She drifts off to sleep, and I lie there for a long while, just soaking up this moment, the feeling of her against me, the smell of her. I’m obsessed. I’m a goner. Done for.
Over the next few days, I help Lexi through her heat. At first, I was nervous that I wouldn’t be enough, but thankfully, her heat isn’t as intense as some can be. Maybe it’s because of the meds and the damage they’ve already done to her body, or maybe it’s her age; either way, it doesn’t matter.
Being an Omega helps too. I might not have a knot, but I have the same stamina as three Alphas.
When she lets me, I clean her up the best I can, while being out at the cabin with no shower, and make sure she eats and drinks water.
By the third night, I can tell her heat is breaking, and I feel a little sad. These last few days with her have been amazing. Connecting with her like this, having the best sex anyone could imagine, and taking care of her like I love to do was perfect.
What happens now, though? Where do we go from here?
We told one another how we felt, but now we need to have a conversation on what we are moving forward.
I’m not going to stress about it because I know in my heart that this isn’t going to end in heartbreak. I know this woman better than she knows herself. She wouldn’t have risked opening up to me like that if she didn’t intend for this to be something more, to take that next step.
Still, I won’t jump the gun. I will wait to talk to her, to hear the words from her myself.
For now, I’ll lie here in bed with her, naked and tangled together, and enjoy every remaining second of this perfect moment in time.
Chapter 8
Lexi
I’m trying not to breathe too hard because I don’t want to wake Emmett up. I’ve been staring at him like a creeper for the past ten minutes.
I can’t help it. He’s just so pretty to look at.
He’s sprawled out on the nest, full body on display. My eyes slowly trail down his body, staring at his peaceful face, down over his toned abs, right past his delicious V to his cock.
I clench my thighs together at the memories of what that very cock did to me over the past few days. Some things are a little hazy, but I remember clearly our first time. How he made sure I felt safe, that I was okay. It was perfect.
And orgasms, how the hell have I been missing out on those? I plan on having a lot more of them from now on. Especially if it’sthisman who’s the one giving them.
The longer I stare at his cock, the more I swear I see it growing.
“Keep looking at it like that, and you’re going to wake it up.”
My eyes snap up to find Emmett’s sleepy gaze on me, a knowing smirk on his lips.
“Whatever.” I narrow my eyes, cheeks heating. “It’s not all that impressive anyway.”
He gapes at me, and I bite my tongue trying to keep my giggle in.
“Oh, you're gonna pay for that,” he growls. I burst into giggles as he rolls over, pinning me to the bed. Pure joy radiates through me. It’s so overwhelming I could cry.
“Yeah?” I giggle. “What are you gonna do about it?”
“This.” He gives me a wicked grin, and I know I’m fucked. He starts to tickle me, and I burst into laughter.
“Emmett!” I gasp. “You’re going to make me pee myself.”
“What?” he shouts like he can’t hear me. “Sorry, what was that?”
“Can’t. Breathe.” I laugh.
He stops, and I relax into the bed.
With anyone else, I’d have lost it. Being pinned to the bed, being tickled and touched is crossing a boundary that I won’t forgive. But with Emmett, I know in my soul I’m safe with him. That he would never hurt me.
