The room was bright and welcoming. Yellows and whites against dark wooden furniture. Large enough to be made into an amazing home office or even a nursery.
Yes. Mate. Babies.My fox was anxious for kits of our own. I smiled.
Jamie showed me the other guest bedroom, which was similar but in greens and blues with light wooden furnishings. The second bath had a glass-walled area with double shower heads and a double sink counter. But I really couldn’t wait to see the main bedroom.
“Ready to see our room, mate?” Jamie’s hand was on the doorknob, but he waited for my nod before opening. “Remember, we can redecorate if you want.”
The first thing my eyes fell on was the large king-sized bed with a black and gray comforter. The next was the mahogany dresser and nightstands. Third was the large windows that lined one wall and overlooked the forest. An owl was just outside, andI imagined the future nights I would spend looking out into the night and watching the animals, or even a snowfall.
“The bathroom is through there. It has a huge tub that we can explore one day.” Jamie hugged me from behind and kissed my neck. “I think for tonight, though, we should just do a quick washup and get some sleep. It’s been a long day.”
Although part of me wanted to explore more tonight, including that tub and the muscled body of my mate, I knew that Jamie was right, and I needed to sleep more. “That sounds like a good plan.”
Afterall, we had forever together to explore.Tonight, we will just sleep.
Chapter Six
Jamie
“Good morning, love.” I placed a kiss on Charlie’s forehead and noticed it was a bit warm. “Are you feeling okay? You feel like a fever may be coming on.”
“I feel great.” Charlie stretched and got out of bed, coming to stand in front of me. “What time is it?”
“Just after nine in the morning.” I brushed a stray hair from his eye. “I made breakfast. It’s waiting for us out on the back porch.”
“Thanks, honey.” Charlie started for the door. “I’m actually starving.”
I showed him the enclosed porch and pulled out his chair. I wanted to show my omega all the respect. “I made pancakes, eggs, sausage, and there is a bit of fruit too. I hope you like it.”
Charlie sat down and immediately started filling his plate with a little bit of everything. “I love breakfast more than any other meal. And this all looks so amazing.”
“Hopefully it tastes just as good.” I sat down opposite him and built my own plate. “Is there anything you want to do today? I’m off work until tomorrow, so we can go explore town if you want. Or if you prefer, we can chill here. I know we promised Foxy we would head over there, but—”
I stopped speaking when I noticed Charlie’s scent getting stronger, almost overpowering. He was squirming in his seat a bit, his face and body developing a slight flush. His eyes locked on mine, and I knew what was happening. My mate was going into heat.
“Alpha, I need—” Charlie closed his eyes, and his hand snuck down under the table, leaving my imagination to decide what itwas about to do. “Alpha, I need you to touch me. It hurts so bad. Please come help me.”
I jumped out of my seat and went straight to my omega, willing to do anything to make him feel good. “Tell me what you need, Charlie. I’ll do anything for you.”
“I need you to fuck me, Jamie,” Charlie whined. “I need your knot.”
“Are you sure? I don’t have any condoms right now. You might get pregnant.” I watched as Charlie’s hand slid up and down his cock, a tiny twist as it reached the tip. “Are you ready for that? What if my wolf wants to claim you?”
Charlie took his phone from the table and handed it to me. Isaac had given it to him last night, along with his other belongings from the locker. A familiar app was already pulled up. Omegas and alphas could document consent. I looked at the date, and he’d somehow filled it out yesterday before we fell asleep.
“You weren’t under the influence of your heat when you filled this out.” I read through the notes he had made and realized he was fully prepared for this happening. “You knew last night that heats sometimes surprises mates after meeting and wanted to make sure I knew what you wanted.”
“Just read it quickly and take care of me. I don’t want to wait.” Charlie’s needy moan had me fighting back a chuckle I figured he wouldn’t care for.
“Okay. So, you are ready to be fully marked and claimed and do not want to use condoms. The goddess will bless us with children if she knows we’re ready.” I looked up from the phone again. “I agree with you on that. Let me notate my consent, and I can take care of my omega properly.”
“About time.”
Oh, so my omega was a bit of a brat when he was needy. Noted.
“Stop touching yourself.” Although I loved watching him play with his cock, I wanted to get us back to the bedroom, where we would be comfortable the first time I was locked inside him. We could be adventurous in our escapades later. “I’m going to take you properly on the bed this time. I promise we’ll christen all the other rooms eventually. I will fuck your brains out on the porch at some point. Just not today.”
Charlie whimpered. I just picked him up off the chair and carried him out of the room and down the hall, heading toward our bedroom.
