I got out of the car and walked to my door with my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears. Dom was close behind, and the heat of him radiated to my skin even though we weren't touching.
I unlocked the door and stepped inside. “Come in.”
Dom stood in the doorway with his eyes locked on mine and every muscle in his body tense like a coiled spring. "You sure about this?"
I wasn't sure about anything except that I needed him closer. I needed to know if this feeling was real or if I was losing my mind. "Get in here, Dominic."

DOMINIC
I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. The click of the lock was loud in the quiet room and sent a jolt of anticipation down my spine. Carmine stood a few feet away with his hands in his pockets and his eyes locked on mine.
The air between us crackled with tension, and I could smell his arousal mixing with my own. My alpha instincts roared to life and demanded I claim this omega right here and now, but I forced myself to take it slow. "Come here."
Carmine crossed the distance between us and tilted his head back to look at me. The same need in his eyes was clawing at my insides. “I’m here. Now what’re you gonna do?”
I reached out and cupped his jaw with one hand. His skin was warm and smooth under my palm, and he leaned into the touch like he'd been waiting for it. My thumb brushed across his bottom lip, and he sucked in a sharp breath. "Tell me if you want me to stop." I needed to give him an out, even though I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stop once we got started.
"I won't." His voice was steady as he moved even closer. "I want this, alpha. I want you."
That was all the permission I needed to lean down and kiss him. His mouth opened under mine, and our tongues immediately tangled in exploration.
Carmine made a small sound in the back of his throat and pressed his chest to mine until we were connected there too.
My hands moved to his waist, and I pulled him tighter against me. His hard cock pressed into my hip, and it sent a surge of possessive satisfaction through me. He wanted this as badly as I did. “Fuck…”
Carmine's fingers tangled in my hair as he kissed me back with equal intensity. There was nothing soft or hesitant about the way he touched me. He took what he wanted and gave as good as he got.
I walked him backward toward the bed without breaking the kiss. When the back of his legs hit the mattress, I eased him down onto it and followed after him. The bed dipped under our combined weight, with Carmine sprawled beneath me.
He looked up at me with hooded eyes and reached for the hem of his shirt.
I grabbed his wrists and pinned them above his head with one hand. "Let me." I wanted to unwrap him myself and savor every moment of this night.
He nodded and went still beneath me. “Yes, alpha.”
I released his wrists and pushed his shirt up slowly until I could pull it over his head. His chest was lean and defined, with smooth skin that begged to be touched. Not rushing anything, Iran my fingertips down his sides and felt him shiver under my touch. I found the button of his jeans and popped it open before dragging the zipper down.
Carmine lifted his hips and allowed me to remove every stitch of clothing until he was naked beneath me. He was absolutely perfect. My gaze traveled down his body and took in every detail as his thighs fell open in invitation. "Fuck, you're gorgeous."
A flush spread across his cheeks and down his neck as he tugged on my shirt. "You're still dressed."
I quickly yanked my shirt over my head before kicking off my jeans. He watched me with hungry eyes and licked his lips when I finally stripped down to nothing.
Once I was hovering over him again with my dick pressing to his, we both moaned.
Carmine's hands came up to grip my shoulders. "Dom." My name on his lips sounded like both a prayer and a demand. “Please.”
I kissed him again and slowly lowered my weight onto him. My hand slid down between his legs and found him already slick and ready. My omega's body was ready for me to claim him. My cock was throbbing as I worked him open with my fingers. “Almost there…”
His head fell back, and his breath hitched when I crooked my fingers against that special spot deep inside him. "I’m there, alpha." His voice was wrecked and desperate. "I need you inside me."
I needed that too. I pulled my fingers free and lined myself up at his opening. The rational part of my brain screamed at meto grab a condom, but the primal alpha in me knew that wasn’t necessary. "Should I get a condom?" I forced the words out even though I already knew what he would say. I could smell the need to breed wafting off him, and I was there to serve him.
Carmine's eyes locked with mine, and he shook his head. "We're already beyond that, Dom."
He was right. Whatever this was between us had gone way past the point of a casual hookup the moment we locked eyes in that alley. I pressed forward as his body opened up and pulled me in inch by inch.
