She touches the boxes and looks over every single picture and description.
“And that’s how you tell what your omega is going to need in her nest,” Milton says from beside me.
“Lights?” I ask, surprised.
“Yes. By the looks of it, it’s what is going to make her experience a sensory wonderland. That is an omega’s purr. If you get lights, she will be happier than she would with a million blankets,” Milton says.
I ponder the situation. “Okay, I think I know what I’m doing now, thank you for the instruction.”
“Good, Alpha, shall I take her and Lorelei for ice cream after?”
“If you wouldn’t mind, there are a few errands that I absolutely must run.” I beam at him.
“Of course, of course. Take all the time you need. The, uh, car will be open.”
I grin at him; he grins at me, and then he turns and walks off, cheerfully whistling.
“I really like this place,” I say to myself as I approach my omega. But I don’t mean this store, I mean this community, Sunshine Cove, this omega. I could be happy here.
It takes me a while to load the car, but I get it down in the nick of time. They come back, and seeing the relief and excitement on her face, I know that I’ve made the right decision.
I’m going to get my omega to purr, no matter what happens. She deserves to be happy.
There are four more bags of material, blankets, and pillows, plus the ten boxes of lights. I spent a small fortune, but it was absolutely worth it.
“Everyone ready to head home?”
I look at this omega who, just by existing, has changed everything for me.
“Yes, I’m ready to go home.”
Chapter 15
Cordelia
Sebastian takes one look at me when we get back and opens his arms. I crawl into them and just lay on his chest, drawing in that intense but soothing scent. I’ve tried to replicate his scent a few times, but I can never get it just right. He strokes my back in long, soothing circles as I fall into a state where my brain finally switches off. There were too many choices, and it just got overwhelming too fast.
It takes a while for me to notice the simmering scent of my heat getting stronger and stronger. I tense, letting out a distressed whine, but Sebastian starts to purr. The vibration under my chest eases the panic but not completely.
“It’s okay, Omega. You’re going to be okay,” Katsu murmurs.
I turn my head towards him and stare into those pale eyes. He’s so confident that everything will be fine.
“You won’t leave me?”
He doesn’t smile; he just presses his fingers to my inner wrist and gently rubs down into my palm.
“I would never leave you,” he murmurs, telling me with both his voice and his eyes.
I believe him.
The heat hits me hard, sudden, and violent. I curl around my stomach, whimpering and letting out a whine. My body clenches as slick pours out of me. My skin gets sensitive, and suddenly, clothes are painful.
“Well, I guess we’re doing this during the heat,” Fox murmurs.
I follow the chocolate smell to Sebastian’s neck and nuzzle the spot, licking and scraping my teeth over it. I shift my body until I’m straddling him, pressing the aching part of me against the hardness that is hidden behind his jeans.
“You’re wearing too many clothes, Alpha.”
