I contemplate leaving the door unlocked but know there is a long list of people who would kill me for doing that.

My apartment complex is nice and tucked away in a quiet part of town, but I’m still an unmated Omega living alone.

Though, it would be nice to just wait for Ivan to find me in my nest, wet with anticipation.

I can barely get through the shower, my nipples hard and aching, my clit just as desperate for attention.

Slick spills out of me, and I frantically try to wash it away before giving up.

My Heat isn’t due for a bit, yet my body is already acting like it’s in the throes of one.

It’s torture.

Slipping on a black cotton nightgown and panties, I wait for Ivan in my bedroom, pacing across the carpet and yanking out all the nesting blankets I have from the closet.

By the time I’m satisfied, there are mountains of memory foam pillows, silk blankets, soft comforters, and enough comfy materials on my bed to make the perfect nest.

My heartbeat hammers in my chest, and I end up perched on the edge of the mattress, waiting for him.

Insecurities slam into me, my mind suddenly racing with negative thoughts.

What if he changed his mind?

What if?—

But a knock startles the thoughts out of me, and I’m yanking open the front door before I can think.

Ivan stands there, a smile on his face, until he sees what I’m wearing.

“Holy shit,” he murmurs.

“Come in,” I whisper, my cunt aching at the hungry look on his face. “I’m so sick of waiting?—”

The moment he’s inside my apartment, he nudges the door closed and spins me around so my back is against it. His mouth is on mine, his breath minty and sweet, and I let out a strangled moan.

“You…look…incredible,” he pants against my neck. His lips reach my mating gland, and I cry out, running a hand through his messy dark hair andpulling.

“Too sensitive?” he murmurs against my skin, amused.

“Don’t tease me,” I beg. “Just kiss me, Ivan.”

His mouth is back at mine, and my head spins.

I don’t know how long we stand there, tasting each other. I giggle delightedly, but something starts to change.

His delicious scent, apple and caramel, suddenly becomesmore.

He’s always smelled irresistible, but my body grows taut as he flicks his tongue into my mouth.

He grips my waist and freezes, letting out an almost pained groan.

My inner Omega begins to scream, a pressure in my chest building until it’s unbearable.

Mine. Mine. Mine.

“What’s happening?” I gasp, my cunt clenching painfully. My panties are soaked, and I’m dangerously close to an orgasm just from kissing him.

He presses his forehead to mine, panting. “Oh,” he breathes. “Baby, I think it’s happening.”
