But Blue raises his brows. "And how can you tell?"
"I can scent a lot of things. But never mind." He looks at Blue meaningfully. "I will wait."
Blue nods, and we finally leave.
Drax stays behind, and the moment I walk past the threshold, he sends me a wink.
I respond with a low snort.
Only then, when we’re in the hallway, do I finally relax a little.
The guards show up to escort us outside.
Suddenly I notice that Blue is walking slightly slower, his posture just a bit forward-leaning.
Once we’ve put enough distance between us and the room, I take off the clip from my nose and draw in a deep breath with relief. That’s when I catch a faint scent coming from Blue. A barely there trace of… sweet slick.
"Oh, wow," I say before I can think it through. "So his pheromones did affect you?"
Blue shoots me a brief look, his jaw slightly clenched, his cheeks rosy. "Of course. They’re very intense."
"Are you hard?" I ask bluntly, watching the way he walks.
Another glance, and the eye roll.
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
"I can see how you’re walking. I know what it looks like when someone has an erection…"
"Then you already know the answer."
I can’t help it, I start chuckling. Blue rolls his eyes for the second time.
"Very funny…"
"Oh, come on. A little funny, you have to admit."
Blue exhales. "Fine. Maybe a little. It’ll pass."
"I could help with that, if you want…" I add, my voice dropping slightly.
We’re approaching the security gate, and I don’t get an answer.
We make our way back through the same tangle of corridors and turns. Everything happens in silence. As we pass through each checkpoint, I make sure, once again, that no one gets too close to Blue. I’m like a guard dog, letting out low, warning growls when, at the last gate, one of the alpha guards steps a little too close to him. They can probably catch that faint trace of his slick too, so I stay alert.
Then we step out onto the parking lot, where the limousine with Gerard is waiting.
Blue doesn’t seem to be in a much less… erect state as he sits down inside, and only then do I realize how much effort it must have cost him to keep himself under control in front of those guards, because the second the door closes, completely disregarding the fact that Simon is here, Blue makes a sound…!
An AO sound at that.
It’s a call… for sex.
The sound is soft and quiet since Blue’s vocal cords aren’t as mature and developed as those of most omegas, but it’s still easy enough to understand.
"Blue," I mutter, my dick immediately hardening. "Don’t… don’t do that unless you mean it," I add, fighting the molten lava of desire now pouring through my veins.
"Fuck! I’m sorry," he hisses through clenched teeth. He rarely curses, so it had to infuriate him a great deal. "That was stronger than me, and believe me, I made an enormous effort not to do it in the room with Drax."
