He shook in my arms, and I realized he was crying too. I pulled him up so that he could see the tears on my face, then I tugged him into a fierce kiss.
“I love you, Beautiful Randy. I love you more than I could ever express with just words. I know it’s cliché, but you just made me the happiest alpha—the happiest man—in the world.”
“Really?”
I kissed him again. “You just said I get to spend the rest of my life with you; have a family with you. Of course I’m happy.”
A tear dropped onto his cheek, and I wiped it away with my thumb.
“Part of me is still scared,” he whispered.
I smiled and rubbed my thumb back and forth over his cheek. “Then be scared, and I’ll be here to hold you through it.”
He smiled even as more tears began to fall, then he shifted to nuzzle my chest.
“My alpha…” he whispered.
I shuddered at how good it felt to hear those words. “Say it again,” I breathed.
“My alpha…”
“My omega,” I answered, wrapping my arms around him and holding him tight. “My beautiful omega.”
He wriggled up again, and we spent several minutes exchanging lazy kisses.
“I still want to dance around your living room with excitement,” I admitted as we finally parted.
He hummed. “How about… we just dance.”
“You dance?”
“Do you?”
“Touché. Shall we sway?”
He laughed against me, then sat up. He scrolled his phone for a moment and set it on the coffee table, where the soft music coming from the tiny speaker bounced off the wood.
He stood first and pulled me into his arms.
We swayed through several songs—his head on my shoulder—as Russy watched us from the couch. Firelight bounced and danced on my omega’s skin.
“Alpha?” he finally asked.
“Yes, Beautiful Randy?”
“When we go to bed tonight, I don’t want gentle.”
“Hmm?”
He chuckled. “I want a preview of how you’ll breed me—how you’ll bond me. I need you to make it clear with your cock that I belong to you.”
I couldn’t stop the low growl that bubbled up from my throat. “I’ll make you scream with pleasure.”
He hummed. “Perfect.”
We swayed through another song before returning to the couch—him settling into my arms.
Even as we watched a movie, I couldn’t keep my nose from his neck, inhaling the happiest scent I’d ever smelled from him.
