Page 29 of The Omega Archives: Part One

I guess that’s somewhat better.

I looped my arm back around him as he relaxed into my hold and murmured, “I really did meet someone, I think. I won’t though if you’re not comfortable. I know we agreed on everything being open between the four of us, but if that isn’t the case with us…”

“Am I ever mad at you because of that?” I asked with a scoff. He was right. The pack had an open-relationship policy, even if the two of us also sampled each other. More than sampled. “Have fun. Do whatever. Don’t come back with an STD or I’ll put you out on the corner with a ‘Beta for Free' sign.”

Cal chuckled. Both of us knew he kept himself clean. Marko was the only one who ever fucked us over after he came out of the military and well, caused a whole slew of other problems for himself as well as the rest of us unfortunately.

“You know that doesn’t mean that I still don’t want to have fun with you, you know,” Cal said.

I snort. “I know that.”

“Then what’s the problem? You’ve been off all afternoon. I would’ve thought you’d be more excited to have me home now that Demetri is cooling off from being around his father so much finally.”

Anyone would need a few months to calm down after being forced into spending time with Prestford Senior.

“I am excited to see you.”

“You sure about that?” Cal lifted his head to hover over me on his elbows. His fingers swept over my chin before sliding down the side of my neck.

I stared at him as he continued to take his time, journeying his touch down over my chest. He only paused the moment his hand cupped me through my underwear.

I had to force myself not to jump to the touch.

God, it felt good.

Cal grinned when my hand snapped to grab his wrist. “Oh, look at that. Youareexcited to see me.”

“You want to play this game?”

“Play? You know I always win,” teased Cal. He gave me another squeeze until I couldn’t help the sound that escaped from the back of my throat.

“Did you actually meet someone,” I clarified, and then I’d drop the subject. “Or were you just trying to get a rise out of me and Demetri again?”

Cal paused. “Yeah. I did. Sort of anyway.”

“Sort of?”

“We had bagels together.”

“Is that some new weird lingo?”

He barked a laugh. “No. Though it probably could be.”

“I pity them.”

“Stop it.” Instead of swatting me, Cal bent down and bit the point of my hip above my waistband. He adjusted himself to look me back in the eye. “I don’t know if anything will come of it. I barely know them. But I figure if something does right when I got back to this town, well, it feels like fucking fate.”

Cal and his stupid fate talk.

“Whatever. Now show me how much you missed me.”

Grabbing the sides of my face, Cal planted a kiss on my lips, dragging it out with his teeth before trailing his tongue across my bottom lip. He licked and nipped down my neck and chest.

I threaded my hand through his waves as he continued his sloppy kisses, tongue skating around my nipple. I let my head lull back as he chuckled against my skin.

“You like that, Sir?”

My only response was to push him down further until he yanked at the waistband of my slacks. I helped him pull them down off my hips until I was free of them completely. My length slipped free, slapping against my stomach.
