Page 74 of The Omega Archives: Part Two

He waited for a beat.

“Only a little,” I admitted. “My omega is being weird and I don’t like it.”

His brow creased. “Weird?”

“Yes,”I said.“Likeit’slonelyandthenit'sall whiny and needyandsometimes I feel like I just want to cry about everything because nothing is rightandthenweirdlyit’slike everything is perfect when you guys are aroundwhichmakes no sense considering just about everything which then makes my omega turn into some sort of horny monster.”

By the end of my tirade,Cal’slips were pressed togethertightly.

“You’re laughing at me.”

“I’m not.”

“You areandI can only imagine thatI’mnot the girl you wanted to go out with anymoreall ofa few weeks ago now thatI’man omega-zilla.”

“You sound just like any other omega, beautiful.”

“You have to be lying.”

“I’mnot. Have you never been around another omega before?”heasked.

“Imean, I met that one when Liam came to get me from the library.”

“With the Wolferns?”

I nodded.

“That’s it?”

“Back home…” I started before pausing. “Back home there weren’t a lot of omegas and when there were, well, they didn’t exactly show them off outside often.”

Cal’s humorous expression locked down, squeezing my hand. “We’re going to talk about that sometime, but I promise you, Ella, your reactions right now are normal. You’re omega is seeing the world for the first time and it’s good that you’re comfortable. I’m glad.”

Thiscould not be normal.

“You are fine.”

“Even when I randomly wake up and want to climb you all like a tree?”

His eyes widened with delight at that statement.“Especially then.”

I rolled my eyes.

“Want to get a shower?”

If thatwasn’tan invitation….I blinked, thinking about us both in the shower together. Sudsy and soaking where I could see Cal completely, finally…QuicklyIshook my head and forced myself back out of my suddenlyveryoveractive imagination.“I’mgood.”

Cal chuckled. He could see right through me.“You know whereI’llbe if you change your mind.”

“In the shower.”

He grinned, pointing at me to remember.“In the shower. If not,I’llsee you downstairs to eat.”
