The moment extended. It was uncomfortable standing with one leg kicked in the air, and I tried to tug it away.

It was just a leg; it wasn’t that exciting.

Xerxes didn’t move.

It was then that I realized a wave of sugary cinnamon was pouring off the omega with an intensity that made my eyes water.

His biceps bunched tightly, and his nostrils flared, breathing me in.

“Um…Xerxes? Are you okay?” I asked softly, holding my hands up like I was talking to a wild animal.

He released a low omega whine. Goose bumps broke out across my skin. My instincts screamed at me to coddle, to protect.

I reached for him. Xerxes slowly looked up, and I stopped just before my hand touched his silky hair.

His pupils were blown wide, and a vein across his forehead jumped against his skin.

This wasn’t Xerxes.

It was an omega in heat.

“You should probably release me and let me—”

I was cut off as Xerxes abruptly wrenched me by the leg and dragged me into his dark nest.

OMEGA MALES HAVE WHAT?

Xerxes omega-whined as I was roughly dragged into the room.

He casually threw me onto the bed like a rag doll.

Fluffy covers enveloped me, and I awkwardly scrambled backwards.

The dimly lit nest room cackled with delicious warmth from an extremely lifelike fireplace projected across the far wall.

Soft snowflakes fell around us.

There was a long moment as we both stared at each other in shock.

Well, I gawked at the half-naked omega, and he devoured me with his eyes.

I pursed my lips. “Should we talk about this?”

Xerxes reached down and ripped off his sweatpants. They fell shredded at his feet.

“So no talkin—”

My ability to speak evaporated as I realized one very important thing.

He wasn’t wearing underwear.

I didn’t bother trying to ignore the elephant in the room, just gaped in shock at the thick dick that bobbed against his stomach.

Instinctually, a soft alpha purr rattled through my chest.
