Page 25 of True for You

“Thank you,”I murmur as I take the margarita from the waitress, handing Christopher’s mimosa over to him.

“No problem. If you need anything else just lift your flag.”

I lay back in my seat, sipping at my drink. A content sigh leaves my lips as I wiggle my toes which warm in the hot sun. The sweet tartness of my drink pops against my tongue as I sip it. This vacation has been amazing. Everything I hoped it would be and also so much more.

And the best part has been the man lying beside me.

“We have to make this a thing,” Christopher murmurs, adjusting his oversized hat to shield his face from the sun. I’ve applied sunscreen to his skin three times already today, trying my best to keep his fair skin from burning.

“Make what a thing?”

“Coming here,” he answers with a happy sigh. He looks so relaxed and happy. I set my drink down in the white sand, turning on my side to really take him in. He’s wearing a light blue swimsuit that looks downright divine against his pale skin. What I wouldn’t give to leave a pretty red mark on the back of his shoulder and my inner alpha agrees, wanting to mark our omega asours. His blond hair is an absolute mess of curls, even more so than usual.

He’s by far the most stunning omega I’ve ever laid eyes on. I take a deep breath and smile as I get a whiff of his warm syrupy scent mixed with the breeze coming off the ocean. God, I love it here and I love that I get to spend it with Christopher.

“We could make this our special vacation spot,” I say in agreement. “Five year anniversary. Ten year. All those special milestones, we come back here.”

“That sounds perfect,” Christopher says with a soft smile, a content sigh leaving his lips. “And there’s something amazing about picturing the future like that. Planning for five and ten and more years. I like that.”

“Me too,” I say softly, reaching over and tucking Christopher’s hair behind his ear so I can see his pretty eyes. “And I can’t wait to officially be mated to you. It’s been so hard waiting.”

Christopher sticks out his bottom lip, batting his lashes at me and making me snort. “You’ve been such a good alpha waiting,” he tells me, turning his head and kissing my wrist. “And you don’t have to wait any longer. We should head back to our room.”

“Oh. Are you feeling okay?”

“Fine,” he says, his smile turning downright feral. “I can feel my heat coming on though and I’d rather not experience that out here. Way too hot,” he jokes despite the way my entire body is going rigid. My eyes dart around, making sure no one else heard that. My inner alpha is having an absolute fit about my omega being out in the open for anyone to smell but I do my best to push him down. It wouldn’t help anyone if I let my instincts take over.

“We should umm,” I clear my throat as best as I can, keeping my growl at bay. I take a deep breath, trying to keep myself calm. “We should head inside. Where it’s just the two of us.”

“You mean you don’t want everyone smelling my heat?”

“I swear to god, Christopher, if you’re gonna be a little shit I will literally put you over my shoulder and carry you inside,” I say through gritted teeth, meaning every single word.

Christopher’s eyes sparkle and that’s when I know what I have to do. Without missing a beat I stand up, pulling Christopher along with me before hoisting him over my shoulder. I turn my face, taking a moment to bite his hip which isright therebefore speed walking towards the hotel.

“Oh my god,” Christopher lets out through his giggles, his hands slapping at my ass as I walk. “You’re a knothead! Put me down!”

“Absolutely not. If you’re gonna act like a brat I’m gonna treat you like one!”

Christopher tries to squirm but I’m much stronger than him and keep him in place without much effort. The entire way to our hotel room he giggles and teases me ruthlessly. His scent grows heavy in my nose, the syrup scent I’m so used to starting to take on some additional sweet, overwhelming notes, making my inner alpha raise his head, his mouth salivating. His heat scent is already driving me wild and it’s only just started.

My omega smells good enough to eat.

I fumble at our door for my keycard but Christopher has the perfect angle to slide his hand into my pocket and pull it out for me. I kiss his hip as I get the door open. Inside, I’m careful to set Christopher onto the bed.

I take a step back, stretching my neck back and forth as I get myself under control. I never, ever want to do something that could accidentally make Christopher uncomfortable. We’ve both gotten so good at communicating and keeping each other on the same page of how we’re feeling. But right now all I wanna do is pounce on my mate, cover him in love bites and licks until he’s covered in my scent, before knotting him and making him mine. As always, I take a step away from what I want and let Christopher lead. Anything he’s comfortable giving me is enough to leave me satisfied and sated.

“Why are you all the way over there, alpha? Get your ass in this bed before I get this party started without you.”

Just like always, Christopher knows exactly what I need to have my worries dissolving away. He’s so good at that and I love him so much for it.

I slip my swim trunks down, letting them pool at my ankles before stepping out of them. Christopher smirks at me, his eyes devouring me, sliding over my chest and then down to my cock. My inner alpha puffs up his chest, preening at the way our mate is checking us out.

“It’s not often I want penetration but right now, I’d really like to feel your cock inside me, Parker.” Jesus fucking Christ.

I swallow thickly, my cock fuckingjerkingat Christopher’s matter of fact tone. My cheeks flush, the rest of my body heating up as well. “That sounds good. I can help with that. Mhmm.”

Christopher laughs, his face so bright and happy. Yes, I’m turned on beyond belief but I still get a thrill of affection at the sight of Christopher so fuckinghappy. I did that. I made him that happy.
