“It’s fine.” I wasn’t sure if I was telling her the truth or not. All of this was…a lot. But if she was going to accept me, forgiveness was the least I could do. “Seriously. It’s fine.”
“Well, I don’t think it’ll be fine until you have some cinnamon rolls.” She ruffled my hair. “Come. Let’s start over again. With hot tea this time. The cinnamon rolls that are just about to come out of the oven. And maybe this time, I can be anolder orc who isn’t going to jump to conclusions and take some weird protective stance that was actually not helpful at all.”
I smiled. She’d never been intentionally cruel. It had still hurt, but I could give her the mulligan, for sure.
“Yeah. I like that.”
“Hold out for the cinnamon rolls,” his father said. “She might even give you two of them.”
I ended up eating three.
Chapter Fourteen
Thrain
I wanted to take Lucas to my home as soon as we’d settled things with my parents, strip him naked, and have my wicked way with him. And from the heat of our make-out session in the car, he would have been fine with it as well, except for one thing: his dog.
A dog owner cannot just take off overnight without making some kind of arrangements for his pup. And from what he’d told me, I was the first tall person he’d ever taken to. Also, he was adorable. I’d never have suggested any kind of pup neglect.
But I sure didn’t want to go home alone tonight, so when I opened Lucas’ car door for him when we arrived at his place, I had all sorts of naughty thoughts on my mind. He’d seemed open to it all last time we stood outside his door, kissing… But he’d been through an awful lot with my folks, and that would wear out anyone.
So, when he put the key in the lock and faced me, I expected a good-night kiss and no more. But, rather than tipping his face up, he simply strode inside and into the living room before turning around. “You don’t want to come in?”
I was at his side in two seconds, only slowed down by pausing to close and lock the door on the way. Bending, I got my kiss, but it wasn’t good night or goodbye because he asked, “Can you stay over?”
Of course, Bolg needed a walk before bed, and we went together, the little pup straining on his leash in eagerness. I totally got the attitude, only I was eager for something a little different than walkies. When we got back and Bolg was unleashed, he went to the kitchen for a drink and we went in a different direction.
“My bedroom is kind of small,” Lucas said. “But I do have a guest room, so that is a real advantage.”
“Mm-hmm.” I was already unbuttoning Lucas’ shirt and kissing his warm skin. I wanted to map every inch of him and was willing to take as much time as it took to do that. When I had him completely naked, he reached out to me to do the same.
“Omega, I am not exactly the same as a human. Just letting you know so you’re not shocked.”
“I am looking forward to learn orc anatomy,” he said with a straight face.
“Well, you’re about to.” I held my arms up to help him remove my shirt.Please don’t let him be scared.He unbuckled my belt then went down on his knees to take off my shoes and socks before reaching up to lower my pants over my hips.
“Lift your left foot, please,” he said. “Now the right.”
With all those things gone, I stood wearing only my undershorts.
“You look all the same as a human to me,” he said, petting me. “Except for the skin color and the fur…both of which I like a lot.”
“Well, the biggest surprise is hidden behind the underwear.” I was vibrating with excitement and nerves. Mating was not to be taken lightly.
Fingers slipped into the waistband, and the soft cotton brushed my erect cock on the way down. Followed by a softer gasp. “Oh, Thrain.”
I closed my eyes tight, holding my breath.
“You are magnificent.”
My breath came out in a whoosh. Orcs have a particularly unusual anatomy. Our cocks are, according to rumor, not only larger than humans and, of course, green, but barbed. And mine was currently being licked and sucked by the omega who called me magnificent.
As much as I liked it, I didn’t want things to end too fast, and after way too short a time, I eased him off me and lifted him onto the bed. Moonlight spilled into the room, giving me a view of my omega. It lit up his pale skin and caressed his jutting member as well. He was my opposite in so many ways. I must have lingered in my admiration too long because he said, “Alpha, aren’t we going to…”
I left him on his back because I didn’t want to deny myself the pleasure of watching his face as I made love to him.
“Alpha, please, I need you inside me.”
