Page 12 of Such a Delicious Omega

Samuel stepped closer as my ride pulled up. “I never thought anything bad about you. Trust me. But I wanted to make sure. Because after tonight, I’m not sure I will be able to give you up.”

“You won’t have to. Those are my friends. Remember the bucket list? They are needing proof.”

Samuel chuckled, shaking his head. “I did forget about that. I got carried away with the idea of bringing you and showing you all the ways we could get naughty. Discovering what you like and what you don’t like.”

“You never did tell me what it is you’re into.”

The alpha growled. Not at me but at my boldness which seemed to run free when he was around. I’d never been a bold omega. I didn’t flirt with alphas at random or ask for their numbers. But this one? I wanted to pull him into the car with me—screw the club—and have him fuck me instead. His place. Mine. Didn’t matter. “You’ll find out tonight. Are you still fine for joining me for dinner, or are you tired?”

“I’m not tired at all.”

“Good. Text me when you get home. I’ll pick you up there. I have to get some things done before tonight. I’ll see you at six.”

I turned, but as I did, Samuel gripped my hips and turned me back around. “I forgot this,” he murmured before pressing his lips to mine. I dropped the bags I was holding and wrapped my arms around his neck, turning my head to deepen the kiss.

I pulled away before I lost myself and said, “See you tonight.”

But when I glanced at his groin, I could see that this alpha was already lost. And speechless. I waved goodbye and got into the car. A few miles down the road, I received a text.

That wasn’t nice, omega. Leaving me in the street like that. You might be punished for that later.

My response was fast. Promise?

I arrived in the lobby early, trying to see if I could wait for him instead of the other way around, but Samuel walked in just as I arrived. There was something to be said about an alpha who arrived early. My fathers used to say that early was on time and on time was late.

Maybe Samuel’s parents did as well.

“You’re early,” I said, feeling my cheeks rise in a smile. I’d been doing that all day, more than I had in quite a while.

“I am. I wanted to be here when you came down.”

I checked my watch. “Are we too early for dinner?”

He shook his head. “I’m sure we will be fine. The club isn’t open yet, so we have plenty of time to talk now. It’s a win in my book.”

“Mine too.”

We walked outside, hand in hand, and got into his sleek car. Not a cheap one but not flashy or overly expensive either. The inside was immaculate, and his smell filled the air in an instant. “Where are we going? Another one of your favorite places?”

He nodded and relaced his fingers through mine. “It is. I wanted to show you the city tonight. All that it has to offer.”

I bit my bottom lip. “I think I’m already looking at the best thing this city has to offer.”

Samuel grinned. “You are so flirty, omega. I love it. We’re going to an Italian place. This time, I don’t know the owner but I frequent it when I’m wanting to treat myself.”

I felt my cheeks flush. “Samuel, please don’t take me anywhere expensive. You already spent money on me all day. Breakfast. Lunch. Not to mention shopping.”

He turned to me as we stopped at a red light. “Echo, I’ve been waiting so long for you. Let me spoil you. It makes me happy.”

My heart soared. I had been waiting for an alpha to care for me as well. I had put that pursuit aside since the accident, but now, I was ready. I’d been ready for Samuel since the moment I met him. “Being with you makes me happy. Just know that a picnic in the park or a dinner at home is just fine with me. As long as you’re there.”

When we got to the restaurant, he made me wait for him to open the car door. When he closed it, he pressed me against the car and kissed me again. “That’s for being sweet. Goddess, I don’t want to take you in there. Everyone is going to see you looking beautiful. My wolf is getting very possessive of you.”

My channel fluttered in response. Huh. That was a new thing. “It doesn’t matter who else looks at me, alpha. I’m yours tonight.”

“Just tonight?” he whispered, running his nose along the column of my neck. “Please tell me that you’re mine for more than just tonight.”

“Definitely more than just tonight. Come on. Feed this omega. I’m starving.”
