Still, a strange eagerness stubbornly burned in me like a conflagration. So when we finished eating and Day stood up to load the dishwasher, I walked over to him without thinking. He turned to me, surprised, as I wrapped my arms around his waist. Leaning in, I pressed my nose to the bare skin of his neck glands.

Taking a deep breath, I realized eight hours had passed since I last sniffed him. I was hoping for a change—and I wasn’t disappointed.

"Hmm… it’s even clearer now! I think we’re getting close. It’s so sweet—like violets and strawberries. Nice combo!"

Day’s steel-gray eyes locked onto mine, and he started breathing faster.

"Apparently, every True Mate has a unique scent—a mix of fruity, floral, earthy…"

Curiously, neither of us reacted strongly to the word, even though it was the first time it had been said out loud in the context of our relationship. It felt as if it had already been hanging in the air, making it hardly a shock.

"It’s supposedly difficult to describe, but people say it’s always very sweet and pleasant," Day continued.

As he spoke, he pulled me closer, burying his nose in my neck glands. He let out a low, vibrating sound I instantlyrecognized, despite never having heard it from any other guy before.

It was the omega version of ‘Appreciation’, linked with many possible meanings, but it also usually signaled sexual interest in another person and an expression of excitement.

"Mmm… I’m starting to pick up on something too. It’s still faint, but if I had to describe it, I’d say it smells like a pine forest and a fresh spring meadow… So soothing, so relaxing."

He pressed his body against mine and I noticed that we both had erections. Day seemed strangely impatient, as he turned his head so that our lips could meet. I felt waves of incredibly strong desire, and my blood rushed to my head and other parts of my body in an even greater surge, making me dizzy. I pulled him closer and my hands moved hungrily down his slender back to his round butt. I squeezed it gently, and he moaned. Suddenly, he did something I wouldn't have expected—he started sliding down toward the floor and dropped to his knees.

I stared at him with wide eyes as he unzipped my pants, and my dick sprang out… Day's eyes locked onto it, as he grasped the shaft. I saw his delicate, pink lips move over the head of my penis. I let out a low sound that I couldn't control—this time it was the alphas’ version of ‘Appreciation’.

"I hope this is okay with you?" he muttered.

"More than okay," I croaked out, unable to believe what was happening—but at the same time incredibly thrilled.

As he took me into his warm, wet mouth, I thought with some regret that this was probably the biggest downside of this whole situation—I just couldn't hold back. It was an embarrassingly short blowjob.

"I… any second now—" I barely got the words out before I came in Day's mouth, filling it so quickly that some of it spilled out onto his chin. But he licked it all up with a distinctive smirking expression on his face.

"I'm glad you look happy, even though I didn't exactly show any staying power," I muttered, amused.

"I'm not bothered by that at all, mainly because we just got another proof."

"What do you mean?"

"Taste. I read somewhere that for True Mates, the taste of their partner's jizz isn't bitter or salty, but sweet, almost like cream."

"And does it taste that way?" I asked, amazed, even though I'd tasted Day’s sweet cum earlier, but I was too afraid to talk about it, not wanting to embarrass myself.

"Yeah, it’s amazing. I can’t say I was much of a fan before—when I was with Nico, I avoided it as much as I could. But, uh, sorry for bringing that up. I probably shouldn’t talk about exes at a time like this, but it’s a pretty important comparison!"

I laughed. "If it turns out to be true, you can talk about him all day, every day. I won’t feel jealous or threatened in the slightest—because at that point, we’ll belong to each other forever. True Mates overwrite every ex in one fell swoop!"

I helped him to his feet and pulled him close to me. When I kissed him, I could taste myself on his lips, but for me, it seemed just… normal. Still, it felt good to know that it was obviously different for Day. As I held him, I could tell he had an erection as well.

"You feel like…?"

"I do, but I really can’t right now. That’s the third text I’ve heard come in. One of the authors I’m working with is having a takeover day, and they need me to write a few posts. I’m pretty sure they’re losing their shit right now. I have to deal with it, but hey, what’s postponed isn’t lost."

He gave me a half-shy, half-seductive smile. Hard to describe how much his whole energy had shifted lately—like he’d become more vibrant, even more beautiful in my eyes. He didn’tlook as thin anymore; he’d filled out a bit in the last two weeks, no longer all sharp edges. His face was softer, more relaxed, and his eyes… Well, I’d always adored his eyes.

Now, standing there, he looked so ethereal and irresistible at the same time. I almost trembled with the desire to hold him, to kiss him, to feel him under me. I wanted to hear him moan… Ugh, I was getting ahead of myself.

Still, this growing awareness of what we could be was rising between us and felt like an unstoppable wave, lifting us higher and higher.

Finally, my excitement got the better of me. "Day… you know what the ultimate confirmation is—for being True Mates, right?"
