A subtle little smirk appeared on Archer's face.

I bit my lip. "You’d do it to me for hours, cumming inside me multiple times, and Thomas would never know, as he slept obliviously in his room. Does that make me a terrible person? A slutty little omega?"

Archer shook his head. "Nah, it just makes you mine. You were mine before you even knew it—since the day you agreed to marry me someday."

"Technically, I never took that nod back."

"Good. Soon, we’ll make it official at city hall."

ARCHER

Watching River truly submit was the sweetest thing ever.

His big, dark green-blue eyes were wide open, framed by those deep auburn lashes. His soft, warm lips were slightly parted, waiting for my kiss. I couldn’t get enough of the sight.

This time, I could feel his submission in an almost palpable way—not just in his body, but in his energy, his mind. There wasn’t a trace of hesitation. River finally wanted to be mine.

I savored the moment, drawing it out, letting myself bask in it. It felt like a long-held dream coming true—the dream of having him, claiming him. From the first time I laid eyes on that little omega, he was meant to be mine.

Slowly—so painfully slowly—I lowered my lips toward his, those soft, ripe-raspberry tasting lips. They were red, just like so many intimate parts of him. His nipples had the same flushed pink-red hue, and the edges of his entrance held that deep shade, creating a breathtaking contrast against his pearly white skin. It was impossible not to stare, not to be completely fixated.

River was truly a masterpiece of nature’s finest craft.

"Red River…" I murmured. "Everything sweet about you is red and pearly… and soon, it’ll all be mine. My ruby gem. My treasure."

River let out the softest, most enticing little hum, his eyelids fluttering. For a moment, I just watched him, admiring those long lashes—thick, like butterfly wings.

"You’re so beautiful," I whispered. "The most beautiful omega I’ve ever seen. I searched for another like you for years, but no one even came close. It’s always been just you."

River opened his forest-river eyes. "I don’t get it at all, Archer. I’m such a mess. I’m just… chaos."

"But I love your chaos," I murmured. "You’re like wild, rushing water—powerful, mesmerizing."

"But restless water needs a bank… to keep it flowing," he whispered. "You give me those banks, alpha."

"I love your vibrant energy, omega… you’re whole fiery red. My crimson River…" I whispered, pressing a soft, feathery kiss to his cheek.

"My energy… how can you love it? It’s so jagged, so uneven. Half the time, I’m just a ball of stress."

I lifted my head, gazing into his big eyes, admiring their unique color. "It doesn’t bother me. I accept you exactly as you are. Everything you call imperfect—I just call: the perfect you."

River closed his eyes. "I just… I wish I were perfect. Especially… a perfect parent."

I brushed my lips against his small nose. "What even is a ‘perfect’ parent? Some messed-up standard we’re all supposed to chase? You love your kids, and you do everything to keep them safe, as you see it. Everyone makes mistakes along the way, but that’s what makes it real. That’s what makesyoureal."

My lips moved down his jaw, along his chin. "…and it makes you so vulnerable."

"I need you, Archer," he whispered, as I traced soft kisses along his delicate collarbones. His voice was a quiet plea, his body shivering under my touch.

"This is what I want, Archer. I want you—more than anything in the world. I want to be yours. Fill me—no limits, no beginning, no end. Alpha and omega," he murmured, arching beneath me so beautifully.

My mouth found his red, berry-like nipples. I took one between my lips, sucking lightly, and River let out a sharp little gasp, as I hummed against his skin.

"You’ll be mine in just a moment. Just a little more patience," I whispered, moving lower, my mouth tracing over his stomach, where faint stretch marks told stories of the lives he had carried.

"You’re so fertile," I breathed.

River let out a soft, kittenish sound. "That’s… an interesting compliment. But I’ll take it. I want to be fertile for you. I want to give you children."
