“Knots.”

Theo snorted. “Do you,” his voice was rough but more serious, hesitant, “ever just feel so empty?”

“All the time.” I nodded, even though he couldn’t see me.

“It’s not hunger, it’s just…”

“Empty.”

We were quiet for a while, just breathing. Maybe… Maybe Daryl hadn’t been very good at this.

“When…” Theo started. “Nevermind.” I felt him shake his head.

“When what?” I curled on my side. So did he. He brushed my bangs out of my eyes.

“I just don’t have a lot of omega friends.”

“I don’t haveanyomega friends.”

“When they pull out too soon, is it, like, I don’t know. Painful isn’t the right word.”

“I thought it was just me! It’s like all of a sudden the movie is in black and white.”

“And it’s worse when you’ve been on a knot.”

“He’s done, but you’re not.”

“And you just know you’re going to be empty again.”

I wiped at a spot on his chin. “You’re covered in slick.”

Theo picked his head up and looked down at the mess we made. “You’re not nearly covered enough.”

I laughed. “We will have to work on that.”

He planted his hands next to my head and hovered above me. “Male omegas have a superpower. Did you know?”

“No. What?”

“We can always go again.”

I raised an eyebrow. I trailed my hands down his chest just to watch him shiver. My eyes went wide when I found his cock and let my fingers explore. He was still hard and dripping.

“Again.”

Theo moved between my legs and hooked his arm under my knee.
