“Kellan. Mate. It’s just a dream. Wake up, sweetheart. Wake up. I’m here.”

I pushed some calm into our bond, hoping it would reach him or one of his bears. Something had to work. Sweat dappled his skin, and tears made tiny rivers down his beautiful face. His body was hot to the touch as he continued to twitch and jerk, but the yelling subsided.

Goddess, I would’ve given anything to change places with him. To take on his pain. To erase the memories.

Maybe that was why Fate paired me with him. To help him and love him as he deserved to be.

There was a chance our love could heal him.

“Kellan,” I called out again. Seeing him like this broke my heart.

“Locke?” he questioned. His icy eyes scanned the room, trying to get himself grounded.

“You’re in our house, in the sanctuary. You’re safe. I’m here. Nothing is coming to get you. There’s no one here who can hurt you.”

He blew out a long breath and then turned, burying his face in my chest. “This is so embarrassing.”

“It’s not. You had a bad dream. It happens to us all.”

Kellan’s breaths slowed to normal as I ran my hands over his body.

I moved to the side so he wouldn’t feel my hard-on, but it was there. Rigid. Needy. I was the one who told him we should take things slow, but I had forgotten to remind my hormones. My body responded to his. Couldn’t be helped. He was made for me.

“Are you okay now?” I asked, leaning down to see his face.

Eyes still closed, he nodded. “I think so. Maybe I need to leave a light on or something.”

“That’s a good idea. We can leave the bathroom light on for you.”

He nodded. “That would help.”

“I’m going back to my bedroom, but I’m close if you need me.”

I moved to get up, but he gripped my biceps and tugged me back down. “Please, Locke. Please don’t leave me.”

I sighed. This taking things slow was harder than I thought, quite literally. “You need sleep to heal, omega mine. I won’t be far.”

“Stay with me,” he whispered. “You keep the shadows away.”

Those two sentences made all my walls crumble in an instant. My omega needed me. I could do this. I could stay here with him and keep my cock to myself. For him. For him, I would do anything.

“Okay. I’ll stay. Do you want me to hold you?”Please say yes.

“Yes. Your touch calms me.”

I pulled back the covers to get into the bed next to him as he scooted over. As he did, I noticed he had nothing on. Nothing. Maybe he was more comfortable that way. He did mention that wearing clothes made him feel uncomfortable.

He tempted me so much. Every cell in my body lit up in flames at the sight of him.

“Alpha?” I turned my head and tried to have some decency.

“I’m coming,” I said, cringing at the double entendre.

“Why are you trying not to look at me? I know I’m thin and…”

“You are fucking gorgeous, omega. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“Do you know how much that makes me want you? To hear sweet words come from your mouth? I know you wanted to take it slow but there’s nothing I want more than your body on top of mine, making love to me. Do you want me like I want you?”
