Her breath is warm as she huffs out a tired little breath that sends my skin into a frenzy of gooseflesh.

Love this so much.

I want all the omega cuddles and touches. Want her to be so comfortable with me that she gets confused if I’m a person or a teddy bear. I volunteer to be her teddy bear every day of the week. And nights too.

Fuck. Cuddled up with her? Shit.

One of my hands comes down, absentmindedly rubbing the back of her neck in a massage that she hums at happily. Her heat tilting as I run over her scent gland. Sadie shifts a little and blushes when she realizes she was marking my hand with her scent.

Sweet baby omega.

My hand squeezes the back of her neck, letting her relax as I try to give her physical touch to ease some of her worries.

I add my name as ‘Your Favorite’ and send the picture to myself,wanting this piece of her and I to savor. Wanting to look at this everyday until this is what my life is like everyday.

Maybe I want to show it off to the guys too but that was neither here nor there.

“I should get home.” Her voice breaks me out of my spell as she reaches out for her phone. Taking it from me as she stands up. She’s stretching and letting me see that sliver of skin I want to bite into again.

I’m getting really addicted, really quickly to this girl. I never believed all that nonsense about the intensity of scent matches but now that I’m experiencing it first hand I can see how it can make people insane.

I stand up with her so I’m not staring at her like a creep.

“This was really nice, Anthony. Thank you for taking me.” And then Sadie does something that makes me forget how to breathe.

Pushing up on her tiptoes, her pretty pink lips kiss my cheek.

KISS.

MY.

CHEEK.

So soft and chaste before she settles back down and wraps me in a hug. Her arms are so small as she tries to get in closer to me.

Instantly, my arms wrap around her, squeezing her to me as I inhale the peach fragrance of her hair. I’m burying my nose in it as I close my eyes and commit it to memory.

Sadie smells like summer afternoons at a farm.

All fresh fruit and clean air.

It makes me want to lay in the grass and get a sunburn, taking me away from long dark February nights that we are currently stuck in.

Summer is my favorite season.

“We should do this again.” I rush the words out, desperate to have her agree. Thankful as fuck when she blesses me with one of her pretty smiles.

I love the look she gives to me, like she was really excited to do this again. It makes me hopeful, like I could be the one to do the right thing.

“You know what? I’ll take you up on that. I really needed thistoday.” And I had given her it. “I’m going to take a quick shower but let me know when you’re free.”

She reaches for one more hug and rubs her neck against me.

Fuckingscent markingme on purpose this time.

“Text me when you get home, okay?” She nods her head, giving me a small wave before vanishing into the private locker room that will just be for her.

Giving me one last glimpse of those thighs in black yoga pants as she walks away. I should have taken a picture of those.
