“Make me that coffee and maybe I’ll tell you.”
Tanner paused a moment, his eyes narrowing. “Tell me andmaybeI’ll make you that coffee.”
Fitz growled, knowing they could very well ride along that impasse for an hour if he let it happen. “Look… my head hurts. My wholeeverythinghurts. My mouth tastes like garbage.” He glared at the omega. “If you want a story, I need caffeine in order to tell it.”
From the look on his face, Tanner was trying to decide if a little bit of work on his part—and giving in—was worth the reward offered. “You better tell meeverything…or you’ll regret it.”
Fitz knew he might regret it one way or another.
Tanner wandered back to the kitchen, and Fitz heard water running and a too-loud grinder whirling away. That’s about the time his bladder started screaming. “Is there a bathroom close?”
“Front hall, just under the stairs,” came a cry from the kitchen.
Fitz gingerly rose to his feet, the earth only swaying a little. He carefully made his way to the bathroom, wobbling some. Standing before the pot, he unbuckled his belt and unfastened his jeans before lowering the zipper. As soon as he had dick in hand, Tanner came sliding into the bathroom and sat on the bathroom counter next to him.
“Fuck! Tanner!” he cried, trying to cover his cock with his free hand. He looked down and saw he’d accidentally sprayed some on the back of the lid.Great.
“Whoa! Clean-up on aisle four,” Tanner exclaimed. “Didn’t anyone ever teach youto aim?”
“Fuck you,” Fitz spat.
“Oh, you couldn’t handle me, Fitzy.”
Fitz released a long sigh, not delving into that conversation. “Can you get out so I can piss?”
“It’s not like you’ve got anything different than I do.” Tanner tilted his head, trying to get a peek over Fitz’s hand. “Or do you? Do you have some weirdly shaped schlong? Is it all bent and twisty?”
Fitz growled and tilted his body away from the omega somewhat, hiding himself from view.
“Damn. Now Ireallywanna see it.”
“Can a man not piss in peace!” he screamed, the sound hurting his own head.
The echo of that scream seemed almost trapped in the large half bath.
Tanner shrugged. “Men piss together in public bathrooms all the time. I didn’t think it would be a big deal. The coffee’s going, so you can start telling me deets.”
“Deets?”
“Details. I wantdeeeeetails.”
Fitz sighed again. He would have no peace until he did. As soon as he was done pissing, he wiggled his shaft before shoving it back into the vee of his pants. When he looked up, he saw Tanner staring even harder. “Have you never seen an alpha’s cock?” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he realized the hilarity of that. Tanner had a new man in his bed every week it seemed. The omega had seen an overabundance of cock in his lifetime.
But then he saw a look he’d never seen on Tanner’s face before.
Naiveté?
No way.“I find that hard to believe. You’re no virgin.”
“I only fuck around with betas.” When Fitz lifted a brow, Tanner glared at him. He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes when Fitz didn’t back down with his incredulity. “They’re safer. An omega doesn’t have to worry about getting preggers with a beta. There’salwaysstrings with an alpha… and I don’t need that in my life.”
Fitz chuckled. “You’ve reallyneverseen an alpha’s cock?” Why that thought made him suddenly feel so pleased, he wasn’t sure.
“No,” Tanner said, frowning. “I mean, besides the pictures they show us in health class when we’re young. I know there’s not much difference between us. Just size. And the knot.”
“Oh? Is that all?” Fitz puffed out his chest, his alpha instinct rearing its ugly head.It’s not like I need to show off for Tanner McCreary.
Yet, he couldn’t stop himself, either.
