“Thank you,” Wayden said, feeling like he’d won something. He didn’t know what it was, but this moment was important to him. He grasped Blaine’s wrist and rubbed his thumb over the inside of Blaine’s wrist, the way he’d seen Escala do. Wayden’s scent thickened, filling the room, and his insides quivered. It felt strange, but a good strange. His body tingled as all the blood in his body rushed south.

Fuck. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. He wasn’t supposed to get turned on. A whine filled the room, and for a second Blaine leaned into him – his face buried against Wayden’s chest. Blaine’s warmth seeped into Wayden’s skin, making him tremble.

“Are you okay?” Wayden asked, wishing he could touch more than just Blaine’s wrist. Wayden had never wanted anything more. He pressed his thumb into Blaine’s pulse point, fighting hard not to give in to his desire.

“Yes. I’m… this is…” Blaine said breathlessly.

“This is what?”

“Nothing,” Blaine pulled his wrist out of Wayden’s grip and turned to face the wall. Blaine moved so fast, cutting off their connection that Wayden felt disoriented for a second. He stared at Blaine’s back, stunned.

“Are you going to sleep?” Wayden asked.

“Yes. It’s late,” Blaine mumbled.

“But…” Wayden swallowed the rest of his words. He pressed the heel of his hand against his throbbing cock. Fuck. He was so horny. It wasn’t Blaine’s fault that one innocent touch had left Wayden hot and bothered. And their experiment wasn’t even about that. It was to see how omegas felt when their alphas scent marked them. But something else must have happened between them because it had felt like more than a simple scent marking. Wayden had felt all needy… horny – which he doubted was howEscala felt when he scent marked his pack. Maybe he should ask the alpha how it felt.

Wayden closed his eyes but opened them again. He stared at Blaine’s back longingly. He wanted more. Worst of all, Blaine hadn’t answered him yet. Was he going to let him share his heat or not?

“Can you at least tell me how it felt? It’s for my research, remember?” he heard himself say. Wayden winced. He sounded desperate.

“Tomorrow.”

Tomorrow? Fuck… Wayden silently groaned.

“Fine,” he said, turning away to face the window. The light from the twin moons drifted into the room at an odd angle. Wayden stared at the shaft of light, trying very hard to ignore his throbbing cock and the needy feeling inside him. Maybe he was the one who was going into heat. But his heat was still weeks away. He was probably responding to Blaine. Wayden sat up suddenly, as an idea struck.

“What? What?” Blaine shouted next to him.

“It’s nothing. Go to sleep,” he said, getting out of bed.

“Where are you going?” Blaine asked.

“I’m going to work for a little bit. Go back to sleep.” Wayden smoothed the covers over Blaine, gently lying him back down before he leaned down to place a kiss on Blaine’s forehead. Wayden walked out of the room, then stopped suddenly when he realised what he’d done. It had come so naturally; he hadn’t thought about it. Wayden stared at his hands, then lifted one of them to his tingly lips.

What the fuck?

Chapter 13

Blaine

So hard…

Blaine’s fingers dug into the mattress as he tried his best not to reach for Wayden and beg him to fuck him right then and there. Blaine could still feel the alpha’s lips on his forehead.

Why did he have to kiss him like that? Blaine moaned, burying his face in his pillow. He rocked his hips against the mattress, his free hand tunnelling into his sleeping pants. He hissed into his pillow as his fingers touched the crack of his ass. He trembled, every nerve ending alive. His fingers inched lower, but stopped when he heard something outside the room. Blaine snatched his hand away.

What the hell was he doing? Wayden would come back any second.

Fuck.

Blaine turned over and stared at the ceiling of the shuttle. His hole spasmed hungrily as liquid slid down his thighs to soak his sleeping pants. There was no doubt about it. His heat was fast approaching. And he had no idea what was going to happen.

It’s going to be fine, Blaine told himself.

Wayden had offered to help him. He’d more than offered to help him. Blaine tried hard not to think about the other things Wayden had said, because it was all confusing and it made Blaine’s stomach flutter. Blaine had never thought Wayden would be jealous of Escala touching him.

What did it all mean? Did Wayden like him?
