“Don’t pick the whole field. We don’t have room in the shuttle,” Wayden shouted with a laugh.
“I won’t,” Blaine shouted back. A few minutes later Blaine ran back to him, a bouquet of flowers in his hand. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Watching you,” Wayden responded, making Blaine blush. “Are you done?”
“Yes,” Blaine said. “We should get going. Your brother is waiting.”
Wayden swallowed a groan. He didn’t want to think about Ckson right now. He was feeling good and happy for the first time in a long time. Thinking about Ckson would only bring him down and he wanted to enjoy this moment with Blaine. He didn’t know when Blaine would make his decision, and all of this would come to an end. Wayden shoved the negative thought away, focusing on the positive.
He got to his feet and took Blaine’s free hand. Hand in hand they walked back to the shuttle where Wayden took Blaine to his room.
“We really don’t have time for this,” Blaine said, but he dropped his flowers and let Wayden help him out of his clothes.
“You smell like flowers,” Wayden said, ignoring Blaine’s words. He picked up Blaine and placed him on the bed. He ran his hands down Blaine’s body and gripped his cock. “I couldn’t wait to touch you like this.”
“We had sex two hours ago.” Blaine moaned arching into him.
“I know,” Wayden said, taking Blaine’s mouth in a deep kiss. Blaine opened to him, submitting to Wayden in the sweetest way, and it drove Wayden crazy. It made him want to claim Blaine over and over, until there was no doubt to whom he belonged. Wayden flipped Blaine onto his stomach and was inside him in seconds. Blaine’s hole squeezed around him so tightly that Wayden gritted his teeth to keep from coming. He gripped Blaine’s hips and made slow sweet love to him, until they came.
“I love you so much,” Wayden said, holding Blaine tight. Wayden longed to hear Blaine say he loved him too, but heshoved that longing away. He had Blaine in his arms. This was enough.
Chapter 20
Blaine
Blaine frowned at the pod ahead of them.
Where the hell were they going?
He glanced at Wayden as they drifted along the busy airway to enter the town. Blaine’s town. The familiar buildings came into view, causing Blaine’s frown to deepen even more.
He was home.
How were they here? Blaine had never told Wayden where his home was. He’d hoped to come home to get his tea, but that had been before Wayden had given him the herbs and they… Blaine blushed. He looked down at his hands, not sure he wanted to be anywhere near his home when he was about to make the biggest decision of his life: accept Wayden as his alpha.
The reminder that he shouldn’t was down this airway. Blaine followed the airway, tracing the route to his house in his mind.He could clearly see his small house and the lonely outer building a few paces away. Blaine bit into his bottom lip as his heart ached.
Wayden turned onto the residential airway that led to the oldest part of the town. The older houses there were beautiful.
Wayden drifted to the largest house at the end of the residential airway. He pulled onto the driveway and turned off the pod. The house looked ancient, like the ones Blaine had read about in his history data reader. Blaine held his breath as he stared at the gleaming black stones that made up the two-storey house. The craftsmanship alone was astounding. There were some modern changes here and there, but the house still retained its ancient and mystical aura that made Blaine long to go inside and uncover its secrets.
“Do you live here?” Blaine asked, intrigued.
“No,” Wayden said tersely. Wayden closed his eyes for a second and then opened them, looking contrite. “I mean, I used to. This is my childhood home. My brother is the one who lives here.”
Blaine stared at Wayden, and he saw the pain that the alpha was trying to hide. Blaine had noticed Wayden’s mood change the closer they got to their destination. It was clear that there was something going on between Wayden and his brother. Blaine wondered what it was.
“Are you okay?” Blaine asked, reaching for Wayden’s hand. Blaine held it tight, trying his best to comfort Wayden. He wanted to do more, but the front door opened just then, and a prissy looking omega walked out to look at the shuttle with a sharp gaze that made Blaine wonder who the omega was. Wayden tensed next to Blaine.
“I thought Matews said Ckson was alone,” Wayden commented, staring at the omega.
“Who is that?” Blaine asked, a strange feeling wrapping around him. Blaine didn’t know what it was, but he didn’t like the omega, even though he didn’t know him.
“He’s my ex,” Wayden announced as he got out of the pod.
What? Blaine stared at Wayden as he walked towards the omega. For a second, Blaine didn’t move as he processed what Wayden had just said. When it finally hit, Blaine scrambled out of the pod and was beside Wayden in seconds.
The ex’s eyes widened as Blaine took Wayden’s right hand, lacing their fingers together. Wayden gave him a questioning look, but Blaine ignored it. Blaine knew he was behaving weirdly, but he didn’t care. Something deep inside him said this is where he needed to be, and he wasn’t about to argue with it.
