Page 110 of Omega's Secret Guardian

Linus poked his head into the fridge.

He gagged. “Oh gods. I need to use the bathroom.”

He scrambled away, leaving Storm alone with his mom. This wasn’t ideal either, but it gave Storm the chance he had been hoping for.

“We were hiding from his ex,” Storm said quietly. “Well, I put him in the back room so he wouldn’t realize that Dert was looking for him, but then I needed a reason for him to stay in there. So, cheesecake.”

Belinda stiffened. “Dert is looking for him?”

Storm glanced at the hallway. “He’s been snooping around. I’m trying to keep him away from Linus.”

“You can’t possibly be with him every second of the day.”

Storm scratched his jaw awkwardly. “Actually, I can. And I have been.”

“Don’t you have a job?” Belinda asked slowly. “That’s a lot of commitment.”

“I work remotely on my laptop. I’m a programmer. It lets me follow Linus around.”

Gods, that sounded so incriminating.

But Belinda only nodded, some of the tension leaving her shoulders. “So you’re willing to stick with him.”

I can’t possibly tell her that I’m prepared to hang around Linus for the next eighteen years. Gods, the questions that’ll arise...

The sound of retching reached the kitchen.

Storm took off immediately, sprinting through the house until he found Linus hunched over a toilet. “Sweetheart!”

He dropped to his knees next to Linus and brushed his hair away from his face.

“I’m fine.” Linus made a face and spat.

“That can’t be comfortable.”

“It won’t be the last time,” Linus pointed out grumpily.

Storm winced and rubbed his back. “Sorry. Is there something I can do? Wait, let me get you some water.”

He ran back to the kitchen, almost crashing into Belinda.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Um... he isn’t feeling well? I’m going to borrow a glass.” Storm turned to the cabinet she pointed out, retrieving a glass and filling it with water. Then he hurried back to the bathroom and offered it to Linus.

“Thanks.” Linus rinsed out his mouth at the sink. Storm crowded close. Maybe he was overreacting, but he couldn’t make himself step away from his omega, either.

“The good thing about me sticking to you like a barnacle, is that I can help whenever this happens,” Storm murmured.

Linus smiled gratefully and leaned into him. “Thanks.”

“Anytime, sweetheart.”

Linus lowered his gaze, his cheeks turning pink. So beautiful.

“Linny? Are you okay?” Belinda peered at them from the doorway. “Do you need some meds for your stomach?”

Linus shook his head, but Storm spoke over him. “Actually, is there something that’ll help with nausea?”
