My stomach clenched. “But it’s not supposed to come this early,” I said. “I’m supposed to have like another two months!”

“It’s okay, we’ll do some research and see if I’m right. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed myself,” he said, his brown eyes sparkling mischievously.

I smiled and blushed a little. “I mean, obviously I did too.”

“You’re beautiful always, but especially when you come,” he said. He leaned forward and kissed me again, slow and sweet, until my embarrassment was forgotten. I reached between us and trailed my fingers down his bare chest. His skin was warm and smooth, dotted with freckles, with only a small patch of golden hair between his pecs and a soft trail down to his sweatpants. I brushed my fingers along the waistband and tugged gently on the strings, the back of my hand brushing his cock.

“I’d love to return the favor,” I whispered, giving him a coy smile, and dragging a finger down his stiff length until I reached the tip. He groaned, and I circled him through the thin fabric. “I wonder if you taste as good as you smell.”

“Oh god,” Ben said roughly. “Are you trying to kill me, sweetheart?”

“A blowjob won’t hurt my rib,” I said innocently, gripping him harder and his hips jerked beneath my hand.

If I hadn’t winced as I sat up, I probably would have gotten away with it. But Ben missed nothing and stopped me.

“Lie back down and behave,” he growled. I fake-pouted, and he laughed at me. “I didn’t know you were such a naughty Omega.”

“Would you let me do it if I said I was having another heat spike?” I asked.

“You can suck my cock another day, sweetheart. I’m notgoing anywhere. But it’s the crack of dawn, and I’d love to get a little bit more cuddling time before I have to share you,” he said, curling around me again. I winced again and adjusted to get more comfortable. Maybe he was right about the stupid rib.

He teased his fingers up and down my ribcage until we both drifted off again.

The next time I woke up, the sun had fully risen, and Ben was gone. I checked my phone and saw he’d sent me a text.

I have a couple of client appointments today but you looked like such an angel I couldn’t wake you,it read, along with a hideous picture of me with my mouth wide open, clearly deep asleep and drooling.

I hate you and I will get revenge, I sent back.

As I was brushing my teeth, my phone chimed.

Would it help if I said you’re still the most beautiful woman in the world, even when you’re snoring like a freight train?

I do NOT snore. And I’m suing you for libel.

It’s my word against yours, sweetheart.

I contemplated a good comeback, typed and deleted several options, but finally settled on:Enjoy work darling,and a photo of me flipping off the camera, topless.

I was dressed and heading out the door when I got his reply:You are in so much trouble when I get home.

I was smiling down at my phone, which is why I didn’t notice Lucas standing right in front of the door until I hit his chest.

“Fu- oh hi!” I said. “You scared me!”

“I was just about to knock,” Lucas said, smiling down at me. “Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah, really well, I can’t believe how late it is,” I said.

Lucas’s smile grew wider. “I thought you’d been up for a while. I seem to remember hearing some very interesting sounds at about 5:30 this morning…”

“Oh god,” I groaned.

“Yeah, something like that,” Lucas said.
