Page 51 of His Pretty Omega
“My pillow!” I exclaimed, as he turned the key and the car hummed sexily beneath us. The last few weeks I couldn’t sleep unless I had my pregnancy body pillow. Bennett had sworn by his, and we’d gone shopping for one for me when I had complained that getting comfortable was impossible.
Alex expertly backed out of the spot, then took my hand in his and brought it up to his lips. Placing a soft kiss on my palm, he gave me an amused look. “It’s in the trunk. Now relax, please. Put the seat back, close your eyes, and rest. Soon enough, our sweet little one will be here and there won’t be any rest for either of us.”
Sighing loudly, I reluctantly did what he said, and reclined the seat. Wiggling into the soft leather until I was as comfortable as I was going to get, I shut my eyes.
Alex’s free hand came to rest gently over my baby bump, and the gesture instantly had the tension in my shoulders loosening.
Soon the lull of the car, the easy listening station Alex turned on, and the warmth of his hand on my belly had me drifting off.
But not before I whispered, “I do trust you.”
Chapter Eighteen
Alex
Watching Seth sleep had become one of my favorite pastimes. It wasn’t often that he was just…still. His face relaxed, free of all the things that raced through his head, every day, every minute, at lightning speed.
I hated to wake him now, but we had reached our destination, and the valet was waiting to park the car, while the hotel staff was waiting to collect our bags.
Brushing a dark lock of hair off his brow, I whispered, “Cariño,time to wake up. We’re here.”
Seth groaned, his lashes fluttering open, his blue eyes looking dazed for a few seconds. “We’re here?”
He blinked a few times, then looked around before spinning his head back to me. “Alex, this is the hotel where we met.”
Grinning, I exited the car, popping the trunk so our bags could be taken up to our room.
“The pillow too, please,” I instructed the uniformed beta, before I opened Seth’s car door and helped him out. He groaned again, his hands pushing at his lower back.
“Okay?” Every time he groaned, I swore my heart sped up with anxiety.
Realistically, I knew that pregnancy came with aches and pains that had nothing to do with labor. He was growing a tiny human inside him, which was amazing. But I never wanted him to hurt even a tiny bit and wanted to do anything in my power to make him comfortable.
He nodded, still staring at the front of the hotel like he’d never been here before. “Just my back from the car ride. Nothing new.”
Well, that was something I could do something about and planned to this weekend.
The next few days were all about pampering my omega to the fullest. Seeing that our luggage had been collected, and the valet was parking my car, I took his hand and tugged him into the cool air of the hotel lobby.
“Alex,” he hissed, grabbing onto my wrist, “I’m still wearing my scrubs.”
Giving his pink scrubs covered in Disney cats a quick look, I told him, “And they are adorable. Have I told you how gorgeous you look in pink?”
“You’re impossible,” he grumbled, but he couldn’t keep the smile from his words.
Stopping at the front desk to check in, the omega behind the counter preened. “Ah yes, Mr. Ortega, the honeymoon suite is ready for you. We’re pleased to have you back with us.”
In reality, the only time I had ever stayed here was New Year’s Eve, but I had already sunk a boatload of my money into renting the penthouse honeymoon suite for the next few days.
I’d even paid for the room a day earlier than we arrived, so that the room would be already cleaned and waiting for us, knowing we would arrive well before normal check-in this morning. I didn’t mind because Seth was worth every single penny.
“Thank you,” I took the two key cards he handed me with a smile. “My mate and I actually met here, and as you can see, we are enjoying some couples time before our pup arrives.”
The omega gave Seth’s scrubs and belly a once over, before smiling politely.
“Congratulations to you both. We do hope you’ll enjoy your stay. Here’s an itinerary of the spa treatments you’ve booked, and also a listing of local restaurants and attractions you might like. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance with your needs.”
“Spa treatments? Honeymoon suite?” Seth whispered, still clinging tightly to my arm. “Alex, what have you done?”
