But seeing Kai standing so proudly in his nest made me want to capture the moment in full detail.
I blinked quickly, bringing myself back into the room so I could fully appreciate his nest like he wanted me to. I slowly turned away from the light he bathed in.
My heart tremored at the sight of his easels and canvases, of the table stacked with paint and brushes on one side of the room. At the models, the rolls of fabric, the masses of sketchbooks covering every surface of the other.
But my eyes travelled back to his bed. The midnight blue sheets and gold frame drenched in their three scents. It was so strong I wished I could curl up in it straight away. My omega instincts were telling me to snuggle up and arrange the sheets to create a perfect space for us, but I couldn’t touch it. I couldn’t even move without his permission. Even being here was such a gift. And it made packing up my nest ache even more, because he had everything, and I kept losing what little I could hold onto.
Kai cleared his throat, and I turned back to him. I was too mesmerised by him to speak.
The silence which stretched out between us grew thick with awkwardness. I didn’t know what else I could say apart from thank you.
I wanted to leap on him and drag him to the bed, and fuck him however he wanted, but that was just my body talking. He could just be in a good mood and I might never get to see his nest again after this.
He cleared his throat again. “So, yeah, like, it’s a pretty big space.” He peeked at me from the corner of one eye. “I mean, I know there’s a lot of stuff….” As soon as I met his look, his gaze instantly darted away, pink dusting his cheeks. “So, er, you know. If you just happened to bring a box or two or something, there’s some space in that dingy corner over there.”
He pointed towards a wide area next to the window bigger than my bedroom that looked so clean it could be brand new. I was sure it had fresh paint from the sheen on the white walls.
“Or whatever. It’s up to you,” he said, half turning away from me, hiding from me.
I froze, my eyes wide as I stared at the spot in a daze. The feelings were rushing through me as they burst out of me with a laugh.
“Kai!” I gasped as I let go of my inhibitions and flung my arms around him, hugging him as tightly as I could.
I buried my face in his chest as I squeezed him, rubbing my nose against his bare breastbone through his blouse.
“Thank you,” I rasped. I didn’t even know if he could hear me.
I didn’t want to cry. I’d cried so much since I presented that I didn’t know if I had any tears left, but I trembled as the corners of my eyes stung.
He stilled under me, all his muscles stiff, and I thought I’d ruined it. We might have fucked a few times, and cried in each other’s arms, but that wasn’t in his nest.
The tension lasted barely a second as he softened, gathering me up. I sighed happily as his arms swept over my shoulders, his hands landing on my lower back.
“Yeah, too fucking right. I’m not letting my omega stay in some shitty room at the end of the house,” he rumbled, pressing a kiss against my neck.
Which only made me hug him even harder.
I’d struggled so much just to be heard by anyone, for someone to notice what I needed, what I wanted. And I’d been accepted by Kai so quickly that I hoped to make the most of it in case it was stolen all away.
“Anyway, whatever. It’s up to you,” he said as he shrugged, even though I could feel his desire through the bond. “If you want another room in the house, that’s fine too,” he said with less enthusiasm. “But I’ve got something else to introduce you to before you explore the rest of the house,” he said, stealing a kiss from my lips.. “And, trust me, you’re gonna love it.” He smirked as he dragged me straight towards the bed.

Inever thought having my hair brushed could be so relaxing.
We were snuggled among a mass of midnight blue pillows that Kai had pulled around us.
I almost started crying again as he told me to sit still and arranged everything. I didn’t think it could mean so much for someone to place every single pillow in exactly the right position to nestle us perfectly together.
His back pressed against the gold bars of the head of the bed, his knees up, caging my waist as I sat cross-legged in front of him. The peace of being connected to him was unreal.
It was only briefly, but he removed his hair pin, his thick black locks tumbling around his shoulders before he tied it back with a long, white ribbon. But I wanted to stroke it the same way he did with mine.
Kai shared stories of his family, of how he was treated before and after he presented, and why he cut them out as soon as he did. I asked questions, but he skirted around anything to do with Sin, Caspian, or the rest of the Risler family. And I was able to ask and hear stories about life when he presented.
Listening to his easy tone as he teased his fingers through my hair and over my shoulders would have had me dropping off to sleep.
If not for the fact he’d made us strip before we climbed into bed. His cock was hard against my back, and he sent me pulses of desire at completely random times, leaving my body a mess. I couldn’t tell when the next bolt of pleasure would come, so it made everything more electric.
