“Dammit, Fowler.” Riley threw his hands up and stalked to stand inches from me. “I knew you were leaving town. And I was going to college. You threw me a bone, so I didn’t feel pathetic at prom.”

“It wasn’t—I didn’t kiss you as some kind of pity thing,” I admitted, matching his heavy breathing. “I always thought you were cute.”

“And I thought you were the hottest thing I’d ever seen. I still do,” Riley gritted out, his panting breaths causing his chest to bump mine. “I was a confused gay boy until you came out to me, and then you were the only one I wanted. But you just thought I was cute.”

“You’re still cute,” I couldn’t help teasing, pulling Riley against me. “But I also think you’ve grown into a sexy-ass man, with a sexy ass,” I added, nipping at his jaw.

“Fuck.” Riley gripped my shoulders as our hard lengths lined up. “I’m not in heat yet, and I want you more than ever, Fowler.”

“I like it when you say my first name,” I told him. Kissing the corner of his mouth, I rubbed my cheek against his, getting my scent all over him. “And I want you too.”

“Then take me, Fowler,” Riley whispered against my lips.

Yes, take!

Letting him in, our tongues tangled as we rutted against one another. My wolf and I were fully on board until a horrible thought occurred to me. I stopped the kiss, causing Riley to whine, but I pulled my phone out and let him see what I was typing.

There was a burning question I had to ask.

Me: Can Riley get pregnant?

Riley gasped as I hit send, and we saw the telltale dots of my sister replying right away. They started and stopped multiple times, but I didn’t let Riley move away. Finally, her reply came through.

Lil Sis Channing

I…don’t know. I haven’t heard of an Alpha getting a male omega pregnant outside of myths from the tribe. But your situation is different. He’s older, and you’re trans. I don’t know, and I’m not sure who to ask.

The possibility I could get someone pregnant had never occurred to me before that day, and I had no clue what Riley was thinking. Meeting his eyes, we processed her words silently before my phone vibrated again.

Lil Sis Channing

Just in case…I left a bag of tea they gave me for if I went into heat around an Alpha to keep from getting pregnant. There’s a kettle on the stove. It can be used before full heat to work best, or after if an accident happens. One cup is all you need.

Lil Sis Channing

Please spare me any further details, big brother…

Yeah, I didn’t want my baby sister any more involved in my sex life. Riley had been reading along with me as each message popped up. When he pulled away, I let him go. He paced across the room, and I had a momentary fear he would leave.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

Riley stopped at the box on the table, rummaging around until he found a cloth bag of something pungent. I could smell unfamiliar roots, the earthiness only overshadowed because of Riley’s scent and being in a box full of other smells.

“I’m going to brew tea,” Riley said as though it were obvious, walking to grab the stainless steel teapot on the ancient stove. He filled it with water and got the flame on before crossing his arms. “And then you’re going to fuck me before I go into heat.”

Chapter twenty-six

Riley

The tea Channing left for me was bitter and barely drinkable, but there was no cream or sugar in the cabin, so I gulped it down. If drinking that crap was what got me Fowler’s dick, I would down a gallon of it.

Plus, I didnotwant to get pregnant.

Pouring myself a glass of water as a chaser, I set the cup next to the sink and turned to find Fowler standing in the middle of the room, fists clenched at his sides.

“Are you okay?” I asked, wondering if he was waiting to be kicked out.

Silly man.
