I blinked.
I hadn’t really thought of what he meant by spoiling me. He was going tobuyme things?
I used to judge those omegas who went around town on their alpha’s arms like they were only there for show, bags handing from their hands. I had thought they were fools for allowing themselves to be controlled.
But fuck me, I wanted to go to a fancy restaurant and have Coal feed me dessert off his fork. I wanted him to dress me up how he liked and be proud walking next to me.
This mating had already changed me... Or maybe it was the months I’d spent held captive in a cell.
I was tired of judging and struggling. I wanted to be cared for, and Coal was offering.
“Food?” I said tentatively, and Coal purred in contentment.
“You got it, baby,” he whispered, kissing me again, on the neck this time.
God, his lips felt good. So soft. His beard was soft too, a gentle tickle whenever he touched me that gave me goosebumps. And thenickname.No one had ever given me one as far as I could remember—nothing nice, anyway.
I bit my lip, squirming a little.
To my disappointment, the movement made his slowly softening knot slip free.
We both let out a soft moan at the loss but Coal took a breath, collecting himself and then lifting himself off of me.
“Come on, sweetheart, let’s make the most of the rest of the day.”
He offered his hand and I took it, letting him pull me to my feet before reaching down and pulling my loose pants back up.
I was a huge mess, but Coal only chuckled.
“Look at us,” he muttered. “We should probably shower before we go anywhere.”
He led us upstairs, taking me straight to the door of the washroom in the hallway before giving me a pained look and pushing me inside without him.
“I’d better let you shower alone or we’ll never get out of here,” he said regretfully.
The way he bit his lip made me think he wouldn’t mind that, and I had half a mind to invite him in with me anyway, even though his come was still currently dripping down my thighs.
He’d barely even pulled out of me and I wanted him back in already.
“Go shower,” I said and pulled the door shut.
I leaned my forehead against it and grinned, feeling giddy.
This was actually happening.
Me,Ember.The street omega. Had an alpha who adored me and wanted tospoilme. It was like I’d walked into an alternate universe.
It had to be too good to be true.
I was still shaking from the sex and the overall whirlwind my life had become. The attack earlier, even that seemed like part of the dream, a set-up for Coal to arrive like a knight in shining armour and justfix everything.
I paused just as the water turned on, pouring over me too cold at first and then quickly turning to blissful warmth.
It felt so good being here, being with Coal.
Would he really not mind being the rock for me to lean on? He seemed to be offering that stability and I wanted to take it, but it seemed wrong to let him bear the burden of being the strong one all the time. I needed to remember to stay strong. Life wasn’t a bed of roses, even though that was what he was leading me to believe.
I shut my eyes, letting the water massage me for a minute while I stood there, wondering what I could do for him in return.
