Page 172 of His Reluctant Omega

Turning to the side, he smiled, noting the swell was larger than he’d realized. He swept a hand down his stomach, the impression of his scars rough against his palm.

“We’ve been through some tough times so far, but we might have some more challenges to face, you and me. I need you to be strong,” Avery murmured, talking to the babe as he stroked the swell. “I need to be strong, too. For you.”

Avery lifted his gaze and startled. Wilder stood leaning on the bathroom doorframe, a soft smile on his lips.

“You scared me!”

“I didn’t mean to.”

Avery drew the towel around his back to dry off more. “What’re you doing here?”

“You have a doctor’s visit, don’t you?”

“It’s just a follow-up. You didn’t have to come.”

Wilder moved closer, drawing Avery into his arms. “I want to make sure all is well.”

“You’ve missed a lot of time at work. With your big new client, you need to focus some attention there.”

Wilder leaned in and stole a kiss. “You… will always come first.Always.”

Avery tried not to smile. It was selfish of him to luxuriate in Wilder’s attention when he’d already taken more than his fair share, but he wouldn’t lie and say he hated it.

Wilder ran a gentle hand over his belly. “You’re starting to show.”

“Only a little. My clothes will hide this.”

“I can’t wait for you to grow big and round,” Wilder whispered in his ear.

A shiver of desire rushed down Avery’s spine. It took little for him to want his alpha… but the doctor had yet to clear him for regular activity. “The sooner I get to the doctor, the sooner I’ll get some good news.”

Wilder trailed his lips along the curve of Avery’s neck. When he spoke, his voice was deep and full of lust. “What good news is that?”

“You know the good news I speak of.”

“Nope. You’ve got to tell me,” Wilder whispered against his ear.

Avery’s eyes fluttered closed as his alpha kissed him there… and down farther… and farther… “He’ll free me to do as I please.”

Wilder bit Avery’s earlobe. “And what do you want to do?”

Avery mewled. “I wanna climb you like a tree.”

Wilder chuckled. “Oh? And then what?”

“Then… we can… be together.”

“Be together?”

Avery smiled. “We can fuck! There, I said it. Are you happy?”

“That dirty, dirty mouth… it’s so sexy. I want to hear more.” He trailed more kisses, making it harder for Avery to think.

He simply wanted to melt into Wilder’s arms and forget the appointment. “I want to straddle you… and sink down on that big cock of yours again.”

“Mmm-hmmm…it’s been too long,” Wilder said between kisses behind Avery’s ear.

Avery went liquid in Wilder’s embrace. “I want you to pin me to the mattress… and… and… slide into me deep.”
