“Oh. I don’t even know, but what kind of company do you own?” Noel asked.
“Rowland Shipping. It was my brother’s actually, but I took over,” he explained. Isaac wanted the talking to be over, to sink his dick right into Noel’s tight little ass, but he told himself to be patient.
“I haven’t worked an office job before. What if I screw up?” Noel asked, biting on his lower lip.
He leaned forward, gave his mate a deep and lingering kiss. “My current PA, Jordan, will help you.”
Noel clutched at the lapels of his suit jacket. “You’re firing someone else so I can have his job?”
“No. Jordan’s one of my pride members. Most of them are also working in the same company, which is a good thing, because they’ll get to meet you, know you. Jordan has been complaining he’s better suited in accounting. I now have a better replacement for him.”
“Then, that’s all right. I think. Wait. What if your pride mates don’t like me?”
“So many worries, little Omega.” He nipped at the side of Noel’s neck, the spot between shoulder and neck. Where he’d eventually put his mate mark, once Noel was ready. Isaac didn’t want to move too fast. They only met yesterday, and telling Noel he wanted to bite him since last night might only make his Omega skittish of him.
“I want your lions to like me.”
“They will.”
“You sound confident. How can you be so sure?”
“Because they’ll come to see what I see. My wonderful, brave mate,” Isaac said, thrusting his tongue down Noel’s throat.
Chapter 7
Noel’s mind blanked out the moment Isaac deepened his kiss. Heck, he started having problems forming a coherent sentence when he straddled Isaac’s lap. A bold thing to do, but he didn’t regret it one bit. When Isaac pulled his mouth back, he panted. Everything was happening so fast.
He knew Isaac might have an issue with him finding a new job, but Noel didn’t expect this new turn of events. Even if Isaac did decide to make Noel officially his mate, Noel wanted to remain independent. Becoming Isaac’s personal assistant would be a new and exciting phase in his life, because he’d also get to meet Isaac’s lions.
An Omega wolf among lions. Noel would stick out like a sore thumb, he knew, but he wouldn’t give up easily. For now, all that mattered was getting their clothes off. Isaac was all Noel thought about the entire day, even when he went grocery shopping and kept asking Jim about Isaac’s favorite food. Noel was beginning to think Jim was softening up to him. Slowly.
He’d do the exact same thing to Isaac’s other pride mates. Show them a wolf could be a lion, too.
“What are you thinking about?” Isaac asked him.
Noel told him, but Isaac shook his head.
“You should only be thinking of me.”
“Of you?” Noel teased back, reaching out to tug Isaac’s neck tie away, but the lion Alpha took the fabric from his fingers. Noel didn’t quite trust the mischievous look in Isaac’s eyes, but at the same time, he wondered what his mate had in store for them.
“Take your shirt off,” Isaac ordered.
Noel discarded his tee. He was usually self-conscious, but after last night, he felt like a changed man. Isaac seemed to have no complaints about what he saw.
“You’re healed fully,” Isaac remarked.
“Well, I have bruises from all that wild sex from last night, but I don’t mind those.”
Isaac raised an eyebrow. “Pants too.”
“No fair. What about you?”
Isaac gave him an expectant look. Noel got off Isaac’s lap, discarded his bottoms, including his boxers. The sensation of Isaac’s soft trousers on his bare skin felt decadent. He squirmed on Isaac’s thigh as Isaac reached out, gave his thickening erection a squeeze. He moaned as pre-cum leaked from his tip. When Isaac lifted his cum-covered fingers to his mouth, he leaned forward, licked at them.
“Good wolf.”
He grinned, blushing hard but not caring that his entire face and neck might be red by now.
“Hands,” Isaac said.
Confused, he held them out, only for Isaac to use his necktie to bind his wrists together. The burgundy color stood out starkly against his cream-colored skin. He didn’t know why, but the sight of his bound hands, the thought of him being fully nude while Isaac remained dressed, only made his cock harder.
“Very nice. Now undo my shirt buttons.” Isaac shrugged off his jacket. With his restrained hands, Noel began his task, occasionally gritting his teeth in frustration when he missed a slot.
“Will I be rewarded if I do this right?” he asked.
“Let’s see. Maybe.”
He licked his lips as he unearthed more of Isaac’s muscled chest. Very yummy indeed. Feeling playful himself, he leaned forward, licked that line of flesh, only to feel Isaac’s hand land hard on his ass. He jumped. His ass stung a little, but Noel didn’t regret his actions one bit.
“Naughty wolf.”
“I can’t resist candy.”
That got a laugh out of Isaac. “You’re a fucking gift, do you know that? I came home, moody, annoyed from work, but you cheered me up just fine.”
As Isaac said those words, Noel looked right into Isaac’s groin. “Oh?”
Isaac chuckled and undid the rest of his shirt, finally tossing his top away.
“One more obstacle,” Noel said. “Your pants.”
“Hmm. Before you get my cock, I want to play with you a little longer.”
Isaac took his mouth again, ran his hands down the length of his body. Isaac toyed with his dick, gave it a few tugs, before moving lower to stroke his balls, then tracing his puckered entrance. He moaned, incredibly turned on even though Isaac hadn’t even fucked him yet.
“Isaac,” he murmured. “Don’t tease me so much, Alpha.”
“Or what?”
“I might come. I’m so close.”
“Not yet, Omega. You don’t have permission yet.”
God but that only turned the heat up a notch. The time Isaac stroked his prick, Noel couldn’t hold back anymore. He came, painting Isaac’s abs with his jizz.
“Bad Omega. You’ll pay for that.”
“I will?” he asked, flashing Isaac what he hoped was an innocent look. He even bit on his lower lip, but both of them knew he wanted to be punished.
“Now. Bend yourself over my lap, or I’ll be the one to do it.”
How was it possible that Isaac seemed to know the right words to say every single time? Noel got off Isaac’s lap, not easy given his bound hands, but he made do. His Alpha must’ve lost his patience because Isaac helped him on his lap. The next thing Noel knew, he was moaning and squirming as the loud smacks of Isaac’s palm hitting his ass cheeks filled the room. Isaac didn’t hit him in the same place.
The spanking didn’t hurt, not really. They felt more like love taps, but it sure made his cock wake up and stand half-erect. Noel could almost see himself in his mind’s eye, his ass rose-colored from the playful but erotic punishment.
“You think you’ve been suitably chastised, Omega?” Isaac asked, helping him to his feet.
“Not yet.”
“Oh?”
Noel knelt between Isaac’s legs and reached out for the belt loops of Isaac’s pants. “I’ll suck you off. Help you get ready.”
“Anticipating my needs already? Very good, Omega.” Isaac beamed at him, let Noel pull off his pants, followed by his underwear. Seeing Isaac’s massive girth again only made Noel lick his lips in anticipation.
“Oh yes.”
“Less talking. Get to work, baby.”
That pet name made him beam. Noel leaned forward, gave Isaac’s prick a few licks, before taking his Alpha’s cock deep down his throat. It didn’t take long for Isaac’s dick to turn rock hard. He pulled his mouth away when Isaac gave his hair a tug. Seeing his lion Alpha panting and Isaac’s eyes turn to molten gold with desire only heightened his anticipation.
“That’s enough.” I
saac yanked him to his feet, pulled him to his lap.
Noel sighed as his newly welted buttocks touched Isaac’s bare thighs. He experimentally rubbed his dick against Isaac’s hard abs, groaning as Isaac moved his hand past his prick, balls, crease to finger bang his asshole.
“Isaac,” he said, gasping as Isaac pushed another finger inside his puckered hole. Noel’s Omega genes already did the work of slicking him up, so Isaac only had to twist and widen him for penetration.
“I’ve been dreaming about this all day,” Isaac said against his ear. He shuddered as Isaac licked the film of sweat that gathered on the side of his neck. Noel gripped Isaac’s biceps as the Alpha bit down, not hard enough to draw blood but definitely deep enough to bruise.
“Will you make me yours tonight?” he whispered, heart thudding at his own audacity.
“So tempting, but I need you to be sure.”
“I am. Both my human and wolf side know we were created to be yours.”
“Sweet words. Sweet Omega but not yet. You haven’t seen what it’s going to be like, being my mate. I need you to meet my pride, my family. Get to know not just me but also them.”
Noel groaned, but nodded, understanding the truth of Isaac’s words. That made sense of course. He couldn’t just jump into this without knowing what he was in for, but he couldn’t also deny the certainty that gripped his heart. Noel never thought his life was heading anywhere. All he wanted was for Teddy to graduate, be on his way to an amazing future.
Noel never once spared a thought for his own future. Once, he even believed dying alone was better than being mated to some arrogant dominant shifter who’d treat him like a dishrag. Meeting Isaac showed him a future he’d only dreamt of. One which involved him being treated as an equal and yet being himself in the bedroom. Never being afraid of his own dark desires.
Isaac always met him on equal footing, didn’t refuse when he insisted he wanted to earn his own living. Instead, his Alpha had compromised, even found a solution which suited them both.
“Okay,” he finally said. “I can do that. I can wait.”
“Don’t worry, baby.” Isaac pushed at his ass, bringing him forward, so their chests and dicks touched. He moaned. How long was his Alpha going to make him wait?
“I’m not worried. Should I be?”
“No, because you won’t need to wait long. I promise you that,” Isaac said, before plunging his dick right inside him.
Chapter 8
Noel practically rose from Isaac’s lap as he grunted, dug his nails into Isaac’s shoulders as the Alpha continued to bury his massive cock down his hole. He growled as Isaac finally pushed his meaty shaft all the way in. Isaac took his mouth.
He could feel his inner ass muscles relaxing as the initial ache disappeared. Isaac began pounding in and out of him as they both panted, groaned. When Isaac thrust his tongue down his throat, he sucked down hard on it. Fire ran through his entire body, and he was the fuse. Isaac fucked him slow and good now, released his mouth so he could let out a whimper.
“God. Isaac. How’s it possible that this gets better every single time?” he whispered, barely able to get the words out.
His cocky lion Alpha smirked, as if he didn’t want to share the answers.
“Fine. Keep your secrets.” Noel willed his inner ass muscles to clench around Isaac’s dick. The Alpha growled, only to seal his lips over his again.
Noel couldn’t think after that, much less talk. Isaac hammered faster, deeper inside of him, and he panted, arched his back. His balls felt full, his cock close to bursting.
“You coming soon, Omega?”
“Can I?” he whispered, although Noel wouldn’t mind another spanking. Well, maybe another time.
“Go ahead, baby.”
The next time Isaac plunged his cock inside him, the dam inside Noel burst. His mind turned to pudding as he came, spilling his load all over Isaac’s front. His Alpha moved in and out of him a few more times, before filling his ass with cum. Shutting his eyes, Noel rested his forehead against Isaac’s chest. So good. Who knew sex with Isaac only became better each time?
“Did you think I’ve finally put a baby in you?” Isaac asked.
Noel opened his eyes to see his lion looking at him, a languid expression on his face. He envision a cute chubby pink baby in his arms, boy or girl, it didn’t matter. Warm and fuzzy feelings overcame him. Their offspring would be a combination of Isaac and him.
“Oh, I’d like that. You know, I’ve always despised the fact I was born an Omega. Always wished I was like my brother, a normal werewolf.”
“You felt your Omega genes signaled you out from the rest of the world?”
He nodded. “Because we Omegas omit special pheromones, it’s like we’re walking targets, but meeting you changed everything.”
“Anyone who so much as raises a finger at you or looks at you wrong, they’re dead meat,” Isaac said simply, so coldly that it should’ve scared Noel. It didn’t. Isaac’s possessiveness only made him feel cherished. Valued.
“Do you think—” Noel began, touching his flat belly. Another worry plagued him.“—the baby would carry a wolf or lion inside of him or her?”
“I don’t care. I’ll love him or her just the same,” Isaac said without hesitation. “Wolf or lion, boy or girl, dominant, submissive, or Omega shifter.”
Noel widened his eyes at those words. Not every Alpha would say that.
“Wouldn’t your pride have issues if your first born would end up being a wolf shifter? Even worse, an Omega?” He said those last words with dread.
One of the reasons he didn’t want to have offspring in the past was because of his fear of bringing a child like him into the world. One who carried the cursed Omega genes. Noel didn’t want any child of his to go through what he did, to live his or her entire life in fear.
“Doesn’t matter. Any child of ours will be loved and protected by us, by my pride.”
“Truly?” he asked, baffled by Isaac’s words.
“I’d never lie to you, not in a million years, baby.”
He hugged his Alpha fiercely. Relief filled him. Now more than ever, he wanted Isaac to plant a baby inside of him. He bet Isaac would be an amazing father and mate. “Thank you. Those words mean a lot to me.”
“Don’t think so much.” Isaac kissed his mouth, a gentle kiss. The Alpha took his time, which he liked. Noel could spend an entire day with Isaac kissing him slowly like this.
“What if your pride doesn’t like me?” he had to ask.
Isaac frowned and looked at him. “They will. Baby, you worry far too much.”
He rested his head on the curve of Isaac’s shoulder. “I mean it, Isaac. What if they never come to accept an Omega wolf in their ranks? Or think I’m not good enough for you?”
“We’ll come to that if that happens, but I doubt it. They’ll soon see that you’re the perfect mate for me.”
Isaac said those words with confidence, but Noel wasn’t too sure. He only hoped he wouldn’t screw things up for both of them.

“And here’s the list of client contacts,” Jordan was saying. “These are the ones to look out for. Mr. Murdock from TransView Shipping—”
Both of them sat at Jordan’s, well, now his desk, and Jordan patiently explained to him his list of tasks and responsibilities as Isaac’s personal assistant. His head swam.
Noel tried his best to pay attention. Maybe start scribbling notes on his pad. Really. That proved hard when the other lion shifters in the office kept sneaking him suspicious or outright murderous glances.
When Isaac introduced him earlier that morning as his new personal assistant, he felt like a fish out of water. The other human employees didn’t react the same way the lion shifters did. The humans gave him smiles, polite ‘hellos,’ but the lions only gave him icy stares and silence.
Noel told himself repeatedly not to be disheartened.
Jordan sighed and stopped. “Noel, are you listening? I
f you need me to go through any part of that again, ask. Because I’ll be transferred to the department downstairs and no one will be able to help you.”
So far, the submissive lion shifter had been patient and professional with him. On occasion, Jordan had also been curt and indifferent with him.
“You don’t like me.” Noel didn’t mean to say those words out loud, damn it. He regretted it immediately. Now, he sounded childish.
“I don’t know you,” Jordan corrected. “None of us do. How do you expect us to react when our Alpha suddenly brought you in? Everyone knows you’re more than his personal assistant.”
“Everyone knows?” he repeated. Noel could feel his cheeks heat up. Now wasn’t the time to be embarrassed.
Jordan paused, as if he’d said words he shouldn’t have as well. “What are you to Isaac?”
“Isaac rescued me from three Bloody Claws hyena shifters. I would have died if it wasn’t for him. It’s not easy being an unbound Omega in this city,” he said. “Look, I know you’re just being protective of your Alpha—not that Isaac needs anyone’s protection—but I don’t harbor any bad intentions either. I’m also a hard worker.”
Jordan let out a breath. “We might have just met today, but I can tell you’re not a bad person. Please understand. We’ve been hoping the Alpha would find his mate for years, but you. Well. You’re not a one of us, not a lion shifter even.”
Okay. They were talking at least. Progress, because earlier, Jordan seemed like he only wanted to get the task of settling him into his new position as fast as possible. “Not what you guys had in mind?” he asked.
“That’s an understatement. I have no prejudice against Omegas, but you’re a werewolf.”
“I’m not Isaac’s official mate yet.” Instinct made Noel touch the side of his neck. Last night, he’d been certain Isaac would bite him, hoped for it as well. Isaac made some valid points. It wasn’t the right time yet. He continued, “He wanted to wait, so I can get to know his pride mates better and vice versa.” Noel took a gamble, telling Jordan the truth, but he had nothing to hide.
