My hands hold his hips in place as I angle upward against him. “Fuck, this feels good.” I’m so hot right now, I could probably come just from rutting against him like a horny teenager.
If the sound of the doorbell didn’t interrupt us, I might have. But I’ll never hear the end of it from James if I ignore the door and his son reports back to him that I was making out on the couch instead of taking the pizza he made for me.
It’s hard, everything’s hard, but I pull back and look into Nathan’s eyes. “We should get the pizza.”
Nathan seems like he’s waking from a daze as he steps out of my lap and opens the front door.
I follow behind with my wallet to give Jimmy Jr. a tip.
The kid takes one look at Nathan and then back at me before he gives me a cheesy grin. “Enjoy your pizza, Dodge.”
Yeah, definitely not gonna hear the end of that.
As soon as the door closes, I hold up the pizza between Nathan and me. “Do you want to eat?”
He looks down at the box then back at me before he shakes his head.
I swallow the lump in my throat. “Are you sure this is what you want right now? You’re vulnerable and —"
“I’m sure.”
I step forward and place my hand on his cheek before taking his mouth again. I don’t know how much time passes before we come up for air, but when we do, I look around the room and frown. “Should we go upstairs?”
Nathan’s eyes go wide with disgust. “No, not here. Can we go to your place?”
“Definitely.”
Our appetites are gone as a new hunger sets in. With Nathan’s hand in mine, I drag him across the street then head straight up to my bedroom. We haven’t even made it to the bed before he’s on me again, his fingers clinging to my back, and his body tight like a wire about to reach its breaking point.
I lift him up by his thighs then lower him onto the middle of my bed. Once I have him where I want him, I stand up and pull my T-shirt over my head.
I hope this is what he really wants right now, because there’s no turning back.
This omega’s ass is mine.

Holy shit, this is really happening. Dodge is unbuttoning his jeans, and all I can do is lie here and stare with my mouth hanging open. He’s so gorgeous. His wide muscles appear to be sculpted from stone, and his skin has a golden glow like he’s spent some time on the beach. His fingers hook underneath the waistband of his underwear, and he tugs them down just an inch before looking up at me. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
I should give him an excuse to stop, but I can’t. My tongue darts out and coats my chapped lips as I nod. “Yes.”
Dodge’s eyes darken as he yanks his clothes completely off.
I gasp when I see the size of his cock. It’s huge. Way bigger than Joseph was and definitely too big to fit inside me. I’m trying to find the words to tell him I can’t take him when he steps closer and releases the button on my jeans. All thoughts in my mind evaporate as I close my eyes and throw my head back, just focusing on his gentle fingertips as they glide across my belly before he tugs my jeans and boxers off me.
My heart feels like it’s about to pound right out of my chest when he finally pulls them down low enough that my cock is free. Dodge’s eyes roll upward as he lowers his face into my crotch, inhaling my scent and licking up my cock until he catches the drop forming at the tip. His fingertips slide from my thighs to my hips and underneath my shirt until he pushes it completely over my head. Once I’m as naked as he is, he hovers above me, just looking at my body.
“You’re perfect, Nathan.” He bends his elbows, lowering onto me like he’s doing a push-up until his body lands on mine.
I eagerly match his enthusiasm, wanting to touch him everywhere, so I do. My fingertips trace the valleys and ridges of his stomach and his back before tangling into his hair. I curl my fingers into a fist, taking his strands a little tighter. Dodge moans, shifting his hip so his cock is lined up with mine.
Holy shit, I’m gonna come already.
I whimper with need I’m not able to express verbally. Dodge understands what I’m asking for and wraps his wide palm around my cock then presses it against his hard dick. I can hardly breathe as he begins to stroke us together while thrusting against me.
It doesn’t take long for me to get to the edge of my control. “I’m going to come…”
“I want you to, Nathan. I’m right there with you,” Dodge whispers against my cheek.
I jut my chin in the air and bite my lower lip as a powerful orgasm rocks through me. Dodge continues stroking even as his body goes rigid, and he unloads his thick cream onto my chest. I can’t look away as he pours onto me, mixing his seed with mine.
Seconds tick by as we both revel in the endorphins shooting through our veins.
“That was… I don’t even have words.”
“Yeah.” Dodge rests his weight on his knees and elbows but presses his body against me, smearing our come together on our chests and bellies.
His forehead nestles in the crook of my neck, and the sound of our heavy pants fills the room. I’m still holding on to the back of his head, but I loosen my grip, spreading out my fingers and lowering my hands to his firm back. “Was that okay for you…or do you need more?”
Dodge rolls his head toward me then lifts up so he’s looking me in the eye. “What do you mean by more?”
“Well, I know you didn’t get to…”
A sexy grin spreads across his face. “Oh, I did. I thought you noticed the pound of jizz on your chest.”
Okay, now I just feel stupid. “I know you did that, but you didn’t get to…knot. Are you okay with that?”
The smile fades from Dodge’s face as he rolls off me and sits up. “Why would you ask that?”
“I just thought it wasn’t as satisfying if you didn’t knot. Isn’t that true?”
Dodge lies beside me and pulls me up onto his chest. “No, that’s not exactly true. But what we just did was amazing. Although, it’s true that knotting is also very amazing.” That sexy grin is back. “But that doesn’t mean my orgasm was unsatisfying. Quite the contrary, in fact.”
“Really?” I finally relax enough to smile back at him. “So, it was good?”
“It was a thousand times better than good, Nathan. And anyone who has ever told you otherwise is a fucking liar. You’re perfect.”
“Huh…” I don’t really know what to say to that, so I clear my throat and change the subject. “How about that pizza?”
Dodge just looks at me for a moment before chuckling. “That sounds great.”

Nathan and I are each on our second piece of pizza back at his mother’s house when Joseph pulls up in front. Nathan still hasn’t told me exactly what brought him here, but I know his relationship with his brother has always been strained. And based on the way he tenses whenever he’s around Joseph, there’s definitely bad blood between them.
Joseph walks right inside with a brown paper bag in his hand and looks between Nathan and me with an annoyed expression. “How’s she doing?”
Nathan takes a drink before answering. “She’s been asleep for most of the day and hasn’t really been hungry.”
Joseph nods. “I brought some broth. She can usually keep this down. I’ll be right back.”
Before we can say anything else, he jogs up the stairs to check on his mom.
“He’s more doting than I expected,” I say to Nathan. “Based on the way he usually screeches out of the driveway, I thought coming by was more of a burden to him.”
Nathan shrugs. “Maybe he really has changed. He was really…nice to me today. It was weird, and a little freaky.”
I can’t hear anything happening upstairs, but Joseph comes down a few minutes later with the bag still in his hand. “She wasn’t really in the mood to eat. Um…” He looks at me and then to his brother. “Will you be staying long?”
I look Jo
seph in the eye and smirk. “Probably.”
Joseph nods then turns toward the front door. “I’m gonna head out. My cell phone number is on that card I gave you, Nathan. Call if you need me.”
“Okay.” Nathan stands up and takes a step toward Joseph before hesitating. “Will you be back tomorrow?”
Joseph has his hand on the doorknob when he turns back. “Yeah. Have a good night.”
He leaves as suddenly as he arrived. “That was weird.”
Nathan chuckles. “Yeah, it really was.”
I lean back on the sofa and take another bite. “You probably already know this, but your brother’s always been a bit off.”
Nathan laughs and then takes a sip of Coke. “Yeah, I know. And he’s always been an asshole, which is why this newfound, caring demeanor is hard to trust.”
I’m not quite buying it either. But I don’t know one side of the story, much less both sides. When Nathan’s ready to share the details with me, I’ll be able to help in a more specific way. Until then, I’m just a friendly neighbor. Which means I probably need to get him to share sooner rather than later.
“So, Nathan, tell me about yourself. What do you do back at home?” I grab another slice of pizza, picking up a piece of sausage that falls from the tip and popping it into my mouth.
Nathan swallows the bite he’s just finished chewing then wipes his mouth. “I work at an Omega House.”
I perk up. “That sounds cool. Do you enjoy helping others?”
Nathan beams with more excitement than I’ve seen on him. “I really do. It wasn’t so long ago that I needed help, so being able to comfort others in a similar situation means a lot to me.” Nathan stops, glancing at me to gauge my reaction to his words.
I keep my features stoic, listening intently to any tidbit of information about this man’s life that he’s willing to share.
Once he realizes I’m not passing judgment, he continues. “Some of the omegas come to us in really bad shape. Being able to show them someone cares about them is really important. Most of them come from broken homes or a life of abuse. It can be heartbreaking, but there is a lot of joy in the work I do… Especially when the omegas finally realize they’re safe and there’s a life after their trauma.”
Even though Nathan’s talking about other omegas, the way his eyes become pained is proof that his story isn’t too far from theirs. And that makes me even more curious about exactly why he left home at such a young age.
“It sounds like rewarding work.” I slip my hand behind his neck and give him a gentle squeeze.
He inhales deeply and relaxes into my hand. “It is. The best part is that I get to drive the van most of the time. I love it.”
“Driving the van?” I’m not sure why anyone would take pleasure in driving, let alone carting people around from one place to another.
“Yeah. I didn’t think I’d ever get my license, but my friend Sean taught me how to drive.” Nathan laughs at a memory. “I used to scare the hell out of him when we practiced in the vacant lot behind an old supermarket. But he never gave up on me. And by the time I was ready to take the written exam, the driving test was a snap.” Nathan’s face is beaming with delight at his accomplishment.
I love seeing him smile like that. “That’s great. Have you been driving for a while?”
“Only for around a year, but I love it.”
His excitement about something so simplistic to most is a reminder that he hasn’t led an easy life. Whatever pain or suffering Nathan went through in the past needs to stay in the past. He deserves to find a happy future.
I place my plate onto the table and scoot closer to him. “Maybe I should let you chauffeur me around while you’re in town. I hate driving.”
Nathan’s eyes perk up. “Really? I’ve seen your car. It looks sweet.”
I chuckle, thinking of the unremarkable Mazda sitting in my driveway. “It’s just a car.”
He doesn’t seem deterred. “Well, I bet it rides great.”
“You want to check it out?”
The twinkle in Nathan’s eye is unmistakable. “No, that’s okay. You probably have things you would rather be doing tonight anyway.”
I lean forward and kiss him gently. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Come on. Take me for a ride.”
Nathan immediately hops up from his seat, brushing crumbs off his lap as he does.
We walk to the street while I fish the keys out of my pocket. With them dangling over his open palm, I raise an eyebrow at him. “You’re sure you have a license?”
He chuckles. “Yes, do you want to see it?”
“I may need to,” I say as I drop the keys into his waiting hand.
Once he’s behind the wheel, he seems nervous. “I hope I don’t wreck it.”
“I’m sure you won’t. But I’m insured.”
Nathan takes a deep breath before he turns the ignition. I’ve never seen anyone so excited to drive a Mazda. But his happiness makes me happy, and that’s all that matters right now.
“Where to?” he asks, becoming serious as he reverses into the street.
“How about dessert?” I adjust the seat to make some space for my long legs. I’ve never actually been in the passenger seat before. “You choose.”
Nathan puts the car in drive and sets off down the road. He really is a good driver and is a bit more cautious than I am. Although, as soon as we hit the highway, he revs the engine and gets up to sixty before we’re even off the ramp.
I push the button on the center console to roll down our windows, letting the fresh evening air fly across our faces. Nathan’s wavy blond hair whips around his ears, but he doesn’t let it bother him. I’m not sure where we’re headed, but I don’t care. Just spending time with Nathan and doing something this simple makes me smile.
I close my eyes, letting the breeze carry me away until the engine slows, and the sound of a blinker catches my attention.
Looking around us, I notice we’re on the other side of town. Nathan pulls off the freeway and turns on to a frontage road heading toward several restaurants. He turns on his blinker again before we pull into a Dairy Queen. “Blizzard?” he asks as he finds a spot to park.
I can’t remember the last time I had a Blizzard. “Sounds great.”
Nathan steps around the car and meets me at the back with the keys in his outstretched hand. “Here ya go. That was fun.”
“You hold on to them. You have to finish chauffeuring me around.” I close my hand around his, folding his fingers over the keys.
Nathan grins brightly and puts the keys in his pocket. The two of us step inside the restaurant, and the cold air from the vent over the door sends a shiver through me. After we order, Nathan tries to pull out his wallet, but I slip my credit card to the young girl behind the counter before he has the opportunity to disagree.
“The least I can do is pay for ice cream after my hot chauffeur so carefully got me here.” I give him a wink, and Nathan’s face pinks up. I’m not usually good with flirting. But something about Nathan makes it easy.
Once we’re both seated with our delicious ice-cream-and-candy mixtures, I catch Nathan staring out the window. “Am I boring you?” I’m really teasing him but want to catch him off guard to get an honest response.
“No, of course not. Actually, I was just thinking that I’ve never had a date like this before…”
“A date?”
“Oh… Well, no… That’s not what I meant. I mean… Ugh.”
I laugh as he becomes flustered. “I’m happy to call this a date.”
“I wasn’t trying to say that. It’s just, this is how I always pictured a date going. But since I’ve never been on one, I wasn’t sure.”
I don’t believe that for a second. “How has a guy like you never been on a date?”
He shrugs and puts another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth. “I just haven’t. No one has ever been interested, I guess.”
“Then they’re idiots.” Now it’s my f
ace that feels flushed as I meet Nathan’s beautiful eyes.
And for the first time ever, actual joy is reflected back in them.

Tonight with Dodge was like a dream come true.
Something about him is different.
What I feel when I’m with him is something I’m not used to… It’s safe. And even though my problems are still there when we part ways, while I’m with him, everything else seems to fade into the background. And even if it’s just for a little while, I almost believe I have a normal life.
After bringing Dodge back to his home, I surrender the keys to his car and say goodnight.
I’m just about to step away from the front door when he reaches for my hand. “Nathan, I had a really great night tonight.”
“Me too.” I step up to his chest, wanting to be close to him even though my heart is pounding,
“If you need anything, you know I’m right here.” He points to his door. “Just across the street.”
“I appreciate that.”
“I’m serious. Even though I don’t know everything that’s going on, I know things aren’t copasetic between you and your family. So, if you just need to escape for a little while, I’m happy to keep you company. There’s a spare key under the mat if you need it. Day or night.”
His generosity is overwhelming. “I might just take you up on that offer.”
“I hope you do.”
“Thanks, Dodge.”
“You’re welcome.” Dodge leans in and presses his lips gently against mine. This kiss is different from before. Earlier, our kiss was about lust and fulfilling a need we both had.
This time, his kiss is sweet, romantic…passionate. It’s just another way that Dodge is different. He’s kissing me like I’ve never been kissed before, but I hope it’s a way I’ll be kissed many times again.
After saying goodnight, I walk back into my mother’s house. Everything is quiet, so I step upstairs to check her. A small light is glowing from the crack in her door. I tap it gently, not wanting to disturb her if she’s resting. “Mom, are you still awake?”
