“Over time that bond will be broken,” Jaden countered.
“I don’t want you,” Brogan told him defiantly.
Jaden pursed his lips in anger and stepped even closer to Brogan and spat, “You’re a goddamned Omega you don’t know what the fuck you want but I’ll show you.”
For the first time since he’d been turned, Brogan was afraid of an Alpha. Even the incident in the office with Christian hadn’t scared him, it mostly made him want to submit to Christians command, but Jaden scared him. A major part of his change was his bone structure and his strength, so even though Brogan was larger and stronger than the average Omega, he was still weaker than any Alpha. If Jaden decided to attack him there was little doubt that Brogan would fight back, there was even less doubt that he would lose.
“Now is not the time for this conversation, but soon, Brogan, soon,” Jaden threatened.
Brogan had no qualms that Jaden planned to follow through with his threat and he was close enough to feel the hard ridge of Jaden’s cock through the tight pants the other man wore, Brogan was trying to figure out a way to get past the man without a struggle when the door opened.
“Brogan you okay?” Benji asked. “Cade has been searching for you, he thought that perhaps you were sick again.”
“Where’s Cade?” Jaden challenged. “Too busy to check on his mate, I see.”
“Cade’s duties don’t end when he leaves the office, and even though this evening is fun for the guests, it is work for all of the partners, so as much as he’d like too, he can’t leave in the middle of a business conversation, so he asked me to check on Brogan.”
Benji reached out and held the door open, and Brogan pushed past Jaden and walked inside but not before Jaden made a veiled threat, “Brogan we’ll finish our conversation later.”
This time Brogan didn’t bother to respond, he walked through the door without looking back. The first person he saw when he entered the room was Cade. He was staring as though he was waiting for him to come into the room.
Brogan was so mesmerized by the look in those moss green eyes that he stopped suddenly and Benji bumped into him.
“Come with me, Brogan,” Benji whispered to him as he stared at his Alpha. He let Benji lead him away, but before he was out of his vision Brogan turned and gave Cade one more glance and was shocked by the want, he saw there and that’s when he made up his mind.
He was going to give Cade what he wanted, because he wanted it too. It didn’t mean that he was going to change his mind about leaving, but if he was going to be on his own, he wanted one good memory to get him through the lonely days that were sure to come.
The rest of the evening he spent making small talk with Benji and a group of local Omegas and sneaking peeks at Cade. Once he let himself enjoy the sight that was his Alpha, Brogan felt things he hadn’t since that night in the parking lot at Henry’s and he couldn’t wait to get back upstairs.
He wouldn’t beg but he sure as hell would ask.
Now instead of just watching, he was actually flirting with Cade. At first Cade was shocked, but then he began to flirt back. Brogan could tell that it was light flirting as far as Cade was concerned probably because the night was going to end the same as it always did, a hand job for Brogan and a trip to the bathroom for Cade to take care of himself.
Brogan smiled hard enough for his dimples to make an appearance as he pictured Cade’s reaction to him finally putting out.
When Cade responded with a heated look, Brogan blushed and ducked his head; However, when he looked up again, Jaden was standing next to Cade killing Brogan’s playful mood.
After that exchange it seemed as though Jaden was shadowing Cade, causing Brogan to stop the playful flirting. It didn’t change his mind about the plans he had for later, it just felt dirty when Jaden was flirting as well.
It was around two A.M. when the party goers began to leave, but as the organizers Brogan and the Omegas had to stay until the last guest had gone and now it was just a small circle of friends and potential clients left.
Jaden was one of them.
Irina had left earlier because she had a match the next morning and needed her rest, but instead of accompanying her, Jaden stayed behind to talk with Cade. It was supposed to be business but somehow that irritating man kept turning the conversation back to Brogan.
When Brogan yawned in the middle of one of his short answers to Jaden, he turned to Cade and said, “Since I’m headed upstairs and you’re going to be a while, why don’t I escort Brogan since he’s dead on his feet.”
“Brogan you do seem tired,” Benji agreed, “Cade why don’t you get Brogan to bed and we’ll see to things here.”
He was going to send Benji the biggest fruit basket he could find for this save. He thought that the man disliked him but here he was saving his ass from Jaden again. It seemed that they were softening towards each other and if Paige wasn’t still so hostile, they would probably be friendlier.
After having said goodnight to everyone, the couple quickly made their way to the elevator, but before the door could close, Jaden squeezed his way through the closing doors. Brogan half wished that they would close on the man and put him out of Brogan’s misery.
There was more business talk between Cade and Jaden, but Brogan remained quiet. He was nervous about what was going to happen, and apparently Cade sensed the nervousness and slipped his hand into Brogan’s instantly calming him.
“Can I talk you into a drink from the mini bar while we discuss this subject some more, Cade?” Jaden asked when the elevator stopped on his floor.
“No,” he refused as he squeezed Brogan’s hand, “we can talk in the morning.”
Brogan could tell that Jaden wanted to protest, but the door was closing, and the car didn’t stop until it reached their floor.
When they entered the room, Cade sat on the foot of the bed and began to remove his shoes while Brogan nervously watched.
“Brogan?”
When Cade said his name, Brogan quickly excused himself and ran into the bathroom to calm his nerves. Once the door was closed Brogan turned on the water and splashed cold water on his face.
“You can do this,” he told himself. Before he changed his mind, Brogan undressed leaving only his panties on before walking into the suite.
Cade was dressed in his boxer briefs as well and was now sitting on the side of the bed when Brogan emerged from the bathroom.
Mustering up his courage, Brogan walked up to Cade and stepped between his spread legs and leaned in for a kiss.
“Not that I’m complaining,” Cade murmured, “but what are we doing here Brogan?”
“Has it been so long that you don’t recognize what I’m doing?” Brogan chuckled. “I’m. I’m asking you to fuck me, but I’ll never beg.”
Reaching up to pull Brogan into another kiss, Cade whispered, “You will.”
Brogan had expected Cade to be rough since he had been denied knotting his mate for so long, but he was so gentle and loving that it made Brogan want to weep from the pleasure of it.
Even when Cade lifted Brogan and placed him on the bed, his lover was gentle and so giving. The kiss that Cade had started had not been broken and as the Alpha covered Brogan’s body it became deeper and more demanding; but it was always asking never taking.
So, Brogan let him take. Those beautiful hands mapped out the treasure of Brogan’s body learning all of the mountains and the valleys.
When one questing hand found Brogan’s nipples, Cade gave a gently tug before twisting and turning the nub until it was hard and throbbing like Brogan’s cock.
Before Brogan could voice a request, Cade tore his lips from Brogan’s and soothed the abused nub before beginning the same torture on its twin.
At first, he laved the nipple, then released it and blew cool air on it and watched as it hardened before making sure that the other one wasn’t left out.
“So sensitive, Brogan,” Cade teased, “One day I’m going to see if I can
make you come just from this alone. Someday but not today.” And Brogan groaned his agreement.
It wasn’t fair to compare the two of them, but he and Lara had been together for four years and she had never come close to making him fall apart like this.
Just more proof that Alphas and Omegas belonged together.
As Cade continued to lick and bite on Brogan’s body his hole began to leak and twitch as though it was directly connected to his nipples. Even that new opening whose existence that Brogan has denied was feeling sensitive and Brogan wanted Cade to touch it. To lick it, to make him come.
With one last tug from his teeth, Cade kissed his way down Brogan’s body making the Omega whine with need and want.
“So beautiful,” Cade murmured as he continued to rain kisses on Brogan’s body. The compliment made Brogan preen a little, proud that his Alpha found him attractive. “Thank you for the panties. I almost came in the store when I imagined you in them.”
“I’m glad you were able to control yourself. I’m not sure I would have made it through the party smelling your come all night. Now come on, you promised to fuck me.”
This was just fucking, that’s all it was to Brogan and that’s why he tried so hard not to let Cade’s words of praise affect him, but they were true mates and between true mates, words of praise could be just as effective as a touch. Brogan’s body was not on board with the just fucking memo and responded each touch, kiss and words of praise.
He tried to control his movements - just enough to let Cade know that he wanted this to happen but not so much to let Cade know that he was about to blow his mind.
How was he supposed to fight this? So, he stopped. Instead he pushed Cade down to where he wanted him - cock level and threw his head back in ecstasy as his dick hit the back of his mate’s throat.
Forcing himself to look down, Brogan locked eyes so blown with lust that only the outer rim of the iris was green.
He let go of Cade’s head because the pleasure that was coursing through his body was unable to allow him the higher muscle function of holding on and let his hands go limp at his sides.
Why the fuck had he been fighting this, because it felt so goddamned good and just when he thought that he couldn’t handle any more, Cade’s mouth slipped further down his cock until his nose was buried in what few hairs were left at the base of Brogan’s cock.
From the moment that they met in the parking lot of Henry’s, Brogan had assumed that Cade was with him because nature had deigned it so, but the way he was swallowing him down this was not Cade’s first time around a dick, and Brogan for one was happy. He became even happier when Cade’s right hand creeped around and found his slick hole before circling it before slipping the tip inside.
Brogan’s entire body shivered as the entire digit was pushed past the tight ring of muscle and worked around inside his body and when Cade removed it and replaced it with two fingers, Brogan felt as though he was going to explode and did when one of those questing fingers found his prostate and rubbed over the small bundle of nerves.
Unable to control himself, Brogan exploded inside Cade’s mouth. If he had the energy, he would apologize to his lover but Cade was too busy swallowing his release to be offended.
Pulling away from Brogan Cade sat back on his haunches and grinned up at Brogan whose limbs were so loose, he had to extend his arm to keep Brogan from falling over.
“So sleepy.” Brogan smiled down at Cade who even though his chin was covered with spit and come looked ethereal to him at that moment.
“Whoa, there tiger,” Cade chuckled as he stood up and rubbed himself against Brogan, “We’re not through yet.
Reaching out his hand to Brogan Cade backed up to the bed and climbed on and encouraged Brogan to do the same. Brogan was so relaxed that he let Cade guide him to the position he wanted.
“Want you to ride me, love,” Cade told him once he was in position and slipped his hard dick inside of Brogan. “There is nothing more beautiful than seeing you ride me, willingly.”
Once Cade was buried deep inside Brogan it felt as though someone had turned a switch on inside him because there was a current that flowed through him. To keep his balance, he reached forward and placed his hands-on Cade and began to slowly move up and down, and once the head of Cade’s cock brushed against his prostate, he began to increase his speed until he felt Cade’s knot pressing against that little nub inside of him.
“Please Cade,” he begged and tightened their hands together so that Cade couldn’t get away. “Please!”
“It’s okay, Brogan. Come for me,” Cade whispered, and Brogan chose this moment to follow his Alpha’s command and soon he felt his channel tighten and another orgasm ripped through his body. This time he didn’t just see stars he was among them.
He still was holding onto Cade as he continued to move his hips in short stuttering movements until he came a few strokes later.
Riding Cade was wonderful, and he thought that it would be uncomfortable when they were tied together, but Brogan felt none of the awkwardness of being tied face to face with someone he hadn’t taken the time to know. After that mind-blowing orgasm Brogan fell into a deep sleep and it was Cade left lying awake wondering what did this mean.
For three days straight Brogan woke with a smile on his face because the night before he had spent loving Cade and the magical things that Cade did to his body would make anyone smile. He was so lost in the night before that after extracting himself from Cade’s arms that he stood up too fast and a wave of nausea hit him. Laying back on the bed he reached over to the nightstand for the saltines and water that Cade always managed to have for him.
He’s not even sure when Cade managed to place the items there, he just knew that it was there when he woke up. His Alpha was generous like that.
As he lay there munching on saltines, Brogan thought about the past three days and how wonderful they have been. Everyone had noticed the change and how much happier both he and Cade were. Hell, even Paige was warming up to him and that in itself was a miracle.
Brogan could feel his and Cade’s bond strengthening each day, and now he was having second thoughts. How could he consider killing their child?
A lot of the decision to have an abortion came from his father and because of the new closeness with Cade he hadn’t talked to the man in few days and the desire to get rid of his baby wasn’t as strong as the desire to stay with Cade.
Chapter 13
The crackers settled his stomach, so he reluctantly got out of the bed and headed for the shower before he went on his run because there was no way he was going to walk through the lobby smelling like sex. Good sex, he smiled at the memories of last night, but all a passerby would smell was a freshly fucked Omega and he didn’t want to contribute to the stereotype.
Early in the morning the only ones out on the wooded trails provided for the guests were Omegas, but this morning Brogan was out earlier than normal. He wanted the alone time to think about what his future held. His father was going to be disappointed, but this was his decision and hopefully it wouldn’t damage his relationship with the man.
Making his way to one of the little alcoves of trees set up to provide the Omegas privacy as they disrobed and shifted, Brogan thought about his father and what life with him would entail. Now looking at her life through different eyes, he knew that his mother’s life had been hell and he was a contributor as much as his father and that brought him up short.
Had he been part of the reason she committed suicide?
The thought of that made him weak in the knees. He had been an obnoxious kid, treating his mother like a servant rather than the loving mother she was. The only love she received was from his brother and his sister and he gave them both a silent thanks for being decent people.
His only hope was that his father treated his child better than he treated his mate because if he didn’t then Brogan was going to be in trouble. He let himself remember how loving his father had been to the three
of them and let that comfort him and believe that if he decided to go live with his father, then the man would treat him with care.
The longer he ran the clearer his thoughts were, with a smile on his face Brogan thought about his baby and began to apologize for the thought of ending its life. His decision made, Brogan cut his run short to head back to the hotel and wake Cade with a blow job.
His Alpha deserved that for all the shit that Brogan had put him through.
When Brogan reached the small copse of trees just at the beginning of the trail, Brogan stopped to catch his breath, shift and dress. He wasn’t sure if it was the baby or the changes in his body, but he was out of breath from the shortened run and bent over panting when he was grabbed from behind and pulled further into the cover of the trees.
