CHAPTER ELEVEN

Iwas a little fuzzy on the science behind why people were attracted to each other.
Particularly how alphas and omegas were attracted and whether they knew someone had bond potential or not.
I knew it had something to do with compatible hormones, but there was always that something else that people talked about, the ineffable way they knew when they’d found their life-mate.
Enzo was my life-mate, my omega. I didn’t think about or care about anything else beyond that. He was mine, he was in heat, and he needed to be protected.
“Do you have everything you need in there?” I asked in surprise when he came out of the bedroom in loose sweatpants and a t-shirt, with only a stuffed backpack over his shoulder.
Enzo nodded miserably. “These are all the clothes I have that aren’t work uniforms. And I put my hairbrush and toothbrush in there. I can’t think of anything else I might need for the next few days.”
I wanted to turn him around and tell him to go pack everything he wanted to bring with him for the rest of his life, like the picture on his beat up table that had to be a teenage version of him with an attractive but sad-looking omega, clearly his papa.
Every instinct in me wanted to bar him from ever returning to this sad apartment or his current life ever again.
But I could tell by the growing flush up his neck and onto his face that his next heat wave was coming. We needed to move.
“I’ve got you,” I reassured him, reaching for his hand as he crossed to join me near the door.
The obedient way Enzo took my hand, the desperate, trusting look in his eyes, had my cock standing at full attention in my suit pants.
It wasn’t a good look, but omega heats were common enough that most people who might see us as we moved from the apartment to the hotel I had in mind would know what was going on.
“Thanks,” Enzo said, his voice small and pleading. “I…I really appreciate this. But…my next wave is coming on hard.”
“I’ll take care of it,” I said, feeling more confident than I’d ever felt before. As in, more confident than I’d ever felt in my entire life.
I pulled open the door and was immediately met by the sight of Mr. Tindall leaning against the wall at the far end of the hall.
He had dried blood on his upper lip and his nose was slightly crooked, but that didn’t stop him from pushing off from the wall and charging at Enzo with a crazed look in his eyes.
“Don’t you dare,” I warned him, puffing up in true alpha style.
The bastard was smart enough to skitter to a halt and stare up at me, the dominant alpha in the hall, as Enzo quickly locked his apartment. When that was done, he reached for my hand again, and I led him quickly past the panting Mr. Tindall and down to the parking lot.
“How long has he been after you like that?” I asked grimly as I ushered Enzo around to the passenger side of my car and opened the door for him.
“Since we moved in, about three years ago,” Enzo answered miserably as he all but collapsed into the car.
I nodded, but I didn’t need to say anything else. Enzo was sweating now and breathing like he was forcing himself to remain calm. I ran around to the driver’s side and jumped into my car, turning it on and backing out of the parking space without really looking around me.
“I made a reservation at the Riverview Hotel while you were getting your things,” I said as I pulled out of the apartment’s parking lot, wheels squealing. “They have automatic check-in and keyless entry, so we can go right up to the room without messing around at the front desk.”
“Hotels do that?” Enzo asked breathlessly.
“They do,” I said. I didn’t add that my family owned the hotel as part of our real estate portfolio, or that the executive suite was always on stand-by for our family and anyone flying into Norwalk to do business with us who we needed to accommodate somewhere.
The Riverview was farther from Enzo’s apartment than I wanted it to be, but the benefit of that distance was that he’d be far away from Mr. Tindall, or anyone else who wanted to hurt him. When I said I had him now, I really and truly meant it.
Still, I was on high alert as we parked in the underground garage on one of the VIP spaces.
There were a few people out and about who noticed us with curious looks as I helped Enzo out of the car, then ushered him into the garage lobby and straight into the express elevator.
I was able to use my phone to access the top floor, and once we’d whooshed up and made our way along the silent, penthouse corridor, I used it again to open the suite.
“Shit, what is this place?” Enzo asked as soon as I whisked him into the luxurious suite.
I looked around myself. It had been years since I’d needed to use the Riverview, and they’d renovated the rooms since then.
The suite we found ourselves in now was more beautiful even than the room we’d had at Kincade Slopes.
It was tastefully decorated in relaxing shades of blue, grey, and green that reflected the stunning view of the river out the window.
We were high enough up that we could see the mountains beyond Norwalk’s skyline.
“It’s just a hotel,” I said, downplaying the room’s opulence. “Don’t worry about the rest right now. Your next wave has already started, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah,” Enzo said, breaking down into tears.
My alpha roared with rage that anything had made my omega cry. I turned to him, gently removing the backpack from his shoulder and tossing it onto the sofa, then tugged Enzo’s shirt up over his head.
If Enzo felt awkward or vulnerable over being undressed by an alpha in a suit, he didn’t show it.
He made gasping, keening sounds as I leaned into him and loosened the drawstring of his sweatpants so he could push them down and step out of them.
As he did, his rich, vanilla scent nearly overpowered me.
The seat of his sweatpants was soaked with slick.
“I hate how heat makes me feel,” he whimpered as I stepped back to hurry through taking off my own clothes. “I mean, I love it, but I hate it.”
“How does it make you feel, sweetheart,” I said in what I hoped was a sympathetic voice, though really, all I wanted to do was throw him over my shoulder, carry him into the bedroom, toss him onto the bed, and slurp his sweet slick directly out of his hole.
“Weak,” Enzo sniffled. “Horny.”
I laughed gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you everything you need.”
I was down to just my trousers, but I could see that Enzo needed me.
I stepped closer to him and grabbed his face in my hands, tilting it up to me.
I didn’t hesitate for a second before slanting my mouth over his in a kiss that my alpha wanted to use to claim and subdue him, but that the rest of me hoped would calm him.
It worked, in a manner of speaking. Enzo went completely pliable in my arms, moaning into my mouth as I explored him with my tongue. I lifted him into my arms, and he wrapped his legs around my waist as I carried him into the bedroom.
“So hot,” he whined as we reached the massive, pristine bed. “I just want you to fuck me. I need your cock in me and your seed all over me.”
“I know, sweetie,” I said, nudging him to stand when we reached the side of the bed.
I let go of him and grabbed the duvet, yanking it off so it wouldn’t get absolutely ruined, like I knew it would be if we had sex on top of the bed.
Enzo was shaking and rocking slightly with the force of his need by the time I was finished.
As soon as I unzipped my trousers and pushed them to the floor, kicking my shoes and socks off as I did, he flew at me.
“Need you,” he mumbled as he plastered his body against mine.
I lost my balance and tumbled to the bed, but that helped the process along instead of impeding it. I was surprised to land flat on my back, limbs spread to ease my fall. Enzo gazed at me with wide, hungry eyes for half a second before diving onto me.
I let out a shout of surprise that turned into deep, rumbling pleasure as Enzo went straight for my cock.
It stretched up, hard and thick, against my belly.
Enzo nuzzled its length, buried his face in my balls for a moment, mouthing and sucking them, before dragging the flat of his tongue up the underside of my cock until he could suck the tip into his mouth.
I growled with satisfaction, grabbing a handful of Enzo’s hair with one hand.
The nice, accommodating guy I knew I was made way for the greedy, hungry alpha Enzo had awakened in me.
I loved having my omega service me. I adored the way his entire focus was on bringing me pleasure and getting me off.
I jerked my hips instinctually up into his mouth, but I really didn’t need to do anything.
It felt decadent to just lie there while an omega satisfied me.
I couldn’t hold out for long, but fortunately, with heat, I didn’t need to.
I gritted my teeth and squeezed my handful of Enzo’s hair tightly as the first orgasm of that wave exploded through me.
It was heady and powerful. The look of bliss in Enzo’s eyes combined with the cum he couldn’t swallow fast enough dribbling out of his mouth had me half-mad with the need to possess him.
The pleasure of it all was exquisite, even when Enzo pulled back with a gasp.
I was still coming, and he angled his body so I painted it with my seed.
It was exactly what he needed. I didn’t need knowledge of chemistry and biology to know my cum was good for him. The look of joy in his face was enough.
