Epilogue
Shane
I roll over and throw my arms around Connor’s waist, squeezing him close as soon as I wake up. It feels good to be under him, breathing in his heady scent. It’s hard to believe I’m even here.
Since I got hired, I imagined what it would be like to be with someone like him. Someone so big and strong and handsome. And it’s hard to believe he wants someone like me.
He lets out a long breath, then grabs my hand and brings it to his lips. “How did you sleep, sweet boy?”
I grin, burying my head into his chest. What are the odds that the alpha I dreamed about is a Daddy and he wants me to be his boy? It’s almost surreal that the perfect daddy was right under my nose and I didn’t put myself out there. Connor and I could have had years together if I wasn’t such a coward.
But that doesn’t matter. I’m here now, and I’m his just as he’s mine.
“Good, Daddy,” I say into his chest, my words muffled.
Just like he said, we’ve been naked since we stepped foot in his home. And what a home it is. I’ve never been this high in a building before, and I’ve never seen a view like the one from his balcony. After we showered, Connor led me onto his balcony and we spent hours outside looking at the stars. He also sat me on his dick while we looked at constellations, and I rode him nice and slow. They were the most mind-blowing orgasms I’ve ever had. His soft words in my ear, while the breeze cooled my heated skin was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
After we cleaned up for a second time, Connor sat me down and we talked well into the night. He wanted to know everything, peppering me with questions about my life, my education, my plans for the future. It was refreshing to see how interested he was in me. I still can’t believe it.
When I told him what I was going to school for, his face lit up. “You’ll come work for me when you graduate, won’t you?”
“Wouldn’t it be a conflict of interest?” I asked coyly, dragging my hand down his face just so I could touch him.
I didn’t plan to be without Connor. I wanted him for as long as he wanted me, and I told him in his office I wanted forever.
“I own the company, baby boy. I can hire who I want.” We laughed, and I kissed him lightly, just because I could.
With a sigh, I sit up and look down at him. He has a soft grin on his face, looking at me with sleepy eyes. “What’s on the agenda for today, Daddy?”
“I still like the idea of walking around naked all day.” I chuckle, my cheeks burning. I’ve always been shy, so being naked around Connor in the light of day will take some getting used to, but that’s okay. He showed me last night how much he enjoys seeing me naked. “But I want to take you out to dinner. I want to show my boy off so any alpha will know you belong to me.” He pulls me down so he can nuzzle against my neck, breathing in deeply. I shudder as his warm breath tickles my skin. “I can’t wait until you go into heat. I can’t wait to mark you and make you mine.”
I pull back and look at him in shock. “You want to mark me? Really?”
His smile is wide, his eyes flashing as they bounce back and forth between my eyes and my lips. “Of course, sweet boy. I want a future with you. I want forever. You’ll belong to me in every sense of the word.”
“I’d like that.” I bend down to kiss him, but my phone starts to ring, startling us apart. I chuckle. “Sorry, I meant to put my phone on my vibrate. Give me a minute?”
“Of course. I’ll get the shower started.” He pecks me on the lips but deepens the kiss when I wrap my arms around his neck.
My phone stops ringing, then starts up against almost immediately. Connor chuckles against my lips. “Get your phone, baby. I’ll be in the shower.”
“Yes, Daddy,” I say with a sigh, loving that the title leaves my lips, directed at the man of my fantasies.
I watch his naked ass as he pads to the en suite bathroom, mesmerized. He’s so fucking hot. How did a shy omega like me get so lucky?
When he disappears from view, I grab my phone before it rolls over into the voicemail. I check the screen and answer immediately. “Hey, Gina.”
“‘Hey Gina?’” she repeats with much attitude. “How about ‘hey big sister, I’m sorry I didn’t come home last night or tell you I wasn’t coming home and caused you to worry?’”
I place a hand on my forehead in shame. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I just…I got caught up in…the meeting.”
“With your boss? Yeah, I’m sure that was real interesting. Why—” she cuts off, then laughs. “Oh, you dirty dog. You fucked your boss? What happened to you not putting yourself out there?”
I quickly go through what happened at our meeting—without telling her about the sex, that is. “And he told me he was a Daddy, Gina. I was…it was like a dream come true.”
She sighs. “Yeah, I can imagine. I’m happy for you, Shane, I really am. But next time, please call me before you stay out all night. I was going out of my mind this morning when I found your room empty.”
“I will. I promise.” We talk for a few moments more, and before we hang up, Gina tells me she needs to meet Connor to make sure he’s worthy of me.
I release a soft breath before I toss my phone on his nightstand and hurry into the bathroom. Connor’s large, hard body is visible through the glass doors of his shower, and I stand to watch him for a moment. He’s so beautiful. And he’s all mine.
He looks at me through the glass and smiles. “You gonna stand there or are you going to join me?”
With a grin, I hustle over to the shower and pull the door open. He immediately drags me into his arms, wrapping his large arms around me. I smile into his chest, my hands traveling up and down his back. His long exhale rumbles under my chest. “You feel so good in my arms, omega. Where have you been all my life?”
Tipping my head up so I can look into his eyes, I say, “Right here. Waiting for you to claim me.”
“And now that I have,” he says, bending down to take my lips in a greedy kiss that I feel in my toes, “I’m not letting you go.”
