Afterglow
Tony
Once she’s asleep, her pheromones change, and I’m able to clear my head again. I brush my teeth and wash my face and hands. After, I use cold water to clear it all away.
The rain has helped.
Everything about her presence is entirely too much, and I’m becoming addicted to it. I’m logging every detail about her into my books. I’m tracking the curls on her head, her sighs, and her eye rolls…
I shake my head.
Doubt that I could ever hand her off to her former alphas is an ever present feeling. I sit down at the desk and start an email to Matty with all this info, telling her where my blind spots are. Kelya is becoming precious to me, and I need to admit that now.
I send off the email and open up a blank page in my notebook.
I write a checklist.
Make Kelya come. Five or six times
Get more snacks and Coke
Almost out of water bottles, too
Ask Kelya about her previous alphas
Pickup nail clippers
Lie to Matty about my feelings and have her see right through the lie anyway
That should cover it.
I tap my pen against the yellow paper. In a note, I add: “no less than four orgasms a night.”
The rain doesn’t stop all night. I sleep in the chair and wake up just in time to see the morning glow across Kelya’s soft form.
Today will be the last day her scent will be hidden from me. My mouth instantly waters as I think of getting a chance to smell her distinct Kelya scent.
When it’s still pretty early, there’s a knock at the door. Her eyes blink open. Goddamnit. Who’s fucking bothering her?
I open the door to Rodrigo. Oh, fuck. He’s coming to tell us he knows I fired my gun in my room.
“Hello, can I help you?” I ask, nonchalant.
“Alpha Racine, sorry to bother you. Is Omega Kelya here again?”
His face is so earnest, and he truly looks so put out standing there in the hallway.
He smells like it, too. The way he asked makes me wonder if the reason they were watching us by the pool wasn’t to see if we were fighting, but to make sure Kelya was safe.
She’s supposed to be in the room next door, and yet we were fucking on my rug…
I keep the door mostly closed so he doesn’t see her on the bed, though it would be difficult from the doorway anyway.
She gets a colorful robe from a hook near the bathroom, haphazardly wraps herself in it, and hops over to us, fluffing up her hair and rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
I open the door all the way, revealing the girl.
“Kelya, Miss…Omega. I tried to reach you in your room, but you were unavailable. I hope it’s ok to reach you here.”
She smiles, and he relaxes. She moves me out of the way with her hips and leans against the door, breaking into Rodrigo’s personal space.
“No problem at all, Rodrigo. How’re you?”
“So, well, senorita. First, we want to apologize for breaking into this room while you were in a delicate position. We were worried when we thought someone fired off a gun.”
She nods.
“We’ve done some investigation, and it appears it was a fluke, maybe a car backfiring. Everyone is safe, so if you want to go back to your room, I can have Tortuga escort you there.”
Rodrigo darts a look at me, suspicious.
“Oh, that’s so nice. I will let you know if I need that.”
“Also, I wanted to invite you to the Noche de San Juan celebration tomorrow night,” Rodrigo says so earnestly it’s actually kind of precious. “It’s a huge honor to be invited.”
Her smile grows wide.
“Wow, I appreciate that so much. I’ll try to be there.”
“We all jump into the ocean waves at midnight. It’s for a great night. Please come. Starts at sunset. He wants to meet you.”
There’s a heavy silence, and I lean in.
“He? The Santo?” she whispers.
“Yes. He wants to meet you.” There’s a tinge of fear in the young beta’s voice.
“Ok. I’ll be there.”
He breathes out a relieved breath. Before he leaves, Kelya kisses him on the cheek. I nearly fly out of my skin, but pull myself back at the last minute. Rodrigo turns completely pink and leaves quickly. She watches him the entire time, then slowly closes the door, flashing me a smile.
“You’re hovering, daddy.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“You’re not into daddy talk?” She giggles, in a good mood, and I can’t help but feel like I had something to do with that.
“Who wants to meet with you?”
“Oh, just some male omega. Jealous?”
I carefully remove my glasses and set them on the desk, returning my gaze to her. I’ve decided to ignore her teasing.
“How’re you feeling?”
She saunters over to me, her hips swaying, and I’m mesmerized.
“Like I’m going to need a new dress to meet this new gentleman omega. I bet he’s not someone trying to kidnap me and port me over a body of water.”
I ignore the comment. “How are you really feeling? Do you need to come?”
She steps into my chest and looks up at me under her eyelashes.
“Yes, daddy.”
I resist the urge to react, but my smile pulls at the edges of my mouth anyway. I have to look away to stop it, giving myself a moment to recover.
“I have an idea of what we can do next, and I think you’re ready for it.”
She blinks slowly at me, and a surge of lust zaps through my dick at how much attention she’s giving me.
“I’ve been with two omegas and have helped them through heats. So I know what I’m doing with omegas.”
Before Emmanuelle, there was a girl in college I helped out for two years. Sometimes she would call me to join her and other alphas, but otherwise, we hardly ever interacted. She eventually bonded with seven alphas.
Kelya is waiting to hear what I have to say.
“I’ve had partners who let me tie them up and have a lot of practice with it. I’d like to do more things with you, if you want. You tried the nylon ropes.” I trace her cheek with the blade of my finger. “Do you want me to restrain you with a hemp rope?”
Her pupils blow wide.
“What?”
“It’s a different sensation. I think you’ll like it.”
“Did you also have to restrain Emmanuelle?”
“No, she wasn’t into rope play. It’s actually been a while. I’d like to try this with you.”
Her lips part as she takes a shuttering inhale.
“Ok. I want to try the hemp rope.”
“Drop the robe and get in the bed.”
She sits in this feeling with me as anticipation balloons. She doesn’t know what’s coming and can only guess. I know exactly what I want out of her, and I only have to wait to see it happen exactly as I dreamed it.
