Lidell frowned. “Are you fucking him enough?”

Ned scoffed. He didn’t think he could fuck Ezer any more often. His balls would drop off.

“Okay,” Lidell said with a chuckle. “If you’re fucking him enough, what do you think’s wrong with him?”

Ned dismissed that with a wave of his hand. “What if there’s nothing wrong withhim? What if there’s something wrong with me and my semen?”

Lidell wrinkled his nose. “That’s not possible.”

“Why?”

“Because alphas don’t have problems with things like that. He must be unnaturally saturnine, just like his father said.”

“Maybe. Or maybe it’s not true that all it takes is plenty of alpha semen to calm an angry, pregnant omega. Maybe there’s more to it all than that.”

“Like what?”

Ned rolled his eyes. His father was clueless. After Ned’s omega parent had died, Lidell had never been close with an omega again. He’d shared heats, gotten his own needs met for a price, but he’d never looked at an omega as an equal, or considered that an omega might have needs outside of sex and children. Ned knew all that about his father, and yet it was still disappointing to have it confirmed.

“I’m not going to school today,” Ned said, standing up. “I’m going to stay for the doctor’s appointment. I’m going to be there for Ezer.”

“If you don’t trust your omega to let the doctor know the truth of what’s going on with him physically and emotionally, then you must, of course, supervise the appointment.”

Ned’s jaw clenched again. That wasn’t at all what he’d meant, but his father would never see it like that. “Call the school for me?”

“I’ll have Earl do it.”

“Thanks.”

Ned headed back down to the nest, irritation with his father flaring beneath his skin and threatening his mood. When he opened the door to the bedroom, Ezer sat, confusion on his face in the low light, and Ned’s heart almost exploded into starbursts of joy when Ezer’s face broke into a strange little smile.

Who cared what his father thought? It only mattered what Ezer needed.

“What about school?” Ezer said, opening his arms to welcome Ned back into the mess of their bed, embracing him. He rubbed his bare skin over Ned’s school uniform shirt and pants and nuzzled his neck.

“I want to be here for you.”

“You have to go back to school, though. It’s how it works…”

“Tomorrow. After the doctor’s appointment.”

Ezer stopped nuzzling and pulled away. “You don’t trust me?”

“I have some questions for him, too. About myself.”

“About you?”

Ned nodded, and tugged Ezer into a spooning position. He kissed the back of his neck and his shoulders, enjoying the way Ezer let him, and didn’t stop his hand from drifting down to take up Ezer’s hardening cock. “I’m not perfect. I know that.”

Ezer let the subject drop as the usual lust escalated between them.

Ned buried his face in Ezer’s hair, breathing in his scent as they fucked, and prayed that he would find a way to make Ezer happy one day.

And not just from the strength of his semen’s compounds.

Truly, honestly happy. Because he was Ned’s.

“I don’t likethis,” Ezer said faintly, as they waited for the doctor to come back into the room that had been prepared for the exam, complete with exam table. Ezer lay back on it now, legs in the stirrups, covered by the softest blanket he could find. “He’s going to put his hand in me?”
