Epilogue

Alex

New Year's Eve

Standing in the hotel lobby, I turned when I heard someone call my name.

We had stepped out of the noisy, crowded ballroom, so that Seth could call his parents to check on Izzy. Since my fingers had been itching to dial my phone myself, relief had washed through me when he had said he needed to call and check on her.

As Seth had walked further into the lobby to get away from the noise, I had gone to the front desk to order a bottle of champagne to be sent up to our room. I wanted this night to be perfect, as I had an important question to ask my mate .

My eyes widened as I saw my ex, River, sashaying towards me, a drink in his hands and a gleam in his eyes.

He nibbled on the thin straw as he made his way over to me, somehow making the act look sensual. Still, it had no effect on me, but I plastered an indulgent smile on my face.

“River,” I acknowledged, then gave the hand he planted in the middle of my chest a pointed look. One he chose to blatantly ignore.

Instead of removing his hand, he trailed it further down my body. Catching his wrist firmly in mine, I pushed his arm away.

Adopting a sullen look, he pushed his bottom lip out in a pout I had once been unable to resist.

“Alex, don’t be like that. You can’t possibly still be mad.”

“I’m not mad,” I assured him. “Are you here alone?”

We were at the hotel Seth and I had met at, having bought their same New Year’s Eve package as the year before. With one exception.

This year I had upgraded massively, and booked the honeymoon penthouse suite we had stayed at on our baby moon. If things went according to plan, we would be celebrating something besides the new year in a few hours.

It also marked the first time we had been away from Izzy for any length of time. Even though we weren’t going to be gone that long, leaving her had been harder on both of us than we had expected.

River glanced over his shoulder at the double doors to the ballroom, shrugging.

“I came with a couple of single friends. We were hoping to meet some eligible alphas.” Turning back to me, he waved one hand in my direction. “And then poof, here you are.”

My grin broadened when I heard my mate growl, “What in the actual fuck! Mom, I’ve gotta go. Some little boytoy is getting handsy with my man.”

Shaking my head, I informed River, “I’m not here alone, and I am not eligible. Sorry.”

“Everything good with the baby?” I asked Seth, as he slid next to me, one arm sliding around my waist, while the other was planted firmly on my stomach, directly above my cock.

My mate was without a doubt staking his claim.

Seth smiled up at me, even as he watched River from the corner of his eyes.

“All good. The grandparents are playing swap the baby, even though we are only going to be gone for two nights. I think I know where she will be when we get home, but we might need to double check once we hit town. I got distracted by my alpha getting felt up by some rent boy and might have stopped listening.”

“Baby?” River asked, astonished. “You have a baby?”

Seth turned and gave River a thin-lipped smile, annoyance clear in his blue eyes. “Who the fuck are you and why are you touching my mate? ”

A laugh barked out of me before I could contain it. I did love it when Seth got all territorial. It didn’t happen often, but when it did I secretly preened a bit inside.

“Mate?” River exclaimed, his face falling.

“Seth, this is River,” I introduced them. “We used to date. River, my mate, Seth.”

“Oh, I’ve heard about you,” Seth raised one brow in what could only be perceived as a challenge. “The cheater.”

River’s face flushed brightly, as he stammered, “We weren’t exclusive!”

I wouldn’t have been surprised if he stamped his foot, but even his lie didn’t faze me. There was no point arguing with River about our relationship. It was a blip in my past, and nothing more.

“Well, one of you for sure wasn’t,” Seth said dryly.

“Yes,” I responded to River’s question, not bothering to argue with River about our relationship. “We have a daughter. She’s four months old and is every bit as pretty as her daddy.”

“If you’ll excuse us, this is our first kid free night since she was born, and I have plans for my alpha,” Seth gave me a wicked, heated look that had my blood sizzling and my cock waking up. “Let’s go up to the suite. I want to get you naked.”

River made some sort of strangled sound, but my attention was totally focused on my omega. “I thought you wanted to see if you could convince the D.J. to play some salsa.”

Seth pushed his body more firmly into mine and slid his hand up my chest. “I want to do something else now.”

“Yeah?” I whispered, getting lost in his eyes, the feel of his body next to mine, the scent of peaches on his skin.

The last few months had been a blur of sleepless nights, dirty diapers, and trying to manage a new baby while both of us worked full-time. We hadn’t had any alone time, and we needed a couple of days to reconnect.

“What do you have in mind, carino?”

Pulling my head down for a heated kiss, Seth whispered in my ear, “Alex, I want you to claim me. Tonight. Now.”

My mouth went dry as fire licked up my body, all my nerve endings tingled, and my fingers ached to get him naked.

Right this minute.

The sounds around us disappeared, and all I heard was my heartbeat loud in my ears, the sound of Seth’s harsh breathing, the desire shining in his eyes, and I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the elevators.

Someone huffed, making a squeaking sound, but I didn’t care who it was. River, most likely. My entire focus was on my mate.

The doors opened, and I waited impatiently while the car emptied of guests eager to ring in the new year.

My body hummed with lust, my fingers entwined tightly with Seth’s. I was hyper aware of every sound he made, the slightest flicker of his fingers against mine, the way his breathing was fast and harsh.

After an eternity, the car was empty and we were headed up to our suite. Seth slammed his hand on the emergency stop and the car jerked to a jarring halt.

“What?” I licked dry lips, watching in anticipation as Seth put a finger to my lips.

“No talking. Just feeling.”

He slid to his knees, and had my cock out of my pants before I could blink.

Bracing my arms on the sides of the car, I moaned loudly when he swallowed the head of my cock inside the sizzling warmth of his wet mouth. The sound of my voice sounded loud inside the small metal car, but I couldn’t be bothered to care.

Not when I looked down at Seth’s dark head bobbing on my dick. With each swallow, more of me slipped inside, until my tip hit the back of his throat and he gagged on me.

That sound, the sight of tears streaming down his face, streaking his eyeliner, shouldn’t be the turn on that it was. Instead of easing up, I flexed my hips, pushing deeply into his mouth and down his throat.

His hand stroked my length, as he sucked and slurped noisily, every few seconds choking on my cock, and my hips started a wild bucking that I couldn’t stop if either of our lives depended on it.

Seth’s blue eyes caught mine, black smeared under his eyes from his tears, his cheeks flushed rosy. He was a beautiful mess, and my hand tangled in his hair, holding his head still. I thrust hard once, twice, my balls heavy and aching.

Never looking away, Seth stroked me faster with his hand, his mouth sucked harder, and I was gone.

My cum exploded in his mouth as I let out a rumbly growl from deep in my chest, and Seth hummed in pleasure around my dick. The sensation set off another short spurt that left my limbs trembling.

Seth popped off my softening cock, swallowed the last of my cum, then swiped at a line that had dribbled down his chin with his thumb. He sucked his digit into his mouth, as I helped him stand, still trying to catch my breath.

Tucking myself back into my pants, he hit the button and the elevator restarted its climb upwards.

“Did we just have sex in an elevator?”

Seth gave me a saucy, unrepentant grin. “We did.”

The doors opened to our floor, and Seth grabbed my hand, pulling me with him as he practically ran to our suite .

My hands fumbled the keycard, until he took it from me, forcibly pushed me inside and slammed the door behind us with a loud bang.

“On the bed,” he ordered, and my cock twitched as his bossy tone.

“Bossy brat,” I muttered, though my hands were tossing my clothes off as fast as I could.

Seth winked, “You know it.”

Hooking my arm behind his neck, I devoured his mouth, tasting myself on his tongue. “My bossy brat.”

“Yes,” he breathed against my mouth, his warm hands roaming across my bare chest.

He gave me a small shove that didn’t even move me a quarter of an inch, and I raised my brows at him. He made a shooing motion at me and then the bed. “Get naked and on the bed.”

Doing as he asked–demanded–I made myself comfortable on the luxurious bed, settling my back against the headboard. I had been dreaming of this night for what felt like forever, claiming Seth as mine.

My body thrummed with anticipation of my teeth sinking into his mating gland, marking him as mine, for the world to see. I’d been waiting for him to be ready, and the wait had been worth it.

I watched with hungry eyes as Seth slowly did a sexy striptease, divesting himself of his silky pink top that shimmered whenever he moved.

He unzipped first one thigh high black boot, then the other, pulling each one off in a move any professional erotic dancer would be proud of. The tight leather mini-skirt followed, as well as the thin straps of material of the thong he wore.

He stretched his arms above his head, in a move reminiscent of our first night together, when he had danced in my hotel room.

Or the day at the pool just above us now, when he had been heavily pregnant, looking lush and sensual, and more beautiful than there were words to describe.
