ROSCO

“Cord… I don’t know what to say.”

“Actually you don’t need to say anything to me.

The two of you need to work this out on your own.

This only works if you two remain together.

And Avery tells me I can’t actually force you to do that, so you’ll have to make your own decisions.

I thought that was bullshit, but he was pretty adamant about it. ” Cord shrugged.

I had a feeling he was enjoying himself way too much.

I looked at Ori, really looked at him for the first time since coming into the office.

The last I had seen him, he was being pulled away from me and taken someplace unknown.

But he didn’t look like a man who had been tortured or questioned in any way.

And how had he hacked the system without access to anything?

“You two go and talk this over. Although, I have a pretty good idea of how it will go.” He chuckled softly, and Avery lightly smacked his chest.

“There’s nothing to discuss.” I squeezed Ori’s hand and held his gaze. “We’ll take the deal. Ori and I will work for you, for the family. As long as you’ll have us.”

Cord nodded and didn’t seem the least bit surprised. “Perfect. Well, he has his first task already, and I’m sure you guys have a lot to discuss. And I’m exhausted. Torturing my head of security is hard work.”

“Oh, poor baby. Do you need a massage?” Avery trailed a hand down Cord’s face as the two of them stared at each other with stars in their eyes.

Cord leaned into his mate. “Yes, my love. I do.”

I knew a dismissal was coming, so I got to my feet without letting go of Ori’s hand. We left the office and went back to my rooms. The house was quiet because most of the staff had likely been sent away while all this was going down. One of our first rules was as few witnesses as possible .

Once we were in my room, Ori gripped my arms. “I’m sorry. So fucking sorry, Rosco. I?—”

I put a hand over his mouth to stop him. There was so much to be said as I pulled Ori into my arms, but the words that came out seemed to be the only ones that mattered. “I love you.” My mouth fused with his until the need for oxygen was so intense we had to pull away. “So fucking much.”

My omega sucked in a deep breath as he nodded through a stream of tears. “I love you too, Rosco. Alpha. My alpha. I’m so fucking sorry.”

Fuck, that sounded good.

I kissed him again, this time pressing him against my body as if I actually could merge with him and become a single being. My palms covered his back and began to wander, one sliding down to his ass while the other slipped up to his neck, keeping him in place.

Keeping him safe.

Keeping him forever.

The passion between us notched up as our loving embrace quickly turned into a desperate need to get closer. “I need you, alpha.” Ori’s hips rocked, pressing his hard cock against mine .

There was no mistaking the sincerity of his words when his scent changed to that of a needy omega. My fingers slipped under his waistband, sliding through his slick and toying with his hungry hole. “You need my knot, omega? You need my seed in your womb?”

“Fuck, yes.” A full-body tremor rocked through him as he made quick work of his pants and shorts.

It was just an hour ago that I’d feared the worst had happened. Feared that Ori had been permanently taken from me. But he was here in the flesh, and I was never letting him go.

As soon as he was bare, I flipped him around, and Ori was on all fours on my bed. Slick dripped down his thighs as his tight little hole stared at me, begging me to fill it. “You’re so beautiful.”

He moaned and reached for his dick. “Admire me later. Now’s the time to fuck me.”

I smirked as I kneaded his ass and admired the view for another moment. My omega was impatient as fuck, and I was here for it. I’d always be there for it. There for him. “This is gonna be rough, sweetheart. I spent a lot of today thinking I’d lost you. Tell me if it’s too much. ”

He reached back and pulled one cheek apart. “It won’t be too much, Rosco. I want to feel it. I wanna feel you in my throat.”

Who was I to deny him anything? “Brace yourself, baby.” As promised, I proceeded to rail his sweet ass, fucking him like it was our first, best, and last time all in one. “We’re gonna be here all night.”

The room was filled with sounds of sex and skin and breaths that made me feel alive. I’d spent my whole life ignoring my own needs so I could take care of my employers, but I didn’t need to do that now. There were no more secrets.

I knew who Orlando was, and I loved him anyway.

And he knew who I was…and still saved me.

Being inside him was just the physical manifestation of the deep feelings I had for him.

My life finally had meaning and purpose and…

hope. Hope for the kind of happiness Cord and Andro had.

The kind of love and support that all the men I worked for had been finding.

The kind of love I didn’t think would ever be a possibility for me.

I pumped harder, crashing into Ori and nailing his prostate with each thrust .

“I’m close.” He pressed his head to the mattress and deepened the angle as his hand pumped even faster.

“Fuck, baby. Me too.” I gripped his hips and moved faster, pushing us both over the precipice of pleasure until we were a panting, sweaty mess in the center of my bed.

My knot expanded, holding in all the cream I’d deposited into my omega to stake my claim. He was mine. With both my arms wrapped around his chest, I carefully shifted our weight so we were spooning. “You feel okay, Ori?”

He nodded and sighed contentedly. “Perfect.” He pulled on my arms, tightening them around his chest. “But we’re not done. I want repeats of that all night.”

I chuckled and kissed his neck. “You won’t hear any arguments from me.” I splayed my palm over his belly and gently pressed it. “Your scent is changing.”

Ori was quiet for a moment before he nodded against my shoulder. “Yeah, I’ve noticed too. Avery gave me a test to take…but I wanted to wait until I was with you.”

My smile was instant, mostly because I needed to know he was okay with this development. “So…you’re ok ay with it? Being pregnant, I mean?” I didn’t need a test to tell me what my nose already knew.

Ori craned his neck so he could see me. “Yeah. Are you?”

When the angle wasn’t enough, I lifted up onto my elbow so I could meet his gaze. “Better than okay.” I kissed his cheek and was surprised to taste fresh tears there. “Happy. Proud. Shocked. All of the above.”

My omega chuckled and lay back down on the pillow. “I’ll take ‘all of the above’ as long as it comes with a generous helping of ‘for the rest of our lives.’”

I smirked and felt a different kind of knot form in my throat. “Based on the deal we’ve made with Cord, I don’t think we get a choice.”

Ori groaned and buried his face against my arm. “I’m so sorry, Rosco. I fucked up. I ruined the trust you had in me, and what’s worse, I ruined the trust between you and Cord.”

I held him tighter. “Shh. I’m not so sure about that.

Yes, things will be strained and it will take time for us to find our footing in the organization.

I might get left out of some discussions I used to be a part of.

Hell, I might even be demoted completely.

But as long as I have you, I don’t care about any of that.

How do you feel about your new role? I agreed to it without asking you. ”

“A job doing the thing I enjoy most in the world? It won’t be a hardship. And I get to be with you, Rosco.” Ori’s lips brushed over my skin and sent shudders down my spine. “I don’t deserve you.”

“You do. You deserve everything, and I intend to give it to you.”

“I’ll find a way to fix this. I will. I know how much your job means to you.”

I kissed his temple, shushing him again. “I know you do. But know this. As much as my job is my life—you mean more. More than I ever dreamed of. More than I hoped for. And more than I’ve ever deserved. I’d give it all up for you and our child.”

A lone tear slipped down Ori’s cheek. “I love you, alpha.”

“I love you.”
