Page 7 of Such a Delicious Omega (His Alpha Desires #4)

Echo

“So, now that we’ve gotten to know each other, I would like to invite you to be my guest tomorrow. I have to monitor tonight.”

“Oh? Is that something the other owners do too?”

“We fill in on occasion.” He nodded. “There is a special event this evening, with some guests from another club, and I volunteered to monitor because there will be some training for the people we employ in those roles.”

My stomach sank. He was going to the club without me? I was sure he had before and done things with other omegas but now? I shook off the thought before I had all the information. “What does monitoring entail?”

Because it would kind of shatter me if this alpha was doing kinky things with another omega, another anyone, actually.

Maybe my wolf was right. Perhaps Samuel was my mate. Being around him, well, I never wanted this night to end. I became anxious at just the thought of not being in his presence.

“Afraid I’m going to be playing tonight, Echo?”

Heat rushed to my cheeks, my neck, and everywhere else. “Maybe.”

He took my hands in his across the table and I let him. I so let him. His skin was warm against mine and I could feel the callouses that lined his palms. He was a hard worker. I could only imagine how those callouses would feel dragging a path over my softer skin. When I took his hand the first time, I was concerned about him, but this was pure sensation. “I’m not playing tonight. Ease yourself, little wolf. Monitoring is simply that. Making sure everyone follows the rules. Talon is the firemaster and he and his omega do displays on a fire table. It’s something to behold, but I will be in the corner, watching and keeping tabs on things. Cross my heart.”

I let out a long sigh of relief. This alpha was already under my skin.

“Do you… I mean, is the fire table something you’re into?”

Chuckling, he stood. “That’s another discussion that we can absolutely have in the club tomorrow night. I really do have to go even though I feel like I could spend hours talking to you. If I didn’t have another engagement, I would take you somewhere for dessert.”

Damn this monitoring gig. This alpha wanted to take me somewhere for dessert, and I didn’t think he meant ice cream—at all.

“Yeah, okay. Let me get a ride.”

I got on my phone while Samuel watched over my shoulder.

“May I have your number, omega?” he asked. Damn, that voice rolled over me, burying me in calm and serenity. I bet he could make an omega come with his sexy voice alone.

“Of course. Here.” I handed him my phone so he could message himself from mine and vice versa.

“There,” he said, handing it back. Our fingers touched, sparking electricity all throughout my body.

With every touch, my wolf was more and more sure. This alpha was my mate.

He waited with me until my ride drove up. “Will you text me once you get home safely, Echo? Please?”

The only thing I could do was nod.

“Good. Be safe.” He leaned over and kissed my cheek. My cock swelled instantly. If he hadn’t said he needed to get back to the club, I would’ve certainly gathered all my courage and asked him to join me.

“Thank you. Good night.”

“Echo,” he said as I got into the car. “After you tell me you’re safe, I’m going to give you some pointers for tomorrow night.”

“Pointers?” I choked out. Goddess, I would gladly take and obey any help or advice he gave me.

“Yes, omega. There are rules.” He winked. “You’re going to follow them, aren’t you?”

“Yes, Samuel.”

“I knew you would. And there’s paperwork to fill out for even guest admission. I’ll send you a link.”

“Good night, delicious omega. Until tomorrow.”
