"Are you not going to eat them?" Ilyan asked, waiting for the omega to at least take a bite of the pastries he had brought for him.
Raniel hesitated for a moment before slowly reaching toward the cloth bundle. He broke off a small piece from one of the round golden pastries and cautiously shoved it into his mouth.
He had expected it to taste bitter or strange. Perhaps muddy, like some of the food he had been given before.
However, to his surprise, sweetness spread across his tongue. His eyes immediately brightened beneath the blindfold. The taste was completely foreign to him.
He had never eaten anything like this before.
Although Ilyan couldn't see the change in his expression because of the cloth covering the omega's eyes, he could tell that Raniel liked it.
The young man had barely finished chewing before reaching for another piece.
Then another.
And another.
The sight made a soft chuckle escape the alpha's lips.
