Parker's POV
"Maybe I should be released." I uttered calmly to him, he scoffed, refusing to grant my request not until Sergio walked in, giving him the order.
"His wolf is calm with me, you know we are best of friends."
"Take good care of him," he said and left. I breathed a sigh of relief, giggling with joy as I could finally enjoy the warmth breath of the man whom my heart beat for so much while cradling under his soothing hug.
"I missed you so much, Sergio."
He extended, dropping a kiss on my forehead. "I missed you more than you missed me."
We spent the next few minutes in silence, savoring the emotions budding in our chest towards each other, enjoying the way our wolves melted into each other.
"How's your heat period treating you?" He asked after a while.
I sighed. "Really painful, gloomy and sad. I've been indoors ever since and with you not being with me, it was total misery." I feigned a cry. It was my nature melting and displaying emotions before the man I love even as the Enigma and top in a relationship. As for Sergio, he would be my power bottom for sure.
"Come on, I'll take you out today. We can go strolling, to the gym or to the bar."
"Anyone you choose," he said, shrugging his shoulders.
After a moment of thought, I gave my choice. "The gym. I've been lying for too long, it would feel good exercising my body. Then we call it a day at the bar."
"What do you think?" I asked.
"Sure that would be great." Sergio smiled, patting my back. He waited for me to take my bath and dress up before escorting me out. On our way out, we met with my dad. He waved, smiled.
"Just taking your son out for a walk."
And we were off.
Sergio assisted me inside his car, he got in and off we went. We arrived at RIZ, one of the top gyms in the city which worked on manual payment rather than a membership card.
"I'll pay for you," he offered when I wanted to pay. "Take this as my treat for being absent for a week."
Exercising right beside my partner felt like cruising through paradise, the gradual stolen glances, rubbing of arms, gisting and laughter. The sweetest thing about it was us booking an exclusive room, a VIP with only us.
A kiss crowned the session before we took our baths, differently. Then we were off, heading to the bar.
"But—"
"What?" I snapped, arching my brows.
"What image will people see of us should we be seen at the bar?" Sergio asked, pushing me to think out of the box. What if we accidentally got drunk.
"You're right!" I accepted. "Let's have a drink at my apartment. I've got all the drinks and food we could ever get at the bar in my refrigerator."
For once, I was going to act the Alpha, the Top.
It mustn't always be him taking the lead afterall.
We returned back, and I took Sergio to the rooftop, decorated with a flower canopy, where we could sit and enjoy the quiet view of the massive garden down. Parts of the flowers had crept up, forming a canopy of nice-smelling flowers.
I brought out assorted drinks, then prepared steaks, roasted turkey and goat meat pepper soup. It was a favorite set of meals here in Nevada.
"I hope you'll love this?" I said as I dropped the large tray before us and proceeded to sit opposite Sergio. He blushed, giving a small dance.
"Whyyyyyy?" He dragged and before I knew had set on to eat before him. The smile broke off my lips. It was so adorable seeing him act himself before him. No act. No pretense. He was free with me. That spoke a lot.
We ate and drank, gisting into the early hours of the night until we were gradually wasting. Then the air became thicker, sight blurry. Sergio shifted his chair to my side, leaning on me before dropping his head on my lap.
Somewhere in between the drowsiness, I began to feel it. The pain, itches and that blissful sensation which came with a spark of my hormones.
"Sergio—" I tapped him.
"I think—"
"I think my heat is coming." I stammered. Of all time it chooses to come when I'm most vulnerable, while Sergio is in this state.
Maybe I just wanted to feel something.
Anything—
Besides pain.
"Really?" He groaned, rising up. "Maybe the moon goddess really wants us together." He muttered, staring deep into my face. I tried to pull back in respect to his earlier decision but he grabbed me.
"Maybe we don't have to deny ourselves this. We should do it." He said amidst gnashing of teeth, breathing heavily, releasing his pheromones which made me feel even more horny.
His hands found my face, cupping it gently. Mine wrapped around his waist. His body was warm against mine. My wolf was pacing now, restless and confused.
I broke the kiss for a second to breathe. "Sergio..."
"Don't," he said softly. "Just... let it be what it is."
And then he kissed me again. Harder. Deeper.
I felt his fingers pulling at my shirt, tugging it loose. I let him. My hands roamed his back, tracing the edges of the cross under his shirt. He moaned into my mouth, and the sound sent shivers down my spine.
We stumbled back, falling onto the couch. Our bodies pressed together. His lips were on my neck now. My hands gripped his hips. I felt my jeans tighten, and I knew he could feel it too.
My head spun, my body burning, and then...
He started undressing. First, his collar came off. Then his shirt buttons came undone, one by one, his eyes never leaving mine. I stared at him, frozen again. But this time, it wasn't grief holding me still.
It was a shock.
It was want.
It was confusion.
And he was right there, his shirt slipping off his shoulders.
