His Dominant Omega (8 page)

Josef felt so happy he swore he bounced when he walked. He loved that Cole wanted to be Mr. Independent, but the man needed to go back to school. He had already decided to foot the bill for Cole’s schooling. They were mates, and Josef truly thought of his money as their money. Everything he owned he’d gladly share with his mate.

When they reached his truck he opened the door for Cole to climb inside. They talked all the way to Silver Creek about nothing and everything. It was like they had been together forever.

Cole reached over to grab his arm when he pulled up to the curb outside his apartment. “Can we keep the whole me moving in with you a secret. I don’t want my brothers to know just yet.”

“Okay.” Josef wasn’t hurt by this. He knew Cole hadn’t told his father he was gay, and his mate feared his father would unleash his wrath on them.

“Really, you’re not mad at me for being a coward?” Cole started to nibble on the corner of his bottom lip. Josef thought the gesture cute.

“No, I don’t. But keep in mind at some point we will have to tell them. It’s not good to keep secrets from the ones you love.”
“I agree, but I want to have this time to enjoy everything.” A smile lit up Cole’s face. “It’s also brand new and exciting. I want to ride the waves for a little longer before I have to crash back down to earth.”
“I’m down with that, baby.” Josef pressed a quick peck to Cole’s lips then hopped out of the truck.
He intertwined his hand with Cole’s. Josef just liked having even the briefest contact with the man. When they reached his apartment he let go and opened the front door.
Josh and Jake sat on the couch with their heads down looking at their phones. Their identical heads popped up when they stepped into the apartment.
“Hey, baby brother.” Josh jumped up and gave Cole a hug. “Josef.”
“Josh.” He nodded in Jake’s direction. “Jake.”
“So you two off already?” Cole asked.
“Yep. Father should be back tonight, and he’ll expect us to be there,” Jake answered. It looked like the idea of going back home didn’t thrill the two brothers. “You sure you don’t want to go with us?”
Josef’s head snapped in his mate’s direction. Was that even a choice?
“Uh no,” Cole answered. “If anything happens call me. Just because Father and I aren’t on speaking terms doesn’t mean I don’t care. It’s just…” Cole shook his head and gave a shrug.
“Don’t sweat it, little brother.” Josh pulled Cole into a hug. “We’ll come visit again.”
“You guys do that.”
“Josef, it was nice meeting you,” Josh said as he held his hand out for Josef to shake. Once Josh had his hand around his, the other man tightened his grip. It took Josef by surprise, but he didn’t let his shock show on his face. “Be good to our brother or we’ll find you.” There was a lethal promise in the man’s eyes that said he meant it.
“Josh!” Cole grumbled. “Stop that.”
Josef squeezed the hand in his harder. “I care a great deal for your brother.” And he meant those words wholeheartedly. “I’d never hurt him.”
Josh stared straight into his eyes, and Josef didn’t flinch away. These men loved their brother and just wanted to make sure he was being taken care of and would be safe.
Josh must have seen what he was looking for and smiled. “I believe you, just don’t prove me wrong.”
“I have no intentions of that.” Josef smiled and released Josh’s hand.
After a few more minutes, Josef, with Cole by his side, escorted the two men down to their car. As they drove off his mate stood there staring after them until they were out of sight. Josef didn’t like the lost look on his mate’s face. He laid a hand on Cole’s shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze.
“You going to be okay?” Josef asked.
Cole turned around and looped his arms around Josef’s waist. “Yeah, I just hate how they follow our father without question. Sometimes I fear he’ll get them killed.”
“Oh, baby.” Josef ran a hand up Cole’s neck to brush through his hair. “I’m sure your dad wouldn’t do anything to put them in danger.” Or at least Josef hoped not.

Cole knew he should tell his mate about the threats upon his family’s pack, but he himself didn’t have all the facts. This could all be a big misunderstanding that his father had blown out of proportion, and now his two brothers were left picking up the pieces. But Cole couldn’t say for sure because he left before these problems started.

“Hey, you okay?” Josef cupped the side of his face, and Cole nuzzled into the touch. “Looks like you’ve seen a ghost or something.”

“No, not a ghost, just my worrisome nature.” Cole smiled at his mate.
“Well I can help you take your mind off of things.” Josef’s hands fell to grip Cole’s ass. “If you want,” Josef said in a seductive voice.
He couldn’t help it. Cole began to laugh. His big strong mate was trying to seduce him, and it was cute. Josef batted his eyelashes and wiggled his hips closer to Cole’s. God, how he loved this man.
“What’s so funny?” Josef pouted.
“Nothing.” Cole shook his head as he tried to swallow his laughter. “I just love you so much.”
Cole was still giggling when Josef’s silence had him looking up at his mate’s shocked face.
“You love me?” Josef asked.
He didn’t mean to just blurt it out, but it was the honest truth. Cole loved Josef from the moment he laid eyes on him. There was no use denying it.
“Yeah, I do.” He ran the back of his knuckles along Josef’s jawline. “Does that scare you?”
“Fuck no,” Josef said with a smile. “I’ve seen my friends find their mates, and I never quite understood the whole love-at-first-sight thing, but after meeting you I could swear I’ve loved you forever. It’s like when we met it just awakened what was already there.”
Cole nodded his agreement. He liked the way Josef worded it. It was as if his life had been on hold until he met his mate. Josef filled him with such happiness and completeness Cole wasn’t sure how he survived before meeting the man. “I agree,” he simply said.
He opened wide when Josef dove back in for a hard kiss. Their tongues battled back and forth in the most sensual of ways. This man owned him heart and soul, and Cole never wanted to lose this feeling he felt right now. All his problems with his father and stress over his brothers’ safety seemed not as heavy on his shoulders because he had Josef at his side to help bear the load.

When they got back to the house with all his belongings from his apartment they sat down for a family dinner with Josef’s family. Afterward they all went for a run in the woods. It was fun to just run free and play with the others. Aiden, being the only human in the house, sat in a lounge chair and watched from the patio. When they came back from their run, Devon let out a series of barks and nudged his furry head in Aiden’s direction, and Cole could have sworn he saw the wolf grin.

They all took off and rushed toward Aiden. The human was caught off guard and screamed like a girl when they surrounded him. “You jerks, you made me spill my tea.”

Cole took in his surroundings. This was fun for him. No pressure to fit in. These men definitely marched to the beat of their own drum when it came to pack life. Hell they even had a white tiger in the pack, Shane.

He sat back on his haunches, not ready to shift back. The night was too serene to go back inside just yet. Josef came over to him and sat beside him. His mate’s fur was black as midnight. Just like the hair on his human head.

Josef nudged him in the shoulder with his snout, and Cole was held captive by his big brown eyes. They were so soft and inviting. Cole felt himself fall in love all over again.

“Well, guys, we’re calling it a night,” Devon called out. “My mate requires a little alone time if you know what I mean.” He winked.
“You are such an ass, you know that?” Aiden chided his mate.
“But, honey, we all know what happens after a hard run. Things get hard in the bedroom.”
Cole watched as Devon drew Aiden in for a kiss. He shouldn’t have been watching, but it was kind of hard to look away. He felt his cock twitch, and he had to agree with Devon’s assessment. Shifting did cause a yearning of sorts, and when a person had a mate they could expend all that energy with their lover.
Aiden waved a quick good-bye and let his mate lead him back into the house. Viktor and Shane didn’t bother shifting back, just ran through the front door and out of sight. The gray wolf, Erik, took off across the back yard and disappeared into the night. Skyler had left after dinner, so he didn’t partake in the run. So that just left him and Josef alone on the patio with nothing but the stars above them and mother nature surrounding them.
Cole looked up at the sky one last time then turned toward his mate. He licked his tongue across Josef’s nose. His mate gave him a wet kiss back then nodded his head toward the back door.
Shifting back, Cole strode in all his naked glory to the door, giving an extra sway of his hips with every step. He heard a low howl coming from his mate. He turned in time to see Josef shift into his human body. A look of pure lust lit up Josef’s face, and he took eager steps to reach Cole. Cole’s tongue snaked out to wet his lips as his eyes fell to the hard rod between Josef’s thighs. He suddenly felt very hungry.
“Bed, now,” Josef ordered. He pulled open the door, and Cole rushed through it.
He raced up the stairs with Josef at his back. When he reached the bedroom door he pushed it open and spun around to face his mate. Josef kicked the door shut and pulled Cole up into his arms. Cole brought his legs up to wrap around Josef’s waist, smashing his cock into Josef’s hard stomach.
“It’s my turn.” Josef’s words came out thick and gravelly. “I’m going to come inside this tight little ass of yours. I’ve been dying to feel you wrapped around me.”
“Yes, oh God, yes,” Cole panted as Josef kissed the breath out of his lungs.
Josef carried him to the bed and then plopped down with Cole trapped beneath him. Josef worked his way down Cole’s body, stopping to tease his nipples. He sucked and pulled at the pebbled peaks, and Cole arched off the bed, rubbing his cock into Josef’s warmth. Josef moved to his other nipple and sucked so hard Cole shouted at the pain-pleasure it caused.
“I’m going to love you so good,” Josef rasped against his skin.
“Stop talking and show me, please,” Cole begged. He loved topping, but he also wanted to feel what it was like to have Josef inside him. He’d never let another man have that pleasure before, and this was a gift he could give to his mate.
Josef reached over his body and grabbed the lube. Cole watched as his mate popped the cap and drizzled the liquid over his fingers. He pulled his knees up to his chest, exposing his hole for Josef. Josef traced his wet fingers down his crack, and Cole’s whole body tensed when a finger brushed over his pucker.
“Relax, lover,” Josef whispered against his lips, and Cole tried his best to calm his racing heart.
“Oh my God,” he shouted as one large finger eased inside him. The stretch burned, and his body clamped down on Josef’s finger. He gulped down breath after breath trying to relax his body.
“Shh, it’s okay, Cole.” Josef kissed him lightly on the lips. The more his mate kissed him, the more Cole’s body loosened up. “Damn, you’re so tight.”
Cole chuckled. “I hope so considering I’ve never done this before.” He grunted when another finger pushed in beside the first.
“Never?” Josef leaned up on an elbow to stare down at him.
“No. Not unless you count this morning when we were in the shower and you fingered me.”
“This might make me sound like a complete asshole, but I love that no one else has gotten to experience this part of you. Call me selfish, I don’t care.” Josef kissed him hard on the mouth. “But this turns me on like you wouldn’t fucking believe.”
“I’m glad.” Cole coasted his hands down Josef’s back, raking his fingernails as he went. When Cole reached Josef’s tight, hard ass, he curled his fingers into the solid muscle. “Now show me what I’ve been missing.”
It was like pulling a trigger on a gun. He unleashed a fire within his mate he didn’t want to rein back in. Josef ravished his mouth until Cole couldn’t breathe. His body broke out in a hot sweat, and he pulled Josef tighter to his body.
Josef’s fingers toyed inside his hole, every so often bumping against his pleasure button. It caused Cole to jerk and squirm with desire.
Finally after what felt like a lifetime, Josef pulled his fingers free and sat up. Cole looked down his body as Josef lined up his cock to his entrance. Josef looked up and met his hungry gaze then slowly pushed inside. Cole breathed through the initial pain but didn’t want his mate to stop. He needed this.
“God, you’re so tight,” Josef said when he was seated fully in Cole’s body. “It’s like you were custom fitted for my cock.”
Cole would have to agree. Josef’s thick, vein-covered cock fit perfectly in his tight sheath. His shaft rubbed all Cole’s secret spots he never knew existed before. He lifted his hips, urging Josef to move.
Slowly Josef pulled out and then pushed back inside. Cole could feel his body grip the hard length, trying to keep it inside him. With every in-and-out movement his body loosened more, and Cole rode the waves of pleasure it caused.
Josef leaned down and kissed his lips, and Cole turned his head away. “Don’t stop.” He reached between their sweat-slicked bodies and tugged on his throbbing cock.
“Never,” Josef growled as he plowed forward with a little more force.
As Josef’s thrusts picked up speed, Cole was pushed up the bed. He kept one hand on his dick, jerking for dear life and one gripping at Josef’s back. Cole’s eyes clenched tight as his orgasm engulfed his body. Sparks ignited in his balls and rushed out his cockhead. His cum shot out his body, smearing on his chest as Josef drove harder and faster into him.
Josef’s body stiffened, and Cole felt every pulse of his lover’s cock as he came deep into his body. Cole wrapped his arms and legs around Josef’s body and hugged him tight.
The new position put Josef’s shoulder even with his mouth. Cole let his teeth lengthen and struck deep into his mate’s flesh. Josef cried out then tucked his head close to Cole’s neck. And just like he’d done, Josef bit into him. Aftershocks quaked within his body, and he pulled harder on his mate.
Cole licked the mark on his mate’s shoulder and he could feel Josef doing the same. Josef rolled to the side but quickly pulled Cole over him, and Cole rested his head on his mate’s damp chest.
“That was awesome,” Cole said as he finally caught his breath.
“Thanks.” Josef laughed. “I do aim to please.”
“Well you did.” Cole sat up to hover over Josef’s body. “It was perfect.” He stared down into Josef’s eyes. “I love you.”
A smile drew across Josef’s face and he pulled Cole down to his chest. “I love you, too. Forever and ever.”
“Ever and ever.” Cole cuddled close to his mate, not wanting to let him go for even a minute. He yawned wide and settled in. Sleep had never come so easy before, and it was due to the man in his arms. Josef was more than his mate. He was Cole’s salvation. A promise for a better future.
