Chapter Twenty-Two

Months had gone by in a flash—faster since Lennon had arrived. Between Lennon's marketing ideas and Salem's revamping the website and streamlining the payment system, we were busier than ever and had to purposefully block some time between bookings to give ourselves time to breathe.

Not a bad thing, not at all.

"We've put some warnings about the night temperatures on the website and a disclosure on the sign-ups," Lennon responded to my concerns over the plummeting temperatures of late. The days were fine. The nights? Not okay. Midwinter days in the desert were usually pleasant, but people rarely realized how cold it could get at night.

"And they still signed up?" I asked. We were having our morning meeting. Salem suggested it, and now we enjoyed getting together, sharing ideas, and team building instead of how Salem and I were before, more working by ourselves.

"They did."

"If that's it, I'm headed out." Salem had decided to spend some time in the city. He kept the details to himself, and I didn't press for more information. Lennon and I were looking forward to some solo time as well.

First on the list? Bring my omega to Billy's for a burger.

"Be safe." Lennon got up and hugged him before I did the same. "You'll be back before next week, right?"

Salem cocked his head. "You think I'd take a chance missing out on the birth of my niece or nephew?"

We waved at Salem as he left and then got into our own truck and drove into town. We shared burgers with fries for Lennon, onion rings for me. We drank to-go milkshakes while running a few errands and picking up supplies.

On the drive, Lennon unlaced his fingers from mine and placed his hand on my thigh. The radio station had gone out, and we were only a few minutes from home.

His hand gravitated to my groin. By the time I threw the truck into park, I was hard and ready.

The thing that sucked? There were cold and frozen groceries to put away.

Without words, we took care of business—the grocery part. I took care of the heavy things, of course. Lennon disappeared toward the bedroom as I finished up. As his pregnancy progressed, Lennon's appetite for me had tripled—and I was being conservative with that estimate.

It was my honor to provide for all his needs.

"Everything is put…" The words clogged in my throat as I took in the scene. Lennon was completely naked, sprawled out on our bed.

And he was stroking himself.

I'd never taken my clothes off faster. "You're so needy, aren't you, omega?" I said, not able to keep from squeezing my own length in response to seeing him. I climbed up on the bed. "Tell me what you need the most."

"I want your mouth wrapped around me, alpha. Please."

I knelt between his legs and enveloped him whole with my mouth. He lifted his hips, pushing himself in deeper until the bulbous tip pushed against the back of my throat. He bucked only a few times before hot ribbons of cum shot into my mouth.

"That was quick," I said, after letting him ride out the orgasm.

"I need more. I'm so damned needy. And…I've been wanting something new."

I crawled over him and placed a few kisses on his belly and then his mouth. "Have you been fantasizing, my love?" He nodded. "Tell me what you've been dreaming about."

"Last night I dreamed you spanked me. I really liked it."

"The thought has occurred to me. Do you want to try it?"

Instead of answering, Lennon turned, slowly, given his growing belly, and got on his hands and knees. My omega on his knees made me almost come from the sight.

"Tell me if I do something you don't like or you don't want me to continue, okay?"

We had been trying some new things. Some we liked; others we didn't. Secretly, I hoped he loved it. I wouldn't mind him spanking me either.

"First one, my love." I slapped my hand against his right ass cheek, making him yell out, "More!"

"Sure?" I asked.

"Yes, please. And harder."

I scooted closer, letting my cock slip between his slick folds while I slapped his ass again, harder at his command. Only a few more and he begged me to get inside him.

I pushed my cock deep inside him with one thrust, groaning at the warmth and tightness of him. Reaching around, I stroked his cock until we came at the same time.

"You liked that, didn't you?" I asked again, making sure this was a safe practice for us.

"I did. How would you feel about being on the receiving end, alpha?"
