Thomas’ pupils dilate. His tongue wets his lips. He seems to be struggling not to drop his gaze down my curves.
Satisfying.
He’s never seen me dressed up like this.
He looks primal and as close to being driven into rut, as I’d hoped by this outfit.
Too bad that it’s a waste of time now.
My head is reeling. I’m hot, sweaty, and dizzy.
I don’t know how I’m still standing, when my knees feel like buckling.
Fuck. My. Life.
For the last month, Thomas St Clair has been my sexturbation Alpha.
I bite my lip hard not to laugh hysterically.
Thomas’ expression becomes confused. “Miss West, are you okay? You don’t look well. Do you want to sit down?” When he stands up, I take an automatic step back. Cautiously, he sits down again. “What are you doing here? Are you alone? It’s not safe for unbonded Omegas to be in a bar like this. I’d chaperon you myself, but I’m…ehm, waiting for someone.”
He scans the bar.
He’s flustered.
It’s cute.
I mentally slap myself.
Bad Omega, no thinking that flustered deputy mayors are cute.
I can’t help studying Thomas, however, and being glad that he’s as nervous about meeting me, as I have been to see him for the first time.
He pats at his hair, checking it.
How long should I let Thomas go on not realizing that I’m Sweet Venom?
I could still leave.
But my heart clenches at the thought.
Thomas looks back at me like he’s as drawn to me as I am to him. “Miss West, if this is about what happened at the Dough Knot, then I’m sorry, but can you kick my ass some other time? I know that you don’t owe me anything, but tonight’s important to an Omega. This Omega needs my help. I want to make this experience special for her. I don’t think that she’s been treated well, so please don’t ruin this for her. I swear that I regret what happened, but tonight, I’m off duty for once. Now, who are you with? Or can I call someone?”
He places down his whiskey and reaches for his phone, which is laid on the table with the ABOinder app open.
I can just see my own pun about coming in contrast to the formal way that he’s talking to me now.
Yet my heart softens by the way that what he cares about is that this night is important to an Omega and making it special…for me.
He’s begging me not to ruin tonight for myself.
Wow.
I open my mouth and then shut it. I don’t know what to do.
Thomas has shown, however, that he’s the type of Alpha who’ll protect both versions of me.
That’s enough for me to give him a chance.
