Carter didn't stop talking about the university he wanted to apply to, whether he would have to move cities, the plans his father had drawn up for his future. Every topic he touched revolved around what was to come, but in none of those scenarios did Skylar seem to have a place.
Skylar listened attentively, without interrupting, striving not to miss a single detail of what he said. A good omega should always be attentive to the needs of his alpha. And if there was one thing that couldn't be denied, it was the unconditional devotion that Skylar showed. That dedication did not go unnoticed by Carter, who secretly enjoyed the admiration with which he was looked at. The young alpha's ego swelled with every longing look from the omega, with every gesture of affection and every trembling smile directed only at him.
"Carter…" Skylar murmured shyly, "The date on which we must formalize our engagement is approaching."
He scratched the corner of his lip nervously, his fingers trembling slightly.
"I look forward to that day. We can finally start living as a couple and… I'll wait for you, all the years of your career." A pure smile appeared on his lips, so luminous that for a moment Carter felt a pang in his chest.
But far from being touched, he frowned. The mere idea that Skylar would wait for him caused a void in his stomach, as if a shadow began to tighten around his neck. He didn't want ties. Not like that. Not now.
"Yes… about that… well, there's still a little while left, you know that, right?" he tried to sound light, as if the subject didn't bother him, but his eyes turned a dark red, revealing his discomfort.
"I'll wait for you as long as necessary, I love you Carter. I know my destiny is to always be by your side."
The sparkle in Skylar's eyes was almost blinding. Carter took him in his arms and kissed him, trying to extinguish the guilt that was born in his chest. The kiss was soft at first, almost mechanical, like a duty fulfilled, but when the omega wrapped his arms around his neck and slightly opened his mouth, allowing him to explore the inside, Carter let himself be dragged away.
His hands instinctively slid to the omega's narrow waist, trying to reach his skin under his shirt. Skylar flinched and separated abruptly, visibly altered.
Carter watched him in silence, with his lips still wet and his eyes narrowed. His hair slightly disheveled, his cheeks flushed, his breathing agitated... The omega looked deliciously vulnerable. Erotic, even.
"W-we can't..." Skylar whispered, not daring to look him directly in the eye.
"Yeah… I know. I'm sorry, I got carried away," replied the alpha with a hint of annoyance impossible to hide. He was annoyed with himself and with him. He wanted more. Much more.
Skylar watched him with concern. Then, without thinking much, he approached again and, in a low voice, whispered in his ear:
"When we're finally married... we can go all the way. I want that too… please, be patient."
His cheeks flushed even more. He gave him a fleeting kiss on the cheek and ran off, leaving Carter alone, confused and with a growing burning sensation on his skin.
The driver was waiting for him as usual. Skylar got into the car with his heart racing. He couldn't believe what he had just said, how he had dared. He liked Carter too much and it wasn't hard to imagine going all the way with him, his kisses and caresses transported him, enveloped him… But every time the situation became intense, his mother's face appeared like a shadow. Her strict and worried look was enough to freeze him completely. As if someone opened a window in the middle of winter.
Carter, still stunned by the confession and the omega's sudden flight, let out a low laugh.
"Little cheating omega," he murmured, without erasing the half-smile from his lips.
It was then that a female figure slowly emerged from the bushes. She had been watching from before, lurking like an opportunistic shadow.
"Looks like you've been left wanting more," said the honeyed voice of Rosaura, an omega with an intense look and a penetrating perfume.
Carter looked at her with a mixture of surprise and displeasure. He stood up, brushing the dust off his pants.
"I don't know what you think you saw, but nothing happened here," he spat, advancing without much interest.
But Rosaura was not willing to let him go so easily. With deliberate intention, she released her pheromones, flooding the air with a sweet and intoxicating scent of wildflowers.
Carter paused for a moment. He couldn't deny that the smell was exquisite. And Rosaura… was beautiful. She had a striking body and a confidence that did not go unnoticed.
"I knew you'd like them," she purred, approaching and gently touching his arm. "My pheromones are irresistible."
The alpha looked at her in silence. In other circumstances, he would have pushed her away. But there was something burning in him, a diffuse frustration, a disappointment with himself. Skylar made him feel confused, trapped between desire and guilt, between tenderness and repression. And now he had before him a willing, provocative omega, who offered him something clear, tangible.
"You're almost a grown alpha, you have needs, and Skylar… well, he's just a prude. He'll never understand what you really need," Rosaura whispered, in a deep, seductive voice. "Let's go to my house. My parents are never there, and I'll take care of the rest."
It was a direct invitation. Rosaura knew what she wanted. She had already had her first heat, unsupervised. Since then, something had awakened in her. Now she felt sure of her body and her intentions. She wanted Carter, and she knew that Skylar, with his reputation for purity and perfection, was vulnerable.
Carter hesitated for a moment. The right thing to do would be to cut everything off at the root. To say no. To clarify that he wasn't looking for that.
But Rosaura's voice, her scent, the pressure he felt inside, the image of Skylar running away from him...
The word came out before he could stop it.
"Let's go."
