Talk About… Rivalry (Rockwood Valley Omegaverse #2)

I t was clear to me that this omega was complicated. Generally, I didn’t dip my toes in the pool of drama but I couldn’t resist offering her an out.

The way she looked utterly defeated when that alpha accepted the date meant that there was something going on here that she wasn’t ready to admit.

As we walked back to my room at the inn I couldn’t help but think that she was gorgeous. Everything about her look tonight was understated, which was nice compared to the overly made-up patrons we’d just left behind. Her makeup was subtle but made her gorgeous, green eyes pop, her outfit fit her curves perfectly, and she looked comfortable in her skin.

She didn’t say anything as we walked and I didn’t push it, I simply let my hand linger on her lower back, offering reassuring touches that I hoped pulled her out of her head by the time we got to my room.

I had a hunch that this omega was full of fire, even if it wasn’t burning bright at the moment.

Wearing scent blockers was an odd choice for an omega night if she was looking for a pack or date, but it was fine by me. I didn’t need her scent to enjoy her company for an evening.

The moment the door closed behind us, she turned to me with an almost feral look in her eyes. She was intent on forgetting, and I was the perfect person to make that happen.

The no strings was an added bonus. We’d have a night full of orgasms and sex, then the next morning we could part ways.

Sidney let out a growl before she lunged at me. I caught her easily, letting her legs wrap around my waist before I pushed her against the door. Her mouth descended on mine, aiming to take control... but that was hardly my style.

Instead we fought for control, each one taking the kiss deeper or nipping at the other. It was a clash, a battle, one where we both would be the victor.

Her lack of scent was disconcerting at first, but I liked the fact I could focus on her taste and sighs, not just drown in her completely.

She pulled away from my mouth to nip along my jawline. While she did that I tore off my glasses and tossed them toward the table, unwilling to take my attention off of the omega attacking me at the moment. Fuck, she felt amazing against me, soft but strong, fierce and fiery. My cock was so hard it was throbbing, my knot begging to inflate.

I let her go for a moment, reveling in the feel of her teeth and hot mouth teasing over my skin, sucking hard enough I knew she’d leave her mark.

Did it satisfy me to know that tomorrow, that asshole would see them on me? Oh, absolutely.

Then, I couldn’t hold back. My alpha pushed at the edges, forcing me to move from the door to toss her on the bed. Her pouty lips formed a surprised ‘o’ as she hit the fluffy blanket. My lips curled into a smirk as I looked down at her, not breaking eye contact as I loosened my tie. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly, her eyes unable to move from mine as if I had her full attention.

Until I reached my belt. Then they snapped down, waiting to see what I was about to unwrap for her. I stepped back enough to give her a better view, taking my time as I tossed aside my shirt, then belt, then finally dropped my pants and boxers in one move.

She let out a small, needy whine as she took in my cock. I was hard and long, my ring lined fingers stroking it slowly. Fuck, my alpha was losing control with the way she watched me, her pink tongue darting out to wet her lips in anticipation.

I let her drink me in for several more beats before I moved. She startled slightly but I used her gasp to my advantage, one hand tightening in her hair, tilting her head back, before I devoured her this time. My kisses weren’t gentle, they were hungry, my control had finally snapped.

And fuck, this omega was responsive. Her soft cries turned into pleading babble as I slowly peeled off every layer of clothing she had.

“Any restrictions for me, Sidney? Because, if not, I’m going to taste every fucking inch of you.”

“No, just use a condom,” she pleaded, eyes almost hazy, she was so turned on.

“That I can do,” I promised. I didn’t make it a habit of fucking random omegas without one and I wasn’t going to start now. Though, as I revealed her glistening pussy, I was fucking tempted.

No scent filled the air, but she was wet with slick and I just had a feeling she would taste divine. I dove between those gorgeous bronze thighs, licking my tongue over her to get a taste. She was sweet as honey with a fruity mix that made my head spin.

Once I started, I couldn’t pull away. I lapped and sucked at her needy cunt, groaning at her taste as my cock ached angrily with every second that passed. Even in my fog of lust I could hear her cries, read her body to know what she liked and give her more of it. When her legs clamped on my head, I doubled down, sucking hard on her clit and sliding two fingers into her, demanding she give me her release.

Her cries turned into screams as I tongue fucked her through the first, drinking her down like one of our fine wines and not stopping until she’d given me two more.

I chuckled lightly when I pulled away to take in her dazed, boneless form. Her hands were clutching the sheets, eyes bleary and a cute smile on her lips.

“Damn,” she managed to choke out. “If you fuck as good as you eat pussy, this will be a memory to last me for years.”

That was a challenge if I ever heard one.

“On your hands and knees, omega,” I demanded. My voice was rough now, full of gravel. She shivered but flipped over for me, pushing her face into the mattress and presenting for me like a good, little omega.

It was my turn to groan at the sight. She was letting go completely, no signs of her earlier distress in sight.

I just hoped she didn’t regret me in the morning.

She let out soft pleas as I moved behind her, siding on the condom and running the head of my cock over her wet slit, gathering her slick before pushing inside. I was big so I took it slow, filling her inch by inch until she was panting and begging openly now.

“Alpha, please, fuck me, I can’t take it,” she whimpered, shoving back against me as she spoke. My fingers dug into her hips as I lifted her up and pulled back, just to slam forward again. She loved it hard and fast if her sounds were any indication. The more I consumed her, the more she begged for.

This gorgeous omega was insatiable.

I was so turned on that my knot started to grow almost the moment I sunk inside her wet heat. Now it was pushing her further. She took me easily, there was no whining or begging me to stop like I’d had before. No, Sidney took me as if she were made for me.

Again, I couldn’t help but wonder about her scent. I wanted the full picture of this omega and maybe part of me was curious that there was more going on here, that she wasn’t just a good fit, but the perfect fit.

My body tensed as my own release pushed through me in a violent wave, making my hands shake and my muscles tighten painfully. It started low in my stomach before sinking through my veins and dropping right to my balls. This wasn’t a build up—but an all out assault on my senses.

I barely remembered to bring her with me, reaching around and teasing her slick-covered clit until she was exploding on me, her pussy clenching around me as her cries filled the air. For a brief second, right as I filled the condom with my own release, I caught something.

The scent was so quick and subtle, a brief burst before it was gone again, but it was potent .

A burst of fresh mountain air, a hint of earthy moss, the floral sweet notes of jasmine, and finishing with rich, woody and fruity scent of fig.

My pulse pounded harder and my alpha lurched forward, demanding a deeper breath, but there was no more of the gorgeous scent to be found.

There was one thing I knew for sure, and that was: this omega was mine.

This was not going to be a one and done connection like I thought.

Sidney passed out nearly the moment my knot deflated, but I couldn’t follow despite the exhaustion that lingered at the edges of my vision. My eyes were locked on the brunette goddess in my bed.

I leaned in, knowing damn well it was creepy, and ran my neck over her shoulder and neck, down her spine, then pulling away.

There was nothing.

Was I mistaken?

It was such a strange thing, the first I’d encountered and I was not a stranger to hooking up like this.

My mind was a mess with possibilities as I disposed of the condom. As I threw it away I was hit with the scent again, clinging to the rubber. As it dropped into the trash can I knew that this was it.

I found a mate.

But if she was, why hadn’t she reacted to my own scent? Even at the bar, sitting side by side and walking home shoulder to shoulder, she gave nothing away.

Either this omega was a very good actress, we weren’t actually matches, or there was something more going on here.

As her soft, sleepy sighs filled the air, I grabbed my phone and searched the possibilities of an omega not having her own scent or being able to scent her mates.

There were a few random articles about the impossibly low percentage of cases of that happening, and generally it was reversed eventually, triggered during heat or while knotting a mate.

Could that be the case? Was it a mix of her stressful night and letting go with me, coming on my knot, that triggered a burst of her own hidden perfume?

I scrubbed a hand over my face. Fuck, I was overthinking this. She was right there, scentless, even after all that.

Most blockers would have worn off by now to some degree. Or they would by morning.

Right?

All I had to do was wait it out. To sleep next to her and wake up to breathe her in, confirm that something was off.

Hell, I could be a proper alpha and simply ask her but if she truly did have no scent, I knew damn well it would be a sensitive topic.

Fuck, this was going from something uncomplicated, to strings being very much attached.

Was I even ready for that?

It seemed fate didn’t care if I was or not.
