[AegonAustin]

Nate was taken aback by the alpha’s sudden moves. Nate had never been kissed like that before. He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. But, luckily for him, his new husband seemed to know exactly what he was doing. Nate placed his tiny hands on the alpha’s hairy, muscly chest trying to keep his alpha at a distance - as if he ever had a chance. But, quickly, Nate began to give way to the passion as butterflies continued to fill his stomach. His alpha tasted so good on his lips. There was something about his taste and smell. He was dominant yet gentle. Rough yet passionate. Nate was experiencing emotions he’d never experienced before. His heart was racing and he was panting heavily. Maurice pulled away. “Don’t forget to breath, Nate. You have to start learning to breath during a kiss...for I intend to do that quite often - if you aren’t opposed to that.” Maurice said through chuckles as he ruffled the omega’s sandy blond hair.

Maurice pulled Nate closer to him and Nate rested his head on the alpha’s bulging chest. He could feel his alpha’s heartbeat. He didn’t understand why, but he felt so safe in his alpha’s arms. Nate’s quick, erratic pants slowed to a more calm and steady breathing as Maurice stroked the omega’s back and talked about his day-to-day life.

Nate’s eyelids were heavy. It was a combination of the champagne and the fact that Nate hadn’t had much sleep over the past few days with all that had been going on. But, it was more than just that. For the first time in a long time, Nate was at peace and truly felt safe. And he had no idea why.
