Chapter 21 First kiss

Third Person's POV 

When Aiden fell and was scooped into Thaddeus's lap, he thought he would die of embarrassment. It didn't help that when he pulled back and looked at Thaddeus, he saw amusement dancing on his face. It only made the Omega's face feel hotter, and he quickly hid in the Alpha's neck again. 

When the Alpha kissed his head, Aiden's stomach felt like it somersaulted. It caused a warmth to spread through his chest. No one had ever given him affection before. No one had ever hugged Aiden, let alone kissed him. The only things Aiden received were hate and pain. Since he's been here, he's received everything but hate and pain. 

Aiden takes a deep breath in, and the Alpha’s strong and dominant scent fills his nose. He smells incredible! Aiden presses his face closer to the Alpha's neck, loving this new feeling and being close to him like this. He loved feeling his arms wrapped around the Alpha, and he loved it even more that Thaddeus's arms were wrapped around him. The way his hands soothingly caressed his back was heavenly; he never wanted it to stop. The Alpha's arms felt like home. 

….

Winter was in heaven as he ran through the woods. He relished the feeling of the bare Earth under his paws and the wind blowing through his fur. The sound of nature was all around him—as if it was playing a melody just for him. 

Winter could smell so many different things in the forest, from the trees to the plants to the birds and a deer in the distance. The trees whipped past Winter as he raced through the forest. His body bent as he weaved in and out of the trees. His movements were smooth as he leapt over logs and small streams. 

Winter was enjoying himself so much that he didn't sense Zeus rapidly approaching from behind. The Omega's wolf's eyes widened, and he yelped as Zeus tackled him to the ground, and they tumbled. Winter and Aiden braced for the pain they knew was coming once they hit the ground, but it never came. Zeus turned as they fell and took the impact, his body becoming a soft cushion for his Omega once they hit. 

They rolled a short distance before coming to a stop. 

Winter got up with a huff, shaking his fur out, annoyed he was caught off guard. The big beast in front of him was the least bit offended and was still ready to play. Zeus nipped at Winter's tail, and the Omega wolf whipped around and nipped back. Unfortunately, Zeus was faster and quickly pinned Winter to the ground. The large beast plopped his body down onto Winter, and the Omega squirmed. 

Aiden swore Zeus had a grin on his face. The Alpha wolf was amused and happy that he caught his mate and pinned him. 

Winter huffed at Zeus, annoyed. 

Zeus began licking Winter's face, and the Omega wolf began squirming underneath him, trying to get Zeus off of him. Unfortunately, Winter's attempt was unsuccessful, so he began nipping at Zeus. This only caused the big beast to look down at him with his tongue hanging out. Aiden swears the darn thing is laughing at them. 

Once the big brute finally climbed off Winter, he nudged his head, signaling the Omega to follow him. Winter gave chase as soon as Zeus took off running. It wasn't long before they came to a clearing, and the Omega saw the river. 

Winter had never played in water before. The Omega wolf began jumping around, splashing in the water. As it splashed up, he bit at it. 

Zeus hung back and watched the Omega with amusement. After a few moments, he walked behind a tree and grabbed a bag of clothes. He walked back near the water and shifted. The Alpha quickly pulled his clothes on while Winter played in the water. After a few minutes, Winter happily trotted toward the Alpha. 

“Here, why don't you go shift and throw these on,” Thaddeus said as he held the clothes toward Winter's mouth. He carefully grabbed the clothes with his mouth before finding a tree to shift behind. 

After a few moments, Aiden appeared, wearing clothes similar to Thaddeus's. A pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt. 

Aiden sat down next to Thaddeus. The sound of the river rushing past them was loud and soothing. Aiden stared ahead for a few moments before looking at Thaddeus. The Omega has rarely seen the Alpha out of his wheelchair, except when he's sleeping. 

It seems so different sitting on the ground next to him like this. Aiden looks down at the Alpha's legs and how they are resting on the ground. It didn't seem very comfortable, but then again, he couldn't feel them. As Aiden looks at his legs, he realizes something else, the man does have tattoos covering almost his entire body. They cover the top of his feet and travel up his legs before disappearing under his shorts. Aiden has never seen so many tattoos, nor has he ever found them attractive until now. Aiden finds himself wanting to run his fingers along the tattoos. 

Aiden looks up and sees Thaddeus looking forward toward the river. He can't pull his eyes away from the Alpha. He's never found anyone so attractive, and he's never felt such a strong pull to someone before, like he does this man. Aiden tries to memorize every detail. His eyes find their way back to his neck, and he becomes mesmerized by the tattoo again. 

The urge to reach out and touch the tattoo is so strong that Aiden doesn't fight it this time. Aiden's hand rises out of his lap and slowly reaches up. His fingers lightly tremble as he reaches out for the tattoo.

Thaddeus's heart beats faster, pounding against his ribs, when he sees the Omega out of the corner of his eye. His breath hitched the moment Aiden's fingers lightly touched his skin. The Alpha's eyes slowly close, basking in the tender touch of his Omega. His touch was so light and delicate. Tingles danced along his neck, and goosebumps spread across his body. It was everything he thought it would be and more. 

Tingles dance along Aiden's fingertips as he lightly trails his finger along the tattoo. He traces the lines, allowing his fingertips to glide down the side of Thaddeus's neck and toward the Alpha's collarbone. The design along his throat was different. All the lines seem to meet near the center of his collarbone. 

Aiden was in such a trance that he didn't see the Alpha's hand reaching for him. Aiden's breath caught, and his stomach dropped when the Alpha gently grabbed his hand, stopping his movements and pulling his hand away from his throat. 

The Omega thought for certain Thaddeus was angry for touching him. He knew he shouldn't have done it. He was already scolding himself for allowing himself to do such a thing. 

Aiden was afraid of what the Alpha was going to do to him. As he considered all the ways the Alpha could punish him, his mind went blank when he realized the Alpha was bringing his hand to his mouth. Aiden's stomach fluttered when the Alpha's lips pressed against his palm just above his wrist. His heart beat faster when the Alpha turned his head and looked at him. 

Aiden's breaths were shallow, and his heart raced when Thaddeus leaned toward him. His breath stuttered when the Alpha's nose touched his nose. Aiden could feel the Alpha's warm breath on his lips. He couldn't take his eyes off of the Alpha's lips, which were so close to his. 

‘Is he going to kiss me? I've never been kissed before. What if I mess up? Wait, he wants to kiss me?’ Aiden's thoughts raced in his head but ceased when the Alpha's lips lightly brushed against his lips. The Omega's eye slowly closed as the Alpha closed the distance and pressed their lips firmly together. 

It was like an explosion going off in their bodies. Sparks and tingles ignited all over their bodies. The mate bond felt like it doubled, tugging at their hearts and pulling toward each other. 

Thaddeus sucked Aiden's bottom lip into his mouth and gently bit down, causing the Omega to gasp. The Alpha took advantage and slipped his tongue into the Omega's mouth.

Aiden felt like he died and went to heaven when he tasted Thaddeus's kiss. He felt the Alpha's tongue against his, slowly wrapping around his. Aiden followed the Alpha's lead, their lips moving as their tongues slowly danced.

Aiden melted into the kiss as Thaddeus's hand went to the back of his head, deepening the kiss. The Alpha's tongues seem to explore his mouth, searching every crevice. A moan slipped past the Omega's lips, and the Alpha swallowed it down. Aiden reached up, and his hand went to the back of Thaddeus's head. His fingers weaved through his hair and gripped it. 

The Omega had never experienced anything like this kiss in his life, and the feelings going through his body were all new. The Alpha's mouth was uncharted territory, and Aiden wanted to explore it further. 

The Omega struggled for the upper hand and lost to the Alpha's dominant tongue. Thaddeus's tongue explored his mouth like it was exploring his prize. 

When the kiss finally ended, the Omega was dazed and breathless. He felt light as Thaddeus rested their foreheads together. 

The Alpha's hand slid from the back of his head and gently cupped his cheek. Thaddeus pulled back just far enough to look the Omega in the eyes. His eyes searched the Omega's eyes. Aiden felt as though he was searching his soul. 

“I've been wanting to do that for so long,” Thaddeus's deep voice was rough as he spoke, his thumb caressing Aiden's lips as he looked at them. He loved how red and swollen they looked and could still feel them against his lips. 

Aiden isn't sure where the confidence came from. All he knew is that he wanted more of Thaddeus. That kiss woke something in him and he needed more. 

Aiden took the Alpha by surprise and crashed their lips together. Thaddeus's eyes widened before slowly closing.  His mouth opened as the Omega's tongue demanded entry. 

Aiden's body began to move on its own as he moved forward, climbing into Thaddeus's lap and straddling him, never breaking the kiss. 

An unfamiliar sensation began to build in the Omega's body. A heat formed in his chest and pooled in his stomach. The kiss was hungry and sloppy. Teeth clanked as lips pressed together and tongues fought in a delicate battle. 

The Omega's hands roamed the Alpha's chest, sliding over his collarbone. His left hand went to the back of Thaddeus's head as his right gripped his large muscular shoulder.

Thaddeus's arms wrapped around the Omega's waist, and his hand slipped under Aiden's shirt, wanting to feel more of his skin. Goosebumps spread along the Omega's body as Thaddeus's hand caressed his back.

Aiden felt an unfamiliar sensation in his pants. He felt himself throbbing. He felt a need but was unsure what he needed.

The Omega rocked his hips, searching for friction to help this new sensation. Aiden moaned into Thaddeus's mouth when he pressed his hard length against Thaddeus's stomach. 

Aiden gripped Thaddeus's hair harder and tugged on it, earning a growl that sent a shiver down his back. 

Aiden's hips moved, rocking and rolling against Thaddeus. The Alpha struggled for control. He felt how hard the Omega was and smelled his sweet scent. It was driving the Alpha wild.

Their tongues continued to dance as Aiden rocked his hips. Thaddeus's hands moved to the Omega's hips and gripped them, preventing the Omega from rocking his hips. 

The Omega couldn't get enough of Thaddeus. He wanted more. He wanted to feel every inch of Thaddeus, and he wanted the Alpha to touch him. The Omega desperately tried to move his hips, to grind against the Alpha, but his tight grip on his hips wasn't allowing it. The Omega whimpered with need, but froze when he became aware of something… Something very large and very hard was pressing against his ass. 

Aiden's eyes shoot open as the Alpha sucks his lip into his mouth, sucking on it for a moment before releasing it. Aiden blinks his wide eyes as his cheeks heat up.
