"I don't have anything here," Kai said. "Pills are in my apartment. I wasn't due for another week. And you don't have"

"No."

"We're both primes," Kai said. "If we"

The sound Alex made was not the sound of a man who had just received bad news.

The wave of pheromones came without warning. Not ambient, targeted, deliberate, landing directly on Kai like a physical weight. His vision blurred. His muscles stopped taking instructions. When he came back to himself, Alex had three fingers working inside

    Then nothing.Then Kai swayed backward slowly, involuntary body taking over where resistance had been.Alex put a hand on his back and kept it there.They waited. The toy was designed to work like a real alpha, so the lock could hold anywhere from three minutes to ten. He hadn't checked before using it. He wasn't going to ask now. Kai could barely breathe, let alone answer questions."Don't go," Kai said anyway.Alex looked down at him. Even now, even like this still surprises him. "Not going anywhere."He meant it. Knotting, even artificial, was not the moment to leave someone. Pulling an alpha's presence mid-cycle would only confuse Kai's body further. It would hurt him.Alex didn't hurt Kai.He ran his hand slowly up and down the omega's back and waited while the cycle ran its course. Gradually, Kai's temperature started to drop. He shivered.The pile of clothes on the floor was out of reach. The nest wasn't an option to disturb. Alex made a decision.He lowered himself, slid unde

"If we"The sound Alex made was not the sound of a man who had just received bad news.The wave of pheromones came without warning. Not ambient, targeted, deliberate, landing directly on Kai like a physical weight. His vision blurred. His muscles stopped taking instructions. When he came back to himself, Alex had three fingers working inside him in slow, thorough strokes, and his own body was doing its best to keep them there."You're still telling me to stop," Alex said, "but the rest of you is being very clear about what it actually wants.""Stop" It came out wrecked. His hips moved backward on their own.Alex reached around. Kai's voice dissolved entirely."Tell me," Alex said quietly. No theatrics. Just the words, and the low certainty behind them. "Tell me what you want from me.""I can't say that.""Then we stay here."Fear a

    The door opened inward into dark space.He guided Kai through the entrance and stood at the threshold.If he went in, the plan changed. Kai didn't know who he was yet. Didn't know the name behind the face, or what it meant. Going in before that conversation happened wasn't something Alex could undo.He stood there for one long moment.Then Kai said, "I can call the alpha I was with. He'll come for me. Thank you for"Alex stepped inside. Let the door slam.The lock clicked shut.Kai stared at him.The studio wasn't a small kiln in the far corner, two worktables running through the center, a full row of pottery wheels against the left wall but Alex filled it differently than the space accounted for. His presence had always done that. Even when Kai was fifteen and Alex was just Marco's older brother who made people move out of hallways without asking."Alex?""Your heat is accelerating." Alex scanned the room without urgency. "You should handle the basics while you still have the coord

    His heart opened like a fist unclenching. All at once. No warning, no ramp-up. One moment he was standing in a drinks queue, and the next his entire body had made a unilateral decision that overrode everything else.Emma said something beside him. He didn't hear it.Across the marketplace, Alex's head lifted.Their eyes met for exactly one second.Kai ran.Alex hated this city when it was like this. Noise stacked on noise, strangers pressing too close, everyone performing cheerfulness for a parade that had started losing floats to the weather an hour ago.He had a headache. He'd had it since morning."You should announce yourself to Marcus," Gabriel said, stopping at a jewelry stall and picking up a bracelet without much interest. He paid for it anyway and pocketed it."The emperor already knows he's back," Felix said. "He always knows.""End of the week," Alex said. "I'll schedule something."Felix made a face. "You're giving us orders on our own planet now.""Technically it's everyo

    Marco sat down next to him, uninvited, and pulled a cookie from a paper bag. "You've checked your wrist five times since I got back. You're not even trying to hide it.""I sent Emma a text. That's it.""And?""And nothing." Kai tugged his collar up. His face was doing the thing it always did broadcasting everything while he said nothing. "Drop it."Marco ate the cookie in one go and chewed slowly, watching him. Then: "Alex is back."Kai's head turned before he could stop it.Marco grinned."When?" The word was already out. Kai pressed his lips together, too late."Found out at the party. He was actually there that night." Marco's grin faded into something less fun. "He's the one who texted me. Said you'd gone upstairs drunk and to go check on you."Kai sat with that. Alex had been in the same building. I had seen enough to get worried. And had still chosen to send Marco instead of walking up the stairs himself."His contract training ended," Marco continued. "He's probably on leave b

    One week left on the calendar.His heat wasn't due yet. Kai knew that. But knowing didn't explain why Emma's scent had stuck with him for two straight days or why his body had responded to it like something familiar instead of something to reject.He stared at her contact name on his multislate.I opened it.Empty thread.He typed fast, kept it short, sent it before his brain could interfere. Casual. Normal Fine.The screen went idle.A couple drifted past him holding warm drinks, cinna-cider from the smell of it. Sweet and spiced. Kai turned his head away before his brain could do anything stupid with it.One step at a time. A date first. Everything else later.Thunder groaned above the campus rooftops. The sky had been swallowing itself since morning grey eating blue, clouds stacking low and dark. Flood warnings. His parents had called twice. He'd let both ring out. Sitting in his room watching a wall was not an option. His wrist buzzed.He grabbed it.Package en route.He set it
