All Chapters of Unwillingly Yours: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Monday morning saw Vernon bouncing down the stairs. The omega's shoes clicked against the polished floors as he walked towards the door, lower lip caught between his teeth."Aren't you going to have breakfast?" a voice came from behind him, causing him to pause.Vernon turned to see Xavier sitting at the dining table, a coffee in hand. The table was filled with different dishes that made his mouth slightly water.He shook his head. "I can eat something on the way—""Join me for breakfast," the alpha said, gaze imploring. "Please."The softness in his voice had Vernon pausing, the brutal rejection he wanted to give sitting heavy on his tongue. He swallowed it down. "Okay."That made a relieved smile break out on Xavier's face. "I made a lot this morning. You can choose whatever you want."Vernon wordlessly nodded and sat down, pulling out an empty plate. He dished out toast and omelette and began eating.They ate in comfortable silence."Is the food to your liking?" Xavier asked, putti

"Boss, don't you think you got too many foodstuffs?"Xavier rolled up his sleeves, not bothering to look at his bodyguard as he spoke. "I'm cooking much for dinner, James."James sighed, watching as the alpha tied on the apron. "But... this will be too much, and you won't be able to eat it all.""Don't worry about that," Xavier said, pulling out a knife. He gave him a small smile. "My husband is eating with me."James' brows rose in surprise. He knew of the marriage arrangement and how his boss had been sad over the cold treatment Vernon had been giving him.He looked away. "That's good, boss."Xavier pushed a bowl of onions towards him. "Chop these for me."James' eyes widened in horror and he took a wary step back. "Boss, I don't know... I have never cut anything in..." he stammered.He watched as the alpha walked towards the fridge. "Boss...""It's no different from chopping human bodies," Xavier said, bringing out frozen beef from the fridge.He placed it on the counter. "Only a li

Vernon slowly chewed his burger, savoring the taste of meat filling his mouth. He paused, raising a brow when he noticed Martha staring at him.“What?” he asked, swallowing. “Is there something on my face?”Martha sighed, propping her chin on her hand. “I can’t believe you ditched me last night.”Vernon exhaled softly. “I didn’t mean to. Something came up.”“I’m sorry.”She shrugged, leaning back in her chair. “Tell that to Adrian. He was so hurt that you left.”“He ended our night early.”The omega felt a twinge of guilt. “I didn’t mean to ruin your night. I just—”“Made sure I went to get drinks before you bailed on me,” a voice cut in from beside them, interrupting the conversation.Martha beamed. “Adrian! It’s good to see you.”“You too,” Adrian replied, his eyes fixed on Vernon. “Looks like the runaway is here too.”The sarcasm made Vernon bite his lip nervously. He lifted his head, meeting Adrian’s gaze.“Hi,” he said softly, giving a sheepish wave. “It’s… a really nice day.”Ma

"Are you going to talk about it or just stare at your drink all day?" Vernon inhaled sharply at his father's question. He squeezed a hand around his cup, watching the dark liquid intently like it could provide the answers.Marcus sighed. "You can always tell me anything, son."The omega nodded and met his gaze. "I know. It's just—" he broke off with a shrug, "I don't know what to say.""Or where to start from."His father smiled softly. "Start from what makes you comfortable."Vernon closed his eyes. "I messed up.""How?""With Xavier," the omega admitted. "He has been kind to me and I ruined it and now..."He looked at his father, eyes glistening with tears. "He won't even look at me anymore."Marcus stared at him quietly as he went on."He is a good husband," Vernon murmured. "Considerate and always respecting my boundaries and I took him for granted."He sniffed. "I'm the biggest fool and—""No," his father cut in sternly. "I would stop you right there before you start blaming you

The omega's eyes widened at Xavier's request. "What?" he gasped.The alpha tilted his head innocently. "Didn't you say you will do anything?"He pressed a thumb on Vernon's bottom lip, relishing the gasp he recieved in return. "Or... are you going back on your word?"Vernon's heart pounded as his husband continued to caress his lip. His body thrummed with an unfamiliar heat. "That's..."Xavier chuckled. "It seems you don't want to make it up to me after all."He pulled away, his face neutral. "You shouldn't make promises you can't keep. That's not—""No!" the omega murmured, stepping closer. Without the alpha's touch he felt bereft. "I want to...""Prove it," Xavier dared him. "Kiss me, sweetheart."Without preamble, Vernon pulled the alpha by the collar and kissed him. The angle was awkward as the omega had to stand on his toes to reach Xavier. He tried to move his lips but it was difficult and just exposed his inexperience.He pulled away, lips tingling. "I'm..."The alpha scoffed.
