The Bachelor: Beta Edition, A Gay Romance (Book 2) (Win an Alpha) (3 page)

“Hungry?” Kris asked.

“A little,” Will admitted.

“We’ll stop by one of my favorite diners.” Kris drove up to the roadside diner and killed the engine after parking his ride by the dirt lot. Will dismounted, gazing at the old-fashioned diner with curiosity. When Will’s stomach growled, Kris chuckled.

“The food smells good,” Will told him.

Kris gave the back of his neck a squeeze, loving Will’s shudder. “Come on, baby.”

He led Will into the diner.  Will’s eyes went wide when Kris ordered his usual—a meal enough for three men.

“Aren’t you worried about getting fat?” Will asked.

Grinning sheepishly at his mate, Kris lifted his shirt to show Will his abs. Will licked his lips. God. Kris couldn’t get enough of Will’s reactions. Will had this special something about him, like he wouldn’t hide his emotions. Kris liked that, because he had enough of liars and cheats who’d do anything to get the attention of his dick.

“We aren’t sharing?” Will asked while the waitress patiently waited.

“Believe me, cutie pie. This road warrior can eat his fill,” Betsy, the same waitress who’d served Kris for a decade, said.

“Oh. Fish and chips then, and an apple pie a la mode, please.”

“Aren’t you a treat?” Betsy beamed, before rounding her well-robust figure on Kris. “You better take care of this one good, Kris.”

“Don’t worry, sexy lady. Will and I are in it for the long road. He’s the mate I’ve been searching for all my life.”

Betsy let out an unexpected squeal and hugged him. She regarded a stunned-looking Will. “I’ve been worried about this boy for the longest time. I’m glad he found you.”

“I hope I won’t disappoint,” Will said lightly, although Kris could sense his nervousness.

Betsy straightened her uniform, gave Will a pat on the hand and said she’ll be right back.

“You come here often?” Will asked.

“I don’t usually do repeats being on the road so much, but this is one place I’d make an exception for.”

“You’ve been on the road long then?”

Kris was happy to answer Will’s questions and reassure him he was changing his wild lifestyle, well, altering it now that Will was with him. He asked Will questions too and after listening to his pup talk, he realized why Will was so insecure.

“Well, that explains everything.”

“What?” Will blinked.

“Those Alphas your pack matched you with? They’re clueless idiots who didn’t know what kind of gift landed on their laps.”

Will’s face practically turned crimson. The Omega looked relieved when Betsy came back with their food. Will didn’t seem used to praises. Grinning, Kris mused he’d change that. By tonight, he’d lure the wild and sexy beast lurking inside Will out to the open.

“Let’s dig in,” Kris said.

It was a pleasure, watching the Omega eat.

Noticing his stare, Will swallowed a chunk of his apple pie and ice cream. Damn. Kris could imagine licking away something sweet and sticky off his fine pup.

“What?” Will asked.

“Nothing. I like a pup with appetite.”

Will coughed, reaching for his soda. “You do?”

Kris frowned. “Is that so surprising?”

“Well, it’s just…back at the pack house, the elders always tell us Omegas it’s important to be on a healthy diet so we won’t look displeasing to the eye of a potential Alpha.”

Kris snorted. “Bullshit, pup. You’re mighty fine the way you are.”

“W-why do you keep saying words that catch me off-guard?”

“Why not? It’s the truth.”

“Only you say that.”

“Do the opinions of others matter?”

Will bit down on his bottom lip. “I guess not. It’s just, I’m so new to all this. I don’t want to disappoint you. I mean, I still can’t believe you picked me.”

Rising from his seat, Kris yanked a fistful of Will’s shirt and kissed him again. It looked like his pup needed reminding he belonged to Kris now and he was fucking treasured.

Kris pried Will’s lips open and Will let him deepen the kiss. The distinctive taste of Will, mixed with apple and vanilla, coursed down his throat. Yummy.

When Kris pulled away, Will was panting, looking at him with needy eyes. Fuck, but those quivering lips drove Kris insane. He needed to have Will soon, and make Will his so no idiot would dare hit on Will again. Kris wanted the world to know Will was his and his alone.

“Well, believe it, baby. Hurry up and finish. I can’t wait to have you.” Kris released him. They quickly finished eating. Kris promised Betsy they’d come by again, before leading Will back to his bike. He wanted to show Will the beautiful countryside of Destiny Falls, one of his favorite small towns. It was quiet here, a place where folks knew each other by name, and the perfect place to build a family.

“Oh, Kris. It’s beautiful here.”

And it could be our home,
but Kris wouldn’t tell Will that yet. He couldn’t afford to scare off his mate just after he’d found him. It didn’t matter. They’d take this, step-by-step because this was all new to Kris too and he was fucking terrified of losing what he never had.

“You ready, baby?”

“Yes, Kris. I’m ready.”

Chapter Four

The Peach Cobbler Inn was located at the outskirts of Destiny Falls, according to Kris. Will wrapped his arms tighter around the Beta, breathing in Kris’ scent. This entire thing still felt like a surreal dream, one Will didn’t want to wake up from.

“How are you feeling, baby?” Kris asked.

Will told him the truth. “Happy.”

Damn it. He liked it when Kris called him ‘pup’ or ‘baby’. Will felt loved and no one had ever given him a term of endearment before. Kris drove the bike up a hill and turned into a property surrounded by gardens and hedges. It felt like they had just stepped into a kind of fantasy world. After parking the bike alongside respectable vehicles, they walked into the Peach Cobbler.

Will curled his arm around Kris’. The Beta didn’t seem to mind. At the moment, Will couldn’t care less if the inn threw them out, because he could have died happy in Kris’ arms. They could go anywhere and do everything they wanted and no one would stop them. No one threw them out.

The elderly woman manning reception beamed at the sight of them. “Do you have a reservation?”

“We’re walk-ins. Do you have a room available, ma’am?” Kris asked.

“’Ma’am’? Oh my. Let me check my computer, although I’m pretty sure we have plenty.”

Kris could be a charmer too, Will realized. In minutes, the woman registered them and had an old-fashion bronze key waiting for them.

Kris plucked the key, grinning from ear-to-ear. He whispered something in the old woman’s ear, which made the old woman nod and smile back.

Love-sick, they headed up the stairs to their room. Kris opened the door and Will gasped. The room stared back at them, charming and quaint, but it was the king-sized bed that caught Will’s attention. Beyond the bed was a huge and luxurious bath complete with a giant tub big enough to fit two.

“Looks like they gave us the honeymoon suite, babe,” Kris whispered against his ear.

Kris shut the door behind him. Will could hardly breathe, but he was more than ready to give up his purity to this man, to this Beta who blew him away the moment their gazes landed across each other through the one-way mirror.

He expected, hell he wanted Kris to take control. To shove him against the bed, tear off his clothes and ravish him. The knock on the door made Will jump, but it was only one of the hotel staff, with a bucket of wine in his hand. After Kris tipped him and took the wine, they were left alone again.

“Want some fancy champagne?” Kris asked.

“Of course,” Will said beaming. “Never thought you were that kind of man.”

Kris uncorked the wine and poured them each a glass.

“This is nice,” Will murmured. He sipped the wine and sighed contently, and then placed it down. Kris raised his brows. “I want to feel everything, not let the alcohol dull my senses.”

That took Kris by surprise, but the Beta recovered and set his own glass aside. “I can smell your need, pup.”

Kris neared him, tugged him close and Will groaned when Kris placed a hand over the bulge in his jeans.

“I’ve been so hot for you ever since I sighted you across the looking glass.” Will panted. Kris leaned in close and claimed his lips again.

Tearing his mouth away, Kris bit at his earlobe. “I want you stripped, bare and ready for me, pup. Show me how badly you want my cock in you.”

Knowing what to do, Will dispensed with all his shyness. He took a couple of steps back, so Kris could have a full view of him. Hands on the hem of his shirt, Will pulled it off. He knew he’d never been blessed with good looks or possessed a killer body, but Christ, Kris looked at him as if he was the finest and tastiest thing Kris had ever laid his eyes on.

Will kicked off his shoes and fumbled for his belt. His boxers and bottoms followed. He’d never been an exhibitionist in his entire life, but when Kris devoured the sight of his body with his eyes, Will would be one for Kris anytime the Beta wanted.

Kris positioned himself on the edge of the bed, expectant gaze on him.

Will spread his thighs a little further apart. With a shy smile, he showed Kris his cock, which curved upwards to Kris in need. 

“Touch yourself for me, baby. I want to watch,” Kris commanded. The firm authority in his voice made Will shudder.

Curling his fingers over his dick, Will decided this was one of the most erotic things he ever did. Unlike his alone time in the shower, gliding his fist up and down his shaft in front of his mate-to-be was sexy, and judging by the woody Kris sported, made both of them rock hard in moments.

“Tell me how much you want me, what you imagine me doing to that fucking sweet body of yours,” Kris instructed.

“I want you so bad, Beta.” Will panted. His imagination went on overdrive. “I want your mouth on my skin, your hands all over me, reminding me I’m yours…”

“Go on.”

“I see your hand around my prick, working me, up and down, slow and fast.”

“Come a little closer and maybe I will.”

Hardly believing Kris’ answer, Will approached him, sighing when Kris took over. God, but it felt a thousand times more sensitive with Kris’ callused and huge fingers holding his shaft captive.

“Remember, Omega. No coming without my permission.”

“I’ll try,” Will whispered.

“You won’t try, you’ll obey.”

That turned Will on even more and Kris knew it. Kris stopped stroking him to pat his lap. Will stared at him for a couple of seconds before comprehension dawned. Banding one arm around Will’s waist, Kris led Will to sit on his lap. Feeling Kris’ arm around his back, Will wrapped his arms around Kris’ neck. With his free hand, Kris resumed giving Will a hand job.

“Let me return the favor,” Will said, eyeing Kris’ impressive erection.

Kris let out a rumble which Will took as approval. Reaching for Kris’ dick, Will began gliding his fist up and down the Beta’s massive shaft. Damn, but Will realized Kris really sported a massive package.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, it’s just…I’m wondering if you’ll fit in me. Your dick’s really huge.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment. Don’t worry, baby. I’ll go slow and I won’t hurt you.”

Will beamed at him. “I know.”

Kris stroked him faster and Will followed until both of them were gasping. Pinching Will’s tip with his fingers, Kris ordered, “Come for me, pup.”

With a shuddering cry, Will exploded, the pressure building in him burst. His cum coated Kris’ hand, stomach and chest but the Beta didn’t seem to mind. It didn’t take long for Kris to reach climax either. With a grunt, Kris painted Will’s stomach and ribs with his cum.

Knowing instinctively what to do, Will got off Kris’ lap and knelt between his legs. Kris raised one eyebrow but didn’t complain when Will started cleaning and lapping off his cum.

“Aren’t you a fucking peach, baby?” Kris threaded fingers into his hair. “But I haven’t lay claim to that sweet virginal ass yet.”

“Let me help you get hard again,” Will offered.

Kris nudged his dick between his lips and Will opened his mouth. His tongue darted out and Will swirled it around Kris’ cock head. Will relished every groan of pleasure that came out of the Beta’s mouth. Taking Kris between his lips, Will sucked hard, applying suction and attention with every inch he covered.

The Beta tugged at his hair, but Will rather liked the bit of pain. Bobbing his head up and down, Will liked Kris’ length hardening under his mouth. Sensing Kris was about to blow again, Will pulled back. Kris leaned down to give him a kiss on the forehead.

“Wait here, baby. We need lube.” Kris rose to his feet and picked up his jeans and pulled a tube of lube from his back pocket.

“Ever ready, aren’t we?” Will couldn’t help but ask.

Kris’ golden eyes burned with lust. Will shivered, not ready for his answer. “Will, I knew I had to be ready the moment I saw your video. I knew you were the mate I’d been waiting for all my life.”

“And you never considered you might be mistaken?”

Will stood up as Kris sat on the edge of the bed again and patted his lap once more. He straddled Kris’ lap, aware of every single detail, from Kris’ sure hand on the middle of his back making sure he wouldn’t fall to his heart, practically bursting out of his chest with need. 

This was it. This was really happening, but Will couldn’t stop now. He needed to find out what happened in the end. Would he finally get his happily-ever-after with Kris?

Chapter Five

“Talk to me, baby, are you afraid?” Kris urged.

Sweet of Kris, but Will was equal parts terrified and excited. He wanted Kris to be the first man who touched him and the last. Will belonged to no one else but Kris. The world narrowed down its scope. The room fell away and only the two of them mattered.

“I’m scared of screwing this up,” Will answered truthfully.

Kris laughed. “Believe me. You won’t screw this up.”

The Beta uncapped the lube and applied a generous amount on his fingers and plenty more inside Will’s crack. Will shivered when Kris pushed a finger in him and suddenly curled, reaching a secret spot Will never knew existed. A whimper came out of him, needy and full of want.
