Chapter Text
Harry was not amused that Louis had chosen to keep him waiting.
Harry was sitting at his desk at Anne Twist and Co , his knee bouncing wildly as his cell-phone lit up his face. It was a quarter after five, and the alpha had been expecting his mate promptly fifteen minutes ago. It’s not as if he was always keeping tabs on him. Today though, with the risque messages and raunchy insinuations the omega had been making all day through their text thread, Harry was not in the correct head space to be patient.
The alpha heard his mate’s voice echoing down the hall, speaking to another.
He rose out of his chair, unable to keep himself idling with the omega’s proximity so close.
It really was Louis' fault that he was quickly losing all of his self-control. Most nights, Harry was more than happy to wait until they were in the safe confines of their home to instigate any type of passionate interaction. Louis, though, had decided to play with fire today. There was no way that Louis was unaware of what that picture he’d sent only a few hours ago would do to him.
That picture was the cause of Harry short-circuiting in his executive meeting, fumbling to click off the screen of his phone, and losing all track of any thought he’d ever had that didn’t involve his hands being on top and inside of that gorgeous fucking body.
The image played back in his mind. The photo of Louis completely stripped besides his underwear, in front of the bathroom mirror, one arse-cheek propped up on the side of the sink, his curves showcased in the pivot he needed to take the picture. It really had sent his heart racing, his blood pooling to his dick, all the while his mother stood at the front of the table preparing to lecture them all about profits and losses. At that time, Harry couldn’t afford for his mind to slip into these territories, especially when he was already falling behind on his fall deadlines due to the few days he had to take off for their heat and rut only a few weeks prior.
The alpha was hungry though, he always was for his omega.
Harry wet his lips, opening the door of his office, watching as Louis laughed at something Zendaya Coleman, the new female alpha sales executive had said. He wasn’t necessarily threatened by her existence. She was mated to her own omega, and had been since they were young. It was more the wolf inside of him who was becoming quite possessive. Especially when he hadn’t seen Louis much at all that day…especially when the picture his omega had sent earlier in the day of him in those sheer….tight…white briefs were making his trousers feel uncomfortably tight.
Now, the boy was fully clothed, his usual tight black jeans clutching his curves just right. The light blue unbuttoned shirt he was wearing, showcasing his white tee underneath, had Harry wanting to run his hands on the soft tanned skin he knew that fabric was hiding, and he was quickly making a plan of doing so.
“Louis,” He uttered into the hallway in a low soft tone, one he knew was teetering the line of provocation. He was learning what the omega liked, and Louis liked to be wooed, he liked the feeling of being wanted.
There was nothing more in that moment that Harry wanted than his mate.
The omega’s blue eyes scattered from his conversation to the alpha standing in the doorway and back again. Harry didn’t miss the small proud smirk that slipped across his lips, still focusing on Zendaya as he turned slightly, his back pointed directly in Harry’s line of sight.
Harry knew what Louis was doing, he always knew what he was doing.
Sooner or later, the omega would realise that the alpha had cards of his own to play, and he was not shy in the slightest about using them, especially on his soon-to-be-husband.
Finally, the coworkers said goodnight, allowing his soulmate to make his way back down the corridor.
With every step Louis took, Harry could feel the tension between them growing with a thirst for each other that was almost foreign. He hadn’t felt this type of heat for his soulmate since ignoring their bond all those months ago.
The blue in the omega’s eyes glittered, and he almost looked –intimidated .
Harry swallowed, only then realising the pheromones that he was releasing were incredibly potent.
Louis’ hand fell on Harry’s chest, pushing him back into the office gently. “Easy there, tiger,” The omega reprimanded quietly. “Before all the other O’s start flocking to-”
The door shut with a loud thud, one of Harry’s hands resting just above Louis’ head, as the other softly lifted the boys’ chin. He brushed their noses together slightly, basking in the way the omega’s breathing was quickly accelerating in its pace.
“You’ve been naughty.” Harry informed him.
“Don’t know-” Louis’ air hitched in his throat, “-what you’re talking about.”
“Oh…yes,” Harry took a step closer, their stomachs grazing. “You do.” Louis’ obedient blue eyes were making him weak, while simultaneously making the wolf within him strong. He pressed his crotch against the omega, attempting to prove his point. “You know what you did.”
“Alpha,” Louis uttered softly, the hints of a whine interlaced in the syllables.
Harry only grunted in response, allowing their noses to brush once more before he leaned down and began kissing Louis’ neck softly. His tongue grazed the bite mark he’d made, taking extra love and care to every inch of that connection. It was undoubtedly the best decision he’d ever made, making this very boy his.
Having Louis pressed up against his office door as he attempted to keep his moans quiet was only adding to his desire. He wanted the omega naked, and owning up to those promiscuous promises he’d been making all day long.
Harry lifted his mouth, taking some time to breathe. “You like that? You like making me want to fuck you all day long?”
Louis swallowed. “You were ignoring me,” Louis uttered. “...I don’t like when you ignore me.”
The alpha hummed, kissing and sucking down towards Louis’ collarbone. “So,” Another kiss. “You went into the bathroom, and stripped yourself nude,” His finger grazed over the omega’s lips, “and decided to tease me?”
Louis gulped.
“Is that what your plan was?”
“N-no alpha,” The omega stuttered.
“Hmm,” Harry wasn’t at all convinced. So, he slowly slipped the silk button-down off of his mate’s shoulders. “I’m not quite sure that’s the truth— kitten .”
Louis let out the smallest of whines, gripping Harry's belt buckle. The aroma of citrus was washing over them both now. The longer he went on, the closer he could see the clouding of Louis’ eyes; the first stages of Louis’ wolf beginning to take over.
He loved this boy more than anything in the world. His snarky and sassy attitude, and adored the stubborn righteousness. He’d be a fibbing fool though, if he didn’t admit that he also loved the way the omega gave in to him. Louis let him take him in almost any way he wanted to.
“Alpha,” Louis groaned again, his eyes closing.
Harry allowed his hands to slip under the white t-shirt, to feel the warm soft skin of his omega. “You tempt me,” He whispered into his ear, “you make me crave every inch of you.”
Louis released a low moan, and Harry was done playing. He gripped the bottom of the boy’s shirt and ripped it off of his back, sending it toppling to the floor. Then, in one fell swoop his tongue was exploring his mate, recognizing every piece he’d already ingrained into his memory.
Being apart from Louis almost always left his soul feeling empty; bits and pieces of him slipping away as the hours passed. When they were reunited though, every atom in his body ignited. He was reborn again, baptised in the omega’s glow. He wanted every second of his life to feel like this, to feel how he felt when kissing Louis.
The omega nipped his bottom lip at the same time he gripped both of the alpha’s biceps, bringing Harry back to the present moment.
Harry groaned in response, his hands finding his mate’s waist, pressing his spine up against the cold wood, twirling their tongues together in a fit of passion.
They were attempting to breathe into each other, hands rubbing over each other’s chests and arms. It was as if they couldn’t get enough of each other, and really, Harry couldn’t. No amount of Louis would ever be enough.
“Remember what you wanted?” Harry said, pulling away, his fingers moving to quickly lock the door.
Louis only stared at the alpha.
Harry allowed a devilish smirk to shine through. “C’mon kitten,” He prodded as he untucked his own shirt from his pants, his fingers frantically moving to unclamp the buttons. “What is it you were saying earlier…something about…fitting under my desk? Refresh my mind, will you?”
“I–I,” Louis’ eyes were going grey, his hands pressed to the wood behind his back. Still, he couldn’t manage to finish his statement.
The alpha had learned in the time they’d been mated that as lewd as his omega’s mouth was, as big of a game he talked, Louis was quite shy when it came to the real thing.
“Just tell me baby,” Harry urged, ripping the shirt right off of his own back. “What did you say?”
Louis’ hands moved to softly graze the alphas stomach, tracing the lines of his muscles. “I said I-” He swallowed, “would fit perfectly under your desk, and that maybe my mouth would be of use.”
Harry hummed proudly. “Yes…you did.” His fingers swam through Louis’ hair as he flicked open the omega’s button on his jeans, slowly dragging the zipper down. “Why don’t we take these off? And we can see how useful that mouth really is…huh?”
Another whine escaped his boy as Harry knelt down, his hands slowly pulling at the tight fabric around the omegas thighs. As Louis obliged to Harry’s movements, stepping out of his trousers, the alpha focused on those taunting briefs, the ones in which outlined the omega’s hard-cock, teasing the alpha, showcasing the plumpness of his arse.
Harry looked up, watching as Louis watched him, biting his lip nervously. In an attempt to soothe his mate, Harry’s hands caressed Louis’ arse as he kissed the boy's bulge, causing Louis to let out a soft cry of pleasure.
The alpha liked it, he liked hearing all those needy noises. He made quick work of the need, and sucked on the omega's balls through the fabric, and Louis almost lost his balance. In response, Harry placed a hand on the omegas thighs, chuckling to himself. “Easy there kitten,”
“H? What if someone hears?” Louis whispered.
“Well,” Harry pulled at the boy’s waist as he stood, the warm skin feeling like home for his fingertips. “You weren’t worried about that when I was in my executive meeting sending me scandalous photos.” He placed a gentle kiss on his mate’s lips, letting them linger as he spoke again,“were you?”
The echo of the boy’s swallow reverberated through the walls of the alpha’s office.
Harry just couldn’t take it any longer. He lifted the boy, basking in the way Louis’ legs moved to immediately tighten around his waist. Sloppily, they kissed, tongues moving madly with almost no hesitation, just the single intention of tasting each other.
He loved the flavours of Louis, of the sweet berry scent he exuded coming off of his tongue. The omega was like the best part of every season, the freshness of spring, the warmth of the summer, the beauty of fall and the crispness of winter. He loved his mate in every way. Every movement of his lips, every graze of his fingertips, he hoped Louis could feel the way his entire existence belonged to him.
Harry made his way behind his desk, sitting at his chair, adjusting Louis to straddle his lap. It was impossible to hide his desire for his mate as the omega began to thrust his hips, grazing that thickly-sweet arse right over his erection.
In response to the feeling, Harry groaned into his fiancés mouth, attempting to find some leverage as his fingers dug into Louis' waist.
The day had been torture, being forced to think about them connected like this, with his omega only adding fuel to the very passionate fire he always had for him.
Harry knew Louis liked to be wanted, liked the reassurance, he just wished he didn’t find it fun to tease him all the while he was attempting to be productive in any way that didn’t involve his fucking cock.
The alpha pulled back, a trail of spit following him. He wiped his lips, gawking at the curves that sat on top of him. He ran his fingers over his own name that was etched along Louis’ collarbone before licking through the letters.
“Mine,” He whispered. It had been a long journey to get here, one filled with sorrow and longing. Now that they’d passed their stubbornness for each other though, Harry was never going to let Louis go. “Mine.” His tongue trailed down to one of the omegas nipples, circling it, flicking it, and then taking his teeth and pulling at it.
“Alpha!” Louis’ head fell back.
“Shh!” Harry laughed, his grip even tighter on his mate's waist. “Unless–” He smirked again, “--you want to let everyone know how good your alpha makes you feel.”
Now, he could feel the wet patch of slick that was soaking the boy’s panties, the orange scent dripping onto his knee as the omega attempted to rock back to release some of the friction he must have been feeling.
Harry wanted to give in to his mate, to pull the god forsaken underwear off of him and stick his fingers into the omega. He thought though, that maybe the little one deserved a little teasing of his own.
So, the alpha pushed at Louis’ knees, gently putting him back onto his feet.
Louis looked at him confused.
The alpha cleared his throat, unable to hide his coy grin. “Let's test it, baby.”
“Test what?” Louis asked, his blue eyes shining brightly.
Harry could feel the nerves in his mate. So, he tugged at Louis’ waist, bringing him back to a slow kiss, his tongue only grazing Louis’ lips before he pulled back to whisper. “If you fit under my desk.”
With these words, Louis’ cheeks flushed red, his eyes going grey.
“Well,” Harry laughed at the fact that his mate was so easily able to slip into an omega submission for him. It was endearing really. “You won’t fit like that kitten,” Harry leaned back resting his elbows on the arms of his chair. “You’ll have a much better chance on your knees.”
Almost as if he was entranced, the boy's knees bent slowly, lowering himself down to the floor just in front of him.
This picture would always be one of Harry’s favourites. Those beautiful blue eyes looking up at him, Louis’ red lips slightly parted, his tanned skin proudly displaying his name.
“So beautiful,” Harry uttered, his thumb running over the pink of Louis’ lips, his palms caressing his cheek.
He watched as the omega swallowed, looking at the alpha’s lap.
Harry’s blood was pooling faster in between his thighs, his dick tight with tension, yearning to somehow get inside of his mate, to get wet with drool or slick and to remind his fiance who was really in charge.
Louis tugged at his waistband, forcing Harry to sit up slightly to allow the omega to remove his trousers completely.
It was comical really, how Louis did fit quite perfectly in the space under his desk, if anyone walked in, they probably wouldn’t even know he was there. He hated he knew that fact now, it was surely going to be something that would tempt him in the days to come.
Louis gripped tightly on the base of his cock, pulling at his shaft.
Harry groaned in anticipation, his fingers running through the soft brown wisps of the omega’s hair.
Almost as if his fiance was trying to kill him with sexual frustration, he placed both hands onto his length and tugged, working him up in slow and teasing strokes.
The alpha was sure everything internally was threatening to explode.
Even still, the alpha wasn’t the kind to be forceful, his omega may be known to like it rough, but he wasn’t in the business of taking anything that he didn’t want to give.
So, Harry leaned in, kissing the omega’s cheek before planting his soft lips onto his mate’s. When he pulled away, breathless from focusing on anything besides the tightness of Louis’ grip. “Would you like to use that pretty little mouth of yours baby?”
Louis’ mouth parted as he nodded once before leaning in.
Harry thought he’d died and gone to heaven. He was positive this moment would live in his daydreams forever the moment Louis’ warm wet tongue circled the head of his cock.
A groan released as his head fell back, his eyes fluttering closed.
Louis began lapping every inch, licking lightly, his hand slowly running up and down.
The omega knew how he liked it, knew the spots that made him tick, the ones that would make him– cum . It was over his dead body he was going to finish anywhere that wasn’t inside of his mate. He forced his thoughts away for a moment, attempting to find some self-control.
Louis attempted to get him to cave though, his cheeks hollowing as he sucked in slow strokes, making Harry’s thoughts cease to exist. He was almost sure the omega liked this game, the one where Harry would try to control his orgasm, and where Louis was persistent to get it to occur on his whim.
“Fuck, baby.” Harry was biting his tongue, his cock already threatening to release.
He’d been on edge all day, struggling to maintain the wolf within him that was itching to find his kitten and rail him until he screamed his name. He had been thinking about it so much that he was already half-way to completion. With the way Louis’ cheeks were doing ample work, lathering his entire length with his love, Harry was quickly losing this round.
Under no circumstances was that going to happen. He was no amateur, especially when it came to fucking Louis.
He leaned down, and cupped the boy's chin, gently pulling his mouth away from his cock.
His lips hovered over the omega’s. “Guess you do fit.”
Louis hummed, smirking “Is my mouth useful?”
“It’s fucking magic, baby,” The alpha uttered, licking Louis’ tongue, enjoying the very taste of himself that lingered on his omega. “Let me show you what my fingers can do.”
In one fell swoop, Harry was on his feet, his arms lifting the little wolf, turning him so his stomach was pressed against his desk.
The alpha pulled down the sheer white fabric, until it bunched up over Louis’ hamstrings, his fingers moving to spread his cheeks.
He played with the omega’s hole, circling around it, making Louis whimper under the palm that was pressing him onto the desk. He loved those little sounds, the ones that communicated that he was needed, that his omega wanted him.
They’d gone too long with ignoring each other back when they’d first met, in avoiding their soulmate bond. That fact haunted him, especially when he considered all the sex they could have been having those two weeks they’d been nothing but imbeciles. Harry had vowed a long time ago that he’d never let his mate go unsatisfied, that he’d always make him feel loved. Louis deserved that much.
Slowly, Harry plummeted his fingers into his mate, the warm tight passage closing around him as if the omega wanted him to live within it.
Louis writhed, his hips rocking back, attempting to force Harry to quicken his pace.
Harry laughed, putting more of his weight on the hand that was holding him down. “Patience, kitten.” He smirked, moving to circle the omega’s prostate.
Immediately Louis jerked and Harry’s fingers were covered in another thick enticing gush of slick.
“What do you want, baby?” Harry asked his nostrils flaring at the citrus scent that engulfed him. He began moving his hand in slow thrusts, knowing it was only a fraction of what his mate really needed.
Louis mewled, the only thing he was capable of doing was to ensure the alpha’s fingers kept working.
“You want me to make you cum with my fingers, darling?” Harry prodded. “I can.” he offered, his voice raising an octave.
“No, no,” Louis finally managed, his voice hoarse. “F–fuck me.” Louis said finally.
Harry grinned proudly. He enjoyed the way that sentence sounded coming out of his omega’s mouth. It was like music to his fucking ears. He wasted no time in taking his fingers out, leaving his omega empty only momentarily.
He wiped the slick off on his cock, tugging a few times before setting himself up at his mate’s entrance.
He dropped his stomach to Louis’ back, kissing the omega’s jawline twice. As he began inching inside of him, he surrendered his entire soul to the very boy beneath him. “I love you,” He whispered, his hips pulling back slightly.
Louis’ hand reached back, squeezing Harry’s arse cheek, almost like the omega wasn’t ready to feel the alpha’s cock leave him.
In response, Harry grinned. He liked to let the little wolf believe that he had any control over what occurred between them when they were intimate. In reality, there wasn’t a single thing that happened that Harry wasn’t in charge of, that the alpha hadn’t already approved of in his mind.
He groaned into his fiance’s ear, nibbling at the skin, his hands digging into the sharp curve of Louis’ waist. “So hot,” He grunted as he began thrusting slightly into the omega.
His gaze travelled to the curve of Louis’ arse, his hand squeezing it lovingly. Then, up his spine, admiring the delicate skin, before getting lost in his hair as his fingers began to pull lightly at the strands.
That was when his eyes fell to the piece of paper that littered his desk top. It was the letter, the very same one that had come to him that day by the hands of his assistant, Timothee, had brought him.
It was in response to a note he’d sent six months ago now—one he thought wasn’t going to receive any acknowledgement.
He was almost shocked when his fingers had run over the professional seal that proclaimed the ‘House of Commons’ logo. He could still smell the potency of alpha, teakwood and juniper scents encompassing the envelope.
Harry couldn’t run the risk of Louis seeing it now, of it making him ask questions he wasn’t prepared to answer.
So, he pulled out of the omega, making Louis shudder in his emptiness. “Alpha,”
“I’ve got you, pup,” the alpha said as his sheer strength lifted his mate up to his feet, and spun him around before he sat back into his office chair.
Harry had never considered using it for these purposes, but there was a first time for everything.
That fucking letter could wait, he had better things to do…like his omega.
He ripped the fabric off of Louis’ hamstrings as he gently stroked his own cock, allowing Louis to set himself up on his lap, straddling his hips in anticipation.
The alpha rubbed his nose into the side of the boy’s hair, feeling the omega tease his own hole with the alpha’s dick.
Harry was feeling playful, his hands running up and down the boy's chest, stopping a few times to tug at the smaller one's hard-on. “C’mon baby,” he teased. “Don’t keep me waiting.”
“Oh please,” Louis was taking his sweet time, letting the alpha’s cock rub between his cheeks. “Like you didn’t keep me waiting all day.”
“I was working,” Harry grunted, moving to clutch the base of his dick, the space where he could feel his knot getting uncomfortably tight. “Like you were supposed to be doing.”
“My wolf wanted to fuck you,” Louis shrugged.
The alpha was getting frustrated now. “Then fuck me.” His palms gripped the skin of Louis’ hips tightly before pushing down to mount him in one go. Harry’s head fell back, preparing himself to utter something of adoration to his boy, Louis’ tongue fell within his mouth, licking his teeth.
He was overcome with pleasure, focusing on following the quick movements Louis was making on both his mouth and his rod. He could feel his knot growing, and he loved the hiss Louis would release and try to hide every time it grazed his sweet opening.
The omega pulled back, struggling to keep his pace and the air in his lungs.
Harry wrapped his forearms around the omega’s back, his palm clutching the other side of his waist. It was his turn to take the reins again, and he needed a release… soon .
He fucked up into Louis, causing a whimper to release from his fiance.
The alpha was slightly worried this would happen, that his mate would be unable to do as he said, and keep quiet. This was becoming more and more apparent the faster his pace quickened.
Normally he liked it when his mate was expressive, when his moans and utterances were louder than the slapping of the alpha’s balls against his tight flesh. This time though, with their office building still potentially full of employee’s who had prying ears, he was not willing to share those cherished sounds with anyone else. Those were for his ears, and his ears only.
“Shh, kitten,” He uttered before pecking at the boy's lips, still never once slowly in his speed. “Someone’s going to hear.”
“Alpha,” The omega whined. “Alpha,”
Harry grabbed the back of Louis’ head gently, pulling at it until Louis’ groans were being muffled into his neck, his breath heating up his skin.
He pressed another kiss to Louis’ jaw as the sweat beading on his back only seemed to motivate him more.
The alpha needed to knot, needed to fill his omega up with his seed.
“Want you full of me” He breathed. “Want to live inside of you.”
Louis couldn’t speak, his thighs were shaking much too madly, his slick making it even easier for the alpha to do what he pleased.
“I love you so much,” He admitted. “Love you forever.”
“Alpha!” Louis screamed, making Harry react by shoving his face back towards himself, and in order to mute the cry he was releasing, the omega bit down on Harry’s shoulder.
He kind of liked the pain, like the shrill of his mate, and loved the feeling of Louis’ release spurting out onto his stomach.
It was all he needed for his knot to grow larger, to lodge itself in his omega. A few last thrusts allowed for his own seed to find a new home within his omega.
He let out a low groan, feeling all the strain in his body fall away.
This was his purest form, the only place in which everything he’d ever been through made sense. When it was just himself and his omega, tied together as one, everything was right again.
His breathing began to slow, as he rubbed Louis’ back gently, who was coming down from his own high. When they were knotted, the omega was extra vulnerable, clouded in a haze of pleasure, and trust for his alpha.
Gently, Harry pressed his lips to Louis’ shoulder, holding him even tighter. The smell of the omega was intermingled with his own scent, and it smelled like home. His entire body calmed as they rested upon each other, letting the stress of the work day leave entirely.
Then, Harry thought of his mate’s antics and all of the behaviours he’d participated in, and began to chuckle. “This is what you wanted…isn't it? Rough office sex?”
Louis hummed, and the alpha could feel a soft smile against his skin.
“So naughty,” Harry uttered, without any warning in his tone. He was proud of how often his omega thought of having sex, happy with the way their life was unfolding.
It was stupid really how idiotic they’d been in ignoring their soulmate bond. He knew how obvious Louis was meant to be wrapped in his arms forever, and he couldn’t wait to make him his husband.
His eyes scanned his desk again, falling on the envelope.
He swallowed hard, the nerves twisting deep in his gut. The memory of the words written in that page haunting his mind now that he was free of erotic thoughts.
Harry knew he would need to tell Louis eventually about what was written on that piece of parchment, he just wasn’t at all aware of how in the world he would manage to do such a thing.
Everything already felt so messy. His own understanding of the issue was so convoluted, he had no idea how he would begin to explain it to his mate.
He remembered the text he’d sent to his step-father, Robbie, a photograph of the contents written in the note. At first when he’d received it he thought it was a joke.
Really, who waits six months to respond to a letter like the one he’d sent?
His step-father, which was still a weird concept, considering he’d only recently found out about the almost six years of marriage Robbie and his mother shared. However, Robbie had been an easy lad to get on with and had replied to the photo of the note almost as soon as he’d sent it.
Robbie: You should tell Louis on Sunday. We’ve waited long enough.
Robbie had been trying to convince him to come clean about this whole ordeal for quite a while.
The problem was, the alpha was breathlessly in love with his soulmate, falling harder and faster everyday. He was so protective of the little one, it was hard for him to even think about another person potentially tearing into their happy ending.
That didn’t mean he hadn’t been feeling guilty about it, about keeping it all from Louis. Still, Harry was sure there really wasn’t a need for Louis to know about the information he’d found out until the alpha was sure that the inclusion of this new person would be a positive addition to their family.
There were two many unknowns, so many questions that were swirling in his head, he knew it would only haunt Louis even more, and he just…couldn’t do that to him. Not without having the ability to comfort his mind.
It was his life’s work to ensure his mate was happy, healthy and taken care of. No one was going to hurt him…not even her. She’d had her chance to be there for him, and she’d failed. It was Harry’s turn now to shield the omega from the harsh reality of the world. The family they would build would be a bubble of serenity, no one was going to permeate it without his permission.
Louis took in a sharp breath as Harry’s fingers continued to dance along his spine.
“You alright, bug?” The alpha asked, and he could feel the slow decline of his knot.
The omega nodded, still under his wolf’s haze.
Lightly Harry hugged his mate tighter, shaking him slightly. “I love you, you know that, right?”
“Yes, alpha,” Louis said, tantalisingly close to a groan. “I love you too.”
Harry exhaled, breathing in the scent of his mate’s skin. It was inebriating, better than anything he’d ever consumed.
Just before his knot slipped out, he felt Louis’ fingers wrap around one of the curls of his hair, and he knew the omega was coming out of it.
Almost as if he was making his grand reentrance to reality, Louis groaned. “M’hungry.”
Harry laughed, his head falling back. “Of course you are.” He pressed his fingers into Louis’ soft curves before kissing his nose. “Let's get you dressed first…then food.”
“Too much work,” Louis rested his head in the crevice of Harry’s shoulder and jaw, and the alpha’s heart grew even wider for the boy still on his lap.
He sighed, knowing that Louis could get just about anything he wanted.
This was the exact reason Harry was reaching out onto his desk, grabbing a few tissues and cleaning both himself and his mate before lifting the boy and planting his feet onto the floor.
He leant down and helped him into his underwear before throwing the t-shirt above his head and bringing it down over his chest. Then, he took on the challenge of attempting to help him put on his jeans as well. Everytime Louis jumped though, falling on a piece of the fabric, he stumbled towards Harry clumsily.
“Oh just let me do it-” Louis finally gave in, dismissing his mate from the responsibility of putting on his trousers.
"Y’know…if they weren’t so bloody tight they’d go on easier," Harry said, shoving his own clothing back onto his shoulders.
“You like that they're tight,” The omega argued, “don’t pretend you don’t.”
“Yeah,” Harry scoffed, pulling up his zipper. “I do, until I see another alpha mentally undress you as you sway your hips past them.”
“Oh please,” the omega rolled his eyes. “Dramatic much?”
“When it comes to you,” Harry’s voice dropped in octaves as his hands clutched the boy's waist again, brushing their noses together. “Always.”
Louis' eyes fluttered back open, those beautiful blue irises looking up at him with wonder.
Harry bit the inside of his cheek, struggling not to fall to pieces in the presence of his omega. Whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, Louis could have it all.
“Can we get tacos please?” Louis asked. “From that food truck down the road? The one that has those fish tacos you really like?
Harry’s heart thudded madly. His omega was so fucking adorable it almost always made him weak. “Yes baby,” He kissed his forehead. “We can.”
Making their way out of the dark and desolate office building, hand in hand, they turned in the direction of Louis’ favourite Mexican food.
Harry was determined to ignore the vibration in his pocket. He knew who was texting him and why, and that was a topic of conversation he would very much like to avoid. “Will you eat the guacamole this time?” Harry asked, wrapping his arm around Louis’ shoulders.
“Absolutely not,” The omega scoffed. “That shits vile.”
It was Harry's turn to roll his eyes. “You just don’t like the texture of avocado.” Another thing he was learning about his omega was just how much of a picky-eater he really was.
“Not eating it,” Louis stuck to his stubborn quality.
“Fine.” Harry kissed his cheek. “You don’t have to. One day though…”
Louis shoved Harry away jokingly, a smitten smirk upon his face. “Not happening!”
They laughed together, walking through the last few hours of sunlight the summer-day had to offer.
They retrieved their tacos and cup full of guacamole, Louis having convinced Harry to also get the queso dip for their crisps as well. They sat upon a picnic table, basking in the warm august night air, as the beautiful pink and orange hues of the sunset paint their date.
The omega took the liberty of taking the lime on Harry’s plate and squeezing it over his tacos. Harry smiled gratefully before dipping a crisp into the queso and feeding it to Louis.
Everything was right between them.
Nothing would ever come between them again.
As they walked back to their car, the alpha pulled out his phone.
Robbie: Just found out she’s announcing her candidacy for Prime Minister next week.
Robbie: I know you wanted to wait until she gave you some answers, but I think we’re out of time.
Harry swallowed as he opened the door for his love. He attempted a smile as Louis thanked him and slipped inside.
The alpha knew his step-father was right. They were out of time, and Harry had no answers to give his mate.
As he walked around the back of his vehicle he quickly sent a reply.
Harry: Alright. We’ll tell him Sunday.
He sighed at the crescent moon that hung in the sky, and wished to every god that could hear his thoughts, that nothing would go wrong.
