Andrés Oliva

Quickly, I nodded my head in response. Silence filled the room, and the pressure was building.

Alpha let out a sigh, and I tried to regain my breath.

"Ren is my mate," Alpha said, and it felt as if all the oxygen had left the room. What was he talking about?

"What about my mother? Isn't she your real mate?" I asked, concern creeping into my voice.

Ren let out a small chuckle, and we turned to stare at him.

"Your mother was not my mate. I met her at one of the lowest points of my life, and she understood me. I never even saw her after that one night," he said quickly. This was turning into a mess.

"What do you mean? You didn't know I was your son?" I asked, my anger rising.

"Look, son, I didn't know you were born. She never mentioned you over the phone," Alpha told me.

"I didn't even know she had cancer until the end," he sighed.

I wanted to scream. All this time, I thought he was unsure about what to do with me, but that was just a lie!

"Mom said you knew about me, but you were just too busy with work," I said, trying to hold back my tears.

"I waited and prayed every birthday that you would just show up. Then I got older and started asking even more questions, and she told me you died in a car crash on your way to meet me," I said.

"Wait, let's not get too heated. Maybe your mother had her reasons," Ren said as he tried to hug me.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted.

"Did you even want to have a son?" I asked, my voice trembling.

He opens and closes his mouth, but no words came out. What was I doing here? Why did I even care? Everybody leaves in the end. I should leave first, so it doesn't hurt.

"I didn't even want to be your son anyway," I shouted as I left to gather my things. I needed to go now. This was just too much for me.

"Andrés, wait," Ethan said as he grabbed my hand.

"You're shaking. Where are you going?" he asked.

"I don't know. I just need to leave right now," I replied, desperate to escape.

"Let me drive you," he said, taking the keys from my trembling hand.

"Okay," I said, climbing into the passenger seat. There was so much to say, but not enough words to calm me down. I felt as if saying anything would set everything off.

Ethan started the car and drove into the sunset, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding mine. It felt nice. Sadly, the whole day had been a disaster.

We drove for hours, listening to the radio until darkness enveloped us. Then, the tears came. I don't even know when it started, but I couldn't stop. Ethan parked the car at a park and sat with me as I cried.

"Do you want to get a hotel?" he asked, looking over at me.

"At least buy me dinner first," I replied, trying to lighten the mood. Ethan laughed, and my heart swelled just a little. I was glad Ethan was with me.

"Yes, I'd like to get a hotel even if you don't buy me dinner," I said with a smirk.

"Just for that, I'm going to get two rooms," he joked.

I gasped and said, "You would neverrr!" We stayed like that for a long time.

"I wish I could stop crying," I sighed as more tears fell.

"No worries. Let it all out. I would cry too if that happened to me," Ethan said with a sigh, looking out the window. He understood me. Maybe Ethan and I could work out.

"Let me find a hotel so we can relax a little. Maybe it will have a pool," he suggested as we checked his phone for a hotel near our location.

When we finally made it to the room, I started kissing him passionately, leaving no time to think, let alone breathe. I wanted to push all thoughts aside.

"Wait, Andrés, we shouldn't," Ethan said as he tried to pull away, but his hands were speaking a different story as they moved under my shirt.

"Want to take a shower together?" I asked, kissing up and down his neck and leaving visible marks to remind him later.

I could sense Ethan's thoughts from a mile away, and I was determined to change that, so I moved further down to grab his attention. Unfortunately, he stopped my hand.

"Andrés, you know I want you, but maybe we should stop for today," he told me, gently pushing me away.

"Fine," I replied with a groan. I slowly took off my shirt and unbuttoned my jeans, revealing my arousal. It had been a while, and Ethan's allure was getting to me.

My jeans drop to the floor, and Ethan gasps and tries to look away. I drop my jeans and go for my underwear as I move closer to him. 

"You sure you don't want to take a shower together. I hear that it helps save water or whatever," I said as I walked naked toward the bathroom, making sure to walk in his eyeview. 

I hear a set of cussing, and Ethan follows me. I chuck that he caved in so fast. 

He kissed me, and I opened my mouth to give access to his tongue. We somehow turn on the water without following. Luckily, the shower was big enough for us to continue. 

"Are you sure?" Ethan asked me in between kisses. I move my hand until I reach the base of his hard-on and start to move my hands in rhythm, which earns me several sharp moans that echo. 

"Yes, I'm sure. Now get the lube and condoms," I tell him. 

"You want me to do you?" He asked in surprise. 

"I'm a verse. I can top, but I like to bottom more," I show him by prepping myself slowly. He runs out of the room and comes back seconds later. 

"I see that you found them," I said to him. 

"I've never done this before, so you have to guide me," Ethan said as he moved closer to me. 

"Okay, you need to put more fingers in," I tell him as I grab his hand. 

"Let me know if I'm hurting you," Ethan whispers to me as I moan. 

"I want to see your face," I said as I turned and kissed him some more. Everything was feeling good and stopped me from thinking about everything. 

"Put more lube," I tell him in between gasps and moans. I was holding on by a thread.

"I'm ready to put it in," I told him.

"Hmm," Ethan replied as he slowly pushed in, inch by inch, and I felt so full.

"I'm going to move now. Please let me know if anything hurts," he said as he began to push forward and back.

I forgot about the house and everything else. It was just me and Ethan, and it felt incredible. I had never experienced this with anyone before; I always felt that something was missing until now. Everything was just perfect.

We somehow made it to the bed and went a few more rounds until we couldn't move anymore. I fell asleep in Ethan's embrace. What would I do next? That was a question for later because, right now, I just wanted to listen to Ethan's heartbeat.
