Little Sheep

Mark Watts Part 9

The days following I had given up trying to fight the pull of my attraction towards Hayden. I had told him my most sensitive secret and I felt there was no going back after that. Feeling cared about was satisfying, it felt comforting. Something that I had fought for so long, I had no idea giving up to it would be so freeing... smelling myself on Hayden and seeing him safe. I couldn't bring myself to pluck up my pride and resist any more. I wasn't planning on going back to the city any time soon, but this... felt right... when Hayden slipped his hand into mine as we started driving again, I felt my soul calmed. They said omegas had special skills to help alphas relax, I always thought it was bullshit. I glanced at him, the small form looking out the window. I sighed, happy and relaxed.

I admired the omega from the side of my eye, not completely ready to admit to myself how okay I would be with having Hayden cuddled in my arms. The cynical corner of my mind scolded me, telling me I was just under the omega's spell. I knew full well it was just the fog from the scenting last night, but part of me just wanted to lean into it. Dark eyes looked up at me and my heart skipped a beat.

"What if they don't like me, Mark?" He frowned, the sentence catching me off guard.

I stared at him, wondering who in the world wouldn't like the omega before I remembered I was someone who didn't when I first met him. "They'll have to get to know you." I snorted, looking back to the road. We could see a bit of the town, the bulk of it sketchy buildings and casinos. It wouldn't be too long now...

My answer didn't seem to really appeal to the omega, Hayden chewing on his lip nervously. "...but..." he removed his hand from mine, making my digits feel lonely and cold.

"I'll be there with you, just relax." I huffed, the omega nodding slowly. The drive was quiet for a couple hours, the town getting closer and closer.

"Hayden..." I slowly started. "I'm sure they'll like you." I said it quietly, almost hoping he wouldn't hear. The omega leaned against me slowly, looking up at me with those eyes. I felt my hand twitch, moved to hold his smaller hand in mine. I felt the omega relax and felt myself puff up in pride.

We reached the town as it reached around noon, squinting at the building in hopes to find the one that held the only really interesting person in the area. I hadn't been here since I was young, but I could remember the town like the back of my hand. It wasn't a very luxurious part of my childhood, but it was my favorite part. It was ironic, the most innocent part of my life was living in a whorehouse. I snorted, pulling into a field and looking towards the tall, brick building.

"We're here, Hayden." I hummed, letting his hand go to stretch. He let out a yawn, following my example as I got out and slowly walked into the building. It was nice enough inside, carpets soft and couches as clean as they could be. I heard a welcome from the front desk, an omega smiling sweetly at me and looking confused as he spotted Hayden.

"How... can I help you?" He eyed the other omega, unsure if we were here for a three some or a job. I cut him off near the end, impatient and eager to find my mother.

"Tate Hill." I studied him, knowing I was being a dick by both his and Hayden's expression.

He hesitated, holding up a finger and moving to pick up a phone to page the omega. I didn't say anything after he assured me she would be on her way down, tapping Hayden's ass to get him to follow me to a couch. Minutes rolled by and I was doing my best to not show how anxious I was. It could be possible she didn't want me anymore... slowly a tall omega walked into the room. I was the spitting image of her, her cold green eyes and dark hair similar to mine. She looked up at us, as if annoyed for a moment or two before recognizing me. Her eyes grew soft, quickly moving to hug me tightly. She trembled and I felt myself hug her tighter.
