Dirty Little Secret

Talks and Promises

Nicolas' POV

When I wake up, I feel myself wrapped in a safe cocoon of warmth, and my half asleep body snuggles closer, a deep pur of contentment rubmbling through my chest.

"Nicky did you just purr?" I hear and I squeal a little bit, jumping back and almost falling off of the bed before hands catch me and pull me back towards the hard warm chest I was just snuggled against.

I open my eyes after a little bit of struggle and find Jason looking down at me, propped up on one elbow with a look of amusement that sets my face on fire as I turn away from the wolf, ignoring the redness of my throat and cheeks.

"No."'I tell him crossing my arms in a pout in and he laughs, pulling me closer and even though i try to act mad I go willingly.

"It's okay. You were purring in your sleep too. Every time I shifted you came with me." He teased and I whine and cover my face with my hands but they don't stay there long until Jason is moving them and laughing, shaking his head, chocolate eyes down on me, his eyes not leaving my face as he looks at me.

"Let me hide. It's not funny." I tell him, but he doesn't listen.

"It is funny. It's also adorable. You keep reminding me that you are an Omega. It's very weird to remember." He says thoughtfully and I frown.

"You forgot?" I ask him, not upset about it just confused on how he could forgot that I'm a weak wolf just by how sweet I smell and how small I am.

He shrugs in answers and stares off into space but a hand comes up to rest on my stomach and though he doesn't look like he realizes it, I don't say anything and try to hide my blush within the darkness of the room. "Yes and no. I remember you're an Omega in the sense that people don't think you can handle yourself and that's they have to do everything for you until you feel smothered." He says and I interrupt softly.

"Except for you." I say and he looks down at me with another shrug though I'm pretty sure that even in the dark I just saw his cheeks darken.

"Yeah. Except for me. I want you to be able to stand up to anyone, especially me, if someone gets out of hand. And I know that and sometimes it makes me forget the other things. Like an over load in emotions and be bad for you, that you need validation and that you have an urge to scent me now all the time." He tells me and I scrunch up my nose.

"I don't want you to smell like someone else." I tell him, and I blanch when I realize that the words came out of my mouth and slap my hand over the stupid part of my face. "I'm sorry I-"

A finger finds my lips and Jace looks at me in clear amusement. "Stop apologizing for following instinct. Omegas are more territorial than Alphas despite human rumors." He reassures me and I sigh a breath of relief rhat us sadly short lived. "I wanted to talk to you about something."

I feel my face fall and tears come into my eyes at his change in tone. "Did I do something wrong?" I ask him and his fingers along my tummy squeeze softly.

"Of course not." He says with confidence and I breath a sigh of relief before he continues. "Nathan likes you, and while I don't know how you feel about Nathan, I think he can help us. It's not exactly ethical but it could save us in the long run." He says and I feel my cheeks heat up.

"You were listening?" I ask him, not sure how I feel about that and he sighs.

"Yes, but I already knew. And I'm pretty sure Clary does too and that's why she sent him over here." He says and the sky looks and jokes suddenly make sense.

"Oh." Is the only answer I have.

"Maybe it's a good thing he likes you. If you guys continues with your...." I hear his voice falter on the word but he picks it back up and continues in what he was saying. "If you two continue with your flirting then people will think that you two are together and people won't get suspicious of us." He tells me and I bite my lip.

"So you won't be mad anymore of me and Nathan hang out?" I ask him. I've never been completely sure of my feelings for the human, but I like it when we hang out.

"I can't promise that. Ever. But I will try to take into account that it's helping us until we can get away. I know he offers you a chance at normalcy. And I know he can give you what I can't, but I want to try. Just... if you do chose him, don't let me fall too far before you let me go." He says and I feel tears prick my eyes at his words.

"I won't pick him." I tell him. "I promise."

"Ahhh. Promises are made to be broken. And while you're with him I'll talk to my friend Luis. He owes me one." He says quietly and I can tell that this bothers him more than what he says.

"I'm sorry you didn't get the Maye you wanted." I whisper, wishing that this wasn't so hard and he chuckles catching me off guard before he answers.

"That's the thing. I did."
