Chapter 23

Their 'short nap' turned into a long one, and Brett awoke the next morning at five sharp. When he reached blindly for his glasses and checked the time on his phone, he couldn't believe it. Why did they sleep for so long?!

Eddy was snoring lightly on his chest, miraculously still asleep. They'd probably needed it - otherwise, their inner clock would have woken them up.

Brett sighed and petted his mate. He could do that while he was awake. He didn't want to leave his warm cocoon of their combined smells and so he closed his eyes again. Even though his thoughts were racing and he couldn't sleep anymore, moving was out of question.

Eddy snuggled more to Brett, rubbing his scent all over the man and trying to get as close as he could. He occasionally sniffed through his snores. The omega must have been exhausted if he was sleeping this long.

Brett ran his hands over Eddy's body like he did the day before, placing soft kisses onto the omega's head every once in a while. He didn't want to wake him up - just shower him in a little bit of comfort. Eddy seemed to like those sorts of touches, so why should he deny them? So he lavished affection on Eddy - and going by the omega's constant purring, he was apparently doing well.

Brett sniffed at Eddy, and all he could recognize was their combined scent. Ray's pine smell was completely gone now. He really hoped Eddy would be at least a bit more cautious with that sort of thing, but he could also understand why Eddy did it. They were friends, after all, and Brett knew how affectionate Ray could be. But it wasn't easy for him. He sighed and placed another kiss on Eddy's forehead.

The omega rolled to be more on top of the alpha, blanketing Brett. His instincts apparently weren't aware that he was bigger than Brett, and could very well crush or suffocate him.

Eddy rubbed against his alpha even more now as he purred.

Brett really needed to work out. Air was kind of important to him. He rolled Eddy to his side so he could breathe normally again, pressing a kiss onto Eddy's cheek. Hopefully, he wouldn't wake up, but Brett didn't have much hope.

Unfortunately, Eddy blinked awake at the movement.

"What time is it?" he asked, voice gruff.

The alpha knew that if he told him the truth, Eddy would be adamant on getting up. Seeing as it was still dark outside, he decided on a white lie.

"One in the morning. You squished me a bit. Sleep, Eddy."

He pressed a series of kisses onto the omega and petted him. Hopefully, Eddy would just take his word for it and sleep.

"Hmm, that early?" Eddy mumbled, still half asleep. He only faintly recalled that he didn't make them dinner, like he said he would. It didn't matter much, though, if it was already the next day. He'd just make breakfast.
