Claiming their Omega (Suzi de Beer) novel Chapter 17

17. DAISY

I shouldn’t have said that.

My face was on fire from embarrassment. In my head, things had gone a lot different, much smoother.

“Forget I said anything,” I muttered as I spun around and hurried back to my room.

I kicked the door closed behind me and hurried towards the nest where I could hide for the rest of the day. Just as I pulled the secret book back, my bedroom door opened.

“We haven’t finished our conversation, Dalsy,” Elias growled.

“You don’t want it so it doesn’t matter.”

“I didn’t say that. You just caught me off guard.” He frowned. “I didn’t expect you to walk up to me and tell me that you want me to take your virginity, I certainly didn’t expect you to actually take up Alex’s offer.”

“It’s the closest I’ll ever get to experience things girls my age do,” I told him honestly, “You seem to be sure that John won’t have the money in a month.”

Elias ran a hand through his hair. “Are you sure about this Daisy? I don’t want you to regret this.”

“I won’t.” I didn’t sound as confident as I wanted to be.

If he kept questioning me, I might actually change my mind. I had thought about it over and over again last night before I finally fell asleep. They were the answer to all my fantasies.

Elias entered the bedroom and closed the door behind him. He stalked closer, making my heartbeat Increase with every step he took.

“Why me?” he questioned.

I hesitated. “We both have scars. Nobody has ever seen my scars and I don’t want them to see it first because I feel more confident with you.”

His hand raised to his face. “Because I have scars too.”

“We went through the same things. There’s no reason to explain how I got the scars.” I took a step towards him and pressed my hand against his. “You don’t make me nervous.‘

He raised an eyebrow. “What if I’m not comfortable with you seeing my scars?”

The words caught me off guard. It hadn’t even crossed my mind until he just mentioned it. All I was thinking

about was me.

“I saw it,” I told him softly. “Some of your scars when Alexander was putting you in bed. It was just a glimpse…” I trailed off when he stopped in front of me.

I kept my eyes on his chest, too scared to look him in the eye after I admitted that to him. It hadn’t been meant for my eyes, seeing him so vulnerable and exposed.

Gripping my chin, he tilted my head back so I had no choice but to look at him. His blue eyes darted over my face and locked on my mouth for a few seconds before they darted up and locked with my mine.

“Women find me repulsive because of the scars I have. I was in a relationship when it all happened.” He scoffed. “I was actually planning on proposing to her. She promised that she would be by my side while I recovered, taking care of me and supporting me. But when they removed the bandages from my face and she saw the damage…she walked away. Since her…there has been no one. Until you.”

He stepped closer, hand slipping down to the side of my neck.

“When you looked at me, I waited for your lips to twist in disgust and your eyes to full with repulsion. There was none of that. You looked at me and you saw me.”

“Is that why you smiled at me?”

Elias leaned down, pressing his forehead against mine. “No.”

“Why did you smile at me then?”

His lips moved a few inches closer. “Maybe I’ll tell you someday.”

The words I wanted to utter were forgotten the moment his lips brushed mine. It was barely a touch, but it was enough to make the air lock in my throat.

Another step closer made my breasts brush his chest.

“It’s been a few years since I’ve had a woman in my bed,” he whispered. I’m going to ask you once more, Daisy. Are you sure about this?”

In answer to his question, I gripped his shoulders and pressed my lips to his. With a low groan that made goosebumps break out across my skin, Elias wrapped an arm around my waist and took control.

His lips parted mine, tongue slipping into my mouth to taste me.

I froze for a few seconds, wondering if I was doing it right, but the doubts disappeared when his tongue brushed against mine.

Heat flooded my body.

Breaking the kiss, he placed open–mouth kisses down my jaw to my neck. My head dropped back to give him. better access. I gasped when he nipped at my skin with his teeth and then soothed the pain with his lips.

But then he pulled away, making me frown.

Without a word, he gripped my thigh and hoisted me up. My arms slipped around his neck and my legs automatically tightened around his hips.

I expected him to carry me over to the bed, but Elias spun around and walked out of the room.

“You changed your mind?” I questioned out loud.

“No.” He squeezed my ass. “We need condoms.”

“Oh.”

I hadn’t thought of that. Pressing my face to the crook of his neck, I breathed him in.

My mind raced with different scenarios of how this could play out. I was hoping it would be as hot and sexy as those scenes I read about in my books.

Elias stopped moving and slowly started lowering me. My eyes snapped open when my back hit the softness of a

mattress.

“This isn’t your bedroom,” I muttered.

He smiled at me as he stood.

I pushed myself up onto my elbows to watch him as he walked over to Valiant’s closet and pulled it open. He searched through it, muttering under his breath. Spinning around, he stormed over to the bedside tables and pulled the drawer open.

“Fuck!” he cursed.

“What?” I sat up fully to face him.

“I was sure that Valiant would have some.”

I bit my lip for a few seconds and then asked the question that bothered me. “Does he sleep with a lot of women?”

Elias frowned. “No, he’s too busy for that.”

“Oh.”

His frown was replaced by a smile. “I’ll check Alex’s room. Why don’t you go wait for me in my room?”

When I hesitated, he pulled me to my feet and kissed me again. My body slumped against his, lips parting under the pressure of his. By the time he pulled back, I was panting for air.

“My bedroom, flower,” he growled. “I’ll be with you in a minute.”

I nodded.

Taking hold of my hand, he led me out of Valiant’s room and into the hall. Pressing a kiss to the corner of my mouth, he disappeared into Alex’s room.

I sucked in a shaky breath as I turned. My feet carried me over to his room, but I froze in the doorway. The curtains were still closed, blocking any light from entering the room.

With the door open, I could just make out the silhouettes of the furniture.

The window was right there. I could just run across to it and pull the curtain open. It would only take a few

seconds.

I jumped when Elias gripped my shoulder.

“Are you okay?” he questioned.

I glanced at him over my shoulder and then nodded. But the dark bedroom drew my attention once again.

Elias stepped in closer, pressing his chest to my back. His fingers slipped down my arm until he reached my

hand.

“You don’t have to enter the room to open the curtains,” he said softly. Alex installed an easy access control for me for when the migraines are bad and neither of them are home.”

He guided my hand to the wall and pressed my finger to a button I hadn’t even noticed. My eyes snapped back to the curtains when they started moving. There was no sound as one by one, the curtains rolled up, making light

flood the room.

“If you press it again, the curtains close.”

“Oh.” I swallowed. “D–do you get migraines a lot?”

His head lowered, lips brushing my ear as he spoke. “Sometimes they aren’t so bad. Just a dull headache that won’t go away.”

I turned in his arms to face him. “Did you find any condoms?”

He sighed. “Surprisingly, no. I texted Valiant to buy us some.”

Colour flooded my cheeks. “W–what now?”

“What do you want to do?”

I shrugged. My mind had been filled with images of us together and nothing else. I hadn’t thought of anything other than us having sex.

“How about a nice hot bubble bath to help you relax?” He smiled, “We can watch a movie afterward and see where things lead us.”

“Do I get to choose the movie?”

“Sure.”
