Liam.
The ride to The Del Junco mansion was awkward but soothing. Being with him and smelling his pheromones really does take away the foul thoughts but the awkwardness levelled up to 100 after I noticed what was in the back seat. I thought Omegas go all out when buying these things but why did he buy such a small dildo. Is he maybe not into big lengths? Or is the dildo for Louis?, but considering Flavios length, I don't think Louis would buy such a small one.
If he's into small lengths then he'll run away when I take off my pants. This is bad. Really bad. Should I get dick reduction surgery? Wait, what am I thinking? I can't reduce my manhood and he probably doesn't like it small either. I should just ask him directly. No I can't do that. He'll think I am some perverted weirdo. Or he won't since he was practically seducing me back at the restaurant. I should----
"--am, Liam!!" His sweet voice broke my reverie.
"Hmm?"
" We're here. Get out" Definitely related to Flavio. That commandeering tone definitely runs in the family. He had parked directly at the front door, I could see the big fountain at the other side of the mansion through my peripheral vision and I worried for him. Scared of what his mom would do to him when she saw where he had parked.
" You know, for an omega, you are harsh with your words." I said trying to strike a conversation with him so I can ask about the dildo. Beating around the bush isn't my usual approach but being in the presence of such a beautiful person makes me nervous.
"I'm a dominant Omega. It's not in our nature to be nice to Alphas." he said with this stoic tone that held no feeling. Pretending I had no effect on him. I like that. I'll make sure to change that tone into the most beautiful moan ever.
"OK. I was gonna beat around the bush but let's just get this over with." I said looking him straight in the eyes. "Why did you buy such a small dildo? Don't Omegas usually buy larger ones for----" the words choked in my throat when I noticed his porcelain skin literally turn into a peach and he had the cutest confused expression on his beautiful face.
"S-s-small?" he asked. Wait did he buy that size thinking its big? Damn, someone needs to learn a thing or two about sex-toy-shopping. Probably from Daeshik. Hmmmm I should definitely buy him a copy of that manga. An alternate universe where people aren't ranked as Alphas, Betas or Omegas. He would love it. It has amazing smut. "So that isn't big enough on an Alpha?" he asked and I just shook my head. He looked flabbergasted. Guess he thought he had bought a big one.
"It's not even on the big scale or the medium scale. it's just small." I gave him my honest opinion and this time he looked paler than a ghost. Shock-stricken.
"Shit. I thought---" he started but he was cut off by a voice I knew so well.
"Liam, Dear. I'm so glad you came." It was Mrs. Del Junco. A woman I was silently scared of. She had mad fighting skills and could overpower anyone within seconds.
She walked past Matt and enveloped me in her hands squeezing the life out of me. "Don't take too long to come in. I have a message from your mother." She said while letting go of me then walked right past Matt, again, elegantly climbed the stairs and before she could open the two large white doors, she turned and locked eyes with Matt.
"Drive carefully, park that car where it's supposed to be then I want you to come and tell me why you haven't visited your mother in over six months." Her tone was so cold it made me shiver. I glanced over at Matt and watched him gulp, an act that shouldn't have made me feel what I felt.
I followed Mrs. Del Junco into the mansion as Matt went to park the car. We settled in the sitting room on the two large white couches opposite each other with a tiny teapot on the glass table between them as Mrs. Del Junco tapped her foot impatiently on the black-tiled floor.
"Have you been in contact with Matt, over the past months?" she asked me suddenly as she gently poured tea in two pea-sized cups. Seriously, how do people drink from these things? She handed me one cup as she looked at me through the tiny space between her cup and eyes as she awaited my answer.
"Yes, Mrs.D. I have." at my reply she put down her cup of tea and glared at me. Guess she expected me to say no. "Through Flavio of course." I added quickly. I didn't even know why she had asked me that question.
"Liam, Dear. You know you don't have to lie to me. Flavio told me all about your deal."
"He did?" I asked, kinda shocked. Flavio never opens his trap no matter what. Something isn't adding up. There's only one explanation. She must've----
"Well," she started. Pulling me out of my reverie. "He didn't really tell me willingly. I might've threatened him to tell me what was going on in Matt's life and he just blurted everything out." Now things are adding up. Of course Flavio isn't easily threatened but with his jolly mood these days he's fragile.
"OK." I wearily said taking a sip of my tea.
"I don't believe anything you told Flavio. " she said sternly, making me chock on my tea. I glanced in her direction only to find her scrutinising me with a deadly glare. What did she mean she didn't believe anything I told Flavio? "To be more clear. I don't think you made that deal with my 18 year old son just so you can sense pheromones. You can't fool me Liam" Shit!
"What makes you think I'm fooling you Mrs.D?" I asked, trying so hard not to lose face.
"Mijo, I know you. I know how you feel about not being able to sense pheromones. It makes you feel powerful knowing you can't be affected by them knowing you can't be in any scandal. It makes you stronger and makes you a better leader. So tell me the truth and I promise I won't stab you." she said the last part with an eerie smile. If I lie to her, she'll see right through me and stab me. I can't guarantee if that would be one or two stabs. If I tell her the truth, there's a very big chance she'll kill me. Either way I'm doomed.
It would be perfect if Matt walked in right about now. Where is he anyway? Surely parking can't take this long.
I glanced at Mrs.D once more and swallowed hard. The expression she was wearing meant she expected no bullshit. Guess I'll have to tell her.
"I feel something for Matt and I know it's wrong considering our age gap but I'm sincere. I may not be able to pinpoint what I feel for him right now but I know it's not lust. it's a feeling that makes my heart leap when I think of him. A feeling that makes him the centre of my universe."
"Are you sure of your feelings? I don't want what happened to Arturo to happen to my precious boy." Of course. Arturo! I had taken so long without hearing his name. Flavio never mentioned his name again after his death. I'm so glad that hearing it right now after a very long time has no effect on me. I'm so glad I met Matt.
"With all due respect Mrs.D, what happened to Arturo had nothing to do with my feelings. It was a fault of his own feelings and decisions. I won't let Matt suffer the same fate. I'll protect him and make sure he always knows I'm here for him." I'm so glad I've let go of the self-loathing I've felt all these years. I can finally understand that his death wasn't my fault. I can finally be at peace.
"You're speaking like you're going to be with my Matt forever."
"I plan on marrying him and having lots of children with him."
" With unnamed feelings?"
"We don't rash into matters of the heart. Sooner or later. What I feel for Matt will have a name and I will make him the happiest person in the world." She loudly sipped her tea for what seemed like an eternity before speaking again.
"The age gap between you and him is smaller than mine and Josè" was all she said as she stood up to hug Matt who had just walked in at that fateful moment.
I glanced up at Matt, happy that Mrs.D had approved of me pursuing Matt, who by the way had a dark pink hue covering his cheeks.
He sat next to Mrs.D who had completely forgotten about scolding him and telling me what message my mom left and was just pampering him.
Once Mrs.D left to refill the teapot, Matt looked straight into my eyes and asked a question that piqued my interests in a certain mercenary's love life.
"Is there something going on between Felix and Manuel?"
Now what would Manuel want with Flavio's right hand man who is also the strongest Omega I've ever come across. This is going to be interesting.
