Chapter 22 - I am not what you think I am: Part 2

Tatum spoke in that low sexy voice of hers. "I'm going to turn around for a bit okay"

She turned around to face her back toward Andrew, and then removed her T-shirt to reveal a soft smooth unmarred back; she was even more like a gymnast than Andrew had imagined beneath her clothing, she had a lean muscle tone and not a speck of fat. She spoke again "breathe slowly Mr Pearce through your nose"

There is a very small chance you might smell something but almost no one can. And if they do all they smell is a slight air freshener tinge.

Andrew did as instructed he slowly breathed in through his nose and slowly the most alluring and seductive scent he had ever smelled filled his nostrils and made his whole body ache with sexual desire, he had never in his life had such a strong reaction to a scent, it made him want to rip his clothes off and ravage the woman in front of him, but it also stopped him from doing just that like a silent command issued via the scent.

What the...?

What is this scent, it's like nothing I've ever experienced,

I have to say I usually smell Gardenias and fresh-cut grass when you're around,

But this is on another level

It was like the scent was emanating from Tatum's neck and back even more so than a normal omegas scent would. But at the same time, it was like the scent had control over his actions.

He wanted to devour her, mark her, make her his immediately his body was screaming at him that she was his and only his, but at the same time his brain told his body to stay perfectly still, the command was absolute like he was being dominated by an outside force and that force exerted a will stronger than his own.

But Alphas are the Dominant Species are they not, how is this even possible?

He was baffled and intrigued he wanted her even more. He stared at Tatum waiting for her next words; he couldn't even move a finger.

"Mr Pearce, please listen to me"

"M all earsss T-tatum" He ground out through a clenched Jaw, he was so sexually aroused it was hurting and his muscles refused to move so speaking was very hard right now.

"I hope you can listen before jumping to conclusions about me. I am an omega

I was not hired to seduce you, as that is not possible even though I am an omega I cannot seduce anyone. There is just one exception and that would be my fated match or a more romantic terms my soul mate.

Almost no one can smell my pheromones like I said but the exceptions are Dominant alphas and my compatibility match or soul mate, that person would be able to scent me fully but also be able to be seduced or put into rut by me and I would be able to go into heat. I have never had sexual relations, kissed anyone or had any intimate interludes as I cannot seduce anyone if I emit my seduction pheromones it does the opposite by nullifying any form of arousal, But since I've met you my nullification seems to be a thing of the past, The first day we met you got aroused even with my pheromone released – Blush

That is to say, you didn't get turned off; you actually seemed to get more aroused.

Let me get to the point and explain further.

My Omega variant is not the normal or dominant variant…

I am known as a Recessive Omega but it's even more complicated than that let's just leave it recessive for now.

As a Recessive Omega, I have more control over my emotions and pheromone production than any normal or dominant omega could ever have, I choose to hide my trait because no other alpha has ever been able to scent my pheromones fully, even Mr Down only thought it was air-freshener like."

"I can excrete commands of submission and negate aggression if I so choose, It is not a common trait in recessive or dominant Omegas but as I grew up with only Dominant Alphas in my house I perfected the trait like I said 99% of the time my scent is undetectable you seem to be the exception to the rule the 1% if you think about it."

You have smelt my scent these past two months; even if you couldn't smell it like betas it would affect you any way I wanted except for seduction.

I am just not sure how much you can scent it; this is why I have decided to do a full release now to make 100% sure. At your reaction and words, I now know that you can fully scent my release.

I am sure of it and as a result…

"This is the bit where you might lose your cool"

As a result, my pheromones have slowly calmed your mind and rewired your shocked nerves to negate the effects of the trauma you experienced and still held onto for the last 10 years.

If you think about it I'm sure you'll come to realise that every time you've been with me and your trauma got triggered or you got enraged you surprisingly felt better from either my touch or proximity even if you couldn't scent me, it still effectively triggered a dopamine release and even if you didn't become a happy idiot your anger still frizzled out each time, you must be aware that slowly you have become less stressed and your trauma has started to recede and you feel lighter than before.

He just stared at Tatum, not Angry and not really upset, just with intense interest.

"This is why I had to work for you without you being aware of my being an omega"

He forced his muscles to work – T-tatum releassss me… Pleasss

Tatum looked into his eyes gauging the intensity in them.

If you attempt to get physical I will seize your muscles and immediately leave Mr Pearce. Your muscles will regain mobility after 30 minutes if I don't release you myself.

I-i-i Pro-misss not too ugh. His jaw hurt from trying to speak

I will only release your muscles, but you WILL remain where you are! *it was a command voiced but the control wasn't in the words it was in the scent.

He suddenly smelled the Gardenia in full bloom again but he could also feel his muscles relax completely becoming his again to use. He moved his jaw and clenched and unclenched his hands, but his feet remained rooted to the spot. It was the oddest thing.

Tatum...?

Tatum – "I've been about halfway sure that you are an omega since the moment we met," Andrew said with surety

"Even though you are an omega I do not find your scent repulsive like I find all other omegas nauseating, I actually really like your floral scent, it smells like gardenias in full bloom in spring mixed with freshly cut grass," He said softly while reaching out to touch Tatum's shoulder

Tatum was just in reach of him.

I am not upset, I promise, I actually had a very interesting conversation with my friend Dr Greg Hallet from the evolution foundation the man we are having dinner with tonight, about you.

So I half expected this, just not fully.

To be honest, I have been doing better in these last 2 months than in the last 10 years and I am eternally grateful even if you did it covertly you have really helped me, I am becoming more of a functional person and man daily. My trauma has started to fade and someday I don't even have nightmares anymore or think about what happened I have also been speaking and socialising with the guards and cleaning crews, you even had me able to go to the market, the amusement park and tonight we are meeting people to eat a restaurant, I really cannot be upset about it other than not being told who or what you are.

Did Jonathan know?

No, he only knows I'm an omega and I don't think he knows what recessive means for my variant, although I am slightly different than a normal recessive as well.

Tatum… I know

Excuse me?

You are a controller right?

Tatum's eyes went wide. Y-yes I am

Do you have other traits and abilities?

Mmm mmm

Will you tell me?

I will if you still want me to afterwards.

Afterwards?

" I have something else to tell you but I think this will be the breaking point; you need to remove your hand first, and promise not to lash out physically. You are bigger than me but you are NOT stronger than me." Tatum was speaking very low emanating worry

"What?... I would never hit a woman; I didn't even lash out at the female omegas that had me locked up." He ground out.

"Exactly why I'm asking you not to strike me Mr Pearce," She said more forcefully.

Huh?

If you do strike me you WILL injure yourself. One of my traits is pain induction it is automatically triggered if I am attacked. I do not want to hurt you. Other than that if you were to strike me and I hit back I could break your bones without meaning to.

Remember the amusement park hammer slam, it was not broken… I broke it.

I-i see!

"Okay I promise not to get physically violent, but what could you tell me that would warrant such a promise anyway."? He blurted out quickly

Tatum's pheromones had filled the whole house and it seemed that not only did it arouse him it calmed him.

"I am going to stop releasing my scent now so that you can be 100% cognitive with no mind-altering dopamine release."

I will also release you from my command; you will be fully yourself and have complete control.

"Tell me when you smell no more flowers."

Within seconds the house was scentless and Andrew could feel that he felt slightly less content but it really wasn't much. On a scale from 1 to 10, he would have to say he went from a calm 8 to a 6 so Tatum was surely over-exaggerating or was it something else?

"Okay, I can't smell anything"

He stared at Tatum's back; saw the slight twitch of her muscles underneath her smooth skin when she started to turn around.

With an odd sense of surety, he knew what she was going to say.

She turned fully with her arms folded across her chest then slowly looked up into his eyes and dropped her arms.

Andrew stared into her gaze and then looked down at her chest. Okay and? He asked confused

I'm a male – recessive omega Mr Pearce, I'm not a woman Tatum looked back at Andrew with moisture in his eyes and a trembling bottom lip then dipped his head to stare at the floor.

The smack he had been expecting didn't come; instead, a warm strong hand cupped his chin and cheek engulfing the side of his face in the heat, Andrew lifted Tatum's face up to stare into his deep brown eyes. Bending down he lowered his lips onto Tatum's and seized control of Tatum's senses, he kissed Tatum deeply exploring his lips and tongue while folding his arms securely around Tatum's naked back and pulling him towards himself. Their eyes remainder closed and their lips locked in this embrace for quite some time before Andrew lifted his head smiling softly down at Tatum's baffled face.

"I had a feeling you weren't a woman from the moment I saw your cute little nipples standing erect in your tank top." Andrew chuckled.

Confusion was written all over Tatum's face. "But you're not gay, are you?"

"No I'm not gay but for you, I can be anything, let's go have that swim, Tatum."

"Maybe I could wear my underwear," he whispered, and the husky timbre of his voice reverberated in Andrew's crotch. "If you don't mind," Tatum asked worriedly.

"I don't mind," Andrew said, trying to control the rush of blood heading south. Was Tatum messing with him now? Trying to ramp up the heat between them? Because it was totally working.

"I'll have to have a little chat with Jonathan later"

Tatum had to know where this was likely to lead.
