His baby wakes up sobbing, comes out of the bedroom and makes a beeline for Preston. Heâs naked. Preston turns him back around and takes him back to the bedroom, has him sit down and hands him his pillow to hold onto while he stares blankly into space.
âYouâre good, sweetheart,â he says, and kisses the top of his head.
Michael sighs heavily, collapses forward so heâs pressed into Preston.
âLet me get you something to wear,â he says.
Michael nods. Preston can feel him watching him the entire time. Like heâs half expecting Preston to disappear. He dresses him in his boxer briefs, a pair thatâs too small and which he should have gotten rid of but sort of kept for emergency purposes. Heâd been thinking laundry crisis, not omega in distress, but here they are. He gets Michael into his underwear and into his robe and tries to figure out if thatâs going to be enough.
âWhat are you thinking?â Preston canât stop touching his face, needing Michael to see him, really fixate on him and connect with where he is and why. Preston knows it wonât always be like this, that this is just a weird mix of hormones and submissive patterns shoving to the surface, ramped up and exacerbated by years of repression magnifying his more submissive traits, but god damn itâs debilitating for Michael. If a threat came in right now theyâd both be dead.
Itâs horrible and emotional and Michael is gone, sunk inside himself and regressed into his primal omega self. Submissive self. He clutches onto Preston.
âWhy would you keep me, alpha?â Michael finally asks, lower lip trembling.
âBecause youâre mine now. All mine.â He knows the words arenât really going in. Michael reeks of anxiety. Heâs been covered in Prestonâs scent, and come, heâs dressed in his alphaâs things and it still isnât enough. Preston goes to his closet. Michael said he didnât like the bolts, didnât want to be tied up but thatâs the answer for this. Itâs primal.
Instinct. Preston should try.
He pulls down the leather collar he bought for his omega. Just one of those things heâd hoped that one day heâd use. Itâs still wrapped. A large pale blue silk bow. He takes it to the bed. Michael blinks at it.
âAlpha?â
âI bought this for my omega. Iâve had it for two years, sweetheart. Do you understand? I bought it hoping to find the person whoâd wear it and now I have. alpha has been waiting for you. Of course I wonât let you go. Open the box, baby.â
Michael pulls the ribbon free, sniffling quietly. Heâs chewing on his bottom lip absently and a tear drop falls onto the box. He lifts the lid off and glances at Preston. âItâs very expensive, alpha.â
âYes, it was. My omega deserves the best.â
Michael carefully plucks the Bottega Veneta sticker and then parts the tissue paper. The collar is brown leather and woven. Preston is expecting enthusiasm, is already reaching for it to help him put it on. Michael isnât saying anything, his scent isnât changing.
