Damien

Having Tatum in my home, eating dinner with my omega mother, feels so right, I wish I hadn’t promised her I’d date other omegas. I don’t need more time to decide. And if the way Tatum looks at me is any indication, he doesn’t either. At the end of this week, I’m going to pop the question.

At ten o’clock, after we’ve chatted and laughed for a few hours at the table, we drive Tatum and his mother home. She’s a delight as well. Her humor is dry, and she has a magnetic confidence. She doesn’t forget what’s going on even once during our dinner, which gives me a better idea of how her short-term memory loss works. I’ve read a lot about it in the last week, and I’ve asked Tatum quite a few questions, but interacting with her for a few hours is helpful.

Gwen slips into the house first when I walk them to the door, turning back to tell us “not to hurry” with a flirty little wink.

The porch light is on, and my mother is watching, so things can’t get too frisky. Tatum doesn’t seem all that interested in a kiss either. He’s staring at me from head to toe, as if he’ll never get to see me again.

“What’s on your mind?” I ask.

“Oh, I just… you’re wonderful, Damien.”

It’s amazing how three words can make my heart soar. I’ve spent my adult life taking care of different omegas, never understanding why an alpha would want to spend the rest of their life with only one. At first, the idea of giving up my work as a heat companion was painful. But if I could be with Tatum, I don’t think I would mind as much. I’d love to spend the rest of my life taking care of no one but him.

“I’d like to make a decision at the end of this week,” I confess, kissing his knuckles. “Do you think that would be too soon?”

His eyes widen, and a tentative smile comes to his face. Then he glances away, and his face falls. “Okay. I understand.”

“Tatum, I—”

He opens the door and nods to me. “Have a good night, Damien.”

“If it’s too soon—”

He shuts the door in my face.

Did I do something wrong? I thought the evening went well. I head back down the driveway to where my mother is parked and climb inside the passenger’s seat.

“He just slammed the door in your face. What did you do?” she asks.

“I don’t know.”

She backs up and begins the drive home. “What did you say just now? Right before he shut the door?”

“I told him I wanted to make my decision this weekend.”

She glares at me. “Exactly like that?”

“Yes. How else was I supposed to say it?”

She flips her blinker on as she turns out of the trailer park. “Does he know you intend to pick him?”

“I’m sure he has a good idea. We’ve had coffee together every day for a week, and tonight’s dinner—”

“Does he know you haven’t spent
