Chapter 10
He walked back out to the car with Liam, hand covering his. He felt awkward asking about it, but as Liam’s Alpha, and… boyfriend? He felt he had a right to know about “Uncle” Brett. He knew that the man was an Alpha, and he knew that Liam was close with him, but scenting? That went far, even for someone who isn’t a packmate. Maybe Brett thinks him and Liam are packmates, which is why he scented him.
He hadn’t realized that they had stopped walking, Liam standing in front of him.
“What’s the matter, T?” He asked, arms going up and around his neck.
He looked at Liam, really looked at him, and saw that he looked happier now. Happier that his parents were gone and out of the house. He ran his hands down and along his sides, moving over his waist and hips, landing on what was his.
“Brett scents you?” He asked, and Liam blushed a little.
“I didn’t know he was doing that, but yes, he did. He did it when I had nightmares. I haven’t had one in a long time though.” Liam explained, but it still didn’t make Theo feel any better.
“But… were you… with him?” Theo asked, and Liam looked down at the ground, scuffing his shoe.
“Oh, my god. You used to date Brett. That’s why he’s so possessive of you.” Theo felt his eyes start to burn red, started to feel the shift take over.
“I’m not with him now, my love. It was a year ago that we broke up, but the break up was mutual.” Liam said, and Theo looked at him.
“He still thinks you’re apart of his pack, Li. He doesn’t care, broken up or not, he wants you to be apart of his pack, apart of his life.” Theo explained, and Liam huffed, lips jutting out into a pout.
“But, I want to be your beta…” He mumbled, and Theo’s wolf on the inside preened.
“And I appreciate that, and I love that. But he still wants you. And even though we’re together, there’s still going to be a part of you that loves him.” Theo said, and Liam looked like he was going to cry again.
“But… I love you.” Liam said, looking him in the eye, the betas eyes flashing between blue and yellow, responding to the crimson red ones.
“I know that, and I love you too. But you still have love for Brett. And that’s okay, I understand, I just hope that I’m enough.” Theo says, and Liam hugs him.
“I am in love with you. I am not in love with Brett. Yeah, I used to be. First boyfriend and what not, but I don’t love him like that anymore. We moved past it. He may have lingering feelings, but I don’t.” Liam said, and his heartbeat never skipped, never showed any signs of a lie.
“That’s good to know.” Theo said.
“Mhm, now, can we get to your place so you can get your cock in me?” Liam asked, and Theo laughed, nodding.
He took them both home and decided when they reached the top of the stairs he was gonna carry Liam. He grabbed Liam and carried him bridal style to the door, expertly working his hands to unlock the door and get it open, pushing it closed with his foot once they were inside. He carried Liam up to his bed and tossed him onto it, Liam smiling so big and wide at him. Liam shimmied up the bed, laying his head on the pillow, starting to undress himself.
Theo did the same, starting with his shirt, then his belt and his pants, then his underwear. He had already kicked off his shoes. Theo turned to Liam, finding him now on his stomach with his hips in the air. Theo doesn’t think he’s seen a view quite like that in a while.
He went and grabbed lube, snapping the cap open, running some down along his fingers.
“No condoms?” He asked, and Theo looked up.
“Werewolves can’t transmit or catch any disease.” He said, and Liam nodded a bit, relaxing.
Theo took his time opening Liam up, one finger slowly after the other, but moving them quickly to stretch him open.
“Babe, babe, I’m ready, please.” Liam got out, broken gasps. Theo wanted to hear it all day.
He pulled his fingers out, lubing himself up, then getting into the right position, and sliding in.
It felt like it did the first time. Heavenly.
“Oh my god you’re so big I don’t think it’s gonna fit.” Liam said, and Theo just smiled. It had been a while since they had done it, but it went in every other time, so there was no need to worry.
“I’m almost all the way in, sweetheart.” Theo said, pushing the rest of it in, Liam’s hole swallowing it greedily.
“There you go, my love, just like that.” He soothed, starting a slow rhythm.
Liam eventually grew tired of the rhythm though, and took matters into his own hands. He somehow managed to flip over, then flip Theo onto his back.
“You weren’t going fast enough.” He explained, and started riding Theo like there was no tomorrow.
Wow.
---------------------------------------------------------
Theo looked over at Liam when they finished, both of them panting. Liam had his hair everywhere, his lips were bright red, and he had hickeys littering his collarbone and neck. Theo smiled a little smugly. He knew they would heal eventually, but since they were inflicted from an alpha, him, they’d take longer to heal.
“That… was… awesome.” Liam said between breaths.
“Hell yeah it was.” Theo said, smiling at him.
Liam smiled back, then laid his head against the pillow. He closed his eyes, moving so he was pressed against Theo, and Theo wrapped his arm around Liam, pulling him so his head was on his chest.
“You’re so amazing, it’s not fair.” Liam said softly, and Theo smiled, kissing the top of his head.
“I’m just the boyfriend.” He said, and Liam whipped his head up, staring at him.
“My amazingly hot and sweet boyfriend who loves me and takes care of me and provides for me.” He said, and Theo smiled more.
“You also forgot sugar daddy in the title.” He said, and Liam rolled his eyes.
“You’ll be a daddy one day, promise.” Liam said, and Theo startled.
Liam wanted kids with him.
Liam wanted kids.
Kids.
Liam.
His brain short circuited.
“Kids?” He asked, and Liam nodded.
“I’ve always wanted kids. Obviously not right now, but maybe in a few years.” Liam said, and Theo settled down.
He could work with a few years. They’d be squared away money wise, and they’d have a house. He just needed to be ready emotionally. He loved kids, but he had never thought about having his own.
It was a scary thought.
-----------------------------------------------------
“You have a daddy kink.” Theo said, flat out, and Liam’s eyes widened.
“What? No. I do not. That’s weird. That’s weird, Theo.” Theo just raised an eyebrow.
“Liam.” He said.
Liam looked down, scuffing his feet again.
“I mean, yeah, but I keep it to myself. I don’t say it out loud. No one likes it, and no one says it. So, no.” He looked up at Theo, and Theo smiled.
“I kinda like it.”
And Liam gasped.
----------------------------------------------------------
It had gotten to be around seven that evening when there was a knock on his door. Liam was in the shower, so he went to check it himself. He checked through the peephole to find, you guessed it, Brett. He grumbled but opened the door.
“What?” He asked.
“I need to talk to Liam.” Brett said. Theo raised an eyebrow.
“You couldn’t have texted him?” He asked, and Brett deadpanned him.
“This is better to be asked in person, not over text.” He said. Theo still didn’t let him in until he heard Liam come down the stairs, clad in a hoodie and some shorts.
“Oh, hi, Brett!” Liam said, and Brett broke out of his glare with a fond smile on his face.
“Hey, Li. Can I come in?” He asked, and Liam nodded, grabbing Theo by the arm and dragging them into the living room.
Theo stopped at a chair, grabbing Liam by the waist and sitting them down, Liam in his lap, arms wrapped protectively around him. Brett sat down on the couch, splaying his legs, and Theo watched Liam’s eyes dart from there to Brett’s face. It’s okay, he would have done it too if he didn’t hate Brett.
“So, what’s up?” Liam asked, and Brett looked Theo square in the eye.
“I came to ask you on a date. Just you and I. Alone. In a restaurant.”
Theo swears he’s never been up faster.
“Are you fucking delusional?” He asked, Liam’s hands on his chest holding him back.
“I want to hear an answer from Liam himself.”
Liam grumbled.
“We can go. As friends. And I bring my boyfriend with me. No exceptions.” Liam said, and Brett raised an eyebrow.
“I mean, I guess. Can’t say I’ll keep my hands to myself. You used to love that, getting me off in public, me getting you off in public. Was my favorite pass time.” Brett said, and Theo flashed his eyes, Brett doing the same.
“Brett… Stop. Please.” And he did.
Huh.
Then it clicked.
Brett obviously had an anchor to bring him down from situations, or away from a situation.
Liam was the anchor.
Well, fuck.
