But I kept my tone casual. “Clothingchoices are usually part of flirting and sending signals to prospectivepartners. This isn’t the right setting for something like what you’re wearing,so naked is probably the best option. Unless you have an appropriate bathingsuit?”
He wouldn’t go for something too skimpy,but I had a feeling he’d look sexy in something short and just tight enough toshow off his package.
Bradley kept his gaze focused outside,seemingly lost in some kind of mental debate. When he finally nodded, I had afeeling I was making progress wiggling inside his well-reinforced walls.“That’s a reasonable argument.”
It was a terrible argument and we both knewit.
“But that means you’ll be naked too andeven practice flirting can cause certain reactions.” He wasn’t blushing ornervous, so I had to assume it wasn’t the idea of being erect he had an issuewith.
Taking a leap, I nodded. “Yes, you’reright. And you wouldn’t want to humiliate your student by pointing out how you’rehelping me. So I think the only way to handle it will be to let everyone assumeI’m so turned on by my sexy teacher I can’t control myself.”
Inching closer, I moved behind him so I waspressed against his back. As we both watched everyone playing, he slowly relaxedinto me as he said, “Humiliating anyone isn’t something I would enjoy.”
“I agree.” I leaned down just enough so mybreath was brushing against his neck as I spoke. “The only thing I want is toplease my omega. Flirting, teasing, spankings depending on what he’s into, butI’d never want to do something that embarrassed him unless he was into that.”
“He’s not.” The short, stern reply made megrin. He’d said that a little too fast to be completely believable. Buthopefully we’d be able to come back to that topic at another time.
“Good to know.” I lightly blew against hisneck, causing a little shiver to race through him. “But some submissive omegasdon’t mind being teased and touched when they’re around people they trust…saylike a club or at a very private pool.”
I felt him swallow and he was close enoughthat I could feel the way his mind was racing as the stress flowed through himin waves. “That could describe a lot of submissive omegas, yes, but only if thebehavior was genuine and from someone trustworthy.”
So nervous and so damned straitlaced…howwould he scream out his pleasure when he was knotted? Would he still be thatreserved or would his guard finally drop when he was needy and desperate?
Closing the last inch, I kissed his neckgently. “Any real Dom worth his salt would never give an omega reason to doubthis trustworthiness. Look at those alphas out there. Every one of them woulddie before damaging the trust their omegas have given them. A real Dom knowshow strong someone has to be to submit.”
How badly had his relationships gone tomake him this careful?
“They’re not always easy to find.”
His quiet words cut right to my heart. “Imight be rusty with flirting, but I willneverdeliberately hurt you.”
Bradley didn’t respond with words, but he tiltedhis head, exposing his neck. I knew a silent demand for attention when I sawone, so I kissed his neck again. Exploring the column, I gently nibbled,chuckling when he gave a quiet moan. Someone liked a bit of pain with theirpleasure.
Flicking my tongue over the tender skin, Iworked my way lower until I was at the base of his neck where I nipped andexplored what sensations he liked. As he melted into me, making the mostdelicious sounds, I moved my hands to his sides, gently resting them against hisbody.
When he didn’t show any indication that mytouch was unwanted, I stroked along his torso and down to his hips. I kept mytouch light so he wouldn’t feel trapped, but I loved the feel of his strongbody under my hands.
I could tell he went to the gym, but therewas just enough softness to him to show how many hours he put behind the deskat work. He was perfect. I’d dated a few omegas and even a handful of betas whospent every waking hour worrying about how they looked and it made datingdifficult. I wanted their thoughts on what we were doing, not how their asslooked.
As I kissed his neck, listening to his sexymoan, I smiled. “I was disappointed last time when you didn’t get in the pool.”
He chuckled as he seemed to be fightingback another sound of pleasure. “I got in the pool.”
“Austin throwing you in doesn’t count.”
He groaned at the memory. “He’s such anasshole.”
“But it did give me a great look at yourass.” I shifted my hands so my fingers trailed over the sides of his ass as Icaressed him. “And the fire in your eyes as you went after Austin was hot.”
His face actually heated that time. “Heknows how to push my buttons.”
Evidently the stern sub didn’t like lookinglike a teenager fighting with his best friend. That explained why Austin wasconstantly trying to drive him nuts.
“But you’re so cute when he does it.” Ichuckled when he gave an embarrassed groan. “You realize when you get naked outthere and they see how you make me react, he’s going to thoroughly enjoydriving you crazy.”
Bradley huffed like he was already workingup to being stern and offended. That could be cute, but I didn’t want the guysto think my advances were unwanted. “But watching you squirm and growl at himwhile I play with you under the water is going to be erotic. He’ll be sodistracted, I bet he forgets to tease you. I think he’ll go demand attentionfrom Silas if we turn him on.”
I’d guessed that because of the club hewouldn’t have too much of an issue with playing in front of his friends, andjudging by the shiver that raced through him I was right. “Under thatno-nonsense exterior you’re a wicked exhibitionist, aren’t you? A naughty omegawho wants to be shown off and teased.”
