His Dominant Omega Jarrett, J. (ebook reader with highlighter .txt) 📖

easy conversation. Cole was a funny guy. He cracked the lamest jokes, but they were cute how he delivered them. Josef’s cheeks ached from smiling so much.

Cole liked to use his hands when he talked, and he looked so animated. He also liked to touch. More than once Josef dropped his tools when the searing touch of the other man landed on his arm. Josef was relieved when Dave finally called work for the day. Any more time spent with Cole in his half-dressed and sweat-covered condition, Josef would be on his knees pulling out Cole’s cock to feast on.

He just needed to get the other man home safe and sound without jumping him. Josef thought that might be something more easily said than done.

Chapter Four

Josef pulled up to Cole’s apartment and parked in front. He didn’t turn off the engine. He didn’t want Cole to think he expected anything for driving him home or for fixing his truck.

“Well, thanks again for my truck and for driving me around today,” Cole said. He turned in his seat, and Josef gazed into his vibrant emerald eyes.

“It was no problem.” Josef waved off his praise. “I enjoyed it.” “You enjoyed it?” Cole tilted his head, and Josef feared the man could see right into his brain and read all the dirty thoughts he was having.

“Um…yeah,” was the only intelligent thing he could muster to say, and that was better than nodding or pointing.

Cole’s smile fell from his lips, and he scooted a little closer to Josef. Josef held his breath when Cole reached out his hand and ran a finger down the side of his face. His eyes blinked shut at the soft contact.

“I enjoyed it, too.” Cole’s whispered words met his ears just seconds before his lips touched Josef’s.

Josef slowly started to move his lips against Cole’s. The world seemed to stop. Cole’s tongue eagerly pushed at his mouth, wanting entrance, and Josef wasn’t one to refuse such a simple request.

All too soon Cole pulled away. “Shit. I didn’t mean for that to happen.” Cole wiped his hand across his lips.

Josef coughed to clear his throat. “It’s okay, really.” He wanted to calm Cole down. If Cole got too worked up, there wouldn’t be another kiss following that one.

“No, it’s not.” Cole laughed without humor. “You’re my boss, and I’m also not looking for a boyfriend right now.” He blew out a hard breath. “Let’s just forget this ever happened.”

Ouch! Cole’s cold statement was like a punch to the nose. He thought the kiss was earth shattering. Fireworks exploded behind his eyes at the first brush of lips against lips. The way Cole was into the kiss there was no way he could have faked that. Cole pursued him, not the other way around, and now the man wanted to pretend like it never happened.

“Sure,” was all he could say in response.

Cole smiled at him one more time then got out of the truck. Josef pulled back onto the main road and got stopped by the next stop light. He rubbed at the pain in his chest. That one kiss was enough for Josef to realize he wanted more. But Cole shut that down. He said he wasn’t looking for a boyfriend.

A car horn blared behind him, and he looked up to see the light had turned green. He looked in his rearview mirror and waved an apology to the woman behind him. Motion in the mirror caught his attention, and he pulled off to the side of the road.

He watched as two very large and very handsome men approached Cole. Cole must have known them and took off running in their direction and jumped into one of the men’s open arms. The other man came around to hug Cole from behind. It was a like human sandwich with Cole in the middle.

What the fuck! Josef ground his teeth together. His pulse pounded at his temples. Now he saw how it was. It wasn’t that Cole didn’t want to date. It was just Josef he didn’t want to date. And to pile on top of an already shitty situation, Cole apparently was dating someone else. No, check that. Two someone else’s.

Josef checked for oncoming traffic and spun his tires as he raced down the road. He didn’t care if Cole saw him or not. He was hurt, and he needed to put as much distance between him and the other man as possible.

He felt like such an idiot. It had only been two days. Why was he so affected by this one man?

His phone started to ring as he pulled into the driveway. He looked down and saw Jensen’s number flashing across the screen. A grin curved his lips. Jensen might not be the man he wanted to be with but he sure as hell would help take his mind off of Cole.

* * * *

Cole got out of Josef’s truck feeling like an idiot. He let himself give into his desires and kissed him. It was stupid of him to do, but after working alongside the man all day he had so much pent-up aggression that he had to unleash. Granted he didn’t mean to release it all over Josef’s mouth, but Cole wasn’t perfect. Josef was his mate, so it helped him not feel as guilty or slutty for throwing himself at his boss but it still wasn’t fair to Josef. He could see that the other man desired him, and if Cole wasn’t going to claim his mate, then he had no business leading him on. He wasn’t saying he’d never claim Josef, just not right now. He needed time to figure out his fucked-up life.

A familiar high-pitched whistle had him spinning on his heels. Cole’s brooding mood quickly shifted to elation.
