“I’m not. I’m leaving too.”
“Good.”
Leon patted him on the back as they walked toward the elevators to go up and get their things from their offices. Halfway through the elevator ride, Dimitrios' phone dinged with a new message and he smiled when he saw it was from Remi. Next to him, Leon laughed and shook his head.
Remi:Made it home. I left you a surprise. Check the kitchen counter when you get home
“The boyfriend, of course.” Leon said, as the doors opened.
As he walked out of the elevator and toward his office, Leon jerked one hand out to the side and made a whip sound.
“I’m not whipped.” Dimitrios defended as he paused to type his reply.
Leon just laughed and Dimitrios turned his attention back to his phone.
Dimitrios:A surprise? What is it?
Remi:If I tell you it’s not a surprise
Dimitrios:True enough. Where are you? In your nest?
He pictured Remi in his little nest with its bed sheet canopy and assortment of pillows and blankets and couldn’t help the smile on his face as he wondered if the omega was warm enough, if he had enough blankets to battle the chill away from his little, cold-natured body.
Remi:Yes. Are you still at work?
Dimitrios:Yes, but I’m about to leave. Why don’t you send me a picture of you in your little nest, Baby. I bet you’re pretty right now.
Dimitrios groaned at the image that he received of Remi in the low light of his bedside lamp. The omega was wearing a hoodie that Dimitrios was certain Remi must have taken from his closet. He felt strangely giddy about Remi using his closet as his own, and stealing his sweaters. That was the third one that he’d made off with already, and Dimitrios didn’t care in the least. He’d buy a million hoodies, just so Remi could steal them, if that made his pretty boy happy.
Remi was small and soft and lovely in the picture, his cheeks pink and his full lips in a slight pout. Dimitrios wished that Remi was in his bed, waiting, so the alpha could go home and slip into bed to pull the smaller body against him, letting Remi be his little spoon as he went to sleep.
Dimitrios:Oh fuck. Look how soft and pretty you look sweetheart. Do you feel better after your bath?
Remi:So much better. I probably won’t even be limping by the end of tomorrow.
That made Dimitrios relax a little bit. He didn’t want Remi to be in pain as a result of sex with him. Though he knew it was mostly the cold water locking up Remi’s muscles that had made him so sore. Dimitrios still felt bad. He promised himself that he’d take it easy tomorrow night if they ended up having sex.
Dimitrios:That’s good. I’m glad you’re feeling better, little one. I know you have to sleep, so I’ll let you go and I’ll see you tomorrow.
Remi:Goodnight Daddy
Dimitrios:Goodnight Baby
Dimitrios looked up from his phone to see Leon standing at the other end of the hallway, leaning against the wall and looking smug. As soon Dimitrios made eye contact with his friend, the other alpha repeated his little gesture and whip sound.
Okay, maybe Dimitrios was whipped, but that didn’t mean he had to admit it.
Later, as Dimitrios stepped into his apartment, he could tell that Remi had been there. He could faintly smell Remi’s scent, but more than that was the lingering scent of excellent food that had the alpha’s empty stomach growling.
Dimitros toed off his shoes and walked into the living room, flipping on lights. His eyes fell to the couch where Remi’s little nest had been, and the alpha frowned when he realized that his cleaning staff had cleared it away. In the kitchen he found a note on the counter from Remi.
‘Daddy,
I know you had a hard day at work, and will be hungry when you get home. I made dinner for you as a thanks for letting me use your bath. Just put it on the stove and heat it up.
See you tomorrow,
Remi’
