Chapter Nine
Blake
When Poe arrived at the restaurant, butterflies danced in my stomach. I’d never met an Omega who made me so excited just to have a dinner date and some conversation. My excitement was quickly crushed when I saw the expression on Poe’s face. He was distant and seemed a little sad.
“How was your day?” I asked after the waitress took our drink order. “You were really busy, right?” I tried to tell myself that perhaps he was just tired after a huge day at work.
“Business was good. Your picture has done wonders for my business,” he said, but a lot of his earlier enthusiasm had drained from his voice. He’d seemed so much more amped up about the business boom when I’d talked to him earlier.
“That’s great, Poe. I’m so glad I could help,” I said and smiled. I hoped that I could shake him out of his funk. “I knew you could do it. Cady said you’d just have to get people in the door.”
“It was pretty great,” he said flatly.
The waitress came and gave us our drinks. Poe thanked her, but I realized he wasn’t making eye contact with me. It was obvious that he was upset and wasn’t having a good time. I didn’t want that for him or us.
“Poe, I can tell something is wrong. Please just tell me what it is,” I pleaded.
“I was hoping this feeling would go away and we could just have a nice dinner, but it isn’t,” Poe started. “I don’t even know how to say this. I’ve never been in this position before.”
“Just be honest with me, Poe. You can always do that. Whatever is on your mind, you can tell me.”
“Okay,” he said and took a deep breath. “Blake, I’ve really enjoyed our time together, but things are moving too fast. I thought I was ready, but I’m really not looking for anything serious right now. You and I have great chemistry, so I think we could have some fun, but that’s all it can be right now. That might be all it can ever be. I think we should take a break from the relationship stuff.”
I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. I had no idea that Poe was having doubts about us, and I certainly hadn’t had any. In fact, I’d told Scott that I was going to turn down the Crypton contract because it was more important to me to see where things were going with Poe. I’d felt like he could be a permanent part of my life, and the Crypton job was just one contract. I knew there would be other modeling jobs, but there would never be another Poe in my life.
So, when he said that we needed to take a break, I felt like I’d been slammed in the chest. I was completely broadsided by the whole thing.
“I need a minute,” I said and stood up.
I felt like I was going to cry, and the last thing I wanted was to do that in front of Poe and the entire restaurant. I could go to the restroom and get a hold on my emotions, and then I could try to talk Poe out of this idea that we needed a break. Something wasn’t right. I could feel it, but I needed a minute before I could get to the bottom of it.
“Are you alright?” Poe asked quietly.
“I will be. Just give me a minute.”
I retreated to the bathroom to splash some water on my face. Thankfully, it was empty, so there was no one there to see the few tears I shed before I could collect myself.
When I was just about to go back out into the restaurant, the door opened and Poe came in. He looked around for a second and then locked the door behind him.
“I can’t let you go like that,” he said and crossed the room to me.
Next thing I knew, his lips were on mine and I’d pulled him into my arms. His hands began to roam all over my body. He grabbed my ass and then cupped my cock before fumbling with my fly.
“Poe? Here? Now? You want to fuck in a restaurant bathroom?”
He looked me right in the eye. “Yes. Don’t you?”
I didn’t have any answer except to help him unzip my pants and then pull out my cock. Poe was on his knees, licking and sucking on my head, before I even had time to think about what was going on.
He took me into his mouth as far as he could. I tried to resist the urge to thrust into him, but I couldn’t. I felt my cockhead hit the back of his throat, but Poe was so turned on that he just kept sucking me off even as he choked a little.
“Not like this,” I said and pulled him to his feet.
I spun him around and undid his pants. Poe dropped his slacks around his ankles. I pushed his shoulders forward so that he had to lean against the bathroom wall, and then it was my turn to drop to my knees.
Poe moaned as I pulled his ass cheeks apart and ran my tongue around his tight pucker. I dipped it in and tasted his sweet slick. He was so ready for me.
“You’re going to have to jerk yourself off,” I said. “I’m going to be too busy fucking that tight little ass.”
He moaned again at my words. I lined the tip of my cock up with his hole and then pushed in slowly. Poe came up off the floor onto his toes as I impaled him with my throbbing erection.
“More,” he whispered. “Fuck me like you hate me.”
I grabbed both of his hips with my hands and thrusted into him so hard that his chest slammed against the wall. His face was turned to the side, and before I could ask if he was okay, I could see that he was smiling.
“You like that?” I panted.
“Yes, Blake. Baby, fuck me so hard,” he begged.
Poe was fisting his cock hard and fast, so I timed my thrusts with his jerking. I wanted him to come so hard that I had to catch him when he was done. I knew that if I pulled him out from the wall just a bit I could get the right angle to hit his spot inside.
“Oh Blake,” he said as I rutted into him, hitting that sweet spot over and over every time I slid my dick in him to the hilt.
I could feel my balls slapping against him until they started to draw up. I was getting ready to come.
“I’m getting close,” I growled.
“Come then, Blake. Fill me up. And then let me taste you.”
That last part threw me over the edge. My cock twitched as I emptied my load into his tight ass. Poe started to climax too, and I could feel his muscles flexing around my erection. He milked me dry while shooting his own thick, hot ropes of cum all over the bathroom wall and floor.
When I was spent, I pulled out before my knot could rise. Poe made good on what he said about tasting me. As soon as my cock was out of his ass, he was on the floor licking my balls and shaft. He took the head into his mouth and sucked me clean until I was completely hard and ready to come again.
“We don’t have much time; someone is going to want to come in soon.”
He pulled back and my cock came out of his mouth with a pop. The friction and suction made me moan. “You want me to stop?”
“No,” I whispered. “But this isn’t fair.”
He hummed some sort of response that I couldn’t understand because his mouth was full of dick. I let him go for a couple more minutes and then pulled away. He let his teeth scrape lightly over my flesh, and it sent a shiver up my spine.
“Let me suck you,” I said.
I got down on my knees and took Poe’s cock into my mouth while I wrapped my hand around my own. There was no getting around it, I had to come again, but I could work my own cock while I pleasured my Omega.
Poe let out a loud cry when I took his shaft all the way into my mouth. He leaned back against the wall and seemed to drift off into a dream state while I licked and sucked him.
It wasn’t long before his dick started to twitch, and I tasted the sweet and salty flavor of his ejaculation on my tongue. I swallowed every drop with a smile and continued to jack myself off.
“Come on me,” Poe said, and he unbuttoned his shirt. After he peeled it off, Poe got down and I stood up. He took over fisting my cock while I watched his eyes.
When I started to come again, Poe opened his mouth and I watched as my ejaculation spurted all over his lips and chin. He licked his lips and angled my still-erupting dick at his chest. I painted him white while he sucked my jizz off his bottom lip.
I stood there, not believing how fucking hot that had been while Poe used some paper towels and the sink to clean himself up. Once we were both clean and dressed, I pulled him into an embrace.
“I’m so glad you changed your mind,” I said. “We should get back out there so I can buy you dinner.”
“Blake, I didn’t change my mind,” he said and pulled back. “That was fun, but it was goodbye. I wanted to show you that we could still fuck and have fun whenever you’re in town without needing a relationship.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, and it almost seemed like Poe didn’t believe what he was saying either. But I had no way to prove that. I figured I was probably just being stupid and didn’t want to let him go.
Poe was telling me he didn’t want to be with me, and I kept making excuses in my head. I knew right then that I had to stop being so pathetic.
“Fine. Just fun,” I muttered, but I didn’t want that.
“Thank you,” Poe said. “I hope modeling goes well for you, Blake. You can call me anytime you’re in town as long as it’s for a hookup. Just please don’t call me unless it’s a booty call, okay? I think we need some emotional space.”
“Okay,” I said.
“I’ll clean up. You should go,” Poe said, as if I were a one-night stand that had lingered in the bed a little too long. I guess that’s what I’d become.
The bathroom suddenly felt too small, and I fled. I didn’t feel like I could breathe again until I was outside and several blocks from the restaurant. I’d left my car behind but I didn’t care. I could always catch a cab back later. Right then, I needed air.
My phone rang a few minutes later, and it was Scott. I wasn’t going to answer, but then I figured why not? Things at the shelter were falling apart and I’d lost Poe. It felt like all I had left was my career.
“Hello.”
“Hey, Blake. Scott here. I’m glad I caught you. I just got off the phone with Heidi Crypton. She upped the offer by a half million dollars. They want you for their new model, and from what she said, if things go well the first year, you’re looking at a lot more money the second. Are you sure you want to pass this up?”
With that kind of money, I could save the shelter. I had to think about the animals and stop thinking about Poe. “Yes, I’ll do it.”
“Awesome,” Scott hollered. “I hoped you’d say that. Pack a bag, my friend. You’re leaving tomorrow morning for Switzerland. It’s all first-class and five-star hotels for you from now on, my friend.”
“Thank you, Scott. I appreciate how long you’ve been working at this for me.”
“It’s all paying off now, Blake. I’ll send a car to pick you up in the morning.”
After I got off the phone with Scott, I had to call Addie at the shelter. She needed to know that I wouldn’t be able to volunteer on the weekends for a while.
“Hey, Blake. What’s up?” Addie said when she picked up.
“Addie, I’ve got some news. I finally got that breakout modeling contract I’ve been waiting for.”
“That’s great, Blake. Why don’t you sound happy?”
“Well, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to come back to the shelter to volunteer again. I’ve got to leave tomorrow for Switzerland, and I don’t know how often I’ll even be home.”
“Don’t worry about it, Blake. I’ll fill in for you for a while. It will only be for a couple of months anyway. The board decided they aren’t even going to try and make up the shortfall in the shelter budget. They’re closing us down completely in two months. County Animal Control will pick up the slack.
“That’s not going to happen, Addie. Just give me some time. I’ll get you what you need,” I said.
“Really?” She started to cry.
“It’s the only reason I’m taking this job, Addie. Tell my babies I love them and I’ll be back to see them as soon as I can.”
