Chapter 146: On One Condition

(ARLO)

"I’m sorry we didn’t get a honeymoon. Sasha wasn’t thrilled with the idea of me taking off with the merger happening." Miles says.

"It’s alright." I turn my back on him. "I understand his reasons for wanting you here."

Much as I’m trying to say all the right things, it seems to me like Miles is sensing some underlying disappointment in my expression. He moves closer to me and turns me to look at him. "Are you upset that we didn’t go away just the two of us?"

I shrug. "I mean, that would have been nice. But it’s not like this is a real marriage anyway."

"It is very real to me." He frowns.

I grimace. "Even though you were forced into it?"

He runs his thumb on the side of my cheek. "It might have started like that, Arlo. But I’m glad that I’m your husband after all."

A bright shade of pink travels up his cheeks. "I’m happy that I’m your husband too."

He studies me for a few seconds then says, "You know what, I’m going to tell Sasha that we are taking two days off. We deserve it, right?"

I jerk my head up. "We do. I mean... you can tell him if you want to."

He nods. "It would be nice for us. The most time we’ve spent together alone was when we were running for our lives. It might be nice to finally get some time alone without the fear of my cousin coming after us."

I laugh. "You really want to spend some alone time with me?" I’d be lying if I said that I don’t want to spend some alone time with Miles.

"I do. I’ll talk to Sasha about it later today."

"Alright then." I stand on my toes and kiss him. It’s a warm ,happy little kiss that makes my heart flutter. When I pull away, he walks towards the door. "I’ll see you later tonight."

"Alright." I say. "Oh, and whatever you do, please don’t book a cabin in the mountains. I don’t care if I never see another pine tree in my lifetime."

"Tropical paradise it is." He laughs as he leaves the room.

***

Sasha isn’t happy about Miles’s request, but Miles sticks to his guts and takes me away for two days. I that he might change his mind because he never disputes Sasha’s orders. But he didn’t. He insists on taking two days away from work and everybody else so that we can spend some alone time together.

We are lying on a white sandy beach as the gentle sun warms our skin. The scent of suntan oil and the ocean makes me happy. But what makes me happier is the fact that Miles is beside me. He looks sexy in the pair of blue and white swim trunks that he has on. I had the pleasure of applying sunscreen on that big burly frame of his. We almost didn’t make it to the beach because of how turned on we were.

Miles is sipping a beer and I’m having a cider. It feels like forever since I’ve been to a beach. I’ve never been to Hawaii either. It’s off season, so the beach isn’t so crowded. I like that it isn’t because I’m not a big fan of crowds.

There’s however one family with us at the beach. They are miles away from us though. They have two boys, one looks like a five year old and the other one younger. They are chubby and giggly, and I find myself watching them a lot.

I haven’t decided on whether to keep the baby I’m carrying. Part of me wants to keep it, reason being that it is Miles’s and the idea of terminating it unsettles me. But the idea of being a dad when not ready equally unsettles me. "What was your mother like?"

"She died giving birth to me." Miles frowns

"Oh," I wince. "I’m sorry I forgot that fir a moment. I just happened to be curious about your mum as I was watching that lovely family down the beach."

He is silent for a moment then says, "I actually saw a video of her when she was pregnant with me."

"You did?" I ask while studying him. I cant help but notice a little melancholy as he stares out in the ocean.

"Yeah. My dad used to watch it in the wee of the night. He used to get drunk and watch that video over and over again." He frowns. "Then he’d walk upstairs to my room and take out all the frustration he had on me."

"Asshole."

He sighs. "I mean...I understand why he’d be that upset, but I didn’t ask to be born."

"It’s only a jerk who’d blame the baby for his mother’s death."

He smiles weakly. "I’m the reason she died though."

I look at him. "No, Miles. You aren’t."

"I know logically that I’m not. But I’d be pretty upset too if you died birthing our baby. I finally get why my dad got so bitter until he was damaged." He murmurs.

"No." I touch his arm. "Even though it isn’t common, some omegas die while giving birth to their children. But I find blaming the baby awkward . The omega would definitely want the father to nurture the child in that instance. Do you think that your mother would have wanted your father to abuse you even once? I doubt that."

He meets my gaze. "I know. You are right. She wouldn’t have wanted that. I could tell from the video that she was a gentle soul. I wish I met her. My life wouldn’t have sucked so much had she lived. It would have been different."

My heart pains for him. I know that he isn’t just whining. He is speaking facts that he has probably told no one else. His life would have turned out so differently has she lived. "Maybe you wouldn’t have become Sasha’s second if you mother lived."

"Yeah."

I hesitate. "Then you wouldn’t have met me."

He scowls and reaches for my hand. His palm covers my lithe fingers completely. His palm is warm against my hands. "I dont like thinking about that."

"But it’s the truth though."

"Not exactly. See, if we are fated mates we ould have met under different circumstances."

"Maybe, but fate is fate. Either way, in glad it brought us together."

His attention turns to the kids playing down the beach. I am certain that he is now thinking about my pregnancy. He is silent though. One thing that I appreciate about Miles is that he never pushes me to make decisions. He is giving me time and letting me come to my own decision whether im keeping the child or not. I assumed that maybe he would bully me, maybe he would try and change my mind on what I decided. But he hasn’t. Not once.

We stay in the beach for a little while longer. Soon, we head back into the hotel room. "We should take a shower before we rest."

"Sure," he says, stepping closer. I look at his hazel eyes all wide and twinkly. I would give him everything he wants now. He is so goddamn irresistible. The thought of showering together with him in here sounds like the best idea evet. Naturally, he would fuck me senseless on here. It’s not like I dont want it either. "On one condition though."

I look at him, almost certain that I know what his condition is then ask, "and what would the condition be?"

"I get to wash you."

"well, i can work with that." My breathing begins to hitch. I hate that never seem to control my lusty thoughts around him. My eyes I’m sure are now selling me out. My nerves burn with anticipation.

"Good. Because you have no option." He smirks. "I love that swim trunk you have on, but you wont need it anymore love. Now strip."
