Chapter Text
Harry didn’t want to be there in this stupid bar on a Friday night.
He really really didn’t.
And he shouldn’t have to be there to begin with.
He was supposed to be home with his long-term omega, happy and mated and committed.
He wasn’t supposed to be 28, drinking alone in a bar and looking around feeling like someone had taken his heart and ripped it off his chest.
Well, not just someone.
Logan.
Logan Lerman.
Logan who had been his omega for 7 years before breaking his heart out of fucking nowhere and for absolutely no reason.
Harry sipped his drink, lost in thoughts.
He still couldn't believe it had happened.
(Still couldn't believe this was his life.)
¤ 3 weeks ago.
Harry was 28 years old and one of the big bosses of his company and he had it all.
He had the job, the money and the omega.
He truly was blessed in life.
He was currently working on his computer when someone knocked on his door.
The curly alpha looked up from his desk, smiling immediately when he saw who was there.
Logan.
His alpha rumbled happily in his chest, knowing his omega was near and safe.
“ Hi, baby.” he said, eyes on his boyfriend.
Smaller than him, vibrant blue eyes and dark hair fixed in a messy fringe.
He was so so beautiful.
Harry had met Logan 7 and half years ago, at a company party.
Logan was actually a professional dancer and he had been there as someone else's date but had left with Harry and had never gone home with anyone else ever again after that night.
Harry smiled to himself at the memory and then tilted his head while studying his boyfriend, Logan’s blue eyes looked sad and now that Harry could think about it...he smelled off.
Oh.
Something was wrong.
“ Are you alright?” asked Harry getting up and walking to his omega, one hand finding his cheek and Logan sighed, nuzzling there quickly and his scent was still off, Harry couldn’t quite put his finger on why.
“ We need to talk.” the omega said softly like it cost him to say.
Harry frowned, eyes raking over his face like he could just read there what was happening.
But he couldn't.
So he talked again.
“ About?”
“ Us.”
Harry frowned again and then he couldn’t help it anymore, he brought the omega to his chest and relaxed when Logan went pliant, nuzzling against his neck.
“Talk to me, my love.”
A long silence during which Logan seemed to want to disappear in Harry’s arms.
“ I got a job offer, Haz.” he finally admitted.
Harry moved back,
“ That’s amazing, baby!” he exclaimed cause he knew how much it was stressing Logan out to not have anything planned.
It had brought a bit of a stretch in their relationship these last few months.
The omega smiled sadly.
“ It's in New York. The job.” he sighed and took a little step back but it felt gigantic to Harry. "The NY international ballet want me to be their first dancer."
New York.
Harry swallowed dryly.
"How long?"
Another sigh.
"It's a two-year contract. At least."
Harry froze.
“Oh .” his brain was going fast, trying to come up with solutions. “Okay, I guess we could-” he shook his head, looking around for a second. "I'll go with you." he said, hands squeezing Logan's shoulders. "I can ask for a transfer and our office in New York is actually-"
Logan froze, this time.
“ No, H.”
And something in his tone…
Something was so final.
Harry’s alpha froze.
Something was off.
“ What do you mean, no?” he chuckled, unsure suddenly.
Logan took a deep shaky breath and took a step back.
“ You’re not coming with me, Harry."
What
The
Hell
“ Excuse me?” he almost growled.
Logan ran a tired hand on his face.
"I never wanted us to uproot our lives for each other."
Harry's alpha was pawing at his chest, whining.
This wasn't going like he had thought it would.
It couldn't be.
Logan couldn't mean-
No.
"Logan, we've been together for seven years."
Something sour suddenly appeared.
Logan.
"I know."
Harry's jaw clenched.
Because he knew what this was about.
They had a lot of fights about things like that over the years.
A lot.
Logan...
Logan was what could be called a very progressive omega.
The only reason why they were not mated after almost 8 years together was because the omega had never wanted to, cause he didn't want to belong to Harry in that way, and according to him they didn't need a bite to know they were committed to each other.
Harry – and his Alpha, had not been happy about this but whatever his omega wanted, his omega got.
So no bite.
And now that?
He shook his head, leaving his dark thoughts.
"So what?" he tried to remain calm. "We're having a relationship a fucking ocean away? How long would that work? How would we do for your heat or my rut or your nest!"
Tears were shining in the blue of Logan’s eyes.
That blue Harry had always loved so so much.
And then he understood.
Just like that.
It clicked.
It clicked and the world actually stopped.
"Logan..." he breathed, taking a step back and eyes wide.
The omega started panicking immediately, which didn't help Harry at all.
“ I – I need to do this.”
Harry was frozen, his alpha in utter shock.
It couldn’t be happening.
It just-
It just couldn’t be happening.
“ You need to break up with me?” he chuckled darkly, “You need to go fuck off on the other side of the ocean?”
A tear rolled down Logan’s cheek.
“ You knew who I was when we started this. You knew I was not like every omega-”
“You breaking up with me was never an option, though!”
A silence.
“I’m sorry.”
And no.
Not good enough.
“ So what? You don’t love me anymore?” he growled and Logan froze and moved back,
“ Please don’t growl at me.” he breathed, head down for a second. "I-"
"Do you not love me?"
"Of course I love you!"
"Then what the fuck are you doing?"
Logan's jaw clenched.
"I'm sorry." he took a step back and Harry caught his arm.
"Can we at least talk about it?"
Logan sniffled, removing his arms softly and looking devastated.
"I really am sorry, Harry."
And that had been it.
7 years of a perfect relationship over.
Just like that.
In a blink of an eye.
Harry had begged and had screamed and had tried.
God, he had tried.
But Logan had still left.
And here he was now...
Harry forced himself to get out of his head and looked around at the club again.
He scrunched his nose at the assault of smells, omegas and alphas, slick and sweat.
It was too much.
All of it was too fucking much.
Harry sighed deeply again and then saw the reason of his presence here tonight walking to him.
Niall Horan.
Niall Horan who was his second at the enterprise and probably the closest thing Harry had to a best friend.
Of sorts.
Fuck.
He remembered Niall’s intervention, two days ago.
¤ Two days ago
“ It has lasted enough, Haz.” said Niall softly as he came in, closing the door of the office behind him, and Harry clenched his jaw.
“ Don’t.” he warned.
He knew what this was about.
Logan had left three weeks ago and Harry was only the ghost of the alpha he had once been.
He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and could barely stand.
All of his time was spent wondering where his omega was, if he was safe, he if was eating, sleeping.
If he was spending time with other alphas.
Harry almost growled at the thought only.
But then, Niall was speaking again.
“ It’s almost been a month.”
Harry laughed darkly.
“ So my omega fuck off to another bloody country and I’m not allowed to grieve?”
Truth was...
Harry was devastated.
And his alpha couldn't understand what he had done wrong, pacing restlessly in his chest trying to understand why his omega had gone away.
Trying to understand what he had gone wrong and what he could have done to make Logan feel safe enough to stay with him.
To want to try.
To not leave.
It was torture.
Plain and simple.
Niall’s eyes were sad.
“ Of course you are.” he said, “But you need to start living again too, at one point.”
Harry scoffed, trying to hide the sting in his eyes.
"I'm living just fine."
"Harry-"
"I said I'm living just fine."
A small silence.
And then Niall sighed again.
"Fine." he finally said. "Then we're going out. Friday."
Harry looked up, panicked.
"What?"
Niall raised an eyebrow, looking way to smug.
"If you're living just fine you won't object to a night out?"
They challenged each other for a second.
"I'm not sleeping with anyone else."
He couldn't.
Not when he still had hope Logan would come back to him in the end.
(Even if the omega was still not answering to any of his calls or texts.)
(There was still time.)
"This is not what this is about." shrugged Niall.
Another moment.
And then Harry caved.
"Fine." he grumbled.
And that was how he had found himself in that damn club on a Friday night when all he wanted was to try – again, to call Logan and leave him - another voicemail.
Or ten.
And then Niall had reached him.
“Harold” sighed Niall, looking sadly at his best friend. “You reek.”
Harry snorted darkly.
“Thanks, mate.”
Niall chuckled sadly and leant against the bar by his sides.
“We came here to make you feel better.”
“No, I came here cause you bloody forced me.”
A silence.
“It’s been a month, H.”
Harry froze.
“Don’t you think I know that?” he growled and Niall punched his shoulder.
“Do not growl at me, dickhead.”
Harry deflated.
"I'm sorry." he admitted. "I know you're only trying to help."
Niall sighed sadly.
And then his own shoulders dropped.
"I don't want to push you, Haz." he said. "It's just- I worry about you."
Harry's jaw clenched.
"I know." and then he took a deep shaky breath.
"You don't talk about what happened. Never." he sighed again. “That can’t be good.”
Harry snorted.
"What is there to say?"
"Anything you want."
Harry looked at the ceiling for a second and then his eyes fell on his best friend again.
Anything he wanted…
Ah.
“I just miss him.” he admitted softly, heart squeezing in his chest. “So much.” his voice broke. "I – I think about him all the time, Ni."
Niall sighed and patted his back.
“I know, mate.”
“I don’t understand what happened.” he cleared his dry throat. “I just – I don’t understand what happened.” he said again.
Harry had not seen it coming.
None of it.
And that was the worst.
“Harry-”
“I thought I was a good Alpha.” he finally murmured, tears at the back of his eyes.
“Oh Haz.”
But no.
That was all Harry could think about.
He had to be an awful alpha.
He must have actually been a terrible Alpha for Logan to just leave it all behind without a second glance.
But Harry had done his best.
He really had thought he was doing things right.
He had always given Logan his jacket when he was cold, would carry him up the stairs when he was tired, always made sure Logan came when they had sex, would give him his knot as many times as he wanted, made sure he was safe and sound at all time, scented him as much as Logan's heart desired, listened to his day and his dreams and-
And he had loved him so so much.
A sob got caught in Harry's throat and the alpha cleared his throat.
Niall pretended nothing happened and Harry was really grateful for that.
He didn't want to cry in front of a crowd.
He didn’t want to cry at all.
For now he had managed not to, had always stopped the tears right before they fell…
He intended to keep things this way.
"Drinks on me?" tried the blue-eyed man, finally understanding why Harry didn't want to talk it out.
Harry smiled faintly.
"Okay."
Maybe Harry's life was ruined, but this night didn't have to be.
Not yet.
And that line of thoughts was how he found himself three hours later, deliciously buzzed.
Niall had gone to the bathroom at least 15 minutes ago and Harry was pretty sure he was being held up somewhere – either by a girl or a friend, but Harry didn't care.
He was feeling pretty good.
Thank God for the drinks.
"Excuse me?" said a voice and Harry's alpha perked up.
But not quite at the voice.
At the scent emanating from what was without a doubt an omega behind him, the alliance of roses and honey an odd one but one that was working for Harry.
God, was it working.
Harry bit down a growl and turned around.
And his heart absolutely stopped.
Because in front of him...
" Fuck." he breathed, green eyes so wide as he took in the man in front of him.
Smaller than him.
Blue blue blue eyes.
Chestnut hair styled in a soft soft soft fringe.
Soft smile.
Petite waist.
FUCK.
The first thought that entered Harry’s mind was...
That omega looked like Logan.
So much so that it should be funny.
So much so that Harry’s heart missed a beat.
The omega raised an eyebrow and Harry shook his head, trying to leave his stupor.
"Yeah?"
The blue-eyed man bit down a smirk, looking down then up behind his eyelashes.
Fuck.
Oldest trick in the book and it worked on Harry like a charm.
Great.
"You needed something?" he asked and Louis smiled, and fuck. Crinkles by the eyes.
Harry almost groaned out loud again.
"I needed access to the bar, actually." smiled Louis, nodding at the crowded bar.
Harry cleared his throat and puffed out his chest, looking at Louis raised an eyebrow and bit down a smirk.
The omega seemed perfectly aware of what Harry was doing.
Great.
"Why's that?"
The omega laughed.
"To get a drink, I reckon."
Harry scrunched his nose and leant in slowly, saw the moment Louis hold his breath.
"Let me buy you one."
(Let it be known that Harry had lost the power to his Alpha.)
The blue-eyed man narrowed his eyes at him.
"Why?"
"Cause you're the prettiest thing in here and it would be a shame not to tell you that."
The man looked surprised and then laughed, throwing his head back and showing off his neck.
Okay.
Harry wanted to lick and bite and claim.
He was fine.
Very fine.
Very very fine.
He just...
He just hadn't had sex in almost a month.
And that man looked confusingly like his ex.
Harry and his alpha were confused.
So confused.
(His knot too.)
"Okay, big guy." Louis shook his head almost fondly, raising an eyebrow. "One drink?"
"One drink."
Their eyes locked.
"I'm Louis." smiled the omega, sitting by Harry's side.
"Harry."
Another smile.
"Well, Harry , where is my drink?"
This time, Harry was the one to laugh.
//
So, it turned out that Louis was not only the most beautiful omega Harry had ever seen.
No.
He was witty, and sassy and so fucking smart.
And he smelled so good Harry couldn’t get away from him.
Harry was kinda addicted.
(He was blaming the drinks for that.)
(And the abstinence.)
(And Logan.)
They had moved to some secluded area after that first drink that had turned into several drink s , and Louis was now sat against the wall with Harry close to him, his arm around his shoulders.
Niall was nowhere to be seen but Harry couldn't care less.
He couldn't care cause he couldn't look away from Louis.
Louis and his mesmerizing blue eyes and addicting smile and-
"I should go back." Louis murmured suddenly, hands stroking Harry's chest and fluttering his long eyelashes."My friends will wonder where I am..."
He didn't make any move to get away from the alpha's hold though, and his scent was still was intense as ever.
Harry barely bit down the growl as one of his hands caught Louis' and pressed it harder against his chest.
"Go home with me."
Harry's eyes widened as his own bluntness.
(And what if he let his scent wash over Louis tentatively?)
(He was drunk, sue him.)
Louis moved back slightly before blue eyes lit up and he laughed, rolling his head back and this time, this time Harry did growl softly.
Too much.
He needed that omega.
Now .
"You could be a serial killer." Louis pouted prettily.
Harry's jaw clenched and he leant in, nuzzling underneath Louis' ear and the omega gasped, tilting his head slightly.
“I’m not.”
Louis rolled his eyes.
“Sounds like something a serial killer would say.”
Harry smiled.
“What’s life without a few risks, right?”
He moved back and their eyes met, Louis bit down his bottom lip with a flush already high on his incredible cheekbones.
“One night.” said Harry again, leaning in closer and he almost felt the gasp Louis let out. “Give me one night.”
Louis’ hands curled on his shirt.
“Do you tell that to all your hookups?”
Harry’s heart stopped but he refused to dwell on this.
“No.” he only said, one of his hand sliding from Louis’ waist to his thigh, squeezing. “Come home with me.”
Louis took another minuted to answer but then let out a small whine, nodding.
“Okay.” he breathed. “Okay.” and then, “Let me warn my friends and I’m all yours for the night.”
Harry’s alpha rumbled in his chest.
That sounded like a plan.
//
They were in a Uber going back to Harry’s and things were getting out of control…
It had started innocent enough to be honest, Louis cuddling closer and Harry letting out possessive pheromones he had not even been able to control.
(He still blamed Logan.)
(But he also blame their Alpha driver and Louis.)
Then Louis had started nuzzling below his jaw and that had the alpha lose a bit of his precious control, even more so when he felt the tip of the omega’s tongue on his pulse point.
Harry's jaw clenched and his grip on Louis' thigh tightened.
The omega whined softly and that same absolutely addicting smell that made Harry's nostrils flare and a low growl escape him.
"Stop it." he breathed, leaning and biting at Louis' earlobe quickly.
Louis tensed.
" Fuck ." he said, breathless. "Then stop it yourself!"
Harry hid his smirk in the crook of Louis' neck, the omega shivering under the touch.
“I’m about to wreck you, omega.” he murmured in Louis’ ear and the omega shivered.
“Fuck.”
Harry smirked.
He couldn’t wait to get to his place.
//
What happened next was a bit of a blur.
Harry had paid the Uber and then with his hand at the bottom of Louis’ back had urged the omega inside the building.
They had managed to stay decent in the elevator.
They had managed to stay decent in the corridor.
They had not managed to stay decent once inside.
Once inside…
Once inside things got out of control entirely.
Clothes on the floor, lips meeting, hands groping…
It was impossible to say who was who and what belonged to who.
And that was how they found themselves on the bed, both in nothing but their boxers.
Louis moaned as Harry hovered over him, kissing him deeply and leaning into him in the bed before he moved back slightly and got lost in the blue of his eyes.
“I want you like that.” he groaned, manhandling Louis until he was on all fours on his bed.
“Oh fuck.” moaned the omega, face falling in the crook of his elbow.
Harry’s eyes were hungry.
Oh he had missed sex.
So much.
So so so much.
The last time he had sex was-
No.
Not happening.
He pushed Logan out of his mind.
Louis was there.
Harry leant in in an effort to reconnect to the present, biting at one of Louis’ cheeks and he heard the breathless chuckle he got in answer.
“Did you just bite my butt?” Louis asked and there was wonder in his voice, along with amusement.
Harry laughed, squeezing his cheeks and shaking his head, still breathless.
“Couldn’t help it.”
Louis opened the mouth but the alpha leant in to lick a broad lick from his perineum to his hole and Louis moaned loudly instead, laying down on the bed to try and get friction but Harry gripped his hips to bring them to his face and away from the bed.
“Taste so good, baby.” he groaned and Louis whined, more slick escaping him.
“Fuck…”
Harry smirked.
He proceeded to open Louis very slowly, cataloging each moans and each whines before he was ready to push in, lubing himself with Louis’ slick and groaning at the sight.
“Inside.” Louis moaned.
Harry blanketed Louis’ body, burying his face in Louis’ neck and taking a big scent.
Honey.
Roses.
It was sweet and perfect.
“Oh God.” Louis went pliant at the scenting.
And then Harry pushed in, very slowly and trying not to overwhelm Louis.
But Louis didn’t look overwhelm.
Quite on the contrary.
He moaned wantonly and pushed his hips back so Harry was entirely inside of him.
“Fuck!” Harry groaned.
It registered somewhere in his mind that it was the first time he had sex with someone else in 7 years but it left his mind right away when Louis whined again, pushing back against Harry’s groin.
“Oh God.”
“Can I move?”
“ Please .”
Harry moved back then pushed inside again and they both moaned loudly.
Oh God.
The rhythm Harry set after that was everything but gentle.
It lasted for less longer than he would have liked but...
He needed to come.
Right now.
"Can I come inside you?" Harry groaned, eyes closed tightly in his effort to not come.
Louis moaned, face buried in his pillow.
"Harry-"
"Louis, can I knot you?"
Another moan, deeper.
And for a second Harry was afraid it was too much to ask a one night stand, but...
"Please-" the omega whined, their fingers intertwining.
Harry growled at the answer and at the way Louis clenched around him, and he bit at Louis’ shoulder as he came almost instantly, hips coming to a stop and pushing even deeper as his knot locked them together.
“Louis…”
The omega keened in his throat and then stopped moving, body pliant as he came against the bed.
“Oh God.”
Harry chuckled and licked at the neck of the omega, scenting him and enjoying how calm and pliant the omega now was.
Harry’s alpha was sated and relaxed.
More than he had been in weeks.
He moved them so that he cuddled Louis’ body against him.
“Need to clean-” started Louis but he yawned and snuggled closer.
Harry chuckled despite of himself and let a small kiss on his nape.
“Sleep, omega.”
And Louis did.
Harry woke up the next day with his nose buried in someone’s neck.
He was confused for a second cause the person didn’t smell like Logan.
His alpha moved in his chest in worry, but soon laid back down, rumbling happily and obviously very satisfied with the smell he was surrounded with.
And then Harry remembered.
The club.
The drinks.
Louis.
At the thought of the omega, his dick started getting interested again and Harry couldn’t help but getting his hip closer to the sleeping man.
He needed the contact.
The omega in his arms then started humming and Harry remembered more.
Blue blue eyes.
Soft curves.
Passionate kisses.
Moans and whines.
Louis.
Harry groaned when he realized he was fully hard by now and Louis' ass was pressing against his growing dick.
"Fuck." he groaned.
“Insatiable, are we alpha?” Louis teased sleepily.
Harry needed him.
Now.
He pushed his hips closer and felt Louis slicking up already,
“You’re one to talk.” he chuckled, fingers teasing at the opening and then he moved them so he could slip in, Louis still opened from the night before.
“Fuck” Louis moaned and Harry had to agree.
Fuck, indeed.
He hold Louis’ hips tighter, bringing them to his and in doing so bringing himself deeper.
“Fuck fuck fuck” he groaned, biting at Louis' shoulder and the omega absolutely lost it as his back arched and he came without Harry even touching him.
Louis whined once his orgasm stopped and he held Harry closer turning the head and mouthing at his jaw.
"You can come in me, alpha."
And that-
Harry moaned loudly, his knot catching as he came inside and that triggered another orgasm in the smaller omega, both of them rolling it out together.
“Good morning to me.” chuckled Louis and Harry laughed, kissing his shoulder.
It was a good morning indeed.
//
Watching the omega catching his breath a few minutes later, Harry realised he had not thought about Logan for hours.
For the first time since the heartbreak.
He frowned, trying to pinpoint why that could be.
There was only one explanation.
Louis.
Louis who was similar enough and yet different enough from Logan to cure Harry's heartbreak, at least momentarily.
And maybe that was exactly what he needed.
Maybe hooking up with someone looking like Logan would help, the time for Harry to get his Logan back.
Maybe while he was working to get his omega, Harry could see Louis.
It would help.
Yes, that was a great plan, actually.
“I want to do it again, Louis.” said Harry without really thinking about it, green eyes intense and the omega blushed under the stare, fidgeting slightly.
“Oh.” he smirked, “You do, don’t you?”
Harry growled, leaning in and biting his naked shoulder.
“Don’t tease, omega.”
Louis shivered and started fidgeting, nostrils flared at Harry noticed what was happening.
Wet.
Louis was wet again.
“Fuck.” he groaned, bringing Louis to his lap and the omega went happily. "You're the one insatiable."
Louis whined and rolled his hips against Harry's hardening cock.
"You've got a good knot..."
Harry had no idea what was going on.
He just knew he couldn't stop.
He groaned deeply and leant in to suck an indecent lovebite on the side of Louis’ neck.
“Such a filthy mouth…”
“You loved it last night, if I recall.” Louis moaned.
Okay.
Enough.
“I want to fuck you.”
Louis moaned and tensed.
“I’m sore…” he pouted, but still rolled his hips against Harry’s.
Harry groaned, fingers digging in the omega’s hips.
“Please.” he murmured, biting at his neck which seemed to be Louis’ weakness. “Omega.”
And that.
Louis moaned softly and then reached behind him to bring Harry’s hard dick against his opening, sliding in softly.
They both moaned when Harry was in to the hilt.
“You can move.” Harry moaned.
Louis chuckled, blue eyes twinkling.
“I’ll move when I want to.”
Harry rolled his eyes and then he started moving as well, and that started everything.
They moved against each other and then Louis gasped when Harry hit his spot, fingers scratching at Louis’ chest.
Oh God.
"That's it-" Harry groaned, hands helping Louis roll his hips on top of his. "Get what you want, omega."
Louis keened loudly at that, face falling in Harry's neck and sucking a mark there.
Harry brought his hips closer, forcing Louis to grind and grinding against his spot relentlessly.
“Alpha…” Louis whined, drooling on Harry’s chest.
How could someone be so sexy?!
“Come, omega-”
And Louis did.
Beautifully so.
And the sight only made Harry clench his teeth as he released inside of Louis what felt like way too much cum for his second orgasm of the morning.
//
“When you say you want to do this again?” asked Louis softly a while later when they were both linked to each other by Harry’s knot.
Harry studied him for a second.
He could tell him the truth.
He could.
But he couldn’t take the chance to lose Louis when Harry had not felt that good in weeks.
So he tried to find a loophole.
“Something casual.” he said and tried to ignore the look on Louis’ face. “I just got out of a long relationship.” he said again, green eyes so intense “I’m not looking for anything serious right now.”
Louis looked down for a second, nose scrunching quickly.
“I see." he said softly. “So casual, huh?”
Harry's heart was beating fast cause he needed this to work.
He needed to keep seeing Louis.
He couldn't let him go now.
Not when it was the first time in a month he felt alright.
“Yes. I think we could be good to each other.”
Louis raised an eyebrow, fighting a smirk.
“Oh.” he said again. “I do think we’re good to each other.” he winked.
Harry glared at him, then hold his hips tighter and Louis gasped when that pulled at the knot holding them together.
“Don’t play, omega.”
Louis was breathing heavily, eyes glazed.
Fuck, Harry wanted him again.
WHAT THE FUCK.
His dick was filling again inside the omega and they both moaned, Louis burying his face in Harry’s neck and panting there.
“Okay.” he breathed, moving his hips. “Casual it is, then.”
Harry smiled and then started rolling his hips against Louis’…
And he wasn’t laughing anymore after that.
Harry knocked at Niall's door and the blue eyes man smiled when he opened the door.
"Harry!" he said, moving so Harry could come in. "Where have you been, mate? You disappeared on me last night and I was worried!"
Harry chuckled and walked in the living room before turning around.
“I met someone.” he finally admitted.
Niall’s eyes widened in glee.
“Ohhhhh! Was is that blue-eyed omega at the bar?” he said with excitation, “You two looked cosy on the bench...”
Harry nodded, biting his bottom lip.
“Yep. It’s him.”
"I had a feeling." the other alpha chuckled. "Didn't want to assume though..."
"We left together."
"And?"
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Niall. We had sex."
Niall’s eyes widened.
“Well done, mate!” Harry rolled his eyes again. “How was it?”
“Fucking hot.” chuckled breathlessly Harry, trying not to let his thoughts get back there. “So so so hot-”
“Okay.” Niall made a face. “Don’t need too much details!” Harry laughed. “Tell me more about him!”
Harry froze.
“Huh- his name is Louis” he started with the easy part, “He’s 30 and he does… something.” he ended lamely.
Niall studied him for a seconds, then burst out laughing.
“The sex was that good?”
“It would appear.” Harry muttered, cheeks red.
Niall laughed happily, shaking his head.
“Are you seeing him again?”
“I’m seeing him again.” Harry said, “And the best thing is that it’s clear that this is all about the – incredible, sex."
“Good for you if that’s what you need, mate!” he clapped his hand. “What does he look like?”
Harry’s jaw tensed.
“Huh-” he cleared his throat. “You see Logan?”
“Yes.” Niall froze.
“Well it’s his twin, I believe.” he tried a chuckle.
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that they’re looking almost identical.” he said quickly. “I – yeah, he looks a lot like Logan is all that I mean.”
Harry took a deep breath and chanced a look at his friend.
But Niall wasn’t looking the way Harry had expected.
He was frowning.
“What?”
“You realize what you’re doing, right?” he said after a moment.
Harry tensed.
“What?”
“You’re using Louis as a replacement for Logan.” Niall said patiently.
"I'm not-" Niall levelled him with a look and Harry felt defensive. "Okay maybe I am but I told him it wasn't serious."
"Did you tell him he looked like your ex?"
Harry glared at him.
"That would have been awkward, don’t you think?"
Niall sighed.
"H, it’s not very nice and you know that.”
Harry’s heart tightened so much he could barely breathe.
“Nice?” he breathed. “Nice.” he chuckled darkly to himself. “In case you didn’t realize, life is not nice Niall.”
“That’s not-”
“I got my heart absolutely destroyed by being nice.”
Niall frowned.
“So what? You’re just ready to do that to someone else? It’s not Louis’ fault Logan left you!”
Harry’s jaw clenched.
“I’m not a monster.”
“I never said you were.”
“Louis is aware this is not a relationship. I’ve told him and he agreed. The reasons are not important, he still agreed. We’re both consenting adults, are we not?”
Niall raised his hands in surrender, feeling Harry was getting mad.
“You are.” and then, “Just want to let the record know that I called this was a stupid idea.” he tried a smile and that relaxed Harry.
“Noted.”
"And I want noted too that I don't think this is healthy in the process of moving on."
"Fine. Noted."
“And that you’ll only get you and your Alpha confused in the end.”
“Let it go, Niall.” their eyes locked, “But noted.”
Harry refused to hear that warning.
It would be fine.
Everything would be fine.
“And look who is back from his walk of shame.” Zayn wriggled his eyebrows from where he was sipping his coffee as Louis came inside their shared flat.
Louis blushed but didn’t deny it.
Instead, he sighed dreamily and sat facing his best friend and stealing his cup of coffee.
“Oi, I was drinking that!”
“I met someone.” Louis shrugged as he pretended to be busy with something in the counter, scrunching his nose.
“Ohhh that explains the scent.” smirked Zayn, forgetting all about the coffee and Louis froze, glaring at him.
“That’s rude to point out my scent.”
Zayn only laughed,
“Oh you’re fine.” he waved his hand dismissively. “So? Tell me who is this alpha I’ll tell you if he’s worthy of you.”
Louis rolled his eyes but it was good-natured.
Zayn was his only Alpha close friend and he was taking that job really seriously.
He was insanely protective of Louis and had been from the very moment they had met when they were 15.
People always assumed they were together, even more so when they both presented as alpha and omega at 16, but there was no attraction there.
Only deep love.
The kind you have for your family.
"Lou?" Zayn raised an eyebrow.
“Just this man I met at the bar.” he tried to act nonchalant.
"The one you left with?"
Louis nodded.
“Tall, green eyes, fucking dimples…”
“Okay.”
“So good with his tongue-” Louis moaned to annoy his best friend.
“That’s too much information.” Zayn pulled a face and Louis giggled.
“Incredibly thick knot-”
“LOU!” The omega laughed loudly. "Be serious for a second, please."
Louis chuckled.
"Yes." he finally said. "The one I left with. We got to his place and did some x-rated things and then again this morning. Multiple times, actually." he winked, tongue peeking from between his teeth cheekily and Zayn had a disgusted face but Louis kept talking. "It was a great night."
A silence.
"Will you see each other again,, then?"
That sobered Louis up.
Cause he knew how Zayn would react to what the blue-eyed man was about to say.
“We are.” he said carefully, “But he’s been very clear with me that he’s not searching for a relationship.”
Zayn frowned.
Right.On.Cue
"Zayn-"
“Why?”
“Bad breakup.”
Zayn was still frowning.
“Okay… But he still slept with you?”
Louis rolled his eyes.
“Come on.”
Zayn raised his hands in surrender at that,
“Fine.” he grumbled, “But are you sure this is a good thing for you, Lou?” he said, “You’re a romantic at heart.”
Louis rolled his eyes.
“I’ve had hook ups.”
Zayn scoffed.
“No, you’ve had relationships.”
“I could have hook ups.”
Zayn rolled his eyes.
“You’re already smitten after only one night.”
Louis blushed.
“I’m not.”
“I know that look. You had that look when you came back from your first date with Isaac Lahey and you stayed with him for 18 months after that.”
Louis blushed.
He needed a way to change the course of this discussion…
And then he found it.
“I’m fine.” he said, then tilted his head. “It’s just a really great knot.” he said and Zayn got up, disgusted.
“ENOUGH.”
And he left under Louis’ giggles.
But before he left, he turned around and looked at his best friend,
“I know what you’re doing and it’s not working. I’ll be keeping my eyes on that alpha of yours.”
Louis blushed.
“Not my alpha.” he murmured but could feel his cheeks going red.
Zayn shook his head like Louis was proving his point exactly, before he waved his hand at Louis’ face.
“Exactly what I mean.”
Fuck.
For the first time in four weeks.
Harry was in a good mood.
A real good mood.
He whistled his way to his office and smiled at his secretary,
“Hi, Jen.” he said and she raised a curious eyebrow at him.
“You look happy.”
“It’s a bright day, isn’t it”
A bright day indeed.
It had been a day since that night at the club and Harry was thinking about contacting Louis again.
He just needed to find a clever way to do so…
He couldn’t just send “Please I need to put my knot in you cause you ass in the only thing I’ve been thinking about for the last 24 hours.”
What?
It was great sex, okay?
Harry was kinda obsessed already.
He shook his head.
“Okay.” the beta hummed, clearly not convinced. “Your 9 am is waiting in your office.” Harry froze and she rolled her eyes. “Mr Tomlinson? For the accountant job? It’s been planned for weeks, H.”
“Riiiight.” he nodded, smiling cheekily. "I knew that."
"Of course you did." she raised an eyebrow, going back to her notes.
Harry chuckled and gave her a cheeky grin before walking to the corridor.
He’ll deal with that damn boring meeting and then he would call Louis and ask him over.
Yeah,
That sounded like a plan.
//
Harry froze in his steps, looking around the corridor.
Something was wrong.
It smelt like…
Like honey and roses and-
Louis.
That was definitively Louis.
Was Harry losing his mind?
Was he still smelling like the omega despite the showers he took?
Harry frowned and came in the room and then bit down a smile instantly.
Cause the omega was turning his back on him but Harry would recognise that butt anywhere…
He had been thinking about it for 24 hours straight.
“Louis Tomlinson.”
The omega froze and turned around very slowly.
“Fuck.” he breathed out.
Harry froze and then closed the door behind him, slowly.
“What are you doing here?”
Louis scoffed.
"The job? I'm your new accountant it would appear." he scrunched his nose.
Harry's alpha was already trying to get closer.
So Harry obeyed and took a step closer.
“How come you didn’t tell me?”
Louis shook his head.
“You didn’t give me your last name.” he groaned to himself, “I would have never-” he blushed. “Fuck, this is awkward.” Harry walked closer. “I didn’t know you worked here.” Louis tensed, crossing his arms.
Harry was out of words.
He was out of words because all he could think about was pushing Louis against the wall of his office and taking him here and there.
Fuck.
He cleared his throat and shook his head.
“Obviously, I didn’t either.” he said, voice hoarse and Louis’ eyes darkened as he took a step back.
“Don’t look at me like that.” he warned but something changed and Harry groaned.
Slick.
Louis was slicking up.
“Fuck.” and then he took another step back. “Get back. Not here .”
Harry chuckled darkly and towered over Louis, caging him against the wall.
“Your scent…” he growled, eyes so dark his pupils were gone.
“They’re on the other side of that door.” Louis swallowed.
“Then you’ll have to be very quiet.” he said, hoisting Louis up in his arms and the omega let him do it, arms wrapping tightly around Harry’s shoulders as he bared his neck immediately, letting the alpha take and take and take.
“Harry- We can’t- The boss-”
“I’m the boss.” murmured the alpha, leaning in to lick at Louis’ neck.
“Somehow this is even worst for me.” Louis whined quietly but he tilted his head to leave more room for Harry.
Harry smirked against the skin of his neck.
This was going to be fun.
So fun.
