“Kiddo, please, if you don’t stop primping and preening we’re gonna be late for dinner.”

Rhys cleared his throat, his eyes fluttering nervously to Jack’s face before they returned to where his fingers were fidgeting with the bowtie he’d just spent the past five minutes tying around his mate’s collar. 

“Hah, hm, maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing…” Jack slapped away Rhys’ hands, lightly grabbing them as went back in to try to straighten the alpha’s lapels.

“You’ve been twitching like a bunny all afternoon, pumpkin, I don’t need you throwing up halfway through dinner. Pretty sure your parents would get the wrong idea…”

Rhys sighed, biting his lip, eyes downcast.

“I know…I know, I’m sorry, it’s just….my parents are really judgemental…”

“So you’ve told me.” Jack lowered Rhys’ hands, clasping them together over his stomach as he cupped the omega’s face, scenting one line up his right cheek and then the other before nudging their noses together. 

“You forget who you’re dating, pumpkin? If your parents aren’t happy with me, they’ll be happy with nobody.”

“I know, that’s what I’m worried about…what if they’re not happy with anything.” Rhys moaned softly before Jack claimed his lips in a distracting kiss.

“Shh. Shush. Trust Jack. I’ll knock good ol’ mom and dad off their feet, just you watch.” Rhys smiled softly, a pleased blush tinging his cheeks at Jack’s confident words.

“And if not…” Jack’s lips quirked mischievously. “I’ll buy every last drop of alcohol in the place and get us both absolutely frikkin’ sloshed.”
