His Dominant Omega by Jarrett, J. (feel good books .TXT) 📕

work for that. After dinner he took a shower and turned in for the night. His dreams were filled with Cole in different degrees of being undressed.

Josef welcomed the dreams. At least in his subconscious he didn’t feel guilty for pining over a guy he just met. In fact it gave him the courage to go and see the man the next day. With any luck he could get a read on Cole and make sure he was interested before he went and embarrassed himself.

With a plan set, Josef left the house of love, as he started to refer to it, and headed toward the work site. He had called Dave to confirm he had Cole working at the same house again. They were hanging Sheetrock today, and Josef thought that gave him an excellent excuse to go and supervise.

Josef had the music turned up and was singing along to a song when a familiar rusty, not-fit-for-the-road truck came into view. It was pulled off on the shoulder with the hood propped open and the owner standing in front of it.

“It seems to be my lucky day.” Josef sang out the words. He hit his blinker and pulled up behind Cole’s pickup and got out. “Can I help with anything?”

At the sound of his voice Cole’s head peeked around the corner. A warm smile crossed his lips, and he waved Josef over. “Only if you know anything about engines. I think the old girl is on her last leg.”

Josef stepped beside Cole and took a deep breath, just checking to make sure he didn’t miss something before.

Nope, just soap and Cole’s natural musk. But still Josef thought the man smelt delicious.

He looked down at the inside of the old truck and almost laughed. The wires connecting the battery were being held together with masking tape. Not the type of tape that can withstand high temperatures.

“I think I know what your problem is.” Josef pointed to the crumb-covered battery that looked original to the truck.

“Yeah, what?” Cole took a step back, and his elbow brushed against Josef’s arm, and his breath caught in his chest. The small touch was electric.

“I’m not sure how much you know about trucks”—he pointed down at the offending battery—“but masking tape isn’t the best choice to hold car parts together.” He did laugh then at Cole’s raised eyebrows. “It’s like hooking up a tow hitch with a shoe string.”

Cole stepped back to the truck, braced his hands on the edge of the hood and looked inside. Josef took the chance and skimmed his eyes over Cole’s backside. His jeans were a little baggy but not much. Josef could make out the hard muscles that clung to his legs and ass. God, he’d give his right nut to see this man naked even if for just a minute.

“Fuck me!” Cole shouted.

“Gladly,” Josef muttered.

“Excuse me?” Cole looked over his shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him. “Did you say something?”

Josef quickly looked up and wiped his hand across his mouth. He’d just been caught eyeing the man’s ass and didn’t want to add insult to injury by drooling down his chin. “Uh, no. I didn’t say anything.”

Cole squinted an eye as he looked at him. A small knowing smile graced his lips like he knew exactly what Josef had said. But he whispered the word so softly there was no way the other man could have heard him. Josef might have lost his finesse when in this man’s presence, but he sure as shit wouldn’t have said something like that for the man to hear. If Cole wasn’t into him, he could file a sexual harassment suit. That was the last thing Josef needed.

“What am I going to do?” Cole said more to himself as he turned back toward his truck. “Fuck, I so don’t need this right now.” He banged his hands down on the hood.

“Hey, calm down.” Josef stepped up behind Cole and rested his palms on the other man’s shoulders. He lightly ran his thumbs in a circular motion trying to relieve the tension in the man’s body. “Let me make a phone call. I’ll have the shop in town tow it back and have them fix the battery.”

“I can’t do that.” Cole turned around to face him. “Even if they fix it, I can’t afford to pay for it. I’m screwed.”

Josef’s eyes fell to watch Cole’s lips as he talked. It was like this man put him under a spell, and no matter what he wanted or requested Josef wanted to do it. He wanted to see Cole smile again.

“Not today you’re not.” Josef stepped around Cole. He needed to put some distance between him and the man before he kissed the breath from his plump pink lips. He dropped the hood and pulled out his cell phone.

“What are you doing?” Cole asked as he followed closely behind him.

“I’m going to have your truck towed back to town and pay to have a new battery put in it.” He held up his hand when Cole started to protest. “Just stop. You can pay me back when you can, no rush.”

Cole chuckled. “That’s very trusting of you. How do you know I’ll pay you back?”

“Well first off, I sign your checks, and second, I know where you live.”

After a minute of Cole staring at him the man finally relented and nodded his head. “Thank you. I promise to pay you back every cent.”

“I trust that you will.” Josef dialed the number and hit send. He paced back and forth while he waited for the call to be answered. Once he got the arrangements made he turned back to Cole who was leaning against his truck.

“All set?” Cole asked as
