"They are definitely trying to get a look at your Omega," Yuri muttered.
Victor glanced toward the closet, moving away as he continued to speak with Yuri over the phone.
"He was only supposed to be doing reconnaissance and got ambitious by coming so close to the house, idiot," Yuri explained over the man's muffled screaming in the background. Victor briefly wondered just what Yuri had done to elicit such a response. He was proud of the younger man's dedication to getting the job done. Though he would never tell Yuri that. The blond would just find it annoying and tell him to fuck off.
"Do you think there's anything else that he can tell us?" The Alpha was curious whether there was anything else to squeeze from the man before they put him out of his misery.
"Unfortunately, no."
"That's a shame, but I'll trust your judgment on this. Go ahead and dispose of him as soon as possible." Victor ordered.
"It's the middle of the day, can I at least wait until dark to dump him?" Yuri asked with a sigh.
"I suppose," Victor agreed, a marvelously vindictive idea forming in his mind to send a message to the man's employer. "In fact, why don't you go ahead and leave his body on the same patch of seashore where they found…her."
"Fuck, that's like a 45-minute trip each way," Yuri whined. "Can I at least borrow Otabek to drive me?"
Victor bit back a chuckle. He was well-aware of the romance brewing between the two Betas and found it adorable that they thought they were somehow sneaky about it. He abhorred the idea that he could deny anyone their happiness when he was on the cusp of finding his own with Yuuri.
"Fine, I don't expect to go out tonight anyway."
"Well look at you acting all reasonable. Maybe finally having an Omega around is a good thing!" Yuri laughed as he hung up. Victor let out a huff of amusement and slid the phone into his pocket. Yuri and Chris were two of the very few he allowed such candid banter from. The young blond had practically grown up in the organization after the death of his family and was like a brother to him. With Chris, well he'd known the Beta since his youth when they'd attended the same boarding school in Switzerland. He knew one thing unequivocally, that both men would loyally follow him no matter what.

Yuuri pulled on the long blue-gray cashmere cardigan over a white tank and hoped the clothing he'd chosen would be acceptable to the silver-haired Alpha.
After all, he did say 'comfortable'. Yuuri quickly glanced in the mirror to make sure the jogger pants, in the same color as the cardigan looked alright. Yuuri blushed at the feeling of the soft panties beneath them. They made him feel…naughty. Like he was getting away with something illicit.
He began to close the many drawers and cabinets of the wardrobe, but as he came to the one with the collars and cuffs, he paused in consideration of them.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Is that the saying? He wondered as he looked them over. He finally selected a pale blue one with roses and vines embossed upon the leather. The Omega sighed and grabbed the key for it before closing the drawer.
Here goes nothing. Yuuri took a calming breath and walked back to the bedroom before he could lose his nerve. Victor was sliding his phone back in his pocket as he entered, turning to smile at him.
"You look wonderful!" The Alpha exclaimed as he crossed the room to join him.
"Thank you, um…" Yuuri hesitantly held up the collar in one of his hands to show the other man. "I wasn't sure if you wanted me to wear one, so I brought this out just in case."
"That's so sweet of you. I can't believe I didn't think of it. Thank you, Yuuri," Victor replied as he took the key from Yuuri's outstretched hand. "The color will go beautifully with what you're wearing."
"I'm glad you think so," Yuuri murmured as he tried to swallow down the anxiety attempting to surface.
"Here, let me help," Victor cheerfully reached out to take the collar and unlocked it before sliding the key in his pocket. Yuuri turned around to allow the other man better access to put it on him. The Omega's breath hitched as he felt Victor draw closer, his scent enveloping him. There was something about this Alpha that made his body react like no other he'd met before, a tingling from the tips of his toes to the top of his head.
"You smell so good," Victor muttered softly, so close that he could feel the man's heated breath against the back of his neck. It normally would've concerned Yuuri to be this close to an Alpha, but something about what Victor was doing felt so right.
"Can I scent mark you, Yuuri?"
The Omega found he wanted that very much. He barely managed a small needy sound of assent as he rolled his head to the side, exposing the long line of his throat in submission to the Alpha. Yuuri was well-aware of the overall benefits of scent marking one's mate. It would serve to calm and steady the other man, as well as provide Yuuri undeniable evidence of Victor's protection on his body.
However, all logic regarding their actions evaded him upon feeling the older male's lips pressed against his scent gland. His eyes fell closed as he let out a quiet moan, the need to be touched by Victor overriding all else.
Oh…yes, that's nice…really nice. Yuuri mind grew pleasantly hazy as he felt Victor's teeth graze his sensitive skin. His knees grew weak and just when he thought he might collapse, the Alpha's strong arms wrapped around his waist, holding him up against him as he nuzzled Yuuri's throat. Yuuri eventually turned his head to the other side, drifting happily in Victor's embrace as the man marked the other gland as well.
Yuuri wasn't sure when, but at some point, he lost the ability to hold back the moans and whines that wanted to spill from his lips. The Alpha's mouth was like a weapon he could gather no defense against, sending waves of desire through his body with every flick of his tongue. It wasn't long before the Omega's aroused fragrance became just as heavy in the air as Victor's own.
When Victor finished marking him, the sound of their panting breaths filled the otherwise silent room. Yuuri's eyes blinked open in dazed surprise at the feeling of Victor's thick, hard length pressed against his ass.
Yuuri wasn't sure whether he wanted to roll his hips back against Victor for more or run away as fast as he could from the situation. There was a part of him that was undeniably flattered that he could affect Victor so strongly. He was drawn from the whirlwind of thoughts in his head only moments later when Victor carefully released him from his arms, hands steady as he brought the collar to Yuuri's throat and locked it in place.
The younger man turned to face him, a sense of pride filling him as he took in the serene expression on Victor's face.
To be able to bring such a thing into his mate's life…
To be the calming force in this Alpha's world…
It reassured him that they were heading in the right direction and he was one step closer to building a strong connection with his mate. Yuuri impulsively leaned in to close the distance between them, lips brushing the other man's mouth in the barest of kisses.
Victor's azure eyes looked at him afterward with a sort of awe for the Omega before him. It made Yuuri blush under his scrutiny, biting his lip as he shyly looked away. Victor appeared to have other ideas for his lips as his hands suddenly cupped Yuuri's face, tilting it upward to seek another kiss.
Victor's mouth was even more dangerous than he'd realized, taking no prisoners as he laid waste to the last shreds of coherent thought that Yuuri had been clinging to so desperately. Victor's tongue was hot and slick, demanding entrance as it teased the seam of the Omega's lips. Yuuri found himself shivering with desire, even as a warmth like he'd never known before pooled in his belly.
It didn't last long unfortunately as a different kind of hunger made itself known with a loud rumbling sound from Yuuri's stomach. They both started laughing, their smiling mouths meeting for one more kiss as they resisted the inevitable separation that needed to happen.
"Let's get some lunch, okay?" The Alpha murmured, reaching down to take Yuuri's hand.
"Okay."
