Obligations Go Awry (3ruri x Akiravadel)

[3ruri]

Cuddling was another new experience for Cade. Having his mate so close to him like this, head to head, toe to toe (despite the height difference), calmed his alpha instincts. He loved the happiness glow that Jack was giving and in turn, he was contented as well.

”I never had a favorite color, but now it’s blue,” Cade answered without hesitation. He stroke Jack’s hair away from his forehead to see more of the blue jewels of his eyes. “And my favorite scent is...” he paused to take a sniff of Jack’s neck. “Sweet floral with a hint of citrus,” said Cade.

[akiravadel]

Jack gently ran his hand over his chest to smile softly up at him,  "hmm. " Blushing a little he realized his favorite color was because of his eyes.  Giggling a little when he smelled his neck his blush only got deeper and his smile wider. "Silly alpha. "

Leaning up he gave his cheek a gentle kiss before snuggling back up to him a content purr of a sigh rumbled in his chest. He was already starting to drift off to sleep partially laying on him.  He was so comfortable there relaxed and happy.  

 

 

[3ruri]

"I'm not silly," Cade replied lightly. He thought for a moment and looking back at what he had been doing with jack the whole day, maybe he was indeed silly. "Yeah, maybe I am." He added shortly after.

The soft purr from Jack was so adorable, Cade was silent so he could listen to the sound. He stroke Jack's back gently as his mate drifted apart. He was unwound from their little coupling as well, so his body felt light and sated. He waited until Jack was asleep before he wrapped the omega in the fur and carried him to his room. As he laid the omega on bed, Cade thought about retreating to him room, but the idea of Jack waking up alone didn't fit right, so Cade got onto the bed beside him and pulled his omega close before he too drifted to sleep.

[akiravadel]

Jack trusted him.  To fall asleep in front of an alpha mostly naked that he wasn't yet bonded to was a huge trust exercise.  Then sleeping in the bed next to him,  it was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had.  In his sleep he cuddled up to him resting against his shoulder. That was until his alarm went off at 6am.

Groaning he didn't want to leave his warm bubble but that clock alarm was obnoxious. That was when he remembered it was his fitbit watch.  Shifting his other hand up he stopped the sound then yawned. He didn't have a phone anymore so he had to use his computer and watch the school gave him to track his workouts. 

[3ruri]

The movement next to him Jarred Cade from his sleep. Sleeping in clothes was something new and slightly restrictive, but he hadn't had a quality sleep for a long time, so he pulled the snuggly thing beside him and wrapped his hands and legs around it like an octopus. "That bell is annoying." he mumbled, not realizing that it came from Jack's watch.

Cade buried his nose in the warm cocoon he was hugging and inhaled deeply..."Sweet..." he mumbled, the it hit his senses and his eyes shot open. "Jack! Did I squash you?" He moved immediately, uncovering Jack from the fur throw wondering if he had accidentally suffocated his mate.

[akiravadel]

Jack grunted when he snuggled so tight to him he nearly cut off his air trapped in the fur. Coming out of the wrap he giggled then reached up to pull Cade to lie back down on him,  forgetting he was naked under the fur, "you're good. I don't mind your weight on me it feels nice."

Smiling warmly he ran his fingers through Cade's hair,  "good morning. " He kissed the top of his head then sighed softly. Normally he hopped up and went for a run but cuddling was really nice.  Sliding his naked leg up on his hip he held him close.  

[3ruri]

"Hmm...good morning," Cade smiled looking into his favorite blue eyes. He nuzzled against Jack's neck where their mixture of scent filled his nose. His mate smelling like him was his new guilty pleasure in the morning apart from coffee. Cade rubbed his scruffy jaw against Jack's soft skin, wanting his mate to wear his bear burn for people to see. He knew Jeremy would shake his head when he saw what Cade had done, but he didn't care because it felt right. 

"Any higher and we won't leave this bed any time soon," Cade rubbed his mate's naked leg and settled between the legs further. He knew Jack was naked under the cover and he wouldn't mind going for another quick round. 'Morning sex' popped into his head. Maybe he could get a taste of Jack again. 

Just as he was about to dive in, there was a knock on the door. "Good morning sirs." He heard Jeremy's voice from the other side. Cade groaned. For a day he would like to get a late start, but no, there were people who depended on him. Perks of being the Cade Ambrose.

[akiravadel]

It seemed his alpha had to leave some mark behind, he didn't mind.  Jack chuckled softly knowing he was teasing him a little with his leg but he was mostly just trying to cuddle.  He was about to say he needed to get up to run but then the knock made him jump and turn a healthy shade of red. He felt like a teen caught red handed.  Covering his face with his hand he groaned softly,  "time for the morning run." 

Jack stared to slip away,  "uh good mornin'.  We'll be right out!" He certainly didn't want him coming in there that's for sure.  Leaning in he kissed his shoulder noticing he smelled his own scent on Cade, "time to get up. " He wondered what would be on the agenda for the day.  "Anything we need to do?"

[3ruri]

Cade almost whined. He never whined, but he wanted to stay longer in bed with his mate. "I'll be down in half an hour, old man!" Cade replied back, rolling sluggishly on the bed, pulling the fur his mate used along with him. "Just one day and I'm already lovesick," Cade murmured to himself, not intending for Jack to hear.

"I'm coming with you this morning. We'll take the dogs. You don't know the grounds yet, don't want my mate to slip and fall into the pond before our wedding," Cade said, half joking. Normally Cade spent a few hours a week in his gym, but it would be a good change of scenery to go out running with Jack. "I'm sure Jeremy has laid out our schedule for today. Let's change and see him downstairs." Cade rolled out of bed and stretched his arms above his head, His clothes were disheveled, much like himself, but it was only a reminder of the wonderful night he spent with Jack.

[akiravadel]

In one night Jack changed his life for what he could only hope was the better.  Giggling softly at his words he sat up to wrap his arms around Cade's neck and proceeded to over the top kiss him all over the face, "muah muah muah." He said over and over again then squeezed him into a loving and firm hug. "First run then food hopefully- oh and coffee. Lots of coffee." He swore one day he would be a coffee snob. Honestly he loved the stuff and creamers to mix along with it. 

Slidding his naked body off the bed he slipped on work out shorts and a tank top. Walking into the bathroom to brush his teeth and pee he came back out ready to go,  "I'm sure the pups will enjoy a good run alpha." When they were close again he tucked his head under his chin to inhale his scent.  He couldn't get enough of his smell and hoped he would use his pheromones against him but in a way he wouldn't mind.  

 

 

[3ruri]

Cade wondered if jack could be anymore adorable. His butt looks cute in the running shorts and he didn't stop himself from squeezing the mounds. "I wouldn't mind running behind you so I can watch these jiggle," he said, chuckling at his own corniness. Jack was ready to go, but the hug kept Cade rooted in their spot. He felt horrible to disentangle them, so he wrapped his arms around Jack's finger and carried him standing up like that. Their height difference meant Jack's feet won't touch the floor. "This way to my room, sir," Cade mimicked Jaremy's voice at the 'sir'.

They walked through the closet and Cade pushed the compartment at the end that connected to his own closet. The lights came on and all his wardrobe was revealed. Bespoke suits, designer shirts, Italian leather shoes and many more. There was also a sitting area and he deposited Jack there, pecking his lips before Cade headed to his sports attire section. "Should I make some space for your clothes later on?" He asked as he put on jogging pants and a running shirt. 

[akiravadel]

Jack snorted a laugh out looking up at Cade,  "I have a firm butt ya could bounce a quarter offa." He giggled when he carried him off and mimicking  Jeremy. "Here here sir," Jack deepened his voice making him sound like an old timey British man. Sitting on the seat he looked around the closet with a whistle,  "we need ta get you some shirt boy so you can have more fun." 

Looking back to Cade he shrugged,  "I'll only need one drawer and six hangers." He chuckled but didn't realize he might not know omegas were kept light on purpose. It made it easier to send them off with less items.  "If you're alright with me invading yer space. I'd rather share a room then sleep alone."

[3ruri]

Jack was definitely right about his his firm butt. Cade would bounce a handful of quarters on it and they all would stay. "I have more than enough shirt, I just don't normally have the time to wear them because of my schedule. But thanks to us marrying, I have cleared my schedule for the next month. Maybe we could have a little fun later, we'll see," said Cade. The last time he done anything fun was back in college. That was a decade ago.

"You need more clothes now than ever. Aside from your wedding suit, we'll order at least another dozen for future functions, casual and formal clothes. I told you, you're Cade Ambrose's omega now. I don't do things in a small scale." He reminded Jack. When they were home, he won't mind cade wearing his own clothes, but there are dress codes for events and galas they will be attending soon after their wedding. Cade strode back to jack after dressing up and trapped him between his arms. "Soon enough you'll know what it means to be Sean Ambrose." He kissed jacks lips and pulled him out into his enormous bedroom. "Why don't you have a test while I brush my teeth, then later remind me to get you a new phones because your husband will want to call you sometimes." he said before he disappeared into the bathroom and did his morning ritual.

[akiravadel]

Jack smiled over at him with a little giggle, "than why was Jeremy wakin' us up at the butt crack a dawn?" Sure he was getting up anyway to go run but still. Stretching on the seat he leaned way over touching his toes then stretched his arms back behind his head with a grunt. The when he mentioned not doing things in a small scale Jack smirked, "I know." 

When he said his new name he blushed a little. It wasn't fully sinking in yet just what was coming with that title but he'd find out for sure, "Mn..." Jack kissed him back and wrapped his arms around his shoulders. Flopping back on his bed he giggled, silly alpha. They were already really attached to each other. They had mentioned alpha's might get obsessed with them at first especially if they never had an omega but they were warned to keep things interesting otherwise he would get more omega's and throw him aside. Jack didn't want that. While he waited he decided to do some stretches and squats. Have to warm up before his run so he didn't get leg cramps. Glancing over at the bathroom he worried he was too country for this life that Cade lived. Of course he didn't have much anyway but he felt really out of his league. He really hoped he could keep his anxiety under wraps and not have a panic attack. His medical records did show him getting medication for it at one point but he was taken off. If he stayed on them he would've never been allowed to be sold. His parents couldn't have that so he'd been off them for a few years now trying to handle it himself and be happy for everyone else. 

[3ruri]

"Jeremy..." Cade felt his face heated at the mention of the butler. "I mean, free from all the meetings and conference and site visits, but I am still working from home. There are some annoying old coots on the board of directors who think a younger man like me had it too easy and they set to ruin my day even when they know I'm about to take an omega soon. If you think at the crack of dawn is early, try two or three in the morning. I think the gas problem at their age disturb their sleep so they decided I should not sleep too," Cade said, complaining for once. Before Jack, he had never said anything, but now it felt natural to vent about his work to his spouse. He found that he liked it.

Cade didn't take a long time in the toilet, when he came out, Jack was stretching and squatting, and Cade grinned as he ogled. "Keeping that bubble but juicy and bouncy for me, huh," he teased, and helped Jack stood up. Cade took that chance to pinched the covered bottom and stole another kiss from Jack. He never though he would have fun with an omega like this and he was glad because his future with Jack would be a long one. "Ready to outrun the dogs?" Cade asked, leading them out of the bedroom. He would invite Jack to sleep in his room from now on. He planned to keep it chaste, but judging by the events last night, maybe they'd be a little naughty before the wedding. 

[akiravadel]

Jack chuckled as he mentioned the older men waking him up at all hours, "well ya know you could offer them life alert or something for them to have people to talk to." He grinned then pushed his hair out of his eyes. "They should know better, omega's take up alllll yer time." He didn't mind the complaining. Honestly it was good for him to vent. It helped get his stress out and sort through his emotions instead of just bottling it up. 

Jack smiled as he pulled him up and pinched his bum, "Mnn... keep that up and we won't make it to the run." He reached his own hand down to give Cade's butt a squeeze before heading out of the bedroom with him. Being naughty with him before the wedding was fine with Jack. This helped them get to know each other but he wanted to wait till the wedding night. Although a part of him was worried with how his heat would go this round. It would be cutting it close. His heat was supposed to start the day of the wedding. It usually wasn't unbearable until the day after it technically starts. Without an alpha his was running about six days and they say it helps shorten it if there's an alpha there to knot you. He wondered if it would. Six days of just heat induced delirium was hard to come out of. 

[3ruri]

"Now, why didn't I think of that," Cade smiled at Jack's suggestion. "Maybe next time when I get their calls, I would go through my omega first for his opinion then relay them to the old men. That would certainly shut them up." Cade said amusedly. The old men on the board would turn red in humiliation when Cade preferred to take the advice of his omega than anybody else. Some of them were bigoted assholes and Cade loved to put them in their place. There was only one person who ran the show and that was Cade Ambrose. 

Cade chuckled as he followed his omega down the stairs. It was refreshing having someone who weren't so reserved around him. "Not my fault you have a but I can bounce quarters on," he rephrased the comment Jack had said earlier in his room. They went down the grand staircase and Cade pulled Jack towards his study. He had told Jeremy to wait for them there, so the old man would be waiting for him with whatever information he needed to relay. 

"Good morning, old chap. What's the news this morning?" Cade asked his trusted butler.

"Good morning, sirs. I received a request from Mister Hughes. It seemed like he was not in the wedding invitation and insists that there must be a mistake. Shall I get back to him that there is in fact, no mistake made about the list of invitees or would you like to make a change to it?" 

Cade laughed, obviously expressing his distaste of the man mentioned by Jeremy in the sound he made. "Tell him it is an intimate occasion, and he has not made it to my intimate circle of acquaintances. Maybe he shall ask the Randalls instead." Cade replied. The person who called was a double faced social climber. He had no intentions to have further contacts with the man who talked thrash about him to a lower member of the elites.

"Very well sir. Also, any request for breakfast?" Jeremy added.

"The usual for me, and whatever Jack here wants." He turned to look at Jack fondly.

[akiravadel]

Jack grinned at Cade, "oh they'll hate me ol' Irish ass in five seconds." He made his accent even heavier as he spoke. "Ya know t'em older gents can't handle someone from outta there area. I'll be shure to not let them into my lucky cherms." Then a fit of giggles followed. That was how half his family sounded back home but he tried to make himself speak clearer around other people to keep them from getting upset with him. Might be another reason he was hard to sell. 

This would be his first time seeing his to be alpha in action. Hearing there was some politics going on he smiled awkwardly as he looked around the study checking it out. He looked over some of the books as they spoke about this man and whoever the Randalls were. Jack didn't give a damn about politics, he just cared about take care of his household and that meant the people living on their property and extended family. Even good 'ol Jeremy/Jarvis. Poor guy. 

Jack smiled back to Cade at the mention of food then looked to Jeremy, "coffee with creamer and um... I don't know protein something with a side of fruit." He shrugged his shoulders with a smile to Jeremy. He wasn't sure what he wanted right now. "I usually just throw together a smoothie in the morning but I don't want to put you guys through that mess." 

[3ruri]

Cade didn't care one bit about Jack's accent. On some men, maybe it sounded weird, but it was cute when Cade talk in heavier accent. "Maybe you can teach me a wod or two sometimes," he said, feeling like he could be silly sometimes with a fun partner like Jack. 

He had foreseen some people calling him about the wedding. Normally Cade would go big with whatever he planned. But for some reason he wanted only people that mattered on his wedding. That was the reason why the invitee list was kept under one hundred. He might had 'bought' Jack from his family, but Cade wanted to give them a meaningful start. Having social rats like Hughes who would suck up the Ambroses and at the same time talking bad behind their backs to other elite families such as the Randalls was a distasteful thought. He gave Jeremy a few more instructions on how to handle those requests and thanks the old man.

"Nothing is troublesome for you, my dear," he said nodding to Jeremy who understood what he was supposed to do. He left with acknowledgement to Jack's breakfast order, so the pair could proceed with their plans. "Now that that's out of the way. Let's go and play chase. Alpha chasing omega, with dogs in tow," Cade remarked brightly and showed Jack another way out to the grounds.

[akiravadel]

Jack smiled over at him, "I could teach ya a lot of words ta say." It seemed like there was a lot of people around this family and sounded like not all of them were nice. If any talked bad about his alpha he'd cut them down with his words, or physically if need be. He wasn't sure how his family would feel about going to the wedding. Of course his older sister and mother would be there. He knew his father and probably older brothers wouldn't be as nice. 

"Chase the omega huh?" Jack knew that instinct was strong and he was wanting to tease Cade a little. Being as high energy as he was they hadn't really had the full experience of each other yet. Jack smirked at him then they got outside. He recognized which way to the dogs, looked back at Cade, winked, then took off in a fast run. The little omega was a runner so he was really quick on his feet. Nothing like stirring up some primal instincts in his mate. 

Jumping over a bush he was able to clear it then turned around another tree trying to give him a hard chase and not an easy catch. Giggling along the way through his panting. Running was a really nice way of exercise but also this would be a fun bonding for them. Or he'd stir up his alpha too much, he'd run and see.

[3ruri]

“You teach me your accent, I’ll teach you how to give a verbal slap to snotty elites,” Cade bargained. These little promises gave Cade more reason to look forward to their future, knowing there wont be a bland moment with Jack.

The sun was still far on the horizon when they stepped outside. Jack took off almost immediately and he was so fast, Cade was glued ti the ground for a few seconds. Then he heard the sweet giggles and Cade grinned so wide his cheeks hurt. Yes, it was a predator-chasing-prey kind of game, but Cade wanted his omega to have all the spaces to run, and in time, the alpha in him will build up the strategy and pounced at the right moment. 

Cade chased Jack through bushes and round the trees. His mate made him jumped over boulders and fences. When they came across the waterlili pond, Cade had to stop for a breath, Jack way ahead of him. “Come on Jackie, save some energy for the dogs,” he called out, trying to get Jack to slow down a little. “Come an gimme a kiss. I need a mouth-to-mouth resusitation.” Cade decided to use a little charm as well.

[akiravadel]

Jack giggling only winded him more but it was alright. He'd catch his breath at some point. He heard him a way behind him and decided to stop and turn around to job back to him, "oh no! Mouth to mouth!" He giggled while panting when he came back up to give him a kiss with a loud 'muah' to go with it. "Oh no I think you need more." Wrapping his arms around him even if they were a little sweaty he didn't mind. Giving him a few more kisses he chuckled to pull back taking a couple big breaths himself. "Wooo light headed. I don't normally run then make out."

Smiling up at his alpha that cheeky grin of his starting to become a staple of his expressions he showed his alpha, "sorry I have way too much energy. One reasons for the running and the streaming. It lets me work some of that out." It would explain why he was slim but also toned a little. He wasn't allowed weight training as an omega but if he had he might've been a little more buff. 

Looking over at the pond the sun was just starting to rise so the mist was over the water, "that's really pretty." He rubbed his hand over his alpha's back. His little omega was certainly a ball of energy when he wasn't meant to have proper moments. 

[3ruri]

Cade opened his arms for his omega and took the playful kisses given. "Hmm, if this is the kind of reward I get, maybe I'd come out to run more often rather than just burning out in the gym. I can do a little weigh lifting as well," he said and lifted Jack's butt and squeezed his little omega body. He was warm from all the running and slightly sweaty, but that didn't stop Cade from holding him close. The hint of floral and citrus was still there and surrounded by the beautiful nature around them, Jack stood out. Cade would never mistake his mate with anything else. 

"I like your energy," Cade admitted. "It's been so long since I was able to enjoy frolicking like this. I sometimes forgot that there are more to life that all the things that kept me busy. But you know, my name came with a big responsibility. And that responsibility will somehow will be yours as well. But even with that, I don't want you to change. I want you to be you," Cade stared into the blues and naturally, his lips descended and he stole a sweet kiss from Jack's lips. "I may have to set some bars, but I think you'd do just fine, Sean Ambrose -- no Jack Ambrose's way. Sean Ambrose may be the name signed, but deep down, I know you'd love to be Jack. I think that would be fun."

Cade had seen the grounds from he was little, since he had lived there for years, but somehow, he agreed with Jack that it was indeed beautiful. It cemented his beliefs that everything was made even more beautiful with his omega by his side. Of all things that Cade had done, whether it was in his business or choices, JAck was the best one he had ever made in his whole life.

[akiravadel]

Jack giggled as he was lifted up wrapping his arms around his alpha, "you can't just lift me all the time," He stepped back not wanting to rub all his sweat on him. Looking up at him with those big blue eyes his expression warmed a bit as he spoke about him liking how he was and that he wanted him to be himself. He was starting to tear up a little when he leaned in for the sweet kiss but then smiled to give a little chuckle. "Jack's actually a nickname for Sean in Ireland. Me mum calls me Jack or Jackie."

Reaching up he tried to casually wipe his eyes and pretend he wasn't just about to cry, "uh..." He cleared his throat trying to hide that he'd said some things that made him really happy and feel really good. "Um... run yes. Pups." He turned to try to finish wiping his eyes off. Cade hit really deep with the little things he'd told him. Simply wanting him to be him struck deep when you were told your whole life you wouldn't be allowed to be you. The relief was immense.

Taking a shaky breath he tried to distract himself, "I'm sure they're wanting a nice little run. You and the dogs will have to try to keep up." So many things were different here than he thought they would be. He hadn't even seen a full day in this house, he'd showed up late afternoon yesterday. This morning had been very nice so far and it was only getting better. He hoped it kept going this way. 

[3ruri]

"That's what I don't get!" Cade said, feigning confusion. "How did Sean becomes Jack? I mean, I know it's also a nickname for John... Wait...Sean...John...nevermind. It's going to give me headaches," Cade rubbed his temples, just to be a little dramatic. "And Jackie sounds cuter, so when you're being cute, I shall call you Jackie." Which might as well be all the time because Jack is cute, and Cade was being a cheesy fiance.

Cade noticed the tears and he wanted to kiss it away, but it seemed like happy tears. He cupped Jack's cheeks in his hands and wiped the wetness with his thumbs. "Don't cry just yet, save it for our big day." He said, smiling as he looked into Jack's eyes. He knew Jack was just trying to stay strong. He wondered what had taken place in the young omega's life that he was affected by Cade's words. He was sincere, but it was normal for people to want their loved ones to be themselves. Isn't that part of accepting one another?

"I think the dogs will be your match. They're way too hyper and I hope you'd save some of your energy for me," he winked, insinuating he had plans for Jack later. They headed to the kennels, Cade holding Jack's hand in his and without noticing, started swinging their hands as they walked side by side.
