🌈Sunday's Short Stack🌈: Gemini Kisses for the Omega by Lacey Daize
Mountain Springs Omegas #6
Kyle is ready for the next stage in life, but his best friend wants one last night of fun before he leaves.
Kyle's just graduated with a degree in teaching, and is starting off by spending his summer cutting his teeth at a youth camp outside Mountain Springs. But his best friend, Tyler, wants one more night of fun before he leaves. So they head down to the local dance slash sex club. At first Kyle just wanted to enjoy his evening, then he saw him, his alpha.
Evan is starting to feel his age, but his twin brother Ethan seems as young as ever.
Evan has just watched another class graduate, and the thought of heading to the dance slash sex club in Mount Sable is starting to feel more and more like something that should be left to younger alphas. It's only a matter of time until he runs into one of his former students there, and that can't happen. But Ethan is so excited, and he can't deny his brother. However he doesn't expect to see his omega there.
But there's more to romance than love at first sight, and when neither is sure of the other's intentions can they really form a lasting bond?
Recipe for Romance
One Alpha
One Omega
A Chance Meeting
An Oblivious Twin
The Push of Fate
Mix well, garnish with peppermint hot chocolate.
Gemini Kisses for the Omega is a 14.5K word , non-shifter, M/M, Mpreg romance, featuring some mischievous twins, a hopeful omega, some knotty fun, and plenty of misunderstandings
This is another story in Lacey Daize's Mountain Springs Omegas series and what a delightfully fun summer read that won't take long. Yes, it's a short novella but also because it sucks you in and before you know it you're swiping the last page.
As you can expect with alpha Evan being a twin there is bound to be some conflict or miscommunications that tend to follow twins around. You want to shout at Kyle to think about it first before sticking his foot in his mouth but then you remember Evan never mentioned the twin so then you want to shout at Evan for leaving that bit out😉.
Despite a few mix-ups due to lack of knowledge, Gemini Kisses for the Omega is fun and very much rom-comy that will make you chuckle, smile, laugh, and just a pure entertaining short journey.
Chapter 1 - Kyle
“Hey Ty, have you seen my hoodie?”
“I threw it away,” Tyler shouted from his room.
I marched down the hall and stood in his doorway, glaring at him. “Why would you throw away my favorite hoodie?”
“Because that cheating asshole gave it to you, and it reeked of him, and you need a new start.”
“I can wash out the alpha stench! It was comfy!”
“And every time you put it on the past few months you got the sniffles. You only stopped crying over the damn thing when it got too hot to wear it.”
“That’s still no reason to toss it!”
He stood from his bed, walked over, and rested his hands on my shoulders. “I’ll buy you a new hoodie, ok. But you need a clean break, which means tossing any fond memory of that alphahole to the curb. You’ve just graduated, and you’re headed off to a new job. It’s time to find a new alpha too.”
I crossed my arms. “I’m done with alphas for now. They’re nothing but cheating knotheads.”
He grinned at me. “Good. Now how about we take that attitude away from your packing and hit the club tonight.”
I slapped my forehead with my palm. “Being done with alphas doesn’t mean I want to go grind against them all night.”
Tyler laughed. “Come on. The movers will be here Monday for your stuff. This is our last chance to have fun before you move out.”
“I’m only moving to Mountain Springs. It’s not like I’m moving across the country. It’s just over an hour away, so we can still meet up a ton.”
“Not the same as down the hall,” Tyler replied, crossing his arms. “Besides, nothing like a cutie like you leaving a bunch of alphas with blue balls to get revenge.”
I sighed. Tyler had been my best friend since we were kids, and I knew his moods as well as my own. I could argue as much as I wanted, but eventually he’d drag me to the club.
“I’m not driving,” I replied. “We’re going to get a ride, and I’ll text when I want to leave before you. That way you can decide if you’re done or if you want to get another ride on your own.”
Tyler held up one fist in victory. “That’s more like it. I hope you haven’t packed your skinny jeans yet. They’re the best wrapper to show off the goods, sure to make all the alphas around you drool.”
“I don’t want them to drool. I want to go, get a few drinks, maybe dance with you if you’re not trying to get a dick shoved up your ass, then come home and finish packing.”
“Hey, you could do with a dick up your ass too. It’s been since the asshole since you got laid, and an omega’s got needs. No harm in a bit of anonymous fun.”
“Uh-huh…” I deadpanned. “Ever hear of babies? They can be a side effect of the whole dick in ass thing yanno.”
“Come on. Pack a rubber in your wallet and make him wear it. You’re far enough from your heat it should be enough. Besides, I thought you wanted babies.”
“Not with some rando from a club.”
“Try it, I bet you’ll like it.”
“Not happening,” I stated. “I’ve gone to that club with you for years and have never gone upstairs. I’m not going to start tonight.”
Tyler sighed. “It’s not as weird as you seem to think, and way better than getting dicked down in some back alley.”
“Yeah, I don’t do that either.”
Tyler huffed his long bangs from his forehead. “And that’s why you let the alphahole stay with you for so long. You’re too stuck in the ‘relationship’ mindset. You need to sometimes treat sex as just sex and not something that only couples do.”
“Yeah, not happening. But you enjoy getting all that instead.”
“Oh I will,” he said with a wink. “Come on, let’s go find you something sexy to wear.”
“Only cause it’ll shut you up.”
“That’s the spirit,” he laughed. “One last blast before my bestie moves out.”
“I’m still mad at you for throwing out my hoodie you know.”
“I know, but I still don’t regret it. You need to forget about him, and this is the best way to make a clean break.”
“Yeah, yeah. Jerk.”
“Just wait. You’ll thank me later when you meet a fantastic alpha who’s not turned off by the reek of the trash who hurt you.”
The club was packed, but I wasn’t surprised. It was the start of summer and everybody was looking for a release.
“Name?” asked the bouncer. “
Kyle Donahue,” I replied, used to the routine ever since Tyler had brought me to the club the first time.
The bouncer nodded and I swiped my license when he motioned to the machine. A moment later my name appeared on his screen.
“Looks like all your waivers are in order. Any changes?”
“I’m moving soon.”
He looked up. “Keeping the same phone number?”
I nodded.
“That’s good enough if we need to contact you” the bouncer said. “Go on in.”
I took a step past and turned, waiting for Tyler, who was right behind me.
He grinned and rubbed his hands together as he walked in. “Ok. Let’s get some drinks and find a place to sit.”
“I’ll handle the table and you get the drinks?” I proposed.
“Sounds good,” he replied. “The normal for you?”
“Yeah.”
“Ok, I’ll find you in a few.”
I looked around and spied an empty table off to one side. Tyler would want something closer to the dance floor, but he’d have to deal. He’d dragged me to the club, and I wanted to not be in the middle of everything.
I slipped onto the bench with a sigh of relief. It wasn’t uncommon for a table to be taken before I could get there, so to get one on the first try was a success.
Table acquired, I glanced over at the bar to see Tyler surrounded by alphas. As usual, he was flirting big-time, leaning towards one while making sure the others got a good view of his ass.
He’d definitely have taken a knot by the time we were ready to leave, which meant that I’d be alone for a decent chunk of the night.
I sighed. I should have known better. I had packing to do.
Then again, Tyler had a point. Even though I was only moving an hour away, I was moving. We’d never had more than a few minutes between us since we were children and he lived in the house across the street. We’d moved to Mount Sable together to attend college, and had shared first a dorm room, then an apartment.
When he presented as an omega first, we’d even hoped that I would be an alpha so that we’d always be together. That was how tight we were.
I really couldn’t begrudge him one last night out, though I wish he’d get our drinks and get back to the table rather than leaving me alone.
I started scanning the club. The ratio of alphas to omegas was pretty equal, so I hoped that I wouldn’t be hounded by horny knotheads while Tyler danced.
My eyes had just drifted back to the bar when my breath caught in my throat.
He was stunning, a gem shining from the garbage of the alphas surrounding him. Dark hair, and only lightly muscled. My cock twitched and I felt slick start near my entrance.
Then he turned, and our eyes met.
I couldn’t look away. I wanted—needed—that alpha. Everything inside me demanded that I let him take me somewhere private and fuck a baby into me before putting his mark on my neck.
A group of people passed between us, breaking the gaze, and it was like all the air suddenly slammed back into me.
I kept my eyes on the spot, but by the time the crowd had thinned my alpha had disappeared.
“Hey.”
I jumped to see Tyler standing next to the table.
“You ok?” he asked.
I swallowed, not wanting to admit that I’d wanted to be fucked by an alpha whom I’d only gotten a brief look at. “Yeah.”
