(BL)Alpha Made-Chapter 306: Even I can tell what you were up to

Andrew watched Maxwell with amber eyes as the man pulled up his underwear and then his pants, a little smirk on his face. He looked so damn pleased that the nervousness that Andrew was feeling from his actions faded slightly.

"I’m almost disappointed I don’t have any meetings today." Maxwell murmured. "I would have loved to know what it felt like to walk around the conference room with your cum inside of me." Andrew’s face warmed.

"You’re a pervert." Andrew said and Maxwell turned a devious grin his way.

"I’m your pervert. It’s only going to get worse when we actually try for kids. I’m going to be accosting you at all hours of the day, even though we both know it’s probably going to take like, two hours to get pregnant without birth control. I bet you have some pretty serious swimmers." Maxwell teased and Andrew gulped. Maxwell so speaking so casually of something that Andrew had been clear he was having issues about, but...

Andrew was a bit confused. The fear, the worry, it was still there but it had dulled slightly. He still felt like he might be a terrible father, might turn out just like the man that abandoned him and his Mom and left her to die but...he also didn’t think Maxwell would let him become like that.

No one in his life right now would let that happen.

"We won’t know that. We don’t know that." Andrew muttered quietly as Andrew grabbed the laptop and handed it over to Maxwell. Andrew adjusted his own clothes to attempt to make it look like they weren’t up to something...inappropriate for the workplace and Maxwell’s eyes sparkled.

"Hmm. Maybe. Can I get a kiss?" Andrew bent towards the man as soon as the words left his mouth and Maxwell laughed before he kissed his man. It was soft, warm, gentle. Maxwell was coaxing Andrew, and it kind of felt like he was rewarding him. For what? Andrew wasn’t sure, but he wasn’t going to turn down kisses from Maxwell.

Maxwell eventually released him, and with a smug, happy smile, he tugged Andrew out of the closet and back into the world of the company. Andrew did his best to appear like he hadn’t just had his way with their CEO in a closet, but he was sure the pheromones around him told a different story then what he was trying to project.

Thank goodness he worked with betas.

He saw Maxwell off in the lobby and could feel how everyone was staring at him. Maxwell was all smiles as the rest of the employees were coming in, and even demanded another kiss in full view of everyone else. Andrew wasn’t stupid enough to turn him down and Maxwell left for his elevator, a swing to his hips. Andrew knew it was for him, and damn it, if he didn’t feel like a puffed up chicken. Proud that that was his boyfriend right now.

Andrew turned, his face falling into a serious expression as he turned towards the elevator, a serious thought in his head. Maxwell already had a ring. It didn’t surprise him, not really, but that meant that Andrew had to step up his game. He had to get started on looking, and while going to regular jewelry stores or even the more expensive ones was something that he should do, for experience, he knew who to reach out to.

Andrew was typing away on his phone when he stepped into his office, not really paying attention since he expected to find just Dr. Cox and Dr. Piper inside. The sound of Maria coughing and clearing her throat had Andrew’s gaze widening and he jerked to a stop. Surprised.

Maria was covering her nose, her face flushed a ridiculously wide smile on her face.

"Holy moly! I can’t smell, but I can feel that. Andrew Knox! You bad boy!" Andrew dropped his phone, his face going bright red. It took him a second to realise what he’d done but by then Dr. Piper was already helping him gather his phone, a mischievous grin on her face. Even Dr. Cox had a little smile on her face.

"What were you up to that Maria reacted like that, Dr. Nice?" Dr. Piper asked, her grin so wide that Andrew covered his face with his hands. Dr. Piper picked up his phone, giggling in front of him as she held his phone in her hand.

"I can tell you that Maxy is probably walking a little strange." Maria offered and Dr. Piper let out a squeal of delight.

"Dr. Nice!" Dr. Piper screamed, smacking his shoulder while Andrew felt his face burn.

"Maria." He grumbled, embarrassed and Maria snorted.

"Don’t get mad at me. I’m not the one probably covered in omega pheromones. It’s so thick that even though I’m mated I can feel it." Andrew uncovered his face to be faced with Maria’s cheeky grin. "Maxy’s next level possessive, isn’t he?" She teased and Dr. Cox cleared her throat. Everyone turned to her.

"I doubt that Mr. Beckett is completely in the clear, Maria. He’s probably drowned in alpha pheromones." Dr. Piper let out another squeal at Dr. Cox’s offered words. Andrew felt like he was being ganged up on.

"H-He, I- Can we drop this?" Andrew begged and all three women grinned.

"Oh hell no. I’m teasing you about this for years. How often have you two been doing this? And hoping and praying that you get away with it?" Maria asked and he noticed how both Dr. Cox and Dr. Piper lit up at the question. They were curious about how often Andrew had been doing something naughty in the company under their noses.

Andrew supposed he was lucky that they were curious, and not upset by his actions. He ducked his head and sighed.

"This was...this was the first time we went the full way." Andrew muttered. "Just a few stolen kisses and stuff here and there until now." Andrew admitted.

"So you really were going the office romance route. Was that your doing?" Dr. Cox asked, a smug tone to her voice. Andrew felt like it was an unfair accusation that it was Andrew who had started this. Andrew was not.

He hadn’t started it with Tracey, and he hadn’t started it with Maxwell either. The reasons for starting this kind of behaviour were completely different, but it wasn’t lost on Andrew that both of his partners had asked Andrew to do that to him.

The difference? Maxwell was also wearing Andrew’s clothes like a brand, showing off who his partner was. If Maria was able to sense Maxwell’s pheromones on him, Maxwell was probably walking around begging others to ask him about who was all over him, what they had been up to.

Somehow that made Andrew more embarrassed.

"No. Max suggested it. I have...there was a reason for it." Andrew muttered and Maria gasped.

"Go get ’em Maxy. How bold. I shouldn’t be surprised though. He wants to make sure everyone knows you are off the market." Maria said, a smirk on her face. Andrew frowned.

"I am off the market, the same way Max is. Everyone knows we’re head over heels for each other." Andrew stated firmly and all of them shared a look.

"So you met up for a morning romp at work? That’s...almost cute." Maria said and Andrew opened his mouth to declare he was meeting his friend, but halted. Maria did know Richard, even in passing, and now wasn’t the time to get into the long, detailed explanation on what was going on with his life.

Instead, Andrew sighed and just...accepted the accusation.

"What are you doing here, Maria?" Andrew finally asked and Maria’s eyes lit up.

"I’m here to speak to Dr. Cox, of course! We had a nice chat yesterday after she got home and video called with Hewie and Bella. They both remembered each other, and were so excited to hear that they would be able to hang out together. We’re just going over the finishing details of a little contract that we’ve drafted and tomorrow, I get to take Bella with me to my house! Isn’t that so exciting?" She exclaimed and Andrew turned to look at Dr. Cox.

She looked nervous but also...like a big weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. She noticed that Andrew was staring at her and she cleared her throat, glancing at her computer screen.

"I haven’t taken her out of the other daycare completely yet. Just said she had some family up visiting that wanted to spend more time with her like Hailey said. We’re...just moving forward, is all. I don’t want to hold Bella back. She was...really excited to see Hewie again." She admitted softly, a smile on her lips that he had only seen when she spoke about Bella.

Andrew softened.

"Well, it’s a step. I’m sure it will work out." Andrew assured her and Dr. Cox let out a sigh.

"Here’s hoping." Dr. Cox said, not fully confident and Dr. Piper let out a loud, strange noise.

"Oh, stop being so pessimistic! It’s going to work out! Maria is practically a saint falling from the sky in your time of need! There’s no need to be so unsure! Plus, you know Dr. Nice wouldn’t back her up so much if she was a bad person, right? And you saw Hewie yesterday? No bad person would create someone like Hewie!" Dr. Piper said passionately and Maria laughed while Dr. Cox looked embarrassed.

Andrew went to where his work jacket was hung up and began to pull it on.

"It’s okay to be doubtful, Dr. Cox, but I do agree with Dr. Piper on this. Hewie couldn’t have been created by a bad person." Andrew said with a smile, winking at Maria when she turned her gaze to him. Her smile widened in a warm one and ended with her throwing her arms around Andrew’s neck and squeezing him tightly before she let him go.

"Awe. You’re both so sweet, but this is really up to Bella and Dr. Cox. If she hates my house...well, there’s nothing I can do about it!" Maria said with a shrug. "Anyways, I should be getting back. I put Hewie down for his morning nap and even though my cleaning ladies are lovely, they aren’t paid to do childcare. Bye everyone!" Maria left, once more leaving chaos behind her, but this time it was a warm kind of chaos.

Dr. Cox had a warm smile on her face, as did Dr. Piper and Andrew. He was glad that it felt like everything was working out for everyone, even as he felt a sense of urgency pulse in his chest. He needed to get in contact with them asap.
