Chapter 10
Gus
Seb’s laughter, which was now, without question, my favorite sound in the world, rippled through me where we were still connected.
Okay, so maybe only my second favorite. Gods, the sound when Seb came on my cock had been everything.
Like it originated from deep inside his core.
Like a primal scream that unleashed something inside me, something wild and needy.
Almost like it wasn’t just Seb and me coming together in perfect unison, but all alphas and omegas before us.
Like it’s supposed to be, a forbidden voice whispered inside me.
I quickly pushed the thought away. I couldn’t get used to this.
It would only make me sad when the heat ended, and I would have to leave Seb.
Closing my eyes, I breathed him in, and his sweet omega scent filled my lungs.
As much as I’d loved fucking Seb, claiming him, I thought I loved this part even more.
I’d just had sex for the first time, with not only the most beautiful man I’d ever met, but the king.
It still blew my mind. I’d gone searching for honey, only to find the most precious elixir I’d ever tasted.
My need for Seb was insatiable. The urgency had calmed down for now, but it was still there, the need like a quiet hum in my body.
When my knot went down enough for me to ease Seb off me, I left the bed and started looking for my clothes or what was left of them. Seb was dozing, whimpering with his eyes closed, as his hands reached for me blindly.
“I’ll be right back,” I whispered. “You need food, Omega.”
“I need you,” he mumbled, but he was too spent to move.
Bending, I picked up my shirt, which was ripped down the middle, every button torn off. Shrugging, I put it on, then grabbed my pants and slid them up my legs. They were in no better state, but at least they were enough to cover me up while I got the food.
I found the hallway deserted when I opened the door and peeked outside.
A trolley stood just outside the door with two large silver trays, with cold meats, cheese, bread, and an assortment of fresh fruit arranged on one, whereas the other was filled with cakes, sweet treats, and three small jars of golden honey.
A large carafe of what looked like apple juice stood next to one with chilled water.
My stomach clenched with hunger. I had to feed my body before Seb’s next heatwave. And I needed to attend to my omega too.
Moving the trolley inside, I brought the platter of food to the bed and placed it next to Seb. His cute nose scrunched up as he smelled the food, but he didn’t open his eyes.
“If you expect me to eat, Gus, then you’ll have to feed me, because I can’t move my arms.”
“It’ll be my pleasure, Your Majesty.” Smiling, I reached for a piece of sliced turkey, then propped it on a small chunk of bread.
“Your Majesty?” His eyes blew wide open, and he glared at me.
“We’re back to that now, are we? What happened to Little Omega or my mate?
” He smirked, then bit his bottom lip, and the mark he’d left on my neck itched.
Oh shit, that’s what I’d called him, wasn’t it?
In the throes of passion, as my instincts had taken over, all common sense had gone out the window.
“That was… I didn’t…” I held out the piece of bread between us.
Seb shrugged. “It was only heat talk. I get it. We have no control over our bodies or our mouths.”
“Yeah. Heat talk,” I agreed, although a sudden wistfulness coursed through me. Focusing back on the food, I attempted a smile. “You need to eat. Before the next wave hits.”
“I do. We both do. The next one will be even stronger.” Leaning in, I felt Seb’s hot breath on my chin.
“Feed your omega, Alpha. Then feed yourself. You’ll need it.
” Then he winked before closing his lips around the piece of bread.
Holy shit. My cock stirred back to life.
Grabbing a slice of ham and a chunk of bread, I quickly stuffed them into my mouth, and Seb laughed.
I swallowed, then reached for some grapes, and, picking them off the stem, one by one, I fed them to him.
Juice trickled down Seb’s chin as he munched happily on the fruit, his lips shiny, his eyelids puffy with tiredness.
He was so beautiful. Everything about him was.
It was almost like some divine power had reached into my soul, read my mind, and created the perfect man for me.
“Oh, gods,” Seb smacked his lips. “Did food always taste this good?”
“Never,” I blurted, then popped a grape into my mouth.
Seb laughed again. Then he reached out and brushed his fingers through my bangs.
“You’re cute.” His voice was filled with wonder.
Then he frowned. “I always thought alphas were scary and… dangerous. But there’s nothing frightening about you, Gus.
You’re…” He shook his head, then reached for a chunk of cheese and held it to my lips.
“What?”
“Soft. Gentle. Kind.” His green eyes darkened, his nostrils flaring. “Hot.”
I felt a blush creep along my cheeks, then down my neck.
Hot? I sure felt hot right now, but I knew that wasn’t what he’d meant.
Instead, something made me spill my darkest secret to him.
“I don’t feel dangerous. I know that I am.
To you. Or at least I could be if it weren’t for the magic.
But I don’t feel it. Deep inside, I know I could never hurt you, Seb.
” And I’d never let anyone else hurt you either.
Somehow, I knew that I would protect Seb with everything that I was, until my dying breath.
Not because he was my king but because he was my omega.
“Maybe he was wrong, then,” I thought I heard Seb mumble.
“Huh?”
“Nothing. Eat, Alpha. Then I think we can just squeeze in a bath before the next wave hits.”
“A bath?”
“Yes, I feel crusty, musty, and dusty.” He wrinkled his nose. “I can smell myself, and not in a good way.”
“I think you smell just fine.” I did. I thought he smelled better than the honey bread Lord Willoughby’s cook made for Christmas, and that was just about the best smell in the world.
“I think you’re biased,” Seb snorted.
“Biased?” I had no clue what that meant.
“Yes. Like your instincts tell you to like everything about me during a heat.”
“Oh.” He was probably right, but somehow it felt like I would always like everything about Seb, regardless of whether he was in heat.
“So, a bath it is!”
“We can’t go to the lake like this!” I took in Seb’s naked form, my marks on him, dried cum clinging to his skin.
“Not the lake, you silly alpha,” he chuckled. “I have a tub, remember? Well, I have several, but we’ll only need one.”
“Oh, right.” My possessive inner beast settled down at the thought of Seb leaving this room as long as he was in heat.
“Now eat, Gus.” He ruffled my hair, then leaned in like he was going to kiss me.
I closed my eyes in anticipation. I’d never been kissed before.
What would it feel like? His soft lips against mine, his slender fingers buried in my hair, tugging at the strands.
But none of that happened. Instead, I felt him brush up against me as he left the bed.
“Where are you going?” My eyes flew open. Then I sighed with relief as I saw him reach for the carafe of juice.
“Just thirsty. You must be too.” I nodded and then accepted the glass he held out toward me.
“Thank you.”
“My pleasure.”
The water prickled my skin as I eased myself into the steaming tub.
The scent of roses hung in the air around me, and underneath was Seb’s sweet, intoxicating scent.
He was in the tub already, waiting for me.
He’d offered that I could go bathe in my own room, but I’d refused to leave his side even for one minute.
I thought I might die if I left him out of sight.
A bond was forming—call it instinct or whatever—but I felt it.
It was like Seb was becoming a part of me.
“This is nice,” I sighed as my body disappeared under the foamy surface.
“Better than the lake?” Seb’s eyes twinkled with mirth.
“Nothing beats the lake.”
“Oh, really? Not even this?” His fingers snaked up my inner thigh underneath the water, and despite the hot water, I shivered.
“No,” I lied as I slowly melted.
“Liar.” Seb glared at me victoriously as a desperate groan left my throat.
Reaching for him, I turned Seb around, then pulled him against me, his back against my front.
The imprint of my teeth was clear against his pale, unblemished skin.
Grabbing a sponge from the edge of the tub, I soaked it in the water, then squeezed it over his shoulders.
“Mhhhmmm,” he hummed, his head lolling forward, his shoulder bones protruding from his body like small wings. “That feels so good.”
“Yeah?”
“Uh-huh. More, please.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” I said, then chuckled when he groaned. Dipping the sponge back into the water, I swept it along his spine, up and down, in soothing movements. “I love how pale you are,” I admitted. “How small and frail.”
“I love your sun-kissed skin,” he whispered, leaning into me. “How the sun has teased freckles from your skin. How big your hands are. So rough-looking, yet so careful when they touch me.”
I knew this was the heat talking, but somehow it didn’t feel like it was just our instincts carrying us away. Somehow it felt like more, like the way lovers spoke to each other, intimate and heartfelt.
“Oh, gods,” Seb whined, breaking the spell. His hands clawed at the edge of the tub as his body shook. “Oh, gods, Gus.”
“I’m here. I’ve got you.” Wrapping my arm around his middle, I reached for a towel with my other hand. “Let me get you out of the water. Can you stand?”
“No!” he cried out.
“Okay, okay. Bad idea. Lean against me, and I’ll lift you.
We need to get you at least a little dry.
” He nodded frantically, leaning all his weight on me as I lifted him from the water.
Once he was standing, clinging to me, his legs wobbly, slick running down his legs, mixing with the water, I wrapped the towel around him.
“Guuus! Please hurry up!” he screamed, then bent over with a deep guttural moan as pain shot through him.
Stepping out of the tub, I quickly lifted him, cocooned in the towel.
In long strides, I headed for the bed, water dripping from my body and onto the floor.
I didn’t care. My omega was in pain, and he needed me desperately.
Lying him on the bed, I rubbed his body carefully with the towel, but sweat appeared on his skin as soon as I dried it.
“Ugh, are you trying to kill me?!” He kicked his legs, hitting me on my hip.
“Get your big cock inside me. Now!” He sounded possessed; looked it, too.
Then I felt it inside my gut, in my chest, and throughout my entire body.
The beast resurfaced, ready to claim what was his by some law of nature.
My cock filled with blood and stood out from my body, hard and erect.
Grabbing Seb around his ankles, I dragged him toward me.
He screamed, his eyes wild, slick oozing from his pink, puffy hole as it gaped at me invitingly.
He was so ready for me, for my cock. He was born to be filled by me, to be bred, to be claimed.
With a roar, I pulled him onto my cock, and Seb screamed with relief.
I felt his soft womb against the head of my cock.
Not yet, but soon, I’d fuck his womb and spill my seed inside him.
I’d breed him and create a new life. I’d heard other alphas talk about breeding orgasms. How wild they were, how magical, almost, but it was hard to imagine that it could be any better than this.
Seb clenched around me, like he was trying to squeeze cum from my body.
“Fuck me, Alpha! Harder. I need it harder. Tear me apart!” His eyes were locked on mine, but his gaze was dark and vacant.
He was already too far gone. I fucked him harder, my hips surging forward in sharp, deep thrusts.
Seb sounded like he was in pain, but there was no mistaking the source of his sounds.
His pleasure was building along with my own as we moved toward our release.
I shifted my hips, and I must have hit him differently, because a mewling sound grew from his chest.
“Aaaahhhh! That’s it. Right fucking there, Alpha.
Give me your seed. Give it to me. Fuuuccckkk!
” Liquid splattered across my stomach and chest as Seb’s cock spurted ropes and ropes of milky-white omega cum.
His scent permeated the air and hit me like a giant wave.
I breathed in his release, and it triggered my own.
“You want my cum, Little Omega?” I buried my face against his neck, then nudged his head to the side, the mark I’d given him earlier bright red as it beckoned at me. Sucking his skin into my mouth, I dug my teeth into him and claimed him again.
“Yes! Fucking give it to me!” Seb yelled as the distinct taste of blood filled my mouth, causing something to snap in my brain. Licking along the bite, my need for him increased tenfold.
“Oh, I will. You’ll get it. I’ll give you anything you need, Omega.
” I pumped my hips faster a couple of times, before I spilled inside him with a howl that nearly blew out my eardrums. As I filled him, Seb rippled around me while he continued to moan with contentment.
My knot grew, locking us together again, and I sighed as the beast in me settled, happy and sated. For now, at least.
