Chapter 32
THIRTY-TWO
Felix has been in heat for two days, and it does not appear to be coming to an end.
After our bond, he fell deep into the heat haze.
He hasn’t bonded Gabriel yet, but I know it’s only a matter of time.
I think on a subconscious, primal level, he’s waiting to be a little more lucid before he takes that step.
Our Omega whimpers a little in his sleep, and I know I should rest with him, but I’m keyed up. This was a significant shift in my relationship with Gabriel, and I’m still processing it. We’d kissed before, but the moment Felix went into heat, our relationship morphed.
I’m not going to complain about ending up naked on my knees in front of the gorgeous Alpha. The past two days have been about Felix, though, and while Gabriel and I are not avoiding touching one another, we haven’t made that final leap, yet.
“You should sleep,” my Alpha says, sitting beside me. His hair is still wet from the shower, and his dark eyes are tired. “While you can.”
“I could say the same to you, Alpha.”
He chuckles and looks at our sleeping Omega. “Yeah, well, my instincts are riding me hard, so I wouldn’t be able to even if I wanted to.”
I angle my body facing him and reach out to touch his arm. “Your instincts? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong,” he says, cupping my cheek in his hand. “I am fighting my hindbrain, trying to keep myself under control.”
“I don’t think Felix wants you under control,” I murmur. His hand is so warm, and I can’t stop myself from nuzzling into it. “He’d enjoy you losing control.”
“It’s not our Omega I’m worried about controlling myself around.
I don’t want to push you into something you’re not ready for.
I don’t think either of us expected things to move this quickly.
” He chuckles and looks over at Felix, who is naked and stretched out in front of us.
“But I should’ve expected he was going to go all in immediately. ”
“You don’t have to hold yourself back,” I say in a rush. “Felix was right. This feels meant to be. I don’t need to wait if you don’t.”
Gabriel is devastatingly handsome at all times, but when he smiles, my heart stops.
He crashes his lips onto mine and pushes me flat against the nest in the same movement.
The towel that was loosely wrapped around his waist falls off, and our naked bodies slide together, his stiff cock and half-inflated knot bumping against my core with every movement.
I’m panting into his mouth, needy despite having come and been fucked by Felix more times in the past two days than I have in the past two years. Gabriel doesn’t wait, taking me at my word when I told him he could lose control, and notches his cock at my slick entrance.
He slides into me, gently, torturously slow, mindful of the fact that I am not like Felix, primed to take him at a moment’s notice. When his knot hits my clit and he rotates his hips, grinding into me, I barely stifle a pleasured yelp. I manage to smother it before it wakes up Felix.
“You’re going to be a good girl and be quiet, aren’t you?” he says, placing his hand over my mouth. “Our Omega needs his rest.”
I nod rapidly, and he doesn’t remove his hand as he starts to pump into me. His fingers tighten around my mouth, my breath growing shallower with every stroke.
“Look at you,” he coos, looking at the spot where we connect. “You’re taking me so well, Beta. Do you think you could take my knot?”
My eyes widen, and I shake my head. I have never taken a knot, and I have never tried. The idea scares me.
Thankfully, Gabriel chuckles knowingly. “I know you’re not ready. But maybe Felix and I can get you there, teach you how to take it. Would you like that?” Truthfully, I don’t know if I would. He must read the hesitation on my face, because he pulls his hand away. “Color?”
“Yellow,” I answer without thought.
He nods, bending down to place a sweet kiss on my mouth as he slowly drags his cock out of me. “Thank you for being honest with me, Clara.”
I cannot explain why, but this is the moment that I know, deep in my gut, that Gabriel is forever for me.
We’re not able to bond to one another, and both of us being with Felix doesn’t mean we have to be together romantically.
Nothing ties us together other than our scent match, and those are easy for Beta and Alpha pairings to ignore if they want to.
Yet, I want him forever.
His fingers find my clit, and my toes curl, my hips rising, as he expertly guides me into a sweet, gentle climax. It doesn’t shake the earth, I don’t scream out his name. It’s soft, romantic, as he continues to guide himself into me, kissing me deeply as he loses himself in me.
We lay there together, his forehead pressed on the nest beside my head, our chests heaving. I’m not sure how long we’re there before a soft whine drags our attention to Felix. He’s wide awake, his hand on his cock, the swollen head peeking out as he fucks his fist.
“So beautiful,” he whines, groaning as he spills into his hand. “Need you both.”
