11. Mate #2
Kissing him again, my tongue probing his mouth as I continued to piston into him, my orgasm teetering on the brink.
I couldn’t think of anything else. He’d said yes, he’d asked for it first. It wouldn’t take if he couldn’t consent, so no harm would be done.
I left his lips, Kade crying out at another savage thrust nailing his prostate.
Kissing along his jaw, I trailed kisses towards the spot where his neck met his shoulder.
Licking and laving the spot, I willed myself to wait until he asked again.
“Now dammit!” he shouted and finally, I bit hard and fast.
My teeth broke skin. Kade’s tangy blood filled my mouth, and I swallowed the precious liquid down.
Pulling back, I licked the wound to stop it bleeding at the same instant that Kade came, trembling in my arms and clinging to me.
A sugary sweet scent filled the room, smelling like baked oranges with cinnamon, and Kade whimpered.
His skin warmed under my hands and more slick slid from his body.
His orgasm went on and on, forcing mine to follow as his muscles contracted around me.
With great difficulty, I willed my knot back, the pain from denying it sparked along my dick and balls.
My orgasm was the most intense I’d ever felt, even with the pain.
I groaned into his neck as I filled him. Nothing had ever felt his right.
“Knot me.” He demanded.
I moved to meet his eyes. “Are you —“
“I’m in heat. I need your knot.”
My thrusts had slowed as he came, but Kade begged for more.
I was still rock hard inside him, despite just finding my release.
I rocked into him harder until I pulled out, making Kade cry out in frustration.
“What —“ I flipped him over onto all fours and pushed back inside him, setting a furious pace, desperate need clawing at me.
Hammering my cock deep inside him even as he sobbed for more.
The rut was almost terrifying in its ferocity.
I was glad I’d read the blog from the alpha and the omega, otherwise the feeling would have had me completely lost and out of my depth.
I knew it was just an alpha’s response to an omega’s heat, but I hadn’t expected to feel like it had taken over my body.
My wolf stirred, sensing my distress, and reminded me that my omega, Kade, was fine.
He was delirious with pleasure as I fucked him into the mattress.
His arms had given up holding him and he clawed at the sheets with human fingers as he moaned with every movement inside him, his wolf strangely absent.
There was no time to dwell on what was happening with his wolf.
Kade’s heat needed attending, and I felt the moment that a wave spiked.
Kade came again, untouched this time. His hole, like a vise around my cock, had me crying out as my orgasm hit me out of nowhere.
There was no stopping my knot forming this time, and I roughly shoved it inside Kade, apologizing as he wailed. “I’m sorry,”
“It’s okay,” he slurred. “Feels good.”
Good didn’t even cover it. Slumping back on my heels, I stared in fascination at where Kade and I were still joined. Waves of pleasure from each spasm of his hole around my knot sent shudders through me.
I eased down over him and shifted us onto our sides, careful to avoid jostling Kade too much. Movement tugging on his rim had him wincing. Stroking his soft skin and kissing my mark, I basked in the afterglow with him as he sighed and panted.
We lay there together for a while, maybe half an hour.
There were no clocks or any way of determining the time in the room we were in.
It was more like a cell since I knew it was underground and had no windows.
They filtered the air for scents and re-circulated it to prevent alphas going crazy over the smell of omegas in heat.
Kade dozed as I watched over him, my knot still being massaged by his inner muscles. When it finally went down, I slipped from his body carefully. The longer he slept, the better. When his heat peaked again, he’d need the energy.
Needing something to do, some way of tending to my mate, I checked a poster informing me of how to order food or supplies we might need and put in an order for some snacks, hopeful that Kade would manage to eat a little something.
Then I grabbed some small towels and cleaned him up carefully before attending to myself.
The rut I’d gone into had quelled the same way Kade’s heat wave had, simmering low as I waited for the next to rise.
A single knock announced the food tray was on a cart outside and I hastily opened the door, yanked it in, nearly overturning the thing, before locking the door again. I didn’t want anyone to scent Kade or see him naked and spread out on the bed.
“Blake?” came his sleepy voice.
“I’m here. There’s food if you’d like to try something?”
“Please. Is there water?” he whispered, and I hoped he wasn’t having second thoughts.
The citrus sugary smell had softened into something more like Kade’s usual tangerine and grass scent, meaning that he was at the bottom of a wave and had time to get some sustenance.
I made him a plate of my favorites and my wolf preened as Kade’s eyes lit up at the offering, immediately picking out the things I loved best and popping them into his mouth.
He chewed around a moan and I couldn’t help my smile or the warm feeling in my chest at the rightness at feeding my mate.
My father had it backwards. Alphas were made for serving omegas, not the other way around.
Omegas brought life, heart, to a pack. An unhappy omega meant an unhappy pack.
I vowed then to my wolf and The Luna that I would honor the gift that she had given me by caring for my omega’s every need if he’d let me.
After Kade finished eating, he washed quickly as I ate and changed the sheets. My mother had taught me basic housekeeping skills as a child, often at the risk of a beating, because she wanted me to value my partner as The Luna intended and not as our pack deemed right.
“Oh,” Kade stopped in the doorway, a towel circling his waist, and stared at me as I put the finishing touches to the bedding.
“I, uh, thought you’d be more comfortable in a clean bed.” I rubbed the back of my neck self-consciously, taking a seat on the edge.
“Thank you.”
His scent changed then, signaling another wave about to peak, and it was like a switch flipped inside Kade. He’d gone from this quiet, almost withdrawn guy to someone much more demanding. He flicked his towel off. “Get up the bed.”
I did as ordered. His tone made me half hard. The look in his eyes as he took in my body worked to harden me fully. I loved the shift in scent and watching the changes in him as the wave took over.
He crawled up the bed towards me, his eyes on mine the whole time, until he reached my cock.
Kade ran his tongue up the length and swirled it around the head, moaning at the taste of my precum.
Taking it into his mouth, he sucked me deep; the tip hitting the back of his throat.
He sucked me slowly, seeming to love the taste and feel of me in his mouth.
His eyes were full of mischief as he deep-throated me, holding my cock and swallowing around it.
My hands found their way into his hair, unable to resist touching him in some way. I tugged at the soft curls and shivered as he moaned around my cock. His scent wrapped around me, driving me wild, but I used the last bit of restraint I had to allow Kade to run this show.
Kade must have sensed how close I was to taking over as he kissed the tip of my cock with a cheeky look and kissed up my torso. He nipped and licked each of my nipples as his scent got sweeter and he began to sweat.
Without warning, he raised up, positioned my cock at his entrance and slid down on my length, groaning as each hard inch filled and stretched him. “So good,” he panted as his ass met my groin. I sucked in a deep breath, my orgasm on a hair trigger. The things this guy did to me.
Rising and falling at a steady pace, Kade rode me, staring into my eyes the whole while.
It felt so right to give over control to him, to allow him to take his pleasure and satisfy me.
I returned his gaze, trying to pour in my growing affection for him, my joy at being his mate, and my gratitude at his trust.
I loved the feel of being inside him as he rocked us both towards orgasm. The sounds he made and his touch heightened the experience to the point it felt surreal that this was actually happening.
His movements sped up, and I planted my feet to push up as he came down, my cock driving deep inside him. He wailed as I hit his enlarged prostate, the heat hormones making it more sensitive. Kade began begging for me to fuck him harder and deeper as he clutched at my chest and worked his hips.
The wave peaked, the room flooded with the scent, and the rut took over. Thrusting up as I encircled his waist, holding him close to me, Kade went pliant in my arms and ceded control. The room filled with the sound of sex, our grunts and Kade’s whispered pleas.
My universe narrowed to the man in my arms and bringing him as much pleasure as possible. My wolf, not remembering or caring about the contraceptive I’d taken earlier, wanted to breed Kade. To fill his belly with precious pups.
When he came, I followed, not even restraining my urge to knot him.
This time, it formed inside him and stretched him gently and he sighed in pleasure as I filled him with spurt after spurt.
Each tiny movement set off a ripple effect, with Kade spilling small amounts of hot cum between us, his muscles clamping down on my knot, massaging it and making me groan, another stream leaking from my aching cock.
Kade slumped against me and fell into a fitful doze as this wave ebbed. I knew it wouldn’t be long before there was another, so I let him rest.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, we were fucking again.
It was constant through the night until, at some point in the next day, Kade slipped into a deeper sleep.
I’d napped with him before, so I took this time to order more snacks and wash us again.
I changed the bedding around him, trying to disturb him as little as possible.
My wolf guiding me to prepare for another day with my mate in heat.
A beta delivered the snacks and another contraceptive, watching as I downed it.
He then performed a welfare check on Kade and seemed pleased with what he saw as he gave me a smile.
My wolf was on edge while he was in the room with our sleeping mate and I was glad that the beta didn’t try to touch either of us and kept a careful distance.
“Thank you, Alpha,” the beta whispered as he exited the room. I gave him a nod and sighed in relief that all was well.
When Kade woke and was still coherent, I urged him to message his friend, Dakota, after seeing several messages light up on his phone when I’d plugged it in. While he texted back and forth, I dealt with calls from my pack and made sure everything was okay with my brothers.
“Are you okay?” I asked once Kade set down his phone with a sigh.
“Yeah, Dakota was just worried. You were right that I should get in contact. Everything okay with your, ah, stuff?”
I smiled. “Yeah, my brothers have it in hand.”
“How many do you have? I don’t know many shifters with plural siblings.”
“Just the two. Twins, betas, Axel and Chase. The Luna blessed my mother with the three of us, but I guess Mom was cursed too because she had my dad and never met her fated.”
Kade’s face twisted into a look of sympathy, and I wracked my brain for another topic of conversation.
“So, um, I looked at the file that was entered into the record when you arrived. Well, what there was of it. I know you are a little older than me. Twenty-six, right?” He nodded, looking faintly amused.
“You’ve worked for Mercury the whole time you’ve lived near Sweetwater. Do you enjoy it?”
“As jobs go, yeah, it’s okay. I like the variety of it. No two days are the same, y’know?” I nodded. It was why I loved running the pack. There was always a new challenge.
“Can I ask you a question?” he asked suddenly.
“Sure.”
“Are you sure that we are mates? I mean, there’s something there, but with everything that’s happened to me, I’m not sure what it is. My senses aren’t working right.”
“I’ve never been more sure in my life. You need to eat up, though. My wolf can tell another wave is coming.”
We got little time to dwell on Kade’s revelations as the next wave hit, this one much more intense than the previous ones, lasting hours.
Kade was hardly lucid throughout and I contemplated getting some advice, since the whole thing was pretty scary.
My wolf wouldn’t go for it, certain that we could look after our mate together and get him through this cycle.
He encouraged me to sleep once it slowed to conserve my strength.
This time Kade woke me, my dick hardening in his mouth as he licked and sucked.
We were sticky with the mess from the last time, smelling of sweat and sex, so I led him to the shower and fucked him under the hot spray, sitting on the handy bench there.
Then washed him carefully, still knotted inside him.
We didn’t make it back to the bed for the next one, with me pushing Kade onto all fours on the plush carpet and mounting him almost savagely, the animalistic part of my brain taking over as Kade cried out how much he loved it and needed it.
Kade laughed as I curled up beside him on the floor, our bodies still connected. He pulled a blanket off the bed to cover us both. “I’m gonna nap now,” he whispered sleepily and promptly passed out.
My brain wouldn’t shut off at war with my heart over how rough I’d been.
As soon as my knot went down, I pulled free from Kade and carefully lifted him onto the bed.
He roused briefly with a, “thank you,” and I cleaned us up again.
Gentle strokes of the cloth over his sensitive skin as I checked for bruising.
Grateful there were no marks, I checked my phone and looked at the blog I’d followed for advice. I wanted to be sure this was typical behavior and not something they had conditioned me into with some of what I’d seen growing up.
The blog exonerated me and I blew out a relieved breath, grateful that I was nothing like my father and I ate a little as Kade slept, getting myself mentally ready for what would come next.
My wolf brushed along my mind again to reassure me.
He sent thoughts of love and trust. Of pride as I helped our mate through the last of his heat.
