CHAPTER TEN #3
He kissed Will, a soft close-lipped press, before applying the scarf. “Good boy,” he said, hoping Will experienced the thrill of praise as much as he did giving it. “Can you see through the scarf?”
“No, my eyes are closed.”
Gripping together the two thin-bristled art brushes, Ray dabbed at the tip of Will’s nose.
“I’m not sure how much you’ve researched, but BDSM isn’t all whips and chains and paddles,” he said.
“For some couples, light skin play encompasses the entirety of their dynamic. That’s what I want to show you tonight, and I’m going to work over your body with different sensations. ”
Ray dragged the brush bristles across Will’s jaw and traced his Cupid’s bow. He gave Will permission to sneeze, seeing the Omega’s nose twitch. When nothing happened, he continued his exploration.
Around his gland, over his collarbone and each nipple, between his pecs on down to his navel, Ray pretend-painted swirls and stripes and took note of Will’s body movement and erupting gooseflesh.
Will answered “green” whenever Ray asked for his status, and Ray marveled at the Omega’s ability to hold still.
He liked Will’s commitment to subbing for him, but this scene was also about Will’s pleasure.
Ray saw the evidence in Will’s erection.
“I wish I had edible paints with me,” he said while running the bristles over the head of Will’s reddening cock. “I’d write our names on your skin and lick them off as I went along…” He paused as Will cleared his throat. “Yes, Omega?”
Will’s voice came out husky, affecting Ray. “I have chocolate syrup in the fridge.”
“I remember.” He’d been put off on seeing it at first, but now regretted leaving it there. “I’d have to get up from bed to fetch it,” Ray said. “Maybe next time.”
Damn. He spoke the last words without thinking, but Will’s short, throaty laugh gave him some hope.
Finished with the brushes, Ray switched to the fork. “For this next part, I use a Wartenberg wheel. You know what that is?”
The scarf slipped a bit as Will nodded, exposing his eyebrows. Ray set it back in place, giving Will’s hair a soft pat. “Yes, Alpha.”
“Tonight we’ll have to improvise, but I think you’ll enjoy it just as much.
” Ray touched the fork tines to the base of Will’s throat and asked for status.
At Will’s “green,” he began a slow drag down Will’s breastbone and turned toward one nipple.
Will oohed at the sensation but gave no indication that Ray should stop.
“This isn’t even half of what I’d do to you on a regular play night,” he said. “If you were my submissive mate, I’d bind your wrists over your head. Would you like that? You don’t have to answer right now, but think about it.
“I wouldn’t bind your ankles, though, because I’d position myself between your legs and perform all kinds of sensation play,” he continued.
At the edge of Will’s areola, he lifted one tine and plucked the sensitive skin close to the nipple.
“I have a set of anal plugs of different sizes, like nesting dolls when you line them up. The next one is larger and wider than the last. I’d love to prop you up your knees and play with your hole, and insert them one at a time to see how much you can take. ”
Will sighed, and thrust his hips. “Green. Yes.”
“A size Omega, are you?” Ray leaned down so his lips brushed over Will’s ear. “Good thing I have a huge Alpha cock, it’s big without the knot. I’d love to see you take every inch of me, riding me reverse so I can watch your beautiful ass bounce on my…”
“Red!”
Like a rush of cold water hitting his face, the word stopped Ray in his tracks.
He set the fork aside and edged higher onto the bed, positioning himself to take Will into his arms. “You can relax now,” he said.
End of scene, no arguments, and Ray was ready to provide the aftercare Will needed.
“I’m going to lift you onto my lap now and remove the scarf. It’s just me, you’re okay.”
When Ray slid his arm across Will’s upper back, he gasped at the heat radiating from the Omega’s bare flesh. Concerned, he wiped away the scarf and took with it a line of perspiration on Will’s forehead.
“Omega, are you okay?” Ray wanted to get the sports drink but that meant letting go of Will. He cupped Will’s cheek, his worry rising. “You look feverish all of a sudden.”
Will swallowed hard, exhaling through his mouth. “My heat’s starting, Ray.” His face pinched with his pain, and when he drew up his knees to curl into Ray’s body he revealed a small puddle of slick dampening the sheets.
“Oh, fuck.” Ray laid a hand on Will’s hip. Searing to the touch. “I remember you said it was coming. I didn’t think…”
“Neither did I,” Will cut in. His breathing labored, he dug his head into the crook of Ray’s neck. “The suppressants I took before going to the club were just to dilute my scent. They weren’t blockers meant to delay my heat. Even so, I thought I had another week left.”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. These things happen.” A vigilant Omega tracking his cycles couldn’t predict every change in their body. The stress of Velvet Sands, the excitement of their scene, or even Will’s snack binge might have sparked his heat.
Ray looked around Will’s room. That lone bottle of fruit punch energy drink wouldn’t cut it for the first night. “Do you have enough provisions to get through?” he asked. “I’ll help you with your nest, just tell me where everything is.”
Will leaned away from him and pointed to his bedroom closet.
Within minutes they had Will surrounded by his favorite blankets and pillows and seated under a thick mattress pad used to absorb his slick.
The bed sheets were soaked, but Will’s well-being mattered more.
The Omega clutched his abdomen and cried out, panging Ray’s heart.
With food low in the house, Ray offered to have groceries delivered.
That left one last important item with which to ride out the heat.
“Where do you keep your toys, Will?” Ray himself used a vibrating silicone sleeve designed to hold his knot during his lonely ruts.
He was aware of the knot-simulating dildos Omegas used and couldn’t imagine Will enduring a heat without some relief.
Grasping a pillow, Will gestured in a manner that Ray interpreted as under the bed. As Ray brought up a large shoebox, Will curled his hand around his wrist.
“Ray, please.” Will gazed at him with fierce longing. “Be with me.”
