Chapter 29 #2
“Go to sleep, omega,” the alpha at his side grumbled, pulling him closer with the arm he’d had over Elm’s middle since he’d put them to bed.
The rest of the day had passed almost like a fever dream of sorts, the slip back into normalcy—or, what had become normal for him these past few months—doing the trick and luring Elm into a false sense of security.
They’d spent hours in the study while Levi had worked and Elm had finished the book he’d been reading before the alpha’s rut had torpedoed their routine. Dinner had been another modest meal, with Elm seated at the counter, watching as the alpha prepared it.
Afterward, they’d watched a movie on the couch, but that was when Elm’s mind had started to wonder once more.
All thanks to the plug still inside of him.
Levi had to have been aware too. Had to have realized how horny Elm was when the movie had ended and he’d suggested it was time to call it a night.
This wasn’t punishment.
It was torture.
“I can’t,” Elm complained. “You try falling asleep with a three-inch piece of plastic shoved up your ass.”
“It’s four inches.”
Elm rolled his head on the pillow and glared at the alpha.
“My cock is over eight.” Levi patted his stomach. “You can manage.”
“I cannot.” With a huff, he sat up, pulling away and off of the bed before the alpha could catch him and force him back down.
He moved out of reach and crossed his arms. “I just came out of a heat, a claiming, and a life-threatening gunshot to the gut. I need rest, but I can’t get it with this fake tail keeping me open. ”
Levi moved into a seated position. “You’re threatening me with your health?”
“You’re the one putting my wellbeing at risk,” he corrected. “Just let me remove it to sleep. It’s not like you can look at it while you’re unconscious.”
“You want it out that badly?”
“Yes!”
The alpha got off on the other side of the bed. He’d forgone a shirt and was only in pajama bottoms, and he adjusted the band around his hips as he padded over to the couch and got comfortable.
“What are you doing?” Elm frowned, not following.
“You want me to take the toy out?” Levi crossed his legs and rested his arms over the back of the couch. “Earn it.”
“How?”
He chucked his chin at the bed. “Present.”
“No way.”
“You’re my omega now,” he reminded. “You’ll learn to present for me eventually. Might as well start tonight.”
Elm weighed his options, not liking them one bit, and then climbed back onto the bed.
“It’s cute when your ears turn that shade of pink,” the alpha teased as Elm got into position.
He kept his back to Levi, adjusted his stance so he was kneeling with his thighs far apart, and then bent forward. The move had him on all fours, giving the alpha the perfect view of his ass and his swollen dick dangling between his legs.
“Pity you don’t like it,” Levi spoke after a moment of quiet appreciation. “The tail suits you.”
“What now, alpha?” Elm did not want to hear about how much the older man liked making him dress like a bunny, even if it was only that one part.
He’d left the ears in the kitchen and hadn’t made Elm put them back on.
“You’re going to touch yourself for my pleasure,” Levi announced. “Make it good for me, treasure, and I’ll acquiescence to your request.”
“That’s it?” there must have been a thread of disappointment in his tone, because the alpha clicked his tongue.
“You don’t get to run from my knot then demand it when you please.
My cock isn’t an amusement park attraction you can ride whenever you feel like it.
Let me be abundantly clear, Elm Erskine, this is not surface level attraction.
What’s between us transcends the little hookups you experienced with others in the past.”
“Can you not keep saying my full name like that?” Elm heaved a sigh. “Fine. I get it, all right? If it helps any, your dick is way bigger than Pike’s.”
“Reminding me that you’re familiar with his manhood does not, in fact, help.”
Shit.
“Enough stalling, omega. Touch yourself.”
Elm wanted the plug out, but still hesitated.
“Are you really embarrassed? I’ve already seen all of you,” Levi pointed out.
“I know, I’ve just…I’ve never done this in front of anyone before.”
“Oh?” He sounded pleased about that.
So Elm shamelessly leaned into it.
“Getting off with you during my heat was the closest I’ve ever come,” he said. “Past hookups were just quick lays.”
“Things with me are different.”
“Yeah.” Elm wouldn’t deny it. And not just to placate the alpha either. He wouldn’t deny it because it was true. Things with Levi had never been normal or average. Sex with the alpha was all consuming, burning brightly enough to blind. No one had ever made him feel the way the Leviathan did.
No one had ever even come close.
“Should I talk you through it, treasure?” Levi resituated on the couch, the sound of the leather cluing Elm in.
He dropped his forehead to the mattress and peered between his parted thighs, but he could only see the alpha from the waist down.
“Play with yourself. Rub your nipples against the blankets and shake that cute ass of yours,” Levi instructed.
Something about the alpha being so crude with his words had Elm moaning even before he did what he was told. He turned his head to flatten his cheek against the mattress and lowered his upper body more, until his chest met silk.
Elm moved over it, but there wasn’t nearly enough friction, and he made a sound of frustration that the alpha picked up on and chuckled at.
“Grope your balls,” Levi suggested. “There you go. So obedient when you want to be.”
He clenched around the toy as he rolled his sack in his hand, then moved to grasp his dick at the root, giving it a squeeze before he stroked it to the tip.
“You liked the Runner’s attention, was that it?” Levi said. “I’m the Dominus. No one’s ever caught my eye. You’re special. You have all of my attention now. I’ll never look away.”
