Important Research #2
Fuck, yes. Alexei had been right to do his research. Especially as Jay’s eyes brightened and his cheeks flushed a darker pink. He grinned so widely it made Alexei’s chest ache. His mate did so love it when someone met him where he was at, joining him in play.
Jay seemed to gather himself, forming his features into a suitably serious expression. “Oh yes. My nest. Wait right here, alpha.”
And then he was off. Alexei could hear him rummaging in the living room, presumably gathering blankets and pillows—it wasn’t like their home was short of cozy materials.
Alexei figured Jay would bring them to the bed, but Jay dropped them on the floor, instead, and began arranging them there, his pert bottom flashing temptingly at Alexei as he bent over his work.
Alexei palmed his hard cock as he watched him. Fuck, he was so gorgeous. Especially like this, eager and full of excitement, trusting in Alexei to treat him well.
When the soft materials he’d gathered were arranged into a sort of bed on the floor, Jay made his way back over to Alexei. He held out a hand. “Your shirt, please.”
Alexei tugged his shirt off. Jay held it to his chest, then eyed him with consideration, gaze dropping to Alexei’s sweats, lingering at the damp spot where Alexei’s arousal was making itself known.
“Your pants too.” He leaned in close, whispering in Alexei’s ear. “That’s where your scent’s strongest.”
Fuck. This little tease. Alexei stripped down hurriedly until he was as nude as his mate, handing over his clothes.
Jay grabbed them with a grin, then took them to his nest and added them to it. He looked up and caught Alexei’s eye again. “So my nest smells like my alpha.”
Jesus. Alexei stood. That was enough. He needed his hands on his mate.
On his omega.
He stalked over and knelt next to the cozy pile Jay had made. “What a perfect nest you’ve got there, baby,” he crooned.
Jay gave him a coy little smile. “You think so?”
“Mm. Soft and sweet, just right for an omega in heat.”
Jay’s eyes grew heavy-lidded, and he held a hand over his lower belly. “It aches,” he whispered.
Alexei let out a harsh breath. “Does it?”
Jay nodded eagerly.
“Show me.”
Jay, never shy about his body—and God, why should he be?—promptly scrambled onto his hands and knees, ass up. Presenting, Alexei had read. Presenting so Alexei could breed him.
Alexei had to grip the base of his cock hard at the thought.
Why was this turning him on so much? It wasn’t his first, or third, or even thousandth time, having Jay on his hands and knees in front of him.
But the thought of Jay needing him—really needing him—so desperately that he would be in pain without him, driven so mindless with heat-induced lust he’d be begging?
It tickled just right at Alexei’s own need—to be anything and everything to his mate. To give him exactly what he craved, every minute of every day, for the rest of eternity.
He shifted until he was kneeling behind Jay in the nest. “You need your alpha to make it better, baby?” He palmed Jay’s ass, sliding his fingers down that cleft. And sure enough, Jay had been busy in that bathroom. “You’re wet, kitten.”
Jay peered over his shoulder, looking up at Alexei through dark lashes. “It’s slick.”
Alexei slid his fingers back, rubbing them together, unable to keep a few stray drops from landing on the nest. Jay had clearly gone overboard on the lube in order to imitate an omega’s natural reaction to heat. “Dripping for your alpha, are you? What a needy little thing you are.”
Jay wiggled in Alexei’s hold, wordlessly asking for Alexei’s fingers to return. “Can’t help it.”
“Because you’re in heat?” Alexei asked.
“Yes. I need you,” Jay whined. “I’m empty, and it hurts.”
He was either an amazing actor or he’d gotten himself so worked up the desperation was real. Alexei was betting on the latter. His poor, horny little vampire.
“Where does it hurt, baby?” Alexei slid a finger back into that dripping cleft and straight into Jay’s hole. It went in easy. His mate had prepped so very thoroughly. “Here?”
Jay nodded desperately, his head hanging between his shoulders. “Need to be filled.”
Alexei pushed in another finger. “Like this?”
Jay shook his head now. The back of his neck was bright red. “Not enough. I need—I need an alpha’s knot.”
“Mm.” Alexei scissored the fingers inside his mate, palming a plump cheek with his other hand. “You need to be fucked, don’t you, baby? Need to be bred.”
“Yes,” Jay pleaded. “Need you to put your pups in me.”
Jesus. Alexei withdrew his fingers with a curse, draping himself over Jay’s body, guiding his cock to that dripping hole. Jay’s inner muscles contracted around him as he bottomed out. Like he really did need it. Like his body craved what only Alexei could give him.
Alexei bit at Jay’s pink ear, withdrawing his cock excruciatingly slow. “Gonna fuck you full of my cum, baby. Is that what you need?”
“Yes, alpha.” Jay wiggled his hips back, trying to chase Alexei.
Alexei held him in place with one hand on his lower back. “You going to be my good, obedient omega?”
Jay stilled, and then his muscles relaxed. Like he was giving in. Giving in to his alpha. “Yes, Alexei.”
So fucking perfect. Alexei rewarded him, thrusting back in with one smooth glide. “That’s good, baby. Let your alpha take care of you. Let me give you exactly what you need.”
He set a brutal pace. There were times when Jay wanted him to be sweet, to take his time, to worship his body with soft touches and gentle kisses.
Now was definitely not one of those times.
And for all Jay had promised to be obedient—to be docile—he was soon whining and writhing like he really was in heat, pushing his ass back against Alexei’s every thrust, crying at him to go deeper, harder.
Alexei had to look up and away, or this playtime of theirs wouldn’t last very long. “So desperate, baby,” he crooned, as if he wasn’t exactly the same.
“Can’t help it,” Jay whined. “I need it. I need you.”
Alexei pulled him up, sitting back on his knees until he had Jay seated on his lap, his body going limp as Alexei entered him at this new angle, punching brutally into that little bundle of nerves.
“Gonna lock you on my knot,” Alexei murmured into his ear.
“Make sure it takes. Make sure your belly swells with my pups.”
“Oh God,” Jay whined. “Yes, please. Yes, yes, yes.”
Alexei grabbed Jay’s cock, stroking in time with his thrusts. It probably wasn’t necessary—he was almost certain his mate could come untouched, worked up as he was. But Alexei couldn’t resist. He wanted his hands all over him.
But there was something missing, wasn’t there? His omega didn’t just need to be bred…he needed to be claimed.
Alexei let his vampire surface, sinking his teeth into Jay’s neck without warning.
Jay keened, his cock pulsing its release all over Alexei’s hand.
Alexei drank deep, gulping down that perfect, sweet ambrosia that was his mate’s blood.
He felt feral, mindless and brutal as his hips punched up again and again, until the pulsing contractions of Jay’s channel were too much for him to bear, and he came with a harsh cry, emptying everything he had into his mate.
He held Jay in place, panting like he’d run a marathon, his body unable to remember it didn’t technically need to breathe.
After a long moment, he started to lift Jay off him, but Jay’s small hand shot out, grabbing onto his hip. “No!” he cried weakly. “You can’t. Your—your knot.”
Of course. Their play hadn’t ended just because they’d orgasmed. Jay was nothing if not thorough in his fantasies.
“Right. I’m sorry, baby. I could’ve really hurt you there.” Alexei grabbed hold of him and rolled them onto their sides in Jay’s nest, his cock never leaving Jay’s perfect, warm body. “It’s gonna take a while for my knot to deflate, isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Jay peered over his shoulder at him, his expression almost stern, even though the effect was ruined a little by how absolutely fucked-out he looked. “A long while.”
Jay
Jay hummed happily, nestling back against Alexei’s firm body. There was never a time he felt more cherished or safe than when his mate was wrapped around him.
And goodness, he had the best mate in the whole wide world, didn’t he?
He should have known Alexei would be happy to play with him exactly as he wanted. He wasn’t sure why he’d been so nervous to broach the subject exactly—maybe because of just how much the whole concept had turned him on.
He’d found the book by accident, looking for more queer romances to read for a change, and then he hadn’t been able to stop reading. When the little omega in his story had gotten on all fours, ass up, begging his alpha to take him, Jay had thought he might come in his underwear.
Because that was how he felt sometimes with Alexei, wasn’t it? So desperate it hurt.
How convenient it would have been to blame it on a heat.
But Jay didn’t have heats, did he? He was just horny all the time. Horny for Alexei.
Luckily, his big, strong mate (his alpha) was equally horny for him.
He wiggled, pleased when Alexei groaned at the movement, tightening his hold on Jay’s hips. His softened cock was still inside Jay, still connecting them. Jay could stay like this forever, probably.
He grabbed one of Alexei’s arms, moving it until it was draped over his chest, sighing happily when Alexei tightened his hold automatically. “How much longer does our dough need to prove?” he asked.
Alexei made a distracted noise, nuzzling his nose in Jay’s hair. “I don’t know, kitten. Another half hour, maybe?”
“Okay. Your knot can deflate then.”
Alexei’s chest rumbled with a chuckle. “All right, kotyonok. Whatever you say.”
