Midnights Ch. 02

When they arrived back at the house, it was all Ari could do to just try and keep his hormones in check.

When Rune said he was going to shower quickly, he almost thanks the fucking gods for the reprieve... because the need rolling off of him was so stifling Ari was finding it hard to do anything but try to quell it with his own pheromones. Which... was not helpful.

It was his room, but it was of Rune's clothes that were layered on top of each other on his bed. No point in hiding them now. Instead, he just made them more comfortable, organizing them in the backward way that his brain told him was absolutely right.

That's why it was so cozy when he laid at the center of them, brain foggy as he nuzzled down into the comforting smells of the man that drove him batshit crazy.

He slipped off his own shirt, adding it to the nest, before snuggling further down into the piles with breathless haze.

Safe. Safe and warm.

Not like how outside had been when he was running... not like that at all. That was cold and scary, every moment of it, until Rune had showed up.

God, he hated him. Not really... not actually... but Ari didn't want to be perceived as weak. He wasn't a damsel. Hadn't wanted to be married off either, not because of who it was but because of the tailing perception that he wasn't good enough on his own without an alpha. That he couldn't be a good omega without one there to hold his hand.

Fucking bullshit was what it was.

He let the scent of Rune's clothes wash over him, enough to ease the thoughts of discontent for the time being. Enough to also make him hard all over again, erection kicking the more he let the smells surround him.

Ari tipped over onto his back, kicking off his pants before allowing his hands to wander. His eyes slipped closed, and he played down to his thighs, hand curling around the heat that he found... and almost immediately his thoughts turned to Rune.

How it had felt to have his hand around him. His hand pumping his swollen cock.

Ari whined softly, hips shifting.

He imagined what it might feel like to have the man's mouth on him, those rough kisses and nicks trailing down his body, lower and lower.

Ari didn't stop fisting his cock, not even when he felt the weight on the bed shift, when he left legs straddle his own, "Rune..." he eyes flickered open, heat driving into his core when he saw him there, still wet from his shower.

"Doing such a good job, baby, keep going..." Rune's hand was pumping his own leaking cock as he watched, gaze hot and devouring, "that's it. Spread your legs a little more. Let me see you."

He did.

And he cooed in delirious pleasure when Rune took the spot between them, watching as the other got off so close to where Ari wanted him to be. His stomach tightened, bucking up into his hand, aching for more. His other hand trailed down, tracing around his slick opening.

The sound that left Rune's lips was wicked, "Have you done that before, baby?" He reached down, taking Ari's hand, helping him to slick up his fingers.

Ari shifted, cheeks flushing beneath their already red hues, "N-no." He let Rune lead his hand, felt the way his fingers closed against his own, causing the pads of his fingers to brush against his hole.

He whined, shifting under the touch that was very much his... yet controlled entirely by the man above him.

"That's it..." Rune purred, drinking in the sight, eyes blown with pleasure, "work one finger inside, baby... nice and gentle. Just like that..." he watched as one of those tentative fingers slowly disappeared, causing his cock to kick violently, "My good boy, look how greedy that pretty hole is..."

He whined, and the sound turned into a loud moan when Rune's hand forced his finger deeper, touching against something that made him buck sharply. He looked to the other, panting, "Rune... A-alpha..."

Rune flexed his free hand along Ari's inner thigh, before jerking the other one forward again, rewarded with the coos of his lovely mate. "That's right, Ari, I'm your alpha. You're mine."

He allowed Ari to work another finger into his body, watching as the stretch made him whimper and squirm, "Such a desperate little thing, aren't you? Just wanting to be full."

So close... Ari was so fucking close...

And then Rune captured the hand that was stroking his cock, pinning it off to the side.

"Alpha, n-no..."

"Greedy boy..." Rune cooed, eyes flickering to his face and then back down to the fingers that were still thrusting, "Thinking you get to cum again before I do." He stroked his cock, already so close to that tight little hole that was already so pretty and wet, "No, if you're going to cum... it's going to be while you're fucking yourself on my cock."

Ari clenched around his fingers at that, which pried another heady moan out from his lips. His very own siren song, causing Rune to shift closer until he was laying caged against the bed. "Rune, please..." he shifted, bucking up against him, causing their erections to grind together.

Rune placed his hand against Ari's throat, gripping It tightly, "Please what, baby?"

Ari keened, heart pounding, "T-touch me." He bit his lip, "Fuck me..."

He removed his fingers from inside himself, slick and wet, before wrapping them around Rune's thick cock. The fingers around his neck tightened, but he didn't stop, stoking the alpha with a palm wet from his own slick.

So fucking obscene, he could barely stand it... yet nothing in him stopped or even contemplated the thought.

"Fuck" Rune growled, grinding into Ari's hand shamelessly, "Naughty omega... so fucking needy..." He grinded the head of his cock against the slick entrance of his mate, "Beg, pretty boy. Beg for this cock."

Ari whined, flexing upwards into the touch, "Please, Rune... please..." He whimpered when his hand was removed from the other, desperate fingers instantly digging into his side, "I need it... need you... please..."

Rune growled lowly, dipping his head, teeth nicking the skin along that perfect collar bone. They ached to sink in completely -- ached to bite, to leave his mark all over him so there was no mistake who Ari belonged to.

The only reason he refrained was because of the feel of that tight, wet heat surrounding him as he started pushing inside his mate.

Ari cried out, the pressure, the fullness, intense. He gripped down hard, fingers bruising into skin as he was split open, tears stinging his eyes.

"It's okay, baby," Rune murmured, pressing gentle kisses from his collar up along his neck and to his trembling lips. "I've got you; I promise." His fingers stroked along his hip gently as he stayed where he was, aching for more yet perfectly still to allow Ari the time he needed to adjust. "Such a good boy, Ari... so good for me, taking it all. So beautiful."

The smaller nuzzled up into his shoulder, a whine leaving his lips, "H-hurts..."

Rune held him close against him, pressing kiss after kiss into damp hair, "I know, baby... not for much longer, I promise you that. Your body... isn't used to it yet."

So sweet and innocent and lovely... just for him. Only ever for him. He shifted, just slightly, and Ari mewed under him in response, unconsciously tightening that slick heat.

Ari didn't understand it. Didn't understand how he could hurt like this but the idea of having Rune leave hurt a thousand times more. And then when the other moved, he felt his body react in turn, desperately trying to keep him in.

"Relax" Rune murmured against his hair, "I'm not going anywhere... I'm all yours, baby."

Ari sucked a deep purple mark onto Rune's shoulder in response, feeling the way the purr of content reverberated deep in the other man's chest. He shifted his hips upwards, just a little, shivering when something delirious pulsed through his entire body and made him whine.

"Fuck, baby, your hole is divine" came the rumble of Rune's voice from above him. He pushed Ari so his back was flat against the bed, looking deep into those clouded gold eyes, "So tight around my cock, it barely fits."

"A-alpha" Ari moaned softly, looking up at him as his tongue swept quickly along his lips, squeezing purposefully around his cock. His heels rocked along the curve of his lower back, creating the little shifts that were starting to feel... so good.

Rune smirked, "That's it, baby..." he ground his hips a little harder, watching as Ari bucked up in turn, drawing more of those precious sounds from his lips, "That feels better now, doesn't it?" That pretty hole was completely soaked, gripping him so greedily every time he moved, "So fucking wet for me..."

It was a heady delirium that seemed to curl in his belly and touch everything in its path.

Ari keened, cock stiff between them, aching for more. He blushed at the feeling. Blushed in response to how his body wanted, how it needed, so openly for Rune. His teeth notched into his bottom lip, only to let go a moment later when a thumb brushed over it.

"None of that..." Rune purred, leaning down, "I want every noise, baby... I want to hear you."

Ari squirmed frantically under the other when Rune snapped his hips back and then forward in a hard thrust, a loud moaning ripping from his lips as his nerve endings ignited. "Fuck!" He clenched down on his cock hard, the feral growl of the one above him reverberating through his skin. "T-too much, alpha, p-please..."

Rune chuckled against his skin, "Not too much, baby... this body was made for me." He ground his hips into Ari, prying more of those sweet little whimpers from his mouth,

"Look at that pretty hole, taking me all in. Stretched so full, hm?" He let himself slide almost all the way out, barely keeping his cock inside, before pushing back in roughly.

The way Ari keened made him want to do it a hundred times over... and he would, more than that, by the time this night was through. "You look so perfect opened up on my cock, Ari..."

It felt so intense, such a hot and jarring sensation, causing Ari to leak with each thrust.

He looked up at Rune desperately, fingers knotting into whatever skin they could find.

He didn't care if he broke skin, he needed it. Needed to ground himself into Rune every time that thick cock speared him again and again, making him feel like he would fly into the rafters if he didn't.

Rune's smell was everywhere, inebriating, and his own seeped out to meet it, so desperate and needy. He arched up, pulling him down harder with his legs, mewling each time that tender spot inside of him was brutalized.

"Wrap your hand around your cock, baby... let me see you touch yourself while I fuck you."

Ari whined, "N-no, a-alpha, please... c-can't. I'll... I'll..." He blushed immediately, looking up at him.

"You'll what, baby?" Rune cooed, grinding purposefully against his prostate and watching him squirm as a result, "Tell me." He thrust hard when the response took too long, pulling a cry from those swollen lips, "Tell me why you can't fuck your cock into your hand, hm?"

Ari would have bristled had the pheromones not been so completely intoxicating, "I-I'll cum..." He was so hard, so swollen, wanting it more than anything... that sweet release. But... "Y-you... you told me not too..."

Rune slipped his fingers into Ari's damp hair, pulling his head back a bit, exposing the column of his neck, "My good boy, you were listening."

He leaned in, hips pumping slowly, more shallowly now, giving the other a moment to breathe. A reward. "But I'm going to fill you up soon, Ari. I'm going to fuck my cum into you..." he bit down on his shoulder, tasting iron, feeling the way it cause the other to pulse up uncontrollably towards him, "and I want to feel that pretty hole clenching as I do it. I want that greedy hole to take every bit I give you."

Ari felt the coil in his stomach starting to snap, threads breaking with each word gutturally spoken into his skin. He felt himself spill between them, whining as it happened, feeling the pressure build too high.

He was going to cum like this. Fuck, he was going to cum... without even being touched. "R-Rune, I-I'm gonna..."

Something in Rune shattered at that. Seeing that desperate look in Ari's eyes, the pleasure, as he tried to hold back for him. "Are you going to cum just from me filling you up, Ari?"

He lifted himself, gripping the smaller's hips and bracing himself, before driving his hips forward. Again, and again, and again, ruthless as he watched his mate fall apart under him, "Cum on my cock, baby. Cum on my cock and I'll fill you up so fucking good."

"F-fuck, alpha!" His whole body ignited, thrashing desperately as he started to cum harder than he ever had. Ropes of cum spilled between them as Rune continued to fuck into his contacting hole, wringing every last drop out of him.

And Rune made sure that he ground into him hard, and fast, and mercilessly as he came to his own edge, making good on his promise.

Ari's body was so wet, so fucking tight, sucking him in and milking every drop of cum out of him. The orgasm was long, that twitching hole pulling more and more out of him than he ever would have thought possible, "Take every drop, baby, that's it..."

The marks Ari's fingers left against Rune's skin were angry red, unmistakable, as he clutched onto him hard. To anchor him inside and keep him close, as if the other might decide to leave when he did... once he finished.

He didn't, though.

It was the absolute reverse, continuing that slow aching grind into his still sensitive body, pulling a sweet whine from Ari's lips.

"Mm, you're still so hard Ari..." Rune purred into his skin, a low and guttural sound that set the younger's skin on fire. Made him squirm against his body, but Rune held his hips and kept him right where he was -- firmly on his cock, "Such a needy boy I have."

Ari's hands fled down, on top of Rune's, but the other wouldn't have it. His wrists were quickly captured pressed above his head, the shift causing his alpha to brush right up against that sensitive spot that had already been left battered and bruised, "R-Rune, please... too... too s-sensitive, please..."

Rune's response was grind his hips down, slowly, pulling another desperate sound from his mate, "I think you need another round of my cum before I let you go, baby" his lips flickered across his pulse, sucking a dark mark into the skin as he felt his mate rock up against him, "You can take it, I know you can. This little hole was made for it."

Ari felt fingers clutch down into his hip, pinning him in place, pleasure curling around the pain every time the other's hips tilted forward. His scent surrounded him, wrapping around his brain, and he craved more of it.

More of the touch, more of the noises, more of him in every capacity despite being so sensitive he could cry.

"That's it, that's my good boy" Rune cooed, fingers lifting and sliding around his mate's cock, the result being an almost violent kick up against his hand. The sound wrapped around him, so pretty and desperate... the perfect siren song that caused him to snap his hips harder.

He smirked at the feel of Ari's fingers tightening against his own, watching the way the younger's muscles tensed and pulled with each movement of his hips, "So desperate for your alpha's cock. Isn't that right, baby?"

Ari jolted upwards, keening sound pressing from his lips.

Rune leaned down, "Answer me."

The younger's thighs came up, gripping Rune tightly as another sound was pulled from his mouth. Teeth found his own lip, biting harshly, until another pair smoothed over them and caused them to release.

Lips parted instantly, "R-Rune" he gasped out, fucking up into the hand that stroked so languidly at his cock... or trying too. It was hard to do with the weight of his palm still pushing against his hip.

"Good boys answer questions when they're asked, Ari... are you my good boy?" teeth bared against skin that was already bruising from earlier, "Or are you going to be a bad little slut?"

He felt the squirming it brought, hot and urgent under his weight, the whine of protest that peeled from the other's lips.

"F-fuck you," Ari hissed through his teeth, head hitting the pillows behind him, "I-I'm not-" the protest died on his lips with a hard thrust coupled with the slow and steady pumping of Rune's hand.

The fog from his heat was so unbearably thick, smothering him, and he hated how urgently he wanted to do as he was told. To yield just so he could get what he wanted... and what Rune wanted.

"Then say it, baby."

The flush that filled his face was instant, torn between pleasure and trying to claw back from memory what Rune wanted him to say.

Eyes fluttered closed, another whine pulled from his lips as Rune ground into him with slow, purposeful movements. "P-please... please, Rune..." The words spilled from his lips as he tried to tilt his hips forward, up, anything to pull him closer, "N-need my alpha, please."

Ari knew how he sounded right now. He could hear, it echoed, and the rational part of him would hate that he was so pliantly begging. But the biological need was dampening that voice, coiling around every bit of him till it was all he could feel.

When his heat was over, he'd be ashamed... but right now, there was no part of him that felt it.

Rune pulled away long enough to flip Ari onto his stomach, pulling his thighs back towards him before sliding back inside and peeling another loud whine from his mate's lips. Eyes roamed shamelessly, along the curve of Ari's back, the way he was perched face down and ass up, spread around him so perfectly. "Fuck, baby..."

Ari's fingers curled against fabric, wringing into them tightly as Rune set a deep, hard pace that saw him hurdling towards the stratosphere, "A-alpha, so deep, p-please."

He was still impossibly sensitive, dancing on the edge of pain and pleasure, but he didn't want it to stop. It would have been so much more tortuous for him to stop, to leave him like this, legs shaking and empty.

"That's right, baby," Rune purred, fingers threading through Ari's hair. He tugged, pulling the man up till he was pressed firmly against his chest, arm wrapping around his waist snuggly, "Fuck you're so goddamn tight, squeezing around me so good." He pressed his mouth to Ari's ear, "Like you can't wait for me to fill you up again."

As if controlled by the words, Ari's entire body tightened around him. His fingers frantically gripped into any available flesh they could, pressing his ass back against the other as he fucked into him ruthlessly.

His eyes slammed shut when Rune's free hand wrapped around his leaking cock, ripping a needy moan from his lips that echoed against the walls of his bedroom.

"Little slut, so fucking pretty all split open on my cock," Rune growled against his skin, snapping his hips harder, chasing his own edge, "Even prettier with all my cum stuffed inside you."

"R-rune," he felt the tears making their way down his cheeks.

It wasn't that he didn't like it, he did, but it was just so much. So much stimulation coming at him from every direction, with the touches becoming harder and rougher, and the words ringing in his ears.

Ari couldn't.

It felt like his alpha was going to break him and that'd he couldn't catch his breath. He was hurdling too fast towards the edge, "A-alpha, please... I c-can't... p-please..."

Ari couldn't even formulate the words he was so desperate to say, chest heaving, gripping onto him so tightly there would be little crescents where nails broke the skin.

The rough thrusts ground to a slow halt, a shattered breath leaving the alpha's lips. His grip loosened just a little, pressing a kiss to the side of his mate's neck just below his thundering pulse, "Ari..." his voice thick was lust but there was something else now. Concern. Protectiveness, "Shhh, it's okay baby."

Ari leaned back against Rune's chest, head falling back against his shoulder, just trying to catch his breath. Trying to keep still, not to roll his hips back like the desperate part of him wanted too. H

e needed this. He needed... needed this moment of things just being less intense on all fronts.

"Please... don't.... be mad," Ari whispered, the feelings welling up for an entirely different reason now, "I-I'm sorry, alpha... I... I..."

He was bad. He was a bad omega.

It was the thought that immediately crawled into every crevasse of him, making him tremble against the other's frame.

"Ari," Rune spoke firmly, kissing his shoulder reassuringly, "Stop. You have nothing to be sorry for, baby. You're perfect. I will always stop when you want me too, I promise." His hand slipped down to where slender fingers were still digging into him so insistently, "I promise, baby. Do you want me to pull out?"

Ari shook his head, "No... I j-just need a minute."

A soft kiss was pressed just below his ear, "Tell me what happened, baby."

"I-I don't know. It just felt like... t-too much," he whispered shakily, "So sensitive... a-and then... when you were... um... talking."

Rune nuzzled into him soothingly, blanketing him with hormones that help ease the tension out of Ari's back and shoulders. Hopefully out of his head too, where he could feel the guilt still lurking like the unwanted guest it was, "My good boy. Did you not like the dirty talk?" Not an ounce of judgement in his voice as he scented along his collar, soothing.

Ari swallowed shakily, leaning back into the touch subconsciously.

His skin felt like it was on fire. Like he was burning from the inside out, smoldering, and somehow Rune was only making the flames burn higher. And at the same time... he was the only one that could tame the flames.

He let out a whine, squirming, "Alpha..."

"I've got you..." Rune slotted his lips along his collar, keeping him close. Hold firm but gently. Grounding. No demand, no expectation, even with his cock still buried inside. "Tell me what's happening, baby... tell me what you're feeling right now."

Another whine was pulled from his throat. "I-I can't... I can't think, I'm t-too hot, alpha, it h-hurts..."

Gentle fingers stroked along Ari's sides reassuringly, "My sweet boy..." kissing along the back of his neck, soothing pheromones slipping around him, the need to protect and reassure his omega. "I know you're hurting. It's your heat, baby..." he paused for a moment, scenting along his neck, calm and soothing.

Ari shifted back, another broken sound leaving his lips. Heat pooled behind his eyes, tears of frustration at what was happening.

As much as he could prepare for something like this, as much as he had been told, there was no preparing for how overwhelming it all was. His body playing roulette with his feelings, his biology, making everything cry out in a need that could only be tempered by one.

Rune cooed reassuringly, "The first one is always the hardest, baby... your body wants so much, so badly, it has a hard time regulating itself." He kissed down his shoulder, before using his thumb to tilt Ari's chin back towards him. He pressed their lips together gently, "I'm going to look after you, though. You are mine... and I will always look after you." Their lips never left each other's as he spoke into them. Their eyes met then, "Do you trust me?"

Ari nodded shakily, but he did. Rune... was a lot of things. Not all of them good. But Ari knew that he was good to his word... he'd always shown him exactly that in every way. Even through the heavy fog that had settled into every corridor of his brain, he knew that. Felt it.

"Good boy."

Ari keened at that, "Please... Rune... I n-need... I need..."

He didn't know what he needed.

This pressure in his abdomen was growing, and clawing, and it hurt. It hadn't hurt like this earlier. It was so demanding, disorientating.

Rune's fingers slid along his omega's v-line, tracing the lithe frame, before taking his cock in hand and feeling Ari keen against him. Pressing forward into the touch, needy.

In response, he pressed his hips forward, pressing into him, making him full once more. "Sound so pretty when you're this needy, baby" trailing kisses from the shoulder, up the column of his neck, nipping at his ear, "when you need me to knot this pretty hole so badly."

It was like a lightning strike to his body, making Ari jerk in response.

A low rumble left Rune's throat, "You want that? Want to be spread open on my knot, pretty boy?" The corner of his mouth turned up as he felt Ari twitch in his hand. Aching, hard, leaking, feeling the wetness as he thumbed his thumb over the tip, "It'll make you feel better, hm? Take away some of that heat..."

"A-alpha, please..."

It was such a lovely whine. So sweet, and so desperate, and his omega's body acted in kind -- rutting against his fingers. Chasing the friction but also trying to press back against him more. To get him deeper.

"Baby..." Rune purred against Ari's neck, notching his teeth into the delicate flesh at the crook of his shoulder, "I want to breed this little hole so fucking badly. Wanna fill you up so good that you're cum drunk and purring on my cock... just like you should be."

His baby was so warm under his hands, so soft and malleable, tremoring with all the need living like a live wire under his skin. And he could feel the way he was grinding back, chasing the feeling the more Rune put words to it.

"N-need it, need your knot, a-alpha. please-" Ari was babbling now, tears still wet against his lash line as he shifted back against the other, "-please, please, daddy, I need it, p-please-"

The sound that left Rune was guttural, and Ari whined as he felt the other's teeth bare against his mating gland. Sharp canines danced along the fragile skin -- took advantage of the way the omega's head lolled to the side, as if presenting the most delicious of invites.

"My pretty omega... so needy, aren't you? Needing daddy to knot this tight little hole."

Ari shivered, whining, because Rune still wasn't moving. He was just holding him against his chest, letting Ari move back and forth along his cock as best as he could.

But it wasn't enough. Not deep enough, not hard enough. "Please, alpha, hurts... please..."

Rune cooed softly at that, "My poor thing..." starting to pump Ari slowly, feeling the way the other bucked up against his hand only to press back against his cock a moment later. "Is fucking yourself on my cock not enough? Need me to do it for you, baby?"

Ari keened, grinding back against him in response. At least until fingers curled into his hair, pressing him roughly back down onto the mattress.

His fingers splayed out, gripping the material of his nest, face pressed against one of Rune's shirts.

"Presenting for me so well," he hummed, thumbs stroking along the swell of his omega's ass, dipping just a little to flicker across the rim that was stretched so pretty around his cock. Something hot and possessive gripped him as he thought about that hole swallowing up his knot. His pretty omega would take it like such a good boy...

"Daddy, daddy, w-want-"

Adorable and crazy-making to have those words fall so needily from Ari's lips -- too far gone to worry about his pride. Which was good. There was no place for that right now.

"C'mon baby, tell me what you want..." removing himself almost completely before pressing back in hard. Fast. All but ripping a moan from Ari's swollen lips.

He did it again, and again, and again, not even giving him the chance to form a cohesive sentence... and yet still expecting one all the same. "I'd give you anything, hm?"

Ari's brain felt like hot, liquid static. Instinct drowned out everything else, saturating him in pleasure that was only climbing the harder his alpha went.

Everything smelled like him. Everything felt like him. And still, Ari wanted more. Wanted for him to be deeper, locked inside, to claim him. Wanted the kind of euphoria that he knew being that close to Rune would inevitably bring.

He let out a desperate whine when Rune almost pulled out again, only the tip of his cock still seated inside. The thick coating of slick was almost obscene -- as was the way Ari's hole clenched against him, as if trying to keep him inside.

"W-want alpha's pups."

Rune didn't even feel like he had control over how fast he split Ari back open on his cock.

Fingers locked into the omega's hips hard enough that there would be bruises, eyes flashing possessively as he watched the younger squirm under him, "Is that right, baby? My pretty omega wants me to fuck him till it takes?"

Fuck, he would look so pretty. Swollen with his pups.

He could feel the knot forming, the way it was starting to catch on Ari's rim the harder he pressed into him.

"Full, daddy, n-need it, please, please, please-"

Rune growled at that, "Gonna breed my needy boy's tight little hole. Fill you up with my cum till you're round with it; knot you so you know who you belong to."

"Y-you, belong to you, belong t-to my alpha," Ari moaned, body tightening with each thrust, the heat coiling tighter and tighter in his gut. His eyelids fluttered, tilting his head to look back at Rune -- the man who looked so feral, so determined, so greedy; as if he would tear apart the world if it threatened to take this moment away from them.

He tightened on his mate's cock, slick wet against his thighs as he dripped.

"That's right, baby. You're my omega," came the guttural claim, fingers bruising into Ari's hips, "And a good omega cums on their alpha's cock. Squeezes it nice and tight, milks it and keeps every drop."

Ari cried out at that, the pleasure curling in his belly, legs shaking.

"And you're my good omega, aren't you, Ari?" punctuated with a deep thrust that brutalized his prostate all over again -- made him squirm, fingers tearing into the sheets, "Want me to fill you up, give you my pups?"

"Daddy-" Ari hiccupped, the sound broken up by a loud moan that reverberated off the walls, "daddy, need you, p-please knot me, please-"

Rune watched every inch of himself disappear into Ari, right up to the thick knot at the base. Watched the way slick leaked out, watched the way his hole always gripped tighter as he withdrew, as if he couldn't bare being without it. Like he needed more.

And that's exactly what Rune gave to his sweet mate, pulling his cheeks apart only to press himself in hard, knot popping inside of him in one hard movement, "F-fuck, Ari-"

Ari's entire body tremored as he came, clenching down and moaning to the heavens as his vision whited out. Wave after wave of pleasure, unlike anything he'd felt before, as he was split open and Rune's hot cum filled up him all over again.

So much more, so much deeper, than before -- and the intensity of it caused Ari to sob into his pillow as he rutted against the blankets, riding out his orgasm.

Rune growled, "My pretty boy, taking me so well. Making daddy feel so fucking good." Grinding his knot deeper into Ari's warmth as he continued to ride out his own high. Determined give him every bit, to make him just as full as he needed, to keep his writhing against his cock, "Swallowing up my knot like you were made for it."

Ari whined at the feeling of being split open, so full and sensitive, each little roll of Rune's hips making him ache.

It lived on the border of pleasure, pain, and sheer need -- and he pressed himself back as if to make sure his alpha was staying. That he wouldn't go anywhere, as if that was even a possibility.

"Sweet thing," Rune cooed, fingers soothing over Ari's hips, along the small of his back, like he could feel where the ache was rooted.

His touch was soft as he felt the other shiver, still stretched around him so perfectly. He leaned down, caging him in as he pressed kisses along the back of his neck.

Ari let out a pitiful sound, tilting his head to the side, exposing his mating gland -- trying to get Rune to kiss along it just like he'd done before. Wanting to feel close as they were locked together like this. "Alpha..."

Instincts gripped Rune hard.

Everything inside him told him to bite. To claim. To mark this pretty omega as his, because he was.

Ari was his omega. His lover. His mate. And his mate needed him, was submitting to him so prettily, exposing that sensitive skin like the good boy he was.

... but he couldn't. Wouldn't. Not yet.

Ari's heat was doing too much of the talking right now, every action driven by pure baser instinct. And as fucking inebriating as that was, Rune wanted to have him clear-headed in his bed when he finally sunk his teeth in and bound them together.

Like they were supposed to be.

"Such a good boy, Ari, my perfect, sweet omega," he murmured against sensitive skin, feeling how it instantly made the other squirm back against him -- babbling all over again.

Rune ran his fingers along Ari's stomach, swearing when he could feel the head of his own cock pressed against his palm; a feeling that only made Ari whine all over again.

"Not yet, baby... be good for me, hm? Just a bit longer..."

"Doesn't-" Ari murmured, cocking his head a little more, looking to Rune over his shoulder, "Doesn't alpha want me?"

It was a look that could have destroyed Rune's entire world, including his willpower.

He soothed his fingers against sensitive skin, "Alpha wants you more than anything," rolling them so Ari was spooned against him on his side, one arm wrapped around him snuggly. A low contented rumble left his lips when the other instantly pressed back into them, their arm falling over his tightly, "I'll claim you, baby. Just not during your heat, okay?"

"But-"

"Don't argue, Ari," Rune intercepted, pressing a kiss into his shoulder, canines pressed against his skin. "And no biting me either. Not till your heat is finished."

"But I want it," Ari argued, petulant, no room for anything but what he desired in his heat addled brain. He squirmed back against Rune's knot, squeezing around it, the lull of an omega that wanted. Wanted it so much, so bad, more so now that they were locked together, "Please, alpha?"

Rune let out a guttural growl against Ari's skin, feeling the other shudder against him. Fingers pressing deeper into the gentle swell of his hips, keeping him from moving too much, "Don't be naughty, baby... be the good boy I know you are."

Ari whimpered, frustration evident in every breathy sound that escaped his lips. "I-I'm trying." His voice trembled, filled with need.

But he couldn't understand it. His head so fluffy, addled with the heat of his alpha being close, couldn't understand why his mate wouldn't claim him. Had he... had he not been a good boy? Was he not good enough?

Rune tightened his grip, his own resolve wavering but never breaking, even as he felt Ari's scent start to sour slightly with worry, "Settle, baby... my perfect, sweet, omega..." He nibbled just below his ear, "I'm going to claim you, don't you worry. Gonna mark you so that everyone knows your mine..."

Ari couldn't help but squirm back against Rune. It caused his mate's knot to tug against his rim, making hm whimper, so sensitive and full. He shivered at the growl that reverberated down his neck, feeling it turn into liquid heat in his core.

"You want that so bad, don't you? To be pupped up and marked..."

"Rune, please..." it felt like torture, to be offered what his body was crying for but knowing that he wouldn't get it. Not tonight.

And maybe, when his heat settled, he would regret wanting it so badly... but it wasn't a thought right now. It couldn't be when they were so close. When Ari was physically vibrating with need.

"So pretty, baby," Rune cooed, fingers curling around his cock, stroking lazily.

Ari squirmed harder, overstimulated, hot, wanting to pull back but also never wanting the touch to end.

"Are you thinking about it? Is that what's got you so soaked all over again?" Rune nuzzled low into his neck, "Greedy thing, it hasn't even been that long."

Like he didn't know that he was actively stoking embers that never went out. Like he didn't know that's exactly what Ari's heat was -- need doused in desire so thick that it made him perfectly pliable.

A whine left the younger's lips, rocking against Rune's fingers and then back against his knot.

Rune hummed low in his throat, the sound bordering on a purr as he felt Ari's soaked body grind back against him again, helpless and trembling.

The poor thing was slicking so much now that it coated both their thighs, clinging wet and hot between them. The overstimulation, the fullness, the heat--everything was colliding in Ari's body with nowhere to go, and Rune could feel it. Could feel every twitch, every tremble, every little clench of that perfect hole still hugging his knot so tightly.

"Alpha..." Ari's voice broke again, soft and thin, like a wire strung too tight, "It's too much, but I-- I still want..."

"I know, baby." Rune kissed his temple, voice a warm balm against fraying nerves. "You're doing so good, taking your alpha so well. All stretched out, plugged full, and still begging for more."

Ari's breath caught, a soft hiccup of shame and need all tangled together. "M'sorry..."

Rune's eyes darkened. "Don't you dare apologize for wanting me. For needing me."

His hand splayed against Ari's stomach, possessive, reverent. "This is what you're made for, baby. This heat? This ache? I'm the one meant to soothe it. I'm the only one who can."

The weight of those words, thick with truth, made Ari mewl. His omega instincts pulsed, drawn taut by Rune's nearness, his knot, his voice. "Y-you are," he whispered, tearful but sure, "Only you, alpha..."

"That's right," Rune growled, lips brushing the shell of his ear. "And you're mine, Ari. Say it."

"M-yours," Ari gasped out, barely coherent through the haze, "I-I'm yours, daddy..."

That word again. Fuck, it made Rune throb inside him.

The omega's body was a furnace--too hot, too needy--and Rune could feel the tremble in his limbs, the way his thighs fought between wanting to spread wider or curl in tighter.

He was on the edge again, even though they hadn't moved, even though they were already locked together. That was what the heat did--reset every limit. Erased every peak so the climb could start again.

"You gonna cum for me again, baby?" Rune whispered, tightening his grip just slightly around the base of Ari's cock, watching the way his omega jolted forward like he'd been shocked, breath shattering into shards. "Even like this? So sensitive, so full you can barely think?"

Ari whimpered, the sound breaking open into a moan when Rune gave a short, slow grind of his hips, letting his knot tug just enough to be felt--reminding Ari what he was locked around. His own fingers clutched Rune's, desperate, anchoring.

"P-please," he whispered, "don't stop... can't--can't do it alone..."

"Shhh," Rune soothed, kissing along the salt-slick curve of his neck, "I'm not going anywhere, baby. I've got you."

His hand started moving again--slow, teasing pumps that matched the lazy rock of his hips. Not enough to satisfy. Not enough to finish. But just enough to send Ari spiraling again.

"You gonna fall apart for me again?" Rune murmured, voice molten, dark. "Gonna make a mess on daddy's hand while you're stuffed full of my knot like a good little cumdump?"

Ari cried out, a broken sound, as his hips jerked and shuddered helplessly. His cock twitched under Rune's fingers, leaking slick tears of precum, his whole body taut with strain.

"That's my boy," Rune purred, tongue licking a stripe up the side of his throat, "Go on, baby. Let go for me. Make daddy proud."

It took only another stroke--another filthy whisper into his ear--before Ari snapped, back arching as his orgasm tore through him again.

He sobbed as he came, not even fully aware of it, his whole body locking up around Rune's knot like it wanted to keep him forever.

Rune held him through it, crooning praises into his hair. "That's it... good boy, good boy, ride it out, I've got you..."

And when Ari slumped, boneless and wrecked, against his chest, Rune wrapped both arms around him and simply held. Rocked. Breathed with him. Whispered sweet nothings until his mate's ragged breathing evened out.

"You're okay," he murmured. "You're perfect. And when your heat passes, I'm gonna show you just how much you mean to me."

Ari hummed, the sound almost content, even as he squirmed weakly around the still-throbbing knot locked deep inside him. "Still so full..."

Rune smiled against his skin. "That's the idea."

They laid there, curled together in the nest Ari had made, Rune murmuring soft, gentle words while Ari dozed against him--every breath thick with the scent of heat, sex, and alpha. But it was Rune's touch that grounded him. That calmed the ache. That reminded him he wasn't alone in this.

He had his alpha. His Rune.

And Rune had him.
