“Nothing could stop me.”
***
When Valentin pushed openZeller’s door, he was unsurprised to find the omega unclothed on the bed. Although he had never been with an omega in heat before, he had received enough education on the subject in school—not to mention living in a thin-walled apartment complex—to understand what would happen, and more importantly, how to help. His instincts would round out any knowledge he lacked.
Sugar maple thickened the air. It was a good thing he’d arrived when he had, because if Zeller’s heat was stronger, it would have been much more difficult for Valentin to control his alpha. As it was, the beast inside him vibrated as he took in Zeller’s naked body for the first time.
The emotions assailing him were impossible to process. He’d had other partners, seen other men, but that was nothing compared to seeing this man, the one who had captured his heart and his mind so thoroughly, laid out before him.
Zeller in heat was an incredible sight. The curves of his compact form enticed Valentin as he arched his back. He was hairless, other than a smattering of curls above his delicate pink cock, which was stiff and pointing at the ceiling.
Valentin swallowed, tamping down his alpha’s desire to pounce and claim. He stalked toward the bed.
Zeller hadn’t noticed him at first, but his head turned at the sound of footsteps.
“You came,” the omega whispered. His cheeks flushed as he put a hand over his erection.
“Of course I came.” Valentin quickly shed his clothing. He slid into bed next to Zeller and removed the omega’s hand from his shaft. “You don’t have to cover yourself in front of me. Never.”
Zeller approximated a smile and panted out, “I don’t know what happened. I felt hot in the middle of the night, and Ithought I might be getting sick. Then when I woke up a few hours ago, I barely had time to warn Antoni before I was…like this.”
Valentin knew what Zeller needed from him, but he had to check in before they were both overtaken by their urges. His inner alpha strained beneath his skin.Claim him.
But this leap could not be made lightly. “Can I touch you?” he asked gently. “Where you need me most?”
Zeller responded by rolling onto his side and wiggling the smooth round globes of his ass.
Spooning him from behind, Valentin placed gentle kisses on his back and shoulders as he stuck two fingers in his passage, which was already wet and dripping with slick. He kept a steady rhythm, rubbing and caressing the inner walls. Soon enough, Zeller’s moans turned from pain to pleasure.
“There you go,” Valentin murmured, sucking Zeller’s earlobe. “I’m going to give you what you need, going to put my cock here and make you feel so good.” The sucking turned to gentle nibbling. “But first, I want to tell you that I love you. You need to know that. And I wish I had the time to be more romantic, to make sure you understand, but I hope it’s enough for now to say that no matter what happens, I’m going to see you through this, and be responsible for whatever happens after.”
Zeller reached an arm back, bending his elbow to tug on Valentin’s neck, pulling him closer. “You mean my parents?”
“That, and also if this turns out to be a breeding heat.” Zeller gasped, but Valentin continued levelly, “You being young lowers the odds, but I want to be clear that I’m in this with you. I’m going to use condoms, but during your delirium tomorrow, if it seems like they aren’t working… I remember learning that some omegas need direct contact with alpha semen during a heat.” Valentin’s heart skipped a beat as the enormity of the situation hit him once again. He wished he didn’t sound so much like atextbook, but his omega didn’t need any uncertainty from him. “Are you okay with me going bare? If it comes to that?”
“Yes,” Zeller answered without hesitation. “I trust you, and I already told you I’m yours. Whatever happens, I’m ready.”
Valentin was honored by the faith in his eyes. The gravity of the moment did not escape him.
But above any other consideration was his conviction that he would not fail Zeller.
“I’m going to fuck you now,” he said, removing his fingers. “I love you.”
After rolling on a condom, Valentin slid into Zeller’s wet heat, seating himself fully without delay. A wave of pleasure traveled through his body as his cock found its home, the dark hair at his groin pressed against Zeller’s crease. From the top of his head to the tips of his toes, every touchpoint was electrified.
A gravelly rumble emanated from his throat, unlike any sound he’d made before.
“Fuck, that’s sexy,” Zeller said.
Valentin nipped the shell of his ear. “Glad you approve.” He hooked an arm over Zeller’s chest, squeezing him closer as he thrust harder.
“So good,” the omega breathed out.
“More than good,” Valentin replied huskily. “Life changing.”
“I won’t last long.”
“Me neither.” Valentin pumped his hips with intention. The omega’s channel provided the perfect pressure for his dick. “When I come, can I knot you? It’ll probably make you feel better.”
