“Thanks for doing this,” he said, immediately making a drink and a snack. “Here, why don’t you take this to her.”
He set the plate on the island.
“I’ll start breakfast so she has something warm soon. Even if she barely eats, something is better than nothing.”
“How’s she doing? And how’s our alpha holding up?”
Corvin had always told us that one alpha could handle heat. He’d prepared for it, insisted he’d manage whatever he had to. Corvin had integrity, but I worried he’d burn himself out.
If she let us stay in her life, let us share her heats in the future, we’d have to get toys for Ezra and I to help keep her sated.
But I couldn’t think that far ahead. Not when she was adamant this entire encounter was no-strings-attached.
We’d agreed… because she wasn’t a scent-match then.
Now that I’d breathed her scent and tasted her, there was no universe where I could just walk away.
Still… it wasn’t my choice.
It was hers.
I had a feeling she was the kind of girl who stuck to her guns.
“He’s doing fine, but we need to keep her occupied in between. You’re up,” he said, pushing the plate closer.
“Thanks, Ezra,” I said, picking up the electrolyte drink and fruit platter that he prepared for her before heading into the room.
Corvin and Bea were both sitting up. The omega was on his lap, locked with his knot, rocking her hips slowly, but neither one of them seemed in much of a hurry.
Her body was slumped over him, head resting on his chest. She was exhausted. I had to get her energy up. The need to take care of her was so strong it pushed me forward.
“Hey, omega, how are we feeling?” I asked, as I sat down next to them. Her eyes fluttered open and a soft smile curled her lips. “Can you take a drink for me?”
I put the straw to her lips and she obediently opened and closed around it. She took a small swallow, then another, finally drinking it down until it was empty.
“Good job,” I praised, her smile brightening even as she barely moved.
I sat the drink aside and picked up a piece of fruit, offering it to her.
Even in her heat, she eyed it for a second before opening her mouth.
“Don’t worry, your friends made sure I got only things you like,” I promised her as I popped a strawberry past her lips.
She closed them around my fingers, her tongue swirling over me to get every drop of strawberry juice before pulling back.
From the satisfied smirk on her face, the omega was being playful now, and she did that on purpose.
“Oh, our omega likes to play,” I teased. She hummed happily, opening her mouth again for another bite.
I picked up a grape this time and she did the same thing, teasing my fingers and making my cock ache for her.
I was so focused on filling her stomach that I didn’t notice that Corvin’s knot had let her go. Not until the omega was scrambling towards me. I barely had time to set aside the fruit before catching her in my arms.
She nuzzled into me, scent marking my cheek and neck, her fingers roaming over the muscles on my abdomen that she seemed to like so much.
It made every grueling hour of training worth it to see her reaction last night.
She continued to nuzzle her way down my body, her cheek running over my abs, and then down until she found what she was looking for.
