"Okay fine, after meeting with Pack Douche Canoe, how they handled our meeting and dismissed my interests, the whole thing kind of turned me off alphas in general. Not that I really wanted a pack to begin with, but I thought maybe a pack with a female alpha would be at least a little better."
She snuggles her face into my neck, breathing me in. "And now?"
"Now…" I trail off, "I want to make things work with you. I don't want anyone else."
"How are we going to get through our heats?" She frowns at me. "I went off my suppressants a few months ago. Because I was onthem for so long, it fucked up my cycle. It could hit at literally any time. I had figured I'd go to a heat clinic or something."
My brows pinch together. "Little nymph…you had a pack. Why were you on suppressants?"
She stills for a second before letting out a shuddering breath. "The guys…they said they couldn't take off work for that long to take care of me every three months."
My omega wants to claw its way out of my chest with the anger shaking through me right now. "They made you take suppressants because they couldn't be bothered to help you through your heat?"
"They didn'tmakeme," she says weakly, "I willingly complied. I thought I was being a good omega, making my alphas' lives easier." I can hear the tears in her voice, and I lean back my head to look at her while my fingers grip her chin.
"Youarea good omega, baby. The best." Her eyes water as she shakes her head.
"I stayed with a pack for three years who wouldn't bond me. I have to be the worst omega in history."
Threeyears?
"They're fucking idiots," I growl. "But I'm glad they're idiots, because that means that I don't have to share you with them."
"I mean, I'm not arguing with you there." She lets out a shaky chuckle. "So…what are we going to do? I've never had a sedated heat, but I'm sure it's not fun."
"It's not." I grimace. My mind turns over our options. How do we get through our heats without any alphas?
"We could go to a heat clinic—" Her words are cut off by my growl. What the hell is up with me today? She gives me an exasperated look. "I don't want any alphas either, Miles. But it's not safe for us to try to ride it out on our own. We can hole up at a heat clinic with toys, and that way, if it's not enough…we can have them come sedate me."
The thought of Bethany being hooked up to all the same machines I had been attached to only two weeks ago makes my skin crawl. Hell, sharing her with alphas is a preferable outcome to that.
But if that's what she wants…
"If that's what you want, baby, that's what we'll do. We can get a silicone knot for me, and when my heat hits we can get you one of those inserts that mimics a female alpha's lock."
Her scent blooms around us at my words and in the next instance, I'm pulling her onto my lap so she straddles me. "You like that? You want to milk my cock with your alpha lock, baby?"
"Fuck yes I do," she moans before capturing my lips in a kiss. "Wanna wring every ounce of pleasure from my omega."
That's exactly what she does as she shimmies down my body, taking my cock in her mouth. She hums around my length as my head falls back, my hands tangling in her hair. "Fuck, Bethany, yes. Just like that."
I have no idea how long we go on for until we both fall asleep, but omegas who haven't had sex in over six months have a lot to make up for.
"Shhh, go back to sleep, baby," I whisper as I press a kiss to Bethany's hair.
"What time is it?" she groans, rolling over and pressing her face into the sheets. We stayed up late last night, unable to keep our hands off each other.
"Seven. I have to leave for work."
She shoots up, sending me an incredulous look. "I can't believe I don't know what you do for work."
"Itiskind of hard for you to ask questions about my life when you have my cock in your mouth." I bark a laugh and manage to dodge the pillow she launches my way.
"Wheredoyou work?" she asks, stretching her arms over her head.
"Starbrook High," I check my tie in the mirror on my wall, "I teach physics."
"So you're like…smartsmart."
