Ned nearly threw up, but he wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans and started walking toward the black, four-door sedan pulling into the drive.
It was time.
Ezer had neverfelt anything like the humming heat beneath his skin, burning into his muscles, making him restless and leaving him shifting in wet, soggy underwear beneath his jeans. His nipples ached, his cock was half-hard, and he loathed that he was losing the fight to stay aware and coherent in front of his asshole ‘father’.
“It would have been kinder towaitbefore triggering his heat,” Pete opined, in a rare instance of disagreeing with his alpha. He sat across from Ezer and his father in the limo, still ridiculously large with child and draped in the softest robe. Normally, at this stage he wouldn’t leave the house at all, but George planned to take Pete to the private cabin in the mountains in anticipation of his delivery. There they’d be joined by a dedicated doctor who’d be on hand just for Pete and the new baby.
Recent studies had shown that giving birth in a quiet, stress-free environment and remaining there for several weeks afterward helped mitigate the post-partum drop. Pete was willing to do anything George proposed at this point, so his dissent about the “kindness” of having Ezer crashing on incoming heat waves when he arrived to meet this alpha—whoever it was who’d been given an absurd amount of money to take Ezer off George’s hands—was interesting.
Not interesting enough to distract Ezer from the hot, sizzling need making him pant and writhe, forcing his eyes back into his head, so hot it was agony as it washed over him. George pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and breathed through it. “It’s a kindness to have him ready and willing,” George said, instructionally. “He’s not like you, Pete. He’s stubborn. This will help and, in the end, when he’s pregnant, he’ll be glad for it.”
Pete seemed skeptical.
For his part, Ezer was enraged at being so out of control, so vulnerable, and utterly at the heat’s mercy—and soon to be at the mercy of a strange young man chosen for him by his parents. Never mind having his heat triggered in advance was whathe’dasked for, begged for even, it turned out theexperienceof heat was still terrifyingly lacking in consent. When he’d pleaded for this, he hadn’t known what he was asking for. How could he have? Heat was beyond comprehension until it came over you.
At the time, he’d only know he didn’t want any way out of his choice, afraid he wouldn’t have the courage to follow through if he wasn’t desperate for a knot before he’d even met this alpha. But he’d been wrong. The heat being already on him didn’t change that he was still terrified, furious, and helpless. And hornier than he’d ever imagined possible.
Ezer moaned as another searing wave rose up.
George coughed and rapped on the partition between them and the limo’s beta driver. “How much longer?”
“Just ahead, sir.”
Ezer’s asshole leaked slick, and his nipples tingled. He wanted to get free of the car, away from his father and Pete before he lost his mind. The need inside grew so unbearable, he was tempted to throw the car door open and leap out, running until he found an alpha to knot him. But as he reached for the lock mechanism, the limo slowed, and his father jumped from the car himself. Ezer peered from of the window, sweat pooling in his pits and crotch, and his asshole quivering wetly.
Dunes. Waves. A pale sun.
Ezer shuddered and rocked, trying to get satisfaction by rubbing his body over the supple leather of the seats. His clothes were too rough, and he wanted to be rid of them, but he still had enough sense to keep them on.
The door beside him jerked open. A man ducked in and pulled back, coughing. “He’s in full heat,” he barked. “What in God’s name were you thinking having him start like this?”
“Calm down, Lidell,” George said. “He wanted it this way. Besides he’ll make less trouble for your son in this state. I know what I’m doing.”
“Trouble for my son? He looks a hundred pounds soaking wet. My son’s all muscle. He wouldn’t have any trouble with your boy.”
“Well, this way there’s no question, is there? He’ll be begging for a knot instead of running from it.”
Lidell—the name seemed familiar but Ezer couldn’t place it—huffed, but ducked back in and tugged Ezer out of the car with a gentleness George’s men had lacked when shoving him in. “Come on, now. Let’s get you inside.”
Ezer shuddered under the firm pressure of an alpha’s hands. This must be the man his father contracted him to be with, a bit older than he’d like, but it didn’t matter now. It was all he could do not to sway into Lidell’s arms and rub against him like a cat in heat. Because hewasin heat. His first. And,fuck, it was overwhelming. Any alpha would do. He needed to feel full and fucked and knotted. No wonder cats caterwauled. He wanted to throw back his own head and wail in needy agony, too.
Instead he fell to his knees and started pawing at the front of Lidell’s trousers.
“Shameful,” Lidell hissed at George. “You should have given him some time here with my son to adjust.” He gripped Ezer’s hands in his own, stopping his quest to get to his cock.
Ezer moaned. “Please,” he whispered. “Help me. I need it. Ineedit. Please.”
Lidell stroked a hand into Ezer’s hair soothingly. “Of course you do, sweetheart. You’ll have it, too. Come here, son!”
Ezer didn’t even look up as a pair of muscled legs encased in jeans tenting obscenely at the crotch came into view. Hungrily, he dove for this new alpha’s groin, rubbing his face against his hardness, and wriggling his ass around in desperation. He wanted his clothes off. He wanted to get fucked—whatever that felt like. Ezer shivered, skin too sensitive, heart pounding, and he heard Pete make a sharp sound of disapproval.
“I don’t like this, George,” Pete said in a small voice. “I’ll wait in the car. But, for the record, I donotapprove of this at all.”
Hands gripped Ezer’s hair, holding him in place, and he breathed in the delicious scent of ripe, dripping cock. As he mouthed the jeans covering the alpha’s cock, he didn’t care who it belonged to, only that it was hard for him. He needed alpha cock in his bodynow. As soon as possible.
“The money has been wired to the bank,” George said. “If your son can make sure Ezer’s no longer a nuisance and embarrassment to me, and if he can get him knocked up sooner rather than later, then you’ll never want for anything again. Sums will be settled on you, your son, and each child born that will make dealing with Ezer and his issues more than worth it. You won’t need to turn to your arrogant prick of a brother Heath for anything ever again. But, if your soncan’thandle Ezer, and if Ezer returns to his prior inappropriate behavior, ambitions, and affiliations, then not only will the funds be cut off, but you’ll owe me reparations. Understand?”
“It’s all in the contract,” Lidell said testily.
