Chapter 48 Passion and Heat

Kari slept for the better part of two days, only waking when Ryedir came and hand fed him light foods.

He had used far more of his power than he initially realized. It had been far from running out but the fight went on for a surprising amount of time. Minor cuts and scrapes that marked his unprotected skin had been carefully treated by Ryedir but had now mostly healed.

He drifted in the comfortable space between sleeping and wakefulness when he noticed something disturbing his blankets. A familiar scent washed over him and he blinked his eyes open owlishly.

“Rye?”

“How are you feeling?” Ryedir asked softly as he pulled more of the blankets away from Kari’s frame.

The omega didn’t reply, his brain was oddly sluggish and he struggled to process exactly what was being asked of him.

“You’re nesting,” the alpha said by way of explanation.

Kari blinked. Nesting? But that would mean…

He looked around and sure enough, pillows and blankets piled high around him and the alpha was still extracting him from even more blankets. Kari honestly didn’t even remember pulling everything to him to make a nest. All he knew was that he had been drifting in comfortable oblivion for an indefinite amount of time.

But nesting like this usually only happened with bonded omegas where their bodies had a period of time before their heats that allowed them to wait for their alpha to arrive before the onslaught came on. He had never heard of it happening with a non-bonded one.

That was all he had a chance to think about before his alpha’s presence triggered the familiar haze of hot lust.

He whimpered as Ryedir finally extracted him from his nest and pulled him onto his lap. Slick dripped down his thighs, the heat rushing in quick and hard now that it had been triggered.

“Rye…” Kari whimpered in distress as the need built higher and higher. He had never been taken so fast or so intensely by a heat before.

“Shh, I’ve got you.”

The alpha sat back against the headboard with the omega in his lap and pulled him up so they were pressed chest to chest as he reached around to press a finger at his slick hole.

A hungry mouth pressing against his own trapped his needy whines and Kari was torn between pressing back against the fingers to ask for more or press up into the wet kiss to be closer to his alpha. His frustration eased as Ryedir pulled him up onto his knees and two fingers breached his hole. The omega moaned in satisfaction as the pressure relieved some of the ache deep inside of him but it wasn’t enough.

Not nearly enough.

Slick ran copiously down his thighs now and the smell of it permeated the room. Ryedir groaned into his mouth as Kari pushed himself backwards, trying to fuck himself on thick fingers. He was done with just getting fingers. He knew what magic they could do to him but that wasn’t what he wanted.

They wouldn’t ease the ache deep inside or the lustful madness that had taken over his mind.

“Please, alpha, I need you. Rye, please. In me.” Ryedir groaned and shifted Kari closer still, trying to capture his lips again. “Rye, now!”

The alpha chuckled and rearranged them so that Kari straddled his lap with his cock pressed up against his slick hole.

“Take what you need, love,” Ryedir whispered into his ear as he nuzzled against him.

Kari pushed backwards, slowly impaling himself on that thick cock and moaned throatily in satisfaction. Arching his back, he pushed back further and relished in the low groan he pulled from his alpha. It felt so good, the stretch didn’t even burn and the full feeling overrode some of the ache burning inside.

Ryedir sat mostly still, eyes riveted on his omega, as Kari bounced on his lap, fucking himself slowly. He peeked up at the man and was met with a bestial expression warring with restraint. As much as he appreciated Ryedir giving him control this first time, that wasn’t what he wanted right now.

No, he wanted to be fucked.

Long and deep and hard.

His legs strained at his actions and he moaned louder, forcing his speed to increase, desperately seeking release and an ease to his need. He wanted to make his alpha snap and lose all semblance of control. He wanted him to be just as desperate and wanting and overcome as he was. Kari held onto coherency only by the most tenuous grip but he was ready to throw it all to the wind and lose himself in the man he had chosen for an eternity.

“Faster. Need more… Please!” he whimpered desperately.

Large hands gripped his hips with bruising force and Kari cried out in pleasure as Ryedir held him in place as he thrusted up into him. The force and speed overwhelmed him and the omega was coming before he even knew what was happening. The alpha didn’t relent in his pace and Kari was lost in one long rolling orgasm as his alpha fucked him straight through over-sensitivity.

A low groan ripped from the alpha’s throat and Kari buried his hands in his dark hair as he brought them close enough to kiss messily. Tongues mimicked their movements until Ryedir broke away with a groan and wrapped his arms tight around Kari, pulling him against his chest as he spilled his seed inside. The knot that had been forming at the base of his cock ballooned in size and locked them together.

Kari sighed in satisfaction. For now, the deep ache and need to be filled had been sated and his submissive instincts took over without being forced back for once. He lay limp in the tight embrace as the knot swelled even more. It was so big as to be almost uncomfortable at this angle, putting pressure on his small body with the sheer size.

Ryedir moved up onto his knees, still holding his omega close, and grabbed their pillows to arrange in a small pile before carefully laying him back against them. Another small sigh escaped him as the pressure released with the change in angle and he lay under his alpha still securely held in place by the knot.

Large hands smoothed over his skin comfortingly and Kari closed his eyes while he soaked up the gentle ministrations. Some thought returned as the heat haze retreated for a short while but he still couldn’t find it in himself to be irritated at his submissiveness in this condition. He honestly wasn’t certain if he could force it back once he was in heat. After all, it was something so deeply ingrained. Little kisses followed the hands and he tangled his hands in dark hair before pulling Ryedir up to his face.

They locked gazes for a long moment before Kari tilted his head to the side, exposing his neck submissively. A sincere wide smile flashed across the alpha’s face before he leaned in to lick and suckle at the pale skin at the junction of his neck and shoulder. The omega shivered and tugged on his hair, nervous anticipation coiling in his stomach.

He felt the lips curve into a smile before teeth sunk in to break the skin around his scent glands. His breath hitched as pain and pleasure flew through him at the gesture and suddenly he was infinitely more aware of the man above him.

A tongue laved at the small pinpricks of blood before Ryedir moved to offer Kari his own neck.

The gesture took the omega by surprise. It wasn’t required, just initiating the bond on one side was enough to forge a soul-bond between alpha and omega, but by offering Kari his own neck to mark, Ryedir sought to establish a bond that was fully equal.

Tentatively, Kari leaned forward to bite down at the exposed gland and moaned as the knot trapped inside of him pulsed as he broke skin. He gave a few licks to the small wound before pulling away.

They stayed like that, content just trading lazy kisses as Ryedir gently petted him in a soothing manner. When the alpha’s knot had finally receded enough to slip out, Kari found his body once again heating up. It seemed as though the only relief was during knotting.

The lustful daze descended once again and the omega flipped himself over to offer his hole to his alpha. A strangled groan was the response he got and he grinned in fierce satisfaction at the noise. He pushed backwards, arching his back and offering himself up completely.

“Rye..in me. Now.”

“Gladly.” Ryedir’s voice was low and rough, sending thrills down Kari’s spine before the man pushed forward and invaded his entire being once again.

The alpha set a punishing rhythm that time and the omega cried out in ecstasy even as he met him thrust for thrust. Fingers dug more bruises into his waist as he desperately pleaded for more, harder, faster.

More.

There was no soft finesse to their mating this time, no semblance of restraint. Just brutal passion and Kari howled as he came again and again to the dominating force of the other. It was a mind shattering pleasure and Kari could not get enough.

Ryedir was more than happy to give him exactly what he needed.
