“Where is that shirt?”

Black was getting increasingly agitated. His preheat was supposed to start later in the day and he was packing supplies for their nest. Gumpa was back at the garage, setting up food and drinks. They would be in heat and in rut for at least five to seven days. 

“Fuck,” Black snapped. He hadn’t been able to find a very specific shirt he knew he wanted for their nest. His inner omega was scratching at his insides, distressed because of the upcoming heat. Black almost wanted to scream or curl up in a ball for a while. He knew the heat was going to be very intense because his inner omega was aware that Gumpa would be claiming him. They had discussed it a few times the weeks prior. His inner omega wanted Gumpa so bad but they decided to wait until claiming for any kind of sexual activity. Gumpa was the one who suggested it with a wide smile. 

“It could be better that way,” Gumpa said, his voice dropping volume and he leaned in closer, “First time I make you scream, you’ll be in heat.”

Black only responded by pushing his shoulder and scolding him by saying, “Hia!” 

“P’Black?”

Black was pulled from his thoughts by his brother’s voice behind him. He turned his head to see White and Yok standing in the doorway of his room, his brother holding the spare key.

“What are you doing here?” Black asked, his teeth clenched. He didn’t want to be mean to him but everything was irritating him. All he wanted was to find that shirt so he could have a perfect nest. A perfect nest with Gumpa for their mating. 

“We…We just came to talk to you before your heat,” White said, eyeing his brother’s body language.

“Are you looking for something, Ai’Black?” Yok asked. He walked past White and looked at the mess of shirts all over the floor.

“I need the black shirt that hia gave me,” Black gritted out.

“Do you want help?”

“No,” Black snapped. He knew that Yok was trying to be nice but the thought of someone trying to take over and find his stuff made him feel agitated. His inner omega was feeling a bit territorial.

Yok nodded and took a few steps back to rest against Black’s closet. Black was immediately grateful for the distance. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried waiting for his emotions to stabilize. 

“Is it that one?” White asked, pointing at something in the pile. Black opened his eyes and saw where the black shirt was underneath a few other balled-up shirts. He snatched it from the pile and looked at it closely. It was the shirt. Fuck. Black held the shirt to his chest and closed his eyes to hide his emotions. He knew White could feel some of it through their twin bond but he would rather them not see his frustration and turmoil. 

Black felt an arm around his shoulders and knew it was his twin. He had sat down on the floor next to him and started to rub his head on Black’s shoulder and head. He was scenting him. Black felt Yok sit on his other side, not touching him but he was there. After a few moments of the scenting, Black opened his eyes.

“What did you two want to talk about?” 

White pulled back enough so they could all see each other’s faces. Black looked between the two others, who were sharing a look. Finally, White said, “Since we’ve both been through claiming, we thought we could talk to you about it so you know everything.”

Black raised his eyebrows and his mouth almost dropped open.

“I really don’t want to hear about your sex life with Ai’Sean,” Black said before looking at Yok, “Or P’Dan.” 

Yok spluttered, “We weren’t going to give you sex details.”

White winced, “I don’t think we should ever share details like that.”

Yok leaned back on his hands in a relaxed position and he almost looked thoughtful for a moment.

“Actually, maybe we should. I’m kind of curious about hia.”

Black almost snarled but stopped himself last minute. White reached over and gently hit Yok’s knee. 

“What?” Yok squawked, “I’m just curious what he’s like because, you know, it’s hia.”

Black rolled his eyes. He knew Yok wasn’t interested in Gumpa in that way because they talked about it when they joined the gang. And by “they” it was primarily a conversation that took place between Gram and Yok. They were the starters of all the stupid conversations. 

“I’m not telling you details about Alpha. Ever,” Black said. When he received two surprised looks he realized he had referred to Gumpa as “Alpha.” Black groaned out loud.

“I didn’t mean to say that. My inner omega is annoying.”

Yok and White nodded sympathetically. 

“Like we were saying though, we just wanted to give some…advice,” White said carefully.

“Advice? Like what?”

White and Yok shared another look at each other which made Black feel increasingly irritated. 

“Well…the rut and heat might not start at the same time. Like you might not be in sync,” Yok said.

“I started my heat first but Dan didn’t go into rut until a few hours later.”

At his words, Black winced. He did not want to imagine any of his pack members having sex. 

“And Ai’Sean started his rut way before my heat started,” White said with the tips of his ears turning red. 

Black groaned aloud this time. He didn't want to hear anything about his brother's sex life with Sean either. 

“Is that all you wanted to say?”

“...Have you taken a knot before?” Yok asked.

“Ai’Yok!” White scolded. 

“It’s a fair question!”

Black glared at him and clenched his jaw. He really didn’t want to be talking about that with them. But he knew their intentions were good. They had come to his room to give him advice and reassurances before his heat since they had the experience that he didn’t. He just hoped the conversation would never be brought up again. 

“Not a real one,” Black gritted out.

“A toy then?”

“Ai’Yok!” White hit his knee again gently, not putting any force behind it. It was more like a tap.

“Yes,” Black said. His scent was getting heavier with his distaste.

“Good. But real knots are a bit different from the toys. It’s really important that you be careful and make sure he puts his knot in before it expands too much,” Yok explained. Black winced. Those were not words he wanted to hear from his friend’s mouth. At least it wasn’t advice from White, Black thought to himself. 

“And remember to use alpha knot condoms,” White said. 

“Is that all?” Black asked impatiently. 

“And make sure that you put ointment on the mark after your heat to help it heal properly,” Yok said. 

“Oh, and don’t forget to tell him when you need breaks.”

“Make sure to drink a lot of fluids.”

“Don’t be afraid to tell hia to wait either if you need a break.”

“Okay, okay, thank you,” Black interrupted before they could tell him anything else.

“One more thing,” Yok said. Then he reached into the shoulder bag that he was always carrying and pulled out a sort of large box and placed it on Black’s lap. It was a pack of twenty alpha knot condoms. Black looked at the box then at Yok and repeated it a few times. He had a dangerous look in his eyes.

“Think of it as a claiming present,” Yok said with a slight wince. 

Claiming presents were gifts from pack members when someone mates and claims someone for the first time. It was another typically old-school tradition. But leave it to his friends for taking an old tradition and twisting it. Black almost snickered for a second because Yok, his friend, Yok went to the store to buy and give him a box of condoms for his claiming.

Black sighed and examined the box before saying a quiet, strained, “Thank you.”

The response was worth the gritting pain of saying it. Yok smiled widely, showing off his dimples.

“Anytime!”

White tighten his arm around Black’s shoulder and said, “Good luck, P’Black.”

Black closed his eyes and took in the scent of his pack mates. It was nice enough that his inner omega had settled a bit. Not really making him miserable and wanting to run into Gumpa’s arms. There was just a reminiscence of longing.

“I need to get to the garage soon. I need to build my nest,” Black said finally. 

“Right, we’ll, uh, get going,” White said.

Black put the black shirt in his bag with his other nesting materials along with the box of condoms. Yok and White stood by the door, waiting to walk out with Black. He followed them out of the room, locking his door before they went down the stairs to where they had all parked. 

“Ai’Black, next time we see you, you’ll be Pack Omega!”

At Yok’s words, he felt a rush of fondness. Black hummed and hugged White and released him to pull Yok into a side hug. It was the most contact they had had since they nested together. Yok melted into his side with a smile. 

“I’ll see you all in a week,” Black said. 

______________________

“Hia?”

Black entered the garage and announced his presence even though he knew the alpha knew where he was the same way Black could tell the alpha was in his room. Their room? His room? He wasn’t sure. 

Sure enough, Gumpa was in the bedroom with a pile of his own nesting materials. It mostly included soft blankets that he had been using and some shirts and clothing he knew Black liked. The alpha was standing with his back to the door, only wearing black boxers, his hair looking damp. His scent was strong. Black could tell he had showered recently. 

“Did you get here, okay?” Gumpa asked, turning to the side to look at Black. The omega didn’t meet his eyes though. He scanned over Gumpa’s body, taking in his thick arms and broad shoulders. His built abdomen and veins. Gumpa smiled and took a few steps closer before tilting his head to the side like a cute puppy.

“You can touch me if you want,” Gumpa said teasingly. He was getting increasingly bold as time went on. But he was only like that when they were alone together. He didn’t want to make Black uncomfortable by teasing him in front of the pack. 

The omega was brought out of his thoughts and he looked away, the tips of his ears turning red. He coughed.

“What are you talking about?”

Before Gumpa could respond he said, “When are we building our nest?”

Gumpa hummed, “After dinner? Your preheat won’t start for a while, right?” 

Black nodded and passed Gumpa to set his bag on the bed. 

“I made some dinner. I was just waiting for you to get here.”

Black nodded and felt arms wrap around him from behind. Gumpa pressed a kiss on his omega’s clothed shoulder. They swayed for a few minutes before Gumpa left to place the food on the wooden table outside of the room while Black organized the nesting materials. His omega wanted to enter preheat quickly so they could move on to the claiming. 

Black joined Gumpa at the table and they ate together, mostly in silence. But the alpha kept pushing bites of food in Black’s mouth. He wanted the omega to get full. His inner alpha wanted him to be completely prepared for the heat and rut. Black accepted before he started feeling strange. Black sat down his utensils and said, “I think my preheat might be starting early.”

Gumpa’s eyes widened and he started cleaning up.

“You can go to our room,” Gumpa said. Black felt warmth in his chest at the sound of “our room.” He nodded and went to the bedroom. He wanted to start the nest but he also wanted the alpha to build it with him. During his last heat, Gumpa had been there but he hadn’t built the nest. Building the nest was important for claiming. It made them feel connected and safe. 

Gumpa returned to their room to Black staring at the bed. He placed a hand on the back of Black’s neck and squeezed a little. 

“Are you okay?”

The omega nodded and said, “We need to build our nest.”

Gumpa used some of their shirts for the bottom of the nest, layering them. Black put one of the soft blankets over the shirts and they started on the walls. A few times Gumpa would stop and lean over to kiss Black’s cheek or sniff at his neck. His inner alpha was causing a warm glow of fondness in his chest. He was going to be mating with Black. He was going to be claiming a mate for life. Black accepted the affection easily. Sometimes he couldn’t help himself but kiss Gumpa’s smiling lips. Their scents were releasing happy pheromones into the air. Spicy mango, coconut, and lime combined in a sweet and tantalizing scent. 

Once they finished their nest, they climbed in and lay on their sides, facing each other. 

“How are you feeling, honey?” Gumpa asked quietly. They were in a serene and quiet atmosphere. He didn’t want to be too loud or disturb it.

“I…I can feel the cramps starting.”

The cramps that produced the slick had started in his lower stomach. It wasn’t too intense but it would eventually make him wince and whine. 

Gumpa placed a hand on Black’s cheek and rubbed his thumb on his cheekbone. 

Black closed his eyes and nuzzled into the hand.

Gumpa trailed his eyes over the omega’s face, taking in every feature that he had seen a million times. He couldn’t imagine not loving him anymore. He couldn’t believe that there was a time when Black didn’t consume his every thought. He couldn’t remember those times well. Has he always been infatuated or fond of Black? The alpha thought to himself that there had been times he just looked at him as a friend. But he couldn’t deny how strong his feelings had become.

Eventually, the cramps started getting worse and Black couldn’t stand laying the way he was laying. Black pulled away from the hand and rolled over. Gumpa scooted closer and wrapped his arms around the omega. Black clutched Gumpa’s arm and wiggled until he was entirely flushed against the alpha’s chest. Gumpa curled his body around Black. 

Black winced when his lower stomach cramped badly. Gumpa kissed the back of his neck and rubbed circles into his stomach slowly and carefully. 

“Are you okay?” Gumpa asked and Black shook his head.

“Hurts,” Black gritted out. His preheat was hitting him like a brick wall, showing how eager his inner omega was to enter full heat. 

“I’m sorry, baby.”

Black squeezed Gumpa’s hand that had been rubbing circles into his stomach, intertwining their fingers. 

“Get some sleep if you can,” Gumpa whispered softly. 

Black squeezed his eyes shut and let his body relax into the alpha’s strong body. He fell asleep to Gumpa kissing the back of his neck and sniffing his hair. 

_____________________

Black no longer had the feeling of cramps. Instead, he could feel longing rising from his stomach. His inner omega was ready to be mated. He had changed his position from facing away from Gumpa to lying on his back, Gumpa leaning over him, guiding him in a sweet but filthy kiss. They had exchanged kisses for what felt like hours and Black was ready to move on.

When they paused to catch their breaths, Black said, “I think my heat is starting.”

Gumpa hummed and ran a hand down Black’s naked chest until he got to the edge of his boxers. He traced the top of it and asked, “Can I take this off?”

“Are you seriously asking, hia?” Black asked.

“Yes,” Gumpa said firmly. 

Instead of answering, Black pushed down his boxers and took them all the way off, tossing them out of their nest and on the floor. He was sitting on his knees. Then Gumpa sat upon his knees and ran his eyes down Black’s body, settling his eyes on the omega’s cock. To Gumpa, Black was beautiful everywhere. He had beautiful, expressive eyes, wonderful lips that moved to express his inner thoughts, smooth legs, and a pretty cock nestled in a groomed patch of dark hair.

“Stop staring,” Black said and reached for the edge of Gumpa’s boxers. Then he looked up at the alpha and asked, “Can I?”

Gumpa quirked an eyebrow and asked teasingly, “Are you seriously asking?”

Black narrowed his eyes and the alpha just chuckled before pushing his boxers down and moving so he could take them off all the way, copying Black by tossing them on the floor.

Black licked his lips as he took in the sight, his mouth started watering. 

Gumpa was thick everywhere. He had thick arms, thick fingers, wide shoulders, and a thick cock. It was probably thicker and longer than any of Black’s heat toys that he used in the past. The hair at the base was much like his own, groomed a bit but still a thick patch of dark hair. Black reached for it before looking up at Gumpa hesitantly. 

“It’s okay,” Gumpa said softly. 

Black reached for Gumpa’s cock and wrapped his hand around it after getting the alpha’s permission. Black nearly moaned. He couldn’t even wrap his hand around him. Black knew he was going to feel so full from the alpha. He leaned down to take him in his mouth before looking up at the alpha.

“Can I?” Black asked.

Gumpa nodded and brushed his hand through Black’s hair tenderly before settling on the back of his neck. Black looked away from the alpha’s warm eyes and back on his weeping, thick cock, his mouth watering at the sight of the precum. He first placed a kiss on the thick mushroom head before taking him into his mouth and sucking gently. He only took in a few inches at first, his tongue moving on the underside, tracing a vein. Gumpa squeezed the back of his neck before relaxing his hand, not pushing, only holding. Black held still for a few moments, only moving his tongue and taking in the delicious taste of his alpha. Then he started to go down an inch or two further and started bobbing his head up and down, swallowing and sucking.

Gumpa sighed in pleasure and massaged the back of Black’s neck, his spicy mango scent getting thicker and thicker. Black sucked for a few minutes before trying to deepthroat him. He still had several inches to go when Gumpa’s cock hit the back of his throat and he gagged. Gumpa squeezed the back of Black’s neck and pulled his off as gently as he could. Black looked up at him as the head of Gumpa’s cock slipped from his mouth, spit and drool connecting his thick red lips to his cock. 

“I can take it,” Black said, his voice strained. 

Gumpa shook his head and said, “Later. I want to hold you.”

He pulled Black to mirror him, sitting upon his knees and he wrapped his arms around Black’s lithe body and pulled him against his chest. Black sighed, the heat in his stomach was getting more and more intense. But he wanted to enjoy his time with the alpha. Gumpa rubbed his hands in circles on Black’s back.

“You did so well,” he said quietly to the omega. 

Black huffed a little and then Gumpa took one hand and grasped one half of Black’s glorious ass.

“Can I touch you here?” Gumpa asked.

Black nodded into Gumpa’s neck and said, “You can touch me anywhere.”

The alpha kneaded the cheek that filled his hand. He continued the movements for a few moments before he took one thick finger and slipped it between his cheeks, touching the tight rim that was starting to drip some slick. Black rutted his hips a bit, his cock rubbing against Gumpa’s. Gumpa’s finger rubbed the tight rum, eliciting more slick to come out.

“Inside…please,” Black whispered. 

Gumpa pulled back and suggested, “Lay down?”

Black did as he said and laid on his back, his legs spread wide. Gumpa settled between his thighs and said, “If I do something you don’t like or if you want me to stop, tell me immediately. Understand?”

Black nodded quickly, his chest starting to heave from his breathing. 

Gumpa ran his rough hands over Black’s smooth thighs before he leaned down and took Black’s cock all the way in his mouth, down to the root. Black’s cock was smaller than the alpha’s but was still a good mouthful. He was able to deepthroat the omega though. Black groaned at the feeling and his hips bucked without him thinking. Gumpa didn’t gag or react but Black quickly said, “Sorry, hia. Sorry.” Gumpa only responded by swallowing and he started to bob his head, Black watching him the entire time. Then the alpha started touching his rim again with one hand, rubbing it and getting more slick dripping out. Gumpa wanted the omega to get as wet as possible to prepare him for his cock. Black was very tiny and he didn’t want to hurt him in any way. 

Black was starting to get impatient, his inner omega scratching at his insides, the fever burning him. 

“Please,” Black said, his voice strained. 

Gumpa swallowed around his cock and carefully pushed a finger in. Black’s body took it easy and he was able to move in and out. Soon there was a good amount of slick so Gumpa added a finger slowly, moving in and out before stretching him a little. His body took it easily. 

“Hia,” Black groaned and laced his hands in Gumpa’s hair, feeling closer and closer to cumming. Gumpa added a third thick finger and deepthroated him and swallowed. Black’s hips bucked a few times in small thrusts, apologizing at the same time. Gumpa only gagged slightly before pulling off and looking up at his omega. The omega was looking down at him, his eyes half-lidded and his chest heaving. 

“Come whenever you feel ready,” Gumpa told him. 

“In your mouth?” Black asked, sounding already fucked out.

Gumpa nodded and took him back into his mouth before resuming the bobbing and thrusting off his fingers. After a few thrusts, he found Black’s place that made him see stars. Black cried out at the feeling of Gumpa hitting and massaging his prostate. It didn’t take long until he felt that he was at the edge.

“I’m going to cum,” Black warned and then moaned when Gumpa swallowed. His cock spurt out long strings of cum down Gumpa’s throat, the alpha continuing his massaging on Black’s prostate and swallowing, Black’s walls clenching down on his fingers. The omega’s hips bucked a few times before he started pulling away, overstimulation settling in. The alpha pulled off of his cock and pressed a kiss into one of Black’s thighs, his fingers still buried deep in Black’s body. 

“Fuck me,” Black panted. 

The alpha slowly took his fingers from Black’s body and watched thick globs of slick trailing out. He had gotten very wet from the alpha’s ministrations. 

“Are you sure you're ready?” Gumpa asked seriously.

Black nodded. 

“I’m not sure I can fit yet.”

“I can take it.”

Gumpa nodded but pushed three fingers based into Black’s body. Black grunted and watched the alpha’s movements. He was purposefully avoiding Black’s prostate. 

“Take four and then we’ll move on,” Gumpa said. He thrusted in and out for a long time before Black started pleading at him to add the fourth finger. His coconut and lime scent was so intense, that they both felt like they were choking on it. Slick was constantly dripping from his hole, smearing all over Gumpa’s hands and Black’s thighs. 

Finally, the alpha added the fourth finger and carefully stretched him before he resumed his movements. 

Black cursed and tossed his head back, eyes squeezed shut at the pleasure. 

“Are you ready?” Gumpa asked. 

Black nodded and Gumpa pressed one last kiss on the other man’s thigh before pulling out and grasping the back of the omega’s neck, dragging him into an intense and filthy kiss. After a few moments Gumpa pulled back before pressing a kiss on Black’s brow and he gently nudged the omega into laying on his back. Gumpa pulled away for a second, only to grab an alpha condom from nearby. Black spread his thighs and snatched the condom from Gumpa, ripping the package open with his teeth. He grasped Gumpa’s thick cock and rolled the condom on his alpha before settling on his back, his legs bracketing Gumpa’s hips. His heat had settled in. The alpha looked down at him, a tender expression on his face. 

Then he positioned his thick cock at Black’s hole, the omega’s eyes following the movement. 

“Look at me,” Gumpa said and the omega’s eyes snapped up. He felt a little shy under the alpha’s gaze. His inner omega was making him increasingly bashful. Gumpa slowly pressed the head in, watching Black’s face to see if there was any pain. Black let out a little sound that was like a mix of a moan and a purr. Gumpa paused, massaging the thighs of his omega before pressing a few more inches in. Black closed his eyes briefly before he grasped one of Gumpa’s wrists. Gumpa stopped moving immediately.

“Are you okay?” 

Black nodded and said, “Come closer.”

Gumpa nodded and took both of Black’s hands in his, intertwining their fingers. He slowly moved, Black’s hole swallowing more of his inches until his cock was entirely inside of him. Black groaned at the feeling and Gumpa took their intertwined hands and put them above Black’s body. The omega’s body was on complete display. The alpha loomed over his body and he dropped down and kissed him chastely. They kissed for a while until Black started feeling restless. Black pulled his head back. 

“Move, hia,” Black panted. His eyes were almost rolling in the back of his head at the fullness he felt. Gumpa had barely moved and he already felt like he was falling to pieces.

“Look at me.”

Black focused on Gumpa once more, looking into his eyes. The alpha leaned down to press a kiss on his cheek and then his lips. It was rather chaste for the situation but it was sweet. Any other time, Black might have felt something like butterflies but his inner omega was clawing at his insides, he wanted nothing more than the alpha to start moving. Gumpa pulled his head back a little to look into his eyes and started at a deep and steady pace. It wasn’t fast but he was not going slow either. Push and pull. Push and pull. Black could feel every inch inside of him, even the slight bulge at the base of Gumpa’s cock that was going to be his knot. Black looked down to where their bodies met and he almost moaned. He watched Gumpa’s thick cock pull out before pushing in again, slick coating his cock and some of it smearing on his thighs with the amount that Black was leaking. 

“Look at me,” Gumpa gritted out. Black looked back into the eyes of his alpha. He could tell the man was holding back, sweat starting on his brow and jaw clenching. Black took in his scent and realized how strong it was. Gumpa was entering his rut. Yet, he was still being careful. Gumpa truly was the best alpha he had ever met. Sure, it was bare minimum behavior to not hurt your partner during ruts but a large part of the population who helped someone with a rut had faced some pain or slight violence because their alphas didn’t realize their strength or they lost control. But Gumpa had such a stronghold on himself. He held back his instincts to make sure that Black felt safe. (Although, Black knew if Gumpa wasn’t the man he was, he could still defend himself. It was just nice that he had someone who treated him well.)

“Harder, hia,” Black groaned. 

“You can go harder,” he repeated when Gumpa didn’t change his pace. 

“I don’t want to hurt you,” Gumpa said, his voice deep and strained.

“You won’t hurt me. I can take it,” Black said. He could feel himself releasing more and more slick with how aroused he was. He felt like he was being split open and yet he couldn’t bear to part with the thick cock that was taking shelter in his body. Gumpa’s hips slapped against Black’s skin, the slick making a lewd sound. The alpha changed his hip movements slightly and Black moaned. The alpha had found the little place in his body that made him see stars again. Gumpa pounded into the spot firmly and harder than he had been moving before. Black tossed his head back, his eyes rolling into the back of his head, steady moans being ripped from his throat. 

“Hia,” Black cried. His sensitive cock was rubbing against the ridges of Gumpa’s built abdomen. Gumpa leaned his body down further, his abdomen moving more firmly around Black’s cock, his face closer to the omega’s. Black couldn’t help himself, he used the little energy he had left to lift his head and lick into the alpha’s mouth. Gumpa kissed back the best as he could with his movements but it was quite messy, spit exchanging between them, some leaking down onto their chins. Black felt a bit gross from the spit but he was getting more and more out of it. His inner omega was making him blissed out and he hadn’t even been bitten yet. 

“I’m close,” Black said.

Gumpa let out a hum from deep in his chest, his inner alpha making himself known. 

“Bite me?” 

The alpha nodded and said, “After you cum, it will hurt less if I do it then.”

Then he released their intertwined hands and let Black lace his hands in his hair and then he squeezed Gumpa’s built shoulders, his legs squeezing at Gumpa’s hips and the alpha continued to fuck him in a nice rhythm. 

“Look at me,” Gumpa said and then he pressed a kiss between Black’s brow, both of their eyes open the entire time. The alpha then put his face into Black’s neck and started kissing the scent gland, searching for the right place to put his mark. Having Gumpa’s body so close meant more pressure on Black’s cock as it was stuck in between them. Black moaned and dug his nails into the alpha’s shoulders.

“Hia,” he cried again. He could feel the alpha’s teeth grazing over his skin, not biting yet.

“I love you,” the alpha said, for the first time ever.

With that Black’s cock started spurting clear pearls of cum between their bodies and Gumpa bit down.

Black gasped and his eyes rolled into the back of his head.

Black knew what it was like to have a bond with someone. He knew what a brotherly bond felt like and he knew what a pack bond felt like. But the bite tying him to Gumpa was almost indescribable. It was like he was feeling his own emotions but he was entirely aware of the other man’s too. His entire being was consumed with his heart and his soul and he could feel everything.

The omega clutched the alpha’s hair and pulled him back to look into his eyes. When he bit down the alpha had stilled inside of him, his legs were still wrapped around his waist though. Black was stunned as he felt the nervousness mixed with the pure happiness coming from him. But he looked like he was okay. How well had Gumpa been hiding his emotions? Had he felt intense things all the time and hid it? Black was relieved that he would be able to tell what the Alpha was feeling. He was relieved that Gumpa could share his large burden with someone.

“Keep going,” Black insisted. His voice conveyed how fucked out he was. 

Gumpa looked hesitant so Black leaned up and bit at his collarbone before laying back down.

“Keep going so I can mark you,” Black insisted. 

The alpha nodded and said, “I’ll try to cum quick so you don’t get too sensitive. If you want me to stop, just tell me.”

Black squeezed his thighs and Gumpa’s waist and pulled him down to be close to his face. Gumpa started to move again, pounding into Black’s body hard and quick. Black moaned and dug his nails in the alpha’s shoulder. Gumpa snapped his hips skillfully and groaned. Black could tell he was close to cumming when he started to get off the pace he had set. Black pulled him down to bury his face in the alpha’s neck. He kissed and sucked on the scent gland of his alpha.

“I’m going to knot,” Gumpa warned.   

Black nibbled on Gumpa’s earlobe before saying, “It’s okay. Go ahead.”

Soon after the alpha spilled into the condom, pressing the knot into the omega’s hole before it expanded too much. Black bit down on his scent gland, clutching the alpha’s shoulders in bliss. Gumpa rested his weight onto Black’s body, both of them panting before Black licked the bite. The alpha felt pure bliss, the connection strengthening. Their inner alpha and omega were overjoyed. They were finally mates. They would be tied together for the rest of time.

Black pressed one last kiss on the mark before brushing his lips on the alpha’s ear. 

“I love you, hia.”

________________

After the bite, time passed by very strangely. The heat and rut came in waves. They would spend time having sex or lazing around in the nest, cuddling, and kissing. Sometimes saying “I love you,” quietly. Gumpa rubbed Black’s stomach a lot and cuddled him. Black pressed kisses into the alpha’s throat and he would purr into his ear. A few times they drank or ate from the pile of packaged snacks and drinks they had put just outside of the nest when Black was in preheat. Black didn’t have much of an appetite but Gumpa made him take bites of food so he wasn’t starving. He was good at that.

Gumpa was good at a lot of things. 

Sometimes during heats, Black wanted to be coddled. He wanted someone to hold him close and tell him that everything would be fine. Gumpa was great at that. He knew exactly what Black needed before Black did sometimes. He would put his hand on the back of Black’s neck, press kisses into his skin, and would gently rock his hips at a steady and soothing pace. 

But Black also had moments where the fever burned and he needed to be fucked hard or else he was going to lose his mind. Gumpa was good in those moments too. He was good at gripping his hips and pushing into him hard and rapidly. He was good at holding him up and fucking him hard as Black held on tightly or pushed back to meet his thrusts on his hands and knees, fingernails sometimes digging into Gumpa’s arms or dragging down his back. They mated in every position imaginable. 

However, there were times he couldn’t stand the pace controlled by the alpha. He just wanted to rip Gumpa to pieces by putting marks all over him. Gumpa was good in those moments too. He would let Black bounce in his lap, teeth at his neck, nipping and sucking marks. Gumpa would just hold his hips and tilt his head back. It was a definite sign of trust that he let his throat be vulnerable.

Gumpa had never felt so connected to someone before. Biting Pack bites were special and wonderful and it did create a connection. But mating bites… they created something that felt like second nature. It was like sliding a key into a perfect lock in his soul. His inner alpha was so pleased and satisfied that the omega under him had allowed him the honor of biting and the honor of knotting. He showed his throat and let him latch into his skin, tying them together for life. Then Black had done the same as Gumpa pressed his knot deep into Black’s wall. His mark throbbed as they panted in each other’s arms, the connection foraging and strengthening with each breath. Gumpa knew for sure at that moment, that their heartbeats were the same.

After the biting, the heat and rut came and went. There were waves where Black was a bit whiny and demanding and Gumpa wanted nothing more than to soothe him. He let his inner alpha guide him into kissing the healing mark, whispering into his ear, and holding him as close as possible to his body. 

There were some waves in which Black was even more demanding. He wanted Gumpa to use him as much as possible. He wanted him to break him in half and put him back together with rough hands, moving Black into whatever position he wanted to do. Gumpa obliged Black’s wishes. Although he always made sure Black wasn’t uncomfortable and that he wasn’t hurting him. The only “damage” he did to Black was bruises and marks. Black did seem to like the bruises on his hips and the bruises littered down his chest. In between the waves of their mating cycles, Black would sometimes touch the bruises carefully and trace the marks. Gumpa once asked if it was too much but Black shook his head silently and almost looked bashfully at the dark marks. 

Other times Black was restless and needed to be in control. He would bite Gumpa’s skin harder and wrestle to be on top. But Gumpa didn’t fight back much. He liked that Black wasn’t afraid to express his wants or needs. He would just lay down and talk Black through it, spewing praises and watching the omega’s skin flush. Sometimes he would run his hands up and down the powerful thighs that were slapping against his lap. 

But Black’s inner omega didn’t always enjoy Gumpa touching so much. He would take ahold of the alpha’s hands and expected him to keep them where he placed them. Gumpa was more than happy to watch his omega take what he needed from him. He would just tilt his head back and let the omega bite his skin, leaving his mark. After their heat, everyone who saw either of them could tell they belonged to someone. 

Gumpa’s inner alpha kept humming at the feeling of his omega claiming him possessively. It was interesting to the alpha that he was okay with it. In the past, his inner alpha had been uncomfortable with any past partners getting close to his neck like that. It was too intimate. It was too vulnerable. But he knew his omega was not going to hurt him. 

Black and Gumpa had been through a lot together. He had seen the omega exhausted from training, furious, sick, in heat, and a whole range of emotions caused by events that took place. Black had also seen him worried, frustrated, sick, in rut, and everything else. His inner alpha gave himself wholly to the omega. He knew he was never going to regret it. Black loved with a ferocity that many overlooked. But Gumpa knew better. He could feel in his heart that the omega cared for him. Loved him. 

They spent days in their nest, only leaving for the bathroom.

Eventually, their heat and rut fever broke.

Black was resting on Gumpa’s chest, his head pressed over Gumpa’s heart, listening to the beating. He knew their hearts were beating the same. Gumpa had one hand on the back of Black’s neck and the other rubbing circles on his clammy shoulder. Both of them definitely needed a shower but they weren’t ready to get up yet and take apart their nest. 

“Black?”

The omega hummed. 

“I love you.”

“I know, hia…I love you too.”

Then he moved to press a soft kiss on the alpha’s lips before he rested his head on the alpha’s heart again, drifting into sleep. The last thing he heard was a soft, “I’ll love you forever.”
