14. SAVIN

SAVIN

I’ve been in and out of sleep, now gorging myself on mint blueberry gelato while Macon returns my uneaten dinner to the kitchen. I’m hot and irritable but at least I have my dessert, my one comfort food with flavors that are perfectly blended by our chef. It started as a joke but I fell in love with the gelato and have been eating it ever since.

Macon… is not a fan.

“Thought you said no food in the nest,” Macon chuckles as I swallow another spoonful. He climbs into my nest, after turning down the thermostat, and then pulls me into his lap. A gush of cold air explodes from the vent beside the nest and I sigh with relief. “Your appetite is back? Or did you just need a little comfort food?” My Alpha understands me like no one else. His hand falls to my bare stomach, the heat from his hand uncomfortable. I squirm in his hold and then sigh when he removes it.

“Sorry, I’m really hot right now,” I mumble. I want to snuggle up to my Alpha. I want him to fuck me even more but I need a moment. The headache is gone and I don’t feel like my body is on fire, my hole still slick and wanting. No doubt Macon can smell my need, my perfume thick and heavy throughout the room. Unfortunately, if I’m not ready, I might end up passing out from the stress rather than finding it pleasurable.

“How are you feeling? No, Savin, I know you hate that question but I need to know.”

“Better.” I scoop another bit of gelato into my mouth, some of it dribbling down my chin. Macon’s lips are there in the next second as he cleans me up, my back bowing in response and slick slipping between my asscheeks and coating the crotch of my boxers. Goddess, that’s so fucking inconvenient. I shudder beneath his touch, too hot for it and yet needing him closer.

Playfully, I take my bowl and tip it onto my chest, letting the melted cream tumble down my bare torso. Then I meet my Alpha’s gaze, daring him to do something about it. “Doing that during your heat is dangerous, baby.” His voice betrays his words, desire evident as his cock thickens against my ass. The thin fabric separating us is doing nothing to temper my need for my Alpha.

Pushing through my discomfort, I decide to play. “I’m all dirty. Maybe I should call the maid.” Macon growls at the idea, grabbing the bowl from me and setting it at the edge of the nest. In the next moment, I’m flat out on the pillows and blankets, my Alpha’s fingers wrapped around my wrists and pinning them above my head.

“Don’t move, baby. I can clean you up just fine. You need me to stop, you let me know.” His gaze softens for a moment as his grip leaves my wrist. “Don’t move.” It’s not hard to obey, focusing only on his touch and the cold cream coating the front of my body. His lips descend to my chest as he scoots downward, his hands reaching for the item he brought earlier. When I hear clanking, I realize that he came prepared. “Wasn’t sure what you’d need,” Macon whispers as his tongue swirls around my nipple and then he tugs it between his teeth. “Sometimes you run hot. Other times you run cold. I can work with either one.”

I hum in appreciation. I’m not sure how I got so lucky with this Alpha. The added sensation of ice to the AC working on overdrive will give me the relief I need to enjoy these moments. The pain may not stay away but for the moment I can focus on my Omega’s needs and not my failing body. He continues to kiss, lick, and nip down my chest until only the sticky residue of gelato is left. And then I feel it—the sharp bitter cold rubbing across my nipple. My back arches as a moan filters from my lips, my body responding to my heat in full force.

“Alpha,” I whine. Need courses through my veins and for a moment, the pain is gone. I just hope it’s gone long enough for my Alpha to knot me.

“I got you baby. What are you up for?” His brown eyes search mine, even as he continues to run the ice across my nipple, adding another so my chest feels like it’s frozen and on fire at the same time. “Savin, I need your words, baby. We are too close to your heat for any of our usual play.”

“Just fuck me. Please.”

“You can be so sweet when you try, baby.” He chuckles and then his tone grows serious. “How’s the temperature?” He grabs another piece of ice and begins dragging it down my chest. I shiver from the fierce look in his eyes knowing that if I ask him to fuck me in an ice bath, he would. He’s the most selfless man I know.

“The air—ungh—is good. Keep doing that, I’m going to come.”

“And you’d deserve it.” The ice disappears and his lips return to clean up the water dribbling down my skin. Macon works quickly as he strips me of my boxers, doing the same for himself until we’re facing each other again, my Alpha hovering over me. His cock notches at my hole, slick making the first few inches pushing inside more than pleasurable. “Suck me in, baby. There you go. Good boy.” He leans down to steal a kiss, thrusting his tongue into my mouth as he continues to push his cock inside of me.

By the time I feel his knot fluttering against my hole, I’m wriggling for release. “Knot, knot, knot,” I start chanting. I’m not very excited about this part of my heat either, the flares of insatiable need spreading through my limbs. Macon never judges me for it as I lose my head, clawing at his arms for relief.

“I’ve got you, baby. I’ve got you.” And then he slips out before sinking back in, Macon swallowing the sounds that tear from my throat. I cling to him as he takes me apart, pleading for release until his knot is swelling inside of my ass, locking us together. I slide my hand between us, wrapping my fingers around my cock, and start pumping wildly, spraying all over my hand and our stomachs seconds later.

Macon is still rocking against my ass, concentration etched into the lines of his forehead. I feel it then, the warm release of my Alpha as his movements stutter. Rope after rope of cum fills me up as he continues to rut against my ass, growling through his release as if to yell to the world that I am his. The heat from his skin borders on unbearable but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Sweat glistens on my Alpha’s chest as he maneuvers us until we’re lying on our sides, one of my legs thrown over his hip. He presses his lips to my forehead, gathering me against his chest and I snuggle into his hold, drinking in his scent. His knot tugs against my ass, sending a pleasurable shiver throughout my body before I clench down.

“I will absolutely fuck you again, Savin, but your eyelids are already drooping. Rest. I’ll still be here when you wake and then we’ll see about me fucking you again.” He shoots me a boyish grin, kisses trailing down my head until he meets my lips. I raise my head to meet them before I curl back into his chest, letting sleep overtake me.
