Ruby

T he room was lit with sunlight when I stretched and opened my eyes the following day. I stared at the sleeping alpha next to me in shock. Did I really just run away from my family to be with Jasper?

It felt like a dream, but now it all came crashing down as I studied his face lying next to me. We were cocooned together under the sheets, and I remembered throughout the night, I would gravitate towards him, and he would do the same if we drifted apart during sleep. As I lay on my side, I noticed how relaxed he looked. The stress lines on his forehead that were always there had disappeared.

He opened one eye and smiled, seeing me first thing in the morning. "Watching me sleep, babe?"

"You wish," I said, smiling and blushing at the same time.

"Liar," he said, grinning. "How do I look when I sleep?"

"Peaceful," I said. "I don't know how to describe it. You looked cute."

"Cute?" he guffawed. "Not many alphas would enjoy being called that. Hmph, I'm not a fuckin' bunny."

"Maybe you're my bunny," I said, teasing him, and he attacked me with a kiss on the lips. The kiss felt like a sealing of our bond and signified what we had last night was real and not just a dream.

When we pulled away, I was breathless and horny again while feeling his stiff cock press against my leg during the kiss. Before we could take it a step further, my stomach audibly growled.

"Fuck, we missed the free breakfast," he said, glancing at the clock behind me.

"It's okay," I said. His forehead creased with stress, and I ran my palm along his skin. "What's wrong, Jasper?"

"I want to take care of you, you know?"

"Aw, it's nothing to stress out about," I said cluelessly.

"I brought my savings so we could rent until I could get a job," he said. "I want to take you out to a restaurant, but…"

"Shh, stop," I said, kissing him on the lips. "I can just order food for us. Don't worry."

Before he could stop me, I went for my purse on the nightstand and pulled out the card my dad had given me. I had never had issues with money before, and I felt comfortable ordering breakfast for us.

"Baby, don't," he said while I tried to place the order online. I frowned when I kept seeing the red error message at the bottom of the card number, saying that it was invalid when I typed it in.

"What the fuck?" I exclaimed after typing in the number again and seeing a denial of payment. "My dad must have blocked the card."

Furious, I pulled out some cash from my wallet.

"It's okay, I don't need that," said Jasper, pulling on his black sweatpants and a shirt. "I'll buy something for us."

He left the room before I could reply or help him out with money. I was so annoyed at my dad for doing what he did. I furiously dug in my purse for my phone and whipped it out. There was one voicemail from my dad, Benjamin. I played the message on my phone:

"Ruby, I'm very disappointed in the choices that you are making. I canceled your credit card in the hopes that you'll return home. You're in danger, and as my daughter, I'm worried for you. Come back home immediately and stop this nonsense. We're worried for you, and your mother is asking about you."

I paced the room in my underwear while holding my phone, the message still ringing in my ear. I heard the worry in his tone, but it was probably all a ruse to get me home and properly mated off to a pack.

I was embarrassing my family by not being at home like a good omega.

It took a good minute for me to cool off, and I decided to get cleaned up before Jasper came back with breakfast. I went into the tiny bathroom and took a shower. I always loved to think in the shower and sort out my thoughts.

I thought about going to college in the human world, and excitement brimmed within me at the thought. Or even working somewhere as a barista for a while to support us. I didn't care what other omegas thought about alphas being the ones to support the family. I would be completely free if I chose Jasper as my alpha.

I didn't want to sit by letting Jasper do all the work by himself. I wanted to help, too, and make something of myself.

After showering, I wrapped myself in a towel and stared at the small mirror as I blow-dried my hair. The stress of my family was on my mind, and I tried to console myself by thinking about my wonderful night with Jasper.

"Babe?" I heard Jasper calling, and I turned off the blow dryer. "I have breakfast."

"Okay, one sec," I called.

"May I come in?"

"Sure."

He came up behind me and wrapped me in a hug while I dried my hair.

We both stared into the mirror. My face was red, and my long, wet hair lay damp at my shoulders. Jasper pressed a kiss to my shoulder, and my skin felt hot from where he kissed it. My pulse raced, and now I could only think of Jasper.

I turned my head to kiss him while the blowdryer was on, and I set it on the counter of the sink. Our kiss deepened, and I was breathless by the time he broke the kiss with a devilish grin.

He suddenly picked me up by the waist and put me on the counter. I squealed, trying to cover my thighs with the white towel that had unraveled around me. Jasper massaged my thighs and kissed them until I was dying for him to show me more attention in other ways.

"You're wet, and that's not just from the water," he observed, separating my thighs, and a squelching noise emitted from my pussy.

"I want your knot," I groaned when he kissed my inner thighs, and I felt the heat from his mouth so near my center.

"Not ‘till you're ready," he said. Then he kissed my belly. "But I wouldn't mind making you pregnant."

The thought of that turned me on, but at the same time, I knew we weren't ready to have babies yet. We were too young and without money or jobs.

"I wouldn't mind," I moaned when he finally kissed my pussy with a long smooch.

"You say that now," he mumbled, licking me harder. "Your clit is swollen for me, baby."

I leaned back on the counter, my hands nearly falling into the sink, so I held onto the edge tightly. Widening my legs for him, I felt the swirling pressure of his wide tongue roaming every inch of my pussy, around and around.

Jasper released my pussy and suddenly picked up the blow dryer.

"What are you doing?" I asked, barely able to speak from the pleasure. I was breathing hard and desperately widened my legs for him.

He turned the blowdryer on and squeezed my right breast in his other hand. Then he brought the blowdryer lower until the air was hitting my wet pussy.

I gasped at the sudden feeling.

The air was cold since he was pressing that setting to intensify the feeling. I gasped when he licked my pussy around and around again before hitting my pussy with the air again.

He did it repeatedly until the last time when he sucked my dry clit in his mouth. I moaned loudly as my body shattered from his touch.

"You're such a good omega," he praised, gently stroking the tip of my sensitive clit with a finger. I swooned under the smoldering look in his gaze. He whispered soft praises in my ear as he carried me to the bed. "I love eating you out. I can't get enough of your sweet taste."

"I never want you to stop," I whispered in his ear as he sat me on his lap and kissed me on the mouth. I tasted myself on his lips.

"Let me feed you breakfast now," he said, opening a brown paper bag and presenting bagels and cream to me. I smiled with satisfaction as my stomach rumbled.

That night, we decided to go to a bar since we didn't want to use up all our savings at an expensive restaurant. Spending time together was all we needed, and I didn't care where we went.

"I had no idea you could dance," said Jasper while I moved my hips against him on the dance floor. "It makes me want to knot you right here in front of all these humans."

"Then do it," I said, feeling hot and flushed. I had been feeling like that since last night, desperate to break my virginity. I attributed it to being around Jasper after we'd taken our relationship to the next level.

"It wouldn't be very proper, would it?" asked Jasper. "The human males already can't keep their eyes off you. Imagine if your pretty, pink pussy was on display in front of everyone? I'm a jealous alpha."

I blushed at his words.

"Gosh, Jasper," I said, pretending to fan myself. "You've got to keep your alpha hormones in check."

"Excuse me? You're the one grinding up on me right now," he said. The music pulsed around us, and I couldn't help but move to the beat of the music. For most of the evening, we were having a great time laughing and flirting with each other.

After a while, I was feeling even more feverish and very horny.

"I think I need something cold to drink," I said, feeling dizzy.

"I'll get something for you," said Jasper, immediately rushing to the bar to get me a cold drink.

Needing to use the bathroom, I walked towards where I thought it was. But the more I walked, the more I realized I was going the wrong way entirely. Soon, I found myself outside and looking up at the night sky.

Looking to my right, I realized I was at the back of the bar where the dumpster was.

"Oh god," a female's voice moaned from behind the dumpster, and I curiously peeked around to see what was going on.
