28. Ben

BEN

The fronds of the coconut trees overhead filtered the amber sunlight, casting speckled shadows on the sand. The sea breeze carried the scent of elderflower and I let out a contented sigh, rolling onto my back.

Maybe I'd get a fresh coconut from the market later.

A warm hand spread sunscreen — coconut scented, of course — down my bare chest. It seemed to take a meandering route, lightly caressing the contours of my stomach. Found the waistband of my swim shorts and ran a finger along it, like it was debating whether to dip beneath and discover just how hard my—

My eyes popped open.

"Hazel." I grabbed her wrist. She squeaked, but bit her lip in a way that did nothing to alleviate the persistent throb in my cock. I deliberately moved her hand lower and lower until her breaths were coming out in small pants and her fingers had curled around my hard length.

"Something you need?" I murmured.

"Take your clothes off this time." She gently explored me, caressing me from base to tip through my pants. "I want to feel you."

The next moment, I had her pinned down on my bed, my cock pressing into her butt. I couldn't remember if she had gone to sleep with pants on but she sure as fuck didn't have any on now. It was only fair that I didn't either. She moaned, arching desperately as she felt the heat of me bare along her skin.

"God, I want it," she panted.

Rut. Knot. Claim.

I shook my head to clear the creeping haze at the edge of my vision. Couldn't lose control. Still waiting on results. Pathology taking for-fucking-ever. I ripped her shirt off over her head and ran my hands down her back.

"No," I said firmly.

I massaged her hips softly, my fingers slowly inching their way beneath her with each pass. Closer and closer to where she needed me. I could see her trying to present, squirming and twisting, attempting to manipulate my touch towards her core.

"Please, Ben."

Her whimpers were absolute kryptonite for my alpha. Her scent bloomed between us. Bright. Playful. Like the sly suggestion to start sliding ice cubes over hot skin after one too many fruity, potent concoctions.

I finally slid one hand fully underneath her, tugging her panties to the side roughly. She gasped at the first touch of my fingers on her pussy. Needy, hot and soaked. I gently parted her, exploring her tight entrance before dragging her slick up to her swollen clit.

"Y-you have to fuck me with your fingers as well," she begged, her hips rolling against my hand.

That did sound good. But also…

"I don't have to do anything except tease this needy little cunt of yours for as long as I want to," I told her. I let a little bit more of my weight sink down on top of her, right as I began circling her clit and kissing her neck. "Do you like this? Being trapped underneath your alpha while I play with your pretty pussy?"

Hazel opened her legs wider for me. "I love it and hate it," she breathed.

"What do you hate about it?"

"That I can't come when I want to."

I rewarded her honesty by sliding a finger inside her and her hips bucked against me, the movement grinding against my cock. "And what do you love?" I prompted.

"Knowing I'm completely at your mercy."

Fuck it all to hell.

Teasing went out the window. If she was at my mercy, then I was just as much at hers, because all I wanted was to see her fall apart for me. I fucked her with my fingers until she came screaming and pulsing around me, the air thick with sweet smell of her release.

It wasn't enough. "Your results are clear, right?" I asked her urgently.

"W-what? Yes?"

"Good, so I can do this."

Hazel turned her head just in time to see me sucking her slick off my fingers. Holy fuck. Nothing in my life had ever tasted this good.Lime and coconut tied together with the bloom of elderflower.The combination was so undeniably her — her sharp tongue, velvet sensuality and the softness she hid. It made me mindless, and it only took a few strokes of my cock in my fist before I was coming all over her back.

I was grateful I had the day off so I could take the time to lie lazily in bed with her after I'd cleaned both of us up. Legs tangled as we scrolled on our phones together.

My phone vibrated with an incoming text and I scoffed when I saw that it was from my mum.

"What's wrong?" Hazel peered over.

I turned my screen towards her so Hazel could read it.

"When are you coming home? The fridge is making a funny noise and I need you to—" Hazel stopped reciting, and shook her head. "Goodness, just straight into making demands, isn't she?"

I swiped the message away. "I have yet to receive a message that didn't also ask me to do something for them."

"Apologies?"

I looked at her like she was crazy and she laughed.

"Yeah, they don't really know how to do that, do they?" She leaned in to me as she showed me her phone. "I mainly get religious shaming."

My eyes widened as she scrolled up through pages of one-sided texts, most of which were Bible scriptures. "Bloody hell." I was dying to know what had led to Hazel's broken down relationship with her parents but I wasn't going to press before she was ready to tell me. "You haven't got them blocked?"

She shot me a knowing look. "Have you?"

I grimaced. "No. It's like I can't bring myself to put the final nail in the coffin, you know?"

"Yep. There's just the right amount of guilt remaining to stop you from doing so," Hazel sighed, flopping back onto my pillows.

"But not enough to ignore them, right?" I grinned.

A mortified laugh slipped before Hazel quickly clapped her hand over her mouth. "God, that's so fucked up. But it"s true. I'm a terrible daughter."

"I'm a terrible son."

"Good, we can wallow in this terrible, disgraceful limbo forever then."

My hands found her hips and I pulled her close. "That's fine by me," I said before I kissed her.

The ping of my email notification interrupted us. My blood pounded through my body, a rushing sound filling my ears as I saw what it was for.

"My results," I grunted, opening it so she could see that everything had come back negative. My vision swam before me.

All I could think about was how my omega was lying in my bed, half naked in my shirt and I'd just been given the green light to fuck her raw.

I could barely breathe as I watched Hazel scan my phone before tossing it to one side.

"Your alpha needs to come out and play, doesn't he?" she murmured, stroking my face with her fingers. "He's been held back a long time."

I was so close to rut it was dangerous. If she didn't want this, she had only a few seconds to get the fuck out.

But she sure as hell shouldn't run when she did it.

Chase. Subdue. Fuck.

Hazel scooted back slowly towards the edge of the bed and stood up. My eyes tracked her as I tried to keep my control.

If she says no, you have to let her go.

"If you catch me…" Hazel undressed in one quick movement, revealing her perfect tits and bare pussy. "You can fuck me."

She threw my shirt into my face and ran.
