29. Ben

BEN

I ripped it off me with a snarl. Everything that made me Ben was pushed to a tiny, insignificant corner of my mind as my alpha rose to the forefront. Taking over with a vengeance, hellbent on bringing this bratty omega to heel. Mount and fuck her until she was dripping with my cum.

Hazel shut the door behind her. I tore it open so hard I was surprised it was still on its hinges. I was a hound for her scent and slick. So fucking sweet and so fucking mine, trailed by a little giggle and the shuffle of feet.

I growled when I caught sight of her in the living room. No sense of self-preservation as she stood there. Hands on her hips and wearing nothing but a taunting smile. The couch was between us, keeping me from her.

She feinted left before running right. It didn't matter. I leapt over the couch and wrapped my arm around her waist. Used the momentum to throw her onto the cushions, push her legs wide open and feast on her pussy.

"Oh my god."

"So fucking good." My voice rumbled against her inner thigh as she bucked against me. I went in for another hot, long lick and she whimpered. "So sweet. So perfect."

Mine. Mine mine mine.

Hazel's hands gripped my hair. Tighter and tighter as she squirmed and writhed beneath me. Tart and sweet, designed to be earned. Cracking open the hard, protective shell and drinking down the nectar within.

My tongue lavished her clit in steady, light strokes. The taste and scent of her told me everything. I knew what she needed, what she craved. Her pheromones were heat-seeking missiles in my brain, calling on every biological impulse within me. Honing and conditioning me to her every desire.

"Yes. Fuck. Right there."

She drenched my chin and neck as she came, her entrance tightening and fluttering around nothing. I admired her, splayed out and glistening.

Give her your knot.

"Mm, that was very nice, alpha," Hazel sighed with a contented smile.

It quickly turned devious as she rolled out from under me.

I swiped at her and missed.

So fast, when did she get so fucking fast?

She raced towards the kitchen. Instead of following, I took the long way around, cutting her off. She squeaked when she saw me appear in the doorway, skidding to a stop before heading in the opposite direction.

She had a moment of indecision in the hallway that cost her.

My arm caught her waist and she lost her balance, stumbling over the edge of the rug. I was on top of her in seconds, pinning her on her back.

"You are mine."

I cuffed both arms above her head, pushed her legs open with my knee and slammed my cock home in one smooth thrust. Hazel cried out at the sudden intrusion before it melted into a moan.

"Such a good omega," I crooned, licking the spot just beneath her ear where her scent perfumed the strongest. "Taking your alpha so well."

Nails scraped down my bare back. "God, you feel huge," she whimpered. "Fuck me. Please."

Hearing her beg made my alpha surge within me, the last of my control in tatters. I claimed her lips with a bruising kiss before licking back down her jaw, finding the vulnerable column of her neck. Left my scent there — one side, then the other — before my mouth trailed down to the soft swells of her breasts. My pelvis slapped against hers as the wet clinging sound of her pussy taking me over and over filled the air. Her body curved eagerly, seeking more of me and I sucked her nipple into my mouth, flicking the budded tip with my tongue.

Her slick gushed down over my knot as she came with a shudder, her whole body going pliant. I pulled back, staring down at where we were joined. Withdrew from her and watched my shaft reappear, shiny with her arousal.

Hazel gasped as I flipped her onto her front. Her ass lifted but I held her down, pressing my cock back inside her. Ran my nose through her hair, and along her shoulder, scenting her.

Your omega needs more.

I spread her with one hand and let a slow glob of spit fall onto the tiny, puckered hole between her cheeks.

"Oh, fuck, Ben."

I began to massage her back entrance with my thumb as I fucked her into the floor. Stretching her, dipping in further and further each time. Soon I was thrusting in tandem, my cock and thumb sliding in and out of both her holes without any resistance. I could feel her yield to me, her omega delirious from the twin sensations running rampant through her body. My possessiveness rose to a fever pitch, needing to mark her with my cum and feel her come again, squeezing my knot this time.

"I'm going to take care of you," I promised her. "Come again for me, omega."

My thrusts quickened as I felt her start to tighten around me.

"God, it's too much, I—"

"You can," I purred. She was moaning, shaking uncontrollably as more slick flooded her cunt. "That's it. Such a good girl for me."

When her third orgasm ripped through her, I drove my knot deep.

Mine.

The feel of her inner walls, gripping, squeezing, pulling me in was like nothing else. I knew I would be chasing this feeling for the rest of my life. Her pleasure and mine, wrapped up in one another over and over. My cock exploded, all my coiled tension let loose in a series of shuddering throbs inside her.

Reality came rushing back to me the very instant I stopped coming.

"Holy fuck, Hazel, why did you let me knot you on the floor?"

Her words were slurred. "I don't even care, Ben. That was so fucking good." Hazel crossed her arms beneath her head like a makeshift pillow and settled atop it, a dreamy smile on her face. I swore profusely, wishing I could do more to make her comfortable.

I guess I was going to find out how long it took my knot to go down.

It was very difficult to say goodbye to Hazel that morning. My alpha was extremely confused as to why I wasn't dragging her back to my bedroom to rut and knot her all day long.

"Because you are also a civilised human man," I said into my bathroom mirror.

Who was talking to himself.

I brushed my teeth with an aggression my dentist would baulk at, knocked out an hour long session at the gym until I felt less savage and got ready for work. I was on my way out of my apartment building when I spotted a familiar mop of blonde hair in front of 101 Riverside.

"Aleks! Do we live across from each other?" I pointed between our buildings with my thumb. I hadn't seen the beta in a while — Patty had mentioned in passing he was getting experience in another ward.

He waved as I jogged over. "Hey Ben! Sort of. I've been dealing with some family stuff and a friend was nice enough to let me crash."

At least, that's what I thought he said. Because once I got closer, every cell in my body honed in on one inescapable fact.

He is covered in your omega's scent.

I tensed, certain my alpha was about to order me to rip him to pieces.

But instead he was urging me to hug him, clap him on the back or something so the beta would know he was pack. No wonder I'd connected with him at the hospital despite all the other nursing students blending into one frightened blur.

"Ben. You ok, man? You've been frozen for a while and it's freaking me out."

We both looked over when the doors behind him swung open.

"Aleks, you forgot your—"

Hazel came to an abrupt stop, her mouth falling open and a hospital ID card in her outstretched hand.

"...pass." Her eyes darted between us. "You guys know each other?" Before I could reply, she looked down at Aleks' photo ID and smacked her forehead. "You work in the same hospital," she deduced. "Small fucking world."

Aleks looked at me in confusion. Realisation dawned on his face, then fear. He slowly backed away from me. "Oh fuck. She's your scent match, isn't she? It's cool, Ben, we're just friends. No need to…cave my skull in or anything."

I would set him straight later. His alarm was so unnecessary when we were going to be packmates. I turned to Hazel first. "I like him. I assume you do too?" I asked calmly.

"What?"

I looked at Aleks and he actually flinched. "Have you met the other one?"

"The other one?"

"The other alpha." Goodness I felt like I was on another planet speaking a different language.

"Remy?"

"That's it. Remy, yes. Have you met him?"

"Yes? He's, um, a really good guy."

"Makes sense, she has excellent taste."

Hazel stamped her foot crossly. "Can you stop talking about me like I'm not here?"

I leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek. Couldn't resist a scent mark for good measure. "Sorry, sweetness. I'll see you tonight?" I gave her my most charming smile to really ensure she would be unable to resist. Her jaw was doing some sort of grinding motion that must have been painful. "No?" I prompted.

"Yes," she hissed, slapping Aleks' ID into his hand (it fell to the ground and he scrambled to pick it up) before flouncing back inside.

"Come on, Aleks, want a lift?" I said, turning to leave. My alpha was very pleased things were starting to come together because he really was feeling quite a bit lonely in this new city.

"A lift?"

Why wasn't he following me? "Yeah. To work," I said, baffled before walking off again.

Aleks stumbled as he tried to keep up with me. "Why aren't you more mad at me? I'm living with your scent matched omega and you're just…you're just…"

I sighed and stopped. He crashed into me with a yelp. "You know how packs work, right?" I told him.

His eyes were as big as saucers. "You think we're a pack?" he croaked.

"Well, not right now." Obviously, since he was still freaking out. "But eventually…sure."

"Have you always been crazy?"

I didn't take offence to this. He'll understand in time, my alpha assured me. He was giddy, so fucking giddy with renewed purpose. "She's building her pack, Aleks," I told him seriously. "She might not realise it, or want to admit it. But that's what she's doing. Be gentle with her, ok? She's going to be our world."

I checked the time. Damn, we were going to be late.
