Twenty-Two

ELLA

" H ey, are you okay?" Lucas asked, catching me as I fell into him. Somehow he made it back into my room, just where he told me that he would be when I made it back to the academy. I wondered now how he got inside so easily, especially now when I knew that it wasn't that no one was catching him.

More than a few people were watching us. But at least here, in this room hopefully, we were safe. Alone.

For now.

I shook my head. "No."

"Sh. It's okay. What can I do?" Lucas said. "It was bad, wasn't it?"

I felt… so defeated. "Nothing, we can do nothing."

"I don't believe that."

"He's going to take everything," I said.

"No," Lucas repeated, rubbing his hands over me as we held onto one another.

I wouldn't–no, I couldn't go to Benjamin and give him everything I was.

I would live a life of solitary confinement and pain and sadness under Ben.

But I would not let him have me.

Not ever.

Because Lucas was right. Omegas deserve to have their choice in their life. All of them.

And I was at least going to get one. "Lucas."

"Yes?"

"I… I need you," I said.

"I'm right here." He squeezed me tighter as if to prove it, but that wasn't what I was talking about. No, I needed him in a way I never had needed anyone before. Wanted sure, but this was different.

Maybe I was hormonal and alone and afraid, but after twenty-some years of my life, I never felt more calm standing in front of an alpha and saying the words that were about to come out of my mouth. Because at last, I could say them.

I was an omega.

I was standing in front of my scent match of all people. Of all alphas.

And I wanted him to have all of me. I wanted all of him. Because I refused whether it was in heat or not for Benjamin Davinson to have one more piece of me.

"No," I said, trying to form the right words. "I really need you."

"Are you okay? Are you having a heat flash?" Yep he knew everything now, didn't he? Nothing like a little omega-in-trouble scenario to really bring out the alpha and me to completely dive into the omega I was.

I shook my head. Oddly enough, I wasn't having a heat flash. At least, no more than I normally was around him and his scent that seeped into my pores like the best drug ever. It sure beat out suppressants, that was for sure.

I didn't feel meek right now or submissive as an omega as he looked over me and had his hands on me, willing to do just about anything. I could tell from the expression on his face of complete rapture with me. Tears, mess I was, and all.

I felt powerful.

"I want you," I said again, this time with more confidence.

I looked directly into his striking eyes. I didn't look away. I didn't challenge him, but I let myself be bare in my desire and the way that I couldn't stop thinking about his hands on my waist, slipping down over my hips right now.

How did hands feel so good?

"I want you to be with me right now. I want you to be my first," I told him sincerely.

"Your first." His lip quirked. "You mean that?"

"More than anything right now, Lucas. I want you. I need to be good and have good. I want good ." And he was so so good. "It's my choice."

He seemed to understand immediately with a soft look on his face.

"But no…" He swallowed as if he couldn't even say the action without running the tip of his tongue over his teeth.

"No biting," I said, even though my omega nearly revolted when I did. "No bonding. We can't. I won't… I won't risk you like that."

"Want if I wanted to be risked?"

I shook my head.

"Okay," he took a deep breath as he controlled himself. He swiped back a strand of hair away from my face and looked me over, seeing exactly how serious I was. And how much I wanted to say, yes, bite me. Take me. I'm yours. And not being able to wasn't the best feeling. It might've even been one of the worst, which was saying something. "Okay."

"Okay," I repeated the word to him as he took another step into me, dipping his head until his forehead gently came into contact with mine. I peered up at him through my lashes, not wanting to take my gaze away from his.

And then we were back to kissing. This time, once we started, it was like neither one of us could stop. We couldn't stop kissing. We couldn't stop touching. My body roared in delight as it melted further into Lucas, begging for more.

"Please. Please. I need to see you."

"You have me," Lucas said immediately, catching me in his arms and sucking a deep lung full of my scent from where his nose tucked into my neck.

I didn't want him to let go.

"I won't."

I must've said so aloud. "You mean that?"

"No matter what it takes."

Holding onto him, I brought my lips down on his. He was startled, pulling back, but it only took one word from me. "Please, I need you."

And he didn't hesitate as we moved towards the beg and I gripped the edge of his shirt, pulling it overhead.

We collapsed onto my small bed, filled with my pillows and blankets.

A part of me had kept my bed so pristinely since I arrived which was odd, though Lidya insisted it was a very normal, average thing for an omega to want to keep her nest, however, she could have it, hers.

There was an unsaid rule as well that neither of us went toward the other's bed unless invited.

But now, I invited Lucas into mine willingly, wanting his maple sugar scent to get all over it and all over me as I started to burn hotter for him.

He reached for my top, about to help me get out of it. "This okay?"

"Yes, please."

He asked the same for each article of clothing until we were both completely bare before one another. I kissed down his neck and over his collarbones I so desperately wanted to bite. I listened to the way he sighed and his breath hitched as I let my instincts take over and taste him every way I wanted to.

And he tasted me right back with a growl that caused slick to gush between my legs for him.

"God, you're so beautiful," he commented at the sight, the scent.

My breath hitched as he effortlessly adjusted his position over top of me once we each had our fill of exploring the other's bodies. His mouth descended onto mine in one more searing kiss.

I tasted myself on his lips, the sensation both erotic and deeply intimate.

His thumb continued to tease my sensitive nub, as he began to move his fingers inside me, setting a slow and steady rhythm. My hips responded involuntarily, matching his pace.

"Lucas," I moaned, my voice a husky plea for more.

"Shh," he soothed, his eyes never leaving mine. "Let me show you something."

He withdrew his fingers, and I felt a pang of disappointment. But it was short-lived as he replaced them with something else.

A smooth, thick cock.

My eyes widened in surprise, seeing him fully erect and ready for me. Lucas smirked, his eyes never leaving mine as he slowly guided himself to my entrance.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked, his voice a low growl, the tip of his cock just at my entrance.

I nodded, my breath hitched, and then he pushed forward. The sensation was incredible and overwhelming, and I moaned as he filled me up.

My head flung back into my pillows, hair spreading around the sides of my face.

"Lucas," I whimpered, my nails digging into his flesh as he began to move.

He responded to my cue, his hips moving in a slow, steady rhythm, driving himself deeper into me with each thrust. "Just like that," he said, so soft and calm as I took every inch of him.

I knew Lucas was an alpha, obviously, but I didn't think he'd be this much .

My eyes rolled back in pleasure as he filled me up, each movement sending a jolt of pleasure throughout my entire body.

"You're so tight," he groaned, his hands gripping my thigh.

A thick, warm length filled me, stretching me deliciously. I gasped, my eyes widening in surprise as my body adjusted to the sensation. Lucas's eyes were fixed on mine, his expression a mix of desire and adoration.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice a velvety purr.

"I... I think so," I panted, my breaths coming in short, sharp bursts. "It feels so... so full."

He smiled, a devilish glint in his eyes. "Just wait until I'm all snug inside you and move. And trust me, Omega, you'll beg for more."

"Will I?"

"Mhm," he smirked, cheeks red with desire and delight. His eyes sparkled at me and I was completely entranced. "You'll probably beg for my knot."

I'd beg for anything he would give me. I didn't doubt it, especially as he finally hit bottom. We were skin to skin and I could feel the hard swelling of his knot nudge up against me already. I had no idea how that was ever going to fit inside me.

Before I had even a chance to question it or panic, he began to move inside me. One slow and steady thrust shook me and I groaned loud.

"Sh," he chuckled. "You'll only inflate my ego."

I chuckled.

"And probably notify the entire residence hall of what we are doing."

We definitely did not want that. Nothing would pull me away from Lucas. Not now.

Not ever , I decided.

He thrust again, this time hard. That sent ripples of pleasure coursing through my body. I clung to him, my nails digging into his broad shoulders as I rode the wave of sensations.

Lucas's eyes never left mine.

I couldn't believe this was happening. For the first time, I might've started to fully understand what it meant to be an omega.

"Good so far?" He asked me, his voice heavy like a growl.

More. More. I wanted him to move again. To take me, to show me all the things he could do to my body.

"Please, alpha," I whispered. "Please give me more. I want you."

Lucas smiled, his lips parting from mine to reveal a wicked grin.

"You're so responsive, Ella." His fingers tightened on my thighs, squeezing gently as he began to pick up the pace. Each thrust was deeper, and more forceful, filling me with a sense of fullness that was both pleasurable and almost overwhelming.

The room was filled with the sounds of our bodies working together, our heavy breathing, and the wet slapping of skin on skin. My hands clutched at his broad shoulders, nails digging into his flesh as I arched up into him, meeting his thrusts with eagerness.

"Fuck," Lucas hissed, his eyes shimmering with lust and desire. "You're so fucking wet, Omega. So tight."

I moaned, my hips bucking wildly as he moved inside me. "Faster, alpha. Harder. Please, alpha." I begged him, trying to keep my voice down as I pleaded and whined.

He smirked, his eyes glinting with lust. "Beg for it, Omega. Make me beg for it."

I hesitated for a moment before gathering my courage. "Please, Alpha. I need you. Let me feel your knot. Make me feel alive."

Lucas's eyes darkened, and he gripped my hips tightly, thrusting into me with newfound resolve. I cried out, my body arching into his as he took me, his relentless rhythm unleashing a tide of pleasure that washed over me.

"Take it," he growled, his breath hot against my ear. "Take everything I have to give."

His words ignited a fire within me, and I met his thrusts eagerly, my hips moving in sync with his. We were a perfect symphony of flesh and desire, our bodies entwined in a dance that was as ancient as the very first omegas and alphas.

And then, as if falling into an abyss, I found myself spiraling deeper and deeper into a world of pleasure I had never known existed.

My senses were heightened, every touch, and every caress was magnified, and I found myself completely consumed by the intensity of the experience.

If this was sex with Lucas outside of a heat. I couldn't imagine what it was like, enraptured by the symphony of our sweet scents mingling together, when I was.

Lucas's eyes were locked onto mine, his gaze intense as he continued to move inside of me, driving me higher and higher with each stroke. His hands had left my thighs and were now gripping my hips tightly as if he couldn't bear to let me go.

"Look at you," he growled, his voice rough with desire. "You're so fucking beautiful. Just dripping for me. So perfect. So mine."

I whimpered, my breaths coming in short gasps as I clung to him, my nails digging into his flesh.

"Fuck me, Lucas. Please. More," I cried feeling dampness come to my eyes.

I didn't want this to be over.

I let out a cry as Lucas hit a spot deep inside me, sending waves of pleasure coursing through me. I felt like I was being consumed by the firestorm of desire, my heart pounding wildly against my chest.

"I'm going to come," I panted, my voice shaky with anticipation.

Lucas smirked, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "I want to see you come, Ella."

At his words, I arched my back, my body convulsing as the powerful orgasm washed over me. I moaned, my voice high-pitched and breathy, as my body shook with pleasure.

"That's it, Omega," Lucas growled, his voice husky with lust. "Take it all."

As I continued to shake with pleasure, Lucas began to move even faster, his thrusts growing harder and deeper. I could feel him hitting that spot again and again.

"Okay, my beautiful Omega," Lucas said, his voice a low growl. "Just hold on, I'm almost there."

His pace quickened, and I felt a surge of heat build up inside me. My heart raced, and my breaths came in short gasps. Lucas's eyes were locked on mine, his expression a mix of desire and adoration.

"I'm going to come," he grunted, his hips moving at a frenzied pace.

I cried out, my body bucking wildly as I felt his cock twitching inside me.

The tension built up, and then, suddenly, a wave of intense pleasure washed over me. My body arched up, and I screamed his name, my orgasmic release shaking me to my core.

"Oh, fuck!" Lucas roared, his thrusts becoming rapid and unrelenting. His cock twitched and throbbed inside me. Something bigger and harder nudged at my entrance, trying to push inside of me. His knot.

I gasped, my eyes widening in shock. "Lucas, wait-"

But he didn't. He thrust into me with all his might, his hips slamming into my soft flesh as his cock swelled and grated against my entrance. I cried out in pain and pleasure, each sensation merging until I couldn't tell them apart anymore.

"Oh, fuck, Ella," Lucas panted. "I'm sorry, I can't-"

Before he could finish, I cut him off, my voice hoarse with need. "Don't stop, Lucas. Please. I want you. All of you."

And with that, the beast inside him roared to life. He gripped my thighs, his fingers digging into my skin as he continued to rut into me deeper, his knot now fully engaged, biting into me to keep him exactly where he was.

Where he was meant to be.

The pain turned into a delicious ache. I arched my back, my nails digging into his back.

I cried out, surprising even myself with the pitch of my voice, as I felt the tightness of my entrance, stretched even further by the sudden intrusion. Lucas's eyes met mine, a mixture of lust and concern, as he started to slow down his pace.

"Ella, I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice strained. "I didn't mean to..."

But I cut him off, my voice surprisingly clear despite the overwhelming sensation coursing through me.

"No, Lucas, don't stop." I panted, my eyes locked with his. "I need you."

His knot rested firmly against me. His lips met mine in a searing kiss, our tongues dancing together in a frenzy of passion.

I could feel his knot pulsing. The pain at first was intense, but it was quickly replaced by a new sensation, one that left me feeling simultaneously full and yet still wanting more. I wasn't sure if I would ever not want more of him.

"Is that... Is that..." I trailed off, my voice barely audible except for the two of us to hear.

The intensity of the connection was almost overwhelming, but I wanted it more than anything.

Took the words right out of my mouth as we finally came to a stop. I could feel the air pulsing through our lungs. Both of us glanced down to the knot locking us together.

"Wow," I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper.

Lucas chuckled softly, his eyes never leaving mine. "I know," he said, a grin slowly spreading across his lips. "It's a pretty special feeling, isn't it?"

I nodded, my eyes fluttering closed for a moment.

"It's... indescribable." I took a deep breath, savoring the feeling of his knot still inside me. "I've never felt anything quite like this before."

He smirked, his hand gently caressing my hip. "I'm glad I was the first to show you."

I laughed softly, my face flushing with a mix of pleasure and embarrassment. "You are, aren't you?"

He nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "Always, Ella. Always. If you'll have me."

We stayed like that for a moment, locked together.

Lucas's eyes met mine, his expression a mix of relief and triumph. We were both panting, our bodies slick with sweat and desire. He pulled out slowly, and with one final thrust massaging my walls, his knot popped free.

I gasped, my limbs feeling weak. Relief washed over me. But it was quickly replaced by the awareness of just how full I had been.

My body trembled, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

"You okay?" His hand reached out to slide over my cheek, forcing me to look up at him again as I regained my composure.

I slowly nodded, my voice still hoarse from the intensity of our encounter. "Yeah, I'm good."

If anything, I wanted more. I wanted to go again and feel the way his cum could fill me up completely until I was swirling in it. Laying in it. Making it all that I could smell and all that I smelled like.

Woah. There was the omega talking again.

"Are you sure that you are okay?" Lucas asked, voice soft and concerned.

I nodded. "Just a little dizzy."

"It's okay. I got you."

Good. That was good. Because I started to feel tears well in my eyes after everything that happened.

My first time. I had never thought it would be like that. This was the first time a pristine omega of the academy was made to please her alpha. But I thought for a while it would've been with Cal or eventually Prestford pack.

Lucas wrapped his arms around me tightly, holding me close as he whispered into my ear, "Elena, I'm going to stay here with you. Together, we'll face whatever comes our way." His voice was full of reassurance and love, but also determination.

I couldn't help but lean into him, feeling not only the safety of his embrace but also the comfort of the connection we'd forged in that moment.

I knew this wasn't what I'd imagined for the first time, but maybe there was something powerful in the unpredictability of it all.

I held onto him tighter, though eventually it ended. We both were pulled away.

Lucas had to go and walk the mile and a half back to the alpha academy. I had to prepare for whatever came next, even if it felt like my heart was no longer beating in my chest but walking those miles with Lucas.

It thumped in my chest trying to make sense of this mess I was creating out of my life now.

Thump thump.

Lucas.

Thump thump.

Prestord Pack.

Thump thump.

It just kept moving forward whether I was ready or not.
