Chapter 17

Blaine

T o drink or not to drink? That was the question.

Blaine stared at the pouch of herbs, contemplating his life decisions. For the first time in his life, he was going to think about something deeply and not make a decision on a whim. The last time he'd done that, he'd gotten himself on a damn shuttle with a strange alpha and travelled half across the planet to live in – Blaine looked around at his beautiful surroundings – no. He couldn't bring himself to say something bad about the pack lands. They were gorgeous and he knew that if he hadn't taken a chance, he would have never seen something so beautiful. He wouldn't have ventured out of the capital. He wouldn't have learned that there was another way of living out there. He wouldn't have made another friend.

Okay, maybe he wasn't regretting his decision to follow Professor Douche. And maybe Professor Douche wasn't as douchy as Blaine had thought. And maybe he kind of liked him, even though they didn't get along half the time.

Fuck. Okay… okay… was he drinking the damn herb or not? Blaine silently groaned because he already knew the answer. He wanted to be with Wayden again. He wanted to feel the alpha's heat envelope him again. And he wanted his knot. Blaine grew wet just thinking about it.

So, what was the problem? Why was he hesitating? He'd never hesitated before. Never. If he wanted something he went for it. But with Wayden it wasn't that simple. There was so much at risk. Blaine touched is chest. His heart was even racing.

Fuck. It's just sex. What was the worst thing that could happen? They've already done it before. There was no turning back. Why was he hesitating?

"Blaine, what are you doing? We need to go." Owen came to stand with him.

"Is everyone ready?" Blaine asked, looking at the main hut. The omegas were inside getting food, warm water, cleaning supplies and everything else they thought Green might need.

"Yeah," Owen said, reaching for the pouch. "What's this?" He brought it to his nose and sniffed. "Oh…" he said, before returning it to Blaine. "He's really not your alpha. Wow. I thought you were lying. The way you two look at each other, I could have sworn you were together. But omegas only use that herb when they're sleeping with alphas who don't have any intention of claiming them."

Blaine stared at Owen, a weird feeling settling in his stomach. He'd said Wayden wasn't his alpha a million times, but hearing someone else say it…

"What's wrong?" Owen asked.

"Nothing," Blaine said, forcing a smile. He shoved the pouch into his pocket and took Owen's hand. "We should go."

"Yes, the others are already there," he said excitedly. "I can't wait to see the cub. Oh, I can't wait…"

"I know, I know." Blaine laughed. "You've been saying that ever since he was born."

Owen laughed right along with him. Hand in hand they made their way to Green's hut. A wailing cub greeted them as they entered.

"Close the door quickly. We're giving him a bath," someone shouted from within.

"Sorry… sorry…" Owen said, closing the door quickly. He dragged Blaine to where the other omegas were swooning over the crying cub.

Blaine cringed.

How could anyone like this? He shook his head and found somewhere to sit. He was there to observe and not judge. He might not like the idea of having a cub of his own, but that didn't mean it wasn't a beautiful thing. And watching the omegas gathered there, his omega instincts tingled. Blaine ignored them. That's why he hated living in the commune houses. Being surrounded by all that sweetness made his teeth ache.

"Blaine?" Owen called him closer.

"I can see from where I am," Blaine said.

"I think he scared of the cub," Owen blurted out. The others laughed, and the next thing Blaine knew there was a squirming cub in his arms. Blaine tried to return him, genuinely scared that he might drop him. But Owen only laughed at him. "You have to get used to it. What are you going to do when you have a cub of your own?"

"Nothing, because that will never happen. Ever," Blaine said just as the cub stopped squirming and stared up at him with unfocused eyes.

What are you staring at? Blaine silently asked the cub.

"Ohhh… I think he likes you," Owen swooned, making Blaine groan. "Okay, I'll take him. There's no help for you." Owen took the cub away from him. The other omegas gave him curious glances, as if he was a strange one.

Yeah, maybe he was strange.

Wayden

Wayden had never thought he would say this. Sleeping alone was a bitch. He missed Blaine's warm body next to his. Not that the room was cold or anything; the bed just felt empty and too big, which was crazy because he'd done a lot of his fieldwork using the shuttle. The bed had been fine. As a matter of fact, he preferred it to his bed back home.

Was he that used to sleeping with Blaine that he couldn't sleep alone anymore?

The answer was an emphatic "yes". He needed his omega.

Wayden's heart was in it, even if he didn't want it to be. He was tired of fighting it.

He stared at the door, wishing Blaine would walk in that very second. But he wasn't going to have his omega any time soon. Apparently, spending one day with Green wasn't enough. The omegas needed more days to help Green with his cub. Two days had gone by, and they were still in Green's hut. Wayden wondered how they all fit in there. When they'd first arrived, Escala had made it sound like there wasn't enough room for either him or Blaine in one of the huts. And because Wayden hadn't wanted to inconvenience anyone he hadn't asked. Now there was room in one damn hut for every damn omega in the pack, including Blaine.

Wayden knew he was being petty, but he was lonely, irritable and tired of being alone with his thoughts and his heart. Now, that he'd finally admitted his feelings to himself, Wayden was a little worried… because… he didn't know what Blaine would do. It had been more than forty-eight hours.

Yet Blaine hadn't said anything. Every time they saw each other in the main hut, the omega just waved and moved to be with the other omegas. Wayden couldn't very well pull Blaine aside and ask him what he'd decided to do. He didn't want to come off as pushy or desperate. But he was desperate… so desperate. His heart was at stake after all.

Worse of all he couldn't stop thinking about what Blaine had said. The damn words kept playing non-stop in Wayden's mind, messing with his body. He'd been hard for fucking two days.

Why had Blaine told him that he wanted his knot? Why? Wayden groaned.

He turned over onto his stomach. He hissed as his cock met the mattress. The friction was so good. Wayden's hips rocked automatically against the mattress, wanting more. He flipped onto his back, frustrated with himself. Blaine was torturing him on purpose, wasn't he?

Wayden wouldn't put it past that little devil to play games with him. Blaine liked to see him squirm. From the moment they'd met, Blaine had made it his mission to torment him. Blaine knew Wayden was waiting for him. Was he going to let the torture continue for another day?

Probably, Wayden answered his own question. Irritated by how much this was getting to him, he turned onto his side and stared at the moonlight spilling into the room. Wayden didn't know how long he'd stared at the window when he finally drifted off to sleep. A few seconds later, he jerked awake when he heard movement in the shuttle.

Wayden sat up. He'd left the door unlocked just in case Blaine decided to come to him. Wayden stared at the bedroom door waiting… impatiently. Blaine was here… finally.

Anticipation thrummed through his veins, as the door was pushed open. Blaine gasped, coming to a sudden stop.

"You scared me. I thought you'd be asleep," he said.

"I was," Wayden said, waiting for him to get closer. Blaine just stood there and stared.

The torture continued. Wayden balled his hands into fists and forced himself to wait. The omega had to come to him. He had to fucking wait. He was in the shuttle. That was progress.

"Are you guys done taking care of Green and his cub?" Wayden asked.

"No. The other omegas are still there."

"And you?"

"I… uhhh…" Blaine looked at the floor, shyly.

Wayden bit the inside of his mouth as a wave of desire hit his body. He loved it when Blaine looked bashful and unsure of himself. It made him look endearing and innocent. Now, that Wayden knew that Blaine had been innocent before he touched him, he knew that it wasn't an act.

"Come here," Wayden commanded. Blaine glared at him, before he moved towards the bed. He was going to fight him all the way. Wayden hid a smile.

"Take that off," Wayden said, pointing at the thick coat Blaine wore. The omega took it off without hesitation. He let it drop to the floor and reached for his shirt. Wayden's mouth went dry. He'd thought he was being tortured before; now he was sure he was fucking dying. His cock throbbed so hard he thought he was going to pass out. Every part of his body was tense, tight. He couldn't fucking breathe.

Blaine's pants followed. And Wayden couldn't sit still anymore. He pushed the covers off his body and reached for Blaine. Blaine moaned as he slid on top of Wayden. They tumbled down on the bed. Wayden rolled Blaine onto his back. Blaine's thighs went around his waist, gripping him tight as if he'd never let him go.

Fuck. He wanted to fucking claim him.

Wayden stared down at Blaine's neck, his teeth aching. He wished his fucking bite hadn't faded so he wouldn't feel this way. Wayden could barely see it now. The urge to claim Blaine was so strong that Wayden counted to ten like a green alpha to distract himself.

"What took you so long?" Wayden asked when that didn't work.

Blaine groaned out against his neck. "I don't want to talk right now. I want…"

The little fucker bit into the side of Wayden's neck, igniting a fire within him. Wayden growled, flipping Blaine onto his stomach.

"Oh shit," Blaine moaned into the mattress. He went to his knees, lifting his ass into the air. Wayden ran his fingers along his crease, loving how wet he was for him. They hadn't even done anything yet, and the omega was sopping wet for him. He was so perfect.

"Wayden…" Blaine moaned.

"Do you want my knot that much? You're so wet, baby. And I haven't even touched you yet," Wayden said as he sank a finger inside Blaine's hole. The omega hissed, arching his back wantonly. His smooth skin looked like porcelain in the moonlight. He looked so gorgeous, so beautiful, Wayden wanted to devour him. "How are you this beautiful?" Wayden asked in awe as he steadily fucked Blaine with one finger.

Blaine made an incoherent sound. He rocked his hips faster, following Wayden's hand. Wayden watched in fascination as his finger sank into wet heat. More liquid gushed out, coating his fingers. Blaine was so responsive to his every touch it was intoxicating.

"More?" Wayden asked, pulling out to sink two fingers into Blaine's tight hole, even though he wanted to give him his cock. Not yet, he told himself. He had to make sure the omega was ready for him. He wasn't in heat like before.

During heat an omega's body could take anything, since every part of the omega was focused on breeding. The chances of hurting an omega during heat were minimal. Out of heat, an omega could get seriously hurt if an alpha wasn't careful. Blaine could barely take Wayden's cock during his heat. Wayden had to be extra careful. He didn't want to hurt his omega. He wanted to make this moment perfect for both of them, because there was no guarantee there would be another tomorrow.

Start small, Wayden told himself as he moved his fingers.

"Anahhh… I'm ready… ready…" Blaine screamed, reaching for him. "I want to come with you inside me."

Wayden groaned. He pulled his fingers out of Blaine's hole and ripped his sleeping clothes off. Naked, Wayden slid over Blaine, leaving tiny kisses along the omega's back. Blaine shivered beneath him. Wayden brought his cock to Blaine's hole. Tightness and scorching heat met him. Wayden gritted his teeth, fighting the urge to push deep inside Blaine in one hard thrust. He held back, slowly pushing deeper.

Blaine moaned, dropping down on the bed. Wayden followed him. He braced himself on one arm so he wouldn't crush Blaine with his weight. With his other hand, Wayden grasped Blaine's thigh and tilted it up at an angle, opening him up. He rocked his hips slowly.

"Fuck," Blaine mumbled. He took a deep breath and released it as Wayden pushed deeper. There was some resistance, but Blaine did his best to relax, taking his cock so beautifully.

"That's it, baby, relax. You're doing so good," Wayden praised him. It took everything in Wayden to remain still and give Blaine a chance to get used to him.

"What are you doing?" Blaine whined. "Move."

"I'm waiting for your little hole to get used to my cock. Then I'm going to fuck you to an inch of your life and then I'm going to give you what you asked for," Wayden said caressing Blaine's side.

"Do it now. I like it when it hurts a little."

"What?" Wayden asked, stunned. "You do?"

"It feels so good. Your cock feels good. The way you're stretching me. It hurts, but… Nahhh…" Blaine said, wriggling beneath him. They both groaned as the sweetest pleasure ignited from where they were joined. Wayden kissed the side of Blaine's neck as he pulled out and slammed back in.

"Ahhh…" Blaine cried, and Wayden did it again and again. The sound of flesh slapping flesh filled the room, along with their moans and the creaking of the bed. Wayden pulled Blaine to his chest and brought them upright; the move caused his cock to slide deeper into Blaine and gave him access to his front. Wayden ran his hand down Blaine's chest to his hard cock. Wayden wrapped his fingers around Blaine's cock and stroked.

"Oh fuck!" Blaine screamed, coming instantly. Cum coated Wayden's fingers and its scent filled his nose, igniting his own orgasm. Wayden froze mid-thrust as mind-numbing pleasure flooded his veins. His knot thickened and he could feel it sliding into place inside Blaine, locking them together. Wayden's knot throbbed, stealing his breath. His body went weak and convulsed uncontrollably as he came again and again.

It was like a little death.

Wayden crumpled onto the mattress and tried his best not to crush Blaine with his weight. He pulled the omega close and held him tight as he kept coming. He was filling Blaine up with his cum. The very thought drove Wayden insane. He growled against Blaine's neck. Wayden's teeth ached. He wanted to claim Blaine so badly, he had to drag his mouth away.

"Wayden," Blaine mewed, squeezing around Wayden's knot. Wayden's hips moved involuntarily. It felt like his cum was being sucked out of him. It felt so good. Wayden could stay inside Blaine forever – just like this, with his arms tight around the omega and his knot pulsing inside his hole.

Could he do it? An anxious feeling slinked its way down his spine, threatening to take away his pleasure. Wayden kissed Blaine's neck, desperate to forget his own misgivings. Blaine moaned, and Wayden knew he'd do anything to hear that sound again and again for the rest of his life.
