MacesOmega

  Noah looked down to note the wet spot on his pants, and he whimpered a bit as Mace freed his cock and pumped it, running his thumb over the wet head.

  “Mmmm, you see, baby? You’ve come out of heat, and it’s still good,” Mace said. He hefted Noah into his arms and carried him to the bedroom. Noah hid his face against Mace’s chest, and he loved the feel of the omega’s breath there. He laid his lover down and yanked Noah’s shoes off before pulling his pants and boxers down.

  Mace admired Noah as he finished undressing himself. He loved that Noah was smaller than him, though he’d never given it any thought with other omegas. He could completely engulf Noah in his arms and overwhelm him. Overpower him. Though he’d always topped, he’d never really felt the need to dominate another. But now? He craved Noah’s complete submission. He didn’t know how to put it into words, so he put his mouth to other uses.

  Mace knelt by the bed and spread Noah’s legs to suck his cock. Noah’s hips thrust gently, and Mace moved so he could take Noah deep each time. When Noah was about to come, Mace backed off and simply kissed his stomach. Noah squirmed, but he stilled soon enough when Mace mouthed his balls, licking and sucking them. He worked down, pushing Noah’s legs up.

  Noah loved being rimmed, and the younger man got loud when Mace did this. His moans and incoherent praise urged Mace on. Mace had only teased lovers this way before, but with Noah he took his time and went deep, always looking to take Noah to the next level of pleasure. All of this spun in Mace’s head and he pushed Noah into the center of the bed and climbed on top of him. Mind-blowing as the sex was, that in and of itself wasn’t a reason to take a mate. But this insatiable desire to please Noah? That was something to consider.

  Mace saw the red marks he’d left on Noah’s neck. There would be bruises the next day, no doubt, but that only made him smile. He lowered himself and kissed Noah’s collarbone. “You ready for me, baby?”

  “Yes, please,” Noah whispered.

  Mace took hold of Noah’s ass cheeks and spread him. They wouldn’t even need lube, he’d stretched Noah so well with his tongue and fingers, but he squirted a little on Noah’s pucker and then dribbled some on his cock as well. Noah made a protesting sound, and Mace stroked Noah’s cock briefly to turn that sound to a moan. He teased the head of his cock over Noah’s opening for a minute, and then he entered. The two of them fit together perfectly, and the way Noah flexed and arched was like heaven.

  “This isn’t just about pups. It’s about us,” Mace said. “Wanna give you pleasure every day.”

  “You’re very good at it.” Noah looked up at him and shuddered.

  “So beautiful.”

  Noah gasped as he held Mace’s gaze. Was he confused? Was he hesitant to open up completely? Mace brought their lips together to try to reassure him.

  Noah returned the kiss, his sounds of pleasure making Mace want to go faster. But he maintained the slow pace. He’d already brought Noah to the edge twice, and he knew the orgasm would only get better the longer he delayed it. They stopped for breath every now and then, but he kept looking into Noah’s eyes as he slowly pumped into him.

  Noah was shaking by the end and had to hold on to Mace, which Mace loved. When Noah came, Mace quickened to join him. Then he pushed deep to knot him, their bodies locked together as Noah’s channel flexed around him and cum spilled from Noah’s cock, splashing both of them. Mace rubbed the cum into Noah’s stomach as he bent his lover almost in half to pound into him. Once they’d knotted, Mace couldn’t be gentle, but he knew the release he’d just given Noah had him riding high. As Mace finally came, he cupped Noah’s face and licked some of the cum off his hand. As the last blasts of cum shot out of him, he leaned over and said, “Mine,” before kissing Noah deeply.

  They lay in silence a long time after that, Noah facing the wall and spooned in Mace’s arms. Mace ran his hands up and down Noah’s side.

  “I didn’t hurt you? At the end?” Mace asked.

  “No. You didn’t hurt me.” Noah turned in his arms. “But that was intense.”

  “I wanted to show you our chemistry wasn’t based on you being in heat. We’re good together,” Mace said.

  “It was good. More than good.”

  “And I meant what I said. I want to have sex every day.”

  Noah smiled. “I don’t plan on complaining.”

  Mace ran his hand over Noah’s stomach. “I won’t knot you anymore once you’re pregnant, but I like it, for now.”

  “It won’t hurt the pup. Or me.”

  “It won’t? Those last few moments are kind of rough.”

  “Hey, I’m the omega here. I know a lot about that stuff. But I can let the doctor tell you, if that will make you feel better.”

  “Not sure much will reassure me.” He drew Noah close and kissed his forehead. “I’ll probably drive you nuts, watching you and trying to make sure you have what you need.”

  Noah smiled. “The strongest, hottest beta in the pack waiting on me hand and foot? Sounds wonderful.”

  “I take care of what’s mine.”

  Noah’s smile faded. His eyes took on a far off look as he asked, “How did you feel tonight?”

  “About Gideon?”

  “Yeah.”

  Mace looked up at the ceiling. “I’m happy for him. It still feels strange, I guess. But … it’s not like seeing an ex with someone new. We were never together. Never touched at all. Fuck, I don’t think he’s ever done more than pat me on the back.” Noah had turned his head down a bit, and Mace stroked Noah’s cheek. “Look at me.”

  Noah did so, his expression off, like it had been when they came back to the cabin.

  “I’m not just passing time with you, little one. I’m not going to sit in this cabin alone feeling sorry for myself. If you don’t want me to say you’re mine, or other things like that, until we’ve made a bigger commitment, that’s fine. Just tell me what you want. We’re lovers until one of us wants out. It’s not the same as being mated, but it still means something to me.”

  “I like it.”

  “Like what?”

  Noah pressed closer and searched his eyes. “You saying I’m yours. My other lover … it was just sex. We didn’t do things together. Didn’t have much to say to each other. If anything, I was with him out of curiosity.” Noah pushed Mace to his back and climbed on top of him. “I like you. A lot.” He leaned down and kissed Mace’s chest.

  His mouth was hot and soft, and Mace sighed. “Gonna make me hard again.” Noah’s mouth locked onto his right nipple. “Mmmm, especially doing that.”

  “That’s my plan.” Noah inched down and knelt between his legs. “You’ve only let me ride you once. I liked it.”

  Mace chuckled. “You liked it? I more than liked it. Hot little omega bouncing up and down on me like he can’t get enough.”

  Noah pumped him, and Mace was ready within seconds. “Then let’s do it like that more often.” He straddled Mace and lowered himself slowly, reaching back to guide Mace’s cock into him. He moaned as he worked his way down.

  Mace gripped Noah’s legs and enjoyed the eroticism of feeling his own cum lubing the channel he sank into. As he watched Noah ride him and take the pleasure he wanted, Mace realized beyond any doubt that he was moving far beyond being a little attached.

  * * * *

  Mace whistled as he poured coffee for himself. He’d insisted Noah take a hot bath that morning so he wouldn’t be sore all day. They’d ended up falling asleep the night before, then waking up at about three and fucking two more times.

  A knock came at the door, and Mace called out, “Come in. It’s open.”

  Thomas came in, grinning widely. “Morning.”

  “Good morning.” Mace expected Gideon to follow, but Thomas closed the door behind him.

  “Thought you guys would come run with us last night,” Thomas said.

  “We came back here. Just wanted a quiet night in.” Mace held up his mug. “Coffee?”

  “Sure. So
unds good.”

  Mace poured him a cup and brought it over, and they both sat at the table.

  “You two seem to have taken to each other. When will we be having our next mating ceremony?”

  Mace didn’t want to talk about that because he had no idea what to say. “I don’t know.”

  “You don’t know?”

  “We haven’t talked about it.” He wasn’t sure what he could or should say without Noah present. They’d been so busy working and fucking they hadn’t had a chance to make those plans they’d discussed. Last night’s declarations were the closest they’d come to talking about where they stood in their relationship. Wrapping his hands around his own cup of coffee, Mace added, “It hasn’t even been a week yet.”

  Noah came into the room then. He smiled at his brother before getting coffee. “Morning,” he said as he sat at the table with them.

  Thomas didn’t reply right away. He looked back and forth between the two of them. “Those marks on his neck aren’t from playing checkers or watching movies. You two have had sex.”

  “Yes, we have.” Mace didn’t know where this was going, but he didn’t like it.

  “You put a pup in him, you will mate him. I ought to make you do it just for taking his virginity.”

  Noah’s cup hit the table with a clink, and a little bit of coffee spilled. Mace stared at Thomas. It wasn’t his place to say that Noah hadn’t been a virgin, so instead, he cleared his throat and said, “Um, correct me if I’m wrong, but most omegas have multiple partners before they are mated permanently. And the new standards you and Gideon want would give omegas even more freedom, not less, am I right?”

  Thomas locked eyes with Mace. “I don’t care what other omegas do. I care what happens to my brother.”

  “Thomas?”

  Thomas looked over to Noah after eyeing Mace another few seconds. “Yes?”

  “I wasn’t a virgin. I had sex with David several times last year, before he was mated.”

  “David?” Thomas’s face went dark. “My own second did this to you?”

  “Did this to me?” Noah said. “I’m twenty. When we had sex, I was nineteen. And I wanted it. I was in heat, and I didn’t feel like locking myself away to spend days masturbating. He was kind to me. He noticed I was frustrated, and then it happened. I wanted it, and I liked it. David did nothing wrong.”

  “Then he should’ve come clean with me. I was his alpha. I still am.”

  “It was consensual sex. You can’t do anything to him,” Noah said.

  “I can give the fucker a piece of my mind.”

  “The changes you want to make are about choice. I chose to have sex. He didn’t knot me. We were careful. No one got hurt. It was in October. He wasn’t with Jocelyn yet. I’m not a child anymore,” Noah said.

  Mace noticed Thomas flinch when Noah said October, and he wondered why. He kept his gaze on the alpha now.

  There was a long silence. Then the alpha said, “You’re still very young.” Thomas stood up and turned toward the door. “I’m serious, Mace. If there’s a pup, you will mate him.”

  Noah stopped Mace from rising and stood up himself. “No. It’s about choice. My choice and Mace’s. We won’t mate just for the child’s sake, just like we aren’t going to mate because you and Gideon want it. Spending the rest of our lives together or going our separate ways involves no one but us. You got that?”

  Instead of replying, Thomas turned and left, slamming the door. Mace rose when he noticed Noah shaking. “Sit down.” He made Noah sit down and then went after Thomas.

  Noah’s voice trembled as he said, “Mace, it’s okay. Don’t.”

  “Just have to say one thing, baby.” He jerked the door open, and to his surprise, he didn’t have to go chasing after Thomas. The man sat on the porch steps, his face in his hands.

  “Thomas?” Mace said as he closed the door.

  The alpha sighed. “What?”

  “Noah and I talked about this when you two arrived four days ago. We both want the freedom to walk away if lust and liking don’t turn to love. You love another alpha, which used to be forbidden. Aren’t you glad you won the right to a choice?”

  “David used to be my lover. He broke things off with me in October, and now I know why. I knew there was someone else. He must’ve felt guilty. Too guilty to tell me.” He shrugged. “When he took a mate just a few months later, I thought it must’ve been because of her. That he’d found he preferred women and simply couldn’t tell me.”

  “Noah didn’t know?”

  Thomas shook his head. “I never brought lovers to our house. I didn’t want Noah getting curious about what he was missing.”

  “I doubt there was any way to avoid that, especially since he’s an omega.” Mace glanced back at the door and asked, “So are you more upset about your second being with your brother or your lover being with someone else?”

  “I honestly don’t know.”

  Mace came closer and leaned on the railing. “Maybe you should talk with your brother. Tell him the truth so he’ll understand it’s not just you being overprotective.”

  “David’s rejection hurt. I’d never have made it without Gideon.” He looked up at Mace. “I’d been alone a few months, and we got to talking. Then we started touching, and Gideon told me he’d wanted me for a long time. I was shocked, but his love—both the sex and the emotional part equally—saved me. It gave me the nerve to stand up to the elders and move for change.”

  The door behind them flew open. “I couldn’t help overhearing,” Noah said, nodding to his left. “The window’s open.”

  Thomas cringed. “I see. I didn’t want you to know.”

  “I get that, but you and David should talk about it. Maybe not any time soon, but one day. He did do something wrong. I’d never have let him touch me if I’d known you two were involved.”

  Mace decided to leave them alone, not wanting to get any deeper into this than he already was. “I’ll let you two talk.” He stepped off the porch and moved toward the woods. He nodded as he passed other cabins, and just as he reached the tree line, he saw Gideon coming toward him. His head was spinning from what had just happened, but he stopped and tried to put on his best face.

  Gideon smiled broadly. “Haven’t seen much of you the past few days. And that little omega looks at you like a lovesick pup. It seems we chose well.”

  “We’re getting along.”

  “Everything all right?”

  “Fine, but there is one thing. It’s gonna come up one way or another. Yes, Noah and I are sleeping together. And he was in heat when they arrived, so there may already be a pup. But we aren’t going to go forward with matehood just because of a pup.”

  “But you want a family. Always have.” Gideon frowned deeply. “You want another raising your pup?”

  “No.”

  “Then you don’t have much choice.”

  “We don’t have to live in the same house to raise the child together.”

  “Don’t you like each other?”

  Mace didn’t know how to explain it. It made sense to him and Noah, so why didn’t anyone else get it? Of course, after last night, it might no longer matter. It seemed pretty obvious they were both getting attached, getting used to each other. “I guess we both resent the matchmaking part. Being pushed together. I mean, he’s beautiful and sweet and smart, but I’d rather have noticed those things on my own. You remember how upset I got when you told me this plan. Those initial feelings didn’t vanish simply because I like Noah.”

  “Does he like you? Seem happy?”

  “Yeah. Happy enough, considering we were pushed together.”

  “The sex good?”

  Mace crossed his arms. “It is, but I don’t want to talk about it.”

  “Am I the problem?”

  Mace thought about it, then shook his head. “Honestly? No. Not the way you were a few days ago.”

  “Reality beats a fantasy any day. I won’t tell you what to do. I vowed that
would stop, but I understand how Thomas feels. Noah’s his only living sibling. Both of his half-brothers and his sister died in a car accident. And his mom died giving birth to Noah. You know any of that?”

  “Noah told me about his mother. That’s awful.”

  Gideon nodded. “I’ll talk to him, but he’s gonna be protective. I know you’ll take good care of Noah no matter what, but I can’t just transmit my knowledge of you to Thomas. Can’t give him my confidence.”

  “I know.”

  “You two talking about me?” Thomas called from a fair distance away.

  Mace tensed, but the other alpha didn’t look upset.

  “We are. You been harassing my second?”

  To Mace’s relief, Thomas laughed. “A bit.”

  The two alphas gazed at each other, and Mace could see the love between them, even more so than he had at the ceremony the night before. He waited for both of them to look at him. “I’ll do right by Noah, I swear. But remember, if I ask him to be my mate, he still has the right to say no.”

  Thomas smirked. “He won’t say no. I know my brother. He’s crazy about you. I can tell by the way he looks at you. And the very protective way he just told me to watch how I treat you.”

  Mace glanced at Gideon, who had said roughly the same thing about the way Noah looked at him. His alpha winked at him, and Mace looked at the ground a minute. “Just give us time. I like him. A lot. But this is about us, not anyone else.”

  Thomas sighed, but when Mace looked up, he nodded. “All right. I can’t promise not to get growly at times, but change is what I wanted. Now I get to see what that change can bring. I treated Noah as if he was different from other omegas. I am proud to see him thinking for himself.”

  “I like that about him,” Mace said. “Thank you. Both of you. It’s easier knowing you support us.” He looked to the woods, but his eyes drifted back toward home. “I think I’m gonna head back.”

  “Don’t blame you,” Gideon said. “Their bloodline made some handsome males.”

  Thomas raised an eyebrow. “You’re only supposed to have eyes for me,” he teased, inching closer to Gideon.
