At least now, I’d get it out of the way and I didn't have to worry about disrupting any of the pre-wedding ceremonies that were happening. Not like the time I had gone into heat when I was nineteen years old and had to bow out of a state dinner. I couldn't even remember the dignitary that I had offended with my absence.
My fathers hadn't even given me my itinerary for this weekend, so it wasn't as if I would be missing anything. The friends and organizations I wanted to check up on would have to wait a few days, and my parents had enough to keep them busy, they wouldn’t mind delaying our meeting for a few days. So, instead, I let the heat take over my body, the longer I resisted it, the more awful it would be.
Sure, I could call on someone to help out. But I'd never shared my heat with anyone, and I wasn't going to start now. I sent a quick text to my dad and oddly enough, my twin brother to let them know that I would be in my room for the next forty-eight hours, or maybe less if I was lucky.
They understood. It was an omega’s life after all.
My brother sent back the pukey emoji face, but then quickly responded that he'd send up cake and ice cream later. I had to laugh. It was appreciated.
I drew a bath, slipped out of my clothes, and just let myself be overtaken with heat and desire. My hole slickened, smoothing the way for an alpha cock that would never arrive. My dick became impossibly hard. I gripped the base and stroked, closing my eyes as I worked my own cock like I had done hundreds of times before.
Visions of my dream alpha flashed through my mind. Broad shoulders, wide chest with a smattering of dark hair, firm pecks, abs that went forever and ended with that delicious line that practically drew an arrow right down to his nether regions.
I groaned as I stroked myself and sunk down into the water, letting the bubbles surround me. I could just picture him, my perfect alpha.
My picture somehow always turned into the same man, which is why I never concentrated on his face. Xavier. I hadn’t seen him since I’d arrived, hadn’t heard if he was still around. But I was thinking about him right now. He didn't need to know I fantasized about him during my heats. He didn't even know I existed.
I was just about to come, moaning Xavier's name when a shrill siren pierced through the air.
I jumped out of the tub, splashing water behind me. I grabbed the towel from the hook and raced through my bedroom and into the sitting area. My dick was still hard, my hole leaking slick. Shudders racked my body, but still the siren shirked through the air.
The door to my suite burst open. “What the fuck?” I shouted, holding the towel in front of my body. My cock had deflated but heat still prickled under my skin.
One of the alpha bodyguards stood in my doorway, his eyes locked on mine. His nostrils flared as his back stiffened.
Fuck. My pheromones had to be all over the place and from the looks of it, this alpha wasn’t the type that could handle himself in a room with an omega in heat.
“What are you doing in here? You need to leave.” I began to back away, resisting the urge to run.
“There's been a breach of the property. It's protocol.” He shook his head as if my stench offended him. “You and all of the royal family members need to be in your rooms.”
“I am in my room! Get out!” I clutched the towel. Did I have anything I could use as a weapon if this alpha didn’t get himself under control? Who the hell would I call for help?
“It’s protocol for a guard to be in your room. You can’t be out of sight.” His breath came in heavy pants and I realized then that he was losing his battle for control.
“Absolutely not,” I said. “You need to leave.” If an alpha couldn't control himself around an omega in heat, bad things could happen, which is why we often secluded ourselves during our heats. One would think that the alphas in the bodyguard group would be stronger than this, but apparently not this one.
“I can’t—” He covered his face with his hands, his body tensed like he was fighting within himself. The siren screeched at regular intervals, even if I screamed, no one would hear.
I grabbed for the vase that sat on the table next to the couch. It was a gift years ago from another omega prince for my twentieth birthday. It had sentimental value, and it was a priceless piece of art, but I wouldn’t hesitate to smash it over this alpha’s head if I needed to.
“You need to get a grip on yourself and leave,” I said.
The alpha took a step forward and I prepared myself for the fight to come, but suddenly he was ripped from the room and the door closed.
Xavier flipped the lock and turned to me. His eyes flashed with anger and something that I didn’t recognize. “Are you okay?” he asked.
I nodded. “Are you—do you—I’m kind of in the middle of something here…”
His jaw tensed, a muscle ticked. “I’m under control. But you need to be within my sight.”
The impossibility of the situation nearly had me buckling at the knees. My dick was hard enough to pound nails. It hurt. Pain radiated from my groin. If I didn’t fill my ass with something soon I was going to come unglued.
“I have to—”
“I know, Iain, I know. But there is an intruder on the property. Inside the palace. I can’t let you alone. You need to be protected.”
I clutched tighter at the towel. “An intruder? Someone got inside?”
He nodded.
That was new. We’d had close calls before, but never an intruder inside the building.
“Go to your bedroom, keep the door open. I will stay here and guard the entrance.” Xavier’s gaze roved the room, likely scanning for any threat that could be looming in the shadows. But I was alone. With Xavier.
He was still here. Still employed as a palace guard. Just where I’d left him.
Fuck. My suite was larger than the average bedroom, but it wasn’t large enough that he wouldn’t hear everything I did to myself in the other room.
“You’ll be able to—”
“I can control myself, Iain. You are safe with me.”
My body trembled as a heat spread through me from his words. My name on his lips, sans my royal title. It was an aphrodisiac like I’d never encountered before. I knew he told the truth. He would maintain control no matter what I did in the other room, no matter how loud my shouts of pleasure got, no matter how thick the air was with my heat. He could handle it.
“What if I can’t?”
He blinked at me, shock registering on his face in an almost funny way. “Pardon?”
“My heat would go by a lot faster if I shared it with an alpha. If we’re stuck with each other for the next few hours, we could—”
“Iain, you don’t—”
My body shuddered as my name slid past his lips again. I’d never heard him say it. It was always “Your Highness.” I was never Iain to him, but I wanted to be.
I dropped the towel, my cock jutted out from my body. Hard as stone and leaking cum.
Xavier’s eyes widened. He put a hand to his ear, listening. Someone must be communicating via the radio. “Yes, Prince Iain is secure. I have eyes on him and won’t be leaving this room until we get the all clear.”
I held my breath. Did that mean he was going to reject me or…
“Use my cellphone for communication from now on. I’m taking my earpiece out.”
He removed the small device and set it on the table, then set his phone next to it. “Iain, do you know what you’re asking of me?”
I nodded. “I do.”
“I have control right now, Iain, but if we start this, I don’t know if we can stop.”
“I trust you. And I won’t want to stop.”
Chapter Four
Xavier
My body made the decision for me. My dick hardened the moment I walked into Prince Iain’s room. With his scent all around me, heat or not, I wanted him.
I should have left with the other bodyguard, the one I’d had to throw out of the room. I’d see to it that he was sent back to training or jail. T
hough he hadn’t hurt the prince, there had been fear in Iain’s eyes when I’d come into the room and stopped the guard from doing something incredibly horrific.
Protocol dictated when there was an intruder in the palace, an extremely rare occurrence, each member of the royal family needed to be within sight of their guard at all times. I’d been on my way to Iain’s room when the alarm sounded. I’d meant to welcome him home and explain about the change in security detail, instead the alarm had rung and I’d caught his current guard just before the unthinkable could occur.
If I had been just a few minutes later… I shuddered as what could have happened to my prince ran through my mind.
Iain moaned as he stroked his cock. “Please, Xavier. I’m struggling here.”
I removed my shirt and my earpiece, dropping both to the floor.
Iain groaned in what sounded like relief. “Thank the gods, I need you.”
I knew he meant an alpha, and not just me specifically, but I liked hearing that it was me that he wanted.
I closed the distance between us and stood in front of him. His skin held droplets of water from his bath, and his eyes were droopy with desire. His body radiated heat. I stroked my fingers down his cheek, searching his gaze for any reluctance in my touch. If he flinched away, I’d leave. He had to want this, want me, before I was going any further.
He leaned into the touch, his eyes fluttering. “Xavier, please. Take me to bed.”
No sweeter words had ever hit my ears. It was every fantasy brought to life. “Glady, Your Highness.”
He moaned. “Please just call me Iain.”
“Iain,” I breathed.
I swept him into my arms, and he wrapped his arms around my neck as I carried him to his bedroom. I placed him on the king-sized bed overtop the comforter. On the night stand was an assortment of dildos and a large bottle of lube and a single condom.
Iain flushed. “I was getting ready to, ummm…”
I grinned. “You won’t need those right now, but maybe later.”
Iain’s usually shy gaze melted away and it was filled with lust. “I’d rather have your cock than any of those toys any day.”
My cock, which was already hard, went to full mast in a matter of seconds. It strained against my pants and I removed them. I stood in front of the bed, fully naked, my gaze roving over the fully naked prince splayed out for me.
He stroked himself and spread his legs while I climbed onto the bed and nestled between his legs.
“Are you absolutely sure, Iain? I can stop.”
“Please don’t. We haven’t even started.” He gripped my neck and pulled me down. His lips crashed against mine in a bruising kiss. Despite his forcefulness, there was a hesitation in his movements, like he hadn’t had a lot of kisses before and wasn’t sure what to do. Was it possible that my prince was untouched?
I took over. Moving my lips over his, coaxing his mouth open so I could get a taste of him. Meanwhile, my hand felt its way down his body, over his smooth abs and hips until I found his balls. I cradled them in my hand and he hissed. His hips bucked.
I touched a finger to his hole and he moaned.
“Please, yes, please.” Iain arched his back.
I kissed his neck, sucked the skin over his collar bone into my mouth. He tasted of cherries and champagne. His was forbidden fruit. A member of the royal family, a man I had sworn under oath to protect with my life. Thank the gods he didn’t wish for me to stop, I couldn’t have at that moment.
I’d never let my fantasies go too far whenever I let myself think of Iain as a man. I’d dreamt of a kiss, of a touch, but never his taste or the sounds he might make if I were ever able to get him underneath me. But now I experienced it all.
Iain’s fingertips clutched at my back as I pressed a finger into his tight hole. The slick his body created while deep in the throes of his heat helped ease the way. We wouldn’t even need the lube he had ready for use.
I scissored my fingers to make room for more, he’d need to be stretched to make room for my cock.
His body took me easily.
“Fuck me, please Xavier. I need your cock.”
I kissed his neck and chuckled against his skin. “Such naughty words for the young prince,” I said.
His eyes blazed with desire and a touch of anger. “I know what I want, Xavier. Give it to me.”
All teasing left my mind. I grabbed a condom from the night stand and sheathed my cock. Hopefully, he had more than just the one, because we were going to need them.
I lined my cock to his hole and held his hips steady as I buried myself in his depths. I almost wished that I could capture this moment forever, in something other than my memories. I wanted to relive it forever. I’d need my memories to keep me warm in the dungeon after his fathers found out I’d spent Iain’s heat with him.
Iain’s body took me easily. His hips bucked and jumped, pulling my cock in deeper with each movement.
“So full,” he breathed. His eyes open, watching me. “Fuck me, Xavier. Move!”
His wish was my command. I’d never deny my prince his needs. I gripped his hips as I slammed into him, slow at first but increasing my speed with each movement.
I’d never shared a heat with an omega before. I knew being with an alpha was the quickest way to alleviate the discomfort that came with a heat.
He took everything I gave and gave it right back.
His channel gripped my cock, milking my release from me. It was coming quicker than I wanted. We wouldn’t be able to savor this if I popped too fast. “Oh fuck, Iain! Need to slow down. Too fast.”
“Don’t stop! Fuck, this feels so good. I need it, Xavier. Harder!”
He pumped his dick between us, precum beaded at the tip. I wanted to taste it, but if I did I’d be done for sure.
Iain’s back arched. “Oh fuck, right there. More! More!” he shouted at me as I thrust into him. His legs clamped around me until my hips could barely move, but I still pumped into him.
When he came, it was like an explosion between us. His cock erupted with ropey white spurts of cum that didn’t quit. I followed soon after, filling his hole.
His legs locked around me and I held myself above him with shaky arms. He trailed a hand down my back.
“That was amazing,” he said. His voice sounded far away and I was just impressed he could make words. I opened my mouth to say something, but all that came out was a moan.
It took a moment, but I caught my breath and removed my dick from his body. I removed the protection, tossed it in the wastebasket in the bathroom. While I was in there, I checked the temp of the bath water, it was still warm. I returned to my prince and scooped him into my arms.
His cock was already hard again. “Need you,” he said. He pressed his lips to my neck, his tongue touching my skin.
I shuddered, my own dick thickening also.
“I know, love. But I think we ought to enjoy this bath you had drawn.”
I lowered us into the water and Iain relaxed against me, his back against my chest. His body rumbled as he let out a breathy moan.
Later we would have to talk, figure out what this meant and how we would deal with the repercussions, but right now I had my omega in my arms and I wanted to savor the moment as long as I could.
Chapter Five
Iain
It was warm. So incredibly warm. More than what was normal for my room at the palace.
I knew I was in the palace, because nowhere else would I have a blanket this thick. But there was more than a blanket weighing me down at the moment.
An arm was slung over my hips and I was completely naked. I never slept naked.
I shifted and a soreness radiated through my body.
Then it all came crashing back to me. My heat. The bodyguard. Xavier.
Oh holy fish sticks, I’d spent the night with Xavier, my dream alpha. The man I’d been in love with for forever. A man I’d went to Esmour to avoid. Well, that wasn’t fair. I’d had many re
asons for going to Esmour and avoiding my crush on Xavier was one of the smaller ones.
“Your Highness?” Xavier’s voice was rough from sleep. He lifted his head up and I couldn’t help but grin.
I’d never seen him disheveled or even partially undressed. He was always in a suit and most of the time he had sunglasses on. But now, his hair was pointing every which way, his jaw rough with facial hair, and his eyes clouded with exhaustion.
Had I done that to him? I tried to count in my head the number of times we’d had sex but I lost count after three.
“I think it was five,” he said.
My eyes widened. “How did—”
He chuckled. “You were ticking them off on your hand.”
“Oh,” I said and my cheeks flushed.
His eyes narrowed. “Is your heat finished? You still feel warm.”
He pressed a hand to my forehead and I moaned against his touch. I’d thought my heat was about done, but it was as if his touch ignited a fire in me. My cock thickened and grew hard. My hole slickened. It wasn’t over, but it was on its way out. I could likely manage without an alpha now.
“I think I can manage on my own. If you need to… um…”
Xavier cupped my cheek in his hand, his thumb grazing my bottom lip. He pressed his lips to mine and I melted against him. “I always see a job to the end, Iain. I’d never leave this half-finished.” He sighed. “But, unfortunately, I’m not sure I can move right now.”
I bit my lip and averted my gaze. “Can I…”
I pushed at his shoulder until he was flat on his back, then I crawled until I straddled him. His dick was hard already, mine was too. He used his hands to guide himself to my hole and push his way in.
I sank down inch by glorious inch. My head thrown back as my body was filled with my alpha.
Xavier gripped my hips, his fingertips digging into my skin. “Oh baby,” he moaned. “God, you’re beautiful like this. All mine.”
“Yes, yours,” I agreed.
I moved, slowly at first, unsure of how or what I was doing. All that mattered was that it felt good. I ground my hips and gyrated to a rhythm, riding my alpha into the throes of passion.
