Starry Skies for My Omega

by Marianna Forrest

  “I need your okay on this, Lukas. I’m not going to kidnap you, hurt you, or do anything you don’t want. But I can’t leave you alone in this destroyed house. It’s not safe,” Owen anxiously added, looking at the shattered glass and overturned furniture scattered around the room.

  Lukas nodded slowly, using his nightstand as support to try to stand before falling again. Owen helped Lukas onto his bed, checking him for wounds before laying him down.

  “I’ll throw a suitcase together for you. Does Miss Mulberry have a carrier anywhere?” Owen asked.

  “Hallway closet. She has a favorite blanket and bird toy down on the couch, too. Food is in the pantry, bottom shelf.” Lukas threw his arm across his forehead as he stared up at the ceiling.

  “Okay. I’ll be back in a jiffy. Try to get some rest,” Owen rushed off to gather everything, switching off the light as he left. Lukas turned his head to stare out the window and saw that clouds had gathered in the past hour, dimming the moonlight.

  Lukas sighed. He really didn’t want to be alone right now, but he knew Owen couldn’t be in two places at once. Didn’t make it any easier, though.

  “Just for a little while, you’ll be fine,” Lukas whispered to himself.

  The curtains remained open, the longing for privacy forgotten in the midst of the attack. As time passed, the clouds cleared slightly, letting moonlight reflect off the shattered glass on the floor.

  Lukas felt a nostalgic feeling bloom in his chest. The scattered glass painted an illusion of stars on the ceiling above his bed. Ignoring the gnawing heat in his body, he marveled at the sight with a tired smile until his eyes grew heavy.

  Chapter 9

  The squeal of the brakes roused Lukas from his sleep. Owen’s scent was all around him. Opening his eyes, he realized he was in Owen’s car.

  He heard Miss Mulberry meowing in her carrier in the back seat.

  “Hey, sunshine. We’re already here.” Owen threaded his fingers through Lukas’ and squeezed lightly.

  It was still dark outside. The clock in the car indicated it was just past two-thirty.

  “Let’s get you inside and settled, and then, maybe, we can get some quality sleep,” Owen whispered to the drowsy omega.

  Undoing his seatbelt, Owen stepped out of the car and came around to the passenger side. He gingerly raised the seat up and helped Lukas stand before placing the omega’s arm around his neck and sweeping his arm under his legs.

  Lukas squirmed as he grabbed the alpha’s shirt, shocked to suddenly not be on the ground. A few moments passed, and he relaxed, leaning into Owen’s chest.

  Lukas groaned, torn between fighting sleep and doing something about the heat gnawing away in his stomach. He leaned his head back to look up at the sky before the tin awning of the apartment building blocked his view. He caught a familiar scent before it was blocked by the city again.

  “…’s gonna rain tonight,” Lukas whispered, slurring his words together.

  Owen looked up at the sky. There were only a few stray clouds illumintated by the moon against the dark sky.

  “How can you tell?” Owen questioned.

  A small chuckle slipped from Lukas’ mouth. “Can’t mistake that smell. Rain on the wind.”

  Lukas nuzzled back into Owen’s neck, smiling.

  Slowly working his way up the stairs to his apartment, Owen felt his body shudder at the contact. He pulled Lukas tightly to him before arriving at his door.

  Quickly unlocking his door, he stepped forward, carefully maneuvering Lukas’ head and legs through. Within a moment, they were greeted by a giant fuzzy creature.

  Owen tiredly glanced down at the dog, smiling before saying, “Well, hello, O’ Guardian of the Den. Lick anyone to death while we were gone?”

  Mimosa bounced around happily, sniffing Owen’s legs as he walked past before returning to her bed next to the couch.

  Owen’s apartment was small, but it was cozy. It was painted in darker, more moody colors that made the apartment cave-like. Dark curtains blocked out the streetlights and dampened the noise from the streets below. A simple lamp in the corner dimly lit the entryway and living room.

  Books and newspapers were scattered about the coffee table, and small succulents dotted the windowsill above Mimosa’s bed. Framed pictures of various city skylines lined the walls above the couch and down the hallway.

  Owen made his way down the hallway and carefully nudged open his bedroom door. The room was a bit messy, but it would do for now. He slowly made his way across his room, careful to avoid any of Mimosa’s squeaky toys. No need to summon the beast.

  His full-size bed was pushed against the wall in the far corner just below one of the windows. It was covered in pillows and blankets arranged against the headboard and under the window.

  The curtains were drawn open, and the blinds were a mess. Mimosa had probably been in here looking out the one window she could reach. The tattered blinds allowed the pale yellow light of the streetlights to creep across the bed.

  Owen pulled back the old fleece blanket, helping Lukas under it, before surrounding the omega with more blankets and pillows.

  “I know the last thing you want is to be covered in heavy blankets, but it’ll help soothe you for a bit while I’m gone. I’m going to run back down to get Miss Mulberry. I’ve set up a small place for her in the other room until she gets introduced to Mimosa. I’ll be back soon, I promise,” Owen whispered, running his hand through Lukas’ shaggy hair.

  Lukas nodded, sinking into the warm nest and wrapping up in the blankets. Despite the sweat that covered his body, it was oddly comforting. Owen shut the door as he left, fearing Mimosa would come in and harass the recovering omega.

  Lukas heard the front door close as he stared up at the ceiling with half-lidded eyes. He took a deep breath as he relaxed into the soft bed, and an intoxicating fragrance overwhelmed his senses.

  A needy mewl leaked from Lukas’ lips as he turned and buried his nose in the source. He felt the tension leaving his body, replaced by a considerable need as he took in Owen’s scent. He felt a jolt of desire shoot through his body, straight to his hips.

  Grabbing a pillow and taking in the heady smell, he slowly started grinding down into the mattress. Surrounded by the warm pillows and blankets covered in his alpha’s scent, the soft grinding motion sent shivers down his body. His mouth hung open in a silent plea for more, eliciting a quiet groan.

  A door in the hallway loudly squeaked open, shocking him out of his trance. He shot up out of the bed, falling onto the floor with a hard thump before he heard footsteps rushing to the bedroom.

  “Lukas?” Owen’s voice reached his ears. He scooted against the bed and tried to stand as the bedroom door swung open, failing to get to his feet in time. He shut his eyes so he wouldn’t have to see the worried alpha, if only for a few moments.

  With his back against the cascade of blankets, Lukas pulled his knees to his chest, laying his head back against the plush blankets, exposing his throat. Ragged pants escaped his lips.

  Owen’s calm voice was suddenly next to him. He hadn’t heard the alpha stride across the room. “Are you okay, Lukas?”

  He knew Owen could smell his arousal, see the bulge in his sweatpants. He felt dirty, getting so turned on by the alpha’s scent, and at the same time, it felt so right.

  Lukas was quiet for a moment before replying in a shuddering breath, “I’m burning up, empt–” Lukas’ voice suddenly caught in his throat as a spasm ran through his body.

  “’s too much,” Lukas slurred.

  Shivering, Lukas averted his face, focusing on the side of the room away from Owen. Out of habit, he reached up to pull the brim of his hat down, flinching when he realized his hat was still at his house.

  Lukas covered his face with his hands and sighed, trying to will away the immense load of embarrassment he was feeling.

  Owen crouched in front of Lukas, slowly taking the omega’s hands in his. Half-lidded, teary green eyes stared
back at him, framed by a face hot and flushed red with shame. Each breath they took warmed the small space between them.

  Owen pulled Lukas into a hug, leaning forward slightly to whisper in his ear, “Please don’t try to hide from me, Lukas, I–”

  Lukas whimpered as Owen sighed, blowing hot breath in his ear.

  “I know you’re scared right now. A lot of shit has happened tonight. But I don’t want you to be afraid of me, too. It would kill me,” Owen whispered.

  Lukas squeezed Owen’s hands before he doubled forward with a whimper, his toes curling in his shoes as another jolt ran through his body. Owen sat on his knees, shifting closer to the omega.

  “Why… would I be afraid of you?” Lukas asked.

  “Because every fiber of my being has changed. Before I met you, I was always alone. The quiet was unsettling, close to unbearable. Now, I know you. Whenever we’re together, I’m happy. When that bastard broke into your home and tried to hurt you, when he touched you, I was infuriated. I’m happy I was able to protect you, but if what I did scared you, I’d never forgive myself.” Owen’s head dipped down onto Lukas’ shoulder, thinking about what had happened.

  A moment of silence passed before Lukas whispered, “’s how do you feel now?”

  Owen tensed up, lifting his head to look Lukas in the eyes before saying, “I want to protect you. I want to make you laugh, make you feel better, show you new and exciting things, but most of all…”

  He lowly growled his last sentence, licking his lips, “…I want to make you mine.”

  Lukas’ grip tightened as he curled his fingers into Owen’s thin t-shirt. The alpha pulled Lukas to his feet.

  Lukas felt one of the alpha’s large hands resting on the curve of his lower back and the other cupping the side of his face. Owen leaned forward.

  “I just need to know you want this, that you want me as much as I want you,” Owen said in a breathy voice next to Lukas’ ear.

  Owen finally released Lukas from the embrace, gazing into his dazed green eyes.

  Lukas shivered. A deep, desperate longing flooded his body.

  A pleading whisper leaked from the omega’s mouth, “Owen, I want you. I want to be yours.”

  A warm purr rumbled deep in the alpha’s chest.

  “As you wish, my omega.”

  Owen’s gaze lingered on Lukas before his arms wrapped him in a protective embrace. He slowly began to lean forward, sealing the pair in a kiss.

  Hearing a low purr, Lukas slowly parted his lips, exhaling heated whimpers as Owen deepened the kiss. As if the whimpers energized Owen, he pressed forward with a sudden intensity, causing the pair to fall back into the soft bed.

  Within a moment, Lukas’ back was against the pillows near the headboard. He invited Owen closer, resting his legs on either side of the other man’s waist.

  Lukas’ hands softly threaded through Owen’s hair, drawing him into a heated kiss, breaking only to throw their shirts across the room.

  Owen’s hands wandered from Lukas’ face down his back to his hips. He pulled Lukas’ hips up as he scooted closer, closing the gap between them, grinding lightly before returning his hands to the omega’s face.

  Cupping Lukas’ face, he gently pressed kisses to his forehead, then his cheeks, before claiming his lips once more. Owen’s movements were slow, longing, as if he was adoring a beautiful piece of art.

  Owen threaded his hand through Lukas’ hair, slightly pulling the omega’s head back to expose his throat. The alpha’s tongue slowly dragged across Lukas’ throat, nipping here and there at the exposed flesh.

  Owen’s hands ran down the nape of Lukas’ neck slowly, lightly scratching down his back and sides An obscene moan escaped Lukas’ lips as Owen bucked his hips forward hard.

  The sound made Owen growl before his hands slipped past the waistband of Lukas’ sweatpants. The alpha backed his hips off a bit, hearing a needy whimper from Lukas as the warmth of his hips vanished.

  Owen bent forward, careful not to drag his hips against Lukas’ again. He kissed the omega’s face as he teased and toyed with his body, ever-so-slightly rubbing Lukas’ dick through his boxers. The rough movements forced more sweet, heated sounds to escape Lukas’ lips as he tried to hide his face against Owen’s neck.

  Growling, Owen quickly removed their remaining clothes, Lukas’ scent mingling with his own. Owen felt the omega’s legs slowly wrap around his hips, forcing them close together.

  Owen wrapped his hand around Lukas’ stiff flesh, stroking the omega up and down. Sweet moans escaped Lukas’ mouth, hot against the alpha’s shoulder. Owen felt Lukas’ fingers dig into his back, curling in pleasure.

  Slowly moving his hands downward, Owen purred when his fingers felt slick. Lukas threw his hand over his mouth, biting his lower lip lightly as he tried to block out the sounds he was making.

  “I want to hear you,” Owen whispered.

  Lukas’ pleading eyes met Owen’s before he slowly removed his hand. At that moment, Owen smirked and hooked his fingers into Lukas, causing the omega to cry out in a mix of shock and pleasure.

  “Stunning,” Owen purred low, his eyes fixed on Lukas.

  Lukas’ hips bucked up before they were forced down with a strong arm.

  “Just relax. Let me take care of you,” Owen groaned quietly.

  Lukas closed his eyes as he gave in to the pleasure. His euphoric moans filled the room as Owen moved his fingers in and out of him. Soon, he felt empty once more.

  Opening his eyes, he looked up at Owen, his desirous gaze meeting the alphas. In Owen’s eyes, there was a feral look, desperate, loving. It was enough to make Lukas turn his head and close his eyes, unable to withstand the steamy gaze.

  “Lukas.”

  He heard his name being whispered over the pounding of his own heart.

  “I need you.” Owen let out a growl, nipping at and kissing Lukas’ neck. He spoke softly, his words only intended for his omega’s ears.

  A bolt of pleasure shot through Lukas’ abdomen.

  “Please take care of me, alpha,” Lukas whispered, wrapping his arms around Owen’s neck.

  Within a moment, Lukas felt an enormous pressure as Owen’s cock started to fill him. He threw his head back in a moan. The alpha’s heated voice next to his ear and the feeling of finally being filled made his entire body tremble.

  Owen began moving with a slow, steady roll of his hips before picking up the pace. The room was filled with the lewd sound of flesh hitting flesh. Lukas was lost in the new sensations, listening to the low moans of his alpha before he felt himself being lifted up off the bed.

  Suddenly, his knees were on either side of the alpha’s, and he felt himself sinking down onto Owen’s cock. Lukas moaned and arched his back against Owen’s waiting arms, the alpha’s hands tracing lines down Lukas’ back.

  “Beautiful,” Owen purred as he ran his tongue across Lukas’ chest, planting kisses across the flesh before lying back against a pile of pillows.

  Lukas’ pleading gaze met the alpha’s. He was embarrassed at this new position. A deep red hue covered his face as he placed his hands on Owen’s shoulders to balance himself.

  Owen carefully placed one hand on Lukas’ hip, gripping it roughly. His other hand ran slowly up Lukas’ arm, and he threaded their fingers together once the alpha reached his omega’s hand.

  He looked Lukas up and down before smiling, his eyes full of passion. He pulled the omega’s hips down as he suddenly thrust up into him, causing Lukas’ body to jolt as a blissful moan leaked from his lips.

  “Do you feel it? How deep I am inside you?” Owen groaned as he felt Lukas’ clench around him.

  A small chuckle slipped from the alpha’s lips. “That made you tighten up. Damn, so you’re into dirty talk, hmm?”

  Lukas’ eyes were half-lidded, staring down at the alpha beneath him. His mouth hung open, panting.

  Owen’s warm gaze met his omega’s as a smile graced his lips. His hands gripped Lukas’ hips as he dro
ve him down onto his cock.

  “I’m going to love on you until you can’t think. I’ll mark you and make you mine.”

  Owen slowly rolled his hips up into Lukas at a maddeningly slow speed.

  “I’ll take it nice and slow, waiting until you least expect it, and then–”

  Owen quickly settled back into a rhythm, thrusting up into the omega bouncing on his lap. He pulled Lukas flush to his chest. His fingers danced down Lukas’ spine, flitting here and there as he reveled in the small whimpers and moans. He looked up at his moaning mess of an omega, letting his hands travel down to Lukas’ hips, forcing them down hard.

  Lukas whimpered, lowering his head onto Owen’s chest.

  “Let it all out, sweetheart. I’m gonna fill you to the brim,” Owen purred, his hips bucking as he felt his omega tighten up at his words.

  Pleasure shot through Lukas’ body as he arched his back. He rested his hands on Owen’s legs as he bounced to meet Owen’s thrusts.

  “I’m gonna fill you up, stretch you out, make your body tremble in pleasure.”

  Owen quickly sat up and wrapped his arms around Lukas, one hand threading into the soft hair at the nape of his neck, the other tracing lines up and down his back.

  “Gonna plant my seed in you, make you swell.”

  Owen growled as he buried his face against the curve of Lukas’ neck. He pulled back, looking into the eyes of his omega, looking for any hint of uncertainty as they grew closer to their limits. Lukas gazed back into those blue eyes and moaned, exposing his neck further.

  Lukas saw white as he reached his limit. White seed shot in thin ribbons across their stomachs as he felt Owen throb deep within him. He closed his eyes as he felt a sharp pain on the curve of his shoulder and neck, followed by the silky feeling of Owen’s tongue. At the same time, he was filled with a warm, wet heat from the inside, Owen’s cock deliciously stretching him.

  “Mine. My beautiful omega.”

  Owen’s muffled whisper reached his ears. In a daze, he opened his eyes, planting slow kisses across his alpha’s face.
