Jay gave him a coy little smile. “You think so?”
“Mm. Soft and sweet, just right for an omega in heat.”
Jay’s eyes grew heavy-lidded, and he held a hand over his lower belly. “It aches,” he whispered.
Alexei let out a harsh breath. “Does it?”
Jay nodded eagerly.
“Show me.”
Jay, never shy about his body—and God, why should he be?—promptly scrambled onto his hands and knees, ass up. Presenting, Alexei had read. Presenting so Alexei could breed him.
Alexei had to grip the base of his cock hard at the thought. Why was this turning him on so much? It wasn’t his first, or third, or even thousandth time, having Jay on his hands and knees in front of him. But the thought of Jay needing him—reallyneedinghim—so desperately that he would be in pain without him, driven so mindless with heat-induced lust he’d be begging?
It tickled just right at Alexei’s own need—to be anything and everything to his mate. To give him exactly what he craved, every minute of every day, for the rest of eternity.
He shifted until he was kneeling behind Jay in the nest. “You need your alpha to make it better, baby?” He palmed Jay’s ass, sliding his fingers down that cleft. And sure enough, Jayhadbeen busy in that bathroom. “You’re wet, kitten.”
Jay peered over his shoulder, looking up at Alexei through dark lashes. “It’s slick.”
Alexei slid his fingers back, rubbing them together, unable to keep a few stray drops from landing on the nest. Jay had clearly gone overboard on the lube in order to imitate an omega’s natural reaction to heat. “Dripping for your alpha, are you? What a needy little thing you are.”
Jay wiggled in Alexei’s hold, wordlessly asking for Alexei’s fingers to return. “Can’t help it.”
“Because you’re in heat?” Alexei asked.
“Yes. I need you,” Jay whined. “I’m empty, and it hurts.”
He was either an amazing actor or he’d gotten himself so worked up the desperation was real. Alexei was betting on the latter. His poor, horny little vampire.
“Where does it hurt, baby?” Alexei slid a finger back into that dripping cleft and straight into Jay’s hole. It went in easy. His mate had prepped so very thoroughly. “Here?”
Jay nodded desperately, his head hanging between his shoulders. “Need to be filled.”
Alexei pushed in another finger. “Like this?”
Jay shook his head now. The back of his neck was bright red. “Not enough. I need—I need an alpha’s knot.”
“Mm.” Alexei scissored the fingers inside his mate, palming a plump cheek with his other hand. “You need to be fucked, don’t you, baby? Need to be bred.”
“Yes,” Jay pleaded. “Need you to put your pups in me.”
Jesus. Alexei withdrew his fingers with a curse, draping himself over Jay’s body, guiding his cock to that dripping hole. Jay’s inner muscles contracted around him as he bottomed out. Like he really did need it. Like his body craved what only Alexei could give him.
Alexei bit at Jay’s pink ear, withdrawing his cock excruciatingly slow. “Gonna fuck you full of my cum, baby. Is that what you need?”
“Yes, alpha.” Jay wiggled his hips back, trying to chase Alexei.
Alexei held him in place with one hand on his lower back. “You going to be my good, obedient omega?”
Jay stilled, and then his muscles relaxed. Like he was giving in. Giving in to his alpha. “Yes, Alexei.”
So fucking perfect. Alexei rewarded him, thrusting back in with one smooth glide. “That’s good, baby. Let your alpha take care of you. Let me give you exactly what you need.”
He set a brutal pace. There were times when Jay wanted him to be sweet, to take his time, to worship his body with soft touches and gentle kisses.
Now was definitely not one of those times.
