“Can I knot you?” I asked, we didn’t do it very often as it took an obscene amount of time for my knot to deflate but tonight I wanted to be as close as I could get to Owen.
“Of course.” Owen replied breathlessly and I knew better than to ask twice. I paused my thrusts for a moment and flipped Owen over and pulled his ass up so that he was on his knees with his head in the pillow. I slid back inside of him all the way to the hilt, my quickly growing knot bumping at the entrance to his ass. Taking up the brutal pace that I had previously been doing, I began to thrust again, pleased at the muffled moans I could hear coming from my beta. Because he was my beta after all.
Finally I pushed my knot against the entrance of his ass until it slipped inside. The sheer pleasure of all of the sensations that came with knotting someone made my head swim as my knot inflated just inside of his asshole, trapping us together.
“Oh shit, oh shit.” Owen chanted and I knew he was about to cum again. I thrust as much as the knot would allow and felt a tingling in my teeth. It was now or never.
Grabbing Owen’s shoulder I pulled him up until we were both kneeling upright on the bed, his back flush with my chest. As my balls tightened I pinpointed the spot I wanted to mark and sank my teeth into the soft flesh on his shoulder, cumming inside of him as he shouted. Everything seemed to go white and fuzzy after that, my whole body was buzzing as we flopped down onto the bed breathing heavily.
I instinctually began to lick the mark, soothing away the blood that my teeth had drawn. As I gave the mark attention something seemed to unfurl in my chest—a sort of awareness. Then, I could feel it, the overwhelming feeling of love that seemed to radiate off of my beta.
“I can feel it.” I choked out in a croaky voice, trying not to cry.
“Mhm,” Owen said sleepily as he blindly reached behind him to stroke my cheek, “I told you you big dumb idiot. I love you.”
I pulled him in close to my chest and buried my nose in his neck, “I love you too.”

This day had completely worn me out. Between dealing with the intruder and having a come to Jesus moment with Leon I was ready to go home and gather a beautiful omega into my arms and cuddle her until I wasn’t tired anymore.
“Shannon?” I pushed the intercom on my desk, “Can you field the rest of my calls? I’m heading home early.”
“Sure thing Mr. Zhao. Would you like me to call a car for you? I noticed you didn’t drive this morning?”
“Please and thank you.” I’d been at the office since two o’clock in the morning after driving in with Gage so that he could interrogate our intruder. I’d also been getting strange looks all afternoon as I was still dressed in a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt—normally I was dressed in a three piece suit and didn’t have purple bags under my eyes. But hey, no one was perfect all of the time.
As I grabbed my bag and jacket my phone began to read, I glanced at the caller ID and answered, “Hey Mads, what’s going on?”
“Not much I just wanted to let you know that I’m about to get on a flight to New York—I have a client I need to dress.” I could hear the usual sounds of an airport in the background as she spoke.
“Okay well let me know when you land and keep your phone location on. You know how New York can be.” I hated whenever Madeline flew out of state. I felt more comfortable if I could easily get to her if she needed me.
Madeline scoffed on the line, “OkaydadI will make sure to keep in touch. By the way, how are things going with Eloise?” She asked, moving the subject away from herself in typical Madeline fashion.
“Things are… ah… complicated I guess? I spend so much of my time putting out fires that I feel like I’m falling behind with her.” That was my job in the pack, after all, I was always the one to go behind my pack members and smooth egos and make sure everything was running smoothly. I’d never resented it before but there had never been anything like Eloise on the line before now.
“Hmm, sounds like you need some sisterly advice. Can I give you some?”
“Madeline I think you’d give it to me either way, but sure go for it.”
“Thank you for acknowledging that,” I could almost hear her roll her eyes, “You need to take her to get a cat.”
“Huh?” Out of all of the things that Madeline could have told me to do, getting a cat was not even on the list.
“You heard me. Get her a cat. She spent half of the time I was dressing her sharing cat memes with Tibby and I and the other half telling me about how she’s never gotten to own a cat because SFOFA doesn’t allow pets. That is how you are going to level the playing field between sexy giant Gage and adorably cute Owen.”
“It’s strange that you refer to Gage as a ‘sexy giant’, Madeline. He practically raised you.” I added in with a laugh.
“That may be true but still I know you guys. Take her to get a cat. Oh shit, it looks like my flight is boarding, gotta go bro. I love you!” She said and hung up before I could say anything else.
“Mr. Zhao?” Shannon’s voice crackled through the intercom, “Your car is ready downstairs.”
“Thank you.” I replied and headed for the door, a plan beginning to form in my mind.
“Ric, you know I don’t like surprises.” I grumped from the passenger seat of Ric’s bright yellow sports car. He’d woken me up early this morning and peeled me away from a drowsy Gage. We’d spent every day of the past week near each other, I found myself hating to be away from him for too long which was crazy to me. I’d gone from being alone with just my memories of Link and Tibby for company to being surrounded by people who were starting to really grow on me.
I’d fully expected Leon to throw me out of the house as it was so obvious what Gage and I had done. But he hadn't; he'd just nodded when Gage told him and told us that was our choice. It probably had something to do with the new mark that Owen was proudly sporting on his shoulder. He’d come downstairs the day after Leon had shown up with a panicked look and had shown me the mark with a blissful smile. I’d never seen a bonding mark up close, I knew that Caroline, my counselor at SFOFA, had one from her pack but it wasn’t like I could just go up to her and say ‘Hey Caroline can I see your super intimate bonding mark? For research purposes?”
