Ethan and Leon had a rough first month but as time went on things started to settle into routine. The worst day was the first day Leon went back to work after she had been born but his mothers came by and helped. Louis also stopped by to visit and help out if only to let Ethan get in a short nap or two during the day. It had been a year since they had first met and Leon managed to get him to go out alone to dinner with him, it seemed Natalya had been very good and that she was calmer around Lorain. What worried Leon was that it had been almost four months since she had been born and Ethan was showing no sign of going into heat. Not to say they hadn’t had sex for over a year, no there were several times they had done it. They had been safe about it with condoms and Ethan was now on birth control. It may have been what was delaying his heat after his body adjusted from being pregnant to not and now being on a different type of birth control.

It was just a random morning a few weeks after their one year anniversary of meeting, Leon left in the morning kissing his two favorite people goodbye. Everything seemed normal, but Ethan had felt warm. Worried it might be a cold he had called Lorain to see if she would be able to come over later to watch Natalya. Mark watched him and slowly started to pack away some essential items, clothes, toys, the little doll she slept with that had Ethan’s feathers he’d shed or were accidentally pulled out by her. He really was a very patient father. There were some extra bottles he’d put into the bag. He recognized the signs of Ethan going into heat rather than being sick when he noticed he’d gotten distracted by the dirty laundry pile while he was changing the princess. He called Lorain then Leon as it was clear Ethan was in heat. 

Ethan hadn’t had a normal heat ever, he didn’t recognize the signs, he just found his mat’s scent was suddenly amazing and strong. He wanted to be wrapped up in it; he wanted him to come home and do bad things to him. He was curled up in the middle of their bed clutching his under shirt he’d worn yesterday when Mark stuck his head into the room.

“Master Ethan, I’m taking the young miss to her grandmothers, Master Leon will be here shortly.” He told him.

“Huh?” Ethan was confused, why was Mark taking his baby? “Why? Oh wait, it's because I’m sick… yes that’s fine.” He said dreamily. “Leon should stay away too, but no… I want him with me.” 

“You’re not sick, you’re going into heat.” He told him.

“…Oh…” He said after a moment, finally understanding. He went red as he realized it was true, he had been nesting, the bed had all of Leon’s dirty laundry all over it, he was clutching his pillow and yearning for his mate. They were finally going to permanently bond and Ethan would finally bare his mates mark, no more worry of having to wear a collar when he went out. 

“I’ll leave you in his care.” He told him as he closed the door, the room was full of his pheromones, enough that it even was starting to affect him. He had managed to get Natalya into her carrier without waking her and shouldering the bag he carried her downstairs and was met at the door by Leon. “We’re going to your mother's. He is up in your room waiting for you.” He told him.

“Alright thank you Mark. You be a good girl, my little princess.” He said softly as he leaned down and kissed the top of his daughter’s head, careful not to wake her. Her favorite doll that smelled like Ethan was snuggled up next to her. He watched as they left and then locked the door securely with the bolt and all to prevent anyone interrupting them. He made it halfway up the steps when he smelt it, Ethan’s delicious pheromones. Opening the door to their room he was fully assaulted by them. “Ethan? My sweet little birdy?” He called out.

“Leon! You are home!” He said wiggling out from under the blankets, he had stripped off most of his clothes and was currently only wearing a g-string.

“My, what a beautiful sight.” Leon said his tail lashing his eye dilated, taking in every last inch of his precious mate. He pulled his tie off and tossed his jacket off, Ethan eyed them as he did he could tell he wanted to add them to the collection on the bed. “You won’t need them.” He said releasing his own pheromones. 

“I know what will complete my collection.” He told Leon as he walked over and helped him take off his shirt, his own wetness had grown, his dick was hard and straining against the small piece of fabric in the front. He kissed him deeply and pushed off his shirt and with expert hands started to undo his pants as Leon groped his ass and kissed him back. It didn’t take long for Ethan to have his pants off leaving his mate in only his boxers that had a clear large bulge in them. “It’s my mate, I need you in our bed.” He cooed in his ear.

Leon lifted him up and carried him to the bed, annoyed with his own clothes he lifted the sheets to push them to the end of the bed. “I’m the only thing you are going to need in our bed.” He growled.

“Yes my Alpha.” He agreed as he was put down on the bed.

“On your knees.” He ordered. Ethan obeyed rolling over and then wiggling his ass at him, he could see the wet stain on the thin piece of fabric between his two beautiful ass cheeks. “This is in the way.” He growled as he yanked them down and off. He pulled his own boxers off and then prodded his mates wet and awaiting hole with his fingers. “You’re already soaking wet, were you doing something naughty while waiting for me?” He asked. 

“No, I was just sniffing your clothes thinking of the things you might do to me.” He told him letting out a low moan. “I was waiting patiently for my Alpha.” 

“Well since you were such a good little birdy I guess I should reward you.” He said and before he could agree he suddenly plunged his entire length inside of him filling his tight hole. 

“Ahh! Alpha!” He cried out as he came. It felt so good to have his mate fill his needy ass his whole body shivered with pleasure. 

“What a naughty boy you are coming just from me putting it in, did you want it that bad?” He growled into his ear, he was pleased at what he had done.

“Yesss, my Alpha is filling my ass, it feels so good.” He moaned. 

“I’m about to make it feel even better.” He told him as he slowly started to fuck him. His arms went around him and started to play with his sensitive nipples causing coos and moans of pleasure from his Omega. 

“More, please more, fuck me harder.” He begged moving his hips the best he could. Leon grabbed him by his throat, but not in a painful way but in a dominating way making him stop and arch his back giving him full control over him.

“I will fuck you however I want to.” He growled. Ethan whimpered in pleasure he liked it, he liked how his Alpha took complete control and dominated him. This turned him on even more seeing his Omega submit fully and he began to fuck him harder and faster enjoying the musical moans and whimpers of pleasure. “Don’t you dare come again without me.” He warned Ethan as he could feel him starting to tighten around him. He let out a whimper but obeyed doing his best not to displease his Alpha, but it was hard. “Good Boy.” Leon Growled as he pounded him harder knowing he’d come soon. 

Ethan could feel him starting to knot his whole body trembled with excitement he could feel the feathers at the back of his neck reflexively relax exposing the bare spot meant for marking. Leon let go of his throat and pushed his head forwards completely exposing it and with a growl he bit down and came deep inside him, his knot inflating and Ethan’s whole body trembled as he came as he did. He could feel his mate’s teeth sinking into the soft flesh of his neck the thin organ that laced under it was pierced and his pheromones were deeply seeded inside, he now belonged only to him. Another ripple of pleasure went through his body as this happened and he came again. His whole body felt limp he couldn’t hold himself up, not that he had to as his mate had him tightly in his arms. He turned his face towards him and kissed him deeply as he maneuvered them more comfortably onto the bed.

“My good little birdy, are you alright?” He asked as they laid down. He gently caressed his face as he nodded.

“Yes, I feel so good, I belong to my mate forever now.” He said happily.

“Yes you do.” He said licking his mark making sure he added enough of his pheromone to it, every time he did he felt him tremble with pleasure. “You are going to make it hard to calm down.”

“I can’t help it, my body is so sensitive right now.”

“Don’t worry I’m going to do you again and again today, tomorrow, and for the rest of our lives.”

“Because I am your mate, your Omega, your husband.”

“Yes, you are my soul mate and my husband, father to our daughter and future children, and I will always be your Alpha.”

“I wouldn’t want it any other way.” Ethan told him as he turned and kissed him.

This was how the cat finally caught his bird, and made him his beloved husband and mate for the rest of their natural lives. And maybe into their next ones.
