DONOVAN

It was a new day and I was content that Piper finally forgave me. What was the cost? Making a whole mess of my kitchen, but it had worked. It also allowed me to explain where I was that night, Piper understood and apologized for his reaction, even though it was unnecessary. Jealousy is normal and I was glad he got jealous too. I walked down the stairs and to the dining room ready to eat breakfast with my beloved, but to my surprise, Piper was nowhere to be seen. Genevith walked into the room holding some plates and placing them on the table, when our eyes met she smiled and I smiled back. 

“Good morning, sir.” She said placing a plate in front of me.

“Morning, Genevith,” I said back with a soft smile. “Where’s Piper?”

“Oh, he must still be in his room. Probably coming down now.” She answered and kept placing the table until she was done.

“Okay,” I said, waiting for my mate to come down.

But as minutes passed, I waited and waited, and Piper wasn’t coming down. It was starting to worry me. Richard walked into the room and was confused to see all the food untouched and checked the time because we were supposed to leave soon.

“Sir, why haven’t you eaten yet?” He said with a confused expression. “We are going to be late.”

“Piper hasn’t come down,” I answered with furrowed brows.

“Should I go look for him?” Richard asked, but his wife interrupted him.

“No, dear. I’ll go.” Genevith said to Richard and walked past his husband disappearing in the doorway.

Minutes passed and Genevith returned to the room alone, no Piper beside her. I looked at the woman again; she had a worried expression on her face, making me worry even more. I stood.

“Where is Piper? Why is he not with you?” I asked in a serious tone. 

“Sir. Uhm…Piper he…” The woman sighed and then looked at me with a serious look. “I believe his heat has started, or is about to start.”

“What? His heat?” I realized how I never asked Piper about his heat schedules so I didn’t know if what Genevith was saying was true or not. I needed to talk more about these things with Piper; I’m such an awful alpha for not knowing this. “Are you sure about this?”

“I’m sure, sir. Would you like me to take care of him? As an omega, I have experience dealing with heat cycles.” She suggested but I didn’t want that. As his alpha, I was the one who had to take care of him, and Dorian approved of that. 

“No, I will take care of it,” I answered and the couple gave me a worried look.

“What? But sir, we have to go to work.” Richard said.

“Richard, cancel all my appointments. I’ll work from home until Piper’s heat is over.” I said standing from the table.

“But…” He said but I didn’t let him finish.

“I’m not leaving him alone. He is my mate and I should take care of him.” I said in a serious tone and Richard sighed.

“Understood, sir.” He said and stepped out to make phone calls.

“Sir, wait,” Genevith said, the woman went to the kitchen and came back with a thermos of water. She handed it to me with something else. Pills. Suppressants. “These are heat suppressants, give one of them to Piper. It will make him calm a bit of the heat symptoms and it’s also better if you take some of yours too.”

“Yes, I was thinking about doing that.” I nodded thanking her and walked to the exit of the dining room.

“Oh and sir.” She said again and I turned slightly to look back at her. “Don’t forget to use protection.”

I slightly flushed at her words and walked out of the room and on the way to my bedroom so I could take some of my rut suppressants before I went to see Piper. With my suppressants already taken, I was feeling anxious as I walked to Piper’s room. I took a deep breath before I opened the door, the sweet scent of my mate’s heat hitting my nostrils so hard that it made me dizzy. I had to hold onto the door frame for a moment to calm down, but then I heard someone call my name.

“Donovan…” Piper said between moans and I felt my sanity leave my body for a moment. 

I approached the bed to see Piper and what I saw took my breath away. He was lying on the bed, almost naked, and wearing a blazer I recognized too well. My blazer. The one I gave him the night we met. ‘Oh God/dess, give me strength.’ Our eyes met and Piper let out a moan that made my knees tremble. 

“Piper. I need you to take this suppressant.” I said coming closer to him and handing him one of the pills but he didn’t take it. He was just looking at me with needy eyes.

“Donovan…” He said again in a moan. 

I knew he wasn’t going to take the pill himself so I took the pill in my mouth and some water from the thermos and leaned down on Piper, taking his face between my hands carefully and kissing him, making him drink the pill. When I was sure he drank it I broke the kiss apart and was about to make some space between but something didn’t let me. I felt my back hit the bed and Piper sat on top of me. 

“Donovan…I need you…” Piper said between moans. 

“I know but we shouldn’t. I don’t want to do anything you don’t want.” I said trying to think about something else not to get a boner but it wasn’t working.

“But I want you…” He said again placing his hand on my chest and softly caressing one of my pecs.

“It’s the heat talking,” I said trying not to fall into temptation. Into lust. “I’m sure the pill is going to have some effect soon.”

“But I want you, Donovan. I need you inside me.” Piper said between moans moving his hips and making my groin react to it. My boner gettting harder and harder. 

“But what if you regret this when your heat is over?” I said still unsure but deep inside me I wanted to do it so badly.

“I won’t regret anything. I want you.” Piper said with more need, leaning more towards me and I caught a glance at his bare chest. “Please, alpha.”

‘Fuck it.’

I changed our positions making Piper lay on the bed as I hovered over him and kissed him. He corresponded to my kiss needily, wrapping his arms around my neck and legs around my hip pulling me closer to him. Piper let out a soft moan as our manhoods touched—his bare and hard while mine was clothed. I regretted being fully dressed in a suit at that moment because I wanted to feel him directly. The omega agreed with me as he started to pull on my clothes wanting me to take them off so I did. Breaking apart the kiss and pulling enough space between us so I could take everything off. I felt Piper’s stare as I took away every piece of cloth until I was only wearing underwear. He let out a moan as he was staring at my boner and I flirtatiously smiled taking what was covering it off. 

Piper licked his lips and I hovered over him again, joining our lips in a passionate kiss as I took off the blazer he was wearing and threw it somewhere in the bedroom. I broke the kiss apart again, Piper letting out a soft displeased groan. Now that he was fully naked, I admired all of his body, amazed at the parts covered with scales. The first time I saw him I hadn’t noticed them well, they looked almost like tattoos painted all over his body: neck, sides, shoulders, legs, and more. And finally got the answer I’d been wanting as I touched the ones over his neck. Soft. They were soft and a bit dry. Piper let out moans as I caressed them and I smiled—sensitive spot found. I didn’t wait much to touch them with my lips, leaving soft kisses on them as Piper squirmed and arched his back under me. 

Our manhoods touching—bare this time, making him moan harder and making me groan with pleasure. I continued to kiss all over his neck and went down on his body leaving kisses, no skin or scale left out of kisses. One of my hands went down his body until I approached his entrance, my fingers soaked from all the slick he had down there. I knew it was his first time, he had told me before that he was a virgin and even if he was in heat I wanted to be careful and go slow for his first time. I softly caressed his entrance and started to press a finger in. 

“Ahh…D-Donovan…” Piper moaned at the feeling of my finger as I slowly put it in all the way. I catched one of his nipples with my mouth, kissing and sucking it. 

When I thought he was used to one finger, I introduced another one and another until three of my fingers were inside him. Piper moaned full of pleasure and with one hand tried to reach for my cock. 

“Ahh…Donovan…I want you.” He moaned as he finally managed to grip my hard cock and caress it. “I want you inside me, alpha.”

I pulled my fingers out of him. He was prepared and ready to take me in but the memory of Genevith’s words came to my mind. ‘Don’t forget to use protection.’ Protection. Condoms. I knew I had some somewhere in this room. Maybe in one of the nightstand cabinets. As I looked for the condoms, I felt Piper kiss my chest and stroke my cock with his hand, making it harder for me to concentrate on my search. I was relieved when I found them and luckily enough there were enough condoms for 3 rounds. I made a mental note to send a message to Richard to buy some more for me. Piper saw what I was holding and he frowned, pulling apart from me.

“No. I want you raw.” He said in an angry but needy tone.

“Sorry baby, but we have to use protection,” I said to him, ripping the condom with my mouth.

“But…” He started saying but was stopped by the loud moan he let out as he felt my fingers inside him again. I placed the condom on my cock as I moved my fingers inside him.

Piper arched his back and moaned every time I moved inside him. I took my fingers out and used his slick to lubricate my cock. Settling between his legs, placing my member against his entrance, I looked into his eyes and he nodded giving me the permission I needed. I carefully put pressure against his entrance and thanks to the amount of slick in it and the preparation I had done it went in smoothly. Piper let out loud moans, tears peeking from his eyes, his arms and legs wrapped around me. I didn’t move right away, I wanted him to get used to the feeling of my shaft inside him. 

Being inside him was a sensation I had never felt before. It was an amount of pleasure I never had. It was like my cock fit perfectly inside him and thinking about how it would feel without a condom, made me feel even more turned on. I left soft kisses over his neck and shoulders sneaking in soft bites. Piper moaned softly and after a few minutes,  he moved his hips. So I started moving in and out of his entrance slowly. Pleasure rained over us as moans and groans filled the room as I moved faster and faster, even hitting his spot.

Piper let out a loud moan and his eyes went white as he arched his back and came all over between us. I felt how his meaty walls tightened around me and after a few thrusts, I came. I looked down at Piper, he was a mess, trying to catch his breath. I leaned down and left a soft kiss on his forehead.

“I…” He started saying between breaths and then went quiet again. Making me wonder what he was about to say. I took my shaft out of his entrance and carefully wrapped the condom putting it away to throw later. 

“We should wash ourselves. Let’s go to the bathroom.” I said in a soft tone and Piper just nodded. I stood and took him in my arms walking to the other room. A shower was needed but I knew it wouldn’t be too long until we would get dirty again, but I was prepared for the week we had ahead of us.

PIPER

During the whole week of my heat, Donovan was never away from me. Sometimes I would wake up and see him sitting on a chair at the far end of the bedroom working until another wave of heat would come to me. He fed me and washed me after all our sessions. At the end of the week, I was happy and so was Priya. Sex with Donovan was all I thought and I couldn’t wait for the time we would do it again when I was not under my heat’s influence. But two things bothered me. The first one was that I almost let out an ‘I love you.’, I wasn’t ready to tell him that yet. I was scared about how he would react. 

And the second one was that he would take me in his arms and fill me in all the time but not once he tried to bite my nape. He didn’t mark me. Our bond was content but not completed and it made me wonder.

Why didn’t he mark me?
