3. Chapter 3

It only took one week of dating Kara for Lena to realize that the alpha’s positive attitude was beginning to influence her own outlook on life. She no longer felt self-conscious about her stretch marks after one night when Kara had kissed each one and told her they were beautiful. It was like a weight had been lifted, and Lena found herself waking every day with a smile on her lips and lightness in her heart.

It took two weeks for Lena to notice that Kara answered any questions she asked with honesty, even if they made the alpha blush furiously, and Lena had tremendous fun with that. By week three, it became apparent that even fully out of rut, Kara was still insatiable for her, and just as affectionate on dates without being possessive or overbearing.

They managed to text every day, even during work. More than a few times that devolved straight into shameless sexting, which Lena held no regrets over. She was bold enough to request several dick pics, and was quick to reciprocate with a few candid shots of herself in expensive lingerie. Lena was in a constant state of semi-arousal, and enjoyed telling Kara as much, because the alpha would send a series of texts begging to come over just to take care of her.

Her ego was thriving.

She invited the alpha over whenever her daughter Natalia was staying at Andrea’s, and they would spend half the night talking about everything and anything, and the rest of the time fucking all over the house.

In between their marathon sessions, Lena found out Kara was adopted, and though the alpha had no allergies, she had convinced her adoptive sister Alex that she was deathly allergic to green vegetables. The ruse lasted at least a month during Kara’s childhood, until the family went out to dinner, and Alex caused a scene by throwing a plate with green beans like a frisbee before the waitress could set it down.

“You were devious,” Lena had remarked, thoroughly amused by Kara’s cunning.

“I might still be,” Kara confided with a coy smirk, and then cracked up laughing. “Alex still glares at me if I sit down with a salad in front of her.”

Just as they approached the four week mark, Lena braved the discussion of being mutually exclusive, because her heart couldn’t take the uncertainty any longer. She was already attached to Kara and foolishly thinking ahead to their future. Kara’s enthusiastic agreement resulted in her receiving one hell of a blowjob.

With their one month anniversary right around the corner, Lena took it upon herself to book a fancy restaurant in town to celebrate, and dressed especially for the occasion. Her off the shoulder black dress with the plunging neckline showed off more of her breasts than it concealed. The dark fabric clung to her voluptuous figure and she wore a provocative shade of red lipstick that she had always been too afraid to try after things ended with Andrea. She styled her hair up to keep her shoulders bare, and wore heels she hadn’t put on after giving birth to Natalia.

Strutting into the restaurant was an act of empowerment, because she could smell the interest of every alpha who glanced her way, even though the only one she wanted had yet to arrive. Lena took the liberty of browsing the menu while she waited.

When Kara appeared ten minutes later, Lena had ordered a bottle of wine and appetizers, but the alpha didn’t seem to notice. Kara’s eyes widened at the sight of her, and she all but tripped over her own feet in her hurry to get to Lena.

“Wow, you look amazing. That dress is—god, Lena, you’re so beautiful—” Kara exhaled in a rush, and eagerly sat down to admire the creamy expanse of Lena’s tits, and the dress that was half an inch away from showing her nipples. “Wow—"

“Breathe,” Lena teased, and reached across the table to caress Kara’s hand. “I have plans for this evening and none of them include hyperventilating.”

That immediately piqued Kara’s interest, and she grinned brightly as her eyes narrowed in playful suspicion. “Oh yeah? What kind of plans?”

“Well let’s just say I didn’t pick this place only for the food.”

Granted, the menu at Chuchoter was absolutely delicious, but it was the only restaurant in that part of the city with such long table covers. Lena toed off one of her heels with a subtle smile and decided to give Kara a little preview by running her stocking clad foot up the inside of her leg.

Kara’s face turned almost as red as the wine in her glass, and Lena was privately thrilled to find that the alpha was already hard when her foot rubbed over her crotch.

“So...” Lena murmured, sliding the warm sole of her foot over Kara’s hidden erection. “I think it’s time that I introduce you to Natalia. Would you be okay with that?”

“Sure, yeah ,that would be—” Kara’s voice cracked, her tone high pitched, then deep as she tried to breathe evenly. “That would be great. When uh, when were you…?”

“I was hoping you’d be free to come over tomorrow.” Lena grinned at the way Kara tried to focus on the important conversation, and perhaps she should have stopped while they discussed the ins and outs of it, but she couldn’t resist fooling around. Kara brought out her wilder, unabashed self, and Lena wondered if it was in part because the alpha was so wonderfully sweet natured and unthreatened by her assertiveness.

She stilled her foot when a waiter ventured closer to drop off the main dishes, and saw the appreciative way Kara’s eyes lit up when she was given a steak. “Would noon be okay? I have a job in the morning, but then I’m free all day.”

“Perfect, I have Natty until five, and then she’s spending the rest of the week with Andrea,” Lena casually murmured and seized the opportunity for more intimacy. She switched seats to sit side by side with Kara, and flattened a napkin across her lap. She used the motion to covertly slip her hand under the long table cloth, and fondled Kara’s cock as she changed the subject. “I’m due my heat in the next few days.”

“Should I cancel my appointments for this week?” Kara immediately offered and began eating at a comical speed, but having a mouthful of steak did nothing to stifle her moan.

Lena deadpanned when another waiter came by with a bottle of wine and she hummed, “Yes, please fill me up,” with a provocative lilt to her voice, all while her hand was still on Kara’s cock.

Her touches were keeping Kara stiff, and she unzipped the alpha’s trousers before the waiter had even wandered off.

Lena gave a gentle tug on Kara’s erection as she sipped at her wine without giving away what she was doing under the tablecloth.

Kara turned red in the face from Lena’s bold actions and she compensated by smiling until they were alone again.

“I don’t want you to cancel work just because of my heat, but I would like it if you planned to spend every night at my place,” Lena admitted. She began stroking Kara’s cock, beginning low down on the shaft and sliding her hand right to the tip.

“You can count on it.” Kara breathlessly whispered, her fingers curling tighter around her fork in pleasure.

The alpha kept her eyes on her plate in an attempt to appear normal and bit at her lips when Lena rubbed her thumb along the sensitive underside near the head of her cock.

“Well, I’m very happy to hear that,” Lena lilted, delighting in every soft gasp and subdued moan that Kara tried to hide. She smoothed her palm over Kara’s shaft and smiled when she felt the alpha’s sticky pre-cum smear across her fingers. If she continued to play with the tip of Kara’s cock, the alpha would soon make a mess of her hand.

Lena actually loved how sensitive Kara was, and how fast she could come, though she sensed it still embarrassed the alpha from time to time. The truth was it made Lena feel sexy to be desired so completely that Kara couldn’t contain her excitement. Not even a little.

With quicker strokes and some special attention to the broad sensitive tip, Kara all but trembled in her seat and struggled not to rock her hips.

“I wanted this dinner to be special,” Lena murmured with a coy glance through heavy dark lashes, “are you enjoying it so far?”

“S-uhh-” Kara barely managed to choke back a moan, and she dropped her knife onto her plate to splay her hand against the table for leverage. “SomuchLenathankyou.” She blurted, almost as fast as Lena’s hand was working over her cock out of sight.

“Are you done, or should I let you finish?” Lena queried. She wasn’t talking about the steak as she squeezed her hand around Kara’s throbbing shaft suggestively.

“Yes,” Kara rasped, her lips parted in a silent groan as her breaths became shallow.

Lena didn’t need to be told twice, and deftly slipped her free hand into her clutch purse to discreetly pull out a pair of sexy panties. She allowed Kara a brief glimpse of the lace before she snuck them under the table to wrap around Kara’s shaft. The alpha’s jaw was practically on her plate and her cock felt even harder as Lena teased her with the delicate fabric.

“So it turns out I’m a little devious myself,” Lena lilted, her lips curling at the private joke as she jerked Kara firmly out of sight.

“Are those your—?” Kara half rasped, half groaned, and when the nearest waiter stopped to give her a curious look, she flailed at her steak and blurted, “Best I’ve ever had.”

“You better be talking about me.” Lena murmured under her breath and squinted at Kara for a fraction of second just to watch the flicker of panic in the alpha’s eyes. She cracked a wicked smile and caught her lip between her teeth, and Lena knew exactly where Kara’s thoughts went as she stared at her mouth.

She felt the strong throb as the alpha’s orgasm hit, watched the way Kara’s eyes became unfocused dark pools of lust, and grinned when she caught the way Kara was holding onto the table to anchor herself.

"Happy one month anniversary, darling," Lena whispered, while Kara emptied into her panties with five strong hot pulses. Lena gave her a moment to recover before she wiped her off and then tucked her panties into her clutch. “I’ll be right back.”

Pleasurable shudders still went through Kara’s shoulders as she gaped at Lena, who gave her a wink and hurried to the bathroom. She never thought she would be the type to do such filthy things in public, and it startled Lena just how into it she was when she entered a stall and slid on her panties filled with Kara’s seed. She took a moment just to enjoy the sensation, and then shocked herself by taking a picture for Kara.

Lena waited until she was walking through the restaurant to send it, and caught Kara’s wide eyed reaction.

“See something you like?” Lena queried in amusement, and settled back in her seat while Kara struggled to maintain her composure.

“I can’t believe you just-I mean—that—yeah—Happy anniversary, ”Kara finally managed, and her flushed cheeks and adorable smile were so endearing that Lena leaned over to kiss her.

They forgot all about the food as Kara’s hands pushed into her hair and their mouths collided, hungry for things that weren’t on the menu. Lena sucked on Kara’s bottom lip and teased her tongue, and when they separated, she noticed they had an audience at the neighboring tables.

Lena lowered her voice as she pressed on with the discussion she had started prior to indulging her thirst for Kara. “I think you should be forewarned that it’s been a while since I’ve gone into heat. After having Natty, I decided to use suppressants, because I didn’t expect there to be another alpha in my life.”

Most omegas never found another mate once they had been claimed and discarded. Alphas often didn’t want an omega who had been previously used. It was all territorial and jealous bullshit, and Lena was still struck by the way Kara never looked at her differently. That was why she had decided to stop taking her weekly suppressants.

“I have this feeling that my heat is going to be a particularly strong one, so we should probably talk like responsible adults about what that means,” Lena explained, though she couldn't help how she fiddled nervously with the silverware in front of her while she admitted that to Kara.

The alpha perked up as if she had just delivered the best news and reached out to entwine their fingers. “Lena, I’m sure I can handle whatever situations arise,” Kara insisted with a reassuring smile.

“With all due respect, Kara, you don’t know what I’m like when I’m in heat,” Lena gently expressed and gave Kara’s hand a squeeze. “The last few times I was so affected, I ended up pregnant.” She was ashamed to say it, to be so blunt regarding the conception of her children, especially when Andrea had made it a point to throw it in her face that she had always been desperate. There was some truth to that statement, at least when Lena was in heat.

Kara’s subtle head tilt revealed that she wasn’t put off by that, even as she chewed her lip. “I’ll make sure we’re careful. Whatever you need, I’m here for you.”

“Whatever I need?” Lena reiterated, her inner omega content to latch onto that promise and all that she hoped it would mean when Kara nodded.

Lena discovered that Kara was an alpha of her word when she showed up the next day withseveral bags in hand.

Kara looked sheepish when she spotted Sam in the kitchen, and Lena raised a dark eyebrow at the bashful way the alpha avoided her eyes.

“So I uh, I got these for us,” Kara murmured under her breath, and Lena almost inhaled her own tongue when she glanced at the contents. One bag was entirely filled with variety packs of condoms and heat soothing patches, and the other was stuffed with cartons of ice cream and sports drinks.

“That’s very sweet of you, Kara.” Lena whispered, huffing at the wonderful aroma of the alpha’s scent. She was about to ask if Kara kept the receipts for the condoms, then thought better of it when Kara kissed her cheek under the watchful eyes of Sam. Her heat was only beginning and she was already feeling the pull of it.

Lena accepted the bag with a bright blush to her cheeks, and refused to meet Sam’s curious gaze as she rushed to hide it in a cupboard out of Natalia’s reach.

“Whatcha got there?” Sam asked with a playful squint of her eyes, and Lena waved her off with a smile and quipped, “An entire bag of none-of-your-business.”

They put away the pints of ice cream and the sports drinks without Sam commenting, and then Lena took Kara’s hand and led her over to the living room, where Natalia was serving tea to a variety of stuffed animals.

“Natty, this is Kara,” Lena said simply in introduction, and squeezed at Kara’s hand as a bout of anxiety sped up her heart. If her daughter didn’t like Kara, she would be devastated, and it would complicate the hell out of their relationship. “She’s a very special friend of mine. Do you want to say hi?”

“Hi!” Natalia immediately greeted Kara with a big, cheerful grin. “We’re having a party.”

“You are?” Kara asked earnestly and sank to her knees to get to Natalia’s eye level. “Can I join in?”

“Sure! You can fill the cups,” Natalia encouraged, and Lena observed as Kara picked up the empty little plastic teapot with an exaggerated struggle.

“Oh, that’s heavy! You must be really strong, huh?” Kara exclaimed.

Natalia laughed as Kara pretended to pour tea for everyone, and then set the teapot down to pick up her own tiny cup. Kara paused before she took a sip of the invisible liquid and set the cup back down.

“I forgot the sugar,” Kara said with wide eyes, and Natalia gasped and pretended to scoop some into her cup.

“Can you keep a secret?” Natalia asked after she finished her tea, and Kara nodded as she glanced at Lena, who watched in amusement.

Natalia brought her hand up to hide what she was saying and whispered loud enough for everyone to hear, “I’m a mermaid.”

“Wow,” Kara gasped, and brought her hand up to whisper back, “Does that mean you can teach me how to swim?”

Natalia giggled and nodded, and Kara pointed to Lena as she suggested, “We should ask your mom if we can play in the pool, then.”

“Can we?” Natalia asked quickly, her big hopeful eyes melting Lena’s heart.

“Let’s get your floaties,” Lena murmured and held out her hand for Natalia to take it. Her daughter leapt to her feet with a squeal of delight and raced out of the room with Lena chasing her.

They returned a few minutes later, with inflatable bands secured around her daughter’s little, arms and Natalia rushed to meet Kara who lifted her into the pool.

Lena reclined on one of the lounges next to Sam, who grinned knowingly at her but never said a word. It surprised Lena to hear snatches of her daughter's conversation and how effortlessly Kara entertained Natalia with stories and games of pretend.

Kara swam around the shallow end of the pool in search of lost ships and treasure and Natalia giggled the entire time.

Lena must have been staring at Kara with dreamy eyes, because Sam raised her sunglasses as she glanced over at her and almost spilled her martini in shock. “Oh god, you’re going to let Kara knock you up, aren’t you?”

Lena wanted to argue with Sam, but it was hard to do it when her best friend had a knack for reading her.

“Don’t jump to conclusions,” Lena demanded and stole the drink from Sam’s hand to take a sip. She rarely drank when her daughter was around and hadn’t bothered to mix one for herself. “So what if Kara happens to be wonderful with children? That doesn’t mean I’m going to jump into bed with her tonight and let her put another one in me.”

She hoped Sam would contradict her, if only because having a dispute would call to mind all of the reasons she shouldn’t have unprotected sex with Kara. There was an entire bag of condoms in her kitchen and she had every intention of using them, but maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t.

“Tell that to your face,” Sam retorted as though she knew what was on Lena’s mind. “In all the years I’ve been your friend, I never once saw Andrea play or entertain the kids. It’s always you who dotes on them, and this, what’s happening right now?” Sam motioned to the pool, where Kara was swimming around with Natalia on her back, directing where they should go. “This is why you’re going to be begging her to put one in you the second your heat really kicks in.”

Lena wanted to be offended by the terrible accuracy of her friends word’s, and for the most part, she managed to rebuff them with a scoff. “We’ve only been dating for a month, how reckless do you think I am? If I got pregnant, it would ruin our relationship, and I won’t risk that.”

Lena meant every word, and she was almost about to suggest that Sam run out and pick up suppressants to save her from herself when her friend began to laugh.

“Oh honey, do you see the way Kara looks at you? She’s just as dumb and in love as you are.”

“You’re being ridiculous. We’re not at the love stage yet.” Lena hissed, though there was an unmistakable softness to her smile as she glanced at Kara –a flutter in her heart that said she had fallen for the gentle. She wasn’t fooling anybody, not even herself at this point.

“Tell me that again in nine months’ time when you’re calling me to the delivery room.” Sam smirked, and then settled back in her recliner with a deep sigh. She reached out to take Lena’s hand and then after a moment confided, “Teasing aside, it’s good to see you happy again. For a while there, I wasn’t sure you’d ever find yourself after the destruction Andrea left behind. If you really want a future with that beefcake, then go for it, Lena. You deserve to have the life you want, and I like her way better than I ever have Andrea. Plus, she drives a truck, so if she breaks your heart, I can hide her body using her own vehicle.”

“You give the worst advice,” Lena emotionally choked out, glad that her sunglasses hid the way her eyes watered. “What kind of friend tells you to pop out kids with an alpha you’ve only started dating?”

“The best kind.” Sam concluded with a smug lift of her chin, as she took not only her hand back, but the martini that Lena was about to sip.

Lena could feel her heat beginning to affect her feelings, because the more she stared at Kara, the more she thought about their relationship and how much she wanted it to last.

She fantasized about mundane things, like waking up beside Kara and making coffee in the morning, or celebrating their ten year anniversary together. Together she imagined they would have so many kids that Christmas and Halloween would become huge productions. Lena was already certain that Kara was the type to dress up and get into the holidays, because the alpha had shown her photos of when she had convinced her friends to dress up years ago just to see Ghostbusters. She wanted that beautiful chaos for the rest of her life, and all of those absurd daydreams led her to sit down on the edge of the pool.

Natalia eagerly involved her in the game she was playing, and Kara sent her adoring looks that sent tingles straight to her core.

“Mommy, come in!” Natty cried and splashed towards her to plead more effectively. “You can be a mermaid with me.”

“Mommy is going to be a land animal for now,” Lena chuckled and glanced down at the jeans she was wearing as she slipped her feet into the water.

“Which animal?” Natty asked in an interrogative tone and Lena locked eyes with Kara, who also appeared to be waiting on an answer.

Lena could have sworn she heard Sam cough the word cougar, so she blurted out, “Acheetah. They’re the fastest land animal.”

“But Mommy,” Natalia protested with a furrow of her eyebrows that made her look almost identical to Lena, “You don’t know how to run.”

Kara hid a smile behind her hand at Natalia’s remark. “She might have a point,” the alpha admitted with a laugh and eyes that sparkled with enjoyment.

“Oh, well, I take full offense to that.” Lena knew that Kara was just teasing, but she still wanted to prove everyone wrong. She stood up and hurried off to find her swimsuit, though as bad luck would have it, she tripped and fell on one of the stone pavers when she broke into a run. Her shriek as she went down was embarrassing.

“Lena!” Kara yelled, and instantly scooped Natalia out of the pool and hurried over to her. “Lena, are you okay?”

Natalia rushed at her and wrapped her little arms around Lena’s neck, and Lena took a moment just to hold her daughter, who looked as worried as Kara right then.

“I’m fine, I’m fine, everyone – I’m more wounded that you think I can’t run, but apparently you’re right,” Lena laughed and shared a smile with Kara, who bent down to check on her.

“I don’t really think that,” Kara confided with concern in her eyes. “I know how fast you can move.”

Sam choked on her drink and Kara blushed furiously as if she just realized what she had said.

“Let me get a look at you,” Kara mumbled, and gently gathered Lena into her arms to take her to the lounge chair.

Natalia hurried along beside them and hopped onto the lounge next to Sam to observe the way Kara checked over her mom. The alpha ran her hands gently over Lena’s knee and then moved each of her ankles to make sure she hadn’t twisted them.

“Is she gonna be okay?” Natalia asked with a quiver in her voice, and Kara was quick to soothe her.

“All she needs is a really big hug to make her all better. Do you think you can help with that?” Kara asked, and then stepped back to let Natalia cling onto Lena fiercely.

Sam shared a look with Lena and then mouthed not so silently, “Keep her.”

It wasn’t nearly as subtle as it should have been, because Kara blushed again and let out a laugh. Lena rolled her eyes, even as she reached out to take the alpha’s hand. “I plan on it, but really I’m okay. The only thing I bruised was my pride, fortunately.”

Lena got the impression that Kara wanted to offer to kiss her better regardless, and if Sam and Natalia weren’t watching her, she might have encouraged the alpha to carry her up to bed.

“How about we play hide-and-seek instead?” Lena suggested on a whim.

The longer she stared at Kara, the more she wanted to take her knot unprotected, and she thought it would be better if Kara was out of sight.

“Yessss,” Natalia insisted. “Count to ten, then find us!”

The us in question became apparent when she grabbed onto Kara’s hand to urge the alpha to follow her into the house.

“I know the best places to hide,” Natalia informed her with a curt nod, and Lena could only smile at how well they two of them were getting along.

The game lasted ten minutes, with Lena hunting all over for them, and pretending not to notice the very Kara-shaped body behind the curtains – or Natalia’s feet, which stuck out from under the coffee table.

“Sam, have you seen Natty? I can’t find her anywhere,” Lena called out, and ignored the hushed giggles it evoked.

“Oh no, should we look behind the couch?” Sam asked when Natalia poked her head out to see where her mom was searching.

The fun only ended when Andrea called to say that she would be over soon to pick up their daughter.

Lena fussed with Natalia’s bags and tried not to get teary when her daughter stubbornly insisted that she wanted to stay longer.

Andrea bribed her in the end with promises of ice cream, all the while staring at Kara with murder in her eyes.

The second Andrea was gone, Sam drew her into a hug and whispered, “Don’t let that bitch get you down, okay? Have a good time with Kara.”

Lena nodded and consoled herself with the fact that Andrea had at least deleted the security app from her phone and there were new cameras up around the property. As promised, Winn had taken care of all of that, but it was never easy to see her ex, or say goodbye to her children.

She poured herself a big glass of wine after Sam left, and took it into the living room where Kara was waiting for her.

“You okay?” Kara asked and followed Lena’s wandering eyes to where they settled on the floor.

“Andrea is a thorn in my side, always arriving early to pick Natty up,” Lena muttered and sank down in the spot beside Kara. “You know, Andrea had already moved out when I got pregnant with Natalia. At the time I thought I made a mistake. Not because of the baby, but because I had let my guard down for one minute.”

She had been keeping that information a secret, since it made her look very weak-willed to have allowed Andrea back in – but she trusted Kara not to judge. There was a hint of a self-deprecating laugh on her lips and she hung her head as she added, “I was pretty stupid.”

Lena shook off her self-pity and leaned into Kara as she reflected on all of the ways their relationship contrasted with the one she had with Andrea.

It seemed that Kara was the polar opposite of her ex-wife, and Lena couldn’t fathom how she had fallen for Andrea at all. She couldn’t blame it all on youth. Andrea had charmed her way into her life the moment they had met at boarding school. On some level, Lena had known who she was under the surface, but had hoped she was wrong.

“You weren’t stupid, Lena,” Kara uttered, snapping her out of her thoughts. The alpha immediately drew her into a side hug, where they were flush against one another and Kara pressed her lips to Lena’s forehead. “She was your mate, and she should have honored that commitment to you, or divorced you sooner. It honestly seems like she still views you as hers, and that’s not okay.”

Kara’s stern emphasis made Lena glance up to meet her eyes and she was surprised to see such passion in them.

“No?” Lena asked in a soft whisper and her chest began to rise faster when Kara shifted and peered down at the spot where her claim bite had been removed.

Kara bit down on her own lip and Lena could tell that they were both thinking about the same thing. After everything she had been through she shouldn’t have wanted another alpha’s mark, and yet here she was, wet at the thought of having Kara’s on her neck.

“If you were mine, I would honor that forever,” Kara huffed out with conviction and ran her fingers over the sensitive place where her teeth could break skin.

Slick pooled between Lena’s pussy lips and she struggled to breathe as her inner omega tried to coax her into releasing the intimate fragrance to signal that she wanted to be claimed. She resisted just barely, shivering under Kara’s touch, and tried to think of all the reasons why it would be a bad idea. It startled her that she could hardly think of any. “Kara, I—”

“I won’t,” Kara vowed so firmly that Lena glanced up at her in surprise.

A fleeting pang of disappointment hit Lena in the gut and she tried to conceal it with a curious raised brow.

“I mean I want to,” Kara confessed, her tone all gravel and confidence as she cupped Lena’s cheek to add, “Maybe I shouldn’t say that because we haven’t been together very long but I need you to know that I’m serious about you. I would never claim you during your heat, Lena. Not before I meet Sophie and Andy, because I know you’d never make a decision like that without them being okay with it.”

Lena wasn’t particularly proud of the way she flung herself at Kara, attacking her with soft lips and rough kisses while she straddled the alpha’s lap.

“God, you’re incredible,” Lena murmured into Kara’s mouth, her hands taking a journey down her gloriously toned abs and then back up to fist in her still damp shirt. “Half the time I can’t be sure you’re even real.” She rambled, grinding into Kara’s lap when the alpha took hold of her hips to guide her undulations.

“I can’t believe you’re dating me,” Kara admitted with a breathless moan and eased Lena’s shirt off over her head. She seemed mesmerized by the sight of her breasts, and nuzzled into them without reservation.

Lena encouraged her with every rock of her hips, and she rubbed her cunt over the alpha’s forming erection. She whined when Kara’s skilled fingers pushed into her jeans to feel her soaked slit.

“I love how wet you get,” Kara praised, her lips brushing across Lena’s jaw as she rubbed two fingers into her panties to tease at her aching clit.

“Fuck, you’re so good that,” Lena whimpered and curled her hands around Kara’s shoulders until her nails bit into the alpha’s skin. She arched into the sensation, her thighs tensing as she rolled her hips sensually to maximize the friction.

“Your heat is just starting, but you’re already so sensitive, aren’t you?” Kara asked in awe, exhaling hot breath against her neck to evoke a moan from Lena. She tongued at the delicate skin where a claim bite belonged and Lena shuddered uncontrollably, her shaky breath turning to a whine when Kara asked, “If I make you come like this, can I keep these?”

The alpha pulled at her thong with one finger and then let the fabric settle over her cunt. Rubbing her slit through the material was a tease and Lena pleaded for Kara to continue with a tiny whimper.

“If you make me come, you can have whatever you want,” Lena declared with her lips slanted downward in her most serious expression. “A new car, first class tickets to Bora Bora, a pass to my exclusive beach club.”

Those extravagant bribes earned a chuckle and a blush from Kara, who shook her head and refused to take Lena seriously.

It was likely that Lena should have let her joke go, but she had a suspicion that Kara was holding back on some request. Kara stroked two fingers over the line where her thong was sliding in between her pussy lips, and Lena had to concentrate in order to breathe out, “Tell me what you want.”

Kara appeared reluctant until Lena’s soft eyes persuaded her to open up.

“A drawer,” Kara mumbled and moved Lena’s thong just enough to brush over her clit. She circled it languidly, waiting until Lena’s breaths began to hitch, and then finished in a rush, “And maybe someday – you know, if you want – a baby.”

Lena almost missed Kara’s fast jumbled words. She blinked as she processed them and glanced over to where the entire bag of condoms was sitting. She knew her heat was swaying her to follow her true desires and it took all of her willpower not to give in. What would Kara think of her if she acted so rashly?

“I can agree to that, eventually,” Lena finally promised in a sexy, low purr, and the slick that was soaked through her thong showed how much she meant it.

Kara’s alpha responded wonderfully to the proposition with a deep growl.

Lena’s omega made her tip her head back to expose her throat in submission when Kara’s teeth scraped across her skin. She groaned when Kara pushed beneath her thong to plunge into her scorching cunt with full thrusts, and two fingers became three as Lena begged with breathy moans.

She was only starting her heat and Lena was already considering how to persuade Kara to forget the condoms. Knowing that the alpha wanted children with her changed everything, and Lena’s omega was restless.

Despite being together for such a short period of time, Lena’s heart was convinced Kara was everything she had always wanted in a mate. The alpha was kind, and thoughtful, and treated her better than Andrea ever had.

Even out of heat, every inch of Lena hummed in contentment whenever she thought of Kara, but it was too soon to make such decisions. She knew they should wait, yet Kara’s loving scent and protective pheromones wrapped around her and all Lena could think about was presenting her cunt for Kara.

Lena’s slick soaked thighs trapped Kara’s hand between them and she rode her with fevered determination, rubbing her clit into the heel of her hand while Kara pinched at her nipples. She bounced in Kara’s lap, taking her fingers harder while she imagined giving Kara the family she dreamt of having.

Fragments of a life that Lena had yet to live came to light behind her eyes and she saw the happiness they could have, happiness that was attainable if she took Kara’s seed.

“Fill me, please, I’m ready. I need it,” Lena rasped, and sweet unaware Kara slipped a fourth finger into her greedy cunt to rub her deep inside.

Lena shattered beautifully as euphoria burst through her, trembling and gasping.

“I’ll never get over how beautiful you are when you come,” Kara exhaled, keeping her fingers knuckle deep until the last pulsations of Lena’s climax faded away and she melted into Kara’s arms. The alpha kissed over her cheekbones and down to her chin before extracting herself, and Lena grabbed for her hand with a pitiful whine. “Where are you going?”

“I made a promise to be responsible,” Kara reminded her, and stripped off with a grin. Lena was momentarily distracted by the glorious sight of Kara’s muscled body and she made a rather undignified noise when she glanced at Kara’s straining cock. The alpha tore open a box of condoms and selected one of foil squares, and Lena whimpered in distress when Kara sheathed herself in the latex.

Lena’s heat was beginning to go to her head and she slipped three of her own fingers into her insatiable cunt in the hopes of calming her omega. It helped to deal with her out of control hormones while waiting for Kara to soothe her.

Her desperate thrusts did nothing to take away her feeling of deprivation when she glanced at Kara’s covered cock. As soon as Kara was within reach, she spread her legs and raised her hips high to offer up her glistening slit.

“I want you to fuck me until you’re exhausted,” Lena announced and rubbed at her entrance while she calculated the risk of letting Kara knot in her without protection. She placed her hand on Kara’s cock and stroked it with the same fingers that had been inside of her, smearing her essence over the latex.

Kara groaned and bit her lip as she stiffened further in Lena’s hand, and rocked her hips to push her length through her loose grip. She made a throaty noise in agreement and pulled Lena onto her feet like she couldn’t wait a second longer to have her.

“Come here and let me take care of you,” Kara rasped, and helped Lena untangle herself from her jeans that were caught around her ankles.

Kara kicked them aside and pressed soft, open mouth kisses over each of Lena’s breasts. She tongued at her nipples, sucking eagerly until Lena squirmed in place, and then took over with her hands, squeezing and playing with the responsive buds while she lowered herself onto her knees.

Just the sight of Kara so devoted to pleasing her was enough to make Lena’s cunt go into the smallest of spasms and she shivered from the anticipation of feeling her skilled tongue.

Lena brushed her fingers through the alpha’s blonde hair and swallowed back a moan when Kara exhaled warm puffs of breath against her soaked slit. She was teasing her again, and Lena wasn’t sure she could take it. She ached inside, a dull throb that required the girth of an alpha to make her feel better.

“Kara,” Lena croaked out, throat dry and cunt impossibly wet.

“I know, baby,” Kara murmured, running her hands around Lena’s thighs to palm at her ass. “I’ll give you everything you need,” she whispered, and with a quick tug, brought Lena’s cunt close enough to kiss.

Lena was surprised she could even stand when Kara’s tongue slipped between her pussy lips, and her head tipped back as she exhaled a shaky moan.

The cherishing warmth of Kara’s tongue was perfection against her clit and Lena trembled all over because of it. Kara’s lips closed around her in an intense pucker and left her feeling even more sensitive and desperate for sex. She groaned and rooted her fingers into Kara’s hair while the alpha kissed down to her opening and licked away the nectar inside of it. Her hips moved involuntarily and she would have tightened her thighs around Kara if she had been sitting down.

They were both getting intoxicated on the scents that blended between them. Lena’s omega was almost vulgar in advertising her need for Kara’s knot. Her fragrant cunt was in Kara’s face, and her slick in the alpha’s mouth.

Kara’s alpha wasn’t any better, filling Lena’s lungs with a possessive spice to make her more susceptible to being claimed. They were as bad as each other, and Lena craved her all the more.

Kara positioned her on the edge of the couch and angled her face underneath her. Lena was practically sitting on Kara’s strong shoulders and the alpha pushed at her hips until she rocked them freely. She was going to ride Kara’s tongue to orgasm and her legs shook violently from it. Her slow and steady motions came with the most pleasurable rewards as Kara’s tongue glided in between her lips and penetrated her cunt.

Lena lusted after the alpha’s knot as Kara’s tongue caressed her deeper. Her whimpers of satisfaction and heavy breaths made Kara all the more voracious. She felt her pussy begin to spasm and she continued her sensual grind against Kara’s face as her pleasure escalated far faster than she anticipated.

Kara gripped both of her ass cheeks and held her in place as her orgasm almost jolted her off balance. Lena moaned and held onto both of Kara’s arms, desperate to hang on as her vision darkened and the room seemed to tilt from the incredible release. She lacked coordination afterwards and Kara needed to lift her.

“Please,” Lena whimpered, the entire expanse of her inner thighs coated in a deluge of slick. She pressed herself wantonly against Kara the moment the alpha stood up, and let her heat scents beckon Kara the same way she would if they were mates.

Lena knew it was a risk to do that. She could smell the change in Kara’s pheromones and the primal desire that all alphas had to claim an omega as their own. Kara’s musk was bold and rich and unmistakably interested, and Lena couldn’t hold back. She nuzzled into Kara’s neck to inhale deep lungfuls and almost began rolling down the condom when Kara stopped her hand with a growl.

Kara must have understood her torment, because she spun her around and positioned her face-first over the arm of the sofa with a commanding hand on her ass.

Spreading her cheeks, Kara rubbed her warm palms over her backside and inner thighs before cupping Lena’s cunt with reverence. The gentle pressure of Kara’s palm was enough to make Lena shudder and roll her hips, naturally reacting to satisfy the burning needs of her omega. She tilted her ass up for Kara’s benefit and reached around to entice the alpha by parting her pussy lips with her fingers.

Lena showed off her fragrant wet opening and how it clenched in need, and the noise that came out of Kara was wild and raw.

“You’re so beautiful,” Kara husked, and Lena’s cunt reacted, squeezing tighter under the alpha’s lustful eyes. Kara stroked at her opening with an appreciative rumble, and Lena shuddered to a sudden uncontrollable climax when Kara pressed the tip of her cock into her greedy entrance. She whined when Kara pushed into her rippling muscles with a surprised whisper. “Lena, you’re so wet —"

“You’ve never experienced an omega in heat before,” Lena uttered in realization, and some part of her loved that she was Kara’s first.

The alpha’s breathy moan as she sank in deeper echoed through Lena, and she lowered herself further to press her face into the leather. It was an act of true submission, and she punctuated it with a sultry, “I’m yours, Kara, and you can fuck me like it.”

That little bit of encouragement was all it took for Kara to buck into her with determined, rough thrusts that opened up her cunt for faster strokes. Kara’s hands were gentle but firm, curling around her hips to pull Lena back as she pitched forward. Soft unintelligible praises fell from Kara’s lips, and Lena let them rain down on her as she arched and stretched for Kara’s cock.

“Stay down like that,” Kara rumbled, and surprised Lena with a strong hand at the nape of her neck. The alpha pinned her as effectively as a true mate would, and Lena’s omega went into a frenzy. She moaned provocatively and pressed herself even lower, ruining the white leather with her bright red lipstick.

Kara pumped her hips quicker to slam into her, and short grunts passed Lena’s lips, unfiltered and hedonistic as she begged for more. She scrambled to grab onto the cushion and dug her palms into the sofa to push back against Kara’s rough pounding with a satisfied groan. “Yes Kara, just like that. I need it hard.”

“You’re so hot like this, so good for letting me help you through your heat,” Kara intoned, her thighs reddening Lena’s backside as she took her with more force. Between the praise and the delicious girth of Kara’s erection, Lena was on the precipice of coming undone, and she strained as she tried to last longer . There was no way to hold back when Kara’s hand hooked under her hip to finger her clit, and her jaw went slack as she cried out.

Lena’s inner muscles clamped with her powerful release when Kara’s fingers sunk into her hair to gently grip at the roots.

The alpha tugged with just enough roughness to send Lena into a second orgasm before the first ended, and her omega became frantic when she heard Kara’s stuttered breaths.

Kara was close, and that led Lena to forsake her own dignity. “You can take it off, okay? You can finish inside me like usual and we’ll just keep going.”

Kara’s low groan proved that she was just as miserable, and Lena would have been happy about that if Kara hadn’t firmly stated, “We can’t, not while you’re in heat.”

It felt cruel to be denied, yet Lena couldn’t help but admire Kara for the grand display of self-control as she kept her word to be responsible for the both of them. Lena was so used to promises meaning nothing that she almost wept from both frustration and gratitude when she realized that her trust in Kara was well placed.

That did nothing to placate her omega, and she thrashed under Kara with feral intensity as her heat took over her impulse control.

She was a slave to her baser instincts, and despite how she resisted Kara’s attempts to calm her omega with sweet words, she still found the alpha’s resolve wildly attractive.

Lena was at odds with herself and she tried to ride Kara hard enough to work the condom off. She bent low in submission when Kara unleashed a wave of dominant pheromones to make her behave. Lena knew she was a lost cause, and she whined pathetically when Kara let out a groan and bottomed out to fill the latex with hot pulses of seed, instead of her welcoming cunt.

“No, please, Kara,” Lena pleaded when Kara pulled out and immediately slipped the condom off to discard it.

She felt out of her mind and unable to do anything about it except chase after Kara and catch her around the waist before she grabbed the box she had been so adamant they use last night.

Lena contemplated flinging the condoms away, but then Kara tucked the box under her arm and scooped her up to carry her off to bed.

“We don’t need those,” Lena whispered in a husky voice that was strained from sex. Her legs dangled over Kara’s arms and the alpha supported her back as she lowered her down onto her bed.

“I intend to honor what I said to you,” Kara replied, and set the condoms down on the nightstand.

Lena got her hopes up when she joined her on the bed without wrapping her cock up. She didn’t care how promiscuous she looked when she flung her legs open for the alpha, and her shuddery excited breaths filled the space between them. Lena reached for Kara with hungry, grasping hands, and she shivered when the alpha nipped at her neck.

“And you did, you’ve shown me I can trust you,” Lena babbled, pushing Kara’s hand down to her pussy to feel how extremely aroused she was after their first round. “But now I need more from you, Kara. So much more, and you’re going to give me it, aren’t you?”

Lena’s thirst for Kara went beyond her heat. She was ready to admit that perhaps she skipped her suppressants as an excuse to tap into her deep-seated desires, the ones that she was normally far too ashamed to admit she had. No self-respecting omega wanted to be thought of as easy, and although Lena had gone years without bedding anyone after Andrea, she could imagine what people might say if she was suddenly pregnant and unclaimed.

The fire that burned within her threatened to consume her senses, and she whined, keening and distressed, until Kara parted her pussy lips with three fingers and plunged back inside her sopping cunt.

“I know you want my knot,” Kara informed her, so matter-of-fact that Lena whimpered in shame. “You feel like you can’t breathe without it, but I did some reading last night, and there was a guide on how to help an omega in heat without claiming her.”

Kara massaged her cunt with long, slow strokes while she spoke and spread her fingers to really make Lena gape.

She was surprised to notice that Kara was using four fingers when she glanced down, and was enthralled by how effortlessly her cunt took them. When the alpha twisted them inside her tight passage, Lena groaned and fisted the sheets, and her pelvis rose and fell to accept each leisurely thrust.

“What did it say?” Lena asked after a beat, her mind foggy and limbs heavy with pleasure.

“That I should give you the next best thing, and mark you with my seed.” Kara blushed furiously, and Lena understood why just as the pressure in her cunt began to increase. She partially sat up to watch in fascination as Kara eased her thumb in past the first knuckle, and they both moaned as Lena’s cunt accepted Kara’s hand without resistance.

“Fuck,” Lena hissed, contorting in the bed as she fought the urge to force the rest of it inside herself. “Don’t stop,” she grit out, sweat coating her fevered skin as she trembled. “Make me take it, stretch me the way your knot would.”

It was one of the dirtiest things she had ever said to Kara and the alpha’s cock strained and leaked seed in excitement.

“Hold your legs up for me, Lena,” Kara coached, and used the fingers of her other hand to massage Lena’s swollen clit.

Lena sobbed in relief when Kara’s knuckles pushed into her walls, and rubbed all the right places inside her.

Kara alternated between twisting and thrusting, and she worked her fist deeper into Lena’s obscenely stretched entrance.

“You’re doing so good, baby, how does it feel?” Kara praised when Lena finally took her up to the wrist. The alpha rocked gently to simulate a knot and Lena drenched the bed as her cunt clamped around Kara’s fist.

Lena couldn’t speak, the hot internal spasms as much of an answer as the moans that tore out of her throat, breathy and desperate. She felt weightless, floating in bliss far above her body while still tethered to Kara. It had been so long since she had experienced such fullness during her heat that her body quaked and her cunt quivered around Kara’s fist, pulling her in deeper.

The sight of her so debauched must have been overwhelming for Kara, because all it took was Lena’s fingers caressing the shaft of her cock to provoke a spontaneous release. Kara aimed for her cunt as she shot thick jets of seed, and Lena rubbed it like a balm over her lips where Kara’s hand remained.

They stayed like that for a while, with Kara soothing her omega until finally her muscles relaxed and the alpha ever so gently pulled her hand free. The loss it brought Lena was hard to articulate, but she was of clear mind when she stopped Kara from reaching for another condom.

“Wait, Kara, listen. It’s me talking, not my heat,” Lena argued and opened her bedside drawer to dig around in search of some birth control pills. She had gotten the prescription filled long ago, and while she had stopped taking them due to the negative side effects, she was willing to start again if that meant Kara could knot in her during her heat.

“Look, see? I can take these,” Lena announced and opened the cap on the bottle to show Kara. She put two of the pills on her tongue and swallowed them dry before Kara could reason with her. “There.” She grinned, and caught Kara by the face to draw her into a sensual kiss that left them both wanting more. “Now we don’t have to worry. I’ll reimburse you for the condoms.”

“What? No.” Kara laughed, her stunned expression shifting as she frowned and shook her head. “Lena, I don’t want your money.” Kara sighed, and the way she looked at her with such wonder and adoration caused Lena to sway slightly on the bed.

Kara’s cock was already standing to attention and the tip beaded with pearlescent arousal. Lena rubbed at it with her thumb and kept her hand wrapped around Kara’s thick length when she glanced coyly up at the alpha. “What do you want, then?”

It was hardly a secret.

They had been tip-toeing around it all night, so when Kara’s eyes landed on her neck, Lena tipped her head back seductively to let her look. Their mutual longing radiated between them and Kara moved to spread Lena out on the bed.

“You know what I want,” Kara murmured against her throat, dragging her lip over Lena’s racing pulse right where her teeth should go.

“Tell me,” Lena demanded breathlessly, her chest heaving as she imagined the sting of the bite.

It would be so easy to seduce Kara into giving her what she wanted. She had done it already, but she wouldn’t do it now. Not when Kara had made it clear that she wanted to respect her and meet the rest of her kids first.

“You,” Kara confessed, her lips brushing against Lena’s as the broad tip of her erection pushed into Lena’s cunt. “Only you.”

The word love might have tumbled out of Lena among a chorus of moans when Kara plunged into her, and maybe she would say it more clearly when Kara wasn’t thrusting like it was the only thing keeping them alive.

She clung onto the alpha’s strong shoulders and moaned as her cunt stretched to accommodate Kara’s fast expanding knot. The size was so much bigger than her fist, like Kara had decided to claim her as a mate, even without a bite to prove it.

“Kara,” Lena gasped, clutching the alpha to her in surprise while her body submitted to the huge bulge. There was no way it could fit, but as the air sweetened with a scent she had only ever released once in her life, Lena’s cunt relaxed and a flood of endorphins rushed through her veins.

The euphoria of being opened so thoroughly eclipsed the worry of getting pregnant when Kara pushed inside her so deeply she hit her cervix.

Lena cried out when the alpha refused to let the knot take hold, and pulled out just to force it back in until Lena’s cunt could take it faster.

“Oh fuck, Kara, keep going,” Lena groaned when Kara hooked her arms under her knees and raised her cunt up higher. The sopping noise of her hole being stuffed, combined with the exquisite pressure stole the breath from Lena’s lungs. Kara was relentless, drilling into her rosy cunt with deep lunges until the mattress was damp with their mating.

“I love you,” Kara whispered, unable to contain the possessive scent of her alpha as they rutted.

Lena’s omega submitted to it so eagerly that she exposed her neck and allowed the alpha’s lips to latch onto her throat.

Kara wouldn’t bite her, but the wonderful sting as she sucked on that special place was enough for Lena and her powerful orgasm dragged Kara into one of her own, filling Lena’s eager cunt with more seed than she could take.

She came so many times that night that everything went a little hazy.

By some miracle, Kara managed to exhaust her long before she lost stamina herself, and the alpha soothed her by staying deep inside her heated cunt while she dozed.

They both knew the gamble they had taken by relying on the pills, and when Lena asked her in a moment of panic if she regretted what they had done, Kara was quick to reassure her that she didn’t, and would do it all over again.

Lena still wasn’t convinced that Kara was real, but she was absolutely certain that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her regardless.
