I'm going take Win into new apartment.""Oh.""It's not a problem, right?" Alex asks softly when that is the only sound Mike makes."No. I mean, there's no rule that says the boos has to... Has to live on-site. Is there?" Mike inquires, sounding as if he is hoping there is something along the lines. As if he finds the idea a little unsettling."No, there isn't. I checked," Alex murmurs. He understands why Mike would feel upset about the change. He knows he is going to miss having his brother, sister and all his boy's around him all the time. But Alex has already made up his mind. "Just, um... don't be a stranger.""Can't even if I wanted to Mike," Alex mutters with a straight face before placing a hand on Mike's shoulder, smiling. "You're my brother," he says sincerely, "wherever I go, you're right there next to me.""I'll hold you to it," Mike warns before pulling him into another bone-crushing hug.Alex finds himself miraculously free of work only after a couple of hours since his
"Ready, son?"Sebestian's Will gentle nudge brings him back to the present. There is some sort of music playing in the background. He doesn't recognize the song or the words, but the dulcet melody of it is beautiful, uplifting and beckons him with promises of hope and love. The butterflies in his stomach flutter a little as excitement flows through him. This is really happening. All of a sudden, he wants to run down the short distance to where the Priest is waiting. He wants to get married already.He takes a deep breath and settles himself as best as he can before looking at his father with a smile. "I am." That is apparently the signal the little Omega before them has been waiting for. Maggi shows him exactly how seriously she takes her duties as their flower girl by summoning flower petals out of thin air to sprinkle them all over as she leads the way. Some petals land on the walkway while others gracefully land on the crowd. Some shake loose wings and take flight to gather arou
When Alex turns back, Win is smiling at him, his hand held out, "Will you dance with me, my darling?"Alex usually doesn't like to dance. He despises the feeling of too many gyrating bodies in close proximity and constantly having to dodge stray limbs. He's also not very confident about his dancing skills. He is a soldier born and bred, with a well-developed range of fluid motion and flexibility, and he's pretty sure he can move gracefully to follow a beat. But he has never been inclined to test those theories like his siblings. Well, until now, that is. He cannot possibly decline when his husband looks at him with that particular sparkle in his eyes.He slips his hand into the waiting one and lets himself be led. The music changes the moment they step into the spacious arena. The crowd parts just enough to make space for the newlyweds at the center. A slow song starts playing, and Alex thinks it sounds familiar until he remembers the beautiful melody that's been playing during their
A small voice reminds Win that it's not very nice to leave his own party unannounced. It's irritating because he doesn't think he can wait another second without falling into Alex arms, to get the chance to finally indulge in those deep, secret pleasures they are yet to discover."Don't worry," Alex whispers knowingly and his husky chuckle sends another electrifying spark of excitement through him. "Mike knows. He'll take care of the guests."Win's back hits the wall of their bedroom even before the door has fully close behind them. Alex long fingers wrap around his wrists in a tight grip to hold them above his head. His torso is flushed against Win, and he loves the delicious weight of his Alpha effortlessly pinning him in place.Win's gasp is swallowed by Alex mouth on his own, rough and demanding. Win kisses back with eager passion, chasing the feel of those warm lips, nibbling teeth and insisting tongue. Kissing Alex is heady and exciting and Win always gives himself fully over to
Soon, the bedroom is filled with the sounds of Alex grunts, Win's hitching pants and slaps of their straining, sweaty bodies. The pace the Alpha sets is relentless, finally giving in to his own needs and taking what is being eagerly offered. Win trusts back with equal vigor, his entire body alight with sparks as Alex nails his prostate the best way possible.He lets out a squeak when he's abruptly lifted off the mattress from his sprawl by an arm that snakes between his chest and the bed. When his brain catches up, Win realizes that he's now on his knees, with his back flushed against Alex chest. The new position lets Alex cock slide in even deeper, and he lets his head fall back on the Alpha's shoulder and moans."So perfect..." Alex murmurs against his ear and Win trembles. The Alpha has one arm wrapped securely around his chest and the other hand wrapped around his cock. Win is well and truly trapped and can't do anything but dig his own fingers in on the Alpha's thighs that are br
Brandon's doesn't need the words to understand how torn he feels, stuck between his work and obligations and the need to help his friend. He sends a wave of assurance through his scent, letting Win know that he's prepared to go by himself."I'll try to find out about what's happening," Win offers the assistance he can, "Any information on the ways we can help her get back. Maybe there's something with Will's help.""Okay," Bradnon flashes a bleak smile.Before they could talk further, however, the door behind them groans open, startling them both. When they turn, they are greeted by Brandon's sister, Rain, already dressed in her work uniform, her hands planted firmly on her hips and wearing a frown on her face."What's going on?" She demands the moment she locks her gaze with them."Rain," Win says, patting the wooden floor next to him, "Sit down for a bit, will you?"She closes the door behind them and drops next to him without a word, already having figured out that something was ho
"Hunter?" Alex calls out to the hunched form on the floor."Got stabbed on the thigh by one of the metal-like things, sir," he pants, clutching at his leg. Alex can see he's trembling too, small tremors running down his entire body. "It kinda b-burns.""He's got a temperature too, Alex," Scarsbury is holding his shoulder, the back of her left hand flat on his forehead, "Poison, I think." "Take him back," Alex orders. "Wrayburn, go with Scarsburry."The two of them haul Hunter off the floor gently and support him in their middle. They take off at a fast jog, Hunter hobbling along. Alex figures it'll take them ten minutes to reach the base.Alex turns back to take a look around the area. The atmosphere is saturated with the sharp scents of brimstone and ichor. The rift in the sky is still there, glowing faintly against the void sky. The air around them is still cold, heavy with the malignant aura that makes their sting in warning."Another wave is incoming. Get ready," Sherman announce
Jenny, Alex on and only aunt and the best doctor according to him, is sitting at the edge of their bed, studying Alex still form with a frown. She has just finished scanning him from head to toe, and to her great consternation, she can't seem to pinpoint what is wrong with the Alpha. Win is sitting on the bed on the other side, next to Alex, his limp hand cradled in Win's own. The sleeping Alpha is still pale and drawn, but he doesn't have a nosebleed anymore. Jenny and Win both are waiting, confused and a lot worried, for him to wake up on his own.Alex surfaces gradually as if he's only waking up from a deep sleep, not a sudden loss of consciousness. His face scrunches up as he stretches lazily, and blinks awake to see aunt Jenny hovering close to his face. "Hey, welcome back to the land of the living," Jenny announces loudly when the Alpha flinches in surprise, "Or close enough.""What?""How are you feeling?"Alex appears to be thinking about it for a moment before his brows dra
