Hongjoong whimpered as Jisuk scruffed the back of his neck and pinned him down to the bed. “Please…” Hongjoong cried out, arching his back and presenting his ass shamelessly. His heat was hitting him with full force so all rational thinking was through the window, the only thing on his mind was knot. Breed. “Please, alpha, give me your knot…”
He heard a crude laugh behind him as the alpha pulled away and left Hongjoong completely empty. “You have a nice hole, but a demanding omega like you will never get my knot.” Hongjoong whimpered in pain as he was pushed deeper into the pillows, the alpha putting his complete weight down on his back. “No alpha would ever want to breed a butch omega like you.”
Hongjoong shot up in bed with a gasp, wide eyes searching the darkness of the room, waiting for Jisuk to step from the shadows and degrade him again. He clawed at the sheets and pushed his back against the headboard, his fight or flight instincts making him want to bolt from the room. But this was his room. He took an unsteady breath and drug his shaking hand through his hair. “It was a dream…” He breathed out, hand going to chest as his heart rate began to regulate. “A stupid dream…”
The sob that came out was loud and unexpected. He hugged his knees to his chest and lowered his head, biting back the bitter tears as he tried to collect himself. Why was he having that dream again? It was so long ago. Why couldn’t he just forget?
Hongjoong had been in his late teens when he met Jisuk for the first time. His laugh and brilliant smile had drawn the young omega like a sounding beacon, the way he had taken Hongjoong’s hand and littered kisses over his scent gland all while whispering how special he was. The touch they shared had been electric and Hongjoong could have sworn he’d found his mate in those early weeks. Then Hongjoong went into heat. It was terrible timing, sudden, and he was not prepared. Hongjoong had been working at the market with a friend when he suddenly felt the fever hit. He was sent reeling, black and white flashing in his vision as the cramps clawed at his belly. It wasn’t until slick started to coat his thighs did it make sense his heat had hit early.
He blindly left the marketplace with one thought on his mind. Jisuk. He needed his Jisuk. Hongjoong found on the outskirts of town with Jimin on his arm. Hongjoong growled as he got closer. Had he been in his right mind he would have noticed how close they were, how Jimin’s usually citrusy smell was heavily covered by the musk Jisuk word like a badge of pride. He would have seen the smiles, how Jisuk was looking at Jimin the same way he looked at him. But his mind was clouded from preheat and he needed his alpha.
Hongjoong wasn’t a violent man but his jaguar omega made him extremely territorial, he was known to take what he wanted and he was known for taking what was his without question. That day Hongjoong had pushed Jimin to the ground and jerked Jisuk down to his level to kiss the taller man. “Heat.” was all Hongjoong could get out. “Need alpha.”
He was young and stupid. Jisuk looked so irritated but was easily taken back to the little room Hongjoong had found when he had presented. The omega lost himself as he tore Jisuk’s clothes and pushed him on the bed, forcing his body to take the alpha as slick covered them both.
Hongjoong doesn’t know how deep he was into his heat when he realized the pain in his gut was still intense, that his body wasn’t being filled the way he needed. He had begged and whined and cried for more but Jisuk had held him down and fucked him without mercy. Each time he denied Hongjoong of the knot he needed, the cum he craved from the alpha.
The more he was denied the more he hurt. The pain was like lightning striking his loins, clawing at his womb with so much pain Hongjoong blacked out more than once. It lasted days on end and Hongjoong was too exhausted to fight it. He had trusted Jisuk to care for him but the alpha had laughed in his face when he begged for water, pushed him away when he reached out for a hug and even refused to touch him other then to hold him down and fuck him, adamantly denied him over and over when he had asked for food.
It was torture. But the worst part was when Jisuk had scruffed him and finally came in him, still refusing to knot him and calling him a useless, demanding omega, then walked out on him.
That was 6 years ago. His first and last experience with an alpha and where his absolute loathing towards the dominant gender had started. Since, Hongjoong had moved on to a new city, opened a tavern that was curated for omega and beta patronage, even though he would coldly serve an alpha if they came through his door, and had established himself. He’d also grown a reputation of his intolerance to alphas and they happily kept their distance in most cases.
The lone wolf alpha that sat at the corner of his bar was a rare exception. Mingi sat with his back to the wall, book in hand as he scribbled notes, and a glass of milk within reach. He was incredibly annoying. He just sat there and chatted with the others that came into the tavern but never went out of his way to talk to Hongjoong. Any time he did only led to the two bickering. Yet he it seemed that every move Hongjoong made, the alpha was acutely aware of.
“Hey, alpha.” Hongjoong called out as he cleaned a glass between his hands. He met Mingi’s gaze as they lifted from the page. Those large brown eyes that were so soft for an alpha but Hongjoong knew better. “I’m going to have to start charging you to loiter if all you do is drink milk and doodle on paper.”
Mingi smiled and held up the book to show Hongjoong. The tiny writing scattered among diagrams that the omega had idea what the meaning was. “I’m actually working!” He started excitedly. “We’re starting a new chapter on-“
“I don’t care.” Hongjoong held his hand up. Setting the glass down as he eyes swept over the busy tavern. He was almost at full capacity and everyone either had a drink in hand or was waiting for a refill. In the corner an alpha getting a bit handsy with an omega caught his attention. With his eyes locked on the pair, he continued. “Either buy something other than milk or leave.”
Hongjoong could feel the way the energy around the alpha changed. His tail and ears both drooped as he quietly sat the book down. He reached for his glass and threw the whole thing back in a single gulp. “Can I get a piece of pie with my milk…”
The omega deadpanned before making a show of rolling his eyes as his head fell back. He narrowed his eyes on Mingi before snapping his fingers. There was bustling behind Hongjoong as a little beta by the name of Minjae came over with a wide smile and fluffy black rabbit ears sprouting from his mop of black hair.
“Yes, hyung?”
Hongjoong smiled and patted the rabbit’s head. “Be a sweetheart and get this scary alpha some pie and another glass of milk.” Much like Honghjoong had once, Minjae scoffed, much to Mingi’s embarrassment. Without saying another word, Minjae collected the empty glass and once more disappeared.
The alpha’s lower lip jutted once the two were alone again. “Why can’t you be nice to me like that, hyung?”
“Because I like him.” the omega deadpanned again.
Mingi’s lower lip jutted out more and a frown furrowed his brows. “I want to earn your kindness.” He bent over and grabbed his bag from the floor. Hongjoong watched him rustle around for a moment before pulling out a simple white box with a red ribbon wrapped around it. “Please accept this.”
“I refuse.” Hongjong said as the box hovered in the air. “I don’t want any of your gifts. I’ve told you many times.”
Mingi pouted. “Please.”
Hongjoong pursed his lips before another eye roll slipped and he snatched the box. He yanked the ribbon and tore into the box. “It's my favorite chocolates from the chocolatier on the other side of town!” Mingi exclaimed with a smile and a tiny clap. His ears were once my perked and tail viciously wagging as he pointed out the different flavors. “This one is white chocolate, obviously. This one has a cherry inside. This one is nuget. And this one,” He reached and picked up a chocolate that was shaped like a rose, lifting it and popping it in Hongjoon’s mouth before he could protest. “This one reminds me of you.” The alpha smiled and cocked his head, watching the omega chew.
As Mingi spoke, Hongjoong felt his face heat up as the flavor of the sweet chocolate coated his tongue. Mingi could smell him? He couldn't even smell himself. He went above and beyond to keep his scent hidden. What the hell was he doing?! Why did he so easily allow the alpha to have his way?! He wasn’t big on sweets, and even less fond of being fed, but he let this slide because the chocolate was actually delicious. “I don't have a smell.” He said lightly as he swallowed the chocolate and tried to subtly sniff at his sleeve. He didn’t smell..
“Yes you do.” Mingi leaned in close, not touching Hongjoong but he could almost feel his breath through the material of his shirt as he sniffed. “It's very subtle but you smell of a flower I have not had the pleasure of finding yet.” he hummed as Minjae came around with his pie and milk. Mingi took a huge bite and gave a wolfish grin. “Delicious. This pie and your scent. I’ll get the flower and prove it to you!”
🥧🥛 🥧🥛 🥧🥛
Two days would pass with Hongjoong not seeing Mingi in the tavern. He didn't pay much attention to it but the scent in the place was different. He had furnished the tavern to feel like it was one with nature. Plants and tiny lights covered the ceiling and walls, soft linens were strewn over chairs and across the tables to keep the soothing ambiance. He wanted to create an environment that made his fellow omegas and betas he serviced would be at ease and mingle without fear of alphas imposing their presence and trying to subdue the other subgenders with their pheromones. He had done his best to keep all the air inside the tavern neutrailed of all the scents with all the plants filtering the air, but Mingi’s musky scent had dangerously stuck out in his mind.
He was at the bar that night scrubbing a stain on the counter when the barking laugh of an alpha met him. Hongjoong ground his teeth and let out a gruff growl, his rounded ears flattening against his head as his tail swished back and forth. His omega was on edge and his nerves were frayed from the internal anxiety so he bristled at any inconvenience. It was something he couldn’t settle but he had no idea what was making him feel like this.
Hongjoong had a bottle in his hand ready to throw when a familiar musk hit his nose. He dropped the bottle and turned in time to see the door to the tavern close before a tall man with a mop of brown hair and an excited smile trotted right up to him at the bar. It was Mingi and Hongjoong had to crane his neck to look up at him. Hongjoong never noticed how tall he was because he was always seated on the stool, but with Mingi smiling from ear to ear in front of him, he truly looked like an excited puppy.
“Hyung! Look, I found them!” Mingi reached into his bag and pulled out another box, thrusting it into Hongjoong’s hands and tearing the top off. A beautiful scent immediately met Hongjoong’s nose as he turned his gaze to where Mingi was collecting the tiny yellow rimmed burgundy flowers into his hands. “They’re called marigolds and they smell just like you, hyung!”
Hongjoong couldn’t deny the fact that Mingi’s excitement rubbed off on him as he leaned in to inhale the sweet scent of the flowers offered to him. The omega didn’t know which he was drawn to more, the scent of the flowers or the sweet scent of happiness that wafted from Mingi’s hands. Hongjoong pulled back and met the alpha’s eyes when he felt an odd shiver travel the length of his spine. There was something so genuine and pure about Mingi’s eyes that seemed to knock something deep inside Hongjoong into place and it was unnerving.
Mingi’s smile wavered slightly as Hongjoong straightened and collected the blooms back into the box. “Thank you, pup.” Hongjoong said as he reached out and lightly pet Mingi’s ears. “Come sit. Let me get you your milk as gratitude.”
Hongjoong didn’t know the smile on the alpha’s face could get any wider, but it did and the omega felt thrown off at how brilliant that crooked smile made him. He collected the box tightly to his chest and turned to disappear into the kitchen. When had a heaviness collected in his chest, when had the air gotten stale, why was there a pit in his stomach that made him want to vomit? It was almost like…
He shook his head and placed the box of flowers off to the side as he reached for a glass from the shelf. Such a thoughtful gift should be rewarded accordingly. He poured milk into a sauce pan and sat it on the stove to heat up, then turned and grabbed the box chocolate Mingi had given him days before and pulled out a piece. As the milk began the boil, the chocolate melted in the milk.
Hongjoong felt a satisfied smile curl his lips as he poured the steaming chocolate milk into the glass and proudly presented it to Mingi.
“A special treat for your gift.”
Those wide eyes once more met Hongjoong’s smile with a slack jaw. “Hyung…”
“Try it before it gets cold!” Mingi grabbed the warm glass and took a hesitant sip. Hongjoong saw his eyes go wide once more and took a huge drink, downing half the glass. “Do you like it?”
His tail wagging was all the proof needed but the happy yelp followed by an embarrassed alpha covering his mouth was like a nail to his coffin. Hongjoong found himself once more reaching out to pet Mingi’s ears when a glass shattering caught his attention. The omega looked up in time to see that the same alpha from earlier had swiped the glasses from the table and had taken hold of the omega in his company, jerking him to his feet.
The irritation from earlier clawed to the surface as Hongjoong launched himself over the counter, grabbing the metal folding fan from the back of his pants and pushing his way through the crowd. He didn’t hesitate to grab the omega that was struggling with the alpha and thrust him behind himself. Hongjoong growled as the alpha turned on him and before the alpha could advance, Hongjoong flicked the fan open and struck the alpha hard in the neck. The alpha stumbled back, hand going to his neck where the fan had struck and drawn blood. The growl the alpha let out only angered Hongjoong’s omega.
The two held their ground, Hongjoong with his hair bristled and claws threatening to unsheath as the alpha growled again.
“How dare you draw blood, you disgusting omega!” The alpha snapped his jaws and took a step closer.
Hongjoong flicked the fan again and used it to shield himself from the alpha. “This is my establishment and a safe haven for fellow omegas and betas.” Hongjoong snarled in return. “If you can’t, or won’t, conduct yourself accordingly, you may not return.”
A crowd had gathered around the scene to watch Hongjoong. Most of his clientele were omegas, a large percentage unmated. This was a critical time for him, as the owner, to intervene. He needed those around him to know they were in a safe environment and that any misconduct would be dealt with immediately. There was zero tolerance for violence and he would be damned if an omega was manhandled unwantedly under his watch. Once again he felt an odd clawing just under the surface of his skin and brushed it aside and refused to show any weakness in front of his patrons and even more so now with an alpha in his face.
The alpha turned his eyes from Hongjoong to the omega behind him. “He threw himself on me!”
“Unlikely.” Hongjoong scoffed, turning ever so slightly to softly pat the omega’s hand that was still clinging to him. He noticed Minjae from the corner of his eye and beckoned the beta over. With Hongjoong distracted, the alpha launched himself at the two omegas but Hongjoong was faster, flicking his fan to strike the alpha again, this time on the opposite shoulder. “Keep your distance.” He growled with acid in his voice. “Collect your things and leave. You are no longer welcome here.”
The alpha let out a deeper growl then before and swiped out at the fan attempting to rip it away from Hongjoong. The omega scoffed and side stepped with the omega behind him as they both watched the alpha fall to the floor face first.
Hongjoong had to hold his laugh back from how ridiculous the alpha looked as he quickly jumped from his place on the floor and snatched his jacket off the back of the chair. His jaw was tense as he got close to Hongjoong and growled in his ear. “You’ll regret this.”
This time couldn’t hold back his laugh and when it rolled out it was almost manic. He could feel something boiling in his veins and it emboldened him in a way he wasn’t before. He roughly pushed the alpha away. “Get out and don’t come back.”
The alpha stormed past Hongjoong and Hongjoong saw him stop and hesitate for a moment before continuing to the door. It was only once the alpha was gone did Hongjoong notice that Mingi was the reason the alpha had stopped. Mingi was standing stock still, pulled up to his full height with his shoulders squared, jaw tensed, and eyes narrowed. If Hongjoong was more receptive, he would have found the possessive look in his eyes attractive, but it only made the pit in his belly feel deeper. Before he got a chance to say anything, the little omega he had just saved was clinging to his side hugging him with Minjae right behind him. In all the chaos, Hunter and Sumin can come from the kitchens and were helping calm the room down.
Hongjoong gently squeezed the other’s shoulder even if he did feel uncomfortable from the contact, and smiled. “No need to be afraid. You’re safe here.”
The young omega looked up at his with a smile and teary eyes. “Thank you, hyung!” He took Hongjoong’s hand and kissed his knuckles. “I didn’t know he was that aggressive….”
“Alphas can be irrational and unreadable, you have to be careful who you give your trust to.” Hongjoong squeezed his shoulder again and looked up, finding Minjae right at his side.
“Minjae, will you please escort him home. I don’t trust that alpha to not try to follow him.” He whispered to the beta under his breath.
He watched Minjae walk out with the omega tucked under his arm and walked around the room to usher his patrons back to their seats, taking orders and noting them mentally as he helped his staff restore order. When most were seated and conversation had resumed, it was then that Hongjoong realized just how heavy his limbs were, how light his head was. Was he getting sick…?
Hongjoong was making his way to his spot behind the bar when Mingi stepped in his path. He no longer had that stern look and sharp features he saw minutes ago, the sweet, soft face was returned with wide glass eyes. The look on his face was both endearing and comical.
“Hyung! That was amazing!” the alpha rushed.
“I’ve never seen something so elegant yet fierce!” He almost danced on the spot like a child and Hongjoong felt a disgusting dip to his stomach that was close to endearment. That was…new. He reached up to brush the hair from his brow and felt sweat gathered at his temple and swallowed hard at how hot his whole body felt. Mingi cocked his head.
“Hyung, are you okay?” Hongjoong couldn’t say if he was or not. He palmed his forehead and closed his eyes as black spots flickered in his line of sight. He smelled Mingi stepping into his space and inhaled deeply. Why was his scent so…calming? That’s when he felt Mingi’s face right next to his own and a shiver went down his spine at how close he was.
Mingi let out a deep, dark growl that made the omega in Hongjoong purring.
“You’re in heat.”
Hongjoong frowned, then blinked hard. Of fucking course! All the dots were slowly connecting in his foggy mind. The dream, his overt irritation, heightened sense of attraction to an alpha scent. Why didn’t he catch this sooner?
“I have to go…” he pushed away from Mingi and immediately felt at a loss. It was nothing new. His omega was a whore and wanted an alpha regularly, but Hongjoong was too sensible and traumatized to allow an alpha close. But Mingi felt SO good.
He didn’t even have the sense to push Mingi away when he caught his arm and directed him to the corner he so loved to sit at. “Hyung, let me help you home. I want to make sure you’re safe.”
Hongjoong swallowed hard. He hadn’t brought any one to his room, for any reason. That was his sanctuary and a place of peace but he felt like he had no choice as his legs began to give out and he embarrassingly felt the telltale signs of the slick that was running down his thighs. The omega nearly whimpered and hunched over. Being close to Mingi was a blessing and a curse at that moment. His scent was so wanted and welcomed, but he was feeling more feral and eager to breed. He had to bite his lower lip to keep from whimpering alpha in the middle of his bar.
“Upstairs…” Hongjoong croaked, nodding his head toward the door that led to the kitchens. He hesitated before once more reaching for Mingi’s arm. “Can I?”
Mingi nodded, taking Hongjoong’s arm and lacing it through his, his jaw tense as he kept his eyes forward and directed him through the crowd. Hongjoong kept his head turned towards Mingi, trying to hide his face but, god, did the alpha smell good. He couldn’t help himself as he started to rub his cheek across his arm, slowly moving closer to Mingi’s neck.
“You should stop.” Mingi rasped, his touch getting harsher. They were moving up the stairs now and Hongjoong just wanted to collapse on the floor. “Your alpha wouldn’t want another’s scent on you.”
Hongjoong lifted his head, his vision blurry. “I don’t have an alpha. They’re stupid and useless.” He complained but still pressed up to push his nose into Mingi’s neck. The scent closer to his scent gland was more intoxicating than any alcohol he had ever tasted. It was a heady mix of something sweet and floral with an undertone of smoke. He was instantly infatuated with it. He pressed his nose deeper into his gland and inhaled deeply, feeling a shudder travel through his body and slick gush. His body wanted Mingi in ways he hasn’t wanted an alpha in years and that more than anything scared him sober. He dropped his arms and stepped back from Mingi only to see the alpha standing there stock still, jaw still clenched and fists balled. “Sorry, but I won’t invite you to my room.”
Mingi blinked, his expression softening. “I wouldn’t even if you asked me.” He gave a tense smile that showed off his crooked smile. “I won’t follow you, but I will ensure you’re cared for while you are…otherwise occupied.” Hongjoong watched in fascination as Mingi pulled off his jacket and handed it to Hongjoong. “Take this. You seem to like my scent. It will help.”
Hongjoong felt slick gush again, soaking his thighs as he accepted the jacket. He gave a quick nod, unable to respond as he turned on his heel and rushed down the room to his room, pushing in and slamming the door shut behind him.
It was going to be a long week…
🥧🥛 🥧🥛 🥧🥛
The days that followed were literal torture for Hongjoong. There wasn’t a moment he wasn’t on the verge of screaming in frustration and anger from how demanding his body was being. His body wanted nothing but an alpha. To be touched and scruffed and knotted. He even imagined being pupped when he was so deep in his heat that he had his fist imitation of a knot. He felt disgustingly empty, his hand and toys he had collected over the years just weren’t settling him the way they used to. It was never enough. He cried through one unsatisfied release after another, praying for whatever god there was to take the pain away, make him sterile so he didn’t crave an alpha the way he was craving Mingi.
Mingi. Now he was the only thing that broke up the torturous days that bled into the nights of this endless cycle. He was bringing three meals a day to his door, knocking softly and leaving a tray of protein rich foods along with a variety of fruit and juices. He brought a pitcher of water each time and covered the whole feast in a piece of clothing scented by the alpha himself. He should be ashamed but he got off the hardest with those clothes pushed against his nose as he fucked his hand or fingered himself to delirium. It was only after doing so tha he was able to stomach any of the food and drinks before passing out with a fever high.
Hongjoong was on his second meal the fifth day in which his head cleared ever so slightly. The clawing pain in his loins had simmered to a subtle stabbing, he was finally able to stand but the amount of slick he was producing had doubled. He had to admit, Mingi was accurate about that flower. He was blooming with the scent even now. Mingi had been sweet enough to leave a vase of these marigolds he’d found along with a gorgeous red robe that the alpha had overly scented. Now that his fever had broken, he was more than certain he was addicted to the scent.
The only thing that was better was his scent combined with Mingi’s. With all the clothes Mingi had left along with the flowers, his head was swimming and he was thinking clearer than he had in years. He knew it was time to swallow his pride and tackle that fear that always clawed at his rib cage. He knew now that he was worth more than a fuck toy, a replacement. He knew not all alphas were worthless, some were soft and sweet and caring. Some respected boundaries and didn’t force anything on him. And that’s what he knew he needed now, the missing piece that he didn’t know he needed due to his blazing anger from hurt.
And he was man enough to admit his wrong and go after what he wanted.
After a long bath, he dressed in the long white shirt Mingi had left him and pulled on the robe Mingi had gifted him. It was still strongly scented and made his omega purr in contentment. His body vibrated with excitement, still on the cusp of his heat but more clear headed on everything.
Before he could even think twice, Hongjoong headed down to his tavern.
And just like expected, Mingi was in his corner, nose pressed into that book he so loved scribbling away with an empty glass by his hand. Even from a distance he looked exhausted, dark circles under his eyes and hair a mess, clothes slightly disheveled like he’s slept in them. Hongjoong felt a pang in his chest and a flame flicker in his gut. He inhaled and immediately got a whiff of the alpha’s scent and his belly did a little dance. He knew he was making the right decision.
Hongjoong ducked into the kitchen before he was seen and set a kettle of water over the fire to boil. He knew Mingi loved sweet things and Hongjoong had a new recipe he wanted to try. He retrieved a small pouch from his pocket that was full of the marigold petals that had dried over the past few days and placed them in the kettle with a stick of sugar cane. Once it was boiled and drained, he poured the tea into a cup.
Mingi was bent over his book, eyes heavy when Hongjoong came from the kitchen. His head popped up, eyes narrowing on Hongjoong as the omega sauntered closer and placed tea on the counter. “Hey, pup.” He rasped, throat still rough from all the crying and screaming he’d done the last few days.
The alpha blinked slowly, mouth opening slightly as he inhaled the ripe scent in front of him. “Why are you here? You’re still…” he snapped his jaw shut and looked away as color touched his cheeks. “You should be in your room.”
Hongjoong laughed lightly, reaching out to lightly pet Mingi’s ears. The alpha let out a half whimper, half growl. “I’ll go back in a bit. Just wanted to thank you.” Mingi turned his head and rested his cheek in Hongjoong’s palm, meeting his eyes as he let out little puffs of air. “Thank you for taking care of me. No one’s ever taken time for me like that.”
“I didn’t want you to be alone. I did what I could from outside the door.” He reached out and lightly touched the robe Hongjoong was wearing. “It looks gorgeous on you, Hyung. I knew you’d look amazing in that color.”
Hongjoong felt his face go hot as he bit his lip and squeezed his legs together hard. Slick was gushing just from Mingi’s deep, rough voice, from the compliment. He’d never been so affected by an alpha. “Drink your tea. I think you’ll like it.”
Mingi kept his eyes locked on Hongjoong’s, cheek still pressed to Hongjoong’s hand, as he reached for the cup and took the slightest sip. He perked immediately and looked between the cup and Hongjoong. “This…”
“Tastes like me.” The omega laughed lightly. It felt good to tease the alpha, his own omega was already belly up waiting for pats and Hongjoong would be lying if he didn’t say he wanted it too.
“Just like you…” Minho downs the rest of the tea and moans at the taste. Hongjoong felt his face heat up in arousal. “Just. Like. You.” His words were almost possessive and Hongjoong let a moan slip that Mingi most definitely caught “Hyung…”
Hongjoong clears his throat, nerves finally setting in but he refuses to let his confidence drop. “Will you help me a bit more, pup?” He once more met Mingi’s eyes. Those deep brown eyes he loved so much searching his. Hongjoong felt his ears flick ever so slightly as his tail wrapped around his own leg. “My heat’s not finished and I can’t stand being alone anymore. Will-“
“Yes!” Mingi stood and slapped his hands against the counter. “Yes, to whatever you want. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Hongjoong felt his own mouth drop open then. He wanted this but it was too easy. Mingi had already kissed his hand and bolted over the counter, scenting his wrist as he led them back up the back stairway to his apartment. Hongjoong felt his insides melt and ignite as Mingi’s scenting turned to sweet licks followed by light bites. The omega purred, struggling to get his door open with the alpha’s nose buried against his wrist. Mingi was closer to him then he had ever been before, touching him when Hongjoong shied away from any physical contact. But this felt right.
So Hongjoong finally allowed his instincts to kick in and take over, his omega coming to the surface to claim the alpha in the most feral way.
As soon as the door was opened, Hongjoong had Mingi by the collar pulling him into the room. He used his foot to kick the door shut and slammed Mingi’s back against it. Hongjoong resisted the urge to go for his lips and opted to press his nose deep into his neck, right against his scent gland. His body purred, the alpha’s scent like ambrosia to his wounded omega and he wanted to drown in it. Hongjoong tore at Mingi’s jacket and shirt, his claws shredding the material and nicking the skin in his urgency. His mouth traveled from Mingi’s neck and down to his chest, rough tongue running across soft skin, touching, tasting, exploring. Lost in the taste on his tongue, Hongjoong found himself on his knees at Mingi’s feet with his hands traveling the length of the alpha’s torso to feel every dip of every muscle until his fingers reached his waistband. Hongjoong lifted his eyes, meeting Mingi’s intense gaze, silently asking for permission with the lick of his tongue to his lower lip.
Mingi clawed the door behind him, Hongjoong could hear the wood being scored as he lifted his hips from the door and nodded. Hongjoong internally squealed, overly excited as he roughly ripped Mingi’s pants down. Like any proper gentleman, Mingi wore a pair of white undergarments that Hongjoong buried his face into. The scent here was so much richer, deeper than at his scent glands and he wanted to drown in it. He mouthed excitedly over the material and felt the member begin to harden under his ministrations, his mouth watering as his tongue shot out and licked at the entire length through the material.
“Hyung…” Mingi growled, above him, fists balling as he slammed on the door behind him and Hongjoong felt his slick gush at the sound. He lifted his eyes up and met Mingi’s narrowed eyes as he quickly tore the undergarments down and took the swollen tip into his mouth. “Fuck!”
Hongjoong let out a light chuckle as his hands came up and took the member into his hands as his rough tongue lapped and suckled the head. Mingi was big and Hongjoong could hardly get him in his hands and Hongjoong felt a thrill go through him. He shifted on his knees as slick leaked to the floor, his tail swaying as his ass twitched eager to be bred. If Mingi only knew how much he watched him he was sure the alpha would run, but Hongjoong slowly fed the cock down his throat until he was gagging at the action and drool spilled down his chin, ensuring Mingi wouldn’t want to escape. He sucked hard and was rewarded by Mingi thrusting his hips lightly as he thoroughly choked him.
Hongjoong gasped and clawed at Mingi’s thigh as he was knocked off balance and reached for his own neglected cock that leaked against his shirt. He should feel some shame, cumming untouched, immediately blaming it on his heat as he jerked his cock of any release left as he tasted the salty precum slide down his throat. Before he could coax a knot in his throat, Mingi had grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him to his feet. Hongjoong whimpered when the hard cock was pulled from mouth and licked his lips to chase any lingering taste.
“You came.” Mingi growled as he bent slightly to get closer to Hongjoong’s scent. When he stood straight again, his height easily towering over Hongjoong, the alpha barked. “You can only cum on my knot, omega!”
Hongjoong moaned again as he went limp in Mingi’s grasp, his omega ready to obey any command Mingi gave. God this is everything he needed right now. Mingi’s deep, booming voice nearly growling in his ear, the possessiveness he heard behind his words and the need the alpha easily expressed. The hold on his shoulders almost made his knees buckle and put him back in the place he knew he deserved at Mingi’s feet.
He couldn’t take it anymore. He had teased and tasted enough to know that he needed more.
He once more grabbed Mingi by the collar and drug the alpha deeper into the apartment to his mess of a nest that had taken over his bed. Their eyes were locked in silent, mutual worship and Hongjoong felt his core boil with a want he’s never felt before.
The need to be held and fucked and kissed and desired.
Mingi wouldn’t see the mess that surrounded him in the dim light of the room, the room Hongjoong had destroyed in his desperation to be taken during heat. The only thing that mattered was how easily their bodies would fit together. Mingi was propped up on his elbows as Hongjoong shucked the robe and shirt off to crawl up his body and straddle the alpha’s tiny waist. He held himself up and moaned when the fat tip brushed against his hole. It had been SO long that Hongjoong had to hold himself back from slamming down and taking the alpha’s cock balls deep. Hongjoong leaned forward and braced himself on Mingi’s chest, massaging the muscle under his skin and he gathered some slick from his one hole to smear on Mingi’s cock. The alpha throbbed in his hand, veins pulsing as more slick gushed from him. “Please…” Hongjoong moaned as he lined himself up, thighs shaking from anticipation.
“Do it.” Mingi growled and tensed under him, falling back on the bed and clawing the sheets as he stared up at Hongjoong. “Take what you want, omega.”
Something in Hongjoong snapped at the words, his tail wrapping around Mingi’s thigh as he slammed down hard, taking Mingi’s cock to the hilt. Hongjoong screamed, head falling back on his shoulder as he came hard a second time. Mingi felt so good, filling him completely and fully, hitting every spot deep inside he had never been able to reach. He still had stars in his eyes as he rolled his hips, letting out a shuddering cry at the new angle. He didn’t even have to touch himself for his cock to fill up again, eager to spill as he quickened his pace.
“Alpha…” Hongjoong moaned, deep and feral before letting out a manic laugh. He threw himself forward and braced himself on Mingi’s chest, slowly lifting himself up and slamming back down. His eyes fluttered shut as the tip rubbed something deep inside that made him go weak but chased the feeling harder. Hongjoong lifted himself up completely and slowly slid back down, setting a pace that was slow and hit so deep his thighs shook from the stimulation. He shuttered, rolling his hips and grinding down hard to keep their hips flush so Mingi was as deep as possible.
His vision was still clouded but when he glanced down at Mingi, the alpha seemed to be holding his breath, hands still tangled in the sheets and his head turned away. That’s when he realized, Mingi still hasn’t touched him… Hongjoong blinked and swallowed hard, those old fears of rejection bubbling to the service. He reached out and gently cupped Mingi’s face, making the alpha look at him. Those deep brown eyes turned to him, brow furrowed and plump lower lip between his teeth. He never even got to kiss him… “We should stop…” he rasped, holding back tears as he straightened his back, trying to put as much distance between the two as possible.
He thought, maybe, this time could have been different. Mingi had been so caring and attentive before. Now he seemed absolutely disinterested. It was soul crushing.
“What?” Mingi groaned, reaching for Hongjoong and grabbing him around his waist to keep him still, perched on his cock. “Why do you want to stop?” Mingi swallowed hard and Hongjoong could feel his disappointment. “You asked me…”
“You could have said no.” Hongjoong replied quickly, struggling to get out of Mingi’s grasp and just managing to get the tip of his cock logged deeper in his guys. He couldn’t stop the moan he released. “You don’t have to be here.” He continued quickly. “You won’t even touch me.”
Mingi tightened his hold on Hongjoong’s waist as he sat up. “You never gave me permission to touch you but I gave you permission to take what you wanted from me.” He buried his nose in Hongjoong’s neck and inhaled deeply. “I want to be here.” He whispered in his ear. “Please let me touch you, if you still want me.”
Tears did fall then. All the pent up emotions flowing out all at once as Hongjoong collapsed in Mingi’s arms. The alpha wrapped him tightly in his embrace, cradling his head to his shoulder as the other soothed down his back. His fear of rejection and disappointment had built such a fierce wall around him that now all his cards were on the table he felt absolutely vulnerable but he was quickly realizing that was okay. Mingi was the first alpha he had felt comfortable with. Safe with. And he didn’t want old traumas keeping someone special at a distance.
When Hongjoong pulled back, Mingi cupped his face and tenderly kissed his tears away. “Please touch me.” He whispered, voice full of the vulnerability he felt, hoping Mingi would accept him as he was. “Please love me…”
Hongjoong was silenced with Mingi’s lips meeting his, sweet and demanding as each press of their mouths grew with intensity until Mingi’s tongue shot out and licked at the seam of Hongjoong’s mouth, begging for entry. The omega relented and melted into Mingi’s embrace as he was kissed, truly kissed for the first time. He was so lost in the exchange that he barely noticed Mingi lowering him to his back and taking over, slowly thrusting and making him moan into the kiss.
Mingi reached down and brought Hongjoong’s leg higher on his waist, thrusts going from shallow to deep and hard. Hongjoong tossed his head back when Mingi hit his prostate and made his cock leak pathetically between them. “Alpha…”
“Shh…let me take care of you.” Mingi kissed his brow and trailed his lips down to his scent gland. Hongjoong yelped and tilted his head, offering his gland openly as his body clenched down on the alpha. Mingi growled in his ear, hips picking up pace. Hongjoong moaned when he felt Mingi’s knot start to balloon, catching on his rim almost painfully. “Does my sweet omega want my knot…?”
Hongjoong screamed and arched, clawing at Mingi’s back as his legs tightened around his lower back, pulling the alpha in closer. “Yes! Please, alpha!” Hongjoong was crying again, in sweet desperation on what his body had craved for so long. “Knot me!”
Mingi growled in his ear, wrapping his arms around Hongjoong and holding him in place as he fucked up into him hard. Hongjoong let out a string of expletives as the knot finally caught and Mingi was cumming in him so deep he felt the heat in his belly.
Hongjoong screamed again as he came, locking on the knot as his own body emptied. The pleasure was so good that Hongjoong completely blacked out.
It was only a few minutes before Hongjoong was roused with sweet kisses to his scent gland, still locked on Mingi’s slowly deflating knot. “Alpha…”
Mingi lifted his head and showered kisses on Hongjoong’s face. The omega giggled and let out a content purr. His body had never felt so satisfied as he did now, omega belly up and eager for the attention Mingi gave him. Hongjoong lifted his hand and brushed the sweaty hair from Mingi’s forehead, the alpha lifting his eyes to meet Hongjoong’s. “You’re the best decision I've ever made.” He whispered, kissing the corner of Mingi’s mouth and getting a sweet, crooked smile.
Mingi captured his lips and a kiss that sent Hongjoong’s heart soaring. “I’m lucky you gave me a chance.”
Hongjoong giggled and wrapped his arms around Mingi’s neck, one hand going up to pet the alpha’s ears as he indulged in the kiss. Mingi moaned into his mouth, squeezing the smaller body to him as he slowly began to thrust again. Hongjoong mewled, the knot finally deflated enough to be pulled out on his hole. Cum and slick followed quickly, their mixed scent blooming in the air. Hongjoong reached down and collected the fluids on his fingers, pulling away from the kiss to taste himself. His eyes fell shut as he purred loud. “You taste so good…” he shifted and pulled Mingi back into a kiss and shared their combined flavor.
“God..” Mingi pulled back and pressed Hongjoong to the bed. The omega whimpered at the loss but the feeling of Mingi’s lips and hands mapping out his body made him lay content. Hands found his hips and Mingi’s wicked tongue found his sensitive nipples. He arched into the touch, his tongue going between gentle licks so harsh sucking until both nipples were hard peaks. “I’ve wanted to milk you since the first time you leaned over the counter and I saw your tits.” Mingi panted into his chest, nipping one pert peak hard enough to make Hoonjong yelp. “I had no idea you’d be so sensitive…” his lips trailed down to his hip where he left harsh kisses that made his cock leap to attention. “Your hips were made to birth me pups..” came the whispered confession before he turned his face and lick a strip from Hongjoong’s balls to his leaking tip. “Your little cock is just for show…”
Hongjoong gasped and arched off the bed when Mingi swallowed his cock down whole, once, twice, then popped off. “What…?” He was ready to cum again and he had no idea if he was still experiencing the effects of his heat or if Mingi was affecting him this much.
He sat up in time to see Mingi’s large hands sprawl on his inner thighs and spread them wide. The visual alone was enough to make Hongjoong writhe, but when his legs were forced to his chest and Mingi’s tongue found his messy hole, he cried out in pleasure. He had never been licked there but Mingi had his face buried, nose rutting against his balls as his tongue lapped deep inside. It should be disgusting but Hongjoong felt a fire burning in his lower loins.
“Mingi!” Hongjoong screamed, hand going down to get a fist full of hair as he came.
Mingi slowly pulled away, licking at his cheeks and thighs before cleaning all the cum from Hongjoong’s spent cock. The alpha made a show of licking his lips and wiping his chin before trailing his lips and hands back up the entirety of the omega’s body. “You taste so good.” Mingi rasped as he littered tiny kisses over Hongjoong’s lips and chin. “Much better than any tea or chocolate.” He nuzzled into his neck, scraping his teeth over his scent gland as he took his place back between his legs. “This time when I knot you, I want you to scream my name.”
Hongjoong could only nod as he was maneuvered into a mating press and Mingi slowly pushed his cock back in. He grimaced, his hole sore from the earlier knotting but giving easily as Mingi set a deep brutal pace. His breath was knocked from his lungs and all he could do was claw at Mingi’s back as desperate cries were punched out from each thrust.
His omega reeled. He’d never been in such a position, never felt so desired as Mingi pressed their foreheads together and fucked him deep and hard. His cock was touching some place so deep inside that stars were exploding before his eyes, his entire body on fire and the lava coiled ready to explode. This felt so different then before but better on every level. Hongjoong fisted Mingi’s hair and moaned in his ear. “Right there, Mingi.” He shivered as a particularly well aimed thrust sent him reeling, eyes rolling to the back of his head. Then words Hongjoong had never uttered fell from his lips. “Breed me, alpha…”
Mingi reared back and snapped his jaws. He pinned Hongjoong down as he caged the smaller man with his arms. If Hongjoong thought Mingi was fucking him hard before, now it felt like he drilling him into the bed in the most blissful way. The sounds of their bodies meeting and skin slapping echoed in the room adding to the ragged breathing Hongjoong let out and the feral growls Mingi emitted, the subtle screams of pleasure. He tried to arch but he was held tight with Mingi’s mouth latched onto his scent gland, licking, biting, but not breaking the skin. He screamed when a particularly hard bite made his entire body tense up.
“Gonna knot and breed my pretty omega.” Mingi growled in his ear. Hongjoong shook, thrashing under Mingi as he felt the telltale sign of a knot as it started to catch on his rim. He wrapped his arms under his legs and grabbed desperately at Mingi. The rising in his gut as it was rearranged felt different this time, it was hotter, more desperate, almost frightened. He caught Mingi’s lips in a searing kiss just as the knot caught for a second time.
“Mingi!” Hongjoong screamed from the pit of his soul, this orgasm like lightning in his veins as he was filled for a second time. “My alpha.”
He clung to Mingi like a lifeline, nuzzling into his neck as his body floated from its high. He was naive and had no idea sex could feel this good, had no idea how delicious a knot tasted. He wanted more and was willing to beg for it. Just not now. He was exhausted and it had been a long heat.
Suddenly, Hongjoong wasn’t knot drunk anymore and was completely sober. He blinked and glanced down at Mingi. “Mingi…” the alpha lifted his head with a lazy smile, caressing Hongjoong’s ears as he stared down at him. The omega purred lightly. “I’m still in heat.”
“I know.” Mingi replied simply as he kissed Hongjoong’s nose. “You smell so beautifully ripe.”
Hongjoong felt heat touch his face and he looked away. “No. I mean…” he swallowed hard. “You could really breed me right now…”
Mingi blinked and rolled to his side, eyes immediately going to Hongjoong’s engorged belly. Hongjoong felt his already inflated cock twitch as his hand traveled over his belly. “Really?” He shifted and kissed where his hand was. “We could have pups.”
Hongjoong swallowed hard again, the reality of the situation creeping up on him. “That doesn’t terrify you?”
Mingi looked up with a smile and pulled Hongjoong into a deep kiss. “Absolutely not.” He trailed kisses down his neck. “I want you, as more then just heat partner.” He pulled back and met Hongjoong’s eyes. “Hongjoong, I’ve been chasing you like a lost puppy for months. You’re a spit fire and I admire your strength so much. I’ll wait an eternity for you because I believe you are meant to be my mate. If we have pups before, well…” he kissed Hongjoong’s nose. “I’ll love them as fiercely as I love you now.”
Hormones. That’s what Hongjoong blamed the tears on. He couldn’t stop them as he pulled Mingi into a kiss. His heart felt full and his omega was at peace. He’d never felt so content in his life and all because this stupid alpha wouldn’t stop annoying him. As Hongjoong pulled Mingi in and just inhaled his scent, he was thankful for whatever reason this man was dropped into his lap. He wouldn’t let him go now that he had the perfect companion.
“Court me properly before you ask to mate me, pup.” He playfully jeered as he nipped at Mingi’s ear. Mingi smiled and snuggled in closer, the two wrapping the other with their entire bodies. In the dim light even their tails connected and twined together.
This was happiness in its sheerest form.
“I’ll make you fall in love with me as deeply as I love you.” Mingi whispered as his breathing leveled as he dozed into sleep.
Hongjoong smiled and held the alpha closer. If only he knew that Hongjoong was already head over heels and would mate him at this very moment…
