up by this powerful maelstrom of emotions before? The young omega was the center of his world. He opened his mouth over the man’s neck in an almost kiss. Protect, soothe. Love him.
Those damned pheromones.
He looped his arms around the stranger’s torso and laid them to the side. Inevitably, Travis landed in the virgin cum splattered on the wooden floor. Oh, heaven. He wanted to roll around in it. In an attempt to keep himself under control, he gritted his teeth and pressed his face into the young man’s sweaty hair, but his hips snapped forward anyway. The omega tensed with another bolt of pleasure, a deep guttural groan reverberating through his torso. He reached back with a wiry arm and gripped Travis’s thigh.
Travis kept nuzzling the sweet-smelling skin. “Are you okay?” he murmured breathlessly.
“Yeah. Need just a little…ah…more.”
Whatever you want. Travis gave another gentle thrust, his hips tight against the lovely, round ass, pressing the knot harder onto the young man’s swollen prostate. Another deep moan.
“Oh yes. Keep moving.”
A few tiny thrusts and Travis’s hand slid up and down the omega’s cock. The skin felt like velvet in his hand, slick in places from an abundance of cum. The young man came one more time on a contented sigh, the last few drops of his seed trickling over Travis’s fingers. His body grew heavy with relief.
The heat wave was over, but tension still coiled in the pit of Travis’s stomach. Without thinking, he brought his soiled palm to his face and inhaled deeply.
Travis licked the stranger’s cum.
The concentrated smell and taste of virgin heat turned his soul inside out. His knot jerked with immediate release, and his hips snapped forward. Behind his closed eyelids, the world burst into vibrant colors. The more he gasped with pleasure, the stronger the scent became, and he clutched the miraculous creature he’d found, nestling himself as deep as he could into the pliant, warm body. He heard his own rumbling moans. He could almost see himself from the outside, hips rutting, teeth bared against the omegas neck, mauling the slender man like a mindless beast.
When he resurfaced from the most intense orgasm of his life, Travis worried he’d held the man too tight, pushed the knot too deep. But the omega only sighed, a sound of both profound satisfaction and fatigue. Filled with Travis’s cum, his gland under the constant pressure of the pulsating knot, he seemed able to relax.
“Thank you.” The words came out on a soft exhale.
“You need to rest,” Travis murmured.
The omega lay limp in Travis’s arms, and his voice was barely audible when he mumbled, “I’m sorry.”
“Shh, don’t apologize. Sleep. Don’t think about anything. Just sleep.”
“Feels so damned good inside me.”
“It’s supposed to.”
Travis caressed the slender arms and chest until he rested his hand on the young man’s smooth abdomen. His guest fell asleep fast, open and soft, and Travis marveled at the sensations. He closed his eyes and drifted for a moment, savoring the perfection of their joining. His knot tingled all over, sending small tendrils of joy into his brain as if he were still coming. The young omega’s taste was the strongest aphrodisiac, and for a while, Travis couldn’t think of anything else. I could fuck you for the whole night, make you come five times more. So sweet, so beautiful, so sincere.
The scent of heat slowly weakened, the arousal got manageable, and Travis found his way back to himself. He tried to put the puzzle together in his mind. The man must have gone through at least one heat wave alone in the forest and had probably tried to find relief in the river. Travis shuddered at the thought of the churning, icy water of Shatter River. He couldn’t imagine the horrifying hours of anguish the omega must have survived before he’d exhausted himself into unconsciousness. Travis dragged the blanket down from the sofa and covered the omega’s body with it. You’re safe, beautiful. Rest. I’ll keep you warm.
But now what?
Travis couldn’t have done anything to prevent this. Even if he had known the stranger was in heat, would he have left him there? No. The man could have died from exhaustion, hypothermia, or self-harm. He had been so drained he hadn’t even been able to feed himself. What if someone out there was waiting to claim him? And what if there wasn’t anyone?
The young man was asleep, impaled on Travis’s swollen cock, full of Travis’s cum. Small ripples of pleasure ran through their joined
