Lena took a deep breath. All that her fevered mind needed was the confirmation that Kara was sweet on her. She hurried back to Kara’s empty bed with the conviction that they should be mated and thought about how she would persuade Kara into accepting that fact.
Her imagination was a little too strong for her own good, and several randy fantasies put her in a pitiful state of arousal. The candle dripped on the bedside table, but before long, the door creaked open.
Kara entered without glancing at her and went towards the mirror to remove her hat and the leather tie from her neck. “How are you keeping?”
Lena lusted with her eyes, following the swagger of Kara’s hips and holding back none of her interest. “It’s been a dreadful bore sitting up here all by my lonesome, but I looked forward to having your company.”
Kara came to bed in her full suit, clunky boots and all. She pried them off after sitting on the edge of the mattress and Lena frowned as Kara made to sprawl out.
“Oh no you don’t,” Lena complained with a sniff and a prickly glare at Kara’s shirt. “You take those clothes off. It’s a hot night and you don’t want them to wrinkle.”
Kara hesitated to listen, but relented as Lena raised an eyebrow in warning. The alpha unbuttoned her shirt and hung up her pants, leaving on nothing but her undershirt and shorts.
Lena smiled to herself until her mate hunkered down on her shoulder and turned the opposite way.
“Well, goodnight, ma’am,” Kara uttered, not suspecting that Lena would swat her hard with a pillow.
Lena pretended that she was just making room, and when Kara rolled over with her mouth open in surprise, she positioned herself closer.
“I have another favor to ask you,” Lena intoned breathily as she took deeper, steadier inhalations so that Kara would watch her breasts. “It’s just that I’ve never seen an alpha naked before, and we’ve gotten close since living under the same roof. My friends used to laugh at my ignorance, but I always thought I would be seen as a harlot for making such a request of anyone else.”
Kara moved onto her back to peer up at the ceiling, and Lena expected an outright refusal.
She brooded with her lower lip sticking out in a pout worthy of a pup. It stunned her when Kara lumbered up from the bed and tossed her undershirt and shorts aside without bothering to fold them neatly.
Lena opened her mouth in the quietest gasp as Kara settled again and she saw the magnificent member between her thighs.
The girth exceeded her own impressions of what was possible. It seemed like it could never fit comfortably inside a pair of trousers. She propped herself up on an elbow, and the shaft still towered over her with a red and glistening tip.
“You’re not a harlot for havin’ natural curiosities,” Kara muttered with her eyes firmly shut, as if to ignore how her body responded to Lena’s proximity. She lay there as rigid and unyielding as the pole protruding from her thighs and kept her hands to herself as Lena sidled closer.
“Doesn’t it hurt when it sticks up like that?” Lena asked with a coquettish blink and dared slide her hand across Kara’s hip like she meant to caress it. “I was informed it’s best to soothe it with a steady hand whenever it rises.”
“Lena,” Kara husked in warning, though her excitement showed itself in the way her cock jerked.
A single droplet of arousal trickled down the rippled veins and Lena watched its slow descent with rapt attention. “Please, Kara, these are lessons I require in confidence, and I wish to learn all about alphas and how I ought to please my future mate.”
The emphasis she placed coincided with how eagerly she formed a fist around the girthy base of Kara’s cock. She had no hope of fully clasping such a proud member, and the sturdy heat of it felt good as she stroked upward.
Kara certainly seemed to appreciate her grasp, for her hips lifted and her eyes sprang open in surprise. She looked first at Lena’s besotted face, and then south to her dainty hand as it became acquainted with Kara more intimately.
“You’re very impressive,” Lena lilted as she moved onto her side so that Kara had full vantage of seeing her pale breasts and the wet partition at the apex of her thighs. “You show self-restraint at all times, but it must be difficult to have me here in your bed while I’m in heat.”
“No, I–”
Kara faltered at the light pressure of Lena’s palm gliding over the plump glans of her cock. She tried to stifle the moan in her throat, but it broke free with Lena’s insistence. “I’m quite happy to have you in my bed. Next to me. I hope it brings you comfort to have me near.”
Lena wondered if Kara would continue to trip over her words if she carried on fondling her length. She pulled at the wider part of the base right up to the gargantuan head and watched as warm beads of fluid spouted from it. The droplets fell onto her hand, and she smoothed Kara’s slipperiness over the thick veins that pulsed against her curled fingers.
“I must admit I have more questions now than answers.” Lena could not bring herself to glance away from the furrow that dripped with the faster motion of her wrist. “Is this seed that covers my hand? I know that you must have a lot of it inside of you, and that by mating, I would have it all inside of me.”
Kara groaned and began to move like she had earlier at the desk, bucking so that her cock pushed more easily through Lena’s hand. “Seed is different, Lena, but you should rest now. Your heat must have exhausted you today.”
“This is revitalizing me,” Lena argued, bolder than before as she jerked at Kara’s large member and gasped at the amount of arousal that came from it. “It’s shameful to have no knowledge of alphas when most other omegas would already have a claim on their necks by the time of their first heat.”
Sympathy wafted from Kara, the much sweeter and lighter fragrance differing from the heavier scent of sex in the room.
Voracious with intrigue, Lena rubbed more of the translucent droplets around the contours of Kara’s cock. She played with the groove, pressing her thumb gently over it.
“My friends from Paris have the prettiest bites on their throats,” Lena lamented in a soft voice as she rested her hand low down on Kara’s shaft and massaged the swelling. “I often wondered what it would be like to have a lover. What if you show me, Kara? I trust you, and I consider you my dearest confidante now. It’s terribly hot between my thighs and my cunt aches as I handle you. You could put your cock inside of me for just a moment and give me an impression of what it is like.”
“That right belongs to the one who claims you,” Kara grunted, though she sounded pained instead of chastising. She pumped her hips a few more times and then dropped her backside to the bed with a heavy breath.
Lena expected that to be the end of their exploration and a shock of arousal coursed through her loins at the sudden pressure of Kara’s warm palm against her cunt. She whined as Kara rubbed smoothly over it.
“Though I suppose it would be awfully rude not to lend you a hand, given this is your first heat.” Kara sounded almost honorable for an alpha who took the liberty of parting Lena’s untouched inner lips. She groaned as she felt the slick that gathered so generously along Lena’s slit and used two fingers to find the pearl between them.
The first graze brought Lena’s knees together, and the second pulled the breath from her. She shook from the faintest touch, her whole body aflame with amorous longing as Kara spread her thighs.
“You’ll want a mate who treats you special,” Kara whispered and carefully positioned Lena onto her back with her knees bent and open. She looked ready to kiss Lena as she shifted closer, though held back as she watched Lena’s lips part in a breathy whine. “It feels good to be rubbed here, doesn’t it? You’ll find yourself swollen here every time you’re in heat.”
“Tell me more, Kara, what else will I feel?” Lena begged, no longer worried of how improper it might be to ask for answers.
She could feel Kara respond to the sight of her laid bare. Kara’s cock strained in her grasp, and she tugged it much more firmly.
“You’ll be all warm and feverish if I stroke you enough. You’ll feel a tremble that starts deep inside. Don’t be afraid of it.” Kara didn’t need to elaborate as she hastened to touch her and watched as Lena’s eyelids fluttered shut.
“Is it good for me to experience such a thing?” Lena whispered, trusting that Kara would always be honest, especially when it came to mating. She made the softest sounds as her pelvis lifted and she chewed her lip as it all became overwhelming.
“It’s a feelin’ you’ll crave for the rest of your life,” Kara promised, showing the skill her strong hands possessed by massaging Lena’s clitoris into a sensitive little peak. She dipped lower once or twice, circling the entrance to her cunt preciously without ever pushing through it.
Every time she writhed and whimpered, Lena hoped that Kara would press inside to feel her more thoroughly.
She tightened her grip on the turgid staff and provocatively brought her lips down over it.
Lena wished she knew more of how to kiss this part of Kara, but the light dalliances of her tongue became much more persistent sucks and she moaned because she liked the taste.
It inspired her to fist faster over the thick girth, holding it like a flute against the press of her mouth. She flicked into the outlet of Kara’s seed with a worshipful fervor, her breaths coming in soft whimpers as she discovered the pleasures of having a mate all her own.
“I think I taste your seed. May I see it?” Lena could feel how her actions moved Kara’s cock in a gentle jerk, and she assumed that the spasms on her tongue would result in a hot outpouring of what she wanted.
“This might be too much for you tonight,” Kara replied without inclination or recourse to stop her. She groaned from pleasure and petted the top of Lena’s head as she slipped more of the alpha’s cock into her mouth.
A real alpha was better than the heroes Lena had written about in her romances. She experienced a delight in her chest as she worked her mouth over the engorged pole with flutterings of love deep inside of her.
The caress of her tongue held power over the large shaft, and though the wide tip was too immense to get any deeper into her throat, she made several attempts and stretched her lips ambitiously.
“I love this, and I want more of it,” Lena breathed, possessed of desires she was just beginning to understand. “We ought to see how much of your cock will fit in my mouth. If you lift your hips while I suck—"
“Lena,” Kara groaned and looked at her like she was overwhelming and perfect all the same. “I should slow you down. Your heat will tire you out.”
“Let it,” Lena carelessly demanded and wrapped her hand lower on Kara’s cock as she did her part to take it down into her throat.
She smiled at the smallest buck from Kara and lifted her tongue to glide under the glans that began thrusting over her tastebuds.
“This makes you so stiff. I could do this every day.” Lena slurped in excitement and began planning their afternoons in the fields and their nights in the sitting room. “Is it true what my friends say? Is this better for an alpha than kissing on the lips?”
Kara moved her hand under Lena’s chin, bringing a pause to her puckers and guiding her up for her first kiss.
The tenderness made her breath slip away unnoticed and she felt like she could close her eyes, only she was too fascinated to do that. They kissed heatedly and with a love that startled her and changed her mood of playful experimentation into a more serious bid to prove she could be a fine match for Kara.
“Nothing is better than kissing you,” Kara admitted with a gentle hand still behind Lena’s ear.
Lena smiled and blushed, and they kissed again before she settled back between Kara’s legs with eagerness to make the veins in her shaft pulsate.
“You are so thick and my lips can’t stretch around you as much as I would like,” Lena bemoaned as she still managed to swallow around more of Kara’s heavy cock.
Her naturally pouty lips seemed up to this task, but she would need a lot of practice to wrap them fully around Kara’s superior length.
“Your mouth looks so pretty wrapped around me like that,” Kara expressed and stroked Lena’s hair as she sucked with more force.
“I could suck on you often,” Lena moaned and popped her mouth over just the swollen tip to swallow the flavors of Kara’s arousal. “What if I stay in your bed even out of heat?”
Kara appeared agreeable to those lustful ideas and Lena persuasively gulped around her. She hollowed her cheeks in and stared up at her mate devotionally, forming a fast obsession with the spasm of the cock in her mouth. It came on suddenly and filled her tongue with warm seed, so much that some of it escaped her lips. She wiped at the spurts with her fingertip, smiling as she licked it and lifted her eyebrow at Kara.
The groans that came out of Kara must have been heard throughout the house as her hips strained up from the bed.
“Do I have a talent for this?” Lena inquired, smug in Kara’s satisfaction and the fevered way they kissed afterwards.
“A natural talent.”
Kara moved her onto her back and Lena spread out her legs with the hope she would be mounted, mated and bred.
Her excitement peaked as Kara’s lips closed around her earlobe and then caressed at her neck. She had an extreme sensitivity to kisses on her throat, and trembled as Kara’s fingers rubbed at the little cleft between her legs.
Kara’s teeth never marked her or so much as pressed into her pristine skin, but Lena felt claimed already as she opened her thighs in obedience.
“Is it my cunt you want next, Kara?” Lena queried with complete willingness to be broken in before granted a claim bite.
An omega of her social status should never have been accepting of those circumstances—not when her worth was defined by the purity of her cunt and neck. She would never have the same value in courtship, but she was convinced that Kara would love her.
Kara neglected to answer but slid down the bed to kiss at the shy and deep rouge red at the opening of Lena’s pussy lips.
Lena gasped as her mate’s tongue slipped over the tormented heat of her clitoris. The small bud throbbed against Kara’s sweet mouth, and her inner lips spread apart in surrender to the warm swipe of Kara’s tongue.
“Your pleasure will help you to sleep tonight,” Kara insisted, like her need for sleep was of the utmost concern.
Lena burned hotter and whimpered from having Kara’s tongue inside of her pussy—meeting the thin pink veil without breaking it, but still inside of her all the same. She rocked and pulled her knees far apart so that Kara could kiss those sensitive places.
“You are the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on.” Kara licked faster in between the slim parting of her lips. “Sweeter than all the honey I ever tasted.”
Lena loved the covetous kisses to her cunt and took deep breaths that pushed her ribcage out and pelvis up. She laid back and moaned as Kara sucked at her clit and placed a thumb at her entrance to rub it.
“When you touch my cunt, I feel the sensation you told me I would come to crave,” Lena whispered raggedly, unable to refrain from pushing into Kara’s hand. “It will feel even more pleasurable when your cock enters me.”
Kara groaned at the mere thought, and Lena could feel the tremor of her desire through every touch.
Kara’s thumb graciously parted the soft ripple of Lena’s chaste opening and applied the barest pressure to the silken barrier that refused her entry. Lena imagined how wonderful it would be should Kara position the mighty tip of her cock right there, and how the hot circumference would soothe the ache of her longing.
“Tell me you’ve thought of it, Kara?” Lena pleaded with closed fists that bunched Kara’s golden hair tight between her fingers. “That on those nights when I can hear you restless and groaning, it’s my cunt that keeps you awake and nothing else.”
She could hardly lay still with how passionately Kara showed her affections in the heated suction she supplied to Lena’s clitoris. The noisy smack of her lips was growing louder as Lena became slicker, and her fragrant juices coated the alpha’s chin.
“I worry you’re the only thing in my head anymore,” Kara confessed with only the barest lick shame of how often she thought of Lena. Her cheeks tinged slightly red as she placed her hands beneath Lena’s buttocks and pulled her closer with a sound of desperation.
Kara flattened her tongue to lap at every delicate crevasse and drew more of Lena into the warm confines of her mouth.
The quickened probing of her chastity brought a pretty flush to Lena’s complexion and she held fast at Kara’s head to encourage her to continue. She moved as wildly as the horses that ran free in the fields, overcome with sensations that seduced her body into an erotic twist in the bedsheets. She knew very little of why a heavy tightness began to coil like ropes in her belly, and yet in all her life nothing had felt so unrelenting or exquisite.
“Kara,” Lena breathlessly gasped as flutters of pleasure coalesced in her abdomen and pulled her deeper into a state of frenzied movement.
Little quakes raced through her limbs and she could no longer help how her thighs came together on either side of Kara’s handsome face. She thrashed from the tease of Kara’s tongue and experienced a tingle in her lips as her lungs failed to bring enough air into them.
“Trust that this is good for you, Lena. I know you need this from me.” Kara spoke with such certainty that Lena’s omega eagerly obeyed, and Kara held her down by the hips to devour her completely.
“I may faint,” Lena exclaimed as she lost all control of herself. She forgot how to conduct herself, and the raunchiest of sounds fell from her tongue as the worry within her melted away.
A rush of warmth swept through her body, releasing the tension of her muscles while the ones of cunt went into powerful contractions. She fell limp against the bed in exhaustion as the last twitches worked through her cunt, and then tilted her head for Kara to claim her mouth with a tender kiss.
“You’ll rest just fine now,” Kara promised as she tucked Lena against her side with one strong arm slung across her waist.
Lena had no notion of when she fell asleep – just that she did.
By the break of day, Kara kissed her softly on the cheek and slipped out of the room to tend to her duties.
Lena was too lethargic to move, her legs as sore as if she spent the whole night walking. She scarcely lifted her eyelids open before curling onto Kara’s side of the bed and falling off to sleep again.
Her heat fever worsened as she slept, and the noon day sun was blazing when she stirred and glanced around at her surroundings.
She must have still been sluggish as she pulled the sheet over her back and returned to her bedroom without her clothes.
It took her a long time to dress herself, not because she required any servant’s help, but because she chose one of her tighter garments. The simple white of the gown was not the main appeal, but the shirring of the neckline was what she wanted.
The servants appeared to be reluctant to make eye contact with her as she emerged at the bottom of the stairs. She borrowed a pair of Kara’s larger boots and a wide brimmed hat to keep the sun from her eyes.
Alexandra stepped out from the sitting room with a knowing warmth in her smile, which soon disappeared as she glanced around at the disquiet amongst the servants.
Lena embraced the advice of the beta and chose not to bother about anyone’s discomfort. She would be normal self in their presence, not a wilted flower.
“Nice morning, isn’t it, Alexandra? Have you seen Kara? I’m going to help her in the fields today.”
Alexandra moved closer and passed a cloth-wrapped bit of bread and cheese into Lena’s hands. “She was out with the sun, but if you head out to the pasture, I’m sure you’ll find her. I was just going to take this to her for lunch.”
“I’ll do that,” Lena whispered, softly gripping the beta’s hand before turning and swishing away in her little dress. “You be sure to have a nice afternoon now, you hear?”
She mimicked the way she had heard others talk to each other as she hurried through the door and out to the pasture.
Far out in the fields, she spotted Kara winding up some rope. Lena headed that way, catching Kara’s eye as she crossed through the sparser areas of grass. Cacti covered parts of the land and pink blooms rose up from their spikes.
“Desert flowers,” Kara commented as she noticed Lena looking at the vibrant petals. “The prettiest of them all. They grew up in harsh soil, but they still thrive. Kinda like you.”
Lena smiled as she gave Kara the bundle of food. “My life hasn’t been all that bad. I just had to listen to Lex’s tirades, but once he moved out here, he was no real bother to me.”
She nibbled her lip as she blankly stared at a cactus and her memories of Lex’s violence almost took the smile from her face. It passed like a phantom in her mind’s eye and she focused instead on Kara’s kind grin, using her mate’s warmth to chase away those cold shadows.
“May I sit with you while you eat?” Lena asked and gestured at a low rock where they could sit comfortably side by side.
Kara beckoned her to settle first and opened the cloth to retrieve the bread before perching next to Lena. She broke her portions in half and shared the meal, and Lena remembered her own hunger as she ate what was offered to her.
“You never did tell me much about why you came out west,” Lena muttered as she glanced down at the small hole in the toe of her boots. She would have to patch that for Kara, or otherwise prod her into buying another pair.
“I came to California with my family when I was no taller than that tree over yonder.” Kara pointed to a rather small plant with no leaves on it, which looked more like a stick that someone pushed down into the dirt. “We all would have made it if we hadn’t run out of water on the trail. Alexandra isn’t my sister by blood, but her maw raised me. I always wanted to do just as much good for other people.”
Lena understood the tale of loss without Kara going into more detail. She placed her hand on Kara’s thigh as she considered how alike they were, and yet how different.
“You are good, Kara,” Lena whispered as she peered into her mate’s pretty blue eyes. “You are generous with everyone you meet. You use your strength to help those who are weaker, and I’ve never known anyone to be more kind.”
Kara leaned in as if to kiss her, but swiveled and glanced away at the final moment.
Lena observed the handsome features of the alpha who had become her dearest friend. She wanted to beg Kara to bite her throat and stake claim to her, but the alpha seemed aloof and preoccupied.
“You are by far the sweetest thing in my life,” Kara whispered with a loving smile, her voice cracking with emotion. “I’m blessed to have you as my friend.”
Lena tried to smile, even as a scoff developed in her throat. How dare Kara consider her no more than a friend after they had shared one another in special ways the night before.
“I’m a little more than that, am I not?” Lena asked in offense. “Unless you go around greeting all your friends with this.”
The hot-blooded nature of her omega showed no concern over becoming a spectacle as she palmed the swollen girth which resided in Kara’s britches.
Lena should have considered the talk that would occur if any of the alphas around saw her being so unladylike, but she was entirely too preoccupied to think before she acted. It took hardly any time to pop the buttons free on Kara’s trousers and tug them down.
She lifted her dress up far enough to avoid making a mess of it as she sank onto her knees. Someone might later see the dirt on her skin, though she was less inclined to care as she pushed her pouting lips over the thickened tip of Kara’s erection.
Kara’s groan of surprise was worth all the consequences that might befall her for this greed. She moaned softly in acceptance as Kara settled a hand on the back of her head.
“We can’t do this out here. If your heat is ravaging you so fiercely, we should step inside for a spell—” Kara struggled to speak, her sharp breaths halting her words as Lena puckered to suck.
For all of her protest, Kara made no attempt to deny Lena, and stroked the hair from her cheek with great fondness.
“I’m quite content right here with the taste of you on my tongue,” Lena whispered, hoping that the pretty expanse of her unclaimed throat and the swell of her breasts would satisfy Kara’s alpha into staying put.
She didn’t let up after that, grasping at Kara’s shaft with both hands to massage the large base. Lena pumped her fists upward and slurped all over the glans, pressing wet kisses over the aperture before daring to flick into the sensitive groove.
Kara stiffened all the more whenever she looped her tongue beneath the ridge, and Lena stuffed her mouth full until she was pink in the face.
At this rate, she would no longer need the powdery assistance of blush or the pigments to make her lips as red as berries, so long as Kara was filling her mouth on a frequent basis.
She took long pulls on Kara’s cock, lunging forward and keeping her lips in a taut shape as she closed them over the warm scarlet tip.
“Your cock is the first I’ve ever tasted. What if I decide I would like it to be the first in my cunt, Kara?” Lena spoke rashly, forgetting her place as an omega and behaving with wanton intent.
“You saw the small barrier that makes me an unclaimed thing, didn’t you?” Lena pressed a scandalous and wet kiss to the stiff, blunt head of her shaft.
“You could break me in so nicely. Just a few gentle thrusts with this part of you that I have in my mouth.”
Her talk inspired the alpha to move her hips more, to give her more than just the tip on her tongue. Lena moaned as she thought of the same happening with her pussy, and how their innocent attempts to start slow would surely result in Kara sliding all the way in. She slipped her hand under her skirts to rub at clitoris as she gulped on Kara’s hard cock.
“I would go much deeper than that, Lena. If we did as you say, and I rutted your cunt, you would have all of it inside you.” Kara groaned and stoked that fantasy with thrusts that pushed her cock over Lena’s tongue.
Lena kept her mouth open, learning from her mate and sucking just when Kara’s hips halted. She swallowed down all of the seed that pumped into her throat.
Lena cleaned her face with the back of her hand and stood up just as she heard an oddly familiar voice calling her name in the distance.
The accent was unmistakable, and the Englishman that came into view was none other than Jack Spheer, one of her suitors from New York. He looked out of place in the dust and stopped to shake it off his fine leather shoes.
“Lena, I’ve come all this way to see you.” Jack clenched his thick eyebrows together in consternation and took her into his arms as he drew near.
Lena slipped from his embrace with a face still red from what she did with Kara and eyes that must have glittered with too much feigned joy.
Kara turned into a wooden soldier at her side, all stiff joints and square
features. Her eyes became narrow slits as she put out her hand to greet Jack.
“This is quite a far way to come,” Lena laughed, her voice weakened from the vigor she used on Kara.
“Well, you’re worth the journey,” Jack earnestly insisted, his moustache curling along with his lips as he smiled down at Lena. He winced the moment Kara took his hand to shake it, her grip so tight that she left imprints of her fingers along his skin.
“Who are you, and why are you on my property?” Kara asked with an almost open hostility about her posture. She didn’t smile so much as bare her teeth and the stench of her pheromones was possessive.
Lena might have swooned if she wasn’t caught between them both, though her hand did fall by Kara’s waist. She curled her fingers, planning to take hold of leather strapped to the alpha’s britches, but barely got the chance to graze the belt as Jack stepped back reflexively.
“Oh, my apologies, I thought this fine house belonged to Mr. Luthor.” Jack waved a hand, as if unaware of the tension that thickened between them, and then raised his chin as he cast his gaze down to Kara’s tattered and dirty boots. “I’m Jack, a dear friend of Lena’s, and who might you be?”
It was evident from the squint of Jack’s eyes that he considered Kara not only beneath him, but some sort of hired hand to guard Lena’s chastity. A slight perversion crossed Lena’s mind as she considered how she would like to inform Jack of the new things she had learned while in Kara’s company—the teachings that any good wife ought to understand before giving her hand in marriage.
“A few things have changed in the short summer months,” Lena explained to circumvent the awkwardness of recounting all that had transpired since her arrival. “This is Kara Danvers. She’s the sole owner of Lex’s estate and everything else that belonged to him.”
She got the impression that Kara had tired of the conversation, and her rude and unwavering stare bore into Jack like she meant to chase him off. Lena wasn’t exactly opposed to that, but it struck her as a fine opportunity to rile Kara’s alpha if Jack remained.
“I see. Things out here truly are as wild as they say, aren’t they?” Jack reflected, his smile fading once he realized that nobody else shared his amusement. He cleared his throat and raised his chin with all the arrogance Lena was accustomed to seeing on alphas.
Jack then held Kara’s gaze in a foolish move to prove her intimidation wouldn’t work. “If it's all the same, I’d quite like a word. You see, I had some business with Lex that I’d greatly appreciate settling.”
In polite circles, there would be a grace period where any unfinished business would be put to rest, but Kara showed no kindness as she drawled, “Perhaps another time.”
The mutual aggression on display was alluring to Lena’s heat-stricken omega, and she spoke out of turn without rightly understanding why Kara was being so stubborn. “Why don’t you stay for dinner, Jack, and you two can discuss the details afterwards?”
Kara appeared livid at the suggestion, but the subtle notes of Lena’s sexual perfume cowed her alpha and kept her temper in line. She huffed out a breath of frustration and stalked off toward the house just as Alexandra hurried outside to call them in to eat.
Lena quickened her steps to follow with Jack trailing behind her in a huff from being treated so poorly.
Lena had never participated in a more tense dinner party than the one that transpired in their household that night.
Everyone scraped their forks on their plates just to fill the intermittent silence and the scent of heat was no help in resolving the aggression on either side of the table.
Kara sat at the head of it and glared down to the end where Jack Spheer fussed many times with a napkin he tucked into his shirt.
He tried to initiate conversation about Kara’s land holdings and interests, but all he received were grunts or one word answers.
Jack poked his fork into a cut of meat and attempted another discussion starter. “Do you plan to build a larger house out here? That is what I would do with all of this acreage. I have a lot of property back home in the east.”
Kara thought nothing of his casual brag and ripped into a roll with her teeth before bothering to answer him, this time with a real reply. “I know what you have. You were going to barter land for Lena’s claim, but let me make it clear: that’s not a deal I would ever be willing to make. Lena isn’t property in my eyes. She’s a person who is free to make her own choices.”
Jack’s forehead became tense again as he puzzled over the random outburst and slipped his hand over Lena’s much too affectionately. “You think I just considered my relationship with Lena to be some kind of business deal? That is far from the truth of the situation.”
“Did you bring a new contract with you?” Kara asked and sat forward with her hand outstretched.
Jack pulled a document from his coat jacket and handed it over. “Just because I was observing formalities doesn’t mean that my love for Lena is any less real. Not many alphas would do what I’ve done by coming here.”
Lena believed that Jack was telling the truth, though his honesty counted for very little in Kara’s eyes.
Kara stank up the room with her defensiveness and Alexandra coughed on the fumes as attempted to mediate for Lena’s sake. “We can’t judge. Knowing how Lex operated, I am sure there are many who would pay to liberate Lena from his guardianship.”
Lena wondered if any of them would ask her opinion. She gripped the arms of her chair and let her eyes volley back and forth between those who argued without ever consulting her about her own life circumstances.
“I would be a good mate,” Jack whispered with certainty and turned himself towards Lena to finally involve her in the dispute. “I courted you for months, so you know my heart. I will treat you well if you decide to come with me.”
Lena opened her mouth to disappoint him gently and shivered as Kara intervened faster than she could speak.
“I don’t trust you with her. The trail is too dangerous for a greenhorn like you—”
“Are you saying you won’t grant permission for Lena to leave in my company?” Jack questioned, blinking as his lips turned downward in a frown. “You said moments ago that Lena was not your property. That means she is free to go if she wishes. Doesn’t it?”
Kara sat on the edge of the chair, like one prepared to lunge forward combatively. She shrank back as Jack called her reasoning into question, and unable to contradict herself now, she had to agree with him. “If Lena chooses it, she can go wherever her heart leads her.”
That put the burden on Lena to decide, and Jack grasped her hand in a beseeching effort to influence her. “Come with me. There is a pastor in town who can marry us, and we can depart as soon as your heat breaks.”
“I may have a reason to stay here,” Lena whispered apologetically and glanced towards Kara with inconspicuous longing. “I shall have to think on it.”
She prayed that would satisfy Jack and end the fighting. It seemed to do the trick for him, and he placed his cloth napkin onto his seat as he resigned himself to leave for the night.
“Perhaps by the morning you will have an answer for me,” Jack concluded and bent to kiss Lena’s dainty hand. “Thank you for dinner. I had better head for the inn before sundown.”
Lena was too distracted by his exit to pick up on Kara’s behavior.
The servants cleared the dinner plates in a hurry, and Alexandra gave her sister a shove before she too walked off.
For a peculiar interval, Kara did nothing but stare right at Lena. She seemed soft and uncertain and more vulnerable than when she had been shot all those months ago. It shifted the moment Lena seemed to notice, replaced with a scornful furrow that etched into Kara’s features. The dark and brooding stench of her alpha could have knocked a man out.
“I don’t like him. He’s not right for you, and his hands are too soft,” Kara grumbled, as if that were a decent reason to loathe Jack to such a noticeable degree. She kicked the toe of her boot against the floor and locked her jaw as if trying to hold back a jealous fit.
It worked for a little while, until the words fought their way out of Kara’s throat in a betrayed accusation. “If he meant so much to you that you even have to think about taking him up on his offer, why didn’t you ever mention him before?”
Lena would have remained soft spoken in the face of such a tirade if she didn’t have reason to believe that Kara was still unsure about claiming her. She reached deep for the nettles in her soul, the sharpest parts of her that could pierce and wound.
“You never seemed interested in discussing my suitors. In fact, courtship has been a topic you’ve been rather keen to avoid.”
Returning the glare that settled on her, Lena stood up and advanced across the dining room. “At least Jack is forthcoming about his intentions towards me.”
“Chyeah,” Kara blustered and dropped her arms as she openly rolled her eyes. “He would have paid a fine price to drag you back to New York to who knows what kind of life?”
Lena picked up on the hypocrisy that seized hold of Kara. “You know, for someone who claims I’m not hers, you sure do act like I belong to you.”
Kara scrunched her face up as she postured, and the alpha in her showed itself to be quick with her tongue and slow with her heart.
“If you want to run after a man whose shoes are shinier than all the polished silver on this table, then I’m not stopping you.”
It was wrong to laugh at the person she loved, but the bitter sound freed itself from Lena. “Well, if that’s how you truly feel, then I ought to start packing my things.”
“Why bother? I can have someone bring it all down for you. You can leave right now if you want,” Kara exhaled in distress, so caught up in the argument that she realized at a delay what she had just said. She shook her head as if to implore Lena to reconsider, her jaw going slack as she tried to form words with her throat clamping up.
Lena spotted the tension along the idiot’s neck, and she could have saved Kara’s pride by pleading for what she wanted.
Instead, her brows stitched together in hurt and she took a step back. She left the dining room before she could think through the repercussions and choked back her grief as she hurried out into the dusk.
She had no desire to return to New York, and going to Jack for help struck her as a dreadful plan -- but with the sun going down, her choices went with it, and fear overtook her before rationality.
Bandits, coyotes and mountain cats lurked in the dark, and she ran off like they were chasing after her.
The inn was on the other side of town, and she walked the distance at the gloaming hours of evening. She stepped inside to a reek of whiskey and alpha pheromones, both of which made her feel woozy.
At the bar, an old beta poured out drinks and plunked a small glass down for her. “Well, now, who do we have here? We don’t often get your kind of company.”
Lena perched on the stool in front of the drink and grimaced as she lifted the glass up to swallow over the alcohol. She pretended to sip and put it down as she glanced towards a staircase that led up to other rooms. “Is Jack Spheer boarding here for the night?”
A lot of events coincided at once — the door to the inn shot open, and Kara stepped inside as Jack descended the stairs. Their competitive scents reached her before they did.
“Lena, have you come to accept my proposal?” Jack asked as he extended his arm to help her down from the tall stool.
Lena remained seated and flicked her lashes towards the mate she truly wanted.
Kara dropped onto one knee to take her by the hand, foregoing any pride she might have kept.
“I thought I was doing right by you, lettin’ you decide for yourself who to pick as suitor, but how can that be fair if I never gave you the chance to know how I’m feeling?” Kara asked, the raw emotion of her words coming out as a rasp. She held onto Lena as her chest swelled with labored breaths and begged for forgiveness with the repentant scent of her pheromones.
Jack’s stench was perhaps as hostile as he would get, for he made no move to free Lena from Kara’s grasp. “Be careful, or you’ll bruise her hand.”
Kara shot him a look so sharp that it could have sliced through the tension they created. Everyone in the inn had gone quiet and all eyes were on the three of them as Kara turned her attention back to Lena.
“You ain't as delicate as folks like him believe.” Kara nodded with conviction, her blue eyes stormy as she stared up at Lena and refused to get off her knee. “I know you’d be fine just about anywhere because there’s a strength to you they don’t see. A little desert flower such as yourself can make it through anything, but I don’t think I’d last another day here without you.”
The sweet declaration was as romantic as any gesture Lena could have written herself, and she softened from it.
“Kara–”
“You’re not falling for this nonsense, are you?” Jack cut in, stepping closer to block Kara’s musk from reaching Lena. He must have believed the pheromones could sway Lena’s omega in heat, and he released his own to counter the fragrance. “You don’t belong out here in this filth, Lena. You require finer things. Music and theater and enough books to start your own library–”
“I could build you a library with my own bare hands. A stage if you wanted to sing,” Kara rambled as if she was prepared to begin crafting it that very moment. She sized Jack up with a disdainful jut of her chin and got no farther as the gentleman took Lena by the arm as if he planned to escort her out.
“There’s no life for you out here, Lena,” Jack confided in a hush, as if he was trying to cater to Lena’s need for intimacy. “Think of your future pups, don’t they deserve the best? I can provide everything you require.”
He managed to unseat Lena with a gentle hand on her back, and Kara sprang up to block the swing doors.
Kara had the same gallant fierceness she mustered the day she dueled Lex. She stood tall and proud, her entire muscular body damn near trembling as she glared hatefully at Jack. “Now hold on a minute, it’s my name on the deeds to all of Mr. Luthor’s businesses. If anyone ought to be in charge of them, it’s Lena. She don’t need you or anyone to provide a future.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, it’s an alpha’s place to be in control of the wealth,” Jack scoffed and turned to Lena in mockery of the cowboy as he softened his voice to a tone more soothing for her ears. “Lena, darling, don’t fill your pretty little head with notions of running a company. Come away with me, and I’ll spend the rest of my life treating you as the lady you are.”
Kara’s face paled to a pasty white as she dropped her guard to clasp both of Lena’s hands. “I know I lack the polish you’re used to, but I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone. I won’t stand in your way if you wish to go, because it ain’t my place to make that decision, but if you stay here, I swear I’d marry you tonight.”
Jack exhaled the closest thing to a growl Lena had ever heard from him and pompously tried to sweep Kara aside.
Lena wouldn’t allow it and tugged herself free from his grasp to stagger into Kara’s arms. She pressed a hand to the alpha’s cheek and blinked through the dizzying rush of new love that robbed her of her pride.
“Then do it,” Lena demanded, so quiet and breathless that it took her a second attempt to make herself heard. “Make an honest woman of me and take me home where I belong.”
“Right now?” Kara asked, requiring confirmation before finally following through on the promises she made.
“You heard the lady,” Alexandra spat from outside the inn. She pushed through the door with the same sense of urgency Kara had shown and slipped a small white cloth into her sister’s hand. “I sensed you’d be wanting these the minute you ran off without stopping to pick up your hat. I went ahead and grabbed the pastor along the way while I was at it.”
Kara’s lips were unable to say the thanks she felt on account of how they quivered, but she showed it all the same by pulling Alexandra into a one-armed hug. She took Lena by the hand and hurried into the night while half the townsfolk gathered out of curiosity to observe their union.
It was a tearful event, with Kara revealing the slender wedding bands that once belonged to her parents. They weren’t as flashy as the kind Jack might have chosen, but they were worth more than any jewels Lena had ever owned. She could hardly keep her hands to herself once Kara placed the ring on her finger.
Jack moped by the inn with a bottle of liquor, and Kara paid him no mind as she lifted Lena into her arms and carried her straight home.
They barely stumbled past the threshold before Kara’s lips were upon her, and the kiss turned so ravenous that she had to set Lena down.
“How are you feeling now that you’re mine and about to be a claimed omega?” Kara rumbled the question against the pale tremor of Lena’s throat, her teeth grazing the skin to excite shivers all through her.
“Tired of wearing this dress, for starters,” Lena gasped, her fingers useless in
their pursuit undoing the laces.
Kara was quite happy to oblige her right there in the foyer, and neither of them considered the scandal of being caught by the maids.
She was bare and back in Kara’s arms before she could make further demands. While Kara hurried them upstairs, Lena made use of her time by tugging Kara’s belt loose of its buckle. She stuffed her hand into the tight quarters of Kara’s britches and took the liberty of freeing her mate’s cock before they managed to enter their room.
“Now let me make one thing clear Mrs. Danvers,” Lena rasped against Kara’s jaw, and worked her hand along the sturdy shaft with quick passes. “I may be the lady of this house, but when I join you in bed, I’m not certain I’ll act like one.”
“Then we are going to have a very long and happy marriage,” Kara concluded, her smile conveying the love she had for Lena’s wild and untameable omega.
Lena took several long strides to sit on the bed and entreated Kara to follow with the crook of her finger. She gawked openly at the enormous erection that would soon be inside of her and placed warm kisses over it. Her lips suctioned around the beads of essence that came out in advance of Kara’s seed.
“I do believe this is going to feel magnificent inside of me,” Lena murmured and grabbed at the base to guide Kara’s cock to her mouth.
She satisfied herself with some licking and moved back on the mattress with her thighs widespread. Kara positioned above her and bent down to kiss her at her vulnerable throat. The long-awaited claim was going to ache more than the casual bite, and Lena was prepared too for the brief sting that would come from her first experiences of sex. Her heat made her silky inside and her cunt more penetrable. The configuration of her body also mattered, and she lifted her legs high up with her pussy raised for Kara.
They both gasped as Kara pointed the head of her cock at the pink sheath inside of Lena and rocked forward to slide through it.
Lena craned her neck back and pressed her hands into the headboard as Kara took a slow thrust. The wide tip passed through the enveloping inner petals of her cunt, and Kara held her steady with a hand beneath her backside. It took her several shallow attempts to encase herself in the deeper ripple of Lena’s private striations and she praised her for how she relaxed.
“That’s it, sweetheart, take me in all the way, you’re slick enough for it.”
Lena whimpered as the smooth glide separated her cunt with gradual persistence. Kara’s broad glans throbbed as her shaft rubbed into the hidden contours inside.
The velvety sensation of merging with her mate cinched Lena’s brows together and she opened her mouth in a soft moan of excitement. “I feared you might not fit inside me, but it feels good to be stretched by your cock.”
“Is that what you were thinking all those nights you were in my lap? I could feel you rubbing yourself against me.” Kara whispered against Lena’s neck before she trailed hot kisses down to her breast. She looped her tongue around a nipple and then drew it between her wet lips.
“You should have told me,” Lena gasped, her pelvis lifting in uncoordinated undulations until Kara pinned her hips to the bed. She welcomed the dominance of her alpha with a shuddery exhale and felt the hard ridge of her mate’s cock make room for itself with deeper lunges.
“I was afraid it would put an end to it, and I couldn’t have that,” Kara confessed and nosed into the quivering place of Lena’s throat where her claim belonged.
“You liked how I teased you with my cunt?” Lena inquired and strained underneath Kara, restless from the sensations that came from her core. “I should have lifted my dress and let you see how wet I was just from feeling you.”
Her pussy knew how to respond to the swollen girth inside of it, when to slacken and when to tighten more. They rubbed each other in perfect synchrony, her arousal sliding over Kara’s cock.
“If you did that, I reckon I would’ve asked you to sit in my lap without your clothes on.” Kara nipped in more than one spot on her neck until she decided where to leave her mark.
The bite began as a tender suck, and then Kara sank her teeth in, bringing them both to the edge of elation. The spontaneous change put them more in tune with one another, and Lena wantonly moaned and raised one leg higher as Kara rutted her.
A sense of euphoria coursed through her veins from the claim, and her omega commanded her movements to fulfil all her desires. She rocked into Kara’s powerful thighs with well timed gyrations and finally reached Kara’s base. The turgid protrusion was already half swollen and Lena prickled all over with insatiable greed to have it expand in her sweet little chasm. She’d be sore in the morning with the way she was acting, and Kara didn’t let up on her one bit.
“I wasted many a night laying here thinking of you as I touched myself. You could have had my cunt all summer long, even without a ring on my finger.” Lena was sure she sounded like a harlot and she held no regrets as Kara pistoned into her at a greater speed. The moist sound of their loins coming together was a sure sign of how fertile she was and Lena hoped Kara was pleased by it.
“Don’t think I wasn’t tempted,” Kara husked with her lips trailing the sharp jut of Lena’s jaw. Her alpha was starting to slip through her kind nature to keep Lena’s omega in line. She teased the bite on Lena’s throat with the tip of her tongue and cradled her breast in the warmth of her palm. Kara applied the barest pressure, squeezing just enough to see Lena’s eyes glaze over in a pleasure that overwhelmed her senses.
“Seeing you parading around in those pretty summer dresses, I should have mounted you the first time you flaunted yourself in the parlor.” From the rasp of Kara’s voice, it was clear she was remembering it, and her cock grew stiffer from it. She groaned in delight as Lena laced her fingers through her hair and puckered up for a kiss.
They shared breath as the plump tip of Kara’s erection forced melodic cries out of Lena. She sucked on Kara’s tongue, lost to the calls of her omega as she clamped in warm pulsations around the rigid girth. “Now you needn’t hold back. I’m all yours, Kara, and I expect you’ll be having me daily.”
“Darlin’ you can count on it. You’re too good to be passing up and I know you’ll be needing me to tend to this warm little cunt of yours.” Kara sought out Lena’s ravaged mound and soothed the length of her slit with two fingers. She spread the gloss of their arousal over Lena’s hooded clit and rubbed it to an aching peak.
Lena writhed from pleasure, and it took Kara’s firm hand at the back of her knee to stop her leg from dropping. She draped it over the alpha’s muscled forearm instead, supple and compliant in her eagerness to consummate their union. Now that she understood the true bliss of mating, she would never go without it again.
She tried to convey her newfound appetites by trailing her fingers down Kara’s broad shoulders, grasping only once she reached her backside. The sting of her nails urged Kara forward, and the whole bed frame creaked with her momentum.
“Yes faster, make good use of me so I’ll be ready to repeat this in the morn,” Lena groaned, free of all the inhibitions she had once clung to in order to keep her decency.
She trembled from within, a familiar and breathtaking tension that coiled hot in her belly as Kara diligently drove into her with frantic bucks. The pinnacle was close enough for Lena to taste it and she bowed her back, raising her cunt up in submission for Kara to release the pent up seed that throbbed out of her shaft.
The first of her internal spasms were so powerful her body contorted. She could feel the moment her mate joined her in shaking orgasm, and the captivating new heat inside of her from Kara’s seed.
“Oh, yes, there’s so much of it,” Lena groaned, massaging her pulsating pussy along with Kara, and reaching down to grab hold of the knot base. “I do believe I’m addicted to feeling your seed inside me.”
She rubbed at the beginnings of Kara’s knot, squeezing it to make sure that her cunt would fill with each drop of the fertile output. Kara pulled back to caress her spread inner lips in the aftermath of their shared peak.
“My, you’re incredible,” Kara moaned as her opening refused to stop twitching.
The tiny clenches trapped Kara’s glans inside of her and most of the seed that tried to drip out. Kara gathered it up by sliding back through her entrance and Lena grinned as they kissed and resumed their sensual motions.
Lena sank down on the bed like a breeding animal and presented for Kara to mount her from behind. This proved to be a position she would come to favor during her heat. Her exposed cunt still constricted around Kara and the knot pushed into her on the downward thrusts. She whimpered out incoherent words of lust as she took Kara’s length straight to the base.
Kara lunged with the ambition to meld them into one, and Lena’s excited canal clamped more readily from the rougher treatment. She teetered on another ecstatic wave, her tummy tight with the anticipation of it. Her palms pressed into the bed as she rocked on all fours, blushing with the delicious heat of sex as Kara moved her fully.
“Oh, I will ache from your knot.” Lena whimpered as the girth stretched her for the first time. “It feels far too swollen for my pussy, but so good.”
Kara pumped in long strokes, working her enormous base into the restrictive space of Lena’s cunt. “It’s inside. All of my cock is inside you, Lena.”
The marveling tone filled Lena with pride and she continued her spirited rocking to ensure that they both trembled again. Her jaw clenched as she whined, giving into satisfaction as Kara’s seed emptied in her.
The knot held in the vise of her inner lips, retreating no more as she shuddered orgasmically and succumbed to catching her breath. Kara kissed her and sucked on her claim as Lena’s chest heaved and they both settled down together.
Lena huffed from exhaustion, but her heat was making her into a wanton thing and she had no shame about it. “How long before your knot will release and we can do that again?”
“Not long,” Kara chuckled and stroked the hair from her face. “I have a feeling you are going to test my stamina tonight, aren’t you?”
“I see how you rise before dawn and spend your whole day in the fields. You have plenty of it.” Lena smirked and pulled Kara into a kiss that met her need for affection in the meantime.
In the span one of evening, her life shifted drastically, and Lena understood what true freedom was in the safe and loving embrace of Kara's arms.
