“You smell so fucking good, Mackenzie.”

The next few moments were a blur as we tore at our clothes, trying to get them off. I broke my lips away from his with a sudden panicked thought.

“I’ve never been with an omega.”

“Me either.” He licked his lips and added, “are you… I’m on the shot.”

“Me, too.” The no babies thing was really the only thing Daryl and I agreed on. “And I…” My face flared with an odd kind of shame.

“Tell me,” he said softly, his fingers tracing my cheek.

“I’ve only ever been with one man. One alpha.” Well, not technically. My last heat didn’t count. I barely remembered it.

“Oh,” he said brightly. “Here’s a secret the alphas won’t tell you. They all pretty much work the same.”

He gestured to his crotch, then grinned. “Except, no knot with this one.”

Suddenly, I got caught up in my feelings, the past few months crashing around me. But Theo was right there to catch me. He cupped my face and kissed my lips softly.

“You first,” he said, maneuvering me gently onto my back in the middle of the double bed.

Tingles shot through me as he dragged my panties down. I didn’t even get to kick both my feet free before Theo settled between my thighs. My “oh” of surprise turned into a moan when he gently pushed a finger inside me. Daryl hadn’t been the biggest fan of oral. He was all about the knot.

“Omegas just need knots.”

The second Theo’s tongue touched me, I forgot to be self-conscious about it.

My eyes rolled back into my head. The friction of his fingers in me felt different, like he was discovering new sensitive places. The pressure of his tongue constantly changed, whisper soft at first, then more insistent.

I came up on my elbows to see what he was doing. He had one hand on my leg, holding me open for his tongue, the other was… a tiny scream escaped when he found just the right spot. I fell back and he didn’t stop. It felt like his lips closed around my clit, sucking it into his mouth. The tiny scream got bigger as I came in a blinding flash. And he didn’t stop.

“Theo!”

I grabbed fistfuls of the sheets as I fell off the cliff again and again, like that was the only thing holding me together.

“I can’t wait anymore.” Theo gasped.

Suddenly his mouth was on mine, his tongue stroking into me along with his cock. My back arched so hard it tore me away from him. I wrapped my legs around him to pull him as deep as possible, no knot between us.

“You okay?” Theo said from above me, his arms shaking.

“That was…” I nodded.

“Can we go fast?”

“Yes, fast, fuck, yes.” I babbled until the ability to even breathe left me. I wrapped my arms around Theo’s neck. The short, quick strokes hit my clit again and again. So different from a knot, more focused, more intense.

He groaned out a curse. I felt him come in me… and around me. Almost like a knot, where there was that heartbeat of togetherness, auras touching.

He sagged against me and then rolled to the side. The second he slipped from me it was like a static shock, snapping that togetherness feeling.

I stared up at the ceiling, trying to remember how to breathe.

“Is sex with all omegas like that?” Theo asked between ragged breaths.

“Slick. Is it the slick? Because that was…”

“Why are we fucking alphas?"
