Counting Stars

Chapter 9

A sleepy groan escaped Brian as he stretched out slightly, taking a couple of seconds to register the warmth at his back and the strong arm wrapped around his waist. Looking over his shoulder, he was blinking as he found Dom asleep behind him, realising his presence hadn't in fact been his heat playing tricks on him.

He could still feel the faint tension in his belly of the demanding heat, the Alpha having only helped him out in the throes of his heat. Just with his fingers and his tongue at one point. But that had been all it had gotten to, the blonde lowering his head with a quiet sigh.

Perhaps only to shut him up so Dom could finally get some sleep, thought the fact he had remained with him instead of returning to his own room made Brian unsure about that idea. However, he kept his head ducked as he felt Dom stirring behind him, the Alpha grunting sleepily before the arm around the blonde's waist tugged him closer as Dom soon nuzzled behind his ear. "How're you doing?"

Biting his lip as he felt his face redden in a faint blush, he gave a small shrug in response at first, even as he relaxed back into the embrace. "O-okay..I'm sorry. For disturbing you."

Closing his eyes as he felt Dom push himself up onto his elbows, he sighed again as he waited for the rejection, expecting annoyance from Dom before pausing in surprise at the gentle touch to his chin, forcing his head up to meet Dom's gaze even though he kept his eyes closed. "No need to apologise, Bri. I came here of my own choice, if that is what you're worrying about."

Opening his eyes finally at the unexpected words, he frowned as he looked up to him in surprise, the Alpha having to nod in reassurance at the silent query, one hand caressing lightly over his cheek before Brian smiled, though the frown deepened as he paused once again. "Then why did you leave earlier? I thought you weren't interested..."

"I was.." Dom seemed quick to understand what Brian was referring to, ducking his head in apology as he pressed a kiss to the Omega's forehead. "I guess I never thought you'd feel the same as I do. You were in heat, so I thought any response or plea would be the heat talking, that I wouldn't have your consent to..~"

He was quick to cut the Alpha off as he pressed up to kiss him, managing to roll over to face him without breaking the kiss, the two only pulling apart to catch their breaths as Brian held his gaze. "Well, there's your consent.."

❖ ❖ ❖

Dom couldn't have been more relieved at Brian's response, knowing Brian had been the one talking, not his heat making him say so. Despite the spike in the blonde's scent warning them both of the next wave of heat, he had insisted first that Brian eat the dinner Dom had brought then lead him to the bathroom for a cool shower.

He had initially planned for Brian to have the shower to himself, but an unexpected tug from the blonde sent him tumbling under the water, not taking long for his clothes to become soaked. Seeing the grin on Brian's face at his success, the Alpha growled before tackling the other man playfully, chuckling as he finally managed to pin the blonde against the shower wall. "And what was that for?"

He could tell despite not being able to see his face that Brian was still grinning, perhaps even more than he already had if that was possible and more relaxed than Dom had ever seen him as he teased with a casual shrug. "Dunno, thought it would be a good excuse to get your clothes off."

The Omega managed to free an arm, twisting it around to emphasise his statement with a tug on his shirt, Dom drawing a moan from him soon after with a nip to his ear before pulling back enough to tug the now clinging fabric off him. Brian took advantage of the space to twist around, pupils blown wide as he attempted and failed to muffle the appreciative purr that escaped him, the blonde running his hands along the Alpha's chest. Unable to stay still for long, Dom was quick to rush forwards to claim his lips once more in a hungry kiss, Brian quick to lean into the kiss with a happy hum.

By the time they broke apart for breath, the small bathroom was already swamped in the smell of heat and arousal, Dom barely managing to hold onto his focus long enough to quickly wash Brian and himself before they had tumbled out to dry themselves.

❖ ❖ ❖

The blonde sprawled on the bed as soon as Dom had nudged him onto it, smiling at him as the Alpha kneeled between his eagerly spread legs, hands smoothing along them before sliding up his sides until he was leaning over Brian. He didn't give the Alpha a chance to speak as he raised his head to kiss him, hands sliding along the well muscled torso of the man above him. Too soon for his liking however, Dom pulled away to trail light kisses and nips along his jaw and down to his neck, a thumb pressing lightly against the underside of his jaw to tilt his head up for better access. The amount of slick escaping him had increased as Dom grinded his hips against him, the heat in his belly spiking to a wildfire. "D-Dom..please."

The Alpha raised his head at the whine in his voice, surging forward for a bruising kiss as his fingers circled lightly over the entrance, collecting the slick there before pushing into his slick passage, drawing a moan from Brian as he tilted his head back against the mattress. After a couple of minutes, he hooked his leg around his waist to tug him closer, using the newfound leverage to thrust up onto his fingers, groaning as his fingers brushed over his prostate. " Alpha ."

Another whine escaped him as Dom's fingers disappeared, leaving him feeling bereft until, with a sharp thrust, Dom buried himself to the hilt, the faint hint of his knot pressed up against the Omega's ass. Another moan escaped him, tilting his head up as Dom leaned back down to kiss him, holding himself still until Brian tightened his leg around his waist in encouragement.

He soon began to move, long slow thrusts at first that soon sped up to sweep everything else away with the waves of pleasure as he shifted, aiming for Brian's prostate with each thrust. Sparks flew behind the blonde's closed eyes as each thrust pushed him higher and higher in his pleasure, one hand gripping tightly to his side as he nipped at Dom's lip, drawing a small growl from the Alpha as he shifted against him, the curling of his hips striking just the right spot to send Brian moaning over the edge, tightening around Dom. As the pleasure overwhelmed him, he felt Dom thrust a couple more times, his knot soon pressing into Brian to lock them together as he filled him with his release, groaning softly into the crook of the blonde's shoulder.

Sighing Brian's name softly, Dom gently rolled them onto their sides, the Omega keeping a leg hooked over his waist as he nuzzled against his neck, the two basking in the pleasant afterglow of their orgasms. With a small hum, Brian relaxed against Dom as he felt the Alpha brush a hand through his hair before a kiss was pressed to the top of his head. "Sleep,"
