Jimin had the feeling that he had just fallen asleep when the intense smell of slick and his mate mewling the word alpha suddenly woke him up again. Instantly wide awake, he opened his eyes, his cock stirring in interest. To his surprise, Jeongguk wasn't talking in his sleep as he had first suspected. Instead, the omega turned to him in his embrace and wrapped his arms around his neck, kissing him hungrily.
While Jimin was still processing the unexpected change in his mate's mood, Jeongguk pulled away from him again, lay on his stomach and pushed his pyjama pants down far enough to expose his perky ass, otherwise still fully clothed. Then he lifted his tasty butt up in the air as if he was presenting to his alpha. If Jimin didn't know any better, he would have thought Jeongguk was in heat. Because those were the only phases in which he would ever present like that. That was impossible though, not only because their cycles had long since aligned and he knew the exact periods, but because the omega was four months pregnant.
Jimin sat frozen in the bed and didn't move. Something was very strange here, even the other's scent felt off kilter. And he had a bad feeling that it had nothing to do with his mate's hormones. "What's going on, Jeongguk-ah?"
The omega turned his head to the side and gazed up at him from under his long eyelashes. "What are you waiting for, alpha? Come on, fuck me, I know you want to." He wriggled his ass, his tone challenging. "Hurry up."
Jeongguk's words combined with the position in which he said them rubbed Jimin the wrong way. He wanted nothing more than to be close to his omega, but not like this, not when every fibre of his being was screaming at him that something was wrong. Aside from the fact that he generally preferred to take his time rather than have a quickie, which his mate usually appreciated, he knew that Jeongguk hated having sex in this position outside of his heats. He couldn't understand why this suddenly should have changed.
"Please finally tell me what's going on, Ggukie." Jimin begged, his voice pleading, his gaze imploring. "You told me on our third date that you don't like to be taken from behind before we even had sex for the first time. You want me to hold you tight and kiss you while I fuck you. Hell, you don't even want me to fuck you, you want me to make love to you."
"I simply changed my mind, okay?" Jeongguk answered defiantly yet unable to look him in the eyes. "Would you finally fuck me now?"
"No!" Jimin replied through gritted teeth, followed by a deep menacing growl. Something inside him snapped and he threw himself onto his omega. With firm yet gentle grips he manhandled him until Jeongguk was lying on his back, the alpha looming menacingly above him. One hand around his throat in a rare display of dominance, careful not to restrict his air supply, his thumb caressing the smooth skin, Jimin forced his mate to look him in the eyes before he continued in a deep voice. "Don't do this. Tell me the truth or say you don't want to talk about it and I'll accept it, even though I'm dying to know what's bothering you; what I've done to cause this behaviour. But don't you dare lie to my face. You're not like that. We're not like that."
Jimin could watch as the omega's tough façade slowly crumbled and tears began to well in his large brown eyes. "You're right." He conceded quietly, guilt evident in his tone and seeping into his scent. "I'm sorry."
An intake of breath later, Jeongguk started sobbing and the alpha immediately hugged him tightly, his hands carding through his curly hair as he gently scented him to calm him down. "I'm sorry I'm crying. It's just the stupid hormones." His mate added, sniffing.
Jimin pulled him even closer and then leaned against the headboard of their bed, with Jeongguk in his lap, straddling his hips. "It's okay, sweetheart, I know this is not easy for you. All of this is new for both of us but please don't shut me out. Tell me what's wrong."
