F.E.A.R (Forget Everything And Run...Or Face Everything And Rise) - KimChay Au

Chapter 6

(Chay is in heat.......Kim is struggling with both his memories and his actions.......and as if that isn't enough, an unwanted visitor appears in the house.)

Kim managed to half carry, half steer, Chay back into the house, still half asleep and not wanting to wake him up. After placing Chay gently down on his bed, Kim stilled.........what was he supposed to do now? Chay was sleeping fully dressed, Kim hadn't even stopped downstairs to take the younger man's shoes off. Should he remove the shoes and jacket? Get some cold water from the bathroom sink and try and cool Chay down a little? He didn't know. Omega's did often get warmer during their heat, and although Chay's wasn't here quite yet, it was certainly close. Chay hadn't mentioned anything about his heats, but that was perfectly normal if they were not mates, or even in a relationship, as the small fragments of memories returning to Kim seemed to be confirming.

Should he lock Chay in the room?

Lock himself in the spare room?

No, neither of those would do, as Chay would need care during his heat.........and Kim was the only one in the house.

How did Chay normally deal with his heats? Did Chay have a heat partner who was going to descend on them tomorrow? How in the hell would he manage to hold himself back if that happened? Had Chay even had one since Porsche had left to be with Kinn........Kinn, your brother......Kim's mind supplied and Kim growled, slapping his hand across his mouth as Chay stirred at the noise. Silently Kim removed himself from the room, shutting the door behind him. The problem of Chay's heat could wait until he woke up, it wasn't Kim's place to be thinking about that right now. Deciding that the best thing to do was to get some fresh air, go down to the corner shop and buy the supplies Chay would need for the upcoming week, whatever happened. And while he was at it, try and ignore all the ways his family had apparently fucked up Chay's life, either himself or his damn brother! Kim had been too busy being furious at the Alpha that day that he hadn't noticed the slight similarities in their scents. Similarities which only came from being blood related. He had broken Chay's trust and heart, and Kinn had taken away Chay's brother..........Kim didn't want to think about what his family aimed to take from his kitten next.

As he locked the doors securely and pocketed the key, a dangerous rumble emerged from his throat, aimed outwards at anyone who could hear.

Kim didn't care that Kinn was mated with Chay's brother, and that Chay obviously still cared for the Alpha. If anyone from that family wanted to harm his Omega, cause him anymore heartache, then he would rip them to pieces.........Kim might not know exactly what he had done wrong, but he knew he had done something....... and was determined to fix it!

It turned out that sleeping in the spare room wasn't the answer Kim had been needing. Not only had he been sleeping in Chay's room for the past week, so his scent was all over that one and not this one, but in opening the clothing bag Chay had let just enough of Porsche's scent into the room to drive Kim up the wall. Kim was already on edge, knowing that there was an Omega just a few feet away from him, currently heading into heat, and didn't need another Alpha's scent pushing over that mental cliff. Chay's brother or not............Kim didn't want that damn scent in the house! Add all that to the fact that locking the door had just reinforced the fact that there WAS a reason he needed to lock himself in..........and his inner Alpha was practically clawing at his mind to run to Chay's room and take, claim, mate!

He was going to go insane at this rate, and the thing had hardly started.

Kim thought about taking Chay's phone and calling Porsche for advice, but the man would probably want to come over to the house and take over. Seeing the way Chay had reacted last time Porche had tried that, and considering how close to the edge Kim now stood himself, that wasn't the best idea. Still he had manged to get through the first night without any problems.......now he just had to keep his composure and self-restraint through the actual heat itself.
