The Devil, the Beauty, and the Beast (short story)

Chapter 3

It feels so delicious, opening his eyes to the feeling of two strong, protective arms coiled around his waist – one from either side of him.

Rain yawns and rubs his cheek against the pillow like a kitten to wake himself up properly while the day swims softly into focus. Phayu makes a dark little noise in the back of his throat when he feels the slight movement. He shifts closer to Rain, laying his cheek onto his neck. The Omega coos softly at the little gesture and kisses Phayu's forehead before he lets his head loll to the other side. Prapai is fast asleep on the bend of his arm. The Alpha's lips are parted ever so slightly and he looks sweetly innocent like this, a few strands of his hair slipping to brush his cheek.

Rain smiles at the sight, stretches, and turns onto his back. His shuffling makes both Alphas breathe deeper for a moment, and then Phayu blinks, lashes fluttering to unveil the obsidian-black of his eyes.

"Good morning, bunny," he rasps in that painfully attractive, hoarse voice of his that always lasts until he's had his morning coffee and wakes up properly.

Rain nuzzles his face with an eager purr, happy to have one of his Alphas awake already. He loves to sleep in on weekends and holidays, but once he does wake up, he wants to play, wants to cuddle and kiss and roll around the bed for a while to enjoy their free time together.

"Morning, P'Phayu," he chirps, and the Alpha smiles as he leans forward to place a tiny little kiss on Rain's nose.

"Someone's in a good mood, hm?"

The Omega just smiles and strains his neck for more kisses, still reluctant to turn around fully while Prapai is sleeping on his arm, trapping it beneath a cascade of raven hair and breathing warmly against it. By now, Rain feels numb below the shoulder, but that's a small price to pay in exchange for seeing his Alpha sleep so soundly.

"We're on holiday, how can I not be?" he says with a playful purse of his lips. "I have you both all to myself. All day long. For five days, at that."

Phayu laughs quietly and tightens his hold around Rain's hips. He shifts closer and leans over the Omega, his long hair pouring over his shoulders unrestrained like a waterfall of liquid onyx. Fascinated, Rain reaches up to run his hands through it, marvelling at the silky-soft sensation. His Alpha watches, amused, and does the same to him, stroking his gorgeous hair back where it's splayed out on the pillow like the waves of a caramel ocean.

"My pretty little boy," he whispers and leans down, lips meeting in a tender kiss.

Purring, Rain hooks one leg over his waist, and Phayu feels desire flood his body, hot and sharp. He throws the sheets off of them with one fluid, impatient movement and settles over his boyfriend to trail an array of hot, open-mouthed kisses down his neck. Rain knocks his head back to bare his throat and moans. The sound is like an incentive, an instinctive plea for more from his Alpha. For a moment, Phayu scrutinizes his face, content with the pleasure-haze that clouds his mate's eyes.

"Starting without me, are you?" a voice suddenly mutters and Rain yelps when Prapai shifts off his arm so abruptly it nearly hurts when the blood starts flowing into it again.

"In the time it takes you to wake up, I could breed him over and over again," Phayu taunts him without ever taking his lips off of the Omega's chest. "You can wait your turn now."

Prapai scoffs, but he knows better than to complain. Phayu has been, is, will always be Rain's first. Instead of going against the clear display of dominance, he tilts their Omega's head even further back and devours his mouth. Phayu works himself down to Rain's nipples, giving each of them a brief, teasing suck before moving lower. He kisses along his boyfriend's inner thighs before he settles on the mattress and presses a lingering kiss to the Omega's clit.
