Chapter 33

It was late, and they’d been trying to sleep for over an hour, but Vernon could see it just wasn’t happening for Seungkwan.

“What do you need?”

Seungkwan just shook his head, throwing an arm over his eyes.

Vernon knew the early stages of heat could be like that, making an omega uncomfortable in their skin without providing a clear path to relief.

“Can I try something?”

Seungkwan squirmed around and let his arm fall away.

“I don’t think I’m up for another round of sex. I’m so tired. I just can’t shut my mind and body off enough to sleep.”

“I wasn’t thinking sex, exactly. Just something to relax you. I’d do all the work; you’d just have to lie there.”

The omega nodded, lifting his head to follow Vernon’s movement.

“Sounds good to me. What did you have in— Oh.”

Vernon tugged back the covers and slid down the bed until he was at eye level with Seungkwan’s groin.

“This okay?”

Seungkwan swallowed hard and laid his head back down on the pillow. “Very okay.”

Chuckling, Vernon wrapped his fingers around the base of Seungkwan’s shaft. He didn’t want to draw this out, didn’t want to tease the omega. Seungkwan was exhausted, and his heat would only be stronger come morning. He needed relief and rest.

With a hum of anticipation, Vernon opened his mouth and took Seungkwan inside. The omega’s hips lifted off the bed as he moaned, long and low.

Vernon pressed down gently but firmly, needing as much control as he could get given the angle. His tongue teased the underside of Seungkwan’s cock, groaning in pleasure at the taste. He hummed again, knowing how the vibrations would feel across the omega’s sensitive skin.

Seungkwan panted above him, struggling to be still and not thrust upward.

Once Vernon was confident of his position, he eased his hand away from Seungkwan’s hips and let him thrust up into his mouth, taking shallow breaths through his nose as his lips and tongue worked Seungkwan carefully.

It didn’t take much for Seungkwan to climax, a startled shout escaping the omega’s flushed lips. Vernon caught his hips to still him as he swallowed around Seungkwan, slowly pulling back.

He glanced up at his soon-to-be mate, finding Seungkwan floppy and relaxed against the mattress. He pushed up the bed to lie with him, tugging Seungkwan to lie with his head pressed against Vernon’s chest, right over his heart. Seungkwan was asleep in minutes, his face peaceful, a calm settling over the room. It didn’t take long for Vernon to follow suit, worn out by the day’s events and knowing that tomorrow held plenty more excitement.

Seungkwan’s heat reached full swing early the next morning. In contrast to the restless first half of the night, he fell into a deep sleep for the second, waking after dawn. Vernon hustled him out of bed and into the shower, climbing in with him. Seungkwan’s groan of pleasure as the water cascaded over him went straight to Vernon’s groin. He urged his body to calm, not wanting to get ahead of himself. They were all over each other in the shower, taking turns washing each other, soapy hands gliding across smooth skin.

Vernon cupped Seungkwan’s chin in his hand, running his thumb over the omega’s lips.

“You’re almost healed.”

“Yeah,” Seungkwan said hoarsely, clearly distracted by Vernon’s touch. “It’s weird, I’m normally much slower to heal.”

Frowning, Vernon took a closer look.
