It Doesn't Get Better Then This | ChanLix

8. Explaining the Bite

"Does this mean...?" Chan says, pulling away, looking up at Felix. "Does this mean that we are going to be mates?

"It does. This means that I will be your alpha." I say, smiling softly.

"So I am now, officially, your omega?!" Chan smiles, clapping his hands softly.

"Not quite yet, pup." I say, watching as the other pouts.

"Why not?" he says, looking up with a hint of sadness.

"Awww, don't be sad, pup. It is only because we do not have each others mating marks yet." I explain, rubbing my thumb on Chan's thigh.

"So almost!" Chan says, smiling.

"Yes, sweetie, almost." I say, smiling.

"So when do we get each others mating marks?" Chan says, excitedly.

"Well, since I already promised to help you during your heats, it would be during one of them." I begin explains.

"So in like...." Chan looks up while softly biting his tongue, "A little less then a WEEK!"

"Already? It is already about time?" I wonder, tilting his head.

"Is that bad? Is it too early?" Chan says, pouting.

"No, it is not. It just seems like you just got here but it also feels like you have been here for a long time at the same time. It is not bad, I promise." I begin to explain again.

"So during my heat, we get the marks?"

"Yes. But do you understand how we get the marks, pup?" I ask, smiling as he leans on me.

"Uh, do they show up when you umm, you know?" he says, biting the edge of his bottom lip.

"No sweetie. Do you remember the day that I had asked you to move your head because of my scent gland?" I say, looking down at him, carding my fingers through his hair.

"Yeah. Is it when I touch it for a few minutes, it will appear?" he says, looking up at me.

"Channie, you have to bite me on my scent gland. I have to do the same to you." I slowly explain.

His eyes go wide.

"Will it hurt?!" he exclaims. I quickly calm him down, releasing a scent into the air. He takes a deep breath, relaxing.

"Yes, it will hurt but I will try to make it as painless and quick as possible. It will be sore for the next few hours or so but then the pain of it goes away. I will do my best to distract you during it." I explain, rubbing his back.

"But what about you? It's gonna hurt you!" he says, looking up at me with wide eyes.

"Yes, it will hurt me some, but I have a reasonably high pain tolerance. You don't need to worry about it, pup." He looks up at me, smiling, visibly calmer now.

"Thank you, Lixie!" he says, smiling widely up at me.

I smile down at him. I watch as his eyes begin to squint a little, causing his eyes to develop an eye smile.

"No problem, puppy." He whines and nuzzles into me, blushing at the nickname.

"Let's go to sleep, ok? It is getting late." I explain, smiling down at him.

"Okay!" he kisses my cheek, smiling before climbing back under the covers with me and climbing back on to my lap, laying down on top of me. He hugs me then cuddles closely to me. I smile, kissing his forehead while wrapping my arms around his hips, holding him close to me as he begins to drift off.
