Mistake.
Devastingly beautiful in it's irony. A foolish split second decision made in the literal heat of the moment.
That's what he had been all of his life. A mistake.
Something which should not have occurred. Something which, if time could be reversed and it could be done over again, would not have existed.
And he was determined for history not to repeat it's self.
...
He could barely walk.
It was only the second day and he could barely walk.
The thought was almost amusing as he struggled to somehow make it to the bathroom, trying to figure out which side to favor. His right seemed to be winning, and glancing downwards he realized just why that was.
Because there was a giant bite mark currently embedded into his thigh. Two perfectly rows of teeth imprinted into his skin, the wound still slightly weeping with each step he took.
Distantly he recalled it happened. Knew that the alpha had been on his knees between his legs, sucking up his slick like it was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted.
And okay, maybe it was because he had complained that he was too tender to keep going and Jungkook had made some desperate attempt to heal his sore sex with his saliva.
He had opened his smart mouth - because of course he had. He lacked the capacity not to - and the retaliation had been swift and painful. A wound so deep that it hurt to even touch. And he knew that it was going to scar. That his neck was no longer going to be the only place where he would carry marks of the alpha's ownership.
It was almost strange how little he cared.
He wanted a bath. Wanted to sink down into the hot water and let it soothe his sore muscles. Wanted it to ease away the ache that had settled into his core. Because he didn't know how he was supposed to make it through another day of this let alone more than that.
But the water was already running and he found himself groaning silently. Because the alpha had proven completely insatiable. Unlike his heat, the presence of his mates knot did absolutely nothing to calm his rut. It didn't matter how many times it popped inside him, or how swollen he became, it never seemed to be enough.
"Listen before you get any ideas I just really need you to know that my pussy is currently off limits." The words were spoken as he opened the door, fully expecting to find the alpha in the shower, hand wrapped around his own cock.
Instead he found him bent over the tub, pouring what appeared to be some sort of heavily scent crystals into the heated water. It was deep and woodsy, with hints of lavender around the edges and he instantly found himself calming. Found the tension easing out of his muscles and the stress leaving his over stimulated nerves.
There were bubbles, and he sighed at the sight of them. Leaned out and scooped his hand through the thick foam and actually giggled.
"I didn't think you were the type to take bubble baths." Flattening his hand, he gently blew the bubbles at the alpha, laughing as some of them landed on his cute little bunny nose.
"I'm not." He watched as the other reached forward, scooping up some of the bubbles and flicking them at him. "But I gotta find some way to apologize to my omega for being so rough with him."
"It's alright, alpha. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle." Actually that was a complete lie. He knew for a fact he had yelled for at least three minutes straight when the bite to his thigh had occurred.
