Then you can have it. [ Wulf is close, close enough to smell the gunpowder once more. Just barely his nose brushes down Brad's shoulder while fingers trace along Brad's side, touch gentle yet provocative all the same. The explanation for the offer is simple: ] We could rut together.
[ Wulf's offer is clear, words matching his actions succinctly as he bares the side of his neck, scent gland exposed. ]
To be fair, Wulf is making it really difficult to say no. His forest-flavored smells are clouding Brad's judgement, and the promise of being away from that crowded mansion for even a few days is tempting. It really has been a long time since he's had decent sex too...
But on the negative side, this could very easily trigger an early heat. And while Wulf still thinks he's an alpha now, there would be no explaining away the signs of heat. Also, Brad deliberately avoids sex during his heat to avoid the risk of pregnancy. Even when he was bunking with a beta centuries ago he stuck to that rule. What to do...]
Well. It's not my rut yet, and a vacation here does sound nice.
[He leans in and presses his nose against Wulf's neck, taking in a deep breath of that intoxicating woodsy smell.]
I suppose I could do you a favor, so long as you know how to treat a fellow alpha.
[Truthfully Brad can get wet on his own, thanks to being an omega, but he always summons a bottle of lube to put up the act anyway. Only that one beta has gotten the truth out of him so far, and he's reluctant to open up to anyone else after the betrayal he suffered there.]
No. [ Wulf pulls away just enough to speak against Brad's lips, a promise of what could be. ] Let me give the mana stone to you first. Consider it a courtship gift. [ Something valuable must be consumed quickly and Wulf's already in rut, so in his stubbornness, he only will let himself loose himself if Brad does too. ]
Why not? Isn't a fight as good as a fuck sometimes? [ The expression of touch is what Wulf wants, a healthy way to express his rut with someone able to keep pace with his strength and will. At this Wulf smirks, bringing his nose up behind Brad's ear, his sense of smell still blocked by unwashed blood and muck; so the display is submissive, pampering and playful in nature. ]
Have you never taken a knot before? [ The implication being clear: Wulf has, and liked it too. ]
[Sometimes he doesn't even know if he wants to fight or fuck. He couldn't do either for over a century and now he's itching for both. A fight where the stakes aren't something like "win or the world ends" would be nice.
He gets that implication though, and he grins.]
Didn't take you for the type. Guess I gotta learn more about ya.
[He pauses for just a moment before he answers that question.]
The only man I've ever allowed inside me was a beta, so no. Haven't taken a knot before.
[It's true too. 'The only man' had been his heat partner before their bad breakup a century ago.]
[ Wulf smirks. He's only aggressive to those he doesn't trust. All the wizards fighting the Calamity with the Sage had just proved themselves well enough: Wulf could've died against that enemy alone, pride be damned. When an enemy so large appears, one needs a pack. ]
[ And what is a pack for, if not to blow some steam off with? ]
There's nothing quite like it. After a fight, when all you can see, smell, and taste is your defeat: that's when your rut comes on strongest. [ Wulf's breath is hot, voice like thunder inside his ribs. ] And I trust you wouldn't kill me in such a state. I haven't had that from another in a long time.
[Wulf is right: Brad wouldn't kill someone in their heat or rut. Not to say that he doesn't ever kill people, but there's more nuance to who he chooses to kill.]
Well, out here we're far away from the omegas at the wizard manor. We don't gotta worry about them smellin' anything and goin' into their own heat. So sure, let's have some fun.
[He has been convinced and is just reckless enough to discount the possibility of him getting thrown into his own heat.]
[ Consent was all Wulf needed before he's straddling Brad's lap and pressing in close, every part of them just a whisper away from touching. For all of Wulf's brutality, there is a carefulness to how he behaves, each action intentional. He has to toss his head back just slightly to push his bangs from his eyes, and it's then Wulf moves to bridge the final distance between them, a kiss. ]
[ Only to swerve last moment, reaching past Brad and into the other's discarded outfit. All to pick up the Calamity's mana stone, the gift Brad had offered him. Wulf is in rut and he wants Brad to be as well, so the offer is obvious: Wulf puts the core between his teeth, the temptation to sink down and consume thrashing against his restraint yet easily subdued when confronted. This isn't for him, this is for Brad and the chance to knot and be knotted. ]
[ With that, Wulf lowers his body down, sinking into the hot water and groaning as it laps against broken skin, the pain paired with arousal a potent pair. He wants to growl, to bite, but instead he presses in and pushes the stone against Brad's lips in their first kiss. ]
[Brad is absolutely faked out by that almost-kiss, and for a moment he pouts, but then he sees what Wulf is actually after. He's never kissed someone with a mana stone between them, but today is a day of firsts so he'll try it. He takes the stone between his lips and kisses Wulf around it, savoring their first kiss.
If Wulf will allow it, Brad will try to pull the stone from Wulf's mouth with his own teeth and tongue, attempting to swallow the stone whole. If Wulf is offering it, who is he to say no?]
[ Wulf wants to bare his fangs and fight but his promise is even: Brad gets the stone with no fuss, Wulf only bringing his thumb up to where the shape of it will dissolve down Brad's throat, hand hot and waiting. As that magic orb dissolves from this material plane, Wulf wants to smell the effect it has on Brad, wants to find the missing key to Brad's scent. ]
[ The mana will only take seconds to hit Brad's system and Wulf knows he'll feel Brad grow hard only moments later. ]
[He does grow hard, his dick pressing against Wulf's thigh is enough to prove that. But that's not the only thing to happen here, as brad suddenly finds himself getting wet too. His normally rugged scent is mixed with a sickly sweet one that only appears during his heat, and it makes Brad pull back as his eyes go wide.]
What-
[It appears that Wulf's scent, mixed with the power from that mana stone, are enough to trigger Brad's heat.]
Oh. [ Wulf pulls from the kiss when Brad does, looking down through the heavy water at where they meet, cocks pressed against each other but with the added scent of... ] That's why you hide it. [ In a world where any weakness could be exploited, Wulf understands why Brad had been keeping his scent chemically disguised. Now Wulf can smell who Brad is fully, the depth of the smoke, the blackpowder, the bite of winter already on the air. Honestly, Wulf finds Brad smelling like home. ]
[ Now with the truth between them, Wulf finds himself curious. He'd never been fucked by an omega before: his knot was thick, cock fat and long so most omegas enjoyed what he could offer. The option of submission had been given and Wulf doesn't plan on letting inexperience taint this planned rut. Wulf keeps his neck bared, lips brushing against the spur of Brad's jaw in appeasement. ]
[Wulf might be calm, but Brad is instantly on edge. Secrets like this do get exploited, and while he may be an omega he still knows how to posture like an alpha.]
Yeah, that's why I fucking hide it. And it's why you'll never tell either.
[He could threaten to kill Wulf if he ever tells, but he decides the threat is implicit. Besides, if Wulf is courting him then he probably isn't interested in betraying Brad, right?
Brad growls deeply as he grinds against Wulf's dick. The heat may be sinking in but he's still Bradley Bain, and Bradley Bain doesn't act weak.]
Don't think I can't fuck you senseless either, just because I ain't got a knot don't mean I can't fuck you so good you'll be feeling it for a week.
[His eloquence seems to be deteriorating the more he gets turned on too.]
You'll have to prove it. [ Wulf's threshold for punishment is bottomless when he decides on what he wants. Brad will have to be able to knock Wulf's lockjaw; find a way to keep his brain numbed and alpha submissive. ]
[ Wulf rides Brad easily as the other begins to buck, pressing down against the other and keeping Brad's cock tucked against the velvet skin of Wulf's sac and flaccid prick. One hand aids Wulf in keeping them slotted together while the other grips the rocks behind Brad's head, nails digging into slate as his own senses begin to perk. ] Pain doesn't really scare me.
[Brad doesn't leave it to words though. He slips a hand around Wulf's waist and grabs one of his asscheeks firmly, as if to ask if that excites Wulf too.]
You don't feel too excited yet, so maybe I gotta work ya up.
More than that. [ It purifies him, pain, sets his mind towards a single goal. Nothing cuts through to the truth faster than suffering. Sometimes that truth is pleasure. ]
[ Wulf groans against Brad's neck as Brad grips him, tightening his hold on their cocks before picking up a pace of his own, grinding down against Bradley and back against the other's hand all the same. Fortunately, it doesn't take much for Wulf's full girth to come to light, and he's biting his lip to keep his moans hidden as he rocks against Brad and hides his nose against Brad's neck. ]
I haven't fucked on a mattress in centuries and I don't plan on starting. [ Wulf goes as his hair is pulled, back arching and dusky nipples pert on his lean chest. He's smirking, he's fielding what Brad dishes out easily, hips still maintaining the pace, the pressure, the intensity. ] Nature always finds a way. [ Nature gives exactly what's needed to win to those who are strong enough to use it. Wulf's prolonged survival in the wilderness is living proof of the philosophy. ]
Anyway, since Wulf is responding so well to having his hair pulled, he will yank on it very suddenly to pull Wulf's face away from his neck so he can look Wulf in the eyes as he speaks in a more serious tone.]
No claiming me. I'll gut you where you stand if you even try.
[That is something worth stating a threat over. Sex is fine, but Brad belongs to nobody and wants to keep it that way.]
And if I prove myself in courtship? [ Brad issues the declaration and Wulf gives the challenge. His fangs ache to bite, and his own scent glands demand to be bitten. Maybe Brad could be someone to pick one of those spots for his own, imprinting a bond. ]
[ Wulf already plans on offering his wrists to the Sage. A show of true fealty. ]
[This is probably the worst time to talk about courtship because Brad's heat makes him want to be courted. The omega within him aches for the safety and security that being claimed gives, and Brad has to fight those instincts to keep himself free from the complications that come with being claimed.]
...we'll see. But for now, no biting my neck. And I won't bite yours.
[But biting elsewhere is fine, evidenced by how Brad tugs Wulf in so he can kiss the man roughly. He still wants sex after all, even if no claiming is involved.]
[ Brad's kiss into Wulf's mouth is an attack, forceful and biting and Wulf groans at the onslaught while relenting to Brad's stipulation. No claiming this rut. ]
[ With that, Wulf finally releases his hold on the brim of the hot spring and reaches behind himself, fingering himself open. He's still far too conscious to let Bradly take complete control, at least not yet. ]
[Well shit, if Wulf is going to put on a show for Brad, Brad will watch eagerly. He grins into their kiss before pulling away just far enough to egg Wulf on.]
Givin' me a show? I know a spell that can help with that.
[ Brad thinks Wulf's prep is a show and perhaps it is. Wulf's head is bowed and back curved so he can reach behind himself: long, strong body contorted in a way that would be pathetic for an alpha to be caught in. Wulf grins, the biting pain pleasing as he begins pressing in against himself. ] Then do it. I'm getting bored.
