Sean's breath hitched in his throat as Nate pulled slowly from their passionate kiss. Giving him a small smile, Nate breathlessly whispered to him. "Last chance to back out." Sean saw Nate's eyes struggling to surpass the wolf beneath the surface. Sean pulled Nathan's leather jacket off the couch and dropped it to the floor to get it out of their way, while whispering over his lips. "I trust you." Nate brushed his cheek against Sean's, replying in a deep husky voice. "You shouldn't... I've never been around an Omega... I could lose control with a scent like yours." Leaning in, Sean licked Nate's ear lightly. A deep groan rumbled from Nate, giving Sean goosebumps. Sean couldn't believe what he was doing. For the first time, he felt like he was a bad pup. This felt dirty. Nate's hands moved along his clothed thighs, going straight to his belt. Sean went back to gripping Nate's flexing biceps. He could feel his hands moving but couldn't bring himself to look at what he was doing. He could barely look Nate in the eyes. Feeling the fabric open, Sean inhaled sharply, his legs tensing hard enough that he shifted on Nate's lap. Nate's hands moved away to hold his waist, telling him in a deep soothing tone of voice. "Easy. I just want to pet... all of you."

Sean's cheeks burned so bad that the tips of his ears felt warm. Nate's lips found the tip of his ear, giving it a little playful nip. Sean cringed from the sensation of his teeth, a tiny whine leaving him. Nate's teeth retracted off his ear, his soft lips replacing them to suck on his ear. Sean panted heavily, resorting to biting his own lip to try and collect himself. He was such a bundle of nerves and feelings. He could barely focus beyond primal desire. When Nate suddenly leaned away, Sean's fragile eyes darted to look at him. Had he done something wrong? Nate flashed him a grin, then grabbed his shirt to pull it off himself. Sean swallowed, unable to keep himself from looking as the shirt revealed his abs and chest. Nathan wasn't as muscular as the Alphas, but he came damn close. His six-pack was defined and awoke a strange feeling in Sean. Seeing him like this made him feel... protected. Hesitantly, Sean reached out to touch his abs. He'd never touched a Beta or an Alpha to this degree. Nate inhaled as Sean's fingers moved along the grooves of his muscles. His skin felt so warm and soft. Even for having so many healed scars. Upon running his fingers over a red scar along his side, Nathan grabbed his wrist and winced out through his teeth. "Careful... Those are still... healing." Sean curled his fingers back, mumbling out a little timid. "Sorry."

Nate loosened his grip on his wrist, sliding his hand up his arm to cup his face. Bringing him closer, Nate warmly whispered over his lips. "It's ok. Just be careful. Pain brings out... other things." Sean nodded, kissing him again. Nate's hands wrapped around him, holding his hips up against him. Sean squealed into the kiss, then clung to him as Nate hefted him up to lay him back across the couch. Sean's hands went to Nathan's chest, trying to keep him off him in order to breathe. Nathan adjusted onto all fours over him, keeping his body off him but continued kissing him passionately. Sean's legs rose to lock his knees against Nathan's hips. His body was shaking a little and trying to keep Nate from putting him in a position that he wouldn't be able to get out of. Nate didn't even seem to mind that Sean was keeping him from laying down over him. The longer he stayed off him, the more relaxed Sean became. Breaking the kiss, Nate told him with a smile. "It's ok. It's just easier to touch you this way." Sean blushed, mumbling out nervously. "Sure... but you are also more... intimidating like this." Nate's eyes were soft when he told him. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Sean nodded, shakily answering. "I know... but I can't..." Nate sniffed his neck and Sean cringed. He could imagine the smell of his fear was getting stronger. Nate climbed off him, moving to sit on the floor beside the couch. Sean sat up and was going to apologize again. He felt like he was ruining this. Why was he so scared? Nathan took his wrist, coaxing him down with him. Sean started to slide off the couch, surprised that Nate guided him over him. Bracing over him on all fours, Sean blushed and asked curiously. "What are you doing?" Nathan laid his arms up over his head, telling him calmly. "I'm giving you room to breath and move. I'm less intimidating like this, right?" Sean nodded, but anxiously said. "I don't know what to do..." Nathan shrugged, informing him coolly. "What do you want to do with me?" Sean huffed, his cheeks burning more. Nathan carefully took his wrist, putting it on his chest. Sean gulped, feeling how strong and steady Nathan's heart was. Stroking his wrist, Nate told him comfortingly. "Pet me. Aren't you just as curious as I am?" Exhaling, Sean sat down on Nathan's thighs and slowly moved his hands over Nathan's torso.

Although, they generally had the same parts, it was still strange to think about how different they were. Nathan's body was all muscle. He was designed to fight and yet... his body's soft and warm skin drew him in. His instincts told him to snuggle with him. They told him that he'd feel safe if he got closer. Leaning in, Sean kissed Nate's chest and smiled when Nathan tensed beneath him. While kissing spots over Nathan's chest, Sean watched Nathan's hands move across the carpet to grab the legs of the couch and coffee table. Moving to his abs, Sean licked along the grooves of his muscles, listening to the wooden legs strain under Nathan's strong hold on them. Nathan's grip would tighten and then slowly relax. Reaching his hips, Sean kissed a warm spot beneath Nathan's belly button. A deep pleasant growl left Nathan, his lips parting to show that his canines were growing out. Sean's hands shook when he started to reach for Nathan's belt. His fingers touched the metal, but he hesitated to unbuckle it. Did he want to bring out something so dangerous? Part of him wanted to see it... but was it worth the risk? If he kept his pants on, it would be harder for him to mount him.

Sean struggled to make a decision, until Nathan jerked upright. Sean backed up from him, hopping up onto his feet in case he had to run. Nathan beckoned him closer, telling him with a look that was all lust. The smell of Nathan's lusty pheromones were hard to pull away from. Crawling back to him, Sean leaned in to kiss him. Sean could feel Nathan holding back, but he was trying to keep the kiss light. Breaking the kiss, Nathan panted out to him in a gruff voice. "It's better if you didn't... Your... Your scent is getting stronger than I anticipated." Sean smirked, chuckling out shyly. "Mine? You should smell what's rolling off you. Should we stop?" Nathan cupped Sean's face, breathlessly telling him in an honest voice as his eyes changed. "I don't think I can... Just... Stay calm." Sean kissed Nathan again, barely realizing that Nathan was laying him back across the floor. Sean enjoyed the kiss, letting out a small pleasant moan. Nathan surprised him by kicking the couch away from them with his foot as he swung over him on all fours. He'd kicked the couch so hard, that it skidded across the floor and slammed into the wall. Sean jumped at the loud 'BANG' it made against the wall, causing the moaning neighbors to let out startled yelps.

Nathan moved over him, kissing his neck and collarbone affectionately. Sean's heart raced, but he was barely breathing enough from the pleasure Nathan was giving him through his kisses. Did all Betas and Alphas struggle like this? Bill hadn't. Was it because Bill had been exposed to Omegas before? Sean's hands went to Nathan's biceps, starting to feel a hint of fear break through the pleasure. Was this dangerous? He'd been removed from the cafeteria during the start of his Heat around Betas and Alphas USED to being around Omegas. This felt suddenly dangerous. Who would pull Nate off if he lost control? Sean yelped in surprise when Nathan's lips found his nipple. Unlike Alphas and Betas, an Omegas nipples were sensitive and were designed to feed puppies eventually. Nathan's lips attached to his nipple, sucking on it in a way that had Sean arching his back and belting out moans. Nathan dropped over him, his hand grabbing Sean's thigh to pin it against his hip as he grinded against him. Sean's nails dug into Nathan's biceps as longing moans escaped his throat. Panting heavily, Sean coaxed Nathan's lips off his nipple to kiss him. His nipples needed a break, and he didn't know any other way to stop Nathan from licking them raw.

When Nathan broke the kiss to breathe, he buried his face against his neck and Sean grabbed his back. Nathan's scent was filling his nose and overwhelming him with a desire to have his puppies. Clawing his nails down Nathan's back, Sean tried to resist it. It didn't make sense. This hadn't happened with Bill. Was it because the Scent Blocker had suppressed Bill's natural scent triggers as well? Nathan's hand moved off his leg to slip into his open pants and Sean let out a distressed series of sharp yelps. Instantly, Nathan jerked up off him, panting over him on all fours. His eyes changed from their wolfish ones to his normal ones and his canines retracted. Sean covered his crotch, panting just as heavily. After a minute of awkward silence, Nathan asked him in a collected voice. "I'm sorry... Did I hurt you?" Sean shook his head, relaxing when he answered. "No... I just... panicked." Nathan hung his head, his body trembling a little. Afraid to touch him, Sean asked a little worried. "Are you alright?" Nathan nodded without looking at him, before swallowing and replying. "Ya. I just... That was new." Slowly sitting up, Sean tried to lighten up the mood by chuckling out. "Ya. Same. I honestly didn't think that you'd stop."

Nathan huffed lightly, saying gently in return. "I didn't think I would either, but... that sound you made really... It actually scared me." Sean bit his lower lip, trying not to sound excited when he asked. "It did? They told me that it would work... but I thought that was bullshit." Nathan finally met his eyes with his beautiful suspicious ones, causing Sean to giggle a little. Nathan took a deep breath or two to calm himself down the rest of the way, before informing him lightly. "Well... it worked. I really thought that I had hurt you. Snapped me right out." Sean winced, feeling a little bad about it. Bringing his cheek to Nathan's, he asked him sweetly. "Wanna try again? Maybe go a little slower this time?" Nate leaned his cheek against his, answering softly. "Is that what YOU want?" Sean put his forehead to Nathan's, answering with ease. "Yes..." Nathan tilted his head to capture his lips in a tender kiss. Sean calmed down, coaxing Nathan to lay down beside him. Scooting closer to each other, their hands moved along each other as they kissed. This time Nate seemed more in control of himself. He took shorter breaths but moved slower helped to rein in whatever his scent was doing to him.

Their petting gradually shifted to them touching each other's cocks. Resulting in Sean burying his blushing face against Nathan's shoulder. He wasn't ashamed of his cock, but he couldn't help comparing it to Nathan's. It was no secret that Alphas and Betas had bigger cocks. They were built to pleasure Omegas with it. While his really didn't serve that purpose, but it still added to his torment of being an Omega. It was yet another sign that he was... lesser then them. He mimicked how Nate touched him, slowly learning how to turn him on. As hard as Nathan got, his cock remained a long smooth shaft. He didn't feel the 'Knot' that Nate claimed Bill had. Recalling his dildo toy, he kissed Nathan's bare shoulder. Nathan was a true Beta. He hadn't lied about that and that was a comfort. After a bit, Nathan stopped his wrist from playing with him, whispering into his ear. "You should stop. Anymore of that and... I'll want more." Kissing Nate's neck, Sean's heart ached when he asked him. "And if I want more?" Nathan leaned back and lifted Sean's chin to meet his eyes. Staring deep into them, Nathan seriously told him. "Aren't you afraid your pack will kick you out if they find out? If Mark finds out...?"

Sean's eyes teared up a bit, when he told him honestly. "My pack isn't here. And... I want to do what 'I' want to do. I'm tired of having no control... Please? I wanna be free... like you." Nathan brushed away a little tear that ran down Sean's cheek with his thumb, then kissed him lovingly. When the kiss ended, Nathan to him openly. "Ok. Go to the bed. I'll be there in a minute." Nathan got up, then helped Sean up. Sean grabbed his arm, asking nervously. "Where are you going?" Nathan ruffled his hair, chuckling out. "Bathroom." Sean stepped back, shyly mumbling out. "Oh... Sorry." Sean fixed his hair, heading toward the bed. Taking a jagged breath, he debated with himself about doing this. He even thought about how many people would hate him if they found out. All of it faded to the back of his mind. Everyone already hated him. They already thought he was weird. What did he really have to lose? Stripping the rest of the way, he crawled into the bed. It smelled heavily of Nate and was quite comfy. Glancing at the bathroom, he heard the water running for a bit and things moving around in the cabinets. Finally, Nathan came out with a cup of water and a bottle of pills.

Sean tensed, hoping Nathan wasn't planning to do drugs. Nathan tossed out the empty bottle in the bin by his bedside table, then popped a pill into his mouth before drinking the water. Unable to stop himself, Sean snatched the bottle from the bin to read it. Reading the label, he relaxed. They were supplements for birth control. Turning the bottle over, he swallowed uneasily. The bottle said it carried a months' worth of pills. Yet, the bottle was empty now. Putting the bottle back, he asked Nathan without looking at him. "Nate... How often do you use these?" Nathan leaned down, kissing his cheek, before answering truthfully. "This is my first time using them." Sean turned guarded eyes on Nathan, prompting him to explain. "I bought them in the Valley. I've been handing them out to the other City Wolves. I knew they wouldn't buy them for fear of ruining their reputations... So, I did it. I wanted them to be prepared at the Festival. Just in case the Omegas they tried to mate with were... only looking for a good time." Sean leaned back, asking softly. "Is that what you think I'm doing?" Nathan's eyes were gentle and his voice soothing when he answered carefully. "I think you aren't sure what you want. And if you aren't pregnant already... I'm not going to increase your odds."

Sean blushed, mumbling out. "I took a morning after pill today. I should be fine for the next twenty-four hours." Nathan put a finger to his lips to stop him, whispering to him sweetly. "Nothing works one-hundred percent of the time. I'd rather just take my own precautions." Sean laid back as Nathan slid over him beneath the covers. Inhaling sharply as he felt Nathan's cock brush against his, he asked a bit rushed. "How long before it kicks in?" Nathan kissed Sean's shoulder, answering over his skin. "A minute or two. It says I'll feel a tingle... whatever that means." Sean chuckled, relaxing beneath Nathan. They shared kisses and stroked each other's arms. Until Sean broke their kissing to ask. "What did you mean if I'm not pregnant? The morning after pill-" Nathan cut him off to say flatly. "Doesn't work with Alphas." Sean's jaw dropped and Nathan raised an eyebrow, saying surprised. "You didn't know?" Sean shook his head, his grip tightening on Nathan's arms. Nathan stroked his side to calm him, informing him in a clear voice. "An Alpha's cock is designed to enter and stay in. The Knot keeps sperm from leaking out and helps the Alpha enter deep to ensure their seed takes. By the time the Knot deflates... the damage is done. The sperm should have penetrated the egg. If not, then you are lucky."

Sean gestured to Nathan, mumbling out. "But you are built like them. How does it-?" Nathan shook his head, telling him casually. "Betas don't have Knots. When we cum... Chances are that the sperm might not reach the egg in time if we didn't unleash it far enough inside. So, the morning after pill works better against preventing Beta puppies because of that." Sean dropped his head back against the pillow, grimly muttering out. "Fuck..." Nathan nuzzled his throat, comforting him lovingly. "Next time you see Bill. Ask him if he was on Supplements. If he was. You should have nothing to fear." Sean sighed, grumbling out. "And if he wasn't...?" Nathan brushed his lips over his, almost purring out in a deep voice. "I told you... Just say it's mine and I'll protect you." Wrapping his arms around Nathan's neck, he kissed him wholeheartedly. Shortly after, Nathan broke the kiss to tell him that he was ready, and Sean encouraged him to enter him. Mating felt so different when he could see the person mounting him. Their moans and grunts filled the room as the bed rocked against the wall. Sean loved every second of it. It didn't hurt nearly as bad this time around and Nate had much more experience than Bill had. Nathan was able to hold out longer and Sean could feel almost everything he was doing to him.

Sean gasped as he felt Nathan's tip push into something within him, before his orgasm hit. Nathan tensed over him as his own orgasm washed over him, then panted out against his shoulder. "Fuck... So, THAT is the difference." Sean tested something by pushing on Nathan's hips, feeling his cock easily slid out. It was confirmed for him. Nathan was a Beta... and Bill had lied in the tournament. He'd beaten Nathan unfairly. Biting his lip, he asked Nathan curiously. "Nate... You should be Mark's second in command. Why didn't you call Bill out? He fought you illegally. An Alpha can't fight in a Beta bracket... That's unfair." Nathan kissed his cheek, chuckling out breathlessly as sweat dripped from his dark hair. "If it had been anyone else... I would have killed him and exposed him. But... I made you a promise... and I knew that if I hurt him. You'd never forgive me for it." Sean blinked, starting to ask cautiously. "What are you saying? That Bill is someone that I-?" Before Sean could finish, someone banged on the door. Nathan jerked his head up and Sean asked him quickly. "Expecting someone?" Getting to his feet, Nathan told him in a low but serious voice. "Go to the bathroom. Stay in there and don't come out. Go." Sean didn't understand.

Why was Nate afraid? The banging at the door came again, as a deep bellowing voice ordered through the door. "Nathan. Open this door or I'll break it in. NOW." Nathan pulled on his pants, yelling out. "I heard you, Zedekiah! Hang on!" To Be Continued...
