"Naru?" Mai had heard a clatter and then the line had come to life, but it was hard to work out what was going on. She could hear a slight squeak, some shuffling, and low groans. Did he hurt himself? His moans grew louder, almost sinful. Her cheeks flushed as she realised he was likely in the middle of relieving himself. But if that's the case, why didn't he ignore the call? The sounds within became more urgent. She'd never heard him make sounds like that before. It made her stomach swirl and her chest flutter.

"Mai..." Naru's voice was barely a distant whimper.

"Yes?" Mai was worried as she didn't get an immediate response.

"Mai!" Her cheeks flushed as she realised he wasn't talking to her. Her heart raced as she realised what he was doing. He was thinking of her. He was thinking of her while he...What exactly is he doing? She couldn't imagine what he'd look like lost in a sea of need. He was usually so stern and serious. "Mai...please...Please, let me..." Mai's cheeks darkened a few shades at his shameless plea.

"N-Naru!" She called a little louder, hoping to get his attention long enough for him to hang up the phone, but he was clearly too far gone in whatever he was doing. All she could hear was more pleading. Mai bit her lip as she eyed the locked door. She had the spare key. She could just open it a little and check on him. Don't be an idiot Mai! He's in heat, and you'd get swept in by his pheromones. But her name was on his lips. He was calling her. He was clearly desperate.

She wondered if part of him realised she could hear. He'd at least tried to answer the phone. At least, it seemed that way. Had he forgotten the call? Or was he secretly hoping to lure her inside? Naru wouldn't do something like that...He already made his feelings clear. She tugged the receiver away from her ear, ready to hang up and leave. She couldn't help pausing as she heard an even more desperate plea. If those are his feelings, then why is he thinking about me right now, while doing that? She bit her lip as she eyed the door.

She might never get another opportunity like this. But will he ever forgive me for opening that door? She was hesitant, but desperate. She knew it was betraying his trust, but would it really be so bad if it led to something better for both of them? But what if it doesn't? What if he's so angry he doesn't want to see me again? Ultimately, she thought she could deal with that. Dancing around the subject was doing them no good, and she would rather lose him completely than have things stay as they were. His continuous rejection was hurtful, especially when he kept doing little things to give her hope.

Mai gritted her teeth as she pulled the spare key from her purse and walked to the door. She trembled as she stood there, preparing to cross a line she knew she shouldn't. She slid the key in and turned it. The lock clicked. She pressed her ear to the surface, but could still only hear pants and whimpers. He hadn't heard the click. I could still change my mind...She shook her head before finally opening the door enough to duck inside. She shut and locked it again instantly, knowing his strong scent would seep out if she wasn't careful.

She leaned against the door, finally raising her eyes to find something so breath-taking she couldn't regret her decision for an instant. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined that Naru could look like this. His pale skin was pink and flushed, especially his cheeks, and a thin coat of sweat covered his toned body. He was everything she'd imagined he would be and more. His legs were strong, thigh muscles taught as he worked himself up and down on the long pink shaft attached to the desk. His abs were firm, but not overly muscular, and his arms were the same. He was elegant and beautiful. He didn't seem as soft as he should, as an omega, but she'd never pictured him as the typical omega. She hadn't originally believed he was an omega at all. She'd thought he was a beta for almost a year until he let it slip.

She barely dared to take a breath as he moaned her name again, one hand gripping the base of his hardened shaft while the other supported his weight on the stained wooden surface. He had his eyes tightly shut as he cried her name and moaned. His tip was dripping, clearly ready for release, but he was cruelly denying himself. She felt hazy as his lemon tart scent washed over her. She wasn't an alpha, so she wouldn't lose control, but she was slowly losing her inhibitions as he called to her.

Something shifted in the room. He hadn't opened his eyes, so he probably wasn't consciously aware yet, but his omega had picked up her honeyed fruit scent. He whimpered as he tilted his head, turning it almost invitingly. Mai let out a breath as she realised his base instincts were calling her, accepting her, however his conscious mind objected to their bonding. She crossed the room slowly, unsure how she should announce her presence. How would I most like to be greeted if our situations were reversed? She couldn't come up with anything as she hesitated by the desk and watched him thrusting back on the buzzing vibrator.

Finally, Naru's hazy blue eyes opened, though they refused to focus. He was aware of a familiar scent. A scent that entered his office every afternoon. Mai's name fell from his lips once more as he slowly focused. His fantasy was more realistic than usual. She'd entered his office and found him rutting on a vibrator on his desk. The shameful thought made his cheeks flush and his cock twitch. She was as timid as he'd imagined as she stood before him, watching like she was lost in a dream.

"Please...Mai...Mai..." His voice grew breathier. In response to his pleas, Mai climbed onto the desk to kneel before him. A strong wave of citrus fruit tickled his needy senses. It smelled so good, so real. It wrapped around him to merge perfectly with his own. He'd never imagined anything so vivid. He was beginning to wonder if he'd fallen asleep part way through, and this was a lucid dream of some sort. He reached out and gripped the short skirt that rested on her pale thighs, tugging it a little. It feels so real...

"Naru," Mai murmured uncertainly as she shuffled a little closer. One hand reached up to stroke his cheek as she leaned in. Naru melted into her as their lips met. He felt a spark between them. A fresh wave of slick pooled down the solid shaft in his passage. It was like his body was being touched for the first time. He whimpered and opened his mouth submissively, surprised as she took the invitation and slowly ravished his willing lips. He tightened his grip on the base of his shaft. He didn't want this fantasy to end yet.

"I wish you could...I really wish you could..." Naru gasped, suddenly feeling desperately sad and needy. As a female beta, Mai lacked the physical ability to relieve him in the way he so desperately desired. Despite knowing this, his omega was reaching out to her, urging her closer. It was like she completed him in a way that went beyond their physical needs. Mai didn't seem to understand his words, not until he desperately ground himself down against the buzzing shaft in his passage and moaned forlornly while looking down at her.

"We can find a way." She kissed his willing lips, finding them so much softer than she'd expected. She often saw him applying balm, so she'd assumed they would be chapped and rough. It seemed the balm was working. Naru shivered. His free arm slipped around her waist and pulled her closer, holding her tight. "For now, let me take care of you," she whispered in his ear, pressing gentle kisses to his lobe, and down his throat to his shoulder. She nibbled the skin on his bonding point before licking lower, surprised as Naru's hand urged her back to his shoulder.

"Please..." His voice was a desperate whimper as he offered her his bonding point. Mai froze. She hadn't expected it to go this far. I love Naru, but right now he's vulnerable...I shouldn't do this to him...Despite knowing that, her beta side was urging her to do it. She pressed her teeth against the skin gently, testing the waters. Naru whimpered in her embrace, pulling her closer to the spot. She closed her teeth just enough to leave an angry red mark, but without breaching the surface. It was a bonding mark. A mark that would show others the omega was attached, but it wouldn't bind them together, and it would fade within a few days.

Mai moved on, sensing Naru's disappointment that she'd stopped short. You'll thank me for it in the morning. She kissed lower, enjoying the feeling of Naru's hand running through her hair as she nibbled and kissed his bare chest. He shuddered at her touch, sighing as she kissed and teased him. His body stiffened as her hand closed around his twitching shaft. The grip on his base quivered as he shuddered with need.

"Keep moving." She slid back a little to watch. Naru's cheeks flushed in surprise as she started kissing lower. He suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable as the small kisses worked their way down. He said her name vulnerably, eyes darting away uncertainly. Mai rested her small hands on his naked hips and leaned down. The tip of her tongue licked the dripping tip with a teasing swirl. He jerked and gasped, blue eyes widening in surprise. He'd never felt anything so wonderful. "Move." Mai was no alpha, so he didn't feel the burning need to obey her firm voice as he would with Lin or Ayako, but her gentle urging was enough that his omega wanted to obey.

Naru leaned back on his free hand and tipped his head back as the vibrating shaft slipped deep into his passage. He rolled his hips up and down, grinding with each drop. At first, Mai watched him, lathering and teasing the dripping tip each time he rocked up. Her own honey eyes started getting hazy, her mouth slowly lowering further over the tip until she was sucking it, moving with his thrusts. Naru whined and whimpered as she grew bolder. She took in more of his cock, letting him do the work as he snapped his hips into her willing mouth.

"Mai...Please, can I?" Naru asked desperately, blue eyes glistening as he looked down at her with a needy expression. He'd been denying himself for so long. His shaft was dripping. The tip was red, and it was starting to ache. He whined as he looked into her honeyed eyes.

"In my mouth." Mai's cheeks flushed red as she suckled his tip and pumped his shaft. Her words alone were almost enough for him to spill. He'd never imagined she would say anything so dirty. He released the base and leaned further back, now using both arms to support his weight as he rocked up. The vibrator was hitting him deep each time, and he was soon seeing white as Mai sucked and pumped his cock.

"Mai!" He spilled into her willing mouth. He watched her honey eyes widen in surprise, still pretty as she struggled to swallow the salty release. A little stream trailed down her chin, and Naru instantly dragged her up so he could lick and kiss it away. Mai was more than willing, turning to mush in his strong arms. Naru gradually slowed, his body going rigid as he gripped her wrist tightly. She felt him panic. Waves of horror, shame, and betrayal rolled off him in waves. His grip was almost painful.

Mai said nothing as she moved to press against his frozen body, still kneeling on the desk, though the vibrating shaft had been removed. She nuzzled his throat, kissing his bonding point and wrapping her free arm around his neck. She tilted her head, allowing her scent to wrap around his stunned form. His hand shook a little, shoulders shuddering as quiet sobs broke free. He felt dirty. Shocked that he'd allowed this to happen.

"Don't think," Mai whispered pleadingly as she felt him slowly pull back.

"Mai, you..." He didn't want to put the betrayal into words. She'd crossed a line, and he knew that she knew. He could sense her racing heart and the fear thrumming in her chest. He knew she could sense his own feelings and wished they weren't so raw. He hated it when other people knew how he felt, especially when he was like this. Mai looked down at his bare chest, though it was more to avoid his eyes than to admire his pecs.

"I know..." She bit her lip, almost drawing blood. She'd known it would be hard, but she never knew it would hurt so much. Naru felt utterly betrayed. His heat was when he was the most vulnerable. He'd trusted her with his safety. She'd taken advantage of his weakened state. She knew he didn't want this. But I want it...I want it so much...He wasn't sure whether the admission was his or his omega's. Does it even matter at this point?

"Why?" He felt weak. He could barely look at her.

"Because I love you and...I'd rather lose you completely than pretend..." She couldn't voice how hard it was. It was no secret how she felt about him. Everyone knew. She knew that he knew that too, though he'd always tried to pretend he didn't. He avoided the subject like the plague, at least he usually did. Lately he'd taken to openly pushing her away, and their last fight was still so raw. He seemed truly miserable as he leaned his forehead against hers.

"And that justifies it?" Tears rolled down his pale cheeks as his eyes closed.

"No...No it doesn't." Mai felt just as miserable as she felt his hand slip from her wrist. He didn't push her away. She didn't move away. She leaned into the pressure on her forehead, feeling her own tears sliding down her cheeks. I want to get it across...How I feel about you...She was desperate for him to understand, letting the full extent of her feelings flood through every pore. She wanted him to know without any doubt.

"Mai...we can't...We're not..." He left it unspoken, hanging between them. A male omega and a female beta were a poor match. A female beta could never satisfy all the needs of a male omega, and the chances of starting up a family were almost as low as two alphas or omegas mating successfully. Female betas and male omegas were both designed to bear children. Naru knew he could impregnate Mai, but it was very slim that it would work. The chances were around six percent. They were one percent for alpha couples. If Gene and I had been born with the right bodies...

"I don't care about that!" He knew she was being a little rash. Just because she didn't care about it now, didn't mean she wouldn't in the future. "I really don't! There are options out there! Adoption, surrogacy, donors. It's really not something we need to be afraid of...Unless the reason you don't want to is..." She couldn't help wondering if he was really that concerned about his own physical completion. Naru shook his head. He didn't care about that side of things. He had enough toys that he could please himself well enough. His only concern was for Mai, and her future happiness. She deserved a normal loving family, with no difficulties or heartache.

"I don't want you to tie yourself down." They were both still young. Feelings could change, though he doubted his feelings for Mai would shift. He felt like she'd seeped right into his soul. His pre-heats were worse when she wasn't around. He felt lonelier when he was in the office, without her voice. He felt colder when she didn't bring him his tea in the morning or afternoon.

"I'm already tied down." Mai reached up to cup his cheeks and wipe his tears. He held his breath as she leaned down and kissed his bonding mark. She'd already claimed a little of him for herself. "I wanted to...I really wanted to...but I won't do it until you agree. Outside your heat." She nibbled the mark a little more, enjoying the shiver that ran through him in response. Naru felt tears welling again, cursing his omega for making him so weak and vulnerable. He pulled her closer, desperately wishing he could hold her so tightly that they'd merge and become one being.

"Mai, you should go." A new wave of heat washed over him. His omega hissed at him. He finally had Mai close, and now he was going to push her away? Unacceptable! Naru ignored the omega and eased himself back. "I don't know what will happen if you stay." His blue eyes were almost hungry as they roved over her short pleated skirt and sleeveless white shirt. They lingered at her collarbone, wondering what it would feel like against his teeth.

"Neither do I...but it won't be bad." Mai slipped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his naked shoulder. She was startled as he suddenly rocked forwards. A strong arm against her back slowly lowered her slender body to the mahogany desk. Her cheeks were dusted pink as she looked up at him. She rested her small hands on his damp shoulders as he leaned down, holding himself above her.

"I'm not joking, Mai...I really won't be able to control myself." He could feel his omega purring as he finally gave in to its demands. Mai made no verbal response. Instead, she reached up and rested a hand on his cheek. He followed as she led him down. Their lips moulded together flawlessly. The hand on his cheek moved as her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. He could barely describe the warm feelings of need and affection that flowed through his veins.

He continued to kiss her pliant lips as one of his hands began working on the buttons of her shirt. She sat up a little to help shrug it off, remaining up long enough for him to free her from her bra. He tossed the white material aside carelessly as he moved his lips lower, nipping her ear before nibbling his way down to her bonding point. He lingered there, lathering the area with his tongue. He could feel her hips grinding against his own in approval. She whimpered as he closed his teeth over the spot, giving it the same attention she'd given him. By the time he was done, she had her own red mark that said she was claimed. He felt his cock twitch as he looked down at the mark. Mine.

"Naru." Mai reached for him once more. He gave in to her wordless plea, kissing her softly before continuing his downward journey. She stroked his hair and kneaded his scalp as he suckled her hardened nubs, tingles running down to her heated core at the sensation. Naru moaned against her, greedily kneading the plump mounds. They were so soft and warm, giving in his palms. Mai gasped as he moved one hand to reach beneath her skirt, stroking her through her underwear. He growled as he found her wet already. "Nah!" He pushed her underwear aside and easily slipped a finger into her heat. She was so silky and warm inside, almost welcoming.

She'd touched herself before, but there was something different about it with someone else. Naru's fingers were larger and reached deeper. He pushed further, feeling around a little and stroking her silken walls. She gasped at the sensation, hips rocking against his hand in a wordless plea for more. Naru's omega was impatient. He desperately wanted to bury himself in her warmth, but Mai wasn't an omega, and she wasn't in heat. He knew enough about beta sex to know that she'd need to be coaxed to readiness. He didn't want to hurt her as she writhed beneath him.

She continued to make whimpering sounds as he added a second finger, teasing her walls until he found a spot she seemed to like. He could feel her pulse around his fingers when he stroked. Too heavy-handed and they didn't seem to do much, but if he kept his touch light, she reacted with moans and whimpers. He pressed his palm against her mound as he worked his fingers, teasing the soft flesh and pressing against her most sensitive area. She shuddered against him as her legs slipped around his hips.

"Naru, please!" It was so similar to his own desperate pleas from earlier. Her nails scratched his shoulders, the pain fuelling his own desire. He may have been an omega, but he was definitely feeling dominant right now. He didn't even bother to remove her underwear. It would take too long. Instead, he pulled it aside roughly and pressed his dripping tip against her readied entrance. She squeezed his shoulders as he edged forward. He was worried about hurting her, but was surprised as she easily took him. Has she...done this before?

"You're not the only one with toys," Mai replied to the confusion and hurt that rolled from him in waves. His cheeks flushed, though he still felt a little disappointed that she'd used a simple toy to take her virginity. "I thought of you." She felt Naru's length twitch within her. He let out a low purr at the news, her assurance easing a little of the sting. Her legs tightened their hold on his hips as he nudged forward. He watched as she threw her head back. A small thud sounded as it hit the hard surface of the desk.

Naru quickly reached behind her, cradling her head against the wood to protect it from further blows. He gazed into her hazy eyes as he moved against her. He could tell she was enjoying the experience, but he seemed to be missing the mark, unable to build her up. He was a little frustrated as he felt his own release fast approaching. Mai hushed him quietly. Her hazel gaze said it was alright, but he still wanted her to feel the same way he did. He shuddered as he came, leaving Mai panting breathlessly. She'd never say she felt frustrated, but he could smell it. She wasn't ready to stop.

"Naru, wha-" He pulled out only to crawl down her body. She flushed as he settled between her thighs. The objection died on her lips as he flicked his tongue and traced her swollen lips. She shuddered as she watched him lapping his own salty seed as it leaked from her abused entrance. She was almost ashamed to find the sight excited her. She grimaced as he almost smirked, though it was hard to do with his tongue poking out. She looked away as he squeezed her rump assuringly.

She felt waves of smug pride rolling from him as he licked and nibbled her sensitive skin. He liked the fact that she was excited. He wasn't bothered that he was drinking his own salty release, not when it made her feel so good. She was soon moaning helplessly, trying not to buck her hips too hard against his face. He'd long since closed his eyes, attuning himself to her emotions. He tried to follow the waves, letting his tongue stroke and tease where she most liked it. Finally, she was coming. He knew when she began losing control of her hips. He gripped tightly, working the same place with his tongue as she cried out his name and writhed against his face.

"Naru..." Mai murmured, giving no objection as he got to his feet and gathered her in his arms. He crossed to the bed, where he lay with her again. Her body was pliant to his desperate need. She willingly opened herself to him again and again. Naru lost count by the time he fell down beside her, too exhausted to move.
