I think about it for a minute, so does Ari.

“Not immediately. It began after we were mated and after I had my memory back,” I answer.

Dr. Ritza hums in thought.

“Well, the scans are normal. No discrepancies.” She turns around to face us, “It’s not your brain. It’s your bond,” she concludes.

“Really? But why?” Ari mumbles, nestling into my neck. “And how?”

“I don’t know. I guess you’re just one of the lucky few.”

She powers off the monitors, done with her research on us it seems.

“There are other couples like us?” I ask.

“Oh, please,” Ritza rolls her eyes. “Haven’t you heard the fables of true mates and whatnot? Some believe it isn’t a matter science. It’s fate.”

My body tingles at the spiritual word.

There’s beautiful irony in the idea of two scientists being hit with such an inexplicable force of nature. A telepathic bond destined to us because our souls were always meant to be together. I’m sure there’s a scientific explanation, but regardless, our strange abilities are here to stay as they are whether we can make sense of them or not.

Relaxing our shoulders a little, we try to accept it for what it is and focus on the major achievement from earlier. With the help of our magical bond, Ari nailed that exam. Back in my office, we pop a bottle of champagne and lock the door, so that Jaimie won’t interrupt. Not that he would. He’s plenty preoccupied with his therapy sessions and Chet sessions.

I’m glad Luna will have a friend soon. And maybe a little brother or sister too.

Wearing nothing but his lab coat with the new pin of achievement he earned for it, Arius bobs his tight lips around my cock, driving me wild. Legs open for him as I sit back and take his gorgeous mouth, I run my fingers through his hair, matching each swallow with a shallow thrust.

Those midnight-blue eyes stare up at me the entire time, glazed over in ecstasy and I can sense through our bond just how far away he is. His heat returned out of nowhere with ferocity, but we decided not to go home for it, staying in my office for old time’s sake.

Humming around my dick, his eyes roll back as he reaches down to ease his throbbing erection. His scent permeates the air between us, telling me he’s close, and I pull myself out quickly so that I don’t accidently knot his mouth. Squeezing the base of my cock with ragged breaths, I watch him jolt through a quick, but powerful orgasm on the floor, thighs trembling as he squirms on his knees.

“F-fuck, Alpha!” he shudders hard before me, lips glossy with saliva and precum while I reach down to stroke his messy hair, massaging him until he recuperates.

Nowhere near fully satisfied, Ari lurches forward, spitting on my dick before sucking it into his hot, wet lips again. A deep and raw sound of pleasure vibrates through my chest, overstimulated by my mate’s ravenous appetite. Ari in heat is something I’ve only ever dreamed about.

My deepest, darkest secret of always wanting to take him like this is coming true. I was upset with him for not coming back to me, but beyond that, I was also holding back from going after him and hunting him down myself. It’s no secret that Omegas go to boarding school to experience their first heats safely. I didn’t deserve him back them, but it was worth the wait to have him now.

It’s almost too much. I almost pull him off me until he lifts up with a pop and climbs onto my lap to take me for a ride on the sofa. Throw pillows discarded on the floor, his tight hole squeezes my shaft up and down in an overwhelming rhythm while I grip onto his waist. Grunting and sucking in air through my teeth, I thrust through the hot slick flowing like lava between us.

“Oh, yes, Knox! I need it!” Ari begs beautifully as I give him every inch. But I know what he really wants. My knot is already beginning to swell.

“I’m so proud of you, baby,” I rasp, choked up by the emotional impact of both his heat, his success, and just the fact that he’s back in my life again.

The stench of our lovemaking in the air heightens my arousal, turning me into a primal beast as I breed my Omega. His face is twisted with pleasure, a deep blush spreading as his hands trail up his body to toy with his pointed nipples. Head tossed back with a moan; he quivers as I grab his dick. With deliberate strokes, I work him to the edge, teasing the underside of the crown with my thumb until he’s panting and jerking uncontrollably above me.

I can’t believe this Omega is mine. All mine. I already won in life the second we met in the sandbox as toddlers. I’ll do anything to keep him by my side forever and ever.

My body takes that statement literally and my knot begins to expand fast. Ready to lock us together for as long as possible. The first inflation has Arius crying out and cumming hard across my fist and my abs. I lose it when he locks eyes with me through the peak of his orgasm.

With a long groan, I drive up into him and plant my seed, knot blooming to its full girth which draws a continuous orgasm out of my mate. It becomes a battle of sensations with his convulsing muscles and my expanding knot, both our bodies chasing the final twitch of pleasure.

Connected like a puzzle, Ari drops onto my chest, breathing with me until our heart beats match one steady pace. It’s poetic almost. A metaphor for the life we share.

You have no idea how much I love you; I say the words passionately in my mind while caressing the dip of his back.

“Oh yes I do, Alpha,” Ari mutters quietly, his breath tickling my chest.

The next wave of his heat strikes hard a moment later, igniting my desire to breed him some more. This time, I’m predicting we’ll get our son, Triton. An Omega who will have the power to be anything he wants to be in the future because success is already written in the stars for him. I can feel it.
