“JT!”

Alec gasped his name loudly, the sound carrying through the woods. He yelped as JT hauled him higher into his arms, his strides sure and strong as they foraged ahead, deeper into the shroud of nature.

All he could think about was how wonderful it felt holding Alec in his arms…and how hard he was, and how much he needed to be buried deep inside of his omega right now. It took forever to find the perfect place. JT wandered aimlessly it felt, but once he spied the rock structure, and the natural stream and pond, he knew he found it: the paradise backdrop to fuck Alec into screaming his name.

“Take off your pants,” JT told him soon as he settled Alec on a flat, smooth rock.

Alec answered his command wordlessly, clearly on edge too. He stripped both his sweatpants and briefs off, bundling them on the spread of rock behind him for safekeeping once they were done here.

JT discarded his jeans as well. He flung them behind Alec, letting them land on top of his clothes. He’d worry about it later.

“Commando?” Alec teased.

“I don’t like anything restraining me these days.” JT leaned in and kissed him, grasping his cock in one hand and pumping the beast. He fisted Alec’s shaft, too, groaning into the kiss, loving the feel of both of them in his hands. Knowing what would make this better, he ripped his mouth from Alec and panted, “Come here.”

Alec scooted closer and he threw his head back when JT pressed their cocks together, pumping them with both his hands. JT gritted his teeth at the friction of their pulsating members, his eyes rolling to the back of his head when their glistening, soaked crowns bumped and brushed.

“Feel that,” JT chewed out the words. “Feel my cock fucking yours.”

“Fuck me, please,” Alec begged, breathing harder, his legs opening wider in anticipation of JT’s fast and hard claiming.

“Not yet.” JT had other plans for Alec first. His tight little eager-as-fuck pucker would have to wait for him. First, he wanted to try out something that had been burning a hole in his pocket. Something he had brought along in a last-minute burst of sexy inspiration while Alec took his bathroom trip.

Dropping his hands from their throbbing, hard shafts, JT moved from Alec to rummage through his pants. He returned with the small box, opening it and retrieving the four-inch surprise nestled inside, new and cleaned. He also picked up the lube he’d pocketed, too.

“Would you fuck me already?” Alec crossed his arms over his still-clothed chest, looking ridiculous when his bottom half was bare to the world. Well, to JT. And he wouldn’t allow anyone else to see his omega like that. This side of Alec was only for him. Alec dropped his hands, frowning at the box, his confusion breaking up his annoyance. “What’s that?”

“Your new favorite toy,” JT said. Cocky as fuck, he held out the urethral sound, letting Alec work it out. When Alec’s eyes widened with his realization, JT chuckled. “Now open up for me.”

Alec held still, his legs opening wider. His hands falling over JT’s shoulders and gripping him hard as he poured lube onto his fingers and swiped over Alec’s cockhead and his slit. He polished his thumb over Alec’s red-faced crown lazily, smirking when his omega panted over him, his back arching and his head angling to the gray sky.

“Enough,” Alec begged. “Please!”

Never one to displease Alec, JT moved his hand off and dropped his head, massaging lube onto the urethral sound and inserting the tip of the four-inch silicone bar into Alec’s slit. He watched in fascination as Alec’s other hole ate up the pleasure stick, sucking it until only the top ring sat over his red-faced glans.

Alec shuddered as JT skimmed his hands over his inner thighs, massaging him in encouragement. “You did good, babe.” He leaned in and kissed Alec, his lips bruising in pressure, sliding and slipping over him until Alec needed air and JT needed to be buried inside of him.

“Ready?” he said, fisting his thirsting beast of a cock.

Alec settled onto his back, his head resting on their discarded pants. He hooked his hands over his thighs and separated them, revealing his puckering asshole to JT.

JT swallowed hard, gulping. His legs quivered, his hands tensing, his jerking grasp on his cock becoming more sloppy at the breathtaking sight spread out before him. Alec’s shaft bobbed with the urethral sound stuffed inside him, and his ass glistened with his lubrication, waiting for JT to take him.

How the hell did he luck out with this wonderful man?

JT sure as fuck felt like he didn’t deserve Alec. He choked down the confession that had threatened to tumble out of his lips. Not here. Not now. Later, maybe. Once they were both sated physically.

Surging forward, JT focused on what he could control, this moment. He bumped his cockhead against Alec’s opening, looping an arm around his lover’s thigh and bringing him closer. He grunted as he speared past that tight bundle of an opening. Once the ring of muscle had been breached, JT fed the rest of his cock to Alec until his balls slapped the omega’s ass.

Alec arched off the rock, gasping and panting. “That…feels—ah…amazing!” He fisted his thick, bouncing shaft, his hips rocking, urging JT to move as his eyes fluttered closed. Moaning, he tossed his head to the side and gyrated upward to meet JT’s thrusts. In and out, he siphoned into Alec, plundering his sweet ass, egged on by the view of Alec’s filled urethra, his flushed face and loud moaning.

JT pumped into Alec harder, feeling the knot fill out at the base of his cock, his body latching on and keeping him close to Alec until he busted his nut. With his shorter range in movement, he twisted his hips and waited for Alec’s imminent release. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to last much past that.

Sure enough, Alec came with a cry, his body seizing with his explosive orgasm, the dribble of his cum trailing out from around the urethral plug. JT groaned, releasing his seed deep inside of Alec, blasting his insides with his warm nut. Alec milked his cock, his insides undulating like crazy.

Seeing Alec thrashing with the throes of his prolonged orgasm, his nipples stiff peaks, and his cock harder than ever, JT reached out to help him. He grunted in satisfaction as he freed Alec of his plug and his cum shot sailed into the air, splattering down onto his stomach, chest, and chin.

JT bowed over him, covering his body, catching his lips in a hot, fast kiss. He latched his mouth over Alec’s pulse and suckled, waiting to leave a mark behind, needing Alec to be his in every way imaginable. His palm, sticky with lube and cum, spread over Alec’s belly, palmed the space where his seed had to be taking root as they lay here, fighting to catch their breath.

Alec had to be tied to him, and what better way than filling him with his babies? Giving him however many children he wanted.

Pressing their foreheads together, JT stared deep into Alec’s eyes and he smiled. “Favorite toy?” he panted.

Alec slung an arm around his neck and he pushed up into a kiss. When they broke apart, he whispered, “You mean you have more toys?”

JT chuckled, not knowing how to open that can of worms.

They stayed like that for a while, and then JT drew himself out of Alec’s warm ass and he helped him upright. Tucking the cum-soaked plug into its box, JT pulled on his pants and tucked their toy away.

Alec slipped into his briefs and sweatpants. He had barely tied the drawstring to his pants when he stilled, snapping his head in the direction of a loud snapping crack. It sounded like bramble being trod upon, and JT tensed as well.

After a heavy silence, he gruffly said, “Woodland creature.”

Alec opened his mouth, but he never had the chance to speak.

This time something snapped out of the woods and the loud deafening pop forced JT to push Alec to the ground. Covering his omega’s body, JT waited for the next gunshot—because he damn well knew that was gunfire—to rip through his back.

When it didn’t, he jerked his head back in the direction of the firing. The world remained still, so JT lifted off of Alec, ordering him to “stay here” while he checked out signs of lingering danger.

JT wanted to catch the fucking bastard who’d shot at them so brazenly. Catch him and feed him his cowardly balls.

But he came up empty, doubling back down the path to Alec, needing to get him some place safer and fast. He froze when his eyes caught something on his swift roundabout. There. Nailed to a tree branch. A white envelope. Not quite at his eye level, indicating the shooter was shorter.

He removed the envelope, careful not to tear it. It remained as evidence of the death threat.

JT flapped it open and opened the printed note.

Blood money pays well, too. Next time, I won’t miss. Give Mr. Wren Forrester my regards.

There was a fucking letterhead, too. This woman loan shark was ballsy as fuck, or crazy. Both, JT figured. There was no way she’d sent an assassin after them. Yet, here he was, caught between ripping the short, printed note in two and keeping it to hand over to police. But then again, he knew how these shadow businesses worked. There was always another sleazy bastard waiting in the dark to take over. Parrot’s debt would be passed around until a payment…or deaths.

Hurrying back to Alec, JT’s breath caught in his lungs at the sight of Alec on the ground, ashen-faced and clutching his leg.

Alec was resting with his back to the rock, his pant leg drawn up over his right leg, his hand cupping his ankle. JT dropped to his side, confronting the wide eyes and the drawn line of Alec’s mouth. His chin trembled, and he sagged into JT’s arms when he caught him in a fierce embrace.

“My ankle,” he said, his voice muffled against JT’s shoulder. “It’s sprained I think.”

“Is that all?” JT gave Alec space, looking him over. Other than the fear staring back at him, and his sprained ankle, Alec wasn’t shot.

“Are you okay?” Alec asked softly.

JT nodded sharply. That had been a warning shot. A cheap scare tactic. But it worked, didn’t it?

Needing to get Alec to safety, JT comforted his omega as best as he could…with a big, fat lie. “We’re safe now,” JT said, growling the words, hating that he even had to convince himself and Alec of that fact.

Scooping Alec up without another word, he carried him out of the woods, watchful and wary now of any danger awaiting them in the afternoon shade. That fear that his two worlds would meet—yeah, well, they did. And now JT was watching the predicted catastrophe unfold.
