"Oh god baby, you're gonna have to stop." Bucky rasped as you ground yourself down on his lap.

You were still fully clothed, both of you caught up in the moment the second your lips pressed against each other's for the first time.

The pining had gone on too long, building up into something uncontrollably feral and tonight both of your resolves had snapped.

The problem with that kind of gut wrenching tension that burns in your very core like an active volcano, is that within minutes of your covered cunt making contact with his rock hard cock hidden beneath his dark jeans, he was ready to bust.

He inwardly cursed himself for having the restraint of a prepubescent teenager before finding the courage to ask you to stop, to slow down so that he didn't disappoint you after all this time. He should have known that you would never see it that way, you weren't like that.

"You okay?" You asked, with worry laced between your brows as you stopped your movements and pulled back to search his face.

"Yeah I'm fine. This is great, really." He replied with a hitch in his throat, tightening his palms against your hips in fear you would just jump off him and leave, "I just...fuck...you feel too good sweetheart...I don't think I'll last if you keep moving on me like that."

"That's so hot." You breathed as you stared back at him, watching his features change from worry to amusement in mere seconds.

"Hot? Sweetheart I'm about to bust in my jeans without getting my cock anywhere near you and you think that's hot?" He said in amusement, lip twitching at the corner as you nodded with a wide grin.

"Do I think it's hot..." You breathed, dipping back down to suck on his ear love, hearing him groan low in his chest, hips bucking up into you involuntarily, "That you're so attracted to me, that just me sitting on you can make you cum."

He inhaled a deep breath, voice catching in his throat as you began grinding your core against him once more, placing kisses along his stubbled jaw and neck before nibbling at the skin.

"Fuck baby." Bucky groaned, feeling his cock twitch under you, the pressure of your body on his pushing him closer and closer to the edge.

"It's okay Bucky," You moaned into his neck, feeling arousal pool in your panties from his desperation and the feel of his body against yours, "Let me make you feel good."

"God, you are baby. Feels so good." He groaned, tilting his hips up to meet your pelvis once more and making you let out an involuntary pleasurable gasp at the contact.

You pulled back, your own eyes flicking between his deep blue orbs as his mouth hung agape, small groans slipping from between the flesh as you moved your body over his, pushing him closer and closer to the edge.

"You're mine now, you know that right." Bucky whispered up at you, adoration filling his gaze.

"All yours bucky, I've always been yours." You whimpered.

He slipped one hand up your spine until it rested between your shoulders and he pushed your body into his, pressing his lips against yours with a satisfied hum.

His groans got louder in your mouth, hips getting more desperate as your tongue melded to his and you let out your own mewls and whimpers, clutching desperately at his shoulders to make sure this was real, this was finally happening.

Bucky gasped, hands twitching were they splayed and head pulling back to stare in your eyes as his cock juddered, spilling warm ropes of cum into his underwear.

You worked him through it, pressing soft kisses to his cheek, jaw and lips while he came down from his high, before you finally stilled and he pulled you against him, cuddling you against his chest.

You sighed against him with a soft smile, burying your face into the crook of his neck, feeling his chest move up and down as his breathing steadied.

"Fuck." He murmured, pressing his lips to your forehead, "That was..."

"Long overdue." You whispered happily.

"I owe you one now sweetheart." He promised with a smirk, "Fuck I owe you as many orgasms as you can handle."

You giggled against him, feeling his lips curve into a wide smile against your skin before they pursed and pressed a long drawn out kiss there.

His palms rubbed the length of your back, body's fitting together like they always should have.

"We've got all the time in the world." He whispered, pressing another kiss to your scalp, "Always gonna be yours sweetheart, always."

It had been a hell of a party, celebrating your latest victory at Avengerz HQ with your teammates.

Yelena had convinced you to go against her in a drinking contest and you had no idea why you thought agreeing to go up against a russian was a good idea.

Now you were stumbling through the Avengerz compound with Bucky's arm around your waist as he guided you to your room, insisting you were too drunk and he wanted to make sure you got back safely.

His earthy smell was all around you, making you intoxicated from his proximity as well as the alcohol coursing through your veins and you could feel the heat pulsing beneath his palm on your waist while you drunkenly rambled at him.

"I feel bad for you ya know?" You mumbled.

Bucky glanced over at you, brow raised in confusion at your sudden change of topic. How the conversation went from grumpy cat to him, he'd never know.

"You do?" He replied.

"Uh huh." You shrugged simply, as though the statement was completely obvious, missing the way his face dropped, mind running straight to the most obvious thing.

He hated that you felt that way, that you pitied what had happened to him. He didn't want your pity, he didn't want you to feel bad on his behalf.

"Right. Of course." He mumbled, pressing his lips together.

"No Bucky no!" You moaned as you looked up at his sad little pout, "Don't pull a sad face. Some regular non super human people can't get drunk either."

"That's what you're talking about?" He grunted back.

"Uh huh." You nodded as you continued wobbling forward, "Being drunk is great."

"I'm not sure you'll be saying that tomorrow." He said, the corner of his lips tugging up in amusement.

"Pshhh, live in the now Bucky." You grinned animatedly, "Now is great."

"It sure is." He smiled back, looking over your blushed face longer than a friend should.

"God you're so muscly." You said suddenly, pulling him from his thoughts as you stopped before him and grabbed his bicep.

"You know I'm a super soldier right?" He smirked.

"Mmm..." You nodded, running your palm along the length of his arm with your tongue slowly swiping your lower lip.

"Sweetheart?" Bucky laughed and your face snapped back to his, a deeper crimson flush spreading over your cheeks.

"Oh hey, sorry." You mumbled, "I was just looking."

"Just looking, right." He teased before placing his arm back around your waist and pushing you along the corridor, back on track.

"I wanna lick em." You mumbled to yourself.

"Lick what?" Bucky grinned and you looked back up at him with wide eyes.

"Your muscles." You shrugged, "They look lickable, you're very lickable."

"Okay, sure." He smiled.

"If I lick it, is it mine?" You smiled playfully.

"What?" He mused as you reached your door, quickly pushing it open to get you into to your room.

"You never saw that meme?" You asked as he helped you over the threshold and guided you to sit on the edge of your bed.

"What the hell is a meme?" He grimaced, as though the word alone had personally offended him.

You chuckled loudly as he crossed his arms over his chest with a raised brow, "Sometimes I forget you're old."

"You forget." He repeated.

"Yeah cause you're just so you and handsome and sexy and moody." You giggled, "The old is just extra."

"Moody..." He grumbled before his eyes widened, "Wait, did you say sexy?"

"Mmhmmm very sexy." You nodded, dropping back onto your mattress with a dreamy expression on your face, "Sexy and very lickable."

Bucky looked over you with a smile, unable to contain his emotions at the thought of you finding him attractive. If only he had the courage to act on how he felt, to tell you how he felt about you.

"Right, time for bed." Bucky chuckled.

"But Bucky!" You moaned, sitting back up with a pout, "I don't wanna."

"Well you need to sleep." He replied sternly, though the smile remained on his lips.

"You're mean." You sassed like a toddler, folding your arms over your chest.

"Mean, moody, sexy." He shrugged, crossing the room to your chest of drawers to find you something to change into.

"You forgot annoying." You grunted at him.

"I'll add it to the list." He replied, as he dug through the drawer, fitting into your space like he belonged in it.

"Can I have your shirt?" You grinned suddenly.

"My shirt?" He responded, looking back over his shoulder at you with furrowed brows.

"Yeah I wanna sleep in it." You shrugged like it was the obvious answer.

"Why?" He grumbled.

"Cause it'll smell like you and I can pretend you're in bed with me, holding me." You smiled sweetly.

"Sweetheart..." Bucky breathed, ignoring the way his heart skipped a beat at your statement as he crossed back in front of you, "You're drunk."

"I know that." You pouted, "Doesn't mean I don't want your shirt."

"But you're saying a lot of things you might regret in the morning." He exhaled, running his palm through his hair.

"I've never regretted being in love with you." You said with furrowed brows as Bucky's body froze, "I just wish I could be enough for you too."

"You...you're in love..." He stuttered while you remained completely oblivious to the bombshell you'd just dropped.

"T-shirt!" You whined, extending your arms and flexing your hands to grab at him, "Gimme."

"Fine, fine." He conceded while his heart hammered and his mind raced.

He slipped the T-shirt over his head, passing it over to you and trying to hide his grin when you snatched it from him with a happy squeal.

You raised the fabric to your nose, inhaling deeply with a smile and a sigh, "God you smell so good, like home and sin."

You stumbled onto your feet, attempting to stand and Bucky threw his hand out, catching your elbow to steady you. You suddenly began to slip your own shirt over your body and he spun around so fast he created his own gust of wind.

"I'll just...face...over..yeah..." He swallowed thickly, already cataloguing the small patch of exposed skin he'd seen.

"Wait!" You yelled, stilling your hands.

"What?" Bucky rasped as he turned back to you worriedly, "Are you okay?"

You crossed the small space between you with a mischievous grin and quickly placed your tongue on his exposed chest, trailing it up between the valley of his pecks with a giggle.

"I licked you, so you're mine now." You grinned.

Bucky's mouth was agape, shock painting his features, until it turned into a shy smile, his cheeks and ears tinting red.

"Okay sweetheart." He smiled shyly, before turning back around to let you change.

You slid from your evenings clothes quickly, teetering on your feet like a newborn deer before slipping Bucky's shirt over your head, smiling when it dropped over your ass and you were surrounded in his scent.

You climbed into bed and settled under the duvet with a happy sigh while Bucky turned, assessing you with a nod before heading for the door.

"Bucky?" You called out to him shyly.

"Yeah?" He replied, glancing back at you over his shoulder.

"Will you come see me?" You mumbled, "In the morning? I'll wanna see you but sober me might be too shy to ask."

"Of course." He sighed, "I'll even bring coffee."

"You're the best Bucky." You smiled happily, before sinking further into the mattress, ready for sleep to take you.

"Goodnight sweetheart." Bucky sighed before leaving the room with a smile pulling at his lips.

"Hey you." Bucky grinned as he padded into your room the next morning, extending the to-go cup in his hand, "Coffee."

"Oh god...thank you." You groaned, sitting up on the bed and rubbing your forehead, "My head hurts."

"But being drunk is so fun." Bucky mocked with a smile as he dropped onto the bed next to you, "That's what you said."

"Asshole." You pouted, taking the cup from him and taking a large gulp before raising your brow at him suspiciously, "And why am I in your shirt?"

"You asked for it." Bucky chuckled, "Said you wanted to feel like I was wrapped around you."

"Oh god." You gasped as your face turned a deep marron and your ears went hot, "I'm so sorry."

"Don't be." He laughed before reminding himself that it was now or never, "And just so you know, you are good enough."

"Huh?" You breathed with furrowed brows, feeling heated from the way bucky was looking at you.

"For me, I mean." He confirmed softly, "You're more than good enough, I'm not good enough for you."

"I..you...what..." You stuttered, as you tried to follow what he was getting at.

"You told me you were in love with me." He announced and you felt your soul leave your body, eyes widening and mouth snapping shut in horror.

"I did?" You squeaked.

"You licked me." He grinned.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry." You gasped, burying your face in your hands, "I'm so embarrassed."

"Don't be." He laughed again before his face softened, "Hey, look at me."

He pulled your hands away from your face, gazing at you with such affection that you thought your heart may combust. He reached out and gently tucked your hair behind your ear, before settling his palm along your jaw.

"You licked me, so I'm yours now, right?" He questioned, eyes flicking between your own and your lips.

"I...please...yes..." You breathed.

"Well then." He smiled and he began to close the gap between you, lips closing in on your own while your breath hitched and your heart skipped a beat.

His lips brushed against yours, pressing the softest kiss against them before he placed another on your cheek, when suddenly his tongue darted out, licking a stripe up the side of your face while you squealed and giggled.

"Bucky!" You giggled manically.

"What?" He chuckled, "Just returning the favour, now you're mine."

You smiled widely, eyes shimmering with glee despite the hangover trying to pierce through your skull.

"Now I'm yours." You grinned.

You'd been at your new job for a couple of weeks now and had settled in relatively easily, despite the issues the job brought with it.

You walked through the pristine white halls, heels clicking loudly and the distinct smell of cleaning supplies filled your nose, so strong it blocked out anything else.

The term insane asylum had been boycotted years ago, but that's what it was, home to some of the most criminally insane, long abandoned within these walls. The state says it aims to 'help', yet most of these patients are here for the long haul, lucky if they ever get to see freedom again, although its hard to find sympathy when some of them are guilty of the most obscene crimes.

You entered the rec room where a handful of patients were spread out joining in with activites. The centre only allowed a maximum of 10 patients in a communal space at any one time to reduce "accidents", some patients were never allowed to be in the room together at all.

As always there were 4 guards stationed around the room just in case of incident whilst you and two other colleagues interacted with the patients if they needed you.

You were loitering around, checking on the three patients engaged in a large puzzle together to make sure they were okay when Steve walked in with James Barnes.

James immediately looked your way and you averted your gaze. You didn't know why but he always made you feel nervous. You didn't know whether it was the way he always stared at you or the fact he wouldn't speak a single word to anyone except steve, even then it was usually mutterings or whispers. Or maybe it was the fact that he had been reprimanded for killing over a hundred people, apparently blacking out with each kill.

Steve was by far your favourite colleague, always offering you a hand or advice and generally being a gentleman, not to mention how good looking he was. You wondered why James would speak to him, how long it took Steve to build that rapport with him, despite James unnerving you you still wanted to be able to help him.

He was doing it again, staring at you relentlessly with his brows furrowed and his jaw clenched. When you looked his way and caught his gaze, offering him a small smile, he looked disturbed, turning to Steve and beginning to mutter as Steve placed a calming hand on his shoulder to placate him.

Despite the stares and an elderly patient tossing the puzzle in frustration, it was a fairly calm day and you went home without having to fill in any incident reports, which was always a plus.

A few days later you were supervising lunch time for some patients. James was amongst them, sat on his own at a table with his head down as he ate his food.

Lunchtimes were the most peaceful part of the day and so it was only you and one other colleague, though you had panic buttons available should you need assistance. It had never worried you, as there were only 4 or 5 patients in and out of the lunch hall at once in a steady flow and there hadn't been an incident during this period in over 20 years (or so the director told you when you got the job). So far you had no reason to doubt him.

The next patient filters in as one leaves, Brock Rumlow. You knew this one well, he was an outrageous flirt though you never feared he would ever act on anything, it was his way of coping with his situation you figured.

He collected his lunch on the plastic plates and made his way towards the seating, surprising you by making his way to James' table and sitting across from him. You were immediately on alert, knowing James didn't like being disturbed.

Within seconds it all went to shit. James swiped his own food and Brocks off the table before standing and glaring at him while Brock laughed maniacly.

James lost it, flipping the table over and beginning a rampage through the room, tossing tables and chairs, plates and cups went flying. The other three patients were screaming and Brock was still laughing away.

You had already pressed the panic button on the wall and two guards rushed into the room, making their way straight for James, making him look like a deer caught in headlights.

"Wait!" You yelled suddenly, making the guards and James all stop at once.

"Get the other patients out, I'll deal with James." You said calmly as James' eyes locked with yours, turning dark.

"You sure?" John, one of the guards said in concern, but you nodded quickly, waving your hands at them and watching as they quickly ushered the others out of the room to safety.

James' chest was rising and falling rapidly, nostrils flaring as he watched you.

You placed your hands in front of your chest placatingly before lowering your voice.

"It's okay James, you're okay." You began.

His jaw ticked and you swallowed harshly, trying to ignore the way your heart was beating faster than a hummingbird.

"He's gone james," You continued, "Did he upset you?"

You dared to take a slow step forward, immediately jumping back when James growled audibly, sending a shiver down your spine.

"Okay okay." You said quickly, trying to placate him, "I'll stay back here okay? I just want to make sure you're okay, that's all."

He tilted his head inquisitvely and all of a sudden he marched towards you at speed. You barely had time to react before he had you backed up into the wall, looming over you with a dark expression in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." You whispered as you placed your hands flat against the wall by your sides, "I didn't mean to upset you."

James brought both of his hands up and slammed them onto the wall besides your head, caging you under his enormous body and you let out a loud squeak as you attempted to cower away from him, angling your head to the side.

He brought his face down closer to yours, pressing his nose into the crook of your neck and inhaling with a satisfied grunt.

He kept his face buried there as you quivered in fear and pushed his core towards you, alerting you to his obvious arousal as it pushed into your abdomen.

A tear slipped free as the fear overcame you, you realised what a huge mistake you'd made thinking you could get through to him.

"Buck." Came Steve's stern voice suddenly and Bucky's head finally separated from your neck, tilting to the side.

"Step away Bucky, you don't wanna do this." Steve ordered.

Bucky's nostrils flared once more and he let out a rumble from his chest.

"Come on Buck," Steve said, placing a hand on James' shoulder and you watched as his body relaxed in front of you, "It's me, it's Steve, step away buddy."

You let out a shaky breath as James' body heat finally released you and he turned to Steve with his head lowered in submission.

"Come on Buck, let's get you to your room." Steve said softly.

James didn't reply, only stepping forward and beginning to follow Steve away from you, head still lowered like a kicked puppy.

As they reached the door Steve turned to you, offering you a reassuring smile.

"Go wait for me in the break room, I'll be there soon." He offered and you simply nodded in return, taking deep breaths as you tried to settle your heart rate.

Your hands were still trembling around your coffee cup when Steve finally entered the break room and sat down across from you with a sigh, rubbing his palms over his face.

"Is he okay?" You asked quietly.

Steve raised a curious brow at you before settling his hands on the table, curling one around the other.

"Are YOU okay?" He countered.

"Yeah, I mean.. I.. I think so.. Sorry." You muttered.

"You don't need to be sorry." Steve smiled reassuringly, "Bucky can be a lot, I'm sorry he did that."

"It's okay, he was worked up." You said shyly, though part of you wondered if that was all because of Brock or something else.

"I feel like I owe you an explanation." Steve said nervously and you gazed back at him curiously.

"What do you mean?" You asked.

"I'm sure you've noticed that Buck will talk to me," He began as you nodded, "We know each other, knew each other. we grew up together."

"Oh..wow.." You stuttered in surprise.

"Yeah," Steve sighed, "He wasn't always like this. He was an average kid 'til we joined the army. After we served, Bucky just...fuck..he didn't cope well, he was drinking, doing drugs and then he went off the rails. A few years later the police found out he'd been..."

Steve swallowed deeply like he couldn't finish the sentence.

"It's okay." You whispered, reaching across the table to put your hand on his and you saw his shoulders relax.

"I couldn't believe it," He muttered, "I did my best to be there for him through the trial and all the psych evals and such. Is it wrong that I'm glad he wasn't in his right mind when he did it?"

You raised a brow as you pondered the question. You supposed knowing your best friend did these things on purpose was a lot worse than this alternative, so you shook your head.

Steve let out a loud sigh.

"When they sentenced him to serve his time here.. I just couldn't abandon him.." Steve said as a tear slipped down his cheek, "I had to help, so I applied immediately and I've been here the whole time, watching over him."

"You're a good friend Steve." You whispered with a soft smile, as you ran your thumb over his knuckles.

"Thanks." Steve sighed

You pulled your hand back and placed it in your lap when the contact started to tingle in your core.

"Why do you call him Bucky?" You asked.

"Oh," Steve smiled, "He prefers that name. It's his nickname, short for buchanan, his middle name."

"Ahhh makes sense." You smiled.

You both just looked at one another for a moment before Steve began to rub the back of his neck shyly.

"So listen," He began, "I know the timing of this sucks, but I was wondering...well I wanted to know...if maybe...you wanna get dinner with me? Sometime?"

Your smile widened as a blush spread to your cheeks.

"Yeah. I'd like that." You grinned back.

"It's a date." Steve smiled and you felt a flutter in your heart.

The next day work returned to normal, despite the fact that you had a constant blush to your cheeks every time you were in Steve's proximity. He would constantly send you flirty winks or make flirty comments, clearly feeling a little bolder now he knew you were interested, but you didn't mind one bit.

You had a skip in your step that wasn't present before, as heat bloomed under your skin from Steve's attention. A permanent smile had made its way to your face.

You made your way to the rec room, finding it almost empty besides Bucky and two of the others. Bucky was in the corner looking through the bookshelf and with the added confidence in you that day you decided to approach him, you didn't want him to think you were afraid of him after yesterday. Besides there were four guards and two other staff members, so that chance of something happening in that room was unlikely.

"Hey James." You smiled softly as you approached.

His eyes flickered to you, lips pressed in a flat line and he quickly diverted his attention back to the book shelf.

"You looking for anything specific?" You asked, looking to where his fingers were drifting over the spines.

You heard him grunt before stopping and pulling out a copy of The Hobbit. It was weathered with wrinkled pages but then, most books on the shelf were.

"Ahh good choice," you smiled, clasping your hands together behind your back, "That's my favourite."

Bucky's eyes flickered back to yours, seeming to soften and the corner of his lip twitched.

"Me too." He mumbled and you had to fight hard not to jump up and down and scream with joy that he'd spoken to you.

"Well you have good taste." You said instead, keeping your voice soft and steady.

"Mmm." He hummed simply as he crossed the room towards the arm chairs in the corner, slumping down into one.

He looked up at you expectantly before looking at the chair next to him and you swallowed down the pride as you strutted over to sit next to him, smiling when your colleagues began to notice and raise impressed brows in your direction.

"So what's your favourite part?" You asked as you sat.

Bucky flipped the book over in his palms, looking down with furrowed brows, like he was fighting an internal battle as he thought.

"Smaug." He said with a nod.

One word, simple yet you'd learnt more about him in the last five minutes than any one except Steve had in his entire incarceration.

"Hey, you okay?" Came Steve's voice as he joined you in the room, looking concerned when he saw you sat next to Bucky.

"Yeah we're okay." You smiled with a gleam in your eyes. "James and I were just discussing the hobbit."

Steve raised a brow as a smile spread across his lips, looking over at his old friend with pride.

"Bucky." Bucky murmured lowly. "Call me Bucky."

You breath caught in your throat at the offer and you looked up at Steve with a smile, seeing him smile back at you happily.

"Okay. I will. Bucky." You said back.

Bucky hummed once more with a nod before opening the book and settling in to the story.

You were on cloud nine. First Steve asked you on a date, now Bucky was talking to you. The bad parts of the previous day were now completely forgotten.

The next few days were amazing. Work was great. Bucky continued to make progress with you, offering more than just one word answers though still keeping his answers short and clipped. He continued to stare regularly but it wasn't unnerving you as much as it did before.

You and Steve went on your date and it was a dream. He was such a gentleman, picking you up with flowers, holding doors. His hand would stay respectfully on the base of your spine.

At the end of the night you even offered for him to go inside for a coffee, but he politely declined saying he shouldn't but that he'd love to go out again and he gave you a soft kiss on the cheek.

You really did feel like you were walking on cloud nine, everything was perfect.

Everything had been normal at work one day during the next week, there were no incidents, the evening shift was smooth and quiet.

You had assisted making sure everyone got to their rooms to settle for bed and sat yourself in the floors security room with the night guard, Lee, watching the monitors while you had a coffee to keep you going.

There were a couple other guards stationed around the large building and a few colleagues, but in general the night shift was quiet and boring. You knew Steve was working so he was around somewhere. You were sure you'd find him and pass the time talking with him at some point.

Suddenly everything went dark and the guard muttered a low "shit" before fumbling on his belt for a torch while you sat in shock, not knowing what to do.

"What's going on?" You said nervously.

Lee stood and flashed the light at the control panel.

"Powers gone. Gonna have to do a manual reset from the breaker room." He grunted.

"What about the patient doors?" You asked, standing and looking over the control panel with him, though you had no idea what you were looking at.

"Shit." He grunted again. "If the powers out the locks won't engage but they were all asleep, so I wouldn't panic."

Don't panic? The doors to all the patients guilty of severe crimes and with serious mental illnesses weren't locked in, while you had limited staff and guards on duty. But yeah, don't panic.

"You're gonna need to go check the rooms while I reset the breaker." He suggested and your eyes widened in fear.

"Me?" You whispered while your hands shook.

"Yes. You. You don't know how to reset the breaker and I've got no way of calling on anyone else so I need you to check." He began with an annoyed huff, "Just this floor, in the event of a power cut the doors to the stairs manually lock so no one can leave the floor they are on. We're bloody lucky we're on the ground floor, I can get to the breaker through the service tunnels."

"Okay I can do it." You agreed feebly.

"Here," Lee said passing you another torch from a nearby cabinet, "Take this and these cuffs, just in case."

"Cuffs?" You whispered shakily.

"You'll be fine." He continued, "They are sleeping."

You nodded and walked off towards the corridor where the patients from this floor slept, light on your feet as you flicked the light around the hallways, making the place look even more eery than it already did.

When you reached the correct corridor, the row of doors seemed to look over you. Each one presented a danger that you couldn't even comprehend. Sure you were with these people on a daily basis, but now, at night with no support, they presented a real and present threat.

You walked to the first door, carefully shining your flashlight through the small observation window, breathing a sigh of relief when you saw the patient asleep in bed.

The same happened on doors two and three and you finally began to feel more confident as you continued down the hall.

You checked on all five out of six patients before cautiously moving along to Bucky's door, flashing the light through his window.

You swallowed harshly as you observed the bed, noting that he wasn't there and you moved the beam of light slowly around the room until you landed on his figure, stood staring out of his barred window with his back to you.

As the beam of light reached him, his head tilted towards the door and you quickly flicked the switch off and backed away.

You took a deep breath, steadying yourself. This was Bucky, he was coming around to you, he liked you, he wasn't a threat, this would be okay. At least you hoped it would be.

You flashed the light back through the window, jumping back and hitting the far wall as his face appeared in the window.

Your heart was hammering, hands shaking around the torch while he stared out at you.

The door slid open slowly and you had to make a decision. Run or stay put and hope it was still Bucky, that you could placate him.

As the door hit its hilt, you gasped loudly, accidentally dropping the torch from your sweaty hands. Bucky's body filled the door frame easily, the shadows casting over him dangerously.

You didn't move, he didn't move. It felt like time stood still while you decided which move to make.

You inhaled deeply, steeling your shoulders in preparation and placing your hand tightly around the cuffs.

"Bucky..." You stuttered.

All of a sudden he was charging towards you, clamping his hand over your mouth and grabbing the cuffs with the other, easily pulling them from your grasp as you attempted to push at his chest, eyes widening in fear.

The next thing you knew he was pulling you away from the wall and easily dragging you back into his room where he tossed you onto his bed.

You attempted to sit up but were pushed back down immediately by a strong palm.

Bucky grabbed the cuffs, quickly opening one end and attaching it to your wrist before attaching the other end to the cuff loop that the patients had near their beds. Supposed to be for them if needed, now being used to hold you hostage.

You began to scratch at the cuff manically with your free hand as Bucky stepped back from the bed, flaring his nostrils.

"Bucky. Let me go." You whimpered, but he didn't move. He just stood by the side of the bed, breathing heavily as he looked at you.

"Bucky. Please." You pleaded in desperation.

"No." He grunted before he lowered himself to his knees at the side of the single bed.

He looked over your body, licking at his lips with a pant before he reached out and placed his palm over your breast.

You gripped his wrist and attempted to pull his hand away but he slapped you away with his free hand.

"No." He grunted in annoyance.

He began massaging your breast, squeezing the flesh with a tense jaw before moving onto the second and giving it the same treatment.

You could only lay silently in horror as he continued to grope you, wondering how the hell you were going to get out of this.

Bucky pulled both his hands up to your top, gripping it firmly before ripping it straight down the middle. It splayed out either side of you revealing your lacy bra and you heard him growl while tears began slipping from your eyes.

A loud bang on the door had Bucky jumping up and the door swung open.

Steve stepped through, looking around with his torch until he saw you laid on the bed, cuffed to the wall with tear stains on your cheeks.

The door slammed shut behind him and he moved his gaze to Bucky who was standing hanging his head.

"Bucky."Steve said softly. "What are you doing?"

Bucky began to mutter incoherently as Steve carefully crossed the space, leaning over you and brushing your hair from your face.

"Are you okay?" He asked, glancing down at your uncovered breasts and back up at your face.

"I'm okay." You whimpered softly. "He took the key."

"Okay. You're gonna be okay." Steve assured you before returning to Bucky.

He set the torch on the window sill, allowing it to gently bask the room in a little light and approached Bucky, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Buck. Explain yourself." Steve said more sternly as you watched on from where you lay.

"I want her." Bucky whispered, but the admission seemed to echo in the space.

"Buck. You can't take her buddy. You know this." Steve scolded.

"Please stevie." Bucky whimpered, placing his hands in front of his body and rubbing them together nervously.

"Buck." Steve sighed.

Bucky finally raised his head, making eye contact with Steve.

"Please stevie. Let me have her. I need her." He began pleading, "I love her Stevie."

Steve glanced over at you with a strange look on his face before looking back at his friend.

"Buck. You can't do this." Steve scolded once more. "I won't let you hurt her."

Your heart rate was sky rocketing as you glanced between the two men, praying that Steve could talk sense into him.

"I won't hurt her Stevie." Bucky pleaded. "I promise I won't. I just wanna love on her. Please."

"Fuck Bucky." Steve sighed shaking his head. "What am I gonna do with you?"

"Please." Bucky whined once more and Steve looked at you, exhaling heavily through his nose.

"Steve." You whimpered as you tugged on the cuff.

Steve looked back at Bucky with a soft adoration. He patted his shoulder and released him, stepping back.

"Okay Bucky." He relented, "But don't hurt her okay?"

Bucky nodded as you began to panic. Steve stepped to the corner of the room sitting down in Bucky's armchair as Bucky moved back towards you.

"Steve." You yelled as more tears trickled over your skin, "Please. You can't let him."

"I'm sorry sweetheart. He needs this." Steve sighed.

"What the fuck Steve." You spat, glancing at Bucky with a shiver as he began taking off his clothes.

"I told you. We have history." Steve said calmly.

"I can't...I don't...you can't do this..." You cried.

"I'll do whatever he needs." Steve replied. "I always have. When he'd come to me after another episode, if he needed help getting rid of another body, I've always done what I needed to do to look after him and I always will. He's my best friend."

You began to sob harshly as the reality of your situation sank in.

Bucky stepped in front of you and you had to hold back a gasp at the size of his cock as it bobbed prone in front of you.

You tilted your head to the side and looked away as Bucky stepped around you and began to tug down your trousers and panties in one swoop.

"Please don't do this." You whimpered once more, though you knew it was useless.

"Spread her legs Buck. Let me see." Steve said suddenly and you looked back to glare at him, only to find him with his trousers down and his own cock in hand as he watched.

"Sure Stevie." Bucky said softly, grabbing your thighs in his strong palms and pushing them apart with a low groan.

"Fuck." Steve moaned as he stroked himself.

"Can I fuck her now Stevie?" Bucky whispered, staring between your legs and poking his tongue out to wet his lips. "Please?"

"Go for it Buck." Steve agreed, "Make it count."

He quickly shifted over the top of you, staring down at you with his mouth agape as you shook. You knew there was no point in fighting him, he was strong, too strong and dangerous. 

Bucky nudged his cock at your entrance with a loud groan as the head slipped between your lips.

You did your best to suppress the spark it sent to your groin, refusing to admit your body found the action pleasurable, but it didn't last long as your body began to dampen the more he pushed at your clit. 

Bucky pushed the head past your entrance, letting out an animalistic growl as he did, bracing himself on his arms at either side of your head.

"She's getting wet Stevie." He moaned loudly while you whimpered.

"Course she is Buck, you're a good boy, you'll fuck her good.' Steve grunted from the other side of the room.

"I'm a good boy." Bucky repeated in a whisper before thrusting harshly through your walls and burying himself to the hilt, causing you to let out a loud gasp at the obscene stretch. 

He dropped his weight on top of you, burying his face in your neck as he began to fuck his cock into you with no remorse, hitting your cervix with each thrust. 

You couldn't hold the moans in any longer as you felt the signs of an orgasm building at speed. His cock dragged along your special spot with each pull of his hips before hitting deep inside your cunt with each push.

"That's it Buck," Steve rasped, "She likes it, keep goin'."

"Feels so good Stevie." Bucky groaned into your skin, hips slamming against your pelvis.

Your free hand fisted at the bed sheets harshly, bunching them up as you got closer and closer to the edge.

"Gonna cum Stevie," Bucky whined, "Need to cum."

"No." Steve grunted, "Ladies first Buck, you know that."

Bucky responded to this with a low groan before assaulting your cunt with even faster, harder thrusts, plummeting you towards bliss.

You fell over the edge, letting out a loud moan as your pussy clenched around Bucky's cock, gripping him tightly.

"Fuck, go on Buck," Steve moaned, "Fill 'er up."

Bucky groaned against your neck, pushing his cock as deep as it could go. You felt his release, warm and wet flooding your pussy as Bucky stilled and your mind began to clear in the post orgasmic haze.

"Fuck, fuck." Steve muttered from the chair and you looked up just in time to see him spilling over his hand.

Bucky slipped out of you and carefully pulled your pants back up while you breathed heavily, trying to recover.

Steve tucked himself away and stepped towards you cautiously.

"Key Buck." He ordered, holding his palm out as Bucky collected the cuff key and passed it to him.

Steve hovered over you, holding the key by the cuff lock.

"Now I think this goes without saying," He said sternly, 'But this stays in this room, you tell no one."

You nodded furiously, pressing your lips together.

"I mean it sweetheart." Steve said sternly, "I won't hesitate to protect Bucky if I need too, you say nothing."

"Okay." You whispered.

He sighed before slipping the key in the lock and freeing you finally. You gripped your wrist as you sat up, rubbing it gently.

"Here." Bucky said, head now back to hanging low as he held out his t shirt for you.

You quickly slipped it on, removing your damaged shirt and then followed Steve out of the room, clutching your arms around yourself protectively as Steve shut the door behind him.

Just then, as though you were living in some kind of written fiction, the power came back on, mocking you.

Steve looked up at the lights with a smirk.

"Well then sweetheart," He said as you both began walking towards the security office, "What do you wanna do for our date this week?"

The End

After a lot of deliberation, you'd decided to brave a trip to the doctor's office, deciding you were ready to take a big step in your personal life.

Doctor Kemp had taken over your local doctors clinic a few years ago and you felt content under his care.

He was always friendly with you, making you feel at ease with your issues and you had confided in him about almost everything. You knew that today's conversation would only be okay because of him, despite how nervous you were.

You entered the clinic with a hammering heart and shaky palms, locating a seat as far away from anyone else as possible, after a quick check in with the receptionist. You were anxious as other patients stepped in and out of the double doors for their own appointments, biting at your nails and leg bouncing as you waited. 

When your name was finally called, you scampered through the doors and along the pristine white halls to Doctor Kemp's office, knocking quickly before entering, after hearing the sound of his soft voice calling you inside.

"Good morning." He smiled at you from his seat by his computer, "Take a seat."

You smiled back shyly, flopping down in your seat so quickly that you winced on impact and immediately flushed red in embarassment. 

Doctor Kemp looked back at you with a glint of amusement in his eyes, lips turned up into that charming smile you'd come to know all too well.

"Hi Doctor Kemp." You breathed shakily as you tried to compose yourself, "Thank you for seeing me."

You placed your palms in your lap, spine ridged and stiff while Steve relaxed back in his seat.

"What can I do for you today?" He asked, steepling his hands in front of his chest, with his elbows on his knees as he appraised you.

"I uhh...well..." You uttered, scratching nervously at your forehead, "It's kind of embarrassing..."

"It's okay, you know you can tell me." He smiled softly before letting out a light chuckle, "I don't bite."

"Okay well..." You sighed, glancing around the sterile room to avoid making eye contact for too long, "I uhh....I want to get some kind of birth control."

"Oh is that right?" Steve replied with a harsh underbite to his tone.

"Yeah," You continued, oblivious to his change in demeanor, "I just don't know what kind of one to get or whatever, I was wondering if you could help."

"Forgive me sweetie, but last time we spoke you informed me you were still a virgin." He said sternly, "Is that no longer the case?"

"Oh, uhh yeah I am." You said pressing your lips together, "I'm just...preparing I guess....trying to be safe."

"You got yourself a boyfriend now?" He grumbled with a raised brow, flattening his palms on his thighs to stop them clenching into fists.

"No, yeah." You mumbled, "Uhh I dunno. Kind of. It's new."

"And things have been heating up?" Steve pressed, "Has he touched you?"

His fingers twitched against his thigh and his jaw ticked in irritation, as he watched your face blush at the question.

"Nn..no. Not exactly." You mumbled, rubbing your hands together in your lap, "But he uhhh..he asked me to touch him..so I just want to be prepared..."

Steve's shoulders relaxed and you watched as he visibly exhaled before his face softened. He reached across the space, taking your hand in his and gently running his thumb along your knuckles. 

Your friends told you their doctors were cold and uncaring, Steve wasn't like that, he was always soft with you and always made sure to touch you in such gentle caring ways, you knew you were safe with him.

"You sure you're ready sweetie?" He asked softly, watching you nibble your lower lip.

"Yeah I think so." You sighed, "I mean I'm 23 now and I've waited a long time."

"I know." He smiled, "You're such a sweet girl, so innocent."

"Yeah well...maybe I'm ready for more ya know?" You replied, unsure whether you were trying to convince Doctor Kemp or yourself, but you were fed up of the things your friends said about you, of missing out on something your friends all talked about like it was a gateway drug.

"Okay well as your doctor I guess I'll have to trust what you're saying for the mental side of being ready," Steve hummed, still holding your palm in his, "But there's still the physical."

"Physical?" You gulped, looking up at Steve's blue eyes with your doe ones, as confusion laced your brow.

"Yeah, your vagina might not be ready."  Steve replied. 

"Oh." You gasped in shock, "Really? But...I thought...the girls said.."

"You think your friends know more than me? A qualified practitioner?" Steve scoffed, dropping your hand in your lap with irritation and you felt an embarrassed flush creep up your neck.

"No. Of course not. I just..." You mumbled apologetically.

"We'll need to do an examination." He interrupted, "Make sure everything is okay."

"Right..okay...sure...yeah...." You breathed, rubbing your now sweaty palms along your trousers.

"Good girl." Steve smiled, suddenly soft again, "You wanna jump up behind the curtain, take your jeans and panties off and pop the towel over your lap. I'll be there when you're ready."

You swallowed nervously, getting to your feet and moving to the clinical bed while your hands shook at your sides. You knew you shouldn't be nervous, Steve had seen down there before, several times in fact. He made sure you had regular check ups, making sure to take pictures of your pussy to keep on his files in case anything changed, although he'd never touched you, not once, just appraised between your legs with a clinical scrutiny.

You pulled the paper feeling curtain across the space, separating you from Steve's gaze and quickly stripped your lower half, before climbing onto the hard bed and grabbing way too much paper towel to place over your exposed core.

"Ready." You gulped nervously, hands desperately pressing the paper to your body.

"Okay." Steve hummed before pulling the curtain back, making your body flinch at the sudden screeching sound, "Comfy?" 

"Mmm it's okay." You breathed with a faux smile, "I'm just nervous."

"Don't be nervous sweetheart." He smiled reassuringly, "Nothing you haven't done before. It'll be just like when you do it yourself."

"What do you mean?" You exhaled shakily as he crossed the room, collecting a pair of blue rubber gloves from a nearby drawer.

"I mean it'll only be like when you touch yourself." He replied, facing the wall with a wide smirk and a twitch in his cock that you didn't see.

"Oh..I..I never..." You mumbled nervously, swallowing harshly with wide eyes when Steve suddenly turned to face you once more.

"You've never touched yourself before?" He asked with a raised brow and a twitch in his upper lip.

"N..no..." You repeated.

"God sweetheart, you're such an angel." He almost groaned, quickly snapping the rubber of the gloves before blowing into the opening, "So sweet."

"Oh, uh thank you Doctor Kemp." You blushed, dipping your head under his gaze.

He smiled back, pulling the latex gloves over his large hands before releasing them to his wrists with a loud slap.

"Okay just relax for me sweetie." He said softly as he positioned himself near your lower half, "Bend your knees. That's it and just let your legs drop open."

You did as he asked, pulling your legs up and planting your feet flat on the bed before dropping your knees to the sides, opening yourself up for him.

"Good girl." He praised, "See. It's okay right?"

"Yeah...okay..." You breathed, feeling more secure knowing you were safe with him as you always were.

"Okay. Let's have a look at you." Steve purred, quickly ripping the toweling away from your core and tossing it haphazardly behind him, tongue darting out to run over his lower lip as he looked at your exposed cunt.

"Mmm. Good." He hummed with a nod as his head tilted to the side.

"Is....is it okay?" You asked nervously, attempting to glance down at your own pussy.

"Very beautiful sweetheart." Steve smirked back at you before slipping his gloved hands onto your thighs gently, "Let's have a little feel, see how she's doing?"

His palms slid along the inside of your thighs until you felt his fingers tickle the outer side of your pussy and you audibly gasped at the feeling, unsure if that was how you were supposed to feel when it was your doctor touching you so innocently.

Suddenly you felt his finger tip gently flick at your untouched nub before gently massaging it and you felt an unusual heat spread across your body. 

"That feel okay?" Steve purred, glancing up at your surprised eyes and mouth hanging agape.

"Mmmhmmm." You nodded with a harsh swallow as he continued his soft movements over your clit.

"Words sweetie." Steve coaxed, "Need you to tell me how it feels."

You took a deep breath, letting your head flop back against the bed so you could stare at the ceiling instead of the way Doctor Kemp was staring back at you hungrily.

"It feels g..good." You breathed, "Kinda tingly."

"Yeah?" Steve purred in response, "You're getting nice and wet."

"Is that normal?" You squeaked suddenly, worrying as you regularly felt that flush of wetness pooling down below, often finding patches of dampness in your panties and you worried that it could mean something was wrong.

"Yeah sweetie, perfectly normal." Steve smiled, "It's a good thing."

"Oh..okay...good." You breathed, shoulders relaxing slightly, although still on edge from where he was touching you.

"Now I'm gonna need you to relax sweetheart." Steve ordered softly, "Take a deep breath. Good."

You inhaled deeply and let out a squeak as you felt one of his fingers push inside of your pussy, curling upwards to stroke your inner wall as his thumb took its place on your clit to continue the stimulation there.

Your stomach tightened, more intense heat searing at your skin as sweat began dripping from your brow.

"Oh..." You gasped at the new intrusion.

"Yeah, that okay?" Steve asked and you had to swallow, reminding yourself to use your words when all your body wanted to do was writhe and mewl.

"Mm. Feels. Good." You mumbled, chest heaving up and down.

"Yeah? You got more of those tingles?" He coaxed as he continued pumping his finger inside of you, dragging the tip against your wall and rubbing over your nub in soft circles.

"Yeah and my tummy feels funny." You admitted with a shaky breath as the strange sensations kept building.

"Good, that's what's supposed to happen sweetheart." He hummed in approval, "This is all good so far."

You let out a raspy moan as he continued working your cunt with his finger, feeling yourself becoming wetter and wetter as he continued.

"God. You're so tight." Steve groaned to himself as he stared at his finger disappearing into your virgin pussy over and over, "Dunno if you're gonna be able to take two."

"Huh? Two?" You squeaked, catching the end of his sentence and lifting your head to stare at him with a small amount of fear shooting through you.

"Of my fingers sweetie?" Steve smirked as if it was completely obvious, "Need to get two in to make sure everything is all good inside."

"Oh, okay." You nodded before dropping your head back down. You were being silly, you had nothing to be scared of, Steve was a good doctor, he'd take care of you.

"Just remember to breathe sweetheart and relax." He coaxed with a hitch in his throat, barely holding himself together as his cock pressed stiff and hard against the inside of his slacks, weeping and needy.

"Okay Doctor Kemp." You whimpered as your tummy tightened further.

"Call me Steve." He rasped as he tickled the tip of his middle finger against your opening.

"Steve?" You questioned, though it came out shaky and weak.

"Mmm. Yeah sweetie." He hummed, "You call me Steve, we know each other well enough."

"Okay Steve." You whined softly before letting out a loud moan, "Ahhh!"

"Oh yeah there we go." He grinned as he pushed his middle finger into your pussy to join the other, "Doing so good sweetie, got two fingers in there."

"Oh god. I feel...funny...." You mumbled as heat spread to the tips of your ears and tingles spread across your abdomen, stomach tightening in a way you'd never experienced in your life.

"That's good sweetheart." Steve hummed happily as he sloppily fucked you with his fingers, "That's perfect, you're going to have an orgasm."

"I am?" You gasped, unable to stop yourself from wiggling and digging your fingers into the plastic feeling bed to try and ground yourself.

"Yeah. Just let it happen." He continued, pressing more firmly on your clit and slapping his palm against your core with each thrust of his fingers, "Let me help you."

"Okay Steve." You whined, back arching from the bed involuntarily like it had a mind of its own.

"That's it. Fuck you're perfect." He groaned, using his free hand to grab his cock through his slacks, squeezing it tightly, "So tight, so wet."

"Steve." You whimpered as you felt like you were about to plummet into the abyss, body overtaken with the strange but pleasurable sensations.

"Say my name baby." He grunted, "Say my name when you come on my fingers."

You felt his fingers curl inside you, pressing on a spot that had you suddenly crying his name as your vision whited and your whole body was taken over by a white hot bliss.

"Oh god. Steeveee!" You moaned with tears pooling in your eyes.

"There we go, there she is." He breathed shakily, slowing his movements to work you through the high, "Keep breathing sweetheart, you're okay."

When your body finally relaxed against the bed, shoulders slumping with exhaustion, Steve slipped his fingers from your core, settling his dry hand on your thigh.

"You okay?" He asked softly, looking over your spent body with a proud smile.

"Mmhmm." You hummed with a lazy nod, "That was...good....I liked it...was it okay?"

"It was perfect sweetie." He reassured you, "I'm just gonna have a little taste to make sure?"

"A taste?" You said, head tipping up and eyes snapping to his, seeing a dark glint in his eyes you'd never noticed before.

"Yeah, you can tell a lot by the taste?" He smirked.

You watched as he brought the creamy coated, blue latex to his mouth, swirling his tongue around the wet digits before sucking them into his mouth with a low hum.

"Mmm god." He groaned, shifting on his feet as his erection throbbed, "Fuck."

"Is it okay?" You breathed, worried by his reaction.

"Perfect. So perfect." He hummed as his eyes rolled in pleasure at the taste of your innocence.

"Okay good." You nodded, pushing yourself up onto your elbows and letting your legs drop flat onto the bed.

Steve slowly pulled his gloves off with loud snaps of rubber, before looking at you with a gleeful smile.

"Get dressed sweetheart and we'll have a chat." He grinned before stepping towards his desk and pulling the curtain across the space, as though he hadn't just seen every part of you.

"So it was all okay?" You asked as you pulled the curtain back, clothes now firmly in place as you crossed the space and carefully sat in your seat, watching his reaction with interest.

"Yes and no." He hummed with a nod as he typed something on his computer.

"What is it?" You replied as anxiety began niggling in your mind.

He let out a sigh before turning to face you, placing his hands on your knees softly.

"You're ready sweetheart but there's a small problem." He said with a serious expression that had you shifting in your seat, hands clutching each other uselessly.

"What is it?" You mumbled as fresh tears began to pool.

"Well you're so tight that it's going to be difficult for you to have sex, painful." He admitted and your eyes widened in surprise, you had never thought about the fact that someone may not be able to fit, it hadn't even crossed your mind. You internally scolded yourself for being so stupid and naive. Your friends spoke about sex like it was so easy, you should have known it wouldn't be that simple.

"Oh." You murmured, "Is there something I can take to help?"

"I think it would be best if you come back tomorrow for a longer appointment and I will pop your cherry for you. I'll be able to do it safely and with minimal pain for you." He said, brows furrowing in concentration to stop the smirk threatening to over take his face.

"You mean? Like with equipment?" You squeaked nervously, cursing yourself when you felt more wetness pooling at the thought of Doctor Kemp playing with you again.

"No sweetie, I'll do it myself, with my cock, take real good care of you." He said softly, reaching a hand up to cradle your cheek with a genuine tenderness, "Then you should be ready for other people."

"Really? You'd do that?" You almost whimpered under his touch.

"Of course Sweetheart. Anything to help." He smiled, "I wouldn't be a very good doctor otherwise would I?"

"I guess not." You giggled, watching as his lips twisted up into a charming smile.

"Okay then." He grinned as he released you, "You go home and get some rest. You'll need it for tomorrow."

"Okay doc...Steve." You corrected yourself with a shy smile before standing, "See you tomorrow."

"Can't wait sweetheart." He smiled, watching your ass jiggle as you walked away, with his lip between his teeth and a promise to his cock that tomorrow was the day he would finally make you his, you just didn't know it yet.

@the-wandering-wonder @rnurse-kole @chemtrails-club @marvelgurl

A private jet. A different country. You really can't believe it's real. Not even as you come down the tall steps from the plane door. Or when you're led to a car with Nick; sleek and sporty. He gets in the driver's seat as you settle into the low passenger's, the angle awkward and slightly uncomfortable.

"All buckled in, sweetheart?" He reaches over to squeeze your knee. You flinch in surprise.

"Sure am." You answer.

He lets go and shifts the manual stick. You take off your crochet hat and shake it out before putting it back on. You hesitate with your fingers along the ruffle. It's not very European. Oh well.

"We'll settle in at the hotel. I don't have to be on set until the day after tomorrow. I have edits I could do in my sleep. No interviews right now. Told Colleen to keep me out of that stuff as much as possible." He says.

You nod. Unsure what to add.

He steers onto a plaza and parks. You look around, confused. He turns off the engine.

"No driving in the old city." He says. "We'll catch a town car just past the Piazza."

"Oh, uh."

"My guys got our luggage. No worries. We just gotta worry about each other, sweetheart." He assures.

"Oh yeah of course." You undo your seatbelt. "Sorry I'm just a little bit lost. Or a lot lost.”

He chuckles. “I got you, don't worry.”

He watches you. You shift and tap your fingers on your belt bag. He steps closer, hesitates, then tilts his head sideways.

“This way,” he nudges you gently with his hand behind your upper arm.

He urged you through the secured lot to the Piazza where signs announce your official arrival in Venice. The space is bustling as tourists in wide-brimmed hats and floral shirts squint at their phones, snip at errant children to hush, or look around in the same disorientation you feel. Nick's touch slips down your arm and he grips your wrist, pulling you back just before you get stampeded by a group of older women trilling about wine and pasta.

“Come on, let's get a team.” He slips his hand around yours and pulls you through the crowd.

You come out to the street as Nick pulls down his sunglasses with his other hand. He doesn't let go of you. You're happy for it. You feel like you might get lost if he did.

“Ah, here.” He says and tugs you towards a crowd shuffling onto a wired tram.

You blink at a zapping flash. You glance over at a man with a camera. You glimpse in the direction of his aim, right behind you. He must be taking pictures of the Piazza.

You trip behind Nick and he pauses, turning back to keep you steady as he catches your shoulder. “Y’okay, sweetheart? Just tell me if I need to slow down.”

“I'm fine. Promise.” You insist with a nervous smile. “It's… Venice.” You exhale away your nerves. “It's real.”

He chuckles and puts you ahead of him. He follows you up to the tram door. As you board, he calls behind you.

“Got her. For two please.”

He presses against you as he feeds the fare meter and says something in Italian to the driver. You watched the coins spiral into the slot. You didn't even think to exchange your currency, you just brought your card.

You have no idea what you're doing here. You don't know where you're going. You don't have the right money. And really, what reason do you have to be here? You don't have a job here. Not like Nick.

“Come on, sweetheart, pick a seat.” He nudges your shoulder blade.

You find a seat. He sits beside you, your backs to the window. As you wiggle your foot nervously, you catch a woman staring in your direction. Nick groans as he stretches and lets his arm fall behind you.

“Like it so far?” He asks.

“Sure, I mean… just got here but it's so pretty and exciting. And… could you imagine if LA was car free? That would be…”

“A fantasy,” he scoffs. “You know some of the studios even feel like cities. It's why I can't stand them. You got idiots on those golf carts too, acting like they can't walk the same ground as everyone else.”

“Oh, yeah, I don't…”

“Sweetheart, I been meaning to ask something.” He says. Your anxiety tweaks as he plays with the seam of your sleeve right at the top of your shoulder.

“What?” You bat your eyes at him.

“Do you think… maybe one day you'll let me see where your from?”

“What?” Really?” You cheep.

“Yeah, sure. I love little towns. They're great. I'm looking for the perfect middle of nowhere to shoot my next project.” He explains as he raises his other hand, showing his palm as he drags it through the air. “Quiet, quaint, but full of life.”

“It's really not that… interesting.” You shrug. “But if you want… I don't know if they have anywhere to land your plane.”

He laughs again. “You're funny.”

“Oh… I … know what that means.”

“Huh?”

“People say that. You're funny… when you say something stupid. I don't speak Italian but I'm learning how to speak Hollywood.” You sniff.

“No, no, sweetheart,” he sits up, squeezing your shoulder. “Never. I'd never ever… you're not stupid and nothing you say is stupid. I love it all. Everything. Just the sound of your voice.” His hand settles on your knees. “Really, you make me laugh. You make me… forget who I am. Who people need me to be.”

He rubs your knee, trailing up your leg, then pulls back. He sits against the seat and sighs. He quiet as his tongue slips out between his lips.

“Do you know what what a vaporetti is?” He asks.

“Mmm, no. That wasn't in my Duolingo.” You hum.

“Waterbus. We gotta hop off this thing shortly and we'll get one….” He stops and stares at your perplexed face. “A boat. We gotta cross the canal.”

“The canal?” You utter.

“You're not afraid of water, are you, sweetheart?” He asks.

You shake your head. “I don't think so.”

“To the right, sweetheart,” Nick calls from behind you.

You nod and follow his direction. The attendant leads you into the body of the plane. There aren’t rows like a commercial flight; there’s a cushy looking leather sofa with seat belts tucked into the corners, two seats with reclining backs and foot rests, and a whole dining set with cushioned benches.

“Sit wherever you like.” The attendant says. “I’m Cassidy and I’ll be your in-flight attendant.” She smiles. “You and Mr. Fowler.” 

You introduce yourself with a squeak.

She looks past you. “Sir, is there anything I can get you?”

“Once we’re in air, she’ll want a drink. Something bubbly.” He says sternly.

“Yes, Mr. Fowler. And you’re usual?” She offers.

“I’ll have the same as her.” He shoulders by her, his eyes on you. “Sweetheart, what are you feeling? You can lay down, have a nap. Or maybe a window seat? You can watch take off.”

You rock back and forth and play with the brim of your crochet hat. “I… sure. That’s cool. I bet taking off is scary.”

He grins. “I’ll be here.” He winks and stares at you.

You clear your throat and look around. You move cautiously to the chair by the window and sit. You clutch your belt bag around your waist and lean forward to peek out the window. Your neck is alight with self-awareness.

You glance over as Nick lowers himself into the seat beside you. He’s watching you. Still.

“Sorry, I’m nervous. I drove to LA, you know? I probably said that already.” You smile sheepishly.

“Any turbulence, just hold onto me,” he assures you. “I don’t mind.”

“Um, that’s nice.” You nod and look out the window again.

“Simon’s a good pilot. Don’t worry too much.” He says.

“I’m not worried. Just… excited, I guess.”

You sit back and wait. Nick rests his arm on the rest between you. His fingers flutter.

“You sure you’re okay?” He asks.

You can hear movement in the plane as they close the doors. Voices call back and forth as they check the windows. You fidget.

“Really, it’s just… Just the other day I was running trays across a lot and now I’m… going to Venice.”

“Hollywood moves fast,” he clucks. “But not when you need it too.”

“Right, er…” You giggle, more nervous than amused.

“Hello, Mr. Fowler,” the attendant greets, adding your name as well, “we’re almost ready for take off. We need belts on.”

He flicks her away with his fingers and searches for his seat belt. You do the same. He clasps his and sighs. You take a bit longer, mindful of his observation.

“Here,” he reaches over to help you adjust the belt and the buckle finally slips in. His fingers graze your stomach, knuckles pressing into you right before he pulls away. “Nice and safe.” He brushes across the back of your hand.

“Thanks,” you eke out and turn back, lean over to the window. 

You peer through as the plane clangs and juts and the engines begin to hum. The wheels start to roll and you blindly latch onto the armrest, only to grab onto Nick’s arm instead. You show your teeth and laugh at yourself, apologising before you pull away.

You stare through the window as the runway blurs under the plane and feel the tilt beneath you. The motion disorients you as you watch the world sink beneath you. You stare down at the grids of the city, the green, the tarmac, the water.

You feel a tickle on your arm, up and down from elbow to shoulder. You gasp and smile as the clouds surround you and you sit back. You look at Nick as he strokes your arm. You clamp your lips tight.

“Wow,” you say.

His fingers linger for a moment then he drops his hand away. His brow ticks. He sits back and nods. “Pretty amazing, huh?”

“Yes!” You answer. “I think so, at least. I bet for you it’s not.”

“I still enjoy it.” He says. “Even more with someone to share it with.”

“And thank you. I never… could’ve dreamed.”

The plane levels out. He takes off his seatbelt and you copy him. You wriggle in the chair and pull your purse around. You dig inside.

“What’re you up to?” He wonders.

“Oh… you don’t mind if I read?”

He shrugs and looks away. He raises his hand and Cassidy appears. She has two glasses in hand with pink wine and berries inside. She sets them on the low table in front of the chair.

“Mr. Fowler.” She dips her head.

“Thank you,” you say. Nick leans his chin in his hand. He stays like that for a minute before he drops his arm and sits up. He reaches for the glasses. “Here. Have a taste.”

He offers you a glass. You leave your book in your purse and push it to the other side of your lap. You accept the wine and look at the bubbles running up the crystal. You sniff it. It smells sweet.

You take a sip. Your cheeks pinch. You can taste the berries but the wine is still stringent enough to make you choke. You giggle and mop your lips with the back of your hand.

“Sorry,” you murmur.

“You don’t like it?” He keeps his away from his mouth.

“No, I do. I’m just not used to it. I don’t drink, you know?” You say. “Not very much.”

“You really are new to LA,” he chuckles and clinks his glass on yours.

“Yeah… I’m a total noob.”

“A noob?” He muses.

“Um, yeah…” you look at the wine as your cheeks burn. “Oh!” Your eyes flick up. “You’ll have to be my translator. I tried some duolingo but I can’t roll my r’s. I just kinda sound like I’m drowning.”

His brows arch and his cheeks dimple. He takes a deep sip of wine then pulls the glass away. He licks his lips.

“No problem at all. You’ll wanna keep close to me anyway.” He once more pets your arm. “You know, Venice is a tourist trap and lotta people know that. Easy to lift a wallet off a distracted traveller… or worse.”

“Oh?” Your eyes round.

Drabble #1 - A Cultural Treasure Rating: General Audiences

Sam grabbed the remote. “Buck, tonight, you experience a masterpiece.”

Bucky arched his brow. “A masterpiece?”

“A cinematic event,” you replied.

“For once we are going to watch one of the big three instead of fighting them.”

Your brow furrowed, “Big three? Oh, aliens, androids or wizards!”

Sam gave Bucky a look that said, see she gets it.

Bucky stared at the screen, unimpressed. 

You and Sam simultaneously burst, “We will not vanish without a fight… Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

The credits rolled.

“Aliens invade Earth…the solution is… a computer virus?” Bucky deadpanned.

Sam gasped. “Respectfully, shut up.”

Drabble #2 - Land of the Free Rating: Teen

The Winter Soldier waited until the first explosion of colour filled the sky, then he moved. White flashed bright across the floor.. Blue caught on the barrel of the gun. Red lit the metal of his arm as he raised it.

Silent, steady.

He pulled the trigger just as the sky opened again.

BANG

The shot vanished beneath the fireworks.

The body in front of him crumpled onto the carpet. For a moment he stood there, outlined in borrowed light, watching the colors burst in the dark puddle spilling out across the floor before stepping back.

“Extraction request, target eliminated.”

Drabble #3 – Overrated Rating: General Audiences

Bucky didn’t like fireworks. 

They were too loud. Too bright. They reminded him of bombs during the war. They filled his head with too many bad memories. 

He hated how he tensed up over something meant to be beautiful and celebratory. 

He hated that he couldn’t watch them with you and be normal. 

But you didn’t mind. Not one bit. You just shut the curtains and handed him a pair of noise cancelling headphones when you sat down. 

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, reaching for your hand. 

“I’m not. I promise,” you whispered back. “Because fireworks are overrated.”

Bucky finally smiled.

Drabble #4 - Best Laid Plans Rating: Mature

Bucky had a plan.

Flowers. Wine. Something resembling romance. Eighty years of missed birthdays deserved at least that much. Right?

Steve was out on the balcony in nothing but dog tags and a grin that had been causing Bucky problems since 1930.

"You gonna declare independence from those pants anytime soon?"

Bucky's plan dissolved completely.

Two strides. Flowers hit the floor. He walked Steve backwards into the railing, vibranium hand curling around his waist, mouth finding his throat.

Steve made a sound that went straight to Bucky's cock.

"Happy birthday, punk," Bucky murmured as the sky lit up above them.

**It is not specified whether or not Bucky has his metal arm or long hair in this AU as it's left for your preference.

The day after your chat with Sam, your brain was still trying to process the new emotions and feelings it had brought up. You were still trapped, still being forced to marry the man who murdered your boyfriend but now that man is a complicated mystery. You know don't have to like him, but maybe you can get through to him or find a way to make this situation bearable.

After spending the day alone with your thoughts, you finally join the team for dinner where Bucky informs everyone he's got business to attend to that evening and leaves with Sharon in tow. Yelena suggests the rest of the gang have a poker night and invites you to join in although you are hesitant at first having absolutely no experience, she insists they will be able to teach you.

So now there you were, three beers deep and playing poker with a group of ragtag misfits and surprisingly finding yourself enjoying their company. You even managed to win a few games.

You were all sat at the smaller table in the kitchen rather than the dining room with yourself at one head of the table. Yelena was to your left with Walker next to her and Bob was on your right next to Ava.

"Come on. You know you can't fool me Walker." Yelena purrs when you are approaching the end of a game, with just her and John left in.

"I'm not trying to fool you Yelena, I have a winning hand, I'm all in." John replies confidently.

"Oh you are so dead my friend." Yelena replies pushing her chips into the pile in the middle of the table.

"I'd like to see you try shorty." John quips sarcastically.

"Shorty? Really? You can do better Walker. I'm disappointed." Yelena teases.

You lean over to bob whilst eyeing the pair.

"Is there usually this much trash talking in poker? You whisper.

Bob laughs at you shaking his head, "Not usually."

"No, there isn't." Ava says not amused in the slightest as she watches the game unfold.

Yelena lays down a royal flush with a smug smile and John huffs and throws his cards on the table.

"You cheated." John scoffs.

"You are such a sore loser walker." Yelena replies, smiling greedily as she scoops all the chips up.

"I'm not when it's not rigged." John insists with his arms folded across his chest.

"John, really?" Ava disapproves.

"What? I'm just saying." John continues.

"No, you're being a baby!" Ava scorns.

"I'm not being a baby!" John argues pettily, throwing his hands in the air.

"A bratty little baby." Yelena adds with a smirk.

"I'm not a baby. I'm all man." John says standing up and leaning on the table towards Ava, "You want me to show you."

"You wish." Ava scoffs with an eye roll.

"Yuck." Yelena adds with a fake gag.

You and Bob watch the exchange in amusement and chuckle. You can't help but to stir the pot a little, seeing the chemistry that's clearly being denied. 

"Oh, I thought you and John were together Ava?" You ask pulling an innocent face as John slumps back in his chair.

"What? No? Him?" Ava spouts with a scornful look.

"No we're...wait why did you say it like that?" John asks Ava, looking a little hurt, but hiding it beneath his bravado.

"Because it's disgusting." Ava replies.

"You'd be lucky to have me on your arm." John insists.

"I'd be lucky if you walked out of here and got hit by a car." Ava teases with a sly smile.

"How could you think I'd ever be with her. She's insufferable?" John grunts in your direction.

"And you're a pig." Ava snarks.

"Sorry I'm having trouble hearing you through all the sexual tension in the air." You tease while Bob and Yelena laugh.

"What?!" They both shout in unison.

"Americans do flirt in strange ways I've noticed." Yelena says looking between the two.

"Were not flirting!" John yells.

"I mean...you guys do flirt a little." Bob adds softly.

"We do not." Ava insists.

"You seek each other out just to fight." Yelena quips.

"That's not flirting!" Ava argues.

"Isn't it?" You reply with an eyebrow raised and you, Yelena and Bob can't help but burst into laughter at the look of realization on the other twos faces.

Bucky arrived home a few minutes prior, after a frustrating strategy meeting with the other families and just wanted to come home to bed. He was halted when he heard the laughter echoing through the halls from the direction of the kitchen.

He made his way through the halls quickly, until he found the five of you in the kitchen. You were laughing loudly. He couldn't help but stop in the doorway and watch you looking so carefree and happy. A genuine smile on your face that hit him straight in the gut. He would do anything to keep it there.

Bob looked up and spotted Bucky in the door way before anyone else and called out to him, "Oh, Hey Boss."

"Hey guys." Bucky says with a smile of soft affection at the team, "What you guys up too?"

"We're teaching this one to play poker." Yelena says nudging your arm making you smile.

"You joining for a game boss man?" Ava asks.

You finally look up at him and can see the slightly defeated look on his face, the bags under his eyes hinting at the exhaustion he wears daily. Despite all that he's still incredibly handsome, beard neatly trimmed with a two piece black suit and white shirt fitting to his tight sculptured torso that makes your thighs clench together involuntarily. You scorn yourself immediately for even thinking it.

"No I think I'm gonna head up." He says solemnly, "But you guys have fun."

He goes to turn around and the alcohol in your system decides to speak for you, a hint of flirtation on your tone that even you didn't expect.

"Afraid to lose?" You quip with a eyebrow raised and a smirk.

Bucky thinks he must be dreaming when he looks at the face you're pulling at him, a look you've never given to him before.

"No, I just don't want to embarrass you when you inevitably lose." He teases back.

"Try me." You goad causing him to chuckle.

He dips his head observing you as his tongue swipes over his bottom lip.

"You're on angel." He says defiantly before stripping his jacket off and taking a seat at the opposite end of the table.

"And they say we have sexual tension." Ava says to John in annoyance..

"Shut up." You grumble, though you can't deny that in that moment it definitely lingers. You blame the alcohol. It must be the alcohol. But for some reason you can't help but feel happy when that annoyingly sexy smirk appears on Bucky's face.

"You want a beer boss?" Bob says getting up from beside you to head over to the fridge.

"Sure." Bucky responds before turning his attention to the group. "But if you're all drinking who the hell is watching the house?"

It's said in a stern tone but with an undertone of trust and teasing.

"Jones is on the cameras." Ava says picking up the cards to shuffle them.

"I'm not drinking." Walker announces proudly, drumming the table edge with his fingers.

"I'm Russian." Yelena says with an eyebrow raised at Bucky who chuffs in response.

"Well I AM drinking and I'm enjoying it." You respond happily as Bob returns placing another bottle next to you and one for himself before handing one to Bucky and sitting down.

"I can see that angel." Bucky smirks.

You can't help but stick your tongue out in response and his lips curve into a boyish grin that sends another wave of heat to your core. You think you should probably stop drinking but you really don't want too. You haven't felt this carefree in a long time and you want to enjoy every minute before it crashes down on you in the morning.

The game goes on with general teasing and joking amongst the group and you can tell Bucky is more relaxed than when he walked in. In fact he's seems at home, content even. You and Bucky are locked in, trying to one up each other as the game progresses and you keep adding chips until you finally knock out everyone else. By the time the game is drawing to its conclusion you have finished your fourth and fifth beer and are just towing that line between tipsy and drunk.

You look at your hand, you have a straight. Not the best but still pretty good odds of winning. When you look over at Bucky's face, it frustratingly reveals nothing to you.

"Getting nervous angel." He teases.

"Not in the slightest jerk." You respond with a sly smile, "I'm all in."

"Okay angel, show me what you got." He demands.

You lay down your cards with a smug smile as the others clap and whoop teasingly in Buckys direction. You sit back with your arms folded joyfully.

"Oh baby girl." Bucky purrs in a low voice that rolls through your spine. "You've just learned a valuable lesson."

"And what's that?" You smirk.

"Never underestimate me." He smirks smugly before laying down four of a kind and taking the game to a chorus of laughter and oohs.

"Do I get a prize?" He teases as your mouth hangs agape.

"I won't punch you in the dick?" You offer.

"You weren't going too anyway." He laughs.

"Maybe not but I've definitely thought about it." You tease making the rest of the team laugh.

"Haven't we all." Yelena adds.

"Oooh yay, are we ganging up on Bucky now?" John celebrates.

"Pipe down Walker, you're still target number one." Ava teases forcing you all to chuckle once more.

"Before you two start dry humping," You say pointing between John and Ava who have given up arguing and are just laughing along, "I'm gonna go to bed. Thanks for a fun night guys."

They all give out a chorus of goodbyes as you round the table to exit. As you reach Bucky he stands.

"Walk you up?" He asks shyly, pushing his hands into his pants pockets.

You glance up at him and that cute boyish smile plastered on his face has you weak.

"Sure." You reply and you both head towards the stairs.

"So I never asked," You begin as you match each other's pace. "Where the hell do all the guys sleep? They're always here."

"Oh," He chuckles scratching his neck, "the buildings at the end of the property. I had them converted into apartments for all of them so they had their own space. Sam and Sharon are the only members of the main group that don't live here."

"Wow. Must suck having your boss as your landlord." You tease with a smile.

He laughs softly and places his hand on your back as you begin to climb the stairs to the upper floor.

"I'm sure they hate every second." He responds. "But it's free accommodation, no commute to work and they can always move out whenever they want. I just wanted them to have the option."

"That's surprisingly generous." You admit shyly.

"I like to take care of the people I love." He says seriously, looking at you as you make it to your bedroom door.

You meet his gaze and realize how close he is now that you've stopped. So close you can smell the woodsy cologne he's wearing and see the wrinkles around his stunning blue eyes. You can't help but glance quickly at his plush pillowy lips as your breath hitches.

Before you even know what's happening you push forward and plant your lips on his, seeming to catch him off guard. He is quick to respond. Placing his hands on your hips and clutching firmly as you move your mouth against his and slide your hands up the length of his shirt feeling the taut muscles below until you grip at the collar to keep him anchored to you.

His tongue caresses your lips and you part them to allow him to work it into your mouth. Your stomach is tightening and wetness is pooling in your underwear as the kiss becomes heated, both of your tongues lapping at one another's in unison. Your hands are clutching each other wantingly as soft moans and groans erupt from both of your throats.

"I want you." You whimper through ragged breaths as you part for a moment, the heat in your core driving you to need more.

Bucky looks in your eyes, panting from the kiss and you think he's going to move back in but much to your dismay he takes a step back.

"No." He mumbles swallowing deeply and you sink. You're drunk, horny and now incredibly self conscious, hanging your head in shame at what you've done.

Two fingers slip under your chin and pull your gaze back up to Bucky's.

"It's not that I don't want too." He says softly, "Trust me, I really fucking do."

You sigh but don't break eye contact.

"But you're drunk angel. I want you to be sober when I take you for the first time. I want you to want it as badly as I want you. I want you to remember every single fucking second because believe me baby, I'm gonna make it count."

You inhale deeply as your heart pounds and you nod in understanding despite your pussy wanting to make him change his mind.

"Okay. Goodnight Bucky." You say softly.

"Goodnight angel." He replies, watching as you make your way into your room and close the door.

"I've got eyes on target, moving south." Jake said, looking through the high tech, thermal binoculars as he laid flat on the ground at the edge of the mountain top, looking down at the town below.

"Stay on him." Clay ordered, "We need to see where he's going."

"No problem bo..." Jake began before his nostrils flared and his cock twitched in his pants, body flooding with something he couldn't put a name on, as the most amazing smell filled the air around him, "Oh shit."

"What is it?" Clay asked with concern, stomping across the space between him and Jake.

"What is that?" Jake rasped, dropping the binoculars from his face and taking another deep inhale of the sweet scent.

"What's what?" Clay responded with a raised brow.

"You can't smell that?" Jake breathed, getting up to his feet, sniffing the air around him, "It's incredible. Smells like...oh god...smells like...mate..."

"What?" Clay gasped as Jake continued sniffing the air over the edge of the cliff. "Are you serious?"

Jake couldn't stop breathing the scent in, desperate to follow it, desperate to find his mate, like his instincts were talking for him.

"Jake?" Clay yelled, snapping Jake's attention back to him, as Pooch, Aisha and Cougar ran over to see what was going on.

"Shit, the target?" Jake fumbled, quickly grasping at the binoculars on the floor, realising he'd completely lost track of his mission.

"Forget about the target!" Clay ordered, brows and lips raised in amusement, "Did you say mate? Did you. Jake Jensen. Absolute loser and failure with women. Just say that you smell your mate?"

"Uhh ..yeah I did." Jake said shyly, scratching at the back of his neck, "I think."

The team shared surprised glances between each other while Jake rocked on his feet nervously.

"You think?" Clay responded.

"I mean yeah I can smell someone strong." He shrugged, "Smells like cherries, vanilla, makes me wanna go home, but that home is wherever that smell is. Is that...normal?"

"Well shit Jensen!" Clay exclaimed with a grin, clapping Jake on the shoulder and shaking him as Jake smiled with a blush.

"Congratulations man!" Pooch cheered, whilst Cougar offered Jake a nod of his head.

"New mission fellas," Clay announced, "We're gonna go find Jakey boys mate."

"But..the target..." Jake argued feebly.

"The target can wait! Need to find your mate before she smells you and realises you're a loser. " Clay teased, ruffling Jakes hair, while he batted him away.

"Ha. Funny." Jake deadpanned, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Just kidding buddy, I'm happy for ya." Clay said sincerely before looking at the other losers and clapping his hands together loudly, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Jensen's omega."

The group whooped and cheered as they made quick work of packing up their gear, ready to start a new mission. A mission that would lead to you.

"This way." Jake ordered desperately, hanging his head out of the passenger side window, sniffing the air frantically while Pooch drove, "Shit she's close."

They pulled into a small culdesac, idling along slowly as Jake scented the area. As they pulled up beside one of the large houses, his body stiffened, filled with anticipation and want.

"This is it." He rasped nervously, "This house. Shes here."

Pooch pulled along the curb and Jake jumped out, followed by Clay and Aisha, while the other two watched on from the truck.

They stopped at the gate and Jake's hand stilled on the white picket fence,

"Fuck. Do I look okay?" He rambled, "Do I smell okay? What do I say?"

"He's losing it." Clay smirked in amusement.

"Move out of the way." Aisha scolded, nudging Clay back so she could place a comforting hand on Jake's arm as he looked longingly at your front door. "Hey, Jake?"

"Yeah." He grumbled.

"Calm down okay." Aisha coaxed softly, "You're gonna do great, she's your mate, she's gonna love you. Just be yourself."

"Right. Myself." Jake mumbled to himself, "I can do that. Sure. Here goes nothing."

He pushed the gate open while Clay and Aisha watched on proudly from the opening like adoring parents.

His hands shook and his heartbeat quickened the closer he got to the door, your scent luring him in like a siren.

His fist raised and he shook his head, scolding himself for being so nervous. He was an alpha, he could do this, he'd told himself.

The knock vibrated through the door and Jake waited with bated breath as he heard the sounds of small feet scampering along wooden floors, before the latch clicked.

Meanwhile you had been restless all day, your neck had been throbbing right over the spot where mating glands appear and you felt like lightning had shot through your whole body, like it knew something was coming.

When the door rattled later on that day, your body stilled, eyes widening in fear before a soothing smell permeated the air.

As you inhaled your breath hitched and your throat tightened, a tear slipping over your cheek as the smell of old wood and spice called out to you, mate.

You knew you shouldn't move closer, you knew you should turn around and walk away, but you couldn't stop your feet as they pattered towards the wooden door, towards home.

You shakily pulled on the lock, and opened the door, eyes falling onto the most beautiful man you'd ever seen in your life. From his blond tips and goatee down to his board shorts and flip flops. Everything about him was just.. right, but nothing was ever that simple.

"Hello can I help you?" You squeaked nervously, tamping down the desperate urge to jump into the alphas arms.

"Hi, uhh I'm Jake. Jensen. Jake Jensen." Jake rambled, scratching the back of his neck nervously, as his whole body flooded with warmth at the sound of your voice and the sight of your beauty, "Shit. Sorry I'm nervous. You're beautiful. Fuck."

"Let her talk Jake!" Clay yelled from the gateway and Jake let out a nervous huff of laughter while you watched on with a lump in your throat.

"Sorry. Hi." He repeated shyly, lips curving up into a gorgeous welcoming smile.

"Hi. I don't..." You breathed nervously, suddenly aware of the open street and the rules you'd broken, "You can't be here."

"What?" Jake almost whimpered in dejection from those few words alone.

"You need to leave." You rasped desperately, "Now."

"But..I'm..and you're...I..." Jake mumbled as his eyes narrowed and the smile slipped from his face.

"He'll be home soon, if he smells you..." You pleaded, holding back the tears that threatened to fall, "Please...I can't do this...I have to go."

You slammed the door quickly, quickly closing the lock.

"Well shit." Jake huffed before stomping down the path with his head lowered.

"What happened?" Clay asked, worry painting his face.

"She told me to leave." Jake muttered.

"What?" Aisha gasped in shock, following behind him as he made his way back to the van.

"Yeah. I dunno." He muttered shakily, "She seemed scared. Could smell it on her."

"Scared of you?" Clay queried with a raised brow.

"I dunno. But I don't think I wanna give up." Jake sighed, "Sorry. I know that sounds stupid."

"Not stupid Jake." Aisha comforted.

"They got a hotel round here?" Clay asked, directing his attention to Pooch and Cougar.

"Two blocks away, four rooms, already on it." Pooch confirmed, not even glancing up from the phone in his hand as he typed away.

"Thanks guys." Jake smiled sadly.

"No problem," Clay replied, placing a comforting hand on Jake's shoulder, "We'll figure it out."

You collapsed against the back of the door, breath heaving and heart hammering. You had just seen your mate. Yours. But how?

You'd always been told you wouldn't have one. You were broken, not complete, a worthless omega.

You'd spent your teen life watching from the sidelines as your peers went through puberty, experiencing their first ruts and heats with excitement as they finally found out their designations.

Meanwhile, you were carted around to different doctors by your alpha mother and beta father, having test after test to find out what was wrong.

The results were conclusive, you would never have a heat, you would never get your mating glands, you could never bare pups. Although it had been obvious from your anatomy and profile that you should have presented as omega, it's like your body just stopped there, like it gave up and didn't provide you with anything else, you didn't even have a smell, so how this alpha found you you didn't know.

Your mother and father abandoned you soon after, a broken omega wasn't what they'd dreamt of, didn't fit into your mother's picture perfect life, so at the age of 18, you were on your own.

Now here you were at almost 30 and you were more confused than ever. Why would fate give you a mate only for you to never be good enough, for you to not be able to do what an omega should do for their alpha. The thought alone had your neck pulsing and throbbing once more as you sobbed against the door.

"Honey!" Grant called as he stepped over the threshold of your home.

You quickly tucked the bleach into the cupboard, hoping all your frantic cleaning had been enough to dampen the overwhelming smell of the alpha that had been near your home, despite wanting to soak in his scent.

"Hey, you're home." You smiled feebly as he crossed into the kitchen, his nose wrinkled and a scowl on his face.

"What the fuck is that smell?" He snarled angrily as he crossed the space, wrinkles forming over his hairless head as he continued to scrunch up his face in disgust.

"What smell?" You said anxiously, playing with your shaky hands behind your back as your heart rate accelerated, "I don't smell anything."

"Don't play fucking dumb with me bitch, I smell another alpha." He yelled, stomping over to you and taking your arm in his fist, "You had a man in here?"

"No. I promise I haven't." You began to plead, "There was a guy, he knocked on the door that's it, I sent him away I promise."

"Do you realise how lucky you are that I chose you?" Grant snarled, nose touching yours as he bore down on you, "That I felt sorry for your broken ass and took you in anyway."

"I do." You whimpered, "I know."

You did know how lucky you were. He found you a few years ago and decided to date you despite your flaws, claiming he never wanted kids or the annoying link that came with a mating bond.

He'd had his own bad luck after his own mate rejected him and it felt like fate that you'd met each other at the time.

When his true colours started to show, you made constant excuses for his behaviour blaming yourself for not being good enough, though he made sure to remind you at every opportunity that you were correct and you were lucky to have him.

You'd moved in quickly, after only six months of dating, convinced that he was your only chance, you never imagined that one day you would have a mate of your own, one whom you already felt drawn too, like he could protect you and keep you safe from everyone and everything, including the man now leaving bruises on your arm and frothing at the mouth in temper.

"So why are you lying to me?" He growled, saliva spitting from his mouth, landing on your face.

"I'm not I swear I would never..." You whimpered

His free hand raised, thwacking through the air as his knuckles connected to your cheek with a thud. If it wasn't for his hold on you, you would have probably ended up on the floor.

"Lying fucking bitch!" He yelled while tears began pooling in your eyes and your cheek throbbed, "His smell is all over you!"

"I didn't..I..." You stammered as a lump travelled up your throat, trying desperately to plead your innocence. You knew you never should have opened that door, he didn't like when you did.

"Shut up!" He commanded.

Your jaw snapped shut, body going rigid and tears streaming down your face from the alpha command.

"Better." He growled, "Now get your ass up stairs and present for your alpha. I'm gonna show you just what happens when you let another alpha touch you."

On the other side of town, Jake was pacing back and forth in the hotel bar while most of his teammates sat with their drinks of choice.

"Something's wrong." He muttered, hands gripping his hips, "Clay. Something's wrong. I can feel it. I don't know how but I can."

"Calm down Jensen." Clay responded from his seat, "What do you mean something's wrong?"

Jake shook his head at the ground, feet still moving of their own accord as his body filled with a horrible feeling that he couldn't understand, he just knew he needed to get to you.

"I don't know," He sighed, "I just feel it. She's hurting. She's scared."

"Cougar is on lookout, he'd report if something happened, last we heard she was still at home." Clay attempted to reassure him.

Jake stilled in front of Clay, eyes widened in fear, "I'm telling you clay, something's wrong. We gotta get over there."

"Just...hang on..." Clay ordered softly, pulling his phone from his pocket and quickly pressing it to his ear, "Cougar, do you have eyes on the target?"

"Still at home, no change." Cougar confirmed through the phone.

"See, she's home." Clay sighed at Jake, pressing his lips in a flat line.

"Clay. Please?" Jake pleaded, watching as Clay's resolve snapped and his need to help his teammate and friend took over.

"Fuck fine. Okay." He said with a nod, jumping from his seat before turning to Aisha and Pooch, "Stay here. It's probably nothing. The two of us will go and Cougar will watch our six."

They responded with nods as Jake muttered impatiently to himself, "Okay. Okay. Let's go."

"Jensen. Calm down." Clay said softly, placing his hand on Jake's shoulder as they made their way to the exit of the hotel.

"Calm down." Jake mumbled anxiously, "Right. Yup. On it."

You were curled in a ball on the bed, naked and covered in bruises from the hits you'd taken. Your pussy was sore and leaking with cum while your whole body shook from the fear.

Grant was stood at the end of the bed, tucking his shirt back into his pants with a proud smile on his face whenever he glanced back at your quivering form.

Suddenly your mating gland spot began throbbing again and you jumped when a loud knock resonated from downstairs.

Grant tutted in disapproval before sending a warning snarl your way and heading out of the room.

The knock sounded again and Grant threw the door open, eyes falling on Jake and Clay who stood in the doorway, Clay's hands tucked into his trousers while Jake looked around nervously.

"What do you want?" He snapped, eyes narrowing on the two while his nostrils flared, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hello sir my name is Clay." Clay replied calmly with a smile on his face, "Me and my friend here are new to the neighbourhood and just wanted to introduce ourselves, right Jake?"

"Right, yeah." Jake muttered, glancing behind Grant into the house.

Grant inhaled, eyes zeroing in on Jake as his fists clenched.

"You!" He yelled, pointing a finger in the other alphas face, "You were here earlier!"

"Uhh...well I mean..." Jake stuttered nervously, looking over at Clay for support, as he tried to work out how to play the scenario out.

"You the one sniffing near my woman?" Grant snarled.

"Your woman?" Jake said back with an underbite of something possessive and angry at the new information.

"Yeah, my fucking woman!" Grant continued.

"Well funny story," Clay chuffed, "Jensen here is actually her mate, so if you don't mind we'd just like to talk to her, check she's okay."

"Mate?" Grant snorted in amusement, "She can't have a mate."

"What do you mean?" Jake replied in confusion.

"Ha!" Grant laughed loudly, "You think you're gonna come here and find some perfect omega to take away and cherish? Sorry to disappoint you but she's a mess, she's broken, incomplete."

Jake's fists began to clench, body tightening as Grant spoke so unkindly about his mate, the woman he already couldn't stop thinking about.

"No mating glands, no smell, never had a heat." Grant continued with a smirk, "She's useless. Can't even do what an omega should. She's lucky I took pity on her ass."

"Stop." Jake muttered before narrowing his eyes on Grant and deepening his tone, "Stop talking about her like that."

"What? You defending her already?" Grant scoffed, "Trust me when you know how pathetic she is you won't want her either."

You whimpered in pain on the bed as your body began to convulse. Pain seared through your bones, neck throbbing and body weakening, something was wrong, something more than just the bruises you'd been left with.

"What the fuck? Is she okay?" Jake yelled, hearing your cries from the upstairs of the home, "Let me see her!"

He attempted to step inside the door, only to be pushed back by the other alpha harshly.

"Stay the fuck out of my house. She's fine." Grant sneered, "Just got taught a lesson about letting other alphas near her."

"You fucking asshole!" Jake yelled angrily, instincts going haywire that his mate needed him, that he needed to protect her.

There was no warning before the first crack of Jake's fist landed across Grant's jaw, forcing him to stumble back into the home.

Grant let out an angry snarl before launching himself back at the other man, punching him in the stomach. Jake retaliated in kind, unleashing his fists onto the other man as he continued to try and gain access to the house.

You heard the commotion between the waves of nausea and dizziness, slowly making your way to the stairs where your eyes fell on the scene of the brawl on the lower floor.

"Grant." You whimpered.

All of a sudden, three sets of eyes snapped to you, bodies stilling as they watched your body turn white.

"Something's wrong." You whispered before you collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Your eyes flickered open, pain throbbing through your core and a dull ache on your neck. When they focused, you looked around the sterile room as your heart hammered in fear, confusion filling your mind as you recalled being at home and now you were somewhere else entirely.

You looked to the side, suddenly noticing a figure sitting on a chair a couple of feet away, blonde hair running through thick fingers while his elbows rested on his knees.

You cleared your throat dryly and Jake's head raised, eyes snapping to yours and relief washing through his body.

"Hey, you're awake." He said as the tension dropped from his shoulders.

He quickly shuffled his chair closer to the bed and took your hand in his, pleased when you didn't try to shrug him off.

You felt the roughness of his hands against your own and a blush rose up your chest.

"What happened?" You rasped, "Where's Grant?"

"Far away from here if he knows what's good for him." Jake scoffed with a furrow in his brow, as his thumb rubbed gently over your knuckles.

"What do you mean?" You whimpered in confusion.

"Sweetheart....Shit sorry." He mumbled to himself before turning to you with a serious expression, "But listen. You're my mate, mine. I'm not gonna stand by and watch that man beat you to death. I had to get rid of him, to keep you safe. You're mine and I want you, if you'll have me."

"You don't understand." You sniffed as a tear fell onto your cheek, "I'm not.. I'm not right."

As much as you wanted to be free from Grant, to fall into the arms of this alpha who looked at you like you hung the moon, you knew he didn't understand how wrong he was about you, you weren't right for him.

"I know about your problems." He admitted and your eyes widened in surprise, mouth dropping open as he continued, "I know and I don't care. I want you and I'll never treat you like that. I promise."

You felt a sob rip through your chest. Could you really be with your mate, could he really look past everything and take you as you were, could you be free?

"Okay..." You whispered shyly.

"Okay?" Jake repeated, lips curling up into a grin.

You nodded, blush spreading across your cheeks before your brows furrowed once more, mind racing over everything that had happened.

"How...how did you find me?" You asked curiously.

"Smelt you a mile away." Jake grinned, "I knew right then I had to find you."

"You...you smelt me..." You gasped in surprise, "But I..I don't..."

The door to your room swung open and a short beta man in a white coat walked in, clipboard in hand and a friendly smile on his face.

"Good morning, you're awake, fantastic." The doctor beamed as he crossed the space, stopping in front of the bed.

Jake's hand clutched supportively on your hand as you both looked up at the doctor with worry placing your brows.

"We found the cause of the collapse." He began, "Thankfully none of your injuries are life threatening, just bruising."

"So what happened?" You rasped nervously.

"Your body was flooded with hormones, it overtook your whole system and it was a lot to take at once." He replied, flicking the paper on the clipboard with a hum.

You only grew more confused at what the doctor was saying.

"Hormones? I don't..." You mumbled.

"Yep." The doctor smiled, "I looked over your file. Seems your last doctor was wrong, you are a perfectly healthy omega, just a late bloomer it seems. Something must have happened because it's all kicking in at once."

Jake gaped at the doctor wide eyed, flicking back to your confused expression.

"Kicking in?" You replied with a squirm.

"Yep, your glands have come in," He nodded, pointing to your neck, "Practically overnight and you are in the early stages of your first heat."

"What? Heat?" You panicked suddenly, completely overwhelmed and confused, "But I can't...I don't..."

"Doctor. I think..maybe this is a bit overwhelming..." Jake interrupted, squeezing your hand in his once more, immediately helping to calm you, "Could you slow it down a bit?"

"Right of course." The doctor sighed with a caring smile, "Has anything changed recently in your life? Anything big?"

You looked back at Jake, heart warming at just the mere sight of him and swallowed thickly.

"I'm her mate." Jake nodded, "We just met."

"That'll do it." The doctor chuckled, "It seems that the introduction of your mate has triggered your hormones to finally do what they are supposed to do."

It couldn't be could it? All you needed all this time was Jake.

"Really?" You squeaked.

"Yes, your glands are now fully formed and you are in the first stage of coming into heat." The doctor repeated more clearly and slowly this time.

"I'm not...broken?" You whispered, feeling Jake's hand clutch tightly around yours.

"You're a perfectly healthy omega and your body is doing all the things it should." The doctor said softly.

You let out a whimper as tears began to trickle down your cheeks, but not from fear, for the first time in so long, there were tears of real joy.

"Do you have somewhere safe you can go to make it through your heat?" The doctor asked and your gaze snapped to his.

"I...I don't.." You panicked, remembering that your home wasn't your home anymore.

"You can stay with me." Jake offered shyly, "If you want. I mean..you don't have too."

"Yes. Please." You gasped without a second's thought, knowing your alpha would keep you safe.

"Okay." Jake smiled, "Then you will."

"Okay wonderful," The doctor said happily, "Well in that case I just have some paperwork for you to sign and you're free to go."

"Okay, I have my shirts, some blankets, hot water bottle, water, snacks, a couple new stuffies, we've got the fan if you get too hot, the heater if you get too cold, the TV if you get bored." Jake reeled off nervously, looking around the secure hotel room while you sat back on the bed, watching him with a smile tugging at your lips, "Shit is that everything..."

"Jake." You called out.

"Yeah?" He sighed, placing his hands on his hips as he continued cataloguing the items he'd prepared for you.

"You need to relax." You chuffed.

"I'm sorry." He said, exhaling a breath before finally looking back at you, body softening at the sight of your smile, "I just...I want everything to be perfect for you, I wanna make sure you have everything you could possibly need so you're comfortable and happy."

"You've done more for me in the last day than anyone else has my whole life." You responded shyly.

"I would do anything for you." Jake replied without skipping a breath, like it was the most obvious statement in the world, while tears pooled in your eyes, "And I'm sorry no one else did."

"It's not your fault." You sniffed, swiping your tears away with your fingers.

"Well I'm here now." He said crossing the space, sitting on the edge of the bed and placing his hand in yours, "You're my mate, I'll always take care of you."

You lept forward, throwing your arms around his neck and settling yourself in his lap. You buried your head against his soft shirt, inhaling his soothing scent with a content hum.

Jake's eyes widened in surprise but he quickly recovered, wrapping his arms around your waist and holding you against him whilst savouring how right it felt to have you there.

You pulled your head back, looking deep into Jake's eyes, seeing nothing but care, admiration and something soft and deeper. Everything about him screamed safety and you could already feel your stomach tightening at the mere sight of him.

Jake's throat bobbed as he gazed back at you, palms twitching against your waist like he was holding himself back.

"Can I...can I kiss you?" He whispered softly, "Is that okay?"

You mewled deep in your throat at the request, breath caught in your lungs.

"Please." You gasped.

He breached the gap calmly, gently pressing his lips to yours and sighing into the kiss, pressing your body tightly against his chest. A quiet whimper broke from your throat at the feel of his plush lips on yours and you clutched your arms tightly around his neck.

Your lips began working against eachother slowly, soft flesh parting as you swallowed eachothers gasps before his tongue carefully slid into your mouth.

You let out a low hum as you finally got a proper taste of him, minty and fresh and so perfect. You pressed your tongue against his, grinding down in his lap as the kiss became hungrier and you felt slick leak into your panties.

"Mmm baby..." Jake mumbled against your lips, before pulling back with a pant, "Your heats starting."

"How do you know?" You asked breathlessly, eyes wide and face flushed from your make out session.

"I can smell it, fuck." Jake groaned in a low tone, "Maybe I shouldn't be here, I don't know if I'll be able to control myself. You smell so good already."

His arms began to slip from around you, attempting to let you up so he could give you space.

"So don't." You breathed, holding him tighter so he wouldn't let you go .

"Okay," He sighed with a sullen nod, "I'll go but you call me if you need any..."

"Jake, I meant don't control yourself." You smiled softly at his misinterpretation, "I want you to be here, I want to do this together."

"Fuck, are you sure?" He gasped, eyes searching your own for any sign of nerves or hesitance, for any sign that you weren't truly ready to be his.

"I am." You replied confidently.

"Okay." Jake grinned, "Then we're doing this."

An hour later you were laid back on the bed as painful cramps tore through your stomach in relentless waves.

You were surrounded by Jake's scent, his shirts lying around you like a protective barrier, while the man himself paced back and forth at the end of the bed like he was holding onto the last of his self restraint.

"Oh god. It hurts so bad." You whined, writhing around while sweat pooled on your brow.

"It's okay baby I got you." Jake said softly, despite the tick in his jaw and his rock hard cock pressing into his shorts, "What do you need? More water? I can get you a cold towel or a..."

"Need you Jake." You pleaded up at him with wide, water filled eyes, "Please."

"Fuck. Yes. Okay." He muttered, tearing his clothes from his body before they could glue themselves to his skin and he thudded over to the bed, "I'm coming. I'll look after you."

He crawled into bed next to you, cock pressing hard and weeping against your thigh. His lips crazed the skin of your neck while his fingertips brushed along your thigh, gently tickling over your slick clit.

The small contact alone had a breath of relief leaving your lungs and you bucked your hips up to get more.

"Does that feel okay?" He whispered against your neck.

"More Jake, need more." You whined desperately, bucking your hips again.

"Okay I got you baby." Jake said with a smirk at your desperation, "Here you go."

He slipped two fingers over your pussy lips before pushing them straight into your core, while you let out a satisfied groan, releasing more slick over his knuckles.

"Oh god." You groaned, back arching to chase the pleasure.

"There we go, that feel better baby?" Jake purred as he worked his fingers in and out of you, "You're sucking my fingers all the way up in there."

"Mmm so good." You moaned, loving the way he scissored his fingers inside of you, getting you ready to take his cock.

You'd never felt anything like it, never enjoyed sex, never got slick, never felt pleasure, you just did it to keep Grant happy. Now you understood what you'd been missing as Jake drove you towards the edge of an abyss you were desperate to disappear into.

Jake slipped another finger into your core, watching with darkened eyes and his mouth agape as you gushed around his hand, submitting to the pleasure only he could give you.

"Alpha." You gasped and Jake groaned deep in his throat, cock leaking over your thigh.

"What is it omega?" He purred lowly, "Tell me what you need."

"Need your knot alpha, please." You whined impatiently.

Jake's last shred of restraint snapped and his fingers left you the second the words left your lips.

He hovered over you, arms braced either side of your head and looking down at you like a man who'd been starved for years and you were the first morsel of food he'd seen.

"Last chance to back out baby, if you want me to stop." He offered with a ragged breath.

"Please alpha." You whimpered with a pout.

He surged down onto you, slipping his tongue straight into your throat as you gasped and he rutted his cock against your folds, nudging your clit.

You moaned against him, feeling his lips curve up into a smile.

When the head of his cock pushed through your folds, your lips parted from each other's while you let out a loud groan at the stretch, the girth of him like nothing you'd ever felt but so perfect.

"Fuck 'mega." He mumbled, burying his face in the crook of your neck and taking your hps in his strong palms.

With a few incredibly sensational thrusts, he buried himself inside of you, letting out a satisfied breath of relief when his cock was fully seated inside your wet cavern.

You could only mewl, whimper and moan as he began a fast pace with his hips, pistoning himself inside of you and slamming against your cervix.

"Gonna fill you up 'mega, gonna take my knot so good." He groaned into your skin.

Every slam of his hips sent you closer and closer to the edge, bliss just a stones throw away. You threw your arms around his back, clinging onto him like you were afraid to let go of the one thing keeping you anchored to earth.

"Gonna mate you 'mega, gonna claim you." Jake continued in a lust fueled rant, as he too was overtaken by the sexual bliss your cunt was providing him.

"Please alpha." You whined, "Wanna be yours."

Jake's head snapped back, staring you directly in the eyes as his breath left his lungs.

"You really want that?" He gasped almost shyly, despite currently dominating every part of you.

"Yeah," You breathed back, "I want too Jake, I wanna be yours."

"Oh fuck." He groaned happily, shoving his face back into your neck as he rutted harder and faster before, knot beginning to swell inside of you, stretching you in the way only he could.

A few moments later, you let out a cry of pleasure, when Jake's teeth grazed against your mating gland, before sinking in slowly.

Your cunt pulsed at the sensation, body filling with his essence, with everything that was him, his safety, his care, his strength, his love.

Your coil snapped and your pussy clamped down on his cock as the blissful high washed over your body.

Jake's cock twitched in response, knot full and locking inside you as he reached his own orgasm and began filling you with ropes and ropes of warm alpha come.

Electricity zipped through your spine, brain fuzzing and ears warming as your orgasm rushed through you, eliminating all of the pain you had been experiencing not long before.

When it washed over you, you slumped back against the mattress, panting heavily, eyes glazed with happiness.

Jake released your skin from his teeth, carefully lapping up the small pool of blood before placing a tender kiss against your mating gland.

His cock stayed nestled inside you, locking you together while he continued to fill you with his seed.

"You okay?" He whispered, placing a palm along your jaw softly.

"More than okay." You smiled, "Better than I've ever been."

"I've got eyes on target, moving south." Jake said, looking through the high tech, thermal binoculars as he laid flat on the ground at the edge of the mountain top, looking down at the town below.

"Stay on him." Clay ordered, "We need to see where he's going."

"No problem bo..." Jake began before his nostrils flared and his cock twitched in his pants, body flooding with something he couldn't put a name on, as the most amazing smell filled the air around him, "Oh shit."

"What is it?" Clay asked with concern, stomping across the space between him and Jake.

"What is that?" Jake rasped, dropping the binoculars from his face and taking another deep inhale of the sweet scent.

"What's what?" Clay responded with a raised brow.

"You can't smell that?" Jake breathed, getting up to his feet, sniffing the air around him, "It's incredible. Smells like...oh god...smells like...mate..."

"What?" Clay gasped as Jake continued sniffing the air over the edge of the cliff. "Are you serious?"

Jake couldn't stop breathing the scent in, desperate to follow it, desperate to find his mate, like his instincts were talking for him.

"Jake?" Clay yelled, snapping Jake's attention back to him, as Pooch, Aisha and Cougar ran over to see what was going on.

"Shit, the target?" Jake fumbled, quickly grasping at the binoculars on the floor, realising he'd completely lost track of his mission.

"Forget about the target!" Clay ordered, brows and lips raised in amusement, "Did you say mate? Did you. Jake Jensen. Absolute loser and failure with women. Just say that you smell your mate?"

"Uhh ..yeah I did." Jake said shyly, scratching at the back of his neck, "I think."

The team shared surprised glances between each other while Jake rocked on his feet nervously.

"You think?" Clay responded.

"I mean yeah I can smell someone strong." He shrugged, "Smells like cherries, vanilla, makes me wanna go home, but that home is wherever that smell is. Is that...normal?"

"Well shit Jensen!" Clay exclaimed with a grin, clapping Jake on the shoulder and shaking him as Jake smiled with a blush.

"Congratulations man!" Pooch cheered, whilst Cougar offered Jake a nod of his head.

"New mission fellas," Clay announced, "We're gonna go find Jakey boys mate."

"But..the target..." Jake argued feebly.

"The target can wait! Need to find your mate before she smells you and realises you're a loser. " Clay teased, ruffling Jakes hair, while he batted him away.

"Ha. Funny." Jake deadpanned, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Just kidding buddy, I'm happy for ya." Clay said sincerely before looking at the other losers and clapping his hands together loudly, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Jensen's omega."

The group whooped and cheered as they made quick work of packing up their gear, ready to start a new mission. A mission that would lead to you.

"This way." Jake ordered desperately, hanging his head out of the passenger side window, sniffing the air frantically while Pooch drove, "Shit she's close."

They pulled into a small culdesac, idling along slowly as Jake scented the area. As they pulled up beside one of the large houses, his body stiffened, filled with anticipation and want.

"This is it." He rasped nervously, "This house. Shes here."

Pooch pulled along the curb and Jake jumped out, followed by Clay and Aisha, while the other two watched on from the truck.

They stopped at the gate and Jake's hand stilled on the white picket fence,

"Fuck. Do I look okay?" He rambled, "Do I smell okay? What do I say?"

"He's losing it." Clay smirked in amusement.

"Move out of the way." Aisha scolded, nudging Clay back so she could place a comforting hand on Jake's arm as he looked longingly at your front door. "Hey, Jake?"

"Yeah." He grumbled.

"Calm down okay." Aisha coaxed softly, "You're gonna do great, she's your mate, she's gonna love you. Just be yourself."

"Right. Myself." Jake mumbled to himself, "I can do that. Sure. Here goes nothing."

He pushed the gate open while Clay and Aisha watched on proudly from the opening like adoring parents.

His hands shook and his heartbeat quickened the closer he got to the door, your scent luring him in like a siren.

His fist raised and he shook his head, scolding himself for being so nervous. He was an alpha, he could do this, he'd told himself.

The knock vibrated through the door and Jake waited with bated breath as he heard the sounds of small feet scampering along wooden floors, before the latch clicked.

Meanwhile you had been restless all day, your neck had been throbbing right over the spot where mating glands appear and you felt like lightning had shot through your whole body, like it knew something was coming.

When the door rattled later on that day, your body stilled, eyes widening in fear before a soothing smell permeated the air.

As you inhaled your breath hitched and your throat tightened, a tear slipping over your cheek as the smell of old wood and spice called out to you, mate.

You knew you shouldn't move closer, you knew you should turn around and walk away, but you couldn't stop your feet as they pattered towards the wooden door, towards home.

You shakily pulled on the lock, and opened the door, eyes falling onto the most beautiful man you'd ever seen in your life. From his blond tips and goatee down to his board shorts and flip flops. Everything about him was just.. right, but nothing was ever that simple.

"Hello can I help you?" You squeaked nervously, tamping down the desperate urge to jump into the alphas arms.

"Hi, uhh I'm Jake. Jensen. Jake Jensen." Jake rambled, scratching the back of his neck nervously, as his whole body flooded with warmth at the sound of your voice and the sight of your beauty, "Shit. Sorry I'm nervous. You're beautiful. Fuck."

"Let her talk Jake!" Clay yelled from the gateway and Jake let out a nervous huff of laughter while you watched on with a lump in your throat.

"Sorry. Hi." He repeated shyly, lips curving up into a gorgeous welcoming smile.

"Hi. I don't..." You breathed nervously, suddenly aware of the open street and the rules you'd broken, "You can't be here."

"What?" Jake almost whimpered in dejection from those few words alone.

"You need to leave." You rasped desperately, "Now."

"But..I'm..and you're...I..." Jake mumbled as his eyes narrowed and the smile slipped from his face.

"He'll be home soon, if he smells you..." You pleaded, holding back the tears that threatened to fall, "Please...I can't do this...I have to go."

You slammed the door quickly, quickly closing the lock.

"Well shit." Jake huffed before stomping down the path with his head lowered.

"What happened?" Clay asked, worry painting his face.

"She told me to leave." Jake muttered.

"What?" Aisha gasped in shock, following behind him as he made his way back to the van.

"Yeah. I dunno." He muttered shakily, "She seemed scared. Could smell it on her."

"Scared of you?" Clay queried with a raised brow.

"I dunno. But I don't think I wanna give up." Jake sighed, "Sorry. I know that sounds stupid."

"Not stupid Jake." Aisha comforted.

"They got a hotel round here?" Clay asked, directing his attention to Pooch and Cougar.

"Two blocks away, four rooms, already on it." Pooch confirmed, not even glancing up from the phone in his hand as he typed away.

"Thanks guys." Jake smiled sadly.

"No problem," Clay replied, placing a comforting hand on Jake's shoulder, "We'll figure it out."

You collapsed against the back of the door, breath heaving and heart hammering. You had just seen your mate. Yours. But how?

You'd always been told you wouldn't have one. You were broken, not complete, a worthless omega.

You'd spent your teen life watching from the sidelines as your peers went through puberty, experiencing their first ruts and heats with excitement as they finally found out their designations.

Meanwhile, you were carted around to different doctors by your alpha mother and beta father, having test after test to find out what was wrong.

The results were conclusive, you would never have a heat, you would never get your mating glands, you could never bare pups. Although it had been obvious from your anatomy and profile that you should have presented as omega, it's like your body just stopped there, like it gave up and didn't provide you with anything else, you didn't even have a smell, so how this alpha found you you didn't know.

Your mother and father abandoned you soon after, a broken omega wasn't what they'd dreamt of, didn't fit into your mother's picture perfect life, so at the age of 18, you were on your own.

Now here you were at almost 30 and you were more confused than ever. Why would fate give you a mate only for you to never be good enough, for you to not be able to do what an omega should do for their alpha. The thought alone had your neck pulsing and throbbing once more as you sobbed against the door.

"Honey!" Grant called as he stepped over the threshold of your home.

You quickly tucked the bleach into the cupboard, hoping all your frantic cleaning had been enough to dampen the overwhelming smell of the alpha that had been near your home, despite wanting to soak in his scent.

"Hey, you're home." You smiled feebly as he crossed into the kitchen, his nose wrinkled and a scowl on his face.

"What the fuck is that smell?" He snarled angrily as he crossed the space, wrinkles forming over his hairless head as he continued to scrunch up his face in disgust.

"What smell?" You said anxiously, playing with your shaky hands behind your back as your heart rate accelerated, "I don't smell anything."

"Don't play fucking dumb with me bitch, I smell another alpha." He yelled, stomping over to you and taking your arm in his fist, "You had a man in here?"

"No. I promise I haven't." You began to plead, "There was a guy, he knocked on the door that's it, I sent him away I promise."

"Do you realise how lucky you are that I chose you?" Grant snarled, nose touching yours as he bore down on you, "That I felt sorry for your broken ass and took you in anyway."

"I do." You whimpered, "I know."

You did know how lucky you were. He found you a few years ago and decided to date you despite your flaws, claiming he never wanted kids or the annoying link that came with a mating bond.

He'd had his own bad luck after his own mate rejected him and it felt like fate that you'd met each other at the time.

When his true colours started to show, you made constant excuses for his behaviour blaming yourself for not being good enough, though he made sure to remind you at every opportunity that you were correct and you were lucky to have him.

You'd moved in quickly, after only six months of dating, convinced that he was your only chance, you never imagined that one day you would have a mate of your own, one whom you already felt drawn too, like he could protect you and keep you safe from everyone and everything, including the man now leaving bruises on your arm and frothing at the mouth in temper.

"So why are you lying to me?" He growled, saliva spitting from his mouth, landing on your face.

"I'm not I swear I would never..." You whimpered

His free hand raised, thwacking through the air as his knuckles connected to your cheek with a thud. If it wasn't for his hold on you, you would have probably ended up on the floor.

"Lying fucking bitch!" He yelled while tears began pooling in your eyes and your cheek throbbed, "His smell is all over you!"

"I didn't..I..." You stammered as a lump travelled up your throat, trying desperately to plead your innocence. You knew you never should have opened that door, he didn't like when you did.

"Shut up!" He commanded.

Your jaw snapped shut, body going rigid and tears streaming down your face from the alpha command.

"Better." He growled, "Now get your ass up stairs and present for your alpha. I'm gonna show you just what happens when you let another alpha touch you."

On the other side of town, Jake was pacing back and forth in the hotel bar while most of his teammates sat with their drinks of choice.

"Something's wrong." He muttered, hands gripping his hips, "Clay. Something's wrong. I can feel it. I don't know how but I can."

"Calm down Jensen." Clay responded from his seat, "What do you mean something's wrong?"

Jake shook his head at the ground, feet still moving of their own accord as his body filled with a horrible feeling that he couldn't understand, he just knew he needed to get to you.

"I don't know," He sighed, "I just feel it. She's hurting. She's scared."

"Cougar is on lookout, he'd report if something happened, last we heard she was still at home." Clay attempted to reassure him.

Jake stilled in front of Clay, eyes widened in fear, "I'm telling you clay, something's wrong. We gotta get over there."

"Just...hang on..." Clay ordered softly, pulling his phone from his pocket and quickly pressing it to his ear, "Cougar, do you have eyes on the target?"

"Still at home, no change." Cougar confirmed through the phone.

"See, she's home." Clay sighed at Jake, pressing his lips in a flat line.

"Clay. Please?" Jake pleaded, watching as Clay's resolve snapped and his need to help his teammate and friend took over.

"Fuck fine. Okay." He said with a nod, jumping from his seat before turning to Aisha and Pooch, "Stay here. It's probably nothing. The two of us will go and Cougar will watch our six."

They responded with nods as Jake muttered impatiently to himself, "Okay. Okay. Let's go."

"Jensen. Calm down." Clay said softly, placing his hand on Jake's shoulder as they made their way to the exit of the hotel.

"Calm down." Jake mumbled anxiously, "Right. Yup. On it."

You were curled in a ball on the bed, naked and covered in bruises from the hits you'd taken. Your pussy was sore and leaking with cum while your whole body shook from the fear.

Grant was stood at the end of the bed, tucking his shirt back into his pants with a proud smile on his face whenever he glanced back at your quivering form.

Suddenly your mating gland spot began throbbing again and you jumped when a loud knock resonated from downstairs.

Grant tutted in disapproval before sending a warning snarl your way and heading out of the room.

The knock sounded again and Grant threw the door open, eyes falling on Jake and Clay who stood in the doorway, Clay's hands tucked into his trousers while Jake looked around nervously.

"What do you want?" He snapped, eyes narrowing on the two while his nostrils flared, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hello sir my name is Clay." Clay replied calmly with a smile on his face, "Me and my friend here are new to the neighbourhood and just wanted to introduce ourselves, right Jake?"

"Right, yeah." Jake muttered, glancing behind Grant into the house.

Grant inhaled, eyes zeroing in on Jake as his fists clenched.

"You!" He yelled, pointing a finger in the other alphas face, "You were here earlier!"

"Uhh...well I mean..." Jake stuttered nervously, looking over at Clay for support, as he tried to work out how to play the scenario out.

"You the one sniffing near my woman?" Grant snarled.

"Your woman?" Jake said back with an underbite of something possessive and angry at the new information.

"Yeah, my fucking woman!" Grant continued.

"Well funny story," Clay chuffed, "Jensen here is actually her mate, so if you don't mind we'd just like to talk to her, check she's okay."

"Mate?" Grant snorted in amusement, "She can't have a mate."

"What do you mean?" Jake replied in confusion.

"Ha!" Grant laughed loudly, "You think you're gonna come here and find some perfect omega to take away and cherish? Sorry to disappoint you but she's a mess, she's broken, incomplete."

Jake's fists began to clench, body tightening as Grant spoke so unkindly about his mate, the woman he already couldn't stop thinking about.

"No mating glands, no smell, never had a heat." Grant continued with a smirk, "She's useless. Can't even do what an omega should. She's lucky I took pity on her ass."

"Stop." Jake muttered before narrowing his eyes on Grant and deepening his tone, "Stop talking about her like that."

"What? You defending her already?" Grant scoffed, "Trust me when you know how pathetic she is you won't want her either."

You whimpered in pain on the bed as your body began to convulse. Pain seared through your bones, neck throbbing and body weakening, something was wrong, something more than just the bruises you'd been left with.

"What the fuck? Is she okay?" Jake yelled, hearing your cries from the upstairs of the home, "Let me see her!"

He attempted to step inside the door, only to be pushed back by the other alpha harshly.

"Stay the fuck out of my house. She's fine." Grant sneered, "Just got taught a lesson about letting other alphas near her."

"You fucking asshole!" Jake yelled angrily, instincts going haywire that his mate needed him, that he needed to protect her.

There was no warning before the first crack of Jake's fist landed across Grant's jaw, forcing him to stumble back into the home.

Grant let out an angry snarl before launching himself back at the other man, punching him in the stomach. Jake retaliated in kind, unleashing his fists onto the other man as he continued to try and gain access to the house.

You heard the commotion between the waves of nausea and dizziness, slowly making your way to the stairs where your eyes fell on the scene of the brawl on the lower floor.

"Grant." You whimpered.

All of a sudden, three sets of eyes snapped to you, bodies stilling as they watched your body turn white.

"Something's wrong." You whispered before you collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Your eyes flickered open, pain throbbing through your core and a dull ache on your neck. When they focused, you looked around the sterile room as your heart hammered in fear, confusion filling your mind as you recalled being at home and now you were somewhere else entirely.

You looked to the side, suddenly noticing a figure sitting on a chair a couple of feet away, blonde hair running through thick fingers while his elbows rested on his knees.

You cleared your throat dryly and Jake's head raised, eyes snapping to yours and relief washing through his body.

"Hey, you're awake." He said as the tension dropped from his shoulders.

He quickly shuffled his chair closer to the bed and took your hand in his, pleased when you didn't try to shrug him off.

You felt the roughness of his hands against your own and a blush rose up your chest.

"What happened?" You rasped, "Where's Grant?"

"Far away from here if he knows what's good for him." Jake scoffed with a furrow in his brow, as his thumb rubbed gently over your knuckles.

"What do you mean?" You whimpered in confusion.

"Sweetheart....Shit sorry." He mumbled to himself before turning to you with a serious expression, "But listen. You're my mate, mine. I'm not gonna stand by and watch that man beat you to death. I had to get rid of him, to keep you safe. You're mine and I want you, if you'll have me."

"You don't understand." You sniffed as a tear fell onto your cheek, "I'm not.. I'm not right."

As much as you wanted to be free from Grant, to fall into the arms of this alpha who looked at you like you hung the moon, you knew he didn't understand how wrong he was about you, you weren't right for him.

"I know about your problems." He admitted and your eyes widened in surprise, mouth dropping open as he continued, "I know and I don't care. I want you and I'll never treat you like that. I promise."

You felt a sob rip through your chest. Could you really be with your mate, could he really look past everything and take you as you were, could you be free?

"Okay..." You whispered shyly.

"Okay?" Jake repeated, lips curling up into a grin.

You nodded, blush spreading across your cheeks before your brows furrowed once more, mind racing over everything that had happened.

"How...how did you find me?" You asked curiously.

"Smelt you a mile away." Jake grinned, "I knew right then I had to find you."

"You...you smelt me..." You gasped in surprise, "But I..I don't..."

The door to your room swung open and a short beta man in a white coat walked in, clipboard in hand and a friendly smile on his face.

"Good morning, you're awake, fantastic." The doctor beamed as he crossed the space, stopping in front of the bed.

Jake's hand clutched supportively on your hand as you both looked up at the doctor with worry placing your brows.

"We found the cause of the collapse." He began, "Thankfully none of your injuries are life threatening, just bruising."

"So what happened?" You rasped nervously.

"Your body was flooded with hormones, it overtook your whole system and it was a lot to take at once." He replied, flicking the paper on the clipboard with a hum.

You only grew more confused at what the doctor was saying.

"Hormones? I don't..." You mumbled.

"Yep." The doctor smiled, "I looked over your file. Seems your last doctor was wrong, you are a perfectly healthy omega, just a late bloomer it seems. Something must have happened because it's all kicking in at once."

Jake gaped at the doctor wide eyed, flicking back to your confused expression.

"Kicking in?" You replied with a squirm.

"Yep, your glands have come in," He nodded, pointing to your neck, "Practically overnight and you are in the early stages of your first heat."

"What? Heat?" You panicked suddenly, completely overwhelmed and confused, "But I can't...I don't..."

"Doctor. I think..maybe this is a bit overwhelming..." Jake interrupted, squeezing your hand in his once more, immediately helping to calm you, "Could you slow it down a bit?"

"Right of course." The doctor sighed with a caring smile, "Has anything changed recently in your life? Anything big?"

You looked back at Jake, heart warming at just the mere sight of him and swallowed thickly.

"I'm her mate." Jake nodded, "We just met."

"That'll do it." The doctor chuckled, "It seems that the introduction of your mate has triggered your hormones to finally do what they are supposed to do."

It couldn't be could it? All you needed all this time was Jake.

"Really?" You squeaked.

"Yes, your glands are now fully formed and you are in the first stage of coming into heat." The doctor repeated more clearly and slowly this time.

"I'm not...broken?" You whispered, feeling Jake's hand clutch tightly around yours.

"You're a perfectly healthy omega and your body is doing all the things it should." The doctor said softly.

You let out a whimper as tears began to trickle down your cheeks, but not from fear, for the first time in so long, there were tears of real joy.

"Do you have somewhere safe you can go to make it through your heat?" The doctor asked and your gaze snapped to his.

"I...I don't.." You panicked, remembering that your home wasn't your home anymore.

"You can stay with me." Jake offered shyly, "If you want. I mean..you don't have too."

"Yes. Please." You gasped without a second's thought, knowing your alpha would keep you safe.

"Okay." Jake smiled, "Then you will."

"Okay wonderful," The doctor said happily, "Well in that case I just have some paperwork for you to sign and you're free to go."

"Okay, I have my shirts, some blankets, hot water bottle, water, snacks, a couple new stuffies, we've got the fan if you get too hot, the heater if you get too cold, the TV if you get bored." Jake reeled off nervously, looking around the secure hotel room while you sat back on the bed, watching him with a smile tugging at your lips, "Shit is that everything..."

"Jake." You called out.

"Yeah?" He sighed, placing his hands on his hips as he continued cataloguing the items he'd prepared for you.

"You need to relax." You chuffed.

"I'm sorry." He said, exhaling a breath before finally looking back at you, body softening at the sight of your smile, "I just...I want everything to be perfect for you, I wanna make sure you have everything you could possibly need so you're comfortable and happy."

"You've done more for me in the last day than anyone else has my whole life." You responded shyly.

"I would do anything for you." Jake replied without skipping a breath, like it was the most obvious statement in the world, while tears pooled in your eyes, "And I'm sorry no one else did."

"It's not your fault." You sniffed, swiping your tears away with your fingers.

"Well I'm here now." He said crossing the space, sitting on the edge of the bed and placing his hand in yours, "You're my mate, I'll always take care of you."

You lept forward, throwing your arms around his neck and settling yourself in his lap. You buried your head against his soft shirt, inhaling his soothing scent with a content hum.

Jake's eyes widened in surprise but he quickly recovered, wrapping his arms around your waist and holding you against him whilst savouring how right it felt to have you there.

You pulled your head back, looking deep into Jake's eyes, seeing nothing but care, admiration and something soft and deeper. Everything about him screamed safety and you could already feel your stomach tightening at the mere sight of him.

Jake's throat bobbed as he gazed back at you, palms twitching against your waist like he was holding himself back.

"Can I...can I kiss you?" He whispered softly, "Is that okay?"

You mewled deep in your throat at the request, breath caught in your lungs.

"Please." You gasped.

He breached the gap calmly, gently pressing his lips to yours and sighing into the kiss, pressing your body tightly against his chest. A quiet whimper broke from your throat at the feel of his plush lips on yours and you clutched your arms tightly around his neck.

Your lips began working against eachother slowly, soft flesh parting as you swallowed eachothers gasps before his tongue carefully slid into your mouth.

You let out a low hum as you finally got a proper taste of him, minty and fresh and so perfect. You pressed your tongue against his, grinding down in his lap as the kiss became hungrier and you felt slick leak into your panties.

"Mmm baby..." Jake mumbled against your lips, before pulling back with a pant, "Your heats starting."

"How do you know?" You asked breathlessly, eyes wide and face flushed from your make out session.

"I can smell it, fuck." Jake groaned in a low tone, "Maybe I shouldn't be here, I don't know if I'll be able to control myself. You smell so good already."

His arms began to slip from around you, attempting to let you up so he could give you space.

"So don't." You breathed, holding him tighter so he wouldn't let you go .

"Okay," He sighed with a sullen nod, "I'll go but you call me if you need any..."

"Jake, I meant don't control yourself." You smiled softly at his misinterpretation, "I want you to be here, I want to do this together."

"Fuck, are you sure?" He gasped, eyes searching your own for any sign of nerves or hesitance, for any sign that you weren't truly ready to be his.

"I am." You replied confidently.

"Okay." Jake grinned, "Then we're doing this."

An hour later you were laid back on the bed as painful cramps tore through your stomach in relentless waves.

You were surrounded by Jake's scent, his shirts lying around you like a protective barrier, while the man himself paced back and forth at the end of the bed like he was holding onto the last of his self restraint.

"Oh god. It hurts so bad." You whined, writhing around while sweat pooled on your brow.

"It's okay baby I got you." Jake said softly, despite the tick in his jaw and his rock hard cock pressing into his shorts, "What do you need? More water? I can get you a cold towel or a..."

"Need you Jake." You pleaded up at him with wide, water filled eyes, "Please."

"Fuck. Yes. Okay." He muttered, tearing his clothes from his body before they could glue themselves to his skin and he thudded over to the bed, "I'm coming. I'll look after you."

He crawled into bed next to you, cock pressing hard and weeping against your thigh. His lips crazed the skin of your neck while his fingertips brushed along your thigh, gently tickling over your slick clit.

The small contact alone had a breath of relief leaving your lungs and you bucked your hips up to get more.

"Does that feel okay?" He whispered against your neck.

"More Jake, need more." You whined desperately, bucking your hips again.

"Okay I got you baby." Jake said with a smirk at your desperation, "Here you go."

He slipped two fingers over your pussy lips before pushing them straight into your core, while you let out a satisfied groan, releasing more slick over his knuckles.

"Oh god." You groaned, back arching to chase the pleasure.

"There we go, that feel better baby?" Jake purred as he worked his fingers in and out of you, "You're sucking my fingers all the way up in there."

"Mmm so good." You moaned, loving the way he scissored his fingers inside of you, getting you ready to take his cock.

You'd never felt anything like it, never enjoyed sex, never got slick, never felt pleasure, you just did it to keep Grant happy. Now you understood what you'd been missing as Jake drove you towards the edge of an abyss you were desperate to disappear into.

Jake slipped another finger into your core, watching with darkened eyes and his mouth agape as you gushed around his hand, submitting to the pleasure only he could give you.

"Alpha." You gasped and Jake groaned deep in his throat, cock leaking over your thigh.

"What is it omega?" He purred lowly, "Tell me what you need."

"Need your knot alpha, please." You whined impatiently.

Jake's last shred of restraint snapped and his fingers left you the second the words left your lips.

He hovered over you, arms braced either side of your head and looking down at you like a man who'd been starved for years and you were the first morsel of food he'd seen.

"Last chance to back out baby, if you want me to stop." He offered with a ragged breath.

"Please alpha." You whimpered with a pout.

He surged down onto you, slipping his tongue straight into your throat as you gasped and he rutted his cock against your folds, nudging your clit.

You moaned against him, feeling his lips curve up into a smile.

When the head of his cock pushed through your folds, your lips parted from each other's while you let out a loud groan at the stretch, the girth of him like nothing you'd ever felt but so perfect.

"Fuck 'mega." He mumbled, burying his face in the crook of your neck and taking your hps in his strong palms.

With a few incredibly sensational thrusts, he buried himself inside of you, letting out a satisfied breath of relief when his cock was fully seated inside your wet cavern.

You could only mewl, whimper and moan as he began a fast pace with his hips, pistoning himself inside of you and slamming against your cervix.

"Gonna fill you up 'mega, gonna take my knot so good." He groaned into your skin.

Every slam of his hips sent you closer and closer to the edge, bliss just a stones throw away. You threw your arms around his back, clinging onto him like you were afraid to let go of the one thing keeping you anchored to earth.

"Gonna mate you 'mega, gonna claim you." Jake continued in a lust fueled rant, as he too was overtaken by the sexual bliss your cunt was providing him.

"Please alpha." You whined, "Wanna be yours."

Jake's head snapped back, staring you directly in the eyes as his breath left his lungs.

"You really want that?" He gasped almost shyly, despite currently dominating every part of you.

"Yeah," You breathed back, "I want too Jake, I wanna be yours."

"Oh fuck." He groaned happily, shoving his face back into your neck as he rutted harder and faster before, knot beginning to swell inside of you, stretching you in the way only he could.

A few moments later, you let out a cry of pleasure, when Jake's teeth grazed against your mating gland, before sinking in slowly.

Your cunt pulsed at the sensation, body filling with his essence, with everything that was him, his safety, his care, his strength, his love.

Your coil snapped and your pussy clamped down on his cock as the blissful high washed over your body.

Jake's cock twitched in response, knot full and locking inside you as he reached his own orgasm and began filling you with ropes and ropes of warm alpha come.

Electricity zipped through your spine, brain fuzzing and ears warming as your orgasm rushed through you, eliminating all of the pain you had been experiencing not long before.

When it washed over you, you slumped back against the mattress, panting heavily, eyes glazed with happiness.

Jake released your skin from his teeth, carefully lapping up the small pool of blood before placing a tender kiss against your mating gland.

His cock stayed nestled inside you, locking you together while he continued to fill you with his seed.

"You okay?" He whispered, placing a palm along your jaw softly.

"More than okay." You smiled, "Better than I've ever been."

"I've got eyes on target, moving south." Jake said, looking through the high tech, thermal binoculars as he laid flat on the ground at the edge of the mountain top, looking down at the town below.

"Stay on him." Clay ordered, "We need to see where he's going."

"No problem bo..." Jake began before his nostrils flared and his cock twitched in his pants, body flooding with something he couldn't put a name on, as the most amazing smell filled the air around him, "Oh shit."

"What is it?" Clay asked with concern, stomping across the space between him and Jake.

"What is that?" Jake rasped, dropping the binoculars from his face and taking another deep inhale of the sweet scent.

"What's what?" Clay responded with a raised brow.

"You can't smell that?" Jake breathed, getting up to his feet, sniffing the air around him, "It's incredible. Smells like...oh god...smells like...mate..."

"What?" Clay gasped as Jake continued sniffing the air over the edge of the cliff. "Are you serious?"

Jake couldn't stop breathing the scent in, desperate to follow it, desperate to find his mate, like his instincts were talking for him.

"Jake?" Clay yelled, snapping Jake's attention back to him, as Pooch, Aisha and Cougar ran over to see what was going on.

"Shit, the target?" Jake fumbled, quickly grasping at the binoculars on the floor, realising he'd completely lost track of his mission.

"Forget about the target!" Clay ordered, brows and lips raised in amusement, "Did you say mate? Did you. Jake Jensen. Absolute loser and failure with women. Just say that you smell your mate?"

"Uhh ..yeah I did." Jake said shyly, scratching at the back of his neck, "I think."

The team shared surprised glances between each other while Jake rocked on his feet nervously.

"You think?" Clay responded.

"I mean yeah I can smell someone strong." He shrugged, "Smells like cherries, vanilla, makes me wanna go home, but that home is wherever that smell is. Is that...normal?"

"Well shit Jensen!" Clay exclaimed with a grin, clapping Jake on the shoulder and shaking him as Jake smiled with a blush.

"Congratulations man!" Pooch cheered, whilst Cougar offered Jake a nod of his head.

"New mission fellas," Clay announced, "We're gonna go find Jakey boys mate."

"But..the target..." Jake argued feebly.

"The target can wait! Need to find your mate before she smells you and realises you're a loser. " Clay teased, ruffling Jakes hair, while he batted him away.

"Ha. Funny." Jake deadpanned, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Just kidding buddy, I'm happy for ya." Clay said sincerely before looking at the other losers and clapping his hands together loudly, "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Jensen's omega."

The group whooped and cheered as they made quick work of packing up their gear, ready to start a new mission. A mission that would lead to you.

"This way." Jake ordered desperately, hanging his head out of the passenger side window, sniffing the air frantically while Pooch drove, "Shit she's close."

They pulled into a small culdesac, idling along slowly as Jake scented the area. As they pulled up beside one of the large houses, his body stiffened, filled with anticipation and want.

"This is it." He rasped nervously, "This house. Shes here."

Pooch pulled along the curb and Jake jumped out, followed by Clay and Aisha, while the other two watched on from the truck.

They stopped at the gate and Jake's hand stilled on the white picket fence,

"Fuck. Do I look okay?" He rambled, "Do I smell okay? What do I say?"

"He's losing it." Clay smirked in amusement.

"Move out of the way." Aisha scolded, nudging Clay back so she could place a comforting hand on Jake's arm as he looked longingly at your front door. "Hey, Jake?"

"Yeah." He grumbled.

"Calm down okay." Aisha coaxed softly, "You're gonna do great, she's your mate, she's gonna love you. Just be yourself."

"Right. Myself." Jake mumbled to himself, "I can do that. Sure. Here goes nothing."

He pushed the gate open while Clay and Aisha watched on proudly from the opening like adoring parents.

His hands shook and his heartbeat quickened the closer he got to the door, your scent luring him in like a siren.

His fist raised and he shook his head, scolding himself for being so nervous. He was an alpha, he could do this, he'd told himself.

The knock vibrated through the door and Jake waited with bated breath as he heard the sounds of small feet scampering along wooden floors, before the latch clicked.

Meanwhile you had been restless all day, your neck had been throbbing right over the spot where mating glands appear and you felt like lightning had shot through your whole body, like it knew something was coming.

When the door rattled later on that day, your body stilled, eyes widening in fear before a soothing smell permeated the air.

As you inhaled your breath hitched and your throat tightened, a tear slipping over your cheek as the smell of old wood and spice called out to you, mate.

You knew you shouldn't move closer, you knew you should turn around and walk away, but you couldn't stop your feet as they pattered towards the wooden door, towards home.

You shakily pulled on the lock, and opened the door, eyes falling onto the most beautiful man you'd ever seen in your life. From his blond tips and goatee down to his board shorts and flip flops. Everything about him was just.. right, but nothing was ever that simple.

"Hello can I help you?" You squeaked nervously, tamping down the desperate urge to jump into the alphas arms.

"Hi, uhh I'm Jake. Jensen. Jake Jensen." Jake rambled, scratching the back of his neck nervously, as his whole body flooded with warmth at the sound of your voice and the sight of your beauty, "Shit. Sorry I'm nervous. You're beautiful. Fuck."

"Let her talk Jake!" Clay yelled from the gateway and Jake let out a nervous huff of laughter while you watched on with a lump in your throat.

"Sorry. Hi." He repeated shyly, lips curving up into a gorgeous welcoming smile.

"Hi. I don't..." You breathed nervously, suddenly aware of the open street and the rules you'd broken, "You can't be here."

"What?" Jake almost whimpered in dejection from those few words alone.

"You need to leave." You rasped desperately, "Now."

"But..I'm..and you're...I..." Jake mumbled as his eyes narrowed and the smile slipped from his face.

"He'll be home soon, if he smells you..." You pleaded, holding back the tears that threatened to fall, "Please...I can't do this...I have to go."

You slammed the door quickly, quickly closing the lock.

"Well shit." Jake huffed before stomping down the path with his head lowered.

"What happened?" Clay asked, worry painting his face.

"She told me to leave." Jake muttered.

"What?" Aisha gasped in shock, following behind him as he made his way back to the van.

"Yeah. I dunno." He muttered shakily, "She seemed scared. Could smell it on her."

"Scared of you?" Clay queried with a raised brow.

"I dunno. But I don't think I wanna give up." Jake sighed, "Sorry. I know that sounds stupid."

"Not stupid Jake." Aisha comforted.

"They got a hotel round here?" Clay asked, directing his attention to Pooch and Cougar.

"Two blocks away, four rooms, already on it." Pooch confirmed, not even glancing up from the phone in his hand as he typed away.

"Thanks guys." Jake smiled sadly.

"No problem," Clay replied, placing a comforting hand on Jake's shoulder, "We'll figure it out."

You collapsed against the back of the door, breath heaving and heart hammering. You had just seen your mate. Yours. But how?

You'd always been told you wouldn't have one. You were broken, not complete, a worthless omega.

You'd spent your teen life watching from the sidelines as your peers went through puberty, experiencing their first ruts and heats with excitement as they finally found out their designations.

Meanwhile, you were carted around to different doctors by your alpha mother and beta father, having test after test to find out what was wrong.

The results were conclusive, you would never have a heat, you would never get your mating glands, you could never bare pups. Although it had been obvious from your anatomy and profile that you should have presented as omega, it's like your body just stopped there, like it gave up and didn't provide you with anything else, you didn't even have a smell, so how this alpha found you you didn't know.

Your mother and father abandoned you soon after, a broken omega wasn't what they'd dreamt of, didn't fit into your mother's picture perfect life, so at the age of 18, you were on your own.

Now here you were at almost 30 and you were more confused than ever. Why would fate give you a mate only for you to never be good enough, for you to not be able to do what an omega should do for their alpha. The thought alone had your neck pulsing and throbbing once more as you sobbed against the door.

"Honey!" Grant called as he stepped over the threshold of your home.

You quickly tucked the bleach into the cupboard, hoping all your frantic cleaning had been enough to dampen the overwhelming smell of the alpha that had been near your home, despite wanting to soak in his scent.

"Hey, you're home." You smiled feebly as he crossed into the kitchen, his nose wrinkled and a scowl on his face.

"What the fuck is that smell?" He snarled angrily as he crossed the space, wrinkles forming over his hairless head as he continued to scrunch up his face in disgust.

"What smell?" You said anxiously, playing with your shaky hands behind your back as your heart rate accelerated, "I don't smell anything."

"Don't play fucking dumb with me bitch, I smell another alpha." He yelled, stomping over to you and taking your arm in his fist, "You had a man in here?"

"No. I promise I haven't." You began to plead, "There was a guy, he knocked on the door that's it, I sent him away I promise."

"Do you realise how lucky you are that I chose you?" Grant snarled, nose touching yours as he bore down on you, "That I felt sorry for your broken ass and took you in anyway."

"I do." You whimpered, "I know."

You did know how lucky you were. He found you a few years ago and decided to date you despite your flaws, claiming he never wanted kids or the annoying link that came with a mating bond.

He'd had his own bad luck after his own mate rejected him and it felt like fate that you'd met each other at the time.

When his true colours started to show, you made constant excuses for his behaviour blaming yourself for not being good enough, though he made sure to remind you at every opportunity that you were correct and you were lucky to have him.

You'd moved in quickly, after only six months of dating, convinced that he was your only chance, you never imagined that one day you would have a mate of your own, one whom you already felt drawn too, like he could protect you and keep you safe from everyone and everything, including the man now leaving bruises on your arm and frothing at the mouth in temper.

"So why are you lying to me?" He growled, saliva spitting from his mouth, landing on your face.

"I'm not I swear I would never..." You whimpered

His free hand raised, thwacking through the air as his knuckles connected to your cheek with a thud. If it wasn't for his hold on you, you would have probably ended up on the floor.

"Lying fucking bitch!" He yelled while tears began pooling in your eyes and your cheek throbbed, "His smell is all over you!"

"I didn't..I..." You stammered as a lump travelled up your throat, trying desperately to plead your innocence. You knew you never should have opened that door, he didn't like when you did.

"Shut up!" He commanded.

Your jaw snapped shut, body going rigid and tears streaming down your face from the alpha command.

"Better." He growled, "Now get your ass up stairs and present for your alpha. I'm gonna show you just what happens when you let another alpha touch you."

On the other side of town, Jake was pacing back and forth in the hotel bar while most of his teammates sat with their drinks of choice.

"Something's wrong." He muttered, hands gripping his hips, "Clay. Something's wrong. I can feel it. I don't know how but I can."

"Calm down Jensen." Clay responded from his seat, "What do you mean something's wrong?"

Jake shook his head at the ground, feet still moving of their own accord as his body filled with a horrible feeling that he couldn't understand, he just knew he needed to get to you.

"I don't know," He sighed, "I just feel it. She's hurting. She's scared."

"Cougar is on lookout, he'd report if something happened, last we heard she was still at home." Clay attempted to reassure him.

Jake stilled in front of Clay, eyes widened in fear, "I'm telling you clay, something's wrong. We gotta get over there."

"Just...hang on..." Clay ordered softly, pulling his phone from his pocket and quickly pressing it to his ear, "Cougar, do you have eyes on the target?"

"Still at home, no change." Cougar confirmed through the phone.

"See, she's home." Clay sighed at Jake, pressing his lips in a flat line.

"Clay. Please?" Jake pleaded, watching as Clay's resolve snapped and his need to help his teammate and friend took over.

"Fuck fine. Okay." He said with a nod, jumping from his seat before turning to Aisha and Pooch, "Stay here. It's probably nothing. The two of us will go and Cougar will watch our six."

They responded with nods as Jake muttered impatiently to himself, "Okay. Okay. Let's go."

"Jensen. Calm down." Clay said softly, placing his hand on Jake's shoulder as they made their way to the exit of the hotel.

"Calm down." Jake mumbled anxiously, "Right. Yup. On it."

You were curled in a ball on the bed, naked and covered in bruises from the hits you'd taken. Your pussy was sore and leaking with cum while your whole body shook from the fear.

Grant was stood at the end of the bed, tucking his shirt back into his pants with a proud smile on his face whenever he glanced back at your quivering form.

Suddenly your mating gland spot began throbbing again and you jumped when a loud knock resonated from downstairs.

Grant tutted in disapproval before sending a warning snarl your way and heading out of the room.

The knock sounded again and Grant threw the door open, eyes falling on Jake and Clay who stood in the doorway, Clay's hands tucked into his trousers while Jake looked around nervously.

"What do you want?" He snapped, eyes narrowing on the two while his nostrils flared, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hello sir my name is Clay." Clay replied calmly with a smile on his face, "Me and my friend here are new to the neighbourhood and just wanted to introduce ourselves, right Jake?"

"Right, yeah." Jake muttered, glancing behind Grant into the house.

Grant inhaled, eyes zeroing in on Jake as his fists clenched.

"You!" He yelled, pointing a finger in the other alphas face, "You were here earlier!"

"Uhh...well I mean..." Jake stuttered nervously, looking over at Clay for support, as he tried to work out how to play the scenario out.

"You the one sniffing near my woman?" Grant snarled.

"Your woman?" Jake said back with an underbite of something possessive and angry at the new information.

"Yeah, my fucking woman!" Grant continued.

"Well funny story," Clay chuffed, "Jensen here is actually her mate, so if you don't mind we'd just like to talk to her, check she's okay."

"Mate?" Grant snorted in amusement, "She can't have a mate."

"What do you mean?" Jake replied in confusion.

"Ha!" Grant laughed loudly, "You think you're gonna come here and find some perfect omega to take away and cherish? Sorry to disappoint you but she's a mess, she's broken, incomplete."

Jake's fists began to clench, body tightening as Grant spoke so unkindly about his mate, the woman he already couldn't stop thinking about.

"No mating glands, no smell, never had a heat." Grant continued with a smirk, "She's useless. Can't even do what an omega should. She's lucky I took pity on her ass."

"Stop." Jake muttered before narrowing his eyes on Grant and deepening his tone, "Stop talking about her like that."

"What? You defending her already?" Grant scoffed, "Trust me when you know how pathetic she is you won't want her either."

You whimpered in pain on the bed as your body began to convulse. Pain seared through your bones, neck throbbing and body weakening, something was wrong, something more than just the bruises you'd been left with.

"What the fuck? Is she okay?" Jake yelled, hearing your cries from the upstairs of the home, "Let me see her!"

He attempted to step inside the door, only to be pushed back by the other alpha harshly.

"Stay the fuck out of my house. She's fine." Grant sneered, "Just got taught a lesson about letting other alphas near her."

"You fucking asshole!" Jake yelled angrily, instincts going haywire that his mate needed him, that he needed to protect her.

There was no warning before the first crack of Jake's fist landed across Grant's jaw, forcing him to stumble back into the home.

Grant let out an angry snarl before launching himself back at the other man, punching him in the stomach. Jake retaliated in kind, unleashing his fists onto the other man as he continued to try and gain access to the house.

You heard the commotion between the waves of nausea and dizziness, slowly making your way to the stairs where your eyes fell on the scene of the brawl on the lower floor.

"Grant." You whimpered.

All of a sudden, three sets of eyes snapped to you, bodies stilling as they watched your body turn white.

"Something's wrong." You whispered before you collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Your eyes flickered open, pain throbbing through your core and a dull ache on your neck. When they focused, you looked around the sterile room as your heart hammered in fear, confusion filling your mind as you recalled being at home and now you were somewhere else entirely.

You looked to the side, suddenly noticing a figure sitting on a chair a couple of feet away, blonde hair running through thick fingers while his elbows rested on his knees.

You cleared your throat dryly and Jake's head raised, eyes snapping to yours and relief washing through his body.

"Hey, you're awake." He said as the tension dropped from his shoulders.

He quickly shuffled his chair closer to the bed and took your hand in his, pleased when you didn't try to shrug him off.

You felt the roughness of his hands against your own and a blush rose up your chest.

"What happened?" You rasped, "Where's Grant?"

"Far away from here if he knows what's good for him." Jake scoffed with a furrow in his brow, as his thumb rubbed gently over your knuckles.

"What do you mean?" You whimpered in confusion.

"Sweetheart....Shit sorry." He mumbled to himself before turning to you with a serious expression, "But listen. You're my mate, mine. I'm not gonna stand by and watch that man beat you to death. I had to get rid of him, to keep you safe. You're mine and I want you, if you'll have me."

"You don't understand." You sniffed as a tear fell onto your cheek, "I'm not.. I'm not right."

As much as you wanted to be free from Grant, to fall into the arms of this alpha who looked at you like you hung the moon, you knew he didn't understand how wrong he was about you, you weren't right for him.

"I know about your problems." He admitted and your eyes widened in surprise, mouth dropping open as he continued, "I know and I don't care. I want you and I'll never treat you like that. I promise."

You felt a sob rip through your chest. Could you really be with your mate, could he really look past everything and take you as you were, could you be free?

"Okay..." You whispered shyly.

"Okay?" Jake repeated, lips curling up into a grin.

You nodded, blush spreading across your cheeks before your brows furrowed once more, mind racing over everything that had happened.

"How...how did you find me?" You asked curiously.

"Smelt you a mile away." Jake grinned, "I knew right then I had to find you."

"You...you smelt me..." You gasped in surprise, "But I..I don't..."

The door to your room swung open and a short beta man in a white coat walked in, clipboard in hand and a friendly smile on his face.

"Good morning, you're awake, fantastic." The doctor beamed as he crossed the space, stopping in front of the bed.

Jake's hand clutched supportively on your hand as you both looked up at the doctor with worry placing your brows.

"We found the cause of the collapse." He began, "Thankfully none of your injuries are life threatening, just bruising."

"So what happened?" You rasped nervously.

"Your body was flooded with hormones, it overtook your whole system and it was a lot to take at once." He replied, flicking the paper on the clipboard with a hum.

You only grew more confused at what the doctor was saying.

"Hormones? I don't..." You mumbled.

"Yep." The doctor smiled, "I looked over your file. Seems your last doctor was wrong, you are a perfectly healthy omega, just a late bloomer it seems. Something must have happened because it's all kicking in at once."

Jake gaped at the doctor wide eyed, flicking back to your confused expression.

"Kicking in?" You replied with a squirm.

"Yep, your glands have come in," He nodded, pointing to your neck, "Practically overnight and you are in the early stages of your first heat."

"What? Heat?" You panicked suddenly, completely overwhelmed and confused, "But I can't...I don't..."

"Doctor. I think..maybe this is a bit overwhelming..." Jake interrupted, squeezing your hand in his once more, immediately helping to calm you, "Could you slow it down a bit?"

"Right of course." The doctor sighed with a caring smile, "Has anything changed recently in your life? Anything big?"

You looked back at Jake, heart warming at just the mere sight of him and swallowed thickly.

"I'm her mate." Jake nodded, "We just met."

"That'll do it." The doctor chuckled, "It seems that the introduction of your mate has triggered your hormones to finally do what they are supposed to do."

It couldn't be could it? All you needed all this time was Jake.

"Really?" You squeaked.

"Yes, your glands are now fully formed and you are in the first stage of coming into heat." The doctor repeated more clearly and slowly this time.

"I'm not...broken?" You whispered, feeling Jake's hand clutch tightly around yours.

"You're a perfectly healthy omega and your body is doing all the things it should." The doctor said softly.

You let out a whimper as tears began to trickle down your cheeks, but not from fear, for the first time in so long, there were tears of real joy.

"Do you have somewhere safe you can go to make it through your heat?" The doctor asked and your gaze snapped to his.

"I...I don't.." You panicked, remembering that your home wasn't your home anymore.

"You can stay with me." Jake offered shyly, "If you want. I mean..you don't have too."

"Yes. Please." You gasped without a second's thought, knowing your alpha would keep you safe.

"Okay." Jake smiled, "Then you will."

"Okay wonderful," The doctor said happily, "Well in that case I just have some paperwork for you to sign and you're free to go."

"Okay, I have my shirts, some blankets, hot water bottle, water, snacks, a couple new stuffies, we've got the fan if you get too hot, the heater if you get too cold, the TV if you get bored." Jake reeled off nervously, looking around the secure hotel room while you sat back on the bed, watching him with a smile tugging at your lips, "Shit is that everything..."

"Jake." You called out.

"Yeah?" He sighed, placing his hands on his hips as he continued cataloguing the items he'd prepared for you.

"You need to relax." You chuffed.

"I'm sorry." He said, exhaling a breath before finally looking back at you, body softening at the sight of your smile, "I just...I want everything to be perfect for you, I wanna make sure you have everything you could possibly need so you're comfortable and happy."

"You've done more for me in the last day than anyone else has my whole life." You responded shyly.
