Late in life
Alpha!Bard x reader
Warnings: Very ABO, heats, first time, age gap, fantasy fighting/gore, comfort, knots, intimacy, swearing
Side note: fathers can help their omega children in heats at young ages, by comforting them, bringing them food or reading to them, in a way you would care for a sick child, it is nothing sexual, a warm heat this is known as I think.
Another side note: they’re not his kids xD
The battle was won, but not with the pain off loss. So many had died, too many, the Durin line finished and laid to rest under the mountain where they belonged. The gold returned to those who were promised, the starlight jewels returned to the elves in Mirkwood and the city of Lake-town on the rebuild.
You looked to your burnt house, the villages returned after the battle, seeing what remained of their homes. You stood in the broken doorway, everything was black with ash. Gulping you took one step in, the wood protesting as you walked around. You looked to the bottom of the stairs, two body’s, embracing each other in their last moments. Tears rolled down your eyes, you had gone to visit an old herbalist outside of town before you saw the smoke and flames. You followed where the villagers went, searched and searched before you fell to your knees and cried.
A familiar face had comforted you before he led the people to safety. Your heart was broken, sitting in the pit of your stomach.
You knelt slowly reaching out with a shaky hand to touch the ashes.
“Don’t” you jumped when a voice spoke. You glanced to Bard who stood in the doorway, a grim look on his face. You stood looking back to your parents before quickly going outside. You looked to the sky, smokey grey all around, no blue in sight.
You looked back to the ground and watched the droplets of your tears fall. The man behind you placed a hand on your shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.
You sobbed turning and going to him, you rested against his chest as his arms went around you. He hushed you gently one hand on your back the other stroking your hair.
“Let’s get back” he said and all you did was nod.
Back at the old city ruins, people had set up small camps, removing the bodies, cleaning the blood. You went back to your little camp area, Bard wanted you with him and his children, but you made sure you were seperate and only near. Bard had been good friends to your parents, when his wife died you watched the man crumble before picking himself up, but never filling that ache. You heart ached too, the need to comfort the alpha was strong, maybe because he was the only one who spoke to you. The others in the villages were either old or disgusting excuses for men.
You were late in presenting, you were 17 when it happened, but you didn’t have a heat, your mother took you to the old herbalist a few times but he couldn’t do anything. You felt broken almost, maybe you were meant to be a beta? Your father was a beta and your mother was an omega.
You sat down on your bedroll by the small fire you had going, you pulled out some old bread and ate it slowly. It wasn’t nice, but it was food.
The sun feel quickly, the moon rising high, you closed the door, placing a piece of wood over it to bar the door.
You sniffed out the fire and laid on your bedroll. You tossed and turned for bit before finally settling and falling asleep.
You awoke with a jolt, you blinked in confusion as your mind slowly woke up. You sighed opening your eyes fully and stared at the wall. You kicked off your blanket, feeling yourself covered in sweat, you peeled off most your clothes except your under gown and rolled to the other side. The fire was out fully thankfully, but it still held warmth making you grumble and sit up.
Your head spun though, hand going up to hold it as you closed your eyes. You laid back down feeling like you might be sick as your stomach churned. You needed to move away from the fire though, everything was too hot here. You rolled onto the cold stone and sighed a bit before tugging your blanket to you and using it as a pillow.
Your lower stomach clenched and released in painful cramps, you curled in on yourself looking around for your canteen. You figured the bread was highly disagreeing with you but you felt different to normal sickness. Your whole body felt like jelly, you couldn’t stop sweating nor could you ignore the wetness between your legs. Your mind froze as you remembered what your mother told you about the first time. You felt horrid, wanting to throw up even more that you had to deal with this alone, without the comfort of your mother or bedroom. You held a hand to your mouth as you sobbed quietly, you slowly sat up and leant against the stone wall. You began to panic, you didn’t know what to do, how to handle this on your own.
“Omega” you froze at the unknown voice outside, you held your breath not daring to let out the whimpers on your tongue. Your legs shook along with your body as you heard a gross snicker. Whoever was on the outside must’ve smelt your heat.
“Open up!” He yelled anger clear in his voice as he pounded on your door. You couldn’t breathe, chest tightening, as the man began to ran the door. The door was old, along with the piece of wood, the wood began to crack at his intensity before it stopped. You heard pained grunts and fists smacking against flesh.
“Go home!” your body shuddered as you heard Bard speak, whoever the man was scrambled away obviously hurt now.
You let your hand fall and panted loudly as you caught your breath.
“Y/n?” He called knocking gently as you shook your head furiously even though he couldn’t see him.
“Go away!” You managed going to your feet to grab your canteen. You cursed fumbling over your blanket, you took a big drink before stumbling to the old trunk. You tried to push it in front of the door but fell to your knees with a sob. You pounded your fist against the hard wood letting out a cry.
“Y/n, let me in” he said and you glared at the door.
“I can help you, I helped Sigrid when her first heat hit” you sighed, she was only young when that happened, unable to understand fully what was going on in her body.
“I am not young” you said.
“This is different, I’m sure your daughter will tell you that!” You didn’t mean to sound snappy but you didn’t want the comforts of a father figure, you weren’t a child.
“I’ll bring you some fresh food and water” he said apparently not listening.
You struggled with the chest more before giving up again and sitting against the cold wall. You destroyed your fire with your boot, trying to stop the heat coming from it.
A knock came again and you sighed waiting for the alpha to speak.
“I’ve got some food and water, a couple of blankets also” he said and you huffed.
“Bard” you said.
“This isn’t a first time young heat” you stated.
“I know” he said voice dropping lower.
“My brain is foggy I am covered in sweat“ you hung your head and cried.
“Just go away” you begged.
“I’ll leave the food and water by the door ok?” You didn’t answer and he sighed but left.
You managed to lift yourself up, open the door and grab the food. Your legs were jelly though as you tried to put the wood plank back. You cried in annoyance at how weak your body felt. You leant your head against the door gripping the canteen in your hand too tightly.
You sensed he was there, the soft shuffling of his feet.
“Y/n” he muttered softly and you closed your eyes.
“Let me help you” he whispered and you cursed him softly.
“You can curse me all you want sweetheart, but you’re not alone” his voice was so smooth to you, sweet like honey. You could smell his scent faintly through the door and sighed. You sat back on your knees, you opened the latch lock and pushed the door open. The alpha had taken a step back to let the door swing open before his eyes landed on you. You kept your eyes on the floor kneeling in front of him.
He moved slowly, like you’d skit away like a cat being scared. He knelt in front of you gently grabbing your hair and moving it out of your face. He tied it up, slightly leaning over you before he knelt back down. His hands cupped your cheeks, gently stroking as you finally lifted your head to look at him.
You felt more tears again and pushed your body up to wrap your arms around him. You felt him relax and sigh as he buried his head into your neck. You held onto him tightly while his arms went around you. One went under your butt and he lifted you to him while he stood. You gripped him tightly, legs going around his waist as he walked inside and turned to close the door. He locked the latch before going to sit down against the back wall. He kept you in his lap, let you bury your head into his neck while you took in his scent.
You stayed like that for a while, your body calming down, mind slowing and processing a little better. You nudged your nose against his neck every now and then a small noise escaping your lips without meaning too. You flushed a bit and froze, but he didn’t say anything. You pressed yourself closer without thinking, apparently not close enough, his hands were resting on your back, one gently moving up and down. You let out a huff of annoyance again and lifted your head to rest it on his shoulder instead. The alpha chuckled softly and nuzzled into your neck, his scent was calming and safe. You weren’t really sure when your hips started moving, but you ground down slightly, his hand stopped moving and he tensed. You stopped moving also apologising softly as you tried to control yourself. Your head was hazy, signals going everywhere, body itching to move. His breath was warm against your neck as he moved slightly, you didn’t dare move as his lips pressed against your neck.
Your whole body shuddered in delight his arm going tightly around, griping your under gown. He was gentle, gently pressing his lips to different spots on your neck before nipping your earlobe softly. You jumped a bit pulling back and sitting up so you could see his face.
You stared into his eyes, swirling and almost black in the night. Your head drifted closer without you realising, his eyes looking to yours than your lips. You slumped a bit but he got the hint and kissed you finally. You arched into him, moaning in response. Your arms held him tightly his hand gripping your hip as you began to grind on him again. You weren’t coordinated, didn’t know what to do, chasing whatever felt right in the moment.
“Easy” he muttered against your lips when he pulled back, you whined a bit in response.
“Listen to me” he said softly cupping your face.
“Do you want this?” You frowned at his words, were you not clear enough, you went to kiss him again but he leant back making you sigh.
“Words sweetheart” he whispered and you let out a small huff.
“Yes” you managed not trusting your voice very much.
“Please” you begged softly as you gripped the front of his coat.
“I’ve always-“ you sighed fiddling with his buttons.
“Always?” He pressed softly letting his hands fall to your hips.
“You had a mate and kids, kids-“ you froze at your words and he sighed.
“They’re not mine” he muttered and you frowned.
“My mate - went off with another man, more than once” he sighed and you blinked in confusion.
“Then she got sick, confessed, I couldn’t be mad though, I was never around nor could I have them, the other man never appeared or came for them, so I lied” your heart fell as he looked vulnerable. You wrapped your arms around him tightly, his head nuzzled back into your neck as he sighed.
Your mind went fuzzy again, you tried to blink it away but sighed as his hands slid up your back. He managed to pull your night gown up, his hands going back to down to grab the hem. You moved so your arms were lifted in the air, he lifted the clothing up and off making you shiver.
You flushed a bit lifting your shaky hands to his shirt buttons. You cursed your hands as his finally replaced yours and helped. He lifted his top half off the stone, shrugging off his coat and shirt before leaning back. You touched without thinking, resting your hands on his chest. You flushed furiously and apologised as you removed your hands. The alpha chuckled and leant up to kiss you softly.
“You can touch” his hands grabbed yours and rested them back on his chest. You gulped a little bit moved your hands up to his shoulders slowly, down his arms before going back up. You touched his neck before cupping his cheek with one hand. His eyes closed and leant into your palm making your heart flutter.
Your cheeks were probably red, your body felt like it was still on fire but you didn’t want to rush. Your body needed something though, the pain getting stronger, his comfort wearing off.
“Bard” you muttered his eyes opening again. He kissed you quickly, arms holding your sides as he laid you on the blankets nearby.
His lips left yours making you whine a bit before the pressed against your neck. You held the blanket tightly underneath you in your hand as he kissed down your chest before reaching your hips. You looked away flushing furiously as he hooked your legs over his shoulder and kissed down your thighs. He bit down gently on your inner thigh making you gasp and look to him. He smirked slightly before leaning down to your heat. You placed your hand over your mouth as his breath fanned and his tongue slipped between your folds. You held back your noises the best you could, body shaking as he held your hips down and lapped at your heat.
Your back kept arching as he sucked gently occasionally before his tongue began prodding at your entrance. You heard him growl softly, the sound making you shiver as he shuffled a bit. You watched him kick his boots off, still eating you out. He slowed his movements before lifting his head which made you whine, you glanced to him a light sheen covering his mouth and chin as he moved your legs off his shoulders and crawled back up your body. You couldn’t look him in the eye, embarrassment clear on your face no doubt as you trembled. He sat back on his heels, his hands going to the string on his pants. You sat up on your elbows when he moved before your gaze fell to his movements. He leant back over you capturing your lips as you laid back down properly. You heard shuffling as he kicked off his pants and pressed his body to yours. You let out a gasp into the kiss, his tongue going to your mouth as he tangled with yours. Your hands gripped his biceps, you could feel how hard he was between your bodies, his hips slowly moving to rub himself against you. You pulled back to breathe, panting loudly as your vision blurred a bit. You felt him leave gentle kisses along your jaw and neck, letting you catch your breath.
“Sorry” you muttered.
“Don’t ever be sorry” he said panting also.
“I didn’t mean to push you” he said voice raspy.
“You didn’t” you muttered pressing your lips to his again softly. One of his hands made your legs spread a little wider, his hand going over your mound before inserting two fingers in you. You gasped again as he dipped his head to kiss his neck as he slowly moved his fingers in and out. The feeling was a little strange but pleasant, a comfortable sting as he would spread his fingers out slightly before pressing them back together.
His teeth scraped along your neck before sucking down on one spot. You shuddered at the feeling, a bruise no doubt going to be there later. His fingers slowly left you making you whine softly before his tip pressed to your entrance. You panicked a little as he leant up too look at you.
“You’re ok” he whispered kissing you softly. You closed your eyes and moaned gently arms wrapped around his neck before you felt him press in. You pulled back from the kiss as he hushed you gently.
“You’re ok” he repeated softly pressing small kisses over your face while hushing you as he inched in. You closed your eyes the feeling odd and a little uncomfortable.
“You’re doing great” he encouraged as you held him tightly. You felt his hips meet yours and you let out a breath you didn’t realise you were holding.
“Good girl” he praised and your heart jumped. You moved your hips in test, the alpha above you groaned into your neck lowly. You swelled with pride a bit slowly moving your hips as he finally bit down on your neck gently on warning. He moved this time, hips move back before sliding in. You groaned this time fingers digging into his biceps as he set a slow pace.
Your mind was clouded, all you could think of was the feel of him slipping on and out, the soft groans from him reaching your ears like music. You wrapped your arms around him tightly as he slowly began to sped up, his thrusts going harder like he was loosing his control. His arm snaked under your lower back, lifting your hips slightly as he thrusted in hard.
You groaned holding on tightly as he kept his hips snapping into yours. He held you tightly, panting in your neck before his hand slid between your bodies. You moaned when his fingers began to circle your sensitive bundle, your back arched, eyes sealed shut as your stomach clenched.
You came with a soft cry, body trembling as you heard him groan softly in your ear and speed up. He kept rubbing circles on your clit, your body was overstimulated as he brought you to another climax and joined. You groaned when he came too, his hips stuttering . He mouthed around your neck teeth gently scraping sometimes like he wanted to claim you. His knot settled inside of you the arm under your waist helping him lift you into his lap. You groan, your head falling onto his shoulder as he sits back against the stone wall. You sink a little deeper onto his cock, a soft whine escaping your lips as you nose his neck. You mouth along his neck now gently scraping your teeth over it. You bit down gently this time and he hisses slightly as he bucks his hips up in warning. You let out a broken moan at that and let go apologising quietly.
Your eyes a heavy as is your body, your heart has calmed down though as has your heat, but it’ll start again. You cling to Bard without thinking and he wraps an arm tightly around your waste.
“I’m not going anywhere” he whispered still a little breathless. You nod again breathing in his scent as you close your eyes.
“I’ve got you” he whispered.
