Chapter 37
Alex sat awaiting a call, her stomach turning at Cat's words. "She is going to have to die. It's the only way to save her." It rattled around in her head as Sam held her.
"Alex." Sam whispered, holding her sore left arm at the inside of her elbow.
"No." Alex shook her head, unable to accept the plan she had already consented to.
"Alex!" Sam was more authoritative this time, almost demanding her mate's attention.
"No Sam!" Alex trembled.
"Do you see another way?" Alex brushed her hands along Alex's shoulders and down her arms.
"N… No!" Alex's hands fidgeted, ticking and twitching angrily. "But that doesn't mean I like it!"
"But it is the only way. Don't you remember we had jack squat as far as saving her."
"I don't care!" Alex pushed Sam away as she began to cry.
"Alex!" Sam closed her arms over her chest where Alex pushed her.
"I! I can't! I can't accept this!"
"Alex you already did!" Sam reminded.
"I don't care!" Alex yelled back.
"Alex calm down!"
"How! My baby sister is going to die and it's my fault!"
"You know that this isn't going to be the end." Sam offered as consultation.
"That doesn't make this ok!" Alex's voice rose once more.
"Stop!"
"Stop what!?" Alec snapped.
"Yelling. Ruby is still on the couch upstairs! You will wake her up!"
"Ruby." Alex whispered, her heart aching as she thought of Gayle, and what she threatened to do to the child.
"Al?"
"The… the vampires… they threatened you and Ruby." Alex admitted, knowing she couldn't ever hide it for long.
"Alex."
"When they did… I broke. I couldn't get myself together. I just stood there terrified. I couldn't handle the thought of being the reason you were hurt. Of being the reason Ruby was killed." Alex collapsed in fear.
Sam followed to the floor taking Alex into her arms.
Alex sobbed hard.
"Shhh. It's ok. I'm here. You are safe."
"I… couldn't protect you!"
"You don't need to." Sam kissed at Alex's cheek.
"Sam!"
"It's ok. Breathe. Nothing happened to us."
"Sam." Alex repeated.
"No. It is ok. We are all ok. And… I love you." Sam's hair brushed against Alex's face, the soft tickle helped to calm and center Alex.
"Sam." Alex softened, saying everything with her tone alone.
"I love you Alex Danvers. So don't you give up on me just cause some dead scaredy cats threatened something they would never be able to follow through on." Sam finished with a long kiss. Not particularly deep, however not shallow either as she comforted her mate.
"Baby!" Alex whispered breathless, tears dry.
"You are a good kisser too." Sam teased, already knowing what Alex was thinking.
"Yeah… But you aren't just good." Alex still couldn't find her breath.
"How about this… You and I go tuck in our favorite little girl, and then I'll give you all the kisses you want." Sam smiled and gave a quick peck.
"All the kisses I want?"
"Yup!" Sam giggled, her smile widening the only thing Alex could ever care to see for the rest of her life.
"Anywhere?" Alex Asked giddy.
Sam growled. "You will take them where I give them. But… I might be persuaded by suggestions."
"Love you too baby." Alex cooed.
"You are damn lucky you smell so good. And that you're so fucking sexy." Sam glared.
"Let's go tuck in our girl."
"She needs her mommies." Sam agreed.
Alex light up remember the sleepy angel in her lap calling her and Sam her mommies.
"You like that she called you that?" Sam brushed hair out of Alex's face, helping her up to her feet.
"I couldn't be happier… I love that fucking kid." Alex cheered.
"Yeah. She is pretty great huh?" Sam hugged her mate.
"She… the fact that she already sees me as that…"
"I'll be it, the pack helps a lot too. But… you've done more, worked hard enough and cared enough for her to earn it." Sam reasoned.
"Thanks baby. Now let's make sure she gets some sleep."
"Sounds good." Sam escorted Alex up the stairs to the living room where they found the serene face of the cub curled up on the couch, clearly cold as she shivered.
Sam went to pick her Ruby but was stopped by Alex's hand on her shoulder.
"I wanna carry her."
"Al! You have already exhausted yourself way too much." Sam growled gently.
"Please." Alex requested.
"Lucky I love you." Sam relented.
Alex scooped Ruby up into her arms, cradling the pup, kissing her forehead.
"I really like the sight of you holding our girl." Sam kissed Alex's cheek.
"Our girl?"
"Our girl." Sam confirmed, enjoying the delight that became of Alex's face.
Alex hummed happily, walking towards Ruby's bed. Sam pulled down the covers for Alex whose hands were full.
"Thanks baby." Alex nodded, placing Ruby down in the bed and then pulling the covers over her, tucking her in with another kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight sweetheart, sweet dreams, chase all the rabbits little pup." Alex whispered to Ruby.
Sam held Alex from behind. "I can not express how much I adore seeing you tuck her in and recite those words to her."
"Mhmm baby." Alex hummed into her mate's embrace.
"Now. Let's go to bed. And kisses."
"God that sounds heavenly." Alex purred, rushing to her bedroom with Sam.
"Lay down love."
Alex followed her mate's instructions. Removing her shirt and bra, then her
pants and panties.
"God that is so not fair." Sam complained.
"What?" Alex gave a devious grin as she spread her legs, tilting her hips up to reveal her damp core.
"You… you know I don't wanna exhaust you anymore."
"Then don't. Just help me relax." Alex suggested.
"I'm still gonna start with kisses." Sam fortified herself.
"I am yours." Alex offered. "Your omega."
A strong growl broke free from Sam's throat as she leaped onto Alex, attacking her with hungry kisses. Pushing Alex down into the bed Sam nipped at Alex's lower lip, pulling at it as Alex moaned out.
"Sam!" Alex cried out, holding to her mate's hips, craving to feel Sam's flesh against her own.
"Patience." Sam groaned, her body protesting as her core ached wet and demanding she press herself against Alex.
"Damnit, why do you have to be Soo!" Alex was silenced with another kiss. Sam's tongue probed at Alex's mouth. The perfect swift swipes Sam subjected Alex to sent her straight to subspace. A perfect delightful release of her mate on top of her, giving dominant kisses. The wolf's hot breath as she broke away only made Alex need her mate more. "Sam! Please!"
"Please what?"
"I need you. Please stop taunting me! My… my!" Alex looked away in embarrassment. "H… Hurts without my alpha. With your tongue, fingers, or body against it."
"Your what hurts?" Sam rejoiced in Alex's embarrassment, sure it was the most adorable thing she had ever seen that wasn't Ruby.
"Sam!" Alex's eyes pleading almost as much as her growing desperate whines.
"Ok. I'm sorry." Sam lowered her hips down, pressing her thigh again the slick folds of her mate, and laying her core against Alex's warm thigh.
Alex immediately began rocking her hips up and down, grinding her pussy against Sam, crying out as she did, her swollen labia overly sensitive. Her panting hastened, her face contorting in pleasure, breasts aching as she lifted her leg against Sam, already able to read the arousal from her mate. "Sam." Alex moaned out, her deep breaths taking her over as Sam moved along with her.
"Such a good girl for me." Sam's voice trembling, completely unaccustomed to feeling pleasure like this. Her life had become so busy ever since she had Ruby. Between managing her child as a single mother and one or more jobs, not to mention her newfound pack obligations Sam had not had the opportunity to attend to this primal need which was now demanding her attention without relief.
"That's it baby." Alex encouraged, her pulse racing with Samantha speeding up.
"I… haven't… in so… long." Sam panted, lowering her head to kiss at Alex's neck, hastily earning soft screams.
Alex had nothing left to fight with as Sam assaulted her neck, sucking and nibbling on her flesh. She desperately clawed at Sam's back, panting and begging. "God! Sam! More!"
"Yes!" Sam growled out between breathless moans.
They could both already feel each other growing closer, their slick cores making a mess of each other's thighs. They adored feeling the other's arousal against their flesh, the clear evidence of their wanting arousal; the evidence that they needed each other; the proof of their love.
"C...close!" Alex panted, holding Sam's head close to her neck and the wolf's tongue and teeth driving her further and further.
"H… h… hold it!"
"Sam!" Alex complained.
"I… wanna cum with you." Sam admitted, grinding her clit harder against Alex.
"Fuck! Yes please!" The idea was delightful, and only made holding back even harder on her.
"I love you, I love you, I lo-" Sam repeated, her voice giving tell that her climax was finally upon her.
"Cum with me baby. I… Oh god! I love you too." Alex cried out.
"Yes… yes! I'm cumming too!" Sam agreed. Something triggered suddenly, newfound instincts awakening with infinitely more power than her instincts normally had over her, causing her to bite down on Alex out of instinct alone. She didn't even realize she had done it until they had both finished cumming. Not only that but she wasn't quite sure why she had done it. The blood in her mouth felt just right, and even Alex could clearly be heard adoring it, her hands still pulling Samantha's head in harder to her neck.
"Sam! God! Yes!" Alex cheered her mate on, adoring the strong teeth that had broken her flesh.
Whether or not Sam had either knew and didn't want to acknowledge it or simply didn't know, the reason she bit her mate without notice was that she knew their bonding was not fully completed. Alex still was yet to bear her marking and hadn't even bitten her back yet. Sam's wolf raged against this truth as she tasted Alex's blood, wishing it would finalize their bond, and allow her mark to show on her mate's neck.
"S… Sam!" Alex panted, her orgasmic high fading and allowing the pain of her neck shining through now.
Sam released, knowing what Alex wanted. "I… I'm sorry." She offered between cleaning licks at Alex's neck.
"That… was… That was nice." Alex continued to hold Sam's head close, her neck sore, but having Sam lick on it still felt heavenly.
"Are you ok? I… I didn't mean to do that. Especially without permission."
"I know. It is ok. And… god, it was nice." Alex's breath shuttered at Sam soothing the sore bite.
"Good. I'm glad. Now, let's get you all patched up." Sam instructed, helping Alex to her feet.
Alex's legs almost immediately gave out as she stood.
"Damnit. Alex, you are getting weak again!"
"No, I just came again." Alex glared with the hint of a grin.
"I! Oh!" Sam chuckled and blushed.
"Yeah." Alex giggled back.
"Well, I'm not letting you walk like that." Sam grabbed Alex and scooped her up, casually grabbing her mate's ass as she held her.
Alex moaned at the firm hand on her bottom. "Wait! No! Put me down! I can walk!"
"Nope!"
"Sam! Come on!"
"No, I'm going to take care of my beautiful girl." Sam argued.
"I!" Alex wanted to protest more, but it was too perfect and too comfortable to stay there, cuddled up in her woman's arms. Alex sighed, resting her head into the crook of Sam's neck, giving in to the warmth of her mate.
"That's it." Sam struggled to open the bathroom door with the woman in her arms.
"Dear lord, you are so set on doing everything yourself aren't you?" Alex complained opening the door for Sam.
"Al! I… I just don't want you overworking yourself." Sam looked away, placing Alex down on the counter.
"It's ok baby." Alex offered with a kiss.
"Thanks baby." Sam looked down insecure, quickly suppressing her feelings of not being able to care well enough for her mate by searching for the materials she would need to care for Alex's new bite.
"So… Sam? You know… you know you are welcome to ask me to… pleasure you as well." Alex twitled her thumbs in awkwardness.
"What!?" Sam rifled through the cabinet under the bathroom sink, amazing she couldn't remember where she had left the gauze and wound cleaning solution from last time.
"You… well… we… we never focus on you. D… Don't get me wrong! I adore you… You, umm you know. Making me cum all the time. But we never focus on you. I'm pretty sure that was the first time you came since we got together." Alex explained herself.
"I! Well! I!" Sam went to defend.
"S… Sam?" Alex looked at her neck in the mirror, instantaneously forgetting the topic.
"Yeah. Well! I. I'm really not accustomed to… To being the focus, or being given pleasure like that." Sam rambled.
"Sam you are gonna want to see this!"
"Yes love, I'm grabbing the gauze." Sam brushed aside.
"No! Sam!"
"What is it babe?" Sam popped up, the mark catching her eyes, and bringing unfounded joy over her.
