2: Serendipity
Eliza went to check on Alex as she heard the poor girl vomiting once again. It had been clear last night that Alex would not be able to go to school, complaining about a pain in her abdomen, but by the morning, Eliza and Jeremiah both called out from work. They had expected Alex's rut, but this was something beyond that.
Alex was curled over the side of her bed, head tilted toward the literal bucket they left for her to throw up in. She had put it to use all morning. At this point, she was just throwing up stomach acid and water.
Alex was flushed red with a pasty undertone, almost like her skin had been mixed with guacamole, and sweat dripping from her chin. Her hair was stuck to her head, her shirt stuck to her skin, and a rough smell, like spicy broccoli wafted from her. A rut should not be like this, especially not after Alex started her suppressants. Something was wrong.
"Alex, I think we should take you to the doctor," Eliza said. She, Jeremiah, and Alex had educated themselves a great deal on alphas and ruts. What Alex was going through seemed particularly awful. It was like she had an illness of some kind.
It was taking all of Eliza's strength not to break down. She had seen Alex through some sicknesses, but this was so much more. Alex was so helpless and Eliza, her mother, could not do anything to make it better. Tears stung the back of Eliza's eyes all morning, but she could not cry, not while Alex was doing her best to keep herself together. Eliza had to do the same and see Alex through this mess.
"No… no… no…" Alex's words were slurred and her eyes were glassy with dark circles underneath. She had a fever earlier and it obviously had not broken yet. She raised her hand, like she wanted to gesture, but she could not hold her hand up. "I took… I took…" She shook her head and sweat slid down her face. "Suppressants. I took 'em!" She might as well be drunk from the way she spoke.
"I know you took them. They obviously didn't work," Eliza replied. She did not understand. Prescription grade suppressants should have been exactly what Alex needed to function normally during her rut.
"No. S'cool." Alex collapsed back to her bed. Her sheets were soaked, patches of sweat collected into one pool that probably meant they would have to throw the mattress out. There was no saving it. "Just gotta wait for the 'presents to work." She groaned and wrapped her arms around herself, shivering, like everything hurt.
This was bad and Alex kept insisting she just had to wait for the suppressants to kick in. That was not happening. Eliza exited the room and went to the phone. She wasted no time dialing Doctor Blue. The call was put through to the doctor immediately.
"Hi, this is Eliza Danvers." She wanted to pat herself on the back for sounding normal, even though her throat burned with worry.
"Is Alex okay?" Doctor Blue asked.
"Her rut came, but the suppressants aren't working. We suspected last night that her rut would be bad, but this is way more than that. She's been feverish all morning, throwing up, her speech is slurred, and she looks very sick." Eliza stepped into the living room. Jeremiah and Kara were there, pacing and worrying.
Doctor Blue sighed. "I was worried about that."
Eliza rubbed her forehead. "Should she take more suppressants?"
"No! That's dangerous. What are her symptoms again?"
"She's been throwing up and she's drenched with sweat. She's feverish, but I read that was to be expected during a rut. She's green."
Doctor Blue snorted. "Okay, this is rare, but it's because she's around her mate. It's rut sickness and it's easily cured, but you're not going to like it."
Eliza looked at Jeremiah and Kara, the lines on their faces. What sounded like an echo of a cough followed by a loud groan came from upstairs. Kara looked ready to run to Alex, even though they had already warned her away. They needed to do something or Kara would go up there and try to save Alex.
"Is that Doctor Blue?" Jeremiah asked. He gnawed on his thumbnail and they did not figure this out soon, he might gnaw his whole thumb off.
Eliza nodded and covered the phone. "She's about to tell me how we can help Alex, but she says I won't like it." She turned her attention back to the phone. "Tell me what to do. Alex looks like she's on the verge of death." Her stomach trembled just from saying it.
"Has she complained about pain?" Doctor Blue asked.
"She was, but now she's trying to put on a brave face and keeps insisting the suppressants just haven't kicked in yet. Should we go to the hospital?"
"No. Like I said, this sounds like rut sickness. Alex has already formed a mate bond and, well, her body wants her mate. Think of this as like an allergic reaction, but more from the lack of something."
"Her…" Eliza looked at Kara and then turned away to hiss at the doctor in somewhat private. "I more than don't like this idea, doctor. Are you seriously suggesting what it sounds like you're suggesting?"
"It's that or allow Alex to ride out the rut sickness. It won't kill her. You'll just be stuck with a miserable alpha for a few days."
Alex was beyond miserable. Eliza could not in good conscience leave her daughter in such a state. But, she also could not in good conscience pimp Kara out to Alex.
"Well… what if we…" Eliza licked her lips. "What if we remove that issue?" If they took Kara somewhere, Alex would not have to suffer knowing her mate was around and maybe her body would calm down. Jeremiah could take Kara up in the mountains, camping. She would like that and Eliza could sit with Alex until she was better.
"That's not going to matter to Alex. She'll keep being sick and she'll be sick every single time she has her rut."
Eliza opened her mouth to say something, but loud coughing from upstairs caught all of their attention. Then there was heaving. Poor Alex did not have anything left to give, but her stomach continued to turn itself inside out. Eliza's heart sped up for a moment. I just want my baby to be okay. Kara moved, but Jeremiah put a hand on her shoulder. Then, there was a scream.
"Kara, no!" Jeremiah growled while Eliza tried to stare Kara down.
"She needs help!" Kara motioned upstairs.
"She's just sick," Eliza replied.
"Oh, god!" Alex groaned loud enough for them all to hear. She sounded worse than ever. None of them would be able to last a couple of days knowing Alex was suffering.
"Go check on her," Doctor Blue said.
Eliza pointed at Kara. "Stay." She stared Kara down to make sure Kara understood. "Stay." She rushed up the stairs back to Alex's room.
Alex was curled up in a tight ball, sobbing. Alex never sobbed. She broke her arm when she was ten and made fun of the angle of the bone. Eliza fell to her side and ran her hands through Alex's wet hair.
"Alex, what's going on? How do you feel?" Eliza asked. I just want my baby to be okay!
"It hurts so damn much!" Alex wailed, arms wrapped around her middle. Her mouth was open in a roar, all her teeth on display. This was no small thing. "It's like everything inside of me is being shredded!"
"You could try to ice her down," Doctor Blue said. "But, she'll be screaming like that for two to three days. And it'll probably be impossible for her to keep anything down."
"And there's nothing we can do?"
"You can take her to the hospital and they'll sedate her."
"Sedate her?" Eliza would not be surprised if the neighbors heard her with how loud she yelled.
"No!" Kara's scream came from downstairs.
"Kara!" Jeremiah's voice rang out, but it was too late.
Kara was at the door. "You can't do that!"
Eliza gave Kara a stern look. "Kara, stay out of here." She pointed at Kara. "Stay out." Her attention went back to the phone. "So, sedation is out of the question." Not that she would have entertained that. She moved over to the door, blocking Kara… well, standing in Kara's path.
"Most people don't want to sedate their kids anyway. So, back to the suggestion you're not going to like," Doctor Blue replied.
Eliza growled and snapped her fingers at Kara, pointing to the stairs. Kara curled her lip, but moved. They both marched to the stairs, but barely made it down one before Alex caused them to pause. Alex hollered in the background and then retched. The sound twisted Eliza's gut. This was too much. She rushed Kara back to the living room where Jeremiah paced.
Eliza wanted to pace right along with her husband. She just wanted to make her child feel better. Why was this so hard? She did not want Alex to hurt, but she had no right to sacrifice someone else's child in the process, especially one she was expected to care for.
"You're going to suggest we let them…" Eliza could not even bring herself to say it.
"That or sedate Alex. Look, I'm not suggesting you do this if the other party is unwilling, obviously. I never got that feeling from Alex, not that she said anything."
"She talked to you about this?" Eliza could not believe Alex felt more comfortable talking about these things with her doctor. She and Jeremiah failed their child so hard.
"No, no, no. She isn't the type to talk about it. This is just from what I've picked up in questioning her in check outs and observations. Talk it out. If you move ahead with this plan, I'd suggest some preparation. Condoms, enough food to last three days, and a place for you and your husband to stay for a couple of days. I'd also suggest you take her mate for a check up after Alex's rut, just to be safe."
Eliza groaned and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Are you sure those are the only options? There aren't pills for rut sickness?"
"Unfortunately, no. There's too many chemicals, hormones, and such mixing together in different ways in each person. Honestly, a lot of people don't have this problem."
Eliza furrowed her brow. "Why not? I mean, every alpha can't be with their mate every rut."
"This is true, but most alphas in this predicament have been with their mates a number of times, so their bodies kind of learn that the last time won't be the last time. And, in cases where the mate has died, there have been studies to support the notion that the body understands the grieving process and knows no matter how much it might yearn for the mate, the mate isn't coming back and therefore hormone levels shift and the brain chemistry changes. It's all theoretical right now, but rut sickness isn't pleasant ever. That's a fact. But, it's also not deadly."
Eliza covered her mouth for a moment. "Are you saying…" She could not even get the question out. Her eyes went to Kara.
"Look, you can be responsible about this. It doesn't have to be something disgusting or creepy. It's biological and, like I said, you can be responsible. Alex is responsible to a fault," Doctor Blue said.
Eliza groaned. "I don't like this."
"Like I said, you can be responsible about it. I'm not advocating for you to hook your child up. I'm just telling you that Alex's rut is so harsh because she's met her mate and that's who her body is expecting to satisfy her rut. Anything short of that will just leave her afflicted with sickness. Sedate her."
Eliza could not bring herself to do that, especially not after finding out how much harm she and Jeremiah had already done to Alex over her being an alpha. Plus, Kara would not stand for it. She sighed. There was only one option.
"I'll call you back if I need to," Eliza said and she ended the call. She turned to Jeremiah and Kara.
"So, what did she say?" Jeremiah asked.
"She said that Alex is going through rut sickness. We could take her to the hospital and they'll sedate her," Eliza replied.
"Sedate her?" Jeremiah looked at her as if she was out of her mind.
"We're not sedating Alex," Kara said, as if her word was law.
"What else can we do?" Jeremiah asked.
Eliza sighed. "Well…" She looked at Kara. "Kara, have you… have you been with Alex?" That was what it seemed like Doctor Blue implied.
Kara yelped and she put her hands over her mouth. "I…" She was such a horrible liar.
Jeremiah looked at her. "Kara…"
Kara rubbed her elbow and looked everywhere except at one of them. "It was… we… I…"
Jeremiah gave her a stern look. "I thought we went through this that Alex wasn't your bond-mate."
"I know…" Kara eyed the floor and toed the rug with her Vans. "We talked about it, but that doesn't make it not true."
Eliza blew out a breath. "She has a point, Jeremiah. And, that's why Alex is the way she is."
"What do you mean?" Jeremiah asked.
"Her body's reacting to a desire for her mate. A mate that she's been with."
Kara gasped. "She wants me?"
Eliza spoke directly to Kara. "Doctor Blue explained that Alex is going through what's called rut sickness. Her body's overreacting to her rut because she's been with her mate. Her body wants her mate."
Jeremiah shook his head. "And, you're what, suggesting we let our daughters bone each other?"
"It's that or we take Alex to the hospital and sedate her for two days," Eliza said.
Jeremiah scowled. "That wouldn't help Alex feel better about being an alpha, would it?"
"Definitely not." Eliza did not want to imagine that conversation and she could already feel Alex never trusting them again if they dared to do such a thing. Hell, that would be if they were lucky. She and Jeremiah fidgeted a bit, glancing away, as if this whole thing might vanish by the time they turned back to each other.
Kara stepped forward. "Um… I know you're mad and I guess you can yell at us later, but if I could make Alex stop hurting, please let me. Let me be with my bond-mate." She twiddled her fingers, but then put her hands to her side and stared at them with determination in her eyes. "Let me be there for my bond-mate." Her blue eyes glinted with her actual age, and strength.
Eliza and Jeremiah stared at each other, silently weighing options they did not really have. Eliza had always worried about having Kara and Alex together, even before Alex presented. From the moment Kara thought Alex was her betrothed and they were supposed to get married for Kara to become part of their family, Eliza knew. It did not get better when Alex started acting protective of Kara and Kara looked at Alex as if she hung all the stars in the sky. It was a matter of time. She just never expected to enable the behavior.
Jeremiah rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm going to go to the store. Get some supplies. You…" Blowing out another breath, he motioned to Kara.
"They'll need food and…" Eliza winced.
Jeremiah was not much better. "I know. I know."
Eliza was not sure which of them had the worst assignment here. As Jeremiah escaped, she sat down on the couch and waved Kara over. Kara looked up the stairs before following along. Eliza took Kara's hand in hers.
"You really love Alex, don't you?" Eliza asked.
Kara's face scrunched up, like Eliza was asking the dumbest question ever. "Of course."
Eliza squeezed Kara's hand. "I know Kryptonians don't take bond-mates lightly." She had done so much research on the practice when Kara claimed Alex was her bond-mate. She could not figure out why such a young girl would say such a thing, especially about a person she barely knew. Kara had always been confident that Alex was hers, though. The research had not been much help, except to under cover it was partially a cultural misunderstanding. But, even when they cleared that part up, Kara still seemed to cling to the idea that Alex was hers. After a while, Alex did not actively fight it.
Kara shook her head. "We don't."
"You're both so young for this type of commitment."
"Sometimes, on Krypton, you'd be arranged to have a bond-mate from birth."
"Did you?"
Kara shook her head again. "My parents… They felt like I should have the choice to get to know my bond-mate without feeling obligated to be with them. There was no shame to an arrangement, as my parents had been arranged, but they'd still rather I get to know a person before deciding to spend my life with them."
"Would this be the right age for you?"
"Well, because a bonding arrangement could be done at birth, there is no real 'right age.' Technically, my parents had been bonded since my mother was two. They spent a lot of time together as children, even though my father was older. They'd tell stories of how awkward it was, but they learned to enjoy each other's company when my mother was a full-fledged teenager, I suppose would be the best way to describe it."
Eliza nodded. "Would you parents approve of… this?" She felt like she was letting Kara's parents down for even considering this.
Kara smiled. "I like to think they would approve of Alex being my bond-mate. They always told me a bond-mate should make me feel special and I should enjoy being around them whenever I wanted to be with people. There's never a time I don't want to be with Alex."
"I know."
Kara wrinkled her nose. "I know there's nothing I can say to you to make you comfortable with this. This place is so different from Krypton, but I want to help Alex. I want to be with her. If this was Krypton and she accepted me as a bond-mate, we could certainly have the ceremony and even live on our own if we were able to support ourselves or our families could put us up some place."
Eliza felt very little comfort from that. They were kids and she should not condone this. Still, something needed to be done that would not scar Alex for life. Handing Kara over to her did not seem like the right thing to do, but what other options did she have? Jeremiah already seemed to agree and Kara was all for it. This is cultural, like before. I have to see this from her culture rather than mine.
"I don't want to let your parents down." Eliza did not want to let herself down.
Kara offered her a wobbly smile. "You're already doing more for them than imaginable. You've made me family, even though you didn't need to. You've done your best to make me feel at home and I love it here."
Eliza drew her lips in a line and caressed Kara's cheek. "Then why do I feel so bad?"
Kara shrugged. "Culture and norms."
"This isn't right."
"It's perfectly fine. We're mates." Her voice was almost like a chirp, like when she had her favorite foods set before her.
Eliza nodded, even though as a beta she did not fully understand what it meant to be a mate. Betas did not form the chemical bond that alphas and omegas did. Kara was practically a beta herself, but she had a unique position of not being from this world. The Kryptonian idea of a bond-mate seemed to connect to alpha and omega pair-bonding and from what Eliza knew, they were similar. Still, it did not sit right.
Kara, the Kryptonian, was somehow in a better position to understand her daughter and her needs better than Eliza. There were many mother-daughter relationships strained through the history of humanity, but how many mothers could say an alien knew their daughter better than they did? Hurt did not begin to cover it.
"I guess I should arrange for you two to have some food for right now," Eliza said. She and Jeremiah would not stick around for this. That would be too much, but she had to make sure they did not starve.
Kara nodded. "Lots of pizza!" She grinned, like this was a party.
"Kara, do you understand what's going on?" Eliza felt it necessary to ask. Kara's attitude was off to her.
Kara nodded. "Yes. Alex and I researched her rut."
Eliza blinked twice. "You did?" While she and Jeremiah were busy forgetting what they did for a living and listening to anecdotal evidence, Alex and Kara were doing real research to prepare for this. I should be happy Alex had Kara to be there for her, but I'm just torn over not being there for her and her not trusting me enough to come to me. The more this went on, the more Eliza felt like a huge failure. A stupid failure at that.
"Yeah, she wanted me to understand, but it also helped her understand. It was nice to learn together since it's usually just her teaching me stuff. This was something we could share and discuss and figure out."
Eliza fought to keep a frown off of her face. She should be happy Alex had Kara by her side to learn more about herself, but Eliza was disappointed in herself. She or Jeremiah should have been there for Alex. Maybe this was their fault.
"I'm glad she has you, Kara," Eliza said and it was not a lie. This did not sit well with her, but she had to accept it.
Kara smiled again, as bright as always. "I'm glad I have her."
"All right. Don't do anything until we have everything set up, okay?"
Kara nodded, but her body tensed as they heard another sob come from Alex. Eliza distracted Kara from Alex's pain by getting to talk about the type of food she wanted for the next two days. For once, food was not Kara's top priority.
-8-8-8-8-
Kara itched to go upstairs and help Alex, but the Danvers wanted to talk to her before they left. They were trying to make sure she was ready for what she had to do, but she could not really tell what they were saying. It was blocked out by Alex's groaning. She could not wait a moment longer, so she ushered them toward the front door.
"Call us if you need anything," Eliza said and then winced.
Kara barely got out a bye before slamming the door. The house shook, but fortunately the door did not fall off and none of the walls broke. Super speed took her to Alex's room.
It smelled like sickness and she saw why. Alex was curled in her bed, sweating through everything. She heard Alex vomit multiple times, so that scent did not surprise her. Alex's paleness was definitely a shock. Alex's head shot up and her eyes were bloodshot and wet.
"Kara, no!" Alex groaned and curled into a tight ball.
"It's okay." Kara stepped closer and could smell Alex just underneath the sickness. There was a spiciness to her, like chilies. It lingered.
"No!" Alex pulled her sheet over her, as if it would stop Kara.
Kara picked Alex up and carried her out of the room. Alex twisted and struggled, but there was nowhere for her to go. Kara went to her room and eased Alex onto the bed. Alex shuffled into the corner, tucked into a ball again.
"It's okay. We're the only ones here. Eliza and Jeremiah have decided to respect our bond," Kara said.
Alex stared at her with wild eyes. "They… they what?"
"They respect our bond. They left. We have the house to ourselves until your rut is over."
Alex swallowed as her eyes darted back and forth, as if her brain was trying to catch up with what she was being told. "They're okay with this?"
"They ordered us food and drinks and other stuff. Jeremiah even went out and got this." Kara reached into her pants pocket and pulled out a roll of condoms.
Alex scoffed. "As if he hasn't made me buy a lifetime supply already."
"They're sorry about that and they just want you to be okay and I want you to be okay. It's your rut and your body wants your mate. We're mates, right?"
Alex turned away. "I don't want to hurt you."
"You'll hurt me if you reject me, especially since you know it's true. We're mates."
"Mates…" Alex smiled. "My mate."
"Yes." Kara moved onto the bed and Alex crawled over to her. "Mates. Bond mates."
The way Alex kissed her could only be an agreement. Kara held in a squeal of joy as Alex's lips touched her. She craved Alex for so long, it was more than satisfying to finally have her. She pulled away and Alex growled.
"Okay, you need this." Kara gave Alex a piece of gum. As much as she loved Alex, her sense of taste was way too acute for her to continue to kiss someone who spent the morning vomiting.
Alex did not object. "Gimme the pack." Kara did that and Alex stuck as many pieces of gum in her mouth as she could. After a couple of chews, she leaned in for another kiss, but Kara did not meet her.
"Wait, lemme just…" Kara removed her clothing with super-speed and managed to strip Alex. Rao, that comes in handy. Her mouth was back on Alex's before Alex could miss her.
They kissed for a moment, but Kara used her super-speed once more. She got a towel to wipe away the sweat from Alex and they went back to kissing. The towel went into the laundry and there was more kissing, now without interrupting. Eventually, Alex had to spit the gum out, balling it up into some tissue, for them to properly kiss each other. She tasted like evergreen now, so that was better.
There was so much kissing and Kara would have lost herself in that and been happy, but Alex's hands on her breasts was good, too. It took her a moment to realize the pressure from Alex's hands were also to direct her. Shifting, Kara laid down and Alex's body covered her. It was the definition of joy.
"Kara," Alex groaned her name.
"Yeah?" Kara asked, brain barely able to function as she felt the expanse of Alex's skin against her own. It was like she was touch-starved, even though Alex touched her all the time. She never felt it this deep, though, except one time.
"I gotta…" Alex glanced down her body.
Kara bit her lip and nodded. They had read up enough about Alex's rut for Kara to know this wasn't going to be a completely romantic encounter like in the movies. Alex had a biological need to mate right now. She was probably still hurting from trying to fight off her rut sickness.
"It's okay. This is all about you," Kara said.
Alex shook her head. "I don't want it to be all about me."
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, this is so you'll feel better." Kara caressed Alex's cheek. "It's okay. You always take care of me. Let me take care of you now."
Alex stared at her for a long moment, weighing her biological drive against her need to always put Kara first. Kara made the decision for both of them. She spread her legs, so Alex fell in between them and then she moved her hand to her clit, stroking it. Alex's nostrils flared and her eyes went from Kara's hand to her face back to her hand. Alex had no idea where to focus, but it was obvious what she desired.
"I want you, Alex. I want you right now and I'm so ready for you," Kara said as pleasure zipped through her, but it was a hollow type of ecstasy. She needed Alex to touch her. She needed Alex on her, inside of her.
Alex groaned, but still seemed at war with herself. Kara went a little further and brought her hand up for Alex to see she was wet. When Alex still didn't move, she put her finger to Alex's lips. She yelped when Alex licked the pad of her finger and shuddered.
"Come on. Give us what we both want," Kara said.
Alex shifted, leaning onto one arm. She reached between them and stroked Kara. Kara whimpered and bucked into those wonderful fingers as the right type of pleasure jolted through her. Alex caressed her slowly, gathering her desire and using it to coax more pleasure out of her. Kara whined and arched, wanting so much more.
"It's okay. I'm here," Alex said and she kissed Kara's cheek. It would be sweet if she was not torturing Kara with want right now.
"More, please…" Kara spread her legs wider, welcoming.
Kara moaned as two of Alex's fingers dipped inside of her, but Alex did not give her much beyond that. She withdrew her fingers and then nudged them back in, but not deep. There was not enough friction, even as Alex went deeper. It was too slow! Kara was about to go out of her mind with need.
Kara was about to complain as Alex removed her fingers again until she felt Alex nudged her properly. All she could do was whine to let Alex know what she wanted. Alex kissed her, maybe to keep her calm. She clutched Alex's shoulders as Alex pushed inside and it felt so good, so right.
"Yes!" Kara cried out as bliss blazed down her nerves. She never felt anything like this. How had she done without this for so long?
Alex did not respond, just moving her hips at a quick pace. Kara moaned as Alex kissed her neck and cheeks. The way Alex felt and moved, it was like feeling Earth's yellow sun for the first time. It did not last long enough, but she did not expect it to. Alex had been hurting too much from her rut sickness.
Alex came with a low growl and then her knot pressed against Kara. Alex's hips hammered away and Kara cried out as the knot pushed, hot inside of her. Alex flinched and drew back enough to look at Kara. While Alex did not ask, her eyes said it all.
"It's okay. I'm okay," Kara said.
Alex grunted and then collapsed on top of Kara. Kara caressed Alex's shoulders and kissed the top of her head. Alex hummed, sounding quite content.
"You feel better?" Kara asked.
"Yeah. I can at least think straight now," Alex replied.
Kara chuckled. "Tell that to your hips." Alex was still rocking against her.
"I can't help it. Sorry."
"Don't be sorry."
Alex shifted again and moved her hand between them. Her thumb slipped over Kara's clit and that was much better than an apology. Kara moaned as fireworks popped under her skin and she arched into the touch, moving on Alex's knot. Being so full made Kara's body even more aflame with pleasure. Alex pressed a little harder and moved faster. The fireworks became a forest fire down her nerves very rapidly. Alex kissed her neck, sucked at her pulse point, and made sure to keep up her pace and pressure. Climbing higher and higher, Kara's breath came faster, and then it all exploded inside of her. She cried out, back bowed, and Alex kissed her chin.
If Kara did not know what it felt like to fly, she would have sworn it felt like this. But, this was a much better sensation. This was better than the first taste of Yellow Sun. This was peace and love. She sank into the bed, relaxed beyond anything she would have thought possible.
"I gotta take care of you, mate," Alex said before giving Kara a peck on the lips.
Kara smiled. "That was good taking care of me. We got more of that coming?"
"Well, I got two days of rut."
Kara smiled until she realized Alex was not making a statement, but giving her a head's up. Alex lifted up, pulling out. Kara was not sure when her knot went down, but Alex seemed intent on getting it back fast. Alex got up on her elbows and spread her legs apart. She eased back into Kara, and there that was again. Alex groaned as she pushed all the way in and then pulled out, picking up speed with each move. She hammered into Kara and every movement blazed down to her toes. Ecstasy scorched every inch of her.
"Fuck!" Alex growled in her ear and it sounded so damn sexy.
Kara arched and tried to keep up with Alex, but found it hard to keep rhythm as another eruption built. Somehow, she found Alex's lips and they kissed like they had all the time in the world, which did not match Alex's frantic pace. It would not take long for Alex to climax again and Kara wanted to come with her, so she had to do something.
Kara pushed up, trying to get into a sitting position. Alex pulled back enough to look at Kara. Her pupils were blown, but even then she stared at Kara with such love, affection, and, of course, endless lust.
"Wanna change position," Kara said.
"Oh. Okay." Alex nodded and sat up more.
"Don't pull out! I just wanna sit up."
Alex nodded again and Kara pushed herself up, trying her best to keep Alex inside of her. But, there was a little fumbling as they moved and they lost each other for a moment. Kara scrambled into Alex's lap and sank down on her length. They both moaned loudly and Kara rocked against Alex, bracing herself on Alex's shoulders. As she came down, Alex bucked into her.
Now that Alex did not have to worry about supporting her weight, she used both hands to caress Kara's torso. Kara moaned as a hand went to her breast and tugged her nipple. Pleasure rushed down her spine and she wanted more, more, more. She leaned in, needing to kiss Alex again.
The kiss was sloppy. They clicked teeth a couple of times, but Alex did not end up with a broken nose, so it was fine. Though, it did not seem like a broken nose would have stopped Alex. Alex had her hand on Kara's hip, directing her to keep pace, even though she could not actually move Kara.
Alex's pumped harder and her mouth drifted from Kara's lips to her neck. She was close and then she felt Alex erupted into her once more. Alex roared and then bit down on where Kara's neck and shoulder met. It was like a lightning bolt of delight burned through Kara as soon as she felt Alex's teeth. Kara moaned, definitely feeling that more than she thought she would, and the world went white for a moment.
"Rao," Kara panted, falling against Alex, who was still moving, pressing her knot inside of Kara. It was a sign of things to come.

After a few hours and Alex staying in "mate mode," Kara took control of the situation. They needed to eat and stay hydrated. When she brought it up to Alex, Alex just whimpered and fucked her harder, as if that would make things better. But, since Alex would follow her anywhere, Kara just took her first chance to move and went down to the dining room.
There were five boxes of pizza and two six foot subs waiting on the table. She bent over to open a pizza box and Alex molded herself to Kara's back, kissing her bare shoulder blades and cupping Kara's breasts. It was nice, but they needed to eat.
"No, no, no. None of that. Eating." Kara moved slightly to the left and put a slice of meat lover's pizza in Alex's face.
Alex pouted, but accepted the slice. She ate hers almost as fast as Kara ate her slice. Kara had never Alex eat so fast. Kara went into the fridge and grabbed waters for both of them. Once again, Alex downed it in record time and turned her attention back to Kara. There was a hunger in Alex's eyes that would not be satisfied by pizza.
"Not out here," Kara said and Alex whimpered again. It was so pitiful Kara felt sorry for her. "We can't disrespect your parents' space after they decided to respect our bond. So, all mating will be done in my room or your room."
Alex pouted and Kara kissed her on the lips. It did not make the pout go away. Kara made Alex eat another slice and then finished off the rest of the pie on her own. Alex watched her as she put the rest of the food in the fridge. As soon as she crammed the last box in there, Alex grabbed her by the hand and rushed back upstairs. It was going to be a long two days.

Next time: being a mated couple, and the end.
