They dozed lazily for a few hours. The sound of Light's breathing a steady rhythm as they peacefully slept, telling them that they'd done their job well.

But we've still got a long way to go before this is over. Beyond felt an insatiable itch at the core of his body that was demanding he claim the Omega, but he was controlled enough to wait until Light woke and hit his next wave of heat.

L peered up over Light's shoulder at him and gave a small tilt of his head towards the door. Beyond nodded and stayed with their Omega, holding him close as L rose and rearranged the blankets over them before quietly exiting the room.

The burgundy-eyed male smiled as his eyes slid closed once more and the scent of their mate lulled him to sleep

The Alpha was slowly woken to the heady scent of arousal that flooded the air as the brunet rolled him onto his back to climb atop him. Beyond's eyes snapped open, wide awake now and blinking hard as Light straddled him. The Omega let out a needy whine that had Beyond sitting straight up, immediately alert to the needs of his mate.

"Baby, what do you need?" He asked, but Light simply began to roll his hips, shamelessly bucking against his mate, and whining softly. Beyond brushed the younger man's hair from his face to take in the adorably lost look in his half-lidded eyes. It brought a small smile to his face.

He's so cute. Beyond thought with a pleased sigh as he took the lead for the moment, shifting them back until he was leaning against one of the walls before lifting Light up slightly, repositioning him so he could lower the Omega onto his waiting cock.

"Mmm…hnh!" Light's eyelids fluttered closed as he was filled to the brim, jaw dropping open as he panted. "B…unh-hnh…"

"Holy shit, sweetheart," Beyond swallowed hard, momentarily overwhelmed by how hot, wet, and fucking perfect his mate was. He gave an experimental thrust, jutting up into the snug heat and Light let out a sweet moan that served to spur him on as he set up a rhythm that had the young Omega bouncing in his lap as he rode him.

"Yes, yes, fuck…" Light groaned as Beyond helped guide him. The Alpha couldn't imagine anything feeling better than what they were doing at that moment or ever wanting any other Omega. He eyed his mate's throat eagerly, licking his lips as he tried to form a coherent thought in his head.

Mate…claim…bond… The older male buried his face in the crook of Light's neck and breathed deeply of the tantalizing scent there.

Mine. He thought as he leaned back to look at the Omega once more.

"Light…we all talked about bonding at this heat. Are you ready to do it now?" Light nodded excitedly, a broad smile spreading across his face.

"Yes…" He leaned in to kiss Beyond deeply, fingers carding through the Alpha's hair to softly tug at the dark strands. "I love you both so much already…" B's arms held his young mate impossibly closer upon hearing those whispered words.

"God Light…I love you too baby." He choked out, throat tight with emotion. Beyond gazed into the brunet's stunning amber irises and saw their shared future with L in them.

Light's our everything now. I can't even imagine life without him. Beyond smiled and guided the brunet to his scent gland, while he placed his own lips upon the Omega's throat. The younger man rolled his hips, breath hot and gasping against B's neck as he slowly took his mate's length deep inside again and again.

"Fuck…feel so good honey, that's it, just like that…" He murmured as he kissed and licked at Light's scent gland, his knot already beginning to swell and catch on the brunet's rim. He moved his hand to stroke his mate's rigid erection, knowing he wouldn't last much longer and wanting to feel-

"Ah-haaa….nhhh…" Light cried out and slammed down to take Beyond fully as he came across both of their stomachs. The Alpha groaned lowly at the sensation and felt his own orgasm overtake him as his knot was locked in the throbbing heat of his mate and he spilled his seed deep inside.

"Now Light…" He gasped, encouraging the young man as he stroked the back of his head gently and bared his own teeth to bite down.

...

...

...

Beyond was at a loss… There were no words to describe the complete and utter sense of possession and being possessed that ran through him as the bond wove its inexplicable beauty between the two of them, creating an unbreakable tether, both physical and etheric to tie them together.

He could feel the love in Light's heart for them, the happiness at their mating. It was a stunning gift to catch a glimpse of, and he returned it in kind by sharing the love he had for the younger man, as well as the love he had for L. Allowing his mate to feel just how much they both meant to him.

The Alpha wasn't sure how long they were holding each other like that as they drifted, delirious on the high of bonding. Long after their mouths unlatched from one another's throats and Light had fallen asleep in his arms. Even when his knot went down, they stayed like that, just wrapped up in one another.

Eventually Beyond opened his eyes to L's smiling face as he tucked a blanket more tightly around them. The raven reached up to stroke his cheek.

"How are you feeling?" L whispered, eyeing the brunet carefully for any sign that they were disturbing his rest. They didn't expect it though, it was common that after a mating bite, the Omega would be slumbering for a considerable time to recover. Whereas the Alpha bounced back swiftly, a biological imperative to allow them to protect their newly bonded mate as they rested.

"Wonderful…it was…" Beyond grinned stupidly, a bit drunken feeling still from bonding as a happy sigh escaped him. "I can't wait until you're bonded with him too…he loves us, Lawl- L placed his hand over the dark-haired Alpha's mouth, eyes wide as he shook his head in warning before removing it.

I'm sorry… B mouthed silently to the detective, who smiled sadly and shrugged.

They both knew the conversation with Light regarding L's true identity was coming now that they were officially married. They could finally share their secrets with him, what they both really did for a living. The Alphas had wanted to have it before the younger man's first heat, before bonding…

Things hadn't exactly gone according to plan.

Although it was worrisome to Beyond that Light didn't know these things, he was fairly certain the young man would understand once everything was explained to him. However, he knew that the entire situation was especially gnawing at L and that was deeply concerning to him. The guilt was growing every day, a heavy weight upon the raven-haired Alpha and the sooner they told their new mate, the better for all of them.
