Oliver runs his fingers over the mark on his neck.

"Did we..?" Oliver starts.

"Yes" Malcolm replies, worried what Oliver is going to say.

"Good" Oliver replies as he leans over to kiss Malcolm.

Malcolm pulls back from the kiss and tells Oliver to call his mom and let her know he's going to be gone for a little while.

Oliver nods and gets out of the bed to go call his mom, and the other members of team Arrow.

**PAGE BREAK**

Oliver returns the bedroom wearing his boxers.

"I told her I have to go out of town for a few days for business, so we're clear" Oliver says, climbing in the bed and straddling Malcolm. Malcolm smiles and presses a loving kiss to Oliver's lips.

"So," Malcolm starts, "I think that for right now, we should try to keep this between us."

"I agree. Mom and Tommy probably won't be too happy." Oliver says.

"Probably. But as long as you're happy, I don't care what they think" Malcolm says, putting his hands back on Oliver's hips. Oliver smiles and kisses Malcolm again.

"So what do we do now...now that we're bonded and you claimed me?" Oliver asks.

Malcolm runs his thumb over the scar on Oliver's hip and says "Whatever feels right. We're mates now. We can have a relationship now if you want, or we don't have to" Malcolm rambles.

"I'd love to be in a true relationship with you" Oliver says, pressing a kiss to Malcolm's jaw.

Malcolm smiles and pulls Oliver down to lay with him.

"Can I ask you something, Oliver?" Malcolm says.

"Of course"

"On that Island, did someone else force a bond with you"

"Yes" Oliver whispers.

Malcolm decides not to push the subject. He presses a light kiss to Oliver's head and soon Oliver is lulled to sleep by the strong, steady beat of Malcolm's heart.

Malcolm stays awake, thinking about what his future life with Oliver could be like. But then there's the undertaking. He loves Oliver, and he knows that Oliver would never forgive him if he destroyed the glades. But for now, he puts off deciding whether to continue the undertaking or not.

Malcolm glances down at the beautiful young man sleeping on his bare chest, and decides to get some rest before he has to help the...his Omega through another heat wave.

After a little while, Oliver begins to stir. He wakes up to find Malcolm's arms wrapped around him, holding him in a protective embrace. Oliver smiles and presses a kiss to Malcolm's warm shoulder, rousing Malcolm from his sleep.

Malcolm's eyes drift open to see Oliver peppering his neck and chest with light kisses.

"Mmmm, that feels good" Malcolm yawns out, running his fingers through Oliver's hair. Oliver smiles as he continues to kiss all over Malcolm's chest and then returns to his lips.

Malcolm runs his hands through Oliver's hair as the share a slow but passionate kiss. One that is marginally different from the other ones they've had so far. Oliver runs his hands over the muscles in Malcolm's arms, loving the feel of them under his hands. Malcolm runs his tongue over Oliver's lips asking for permission, which Oliver grants him.

Malcolm slips his tongue into Oliver's mouth causing Oliver to moan at the wonderful feeling. Malcolm pulls Oliver up, so he is lying on top of Malcolm. Malcolm runs one of his hands over Oliver's ass and can feel how Oliver flinched a little. Malcolm pulls back from the kiss with a worried look on his face.

"Are you ok? Did I hurt you when we had sex?" Malcolm asks.

"I'm fine, babe. It hurt a little bit, but it felt amazing. You felt amazing Malcolm" Oliver says.

Malcolm smiles and Oliver brushes his thumb over Malcolm's bottom lip and is surprised when Malcolm takes Oliver's thumb into his mouth, sucking on it. Oliver groans as Malcolm swirls his tongue around it, maintaining eye contact with Oliver.

Oliver, who is laying flush on top of Malcolm, can Malcolm's growing erection against his own. Malcolm groans as the scent of Oliver's heat reaches him again.

Malcolm takes his mouth off of Oliver's thumb and draws his pointer finger into his mouth. Oliver runs a hand down the side of Malcolm's body, and slips his hand into Malcolm's boxers, taking hold of his length.

Oliver slides off of Malcolm and lays between his legs. Oliver pulls Malcolm's boxers off and runs his tongue up and down Malcolm's cock. Malcolm moans and Oliver takes all of him into his mouth. Oliver continues this for a long while before Malcolm pulls him back up and attacks Oliver's lips.

Malcolm flips them over and enters Oliver again, and the house is once again filled with the sounds of the newly bonded Alpha and Omega making love.
