I don't own these characters; DC/the CW does.
A/N: there's tons of lady-loving in this chapter. Enjoy.
4: Essence
Lena woke up to Kara moaning and Alex grunting. She was not surprised to find Alex on top of Kara when she opened her eyes. They made love well into the morning. Lena fell asleep first, which was not a surprise. She needed the most sleep out of all of them and had the least amount of stamina. I need to get in serious shape.
It was nearly a curse to be with an almost literal god and a superhuman. She was unable to keep up with them on her best days. But, then again, she did not need to keep up with them. She could catch her breath, relax, and take in a scene or two.
Lena turned more on her side to take in the sight before her. They all enjoyed watching the other two, so this was quite a tantalizing morning for her. Unfortunately, it would turn into a terrible morning because she could not join in. She had work.
In fact, she had to climb out of bed and shower somewhere else. She had to get dressed somewhere else. She refused to chance smelling like Alex and the bedroom was drenched in Alex's divine fragrance. She did not need anyone asking any questions about her relationship with Alex or what she did during Alex's rut.
Of course, the delicious scent made Lena want to stay in bed. She would be able to stare at her loves and drink in the amazing scent. She would float and fly on the smell alone.
"Love, you want a kiss?" Kara asked with a whimper, taking Lena from her thoughts.
Lena whined. "You know I can't take that chance. But, fuck, I want her knot."
Alex grinned, staring at her with glazed over eyes. "You can have my knot next." She was too far into her rut to understand Lena would not be around for the whole morning. They should not miss work on the same days without an emergency.
Lena frowned. "No, we talked about this. I have to go to work this morning without smelling like prime alpha-Alex."
Alex's grin grew and she scent-bombed room, despite the fact that the room was drenched in her. "You think I'm a prime alpha."
Lena had to caress Alex's cheek. "Yes, you're our prime alpha. Our wonderful prime alpha. Don't let that go to your head."
Alex's smile bordered on dopey now. "Prime alpha." She punctuated the statement by rolling her hips, drawing a moan out of Kara. Lena throbbed with envy, wishing she was in Kara's place.
"I'm going to hold you to this knot thing when I come back," Lena said as she got out of bed. She rushed out of the room and went to Alex's bedroom.
Her clothing waited for her in this room, along with all of her toiletries in Alex's bathroom. This had always been the plan. She hated it, but it had to be done. She would go to work in the morning to ensure no one thought she was helping Alex through her rut. No, she did not want people at work to believe she hated Alex, but she also did not want anyone to think she was banging Alex. It would cause too much trouble.
So, she was off to work while Alex and Kara remained in the bedroom. It took all of her willpower not to join them, especially since even the living room was coated in the miasma of Alex's sweet rut. How can she smell so damn delicious?! She practically bolted out of the apartment. She was not sure if she had everything she needed, but she would have to work with whatever the hell she had. No way she would go back into the penthouse unless she was getting in bed with her lovers.
Even when Lena got to work, it was hard for her to keep her mind on the papers before her. She shook her head several times, trying to clear her mind. Okay, the papers made no sense right now. Maybe she could focus on electronic documents.
She stared at her computer for a long moment, but did not see a single word there. It was worse than the papers, somehow. It was like staring into the sun. Instead of work, she pressed her thighs together, doing her best to avoid thinking of what she left behind. It was impossible.
In her mind, she could hear them going at it. Closing her eyes, she rubbed her face, which did not help. Images of this morning bombarded her. She opened her eyes and blinked hard several times, trying to rid herself of the scenes from earlier. None of that helped.
"I could call them and just watch for a moment," Lena muttered to her empty office. Yes, do that! She shook her head, knowing that was her inner omega trying to tempt her into an awful idea. There was no way in Hell calling them and seeing what they were doing would help her at all. She was already worthless mentally. That would make her beyond worthless and force her to go home.
With no recourse, Lena focused on her computer screen. Wow, she had not even put in her password to open the screen. No wonder nothing made sense. There was nothing there. This was not good. She had never been this shoddy at work, not even when crippled by her own heat.
Taking a deep breath, she did her best to settle herself. Calm down. Calm down and do some work. You can't go home. You can't let people think you're doing something with Alex. Calm down. She had to take several more deep breaths.
Lena opened everything on her computer. She had some emails to answer, which seemed like a decent place to start. She also had a meeting in an hour. It should be enough to push her through the morning, or so she hoped.
She got started, making sure to reread her responses several times before sending them. She was taken from that by her phone going off. A text message from Kara. Dare I check this?
She doubted Kara would send her anything teasing right now. So, she grabbed her phone to see what was going on. It was a picture of Alex sulking with an entire waffle in her mouth. I'm making her eat, Kara bragged.
That was good considering they had not even drank anything once they got started last night. It was also good that Kara was able to stay with Alex. This was thanks to Cat knowing she was Supergirl.
Cat had also put together since Kara was Supergirl, the once-agent that was always glued to her ass and the now scary vigilante hanging around her, was most likely her very human foster sister. So, if Kara hinted at Alex being hurt or injured and needing someone to look after her, Cat would wave her off and she had at least the day.
But, their plan involved Kara popping into the office in the afternoon for a little while to establish some normalcy. She could also let Cat know she would probably need the next day as well and give some vague excuse for why. It was better for her to be vague because Kara was a terrible liar, but even worse at it when standing before Cat Grant. Cat was kind enough to not press her too much, mostly again because she knew Kara was Supergirl.
Lena fought down the urge to call Kara and check in on them. If one of them answered while they were rutting, Lena would end up going back home. She only needed to make it through things.
"Miss Luthor," Jess said, poking her head into the office.
Lena looked up. "Yes?"
"Your meeting starts in ten minutes and you're not answering the phone."
"Oh." Wow, time had flown by. "I'm sorry. I got caught up in answering emails and reading reports from R&D. I have to go down there sometime this week. Do I have any open blocks?"
Jess flashed her a smile. "I'll make it happen. Is everything all right?"
"Yes, fine." Lena fanned herself for a moment. She was not hot, but worried she was sweating. She did not want to pump out any pheromones. "Give me a moment to freshen up."
"Take your time, Miss Luthor." Jess closed her office door.
Lena went to her office restroom, used a body wipe to clean herself up, and applied more scent concealer. This was ridiculous. She had never had this problem when helping an alpha friend with their rut. Of course, Alex was more than an alpha friend and she was doing so much more than "helping" with a rut. She thought about Alex asking her for pups and the memory made her shiver.
She put her hand on her lower abdomen. She would bear a dozen pups if she could raise them with Alex and Kara. They would be a family and raise a much greater Luthor than Lena might ever be. Alex would love their child with everything in her, making sure the child never thought they were not enough. Kara would love their child with the same fierceness she loved Alex and Lena, favoring them over all others. Yes, she would carry a child sired by Alex someday.
Shaking that thought away, Lena got her mind back on work. She just needed to push through this meeting and then she could go back to her mates. Mates. No, she should not think about that right now.
-8-8-8-8-
Alex had all but swallowed her breakfast, two frozen waffles, with an attitude. She knew it. She did not want to eat. She wanted Kara, but she had to finish her breakfast first or Kara would not let her mount her.
The second she was done, she put her plate down and kissed Kara, who was chewing her own food. Kara squeaked, but kissed her back. She pulled Kara into her lap.
"You done?" Alex asked, lips drifting down Kara's neck.
"I had another waffle to go," Kara replied with a moan. She tilted her head, giving Alex more excess to her neck.
Oh, this is rude of me. Kara needed all of the calories she took in. Alex took a breath, calming herself down enough to think about something more than knotting Kara again. "You want to finish it or can we go again?"
Kara rocked against her abs. "You really need to ask? Fuck me, Alex."
Alex growled and dragged her teeth down Kara's shoulder. "You gonna take my knot?"
Kara hissed in pleasure. "You know I will."
"Fuck." Alex sat up, putting Kara on her back.
Kara spread her legs to accommodate Alex's body. Alex's mouth did not leave Kara's neck as she settled her body atop Kara's. Kara arched, pressing their bodies together even more.
"You feel so damn amazing on top of me," Kara mewed.
Alex smiled against her neck. "You feel damn amazing in general. Love you so much." She kissed Kara's neck and then dragged her teeth down again. Kara enjoyed it so much, purring.
"I know." Kara wiggled and hummed. "I more than love you."
Alex chuckled, even though it was true. She more than loved Kara as well. She was not sure if anything covered it, even the concept of bond mates. According to Kryptonians, they now shared pieces of each other's souls and somehow that was not enough to explain what they felt for each other. It certainly made things spicier between them, zesty, but also chill.
"Bite me," Kara requested in a breathy voice.
Alex wasted no time fulfilling that desire. She bit Kara in the same place she had been doing for years, claiming Kara as her own. Her inner alpha puffed up over it, even though she was beyond aware no mark would ever exist on Kara.
"Yes!" Kara pressed Alex closer, arching against her.
The caress of Kara's body caused a burning flare in Alex. She needed to bury herself in Kara. Alex propped herself up on her hands, staring into Kara's eyes before leaning in for a kiss. She rocked her hips to the beat of their tongues stroking each other. Kara reached between them, taking hold of Alex, making her groan as pleasure seeped through her.
"Put me in," Alex breathed.
"You know I am," Kara replied.
Alex shivered as Kara moved her up and down, gliding against the warmth of Kara's body. She stopped as Alex's head pressed only slightly inside of her. Alex would do the rest.
She started a fresh kiss as she pushed inside Kara. A low, long groan/growl escaped her. Being inside Kara warmed her heart and made her soul sing. Making love to Kara was the cleanest high she had ever experienced and it blazed through every inch of her. But, it also seeped and settled. This was how she knew she had a soul. She could feel it glow thanks to Kara.
"You're beautiful," Alex whispered. "My beautiful mate."
Kara stared at her, eyes boring into her. "You're everything. Always have been, always will be."
Those words made Alex's inner alpha crow. While Kara would never be an omega, would never act like an omega, she was always enough for Alex's alpha. Yes, it always hurt to not be able to mark her, but there was always pride with Kara taking her, accepting her, being with her.
"Be with me," Kara begged.
Alex was not sure what that meant, but melded her body to Kara's. She kissed Kara once more, exploring her mouth with zeal. She rocked into Kara slower than her rut liked and it took little time for her hips to pick up speed. Kara whined into her mouth and she swallowed every sound with a delight, allowing the noise to fuel her. Sitting up, she took hold of Kara's waist and fucked her like it was the last thing she would ever do, so she had to make it count.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Kara held Alex's biceps and pulled her closer with her legs.
Alex put in even more effort, body energized with the bliss that was her bond mate. Her blood was made of ecstasy as it flowed through her. Kara held her tighter, enough to bruise. She did not mind, too lost in the way Kara rippled around her. Alex shuddered as her pleasure built.
"Fuck, Kara. Love you so much," Alex hissed, on edge with bliss.
Kara nodded. "Love you, too. Harder."
Alex wasted no time giving Kara exactly what she wanted. Her bond mate deserved to feel good, to feel the best. She moved how Kara liked, at the angle Kara enjoyed, and caressed Kara's torso with one hand.
Alex palmed a bouncing breast and pinched Kara's nipple, enough to tease. She wanted Kara to crave that climax a little more. Kara cried out.
"Alex, please!" Kara begged, no shame.
"Give it a moment. Savor me," Alex replied.
Kara whined and moved with Alex, earning a smile. But, soon the pleading continued. This time in Kryptonese. The language poured into Alex, stroking her entire being, down to her core. She would not last much longer, so she had to give Kara everything she wanted.
Alex's body moved on its own. Giving it until just the right moment, she pinched Kara's nipple and Kara cried out as she pulsed around Alex so good. Alex continued on through that orgasm. If she kept the brutal pace, Kara would climax again and that was exactly what happened. She added her teeth, biting down on Kara's neck, giving Kara a little more spice on that last one.
The second one was too much for Alex and she gushed into Kara with a roar. Her body was tense for a moment before she collapsed onto Kara. Kara wrapped her arms around Alex, who buried her face in Kara's neck, covering it with wet kisses and bites. Kara cooed and then yelped as Alex's knot popped inside of her. Alex sighed and relaxed against Kara, hips moving a bit.
"You'd have my pups, wouldn't you?" Alex mumbled.
"In a heartbeat," Kara replied. "I'd love nothing more than to raise a family with you and Lena."
This was like some crazy dream. "Same."
"So, you'll knot me next?" Lena's voice came from the doorway. She gave a little whimper.
Alex and Kara turned. Lena was pulling off her shirt at the door. She did not have pants on.
Alex grinned. "You know I will." She inhaled and took in the scent of how much her omega yearned for her knot.
"Is it noon already?" Kara asked with a laugh, like she knew it was not.
Lena was now nude and crawled onto the bed. "Meeting ended early." She kissed Alex and then Kara.
Kara grinned. "You ended it early because you want Alex's knot."
Lena sucked her teeth. "Of course, I want my alpha's knot." She locked eyes with Alex, who groaned.
Lena said those words with no shame. She wanted Alex. She would probably never understand how much this affected Alex, how unaccustomed to being desired like this was for Alex.
Alex preened and pushed herself up some, making Kara moan. Alex glanced at Kara to check on her. She was fine. Attention went back to Lena.
"Your alpha will give you everything you want and more," Alex vowed.
Lena whimpered. "Yes, please."
"Hey," Kara said. "Come here and let's get you ready for that big knot." Alex had to sit up for what Kara wished to do.
Lena wasted no time climbing onto Kara's face, facing Alex. Kara dived in with her usual enthusiasm, hands on Lena's thighs. With a loud moan, Lena fell forward, but Alex caught her. Lena kissed her like they had all the time in the world as a reward.
The sounds coming from Lena made Alex tremble down to her knot. And Kara had to feel every vibration because she cooed and moaned as well. And, for a while, they were a writhing mating ball, which was normal for them. It was magnificent, as always.
Lena pulled away, throwing her head back in a long whine. Her body and face were flushed as she rode Kara's face and shook. The room filled with her scent. Alex never would have thought it possible, but the sight and fragrance made her spurt more into Kara. Kara laughed.
"This is fun," Kara said, voice muffled by Lena's thighs.
Lena sighed and dropped next to Kara. "No one would believe Kara or Supergirl is the horn dog among us," she said, panting for air.
Kara snickered. "I'm sorry I have two incredible and sexy bond mates who know just what I like and who feel and taste amazing. Besides, I'm not the one who ended a meeting early for Alex's knot."
"But, you would," Lena replied.
Kara scoffed. "Yes, obviously. I'd end a meeting early to share space with both of you."
"Same," Alex and Lena replied at the same time.
They all smiled at each other and passed the time petting each other. Alex's knot went down and she pulled out of Kara, who let out a disappointed mew. Kara stretched and pouted.
"You really like my knot that much?" Alex asked, inner alpha aglow. She had gotten so good at this and Kara loved her so much that her knot could please her bond mate who was not even an omega.
Kara smiled. "I like you and being with you." She sat up to kiss the end of Alex's nose. "Now, you two have fun without me for a couple of hours."
"I promise you we will," Lena replied, spreading her legs with a come hither look in her eye.
Alex crawled over to Lena, more than ready and willing to satisfy her. Kara kissed both of their foreheads before leaving the room. It was almost distracting in how out of place it was, but Alex was more focused on burying another knot more than anything else.
"How's your rut going, sweetheart?" Lena asked with a smile. Her eyes sparkled as she ran her hands over Alex's shoulders and down her back.
Alex smirked. "You know how it's going. It'd be going even better if you let me knot you."
"Yes, my alpha," Lena replied with a purr. "Please, knot me." She gave a sexy pout.
Alex growled. How could she ignore such a breathy command? She was on Lena in an instant, kissing her breathless. Lena responded in kind, pulling Alex on top of her.
Their bodies pressed together both soothed Alex and ignited a new passion within her. With every sweep of Lena's tongue against her own and every caress of Lena's delicate, but deadly fingers, Alex found herself getting harder and harder. She needed Lena right now.
Alex pulled away from Lena for a moment, requiring eye contact for permission. Lena gave a nod and Alex plunged inside. They both moaned as Alex bottomed out inside of Lena. A sigh escaped Alex before she moved, driving into Lena at a steady pace until she had permission to go harder. Lena groaned and cooed, wrapping her legs around Alex.
"Yes, alpha! Right there, right there, right there," Lena begged.
Alex obliged and picked up her pace. Lena's scent spiked as she pulsed around Alex. Alex stroked Lena's belly before her thumb drifted lower. Lena keened as Alex's thumb glided over her slippery clit. Lena trembled beneath her as she squeezed Alex so perfectly. It was nearly impossible for Alex to control herself.
"One more," Alex said.
Lena whined. "Knot me!"
Alex clicked her tongue. "Promise just one more. Take care of you."
"Then knot me," Lena pled.
Alex nodded. "Just one more. Promise." She needed to make Lena feel good before giving in to her knot.
Alex rolled her hips and Lena cried out, scratching down Alex's arms. The scrape of her nails drove Alex harder. Lena dug in deeper and her scream pushed Alex over the edge. She snarled, burying her face in Lena's neck, inhaling her beatific aroma. Everything inside of her exploded to the point her vision blurred.
Lena's body tried to pull her in and Alex's knot slipped home with no problem. Lena sighed as if that was exactly what she needed. Alex's chest puffed out.
Alex smiled. "Good?"
Lena smiled right back, staring at her through half-lidded eyes. "Perfect." She melted into the mattress. "You're perfect."
Alex had to preen at the praise. "You're perfect and this is perfect. Thank you for being my omega."
"The pleasure is all mine, my alpha." Lena ran her hands up and down Alex's torso.
Alex purred and stirred her hips. Lena's fingers tripped over some of the scratches she left, making Alex's body react more. Lena moaned and clutched Alex tight. She loved it.
"Can you… can you mark me more for my rut? Just scratches if you're okay with that." Alex requested. "It kinda soothes my alpha."
Lena grinned. "No problem. The omega in me likes being able to cling and dig into you."
Alex beamed and her soul sang. She had an omega who wanted to hold onto her. This really was perfect.

Kara cursed her luck as she entered the penthouse. She had been gone way longer than she expected to be after going to help put out a wildfire up the coast. She was certain her bond mates kept each other occupied, but she wanted in on the fun, too.
The closeness Kara felt to her bond mates was indescribable when they were intimate. She could feel the twin flames glowing in her soul. The brightness from the inside was nothing short of Rao's blessing. The only thing letting her know she was not damned.
But, more than that, it felt amazing. It was a sea of wonderful sensation and Kara wanted to drown in it. She wanted to be surrounded by her bond mates, touching every inch of skin on both of them.
The sounds of Alex and Lena had buzzed in her ears long before she came in, listening out for them as background noise as she made her way home. The penthouse was bathed in their pheromones. Kara could not help inhaling. She might not be able to appreciate their alpha and omega statuses the way humans would, but she appreciated the little things that came with it. Her heightened senses cherished every bit of her bond mates and enticed her to them.
She shed her clothes as she went through the place, dressed in her work attire as she would never risk landing on the balcony in broad daylight, even as Supergirl. The last thing she needed was someone witnessing Supergirl go inside, but not leave the penthouse.
By the time she made it to the bedroom, she was nude and greeted by the most amazing sight Alex was behind Lena, giving Lena everything she had. Lena clutched the ruined sheets with her face buried in the mattress, muffling her screams. Alex's hands roamed Lena's flushed torso, gentle caresses before palming a breast. Kara went to Lena first.
"You okay, love?" Kara kissed Lena's exposed cheek.
Lena only nodded and panted into the mattress. Her eyes were screwed shut and her grip on the covers tightened. Her heartbeat was insane, like this might overwhelm her. Kara ran her hand through Lena's hair. The gentle touch eased Lena up a bit.
Kara went to Alex. They exchanged a brief kiss. Kara ran her hands over Alex's torso, palms tingling against her slick skin. Alex was drenched in sweat, but showed no signs of stopping.
"Can I do something to you? For you?" Kara asked in a soft voice.
"Whatever you want, but I think you'll have to jump in here next. I've worn Lena out," Alex reported with a proud smile.
"Believe me, I'm ready. Tag me in," Kara replied with a smile. She hoped Lena would forgive her for leaving her to take on Alex's rut for so long.
Alex chuckled and they kissed. Kara had to admire Alex's focus, never flattering with Lena while kissing Kara like it was everything.
That had been the story of this rut. Alex managed to make all of it feel like everything, like this was everything they all needed, everything they might ever desire. She was sure Alex would come out of this different, which meant they would all come out of this different.
Kara wrapped herself around Alex without breaking the kiss. Alex pulled away, growling as she clutched Lena's waist. Alex pressed herself to Lena as Lena screamed into the mattress and collapsed. Alex panted and stroked Lena's back.
Kara blinked. "I think she fell asleep."
Alex sighed. "She's been great, but she needed to tag you in about a half hour ago."
"Sorry. Supergirl stuff."
Alex nodded. "We figured. I told her I could wait for you. She wouldn't hear it."
That sounded Like Lena. She was not going to give up, especially after Alex's last rut with her. She needed Alex to know she was there for her emotionally. That was important for both of them.
Kara gave Alex a good once-over. "So, looks like you had fun."
Alex grinned, even though she was marked to Hell and back. "She started scratching and it feels so damn good."
Kara chuckled. "You just like the pain."
"It feels so good to me." Alex had always been into being scratched. She looked at her body.
"No biting, though, right?" Kara arched an eyebrow. Alex had also been into biting for a while, even when they figured out Kara's bite did nothing as far as mate marking went.
Alex shook her head. "Nope. I kept my teeth to myself. Waiting for you."
Kara shivered. "I enjoy your bites. I wish it stuck."
Alex sighed. "Me, too."
Kara perked up and kissed Alex. "But, maybe it's good it didn't. We needed the time to make our way to Lena." Lena completed them, even though they certainly felt whole back when it was just the two of them. It more than likely would not have remained that way when she met Lena. She did not want to imagine the mess that would have made, as she was sure she would have fallen in love with Lena, even if she was bonded to Alex.
Alex smiled. "You're right. She's precious." Alex petted Lena's back and she purred in her sleep. "I was too hard on her."
Kara sucked her teeth. "I bet she loved it." Lena would probably talk about this afternoon for the rest of their lives.
"No, I mean before."
Kara nuzzled Alex's neck. "Don't get hung up on the past. We're here now. You love her and she knows it. You'd die protecting her."
"Both of you."
"We know. We'd do the same for you."
Alex beamed. "I know."
Kara cuddled closer to Alex, but was careful since she was tied to Lena. She had shared many ruts with Alex, but this was the best so far because Alex was so relaxed. Alex had come into herself.
"Has this been a good rut for you?" Kara asked with a kiss to Alex's neck.
Alex hummed. "So good. Haven't gotten caught up in any bad thought cycles. This has been so perfect."
"I'm glad." Kara kissed Alex's neck.
"You keep kissing me and Lena's going to wake up."
Kara laughed. "You say that like she'll be mad."
Lena chuckled. "I promise she won't."
"You okay up there, love?" Kara asked.
"I want to sleep forever," Lena replied.
"I'm sorry I took so long to get back. Alex's stamina is definitely superhuman," Kara said.
Lena yawned. "That's a good thing. If I didn't wake up and go to work, I'd have been right here with her eventually. Okay, maybe not the whole time, but for longer than this."
"Tag me in," Kara remarked.
"Oh, trust me, I am. Just gonna enjoy this knot while it's there, though." Lena turned to give them a lazy smile.
Kara and Alex smiled back. Kara moved to give Lena comforting kisses all over her face. Lena returned them whenever they strayed close to her lips. She whined after a while. Alex had pulled out. Lena dropped to the mattress completely.
"I'm gonna become one with this bed," Lena muttered and yawned.
"You earned it." Alex leaned down, kissing Lena's shoulder.
Kara grinned. "I'll take it from here." Turning to Alex, she smirked. "You lie down. I'm on top this time."
Alex laughed. "Oh, no. Such a punishment."
Lena groaned. "No, wait, put me on my side, so I can watch."
There were some snickers, but they did as Lena requested. They made sure she was comfortable, propped up on Kara's fluffy pillow. Alex put a loose sheet over Lena, as Lena preferred to be covered if she was going to sleep. With Lena set up and happy, Kara climbed on Alex and enjoyed herself well into the night.
