The bite was something amazing and scary.
It was like an urban legend that divided crowds. The older and traditional abhorred the bite, for it is an unbreakable bond that could culminate in regrets if people did not think well who to bite. Knowing that someone was bitten was a hot gossip for the elders who lived in small towns.
For being so loud, it was common for the new generation to be curious about what the bite was and what it felt like to be connected to a person.
Jake was also wondering, and now he had the answer.
When he was on the court, a shiver took his spine. As a bad feeling. Automatically Jake looked at the bleachers where his friends were, but he did not see Nathaniel.
That bad feeling made him leave the court sneakily without being noticed, and run until he found his omega. Even after meeting him, Jake still felt uncomfortable with that feeling.
But when he heard Nathaniel say that Theodore was beautiful, it was like a puzzle piece being fitted.
— Beauty guys, we will meet again at 3p.m. to face the Akaguia. I do not want to know about delays, understood?
Coach Santiago dismissed the team to take a break, although Jake did not need that. However, it would not be foolish to miss the chance.
Quickly the alpha ran through the gym going to the bleachers where Nathaniel was with his friends. Hugging him from behind, Jake kissed the omega's neck and whispered.
— Why we don't go over there?
Nathaniel was startled by the sudden alpha's arrival, but the grimace he made for Jake was really funny. Why did he always make that face as if Jake was the world's meanest person? It made Jake act even more meaner.
— Go there... Where?
— Over there... you know...?
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and then held the alpha's hand and pulled him through the hallways of that huge gym. The bite behind the alpha's ear tingled, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Nathaniel was feeling uncomfortable, and as his alpha, it was his duty — and pleasure — to make him feel good.
He just did not expect his boyfriend to take the initiative and took him into the bathroom and locked themselves in a cabin.
— It's climbing too fast — Jake whispered, trying as hard as he can to control his smile.
Nathaniel lowered his mask, narrowing his eyes to Jake.
— You're the one who called me to a more private place.
The sound of people entering the bathroom made both shut up. Jake raised his eyebrow to Nathaniel, as a silent question if he would actually do something there. But the bite on his neck kept tingling, signaling that Nathaniel was still troubled.
Sliding his fingers across the omega's face, Jake completely removed the mask from his face and put it in his pocket.
— I rather you without mask.
— You know well why I use it.
— But it keeps me from kissing you, so I don't like it.
Nathaniel laughed incredulously and pushed the alpha's shoulders to sit on the toilet seat. Sitting on his lap surpresing the alpha, the omega left his arms on Jake's shoulders.
— Don't play with me, Jake.
Jake's hands slid down the back of the omega, going up to the bar of his shirt, lifting it up enough for him to feel Nathaniel's warm skin on the tips of his fingers. There, the alpha opened a smile when his partner shuddered completely.
— Why do you think I'm playing? Actually, I feel like you want to play with me.
Nathaniel's cheeks turned red, but he still had that cold look. He probably felt too shy to admit it, even though the two of them knew that the bite had already exposed his intentions.
Without receiving a direct answer, Jake would just follow the lines.
Approaching his face to the target's neck, Jake began to kiss him, taking all the care of the world to avoid marking him with hickeys. At least not where he would be exposed to others. The touch of his warm hands continued behind his back, gently groping and spreading chills and making Nathaniel eager for more.
Jake knew how to satisfy his omega. He felt at heart that he needed to make Nathaniel feel on his skin how much he was wanted and loved.
Holding Nathaniel's arm gently, Jake bent over kissing his scars on the right arm. His lips reached his wrist, where the kiss there and the tip of his tongue caused chills in Nathaniel. Raising his eyes clear to his omega, Jake knew he was providing a vision so much to him.
Intertwining his fingers and kissing his hand, Jake enjoyed every Nathaniel's curves. At least the curves of his arm.
So, Nathaniel took the initiative to kiss Jake once more. As when they were in the bleachers, it was a kiss somewhat clumsy and desperate. Jake felt the urgency in Nathaniel, and that's why he took the lead and held the omega's neck, slowing down the pace of that kiss and making it deep and intense when their tongues met.
Jake's fingers stroked his back gently, while his other arm wrapped around Nathaniel's waist and pressed him against itself. Now that omega was completely tied against him, and still being kissed with passion.
Gradually, Nathaniel's pheromones began to wrap the alpha, and cover it with possessiveness. Not that Jake would hate it, on the contrary, but he needed to keep control because he could not stay there for long.
It was very easy to get lost in such intense sensations.
Jake's lips then went to the scar on his face. Kissing them, the alpha lingered there knowing that Nathaniel certainly shuddered and would be sensitive. It was the same thing when he kissed the scar on his chest, just a breath and Nathaniel would shudder all over. Although that Jake was careful to avoid hurting him.
— Hngh...
Nathaniel's groan satisfies Jake. Passing the tip of his tongue through the scar, the alpha gently kissed it afterwards. Moving away to do the same with the scar on the other side of his face, the alpha did not fail to rub his thumb across his face in a caress.
Nathaniel's breathing was fast and trembling, and the way his hands were squeezing Jake's blouse signaled that he was feeling a lot of things with all those kisses. But what really mattered was the fact that the bite on his neck lessened the tingling.
It was difficult to control when the bittersweet smell became more intense.
Jake didn't want to lose control now. He needed to be there for the match, but at the same time he wanted to stay there in his omega's arms.
Besides, it was hard not to kiss Nathaniel.
Seeing his expressions becoming soft, leaving behind that cold mask he usually wore, was an invitation for Jake to continue. As if he said that Jake had this power over Nathaniel.
Their mouths met again in a passionate kiss. Both being careful not to let it go too far. Wrapping his arms in Nathaniel, Jake welcomed him comfortably and there he made clear his affection and love for the omega.
A few -long- minutes later, the two were back in the bleachers. Nathaniel wore the mask hiding his shame while Jake smiled completely proud of his achievement.
After all, the bite no longer tingled.
Matheus and Guilherme looked at the couple with suspicion, and although it would be ideal to pretend not to have noticed anything, those two were pure curiosity.
— What did you do?
Jake widened his smile. Flowers were missing from his head, so happy he was.
— Nothing much, just a productive conversation.
— Talk my ass... Urf — Matheus got a elbow from Jake.
— What's up, brother!!! — A blonde alpha appeared hugging Jake by the shoulder. Milles' smile was so big that it could be blinding — Ready to lick my feet?
— Hah, don't count with that. And what is all this joy?
— Hehe, you know what it is.... — Milles looked back, and the others also followed his gaze, where they saw Theodore and the others sitting in the bleachers — I got a news just now.
— News? — Jake bowed his head.
— Ah... is the guy from the pharmacy — Nathaniel commented lightly, and Jake looked curious at his boyfriend — When I went to buy the suppressors he gave me some tips. Said he was the boyfriend of the captain of Akaguia.
— Eh? Did you know that pinscher? — Nathaniel made a face to Jake, pulling laughs from Milles — Relax, we know each other for years so he knows that this is his nickname.
— You're weird.
— This weird belongs to you, don't forget. But hey, what's the news?
Milles opened a smile from ear to ear, becoming annoying so silly cheerful that he was. But at the same time Jake was anxious.
— I'll be a dad.
— WHAT?!!!
Milles laughed again, covering his face. At that moment he looked like Jake acting like a fool. Wasn't this proof that they were really from the same family? Although Jake and Milles had many similarities.
— That's it. He took the pregnancy test while I was playing and just told me.
— Congratulations, brother!! — Jake smiled hugging his cousin — Wow, this is great!! I'm happy for you.
— I'm also happy. I tamed a pinscher.
— And will have little pinschers... You're so screwed.
— I am, right?!
The conversation group ended up increasing when the other friends of Jake — aka ex-boyfriend — approached to hug Milles. Nathaniel went to the side of Guilherme and Matheus observing that interaction between the group, and Jake talked with them so happily that it proves the friendship they had.
— Since you're going to be a father, how about getting out of the competition? — Jake was playing, pulling laughter from his cousin — You have to be a present father, you know?!
— Hah, if this walking pole does not finish you, I myself go into the court to do the job — Nicolas replied with his usual mocking smile.
— Don't say that, I have nightmares about you.
Matheus and Guilherme looked at Nathaniel, who was neutral. Jake looked at the boyfriend too and winked at him reaching for his omega. Nathaniel held his hand promptly, and was pulled into Jake's arms quickly.
— While you are here, I will present right. Nath, this here is my cousin, Milles, my brother-in-law Nicolas (but you can ignore him since he's short, you won't even see him right) — Jake presented, getting a growl of the mentioned short — And they are Theodore and Gabriel, and little Kauã, their son.
— Haha, we meet again — Theodore smiled angelically.
— Hugging like this.... hmm.
Jake and Milles smiled equally, like two shameless kids. That should be the trademark of the Mckenzie.
— Nathaniel is my boyfriend — Jake presented holding Nathaniel's hand and kissing his fingers — My omega.
Nicolas crossed his arms and smiled sideways. Now they saw the scar on Nathaniel's face, it was clear that they tried to disguise the nuisance and try not to stare at him too much. Although Nicolas seemed to like it even more.
— What a sad end you enter the Mckenzie. By chance, do you already hate them?
Nathaniel tilted his head, but Jake was quicker to respond.
— He's already threatened my mother in her face, saying that he would destroy the family if she kept bugging ys. Is that enough for you?
Those friends of Jake widened their eyes in full surprise, which was no surprise to Guilherme and Matheus who already knew the whole story. Maybe they even felt a little too proud that Nathaniel looked like someone brave enough to go against a Mckenzie.
— Bwahahahahaha! — Nicolas burst into laughter, wiping the tears from his eyes — I liked you, I wish I could have seen it.
— Have you Seriously threatened my uncles? Damn... Even I've afraid of them.
Nathaniel arched his eyebrow.
— Afraid of them? Why should I?
— The Mckenzies are really scary — Theodore commented with a bit of shame, and looked at Jake — Well, unless they have changed.
— Nope, they remain the same as always. Nath that is just better.
— Hah, if you need help to set fire to the house, scratch a car, enrage someone who has that last name, count me — Nicolas smile.
— Nico, don't say that or people will get it wrong...
— Guys the talk is good, but the game will start — Matheus intervened holding the collar of Jake's shirt — And you go to the court, no leaks.
— C'mon!!!
— I don't care, let's go. Since Milles is going to play and he's all happy, we have to massacre him in the game. So you enter the court.
— I will play? Why not warned before?!!
— You'll do well — Theodore smiled, maybe saying that just to annoy Milles a little.
While they finished the conversation, Nathaniel looked at Jake and sighed low holding his shirt and pulling him to get his attention. And the moment the alpha looked at him, Nathaniel kissed him in front of everyone.
— Good luck, I'll be watching you — Nathaniel released Jake and turned to go up to the bleachers.
Everyone followed the joker out on the scene as a protagonist of a story. Jake covered his mouth and sighed heavily.
— What got into him? — Guilherme asked — He is quieter than usually is.
Jake opened a smile touching his own mouth.
— He is jealous.
— And that's good?
— Ah, for me it is — The alpha smiled, feeling his heart jump inside the chest — Not every day that my omega shows possessive. Haaa, I need to win now. I want to receive compliments from my omega.
No one there could understand why Jake liked to see that side of Nathaniel, but one thing was certain: he knew how to calm his omega. In addition, it was the first time that Jake saw him with jealousy, despite being very well hidden in his inexpressiveness usual.
For Nathaniel maybe that was a feeling he needed to explore right, but for Jake it was an invitation. An invitation to make their relationship even stronger.
