Beyond Beta's Rejection

(Harper’s POV)

I looked at Elias and smiled. He smiled back and stroked my cheek.

“Harper, I-” he started to say, but I leaned forward and kissed him. Just barely a touch at first, but then as he kissed me back, I deepened it. I felt his tongue against my lips and opened my mouth for him. Elias pulled me down onto his knee, and I straddled him as he pulled my body tight against his bare chest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and followed his tongue with my own. I was naked apart from the t-shirt, and the feel of his increasing hardness beneath his slacks caused heat to stir in me as I rubbed against him. I pulled away from the k**s and began kissing along his neck, nibbling here and there as I went. I moved against his pants, knowing that I was getting aroused.

Elias rubbed his nose against my neck, and I shivered as the scent of my excitement reached him.

“Goddess,” he muttered and grabbed my hair in his hand and pulled me enough so I could see his face. The desire in his eyes was enough to make me tighten, and we both started to pant.

“Are you sure?” Elias panted, and I nodded. “I mean it. After this, you’re mine. I could never let you go, Harper, do you understand?” I nodded again, the desire, the need taking over my ability to speak. I just knew that I needed Elias right now. I didn’t care what it meant, but he already had me, mind, body, and soul. There was nothing else he could take.

“We can’t complete the bond tonight. You’re too weak,” Elias said as I tried to get to his mouth again. “But soon.”

“Geez, Elias, shut up!” I exclaimed, and he chuckled. How was it that he was so level-headed? And yet, I was almost foaming at the mouth to feel him on me and in me. He stood up with me still clinging to him, and I wrapped my legs around his body as he moved to the bed. He tried to lay me down, but I refused to let him go and pulled him down on top of me and between my legs. Elias managed to disentangle from me and lifted me enough to slide the t-shirt off over my head. He began kissing down my body until he reached my breasts. I felt his breath tickle against one of my n*****s before feeling his tongue flicking at them. I gasped at the feel, and a warm current rushed through my body. I arched my back as his mouth covered my n****e and his tongue swirled around it.

Elias ran a hand down my torso, hooked it under my leg, and hooked it before his hand continued to between my legs and ran it against the outside of my already wet folds. I gasped again as his fingers found my clit and began rubbing slowly in circles. Each rotation increasing pressure. I grabbed at his hair as the heat intensified in my body. The sparks from his touch were already bringing me close to my first o****m. I cried out as it hit and tried to push myself more into his hand.

“Elias, please,” I cried. “I need you.” I cried out again as he bit down on my n****e. “Goddess, please,” I pleaded, and he rolled his eyes to look up at me, and I almost lost it again. Elias let go of my n****e and watched me as he slowly pushed a finger inside me. I saw the desire in his eyes increase to full-on l**t as he felt how excited he was making me. He g*****d at the feeling as I tried to hold on. But I could feel another wave about to hit as he pulled his finger out and pushed in two the next time. I cried out and gripped his arm as he began a slow, steady rhythm. I wanted to both feel him speed up and also take his time so I could savour each sweet stroke of his fingers as he watched me writhe under his control. I could feel the heat beginning to rise again. Elias looked down at me, a glint of something in his eye, and I felt as he curled his fingers inside me and smashed them against me inside. I screamed as pleasure washed over me and it felt like fireworks went off in my head. Elias didn’t stop the action, and I came again before I had recovered from the last one. He pulled out his fingers, and I lay in a shaking mess as I basked in the haze of the post-o****m.

Elias moved off the bed, and I followed him with my eyes as I saw him unbutton his pants. I sat up quickly and grabbed his hands before he could finish. Kneeling in front of him on the bed, I began to k**s down his chest slowly as I played my hands over the waistband of his pants. I mimicked his own movement when I reached his n****e and took it into my mouth and sucked, applying gentle pressure with my teeth. I heard Elias hiss and looked up to see him looking down at me, his eyes almost full shade of gold. I unhooked the final button of his slacks and pushed them down past his h**s. Elias stepped back away from me and pulled the slacks off. He had clearly forgotten underwear after the shift, and he was now standing naked in front of me. I looked him up and down his toned torso, and my eyes rested on his large and very ready member. I bit my l*p as he moved closer, and he cupped my chin so that I was looking up at him. He leaned down and kissed me again, and I wrapped my arms around his neck again as we deepened the k**s once more. Elias pushed back onto the bed so that I was laid back down, and he was positioned between my legs. I felt his tip rub against my entrance and m****d from desire. Elias broke the k**s and looked down at me.

“Harper Kirby, in the name of the goddess, I love you with everything I have and everything I am.” He rubbed his nose against mine. “Whatever is mine belongs to you, from now until forever, do you understand?” I nodded again. I didn’t know what to say. I could feel the weight of his words, and I felt them too. I was his. Everything about me was only his. It always had been. He didn’t need to claim me in the bond. I was already his. But I didn’t know how to say what I felt. I tried to convey my feelings, but I choked up and could feel tears in my eyes.

The head of his member grazed my entrance again. I m****d again and looked up into his eyes, which were full of adoration. His eyes were very much filled with the gold of his rank again and raw, and I could feel the need burning through his body. I nodded and in one quick forceful motion, he thrust himself deep into me. I arched my back and cried out once more. He stayed still within me, his eyes closed as he controlled his breathing and himself. He opened his eyes again and smiled down at me.

“Harper, I love you,” he said again before moving back out again, not getting all the way before thrusting back into me again. His pace became more fluid and quicker, and he found my neck with his mouth nipping and biting along my collar bone.

I honestly thought I was completely done from the foreplay but was surprised to feel the build-up of tension inside me again. Only this was different. There was something more carnal, more feral about it this time, and I could feel something surging through my body, getting stronger and stronger with each powerful thrust. I felt like I was too big for my own skin and desperately wanted to be set free from what was binding me to this prison. The feeling got stronger and stronger, and just as I felt like I was going to pass out, I erupted. I saw explosions of colour as I screamed his name. I felt like I couldn’t possibly be contained in this shell anymore as wave after wave of o****m ripped through me over and over.

I dug my nails into Elias’ back, riding the ecstasy, and he pounded into me over and over again. I heard him m**n my name before. With a final thrust and a roar, he climaxed inside of me. He collapsed onto me, panting, his member still inside me, twitching and sending smaller aftershocks through my body.

We stayed there connected in the body for I don’t know how long, as we both took time to come back down to our bodies. At some point, he lifted his head and looked at me with glazed eyes before kissing me on the nose. I smiled up at him, feeling so complete and so loved at this moment. He moved and pulled himself out, and I felt empty suddenly.

Elias collapsed beside me on the bed, and I pushed my aching body to curl up against him. I felt his arm loop under me, and he pulled me closer. Somehow he managed to pull the covers over our naked, trembling bodies, and I began to slip into the post-shift and post o****m hazed sleep. I felt Elias tight his arm around me further, so I was almost completely laid on his chest, and I felt him k**s my head as his hand played up and down my back. I fell asleep cocooned in the warmth of his body and knowing and feeling loved.
