For ricochetingbullets; surprise wedding date

[starless_sky]

 
continued from here

Normally weddings were boring for Noctis. Too many people. Too much attention. He wasn't the target audience for weddings. He was a great dancer but he didn't like to show it in public, he didn't like schmoozing with people he barely knew, didn't like being held hostage by someone's grandma asking when he's getting married. This time he'd have to vehemently insist he may not ever get married. After this whole thing with Mr.Poindexter, Noct was pretty sure he never wanted to marry at all.

He'd told his friends after they noticed his paranoia. It had been horrible explaining it and they tried to support him but it just wasn't adding up. In the eyes of society Dex did nothing wrong. Noct tried to explain that is exactly the point, that Dex was acting in a way that seemed innocent to make him sound crazy. Who breaks into someone's apartment to steal things only to return them later? And not only return them but to talk to him and stay over and fuck him? Noctis couldn't even call it rape out loud. He always submitted. In those moments with Dex he wanted it the same as he wanted it at the hotel. He never went to the police or a doctor after... though he started birth control. 

He started birth control! For the guy raping him! For his stalker! He said it was for himself but... he just... wasn't ready for that and if anything happened. If he got pregnant, Dex would never leave. 

His friends found all this charming. What a dashing guy! What a rogue! 'He must really love you Noct! He must be smitten! We're so jealous!'

No matter how he tried to explain it was messed up to break into someone's house, because he never gave Dex his address let alone a key, his friends didn't see it as weird. It was just how alphas were when they wanted someone. So many omegas would give anything to be pursued like that. Isn't he grateful? Doesn't he see how LUCKY he is?? Noct tried to tell them this wasn't a fairytale but it fell on deaf ears. 

"When are you going to bring him around? When are we gonna meet this guy?"

"My stalker? Never hopefully."

"UGH. Noct. You do NOT have a stalker. You have a boyfriend. Stop being disrespectful."

"Disrespectful??"

"How do you think he'd feel if he knew you were calling him that behind his back? Alphas value respect from their omegas. You're new to this so maybe you don't know but you have to learn how to talk about and around him. It could get you in trouble." 

 

It was concluded that Noct was simply new to dating and given his general aloofness, he was not adapting well to having a partner. So they gave him grace about it. Grace! They gave HIM grace! They gave him advice about 'how to talk to alphas' and how alphas expect a certain deference from their partners and 'how to be an empowered omega while also being a trad wife omega'. It was gross. He felt gross. He needed better friends. 

But his friends were good people... they wouldn't ALL think that, right? 

 

So he was anxious about getting through today without being asked why he didn't bring a plus one. He was here at the venue all dolled up in his suit and his hair gelled just so. He looked good and he was loitering the grounds trying to find a place to be alone. It was gorgeous. This wedding was held at the botanical gardens with the main building rented out for the reception. It had luxurious lounge rooms, a dining hall, a kitchen, and a second floor where the bridal party were cloistered. Outside people were milling about, drinking already. The weather was perfect for a wedding so people were chatty.

Relatives and friends were arriving in greater abundance. More and more people were shuffling about, bored, looking for conversation. Noct ducked around a corner before he could be spotted and pretended to be admiring some climbing roses. He just had to make it to the ceremony and no one would talk to him and then he could feign intoxication until it was polite to leave. 

And hopefully Dex wasn't in his apartment right now re-appropriating his stuff. 

Comments

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex lit up when Noctis mentioned the possibility of more weddings. With him, it was give an inch and he'd take a mile, so he automatically assumed he was now invited to any and all future events as a plus-one until the end of time. "I'd like that a lot," he told Noctis and for once he was being honest. Dex had never known what it was like to have a family before and he felt that he could definitely grow used to this feeling.

"I will," he told Noctis. "I have excellent taste." One of the advantages of being so desperate to be seen as normal is that Dex stayed abreast of all the current trends and traditions. That desire to be perfect would make him go to great lengths to also find just the right gift for someone.

Dex smiled in a winning fashion at Noctis's friend, keeping the tone light and joking. "Of course. I'm one of a kind and I'm sure Noctis was worried at first. But he doesn't have to any longer. I've found my Omega and Noctis has found his Alpha." He placed a hand on the small of Noctis's back with his free hand, pulling him in so that he was flush was Dex's chest. Then he kissed him sweetly, knowing Noct wasn't about to make a fuss with so many people around.

"You two are so lucky to have one another!" came the wistful reply.

Dex grinned when he pulled away from Noctis. "I hope you're able to find someone just as wonderful and special." He knew Noctis was the only one who would know it for the stealth insult it really was, given how he knew the real way Noctis felt about him. "Okay, Noct and I should find our seats. We'll see you later."

He led Noct over to his seat. Word had gotten around that Noctis's boyfriend had come with him. While there was a few tut-tuts over Noctis being so gauche as to not inform the bride that he was going to have a plus-one, the staff had smoothly already set up another seat next to Noctis for Dex. As they waited for the waiters to come around to ask their preference of which of the three options for dinner each of them wanted. Dex took the opportunity to order for Noctis, taking even that small choice away from him. As they waited for the food to arrive, Dex started to get a little more handsy and up in Noctis's personal space, knowing the drinks in his system would start to lower his inhibitions. He leaned in close, whispering in Noctis's ear. "You look really good tonight," he purred, not hiding the lustful tone in his voice. When the rest of those at the table weren't looking, he pulled Noctis's shirt out from where it was tucked into his pants and slipped his hand underneath to rest on the muscular expanse of Noctis's abs, running his fingers slowly across his skin.

He only let up when the food arrived. "Eat something. You'll need some energy for the long night ahead," Dex said, making it clear they would only be leaving the wedding when he wanted them to. He patted Noctis fondly on the shoulder, letting his hand linger in a gesture equal parts sweet and possessive. Then he walked off.

When he returned, he replaced Noctis's water glass with yet another drink. This one was different than the last two with an unusual green color to it. "Signature cocktail to celebrate the bride and groom," he explained. "Drink." Mixing liquors was usually a bad idea but right now Dex wanted Noctis good and drunk. It would make him much more pliable and easy to control.

He had gotten one for himself but was pacing himself much more leisurely in drinking it, seeing as how he was only on his first while telling Noctis to start working on his third. His entire attention was focused on Noctis, though anytime someone engaged Dex is conversation he immediately switched on his 'perfect Alpha' persona.

[starless_sky]

He was going to show up with or without an invitation, wasn't he? So what did it matter? Not may as well pretend this was on his terms. While he was at it he could pretend he didn't like that happy look on Dex's face.

"Is that why you invade my apartment at your leisure? Because you have good taste?" yet he knew Dex was going to win everyone over by getting the hot new item next time. He couldn't be bothered with trends so Dex putting in the effort to shop for the 'it' thing would likely put him overtop of Noct in gift-giving in the family. They'd love Dex. They'd want him to come to everything.

Noct was quietly grumpy having to listen to Dex win all his friends over. He wasn't ready for the kiss. He was trying to bite into his crab cake when he was pulled in and suddenly they were kissing. He froze. He blushed. Then he glowered. Oh wonderful and special didn't even begin to cover it, fucker.

Not to mention Dex made him look like an ass for bringing a plus-one. He was happy to excuse himself given the faux pas and just go home but sadly the staff was all too happy to fix it. Crisis averted! Dammit.

Dex ordered for him and he shouldn't be surprised yet he scoffed at him. "That's not what I wanted. Aren't you supposed to be nice to me? Wait... wait, Dex. Stop. Not here." the purr in his ear did things to him. It woke his inner omega, called to that part of his heat-brain that wanted Dex. It also sent shivers down his spine and not the good kind. He knew they'd have sex and he knew Dex would fuck him until he was finished. No matter how long that took or what appointment he missed because of it.

"Dex. Please... no, not here." he tried to bat his hands away but the alcohol made him less than graceful. Dex's hand was up his shirt and he hissed at the intrusion. "Not here. Dammit, Dex, my family is here." Nobody noticed or if they did they wrote it off as love being in the air and Dex feeling amorous.

He shoved his shirt back in his pants while he was gone and then the drink came. He reached for his water glass as it went away. "Hey no... I don't want any more. What even is this? I'm not drinking it." he sniffed it and winced. Gross.

But then again, did he want to be sober while Dex raped him later? He sighed and took a healthy swig of his drink while Dex was glowing as the favorite guest. He was unreal. It was like Noctis wasn't even worthy of this guy!

Noct couldn't take another minute. He scooted his chair back and stood up. "I'm gonna go dance." he was loose now, feeling like he didn't care what people thought of him. He headed to the dance floor and started moving with the music. People cheered, he smiled, he sighed in relief. He was alone, away from Dex, in his own world. Fuck this wedding. Fuck this day.

The alcohol hadn't fully hit yet so he was still good on his feet. He has moves too. The guy is smooth.

[ricochetingbullets]

"That's a no spelled Y-E-S," Dex purred in Noctis's ear as he continued to move his hand, moving it upwards towards Noctis's chest. He could feel the heat coming off of Noctis's skin and knew his mate was responding in just the way Dex wanted him to. In some situations, he wouldn't have been nearly so blatant with his possessive affection. He's not a barbarian and knows how to follow societal norms. But at a wedding it was a given love was going to be in the air for every happy couple there, so he could get away with a lot more.

Dex let Noctis go off to the dance floor, curious since he'd never seen his Omega dance before. He kept his eyes on him for a few minutes and liked what he saw. His Omega was so very pretty and graceful as he was out there dancing. Most guys, Dex included, didn't have much in the way of dance moves. He'd never really seen the need for any. The only reason he would have was to attract Omegas his way to fuck and Dex already found it easy enough to do that. He found his lust rising as he watched Noctis out there moving. Suddenly, he understood why some birds did mating dances to attract another, because hot damn this was making him want Noctis all the more.

He ate his dinner and drank down part of the cocktail, just enough to give him a bit of a buzz. Several people asked him why he wasn't out there with Noctis. He demurred at first, saying without having to fake any of the awkwardness in his voice that he wasn't very good at dancing. Then the DJ finally switched it to a slower song, one clearly designed for couples. Now this was something that Dex could actually dance to without looking like a complete goober.

He got up, catching Noctis before he could exit the dance floor. "Can I have this dance?" He asked, but as with most things when it came to Noctis, he'd already made the decision for both of us. He wrapped a hand around Noctis's waist, pulling him in close while holding his hand in his other.

[starless_sky]

Somehow the admission made Dex more likeable. He was relatable. Honestly he'd been a bit too perfect so far but the people at the table all smiled. Finally, Mr. Perfect had at least one flaw!

"You should take a dance class with Noctis! He'd love that!"

Noct was trying to leave the dance floor as Dex showed up. Lucky for them both he's an excellent follow. He can translate Dex's gestures into dance moves and really make Dex look good. The subtle communication through bodies is what made dance intimate. It's how people could fall in love without words.

Of course, Noct's furious at having to pretend.

"Do I have a choice?" as Dex put his arm around him like a chain.

The rhythm was slow, the song was romantic. He tried not to let it become a hug but all these songs ended up with couples hugging and swaying. Or talking.

"Did you get what you wanted out of today? You met my family. You saw a wedding, was it everything you hoped and dreamed?" he's being sarcastic but from the guest tables it looked like two lovers chatting while dancing.

He could feel his family's approving gaze as they danced together. This was supposed to be a brief respite. How was Dex twisting every single moment to be in his favor?

He sighed, resting his head on Dex's chest. He was done with today. The alcohol is creeping in. He's tired. He's ready to get it over with and go to sleep.

He barely heard the "awww" from the crowd. He looked like he was blissful, not worn out.

They still had to send the bride and groom off and they had to get home. Noct couldn't drive himself at this point. He was under no illusions who he'd be going home with.

The bride. The bride who was making the rounds and wanted to see them. To hug Noct and kiss his cheek and to look at Dex. "Is this him??? Omg hiiii! Thank you for cominggg, I'm so glad you could make it!" she hugged too hard but she whispered in Dex's ear.

"You're coming to the family vacation, aren't you? Don't let Noct skip."

[ricochetingbullets]

"Yes, actually, this has been a great day," Dex told him. He sounded completely sincere. When Noctis laid his head on his chest, he let go of his hand and rested it on the back of his head, planting a kiss on top of it. "Ours will have to be even better," he told Noctis. Dex had never really had many concrete ideas on what kind of wedding he wanted but now he certainly did.

Dex let go of Noctis and hugged the bride back when she came over. "Of course we'll both come." Dex told her soothingly. "I..." He deliberately hesitated, adding just the right amount of wistfulness to his voice that spoke of a sad story without having to go into any real details about his life. "...I never had a family to do all of this with before." Despite all his lies and manipulations, that part was genuine. Dex had long since given up dream of having a big family to celebrate with. This was all he'd ever wanted and he was never going to give it up now.

The bride's face twisted in sympathy. "Ohhhh..." She said as it clicked in her head what he meant by that. Then she brightened up. "Well, we'll all be more than happy to be your new family!" Dex knew she'd spread the word about Noctis's poor sweet Alpha who had been all alone for so long. "Alright, I gotta greet the rest of the guests. You both have fun now, okay?"

"Oh I can assure you we both will," Dex said with a wink that made her laugh. Once she'd gone off, he turned back towards Noctis and went back to dancing with him. He leaned in, nuzzling him gently. "I really like your family." That was true enough. "I'm gonna come with you now to all the family gatherings." One more thing Noctis couldn't keep solely to himself any longer. As if to seal that promise, he leaned in and kissed Noctis passionately. He knew the alcohol had to be hitting him by now, for he could taste it on his breath. It wouldn't be long now before he took Noctis off to fuck him.

[starless_sky]

He was feeling sluggish. His brain was all fuzzy. He thought Dex sounded honest but who the fuck could tell with that guy? He's an excellent liar.

The kiss looked cute but it made Noct's skin crawl and the comment on weddings made him open his eyes. He felt sober. He wasn't but he felt it.

"You... Ours? No. No no no. I'm not marrying you. Are you crazy?" yeah, he is. Noctis knew better than to say that. "Why? What problem do you have which marriage will solve?" because he's got no problem with getting sex or coming to his apartment.

He'd have stormed off or fought Dex if not for his cousin's arrival. He watched it happen for the hundredth time. Dex worked his magic and his family wanted to believe. They wanted to think he was everything and more. His cousin loved a sob story and being the hero. Obviously she's about to tell everyone they just HAVE to give Dex a warm welcome on their vacation.

He watched Dex give that carefully structured sob story. He wanted to call it out, to slap that dumb sad look off his face but the booze made him slow. By the time the words came to him the moment had passed. His cousin left and it was just Dex again.

"What if I don't want to go to every event? Or any of them?" he is talking too loud, he's drunk. He barely got the reply out before Dex kissed him hard. He stopped dancing, trying to handle that kiss. It's such an invasion at an event like this and yet it's doing things to his brain. He's so used to this.

Dammit he hates that he's used to this.

He's slow to pull away. Not from romance but from intoxication and dread. He didn't want to look at Dex's smug expression.

He had to lean on Dex now. His balance was off. He needed help to get to a chair. His face felt hot.

"I can't dance anymore. I need to sit." surely Dex will help. The perfect Alpha wouldn't miss the opportunity right? Noct just wanted to sleep.

"Or maybe lay down."

[ricochetingbullets]

"Your grandparents are old-fashioned. You said so yourself. Our kits will only be accepted by the family once we've tied the knot. So we are going to get married" To get what he wanted, Dex was willing to do anything. There was no rule he wouldn't break or boundary he wouldn't cross over in his quest to get to his end goal. In this case, it was a comfortable life with a traditional Alpha/Omega setup and breeding that Omega to have a bunch of little kits riding around.

He patted Noctis sympathetically on the shoulder when he said he needed to sit. He looped an arm around him and led him off the dance floor. "C'mon. Let's sit you down for a minute." He took them back over to their table, pulling his chair in close to Noctis, rubbing his back slowly and rubbing a cloth napkin on the outside of a glass so he could dab at Noctis's face and cool him down a little.

Noctis's Aunt Julia came over. "Oh my, is he feeling alright?" There was both concern in her voice and yet the bright gerbil eyes of a family member looking for some sort of scandal to bring back to the rest of the family.

"Oh, he's fine. Just got a little thirsty and overheated dancing," Dex answered for him, keeping up a bright tone and the 'caring boyfriend' act. "You know how warm those bright lights can get out there."

Julia tutted, clucking her tongue in sympathy. "Tsk tsk. You need to remember to hydrate, Noctis." Then she was off again, nothing more gossip-worthy to share other than her nephew overindulging at the bar, which was hardly a surprise happening at a wedding.

Yet even with all these caring gestures he kept doing, as soon as Julia was gone, he pushed Noctis's unfinished drink toward him and pulled his water glass away out of reach. "Drink," he told him with that 'Alpha rumble' to his tone that he knew Noctis as an Omega would be hard-pressed to disobey worn down as he was by the night's events and alcohol in his system. Noctis would be lucky to stand up without help by the time he was done with it. "And then we can find a nice dark corner..." He didn't have to finish that sentence, his eyes gleaming brightly with undisguised lust. Noctis knew what he wanted.

Dex had already planned things out down to the letter. He'd seen how the second floor had been reserved for the bridal party before the ceremony had begun. Since then, it had been cordoned off, but just with ropes at the stairs and elevator. There wasn't even a lock that would require him putting forth effort to pick. Once he had Noctis up there, no one would be able to find them, most people not even thinking to look up there if they noticed the two of them were gone for any length of time.

[starless_sky]

Dex wants to be a family man which didn't match him being a fucking psycho. Noct should have figured it would be like this. "I won't do it. I'll find a way, I won't be tied to you forever. I swear it." somehow he would break free.

"For our kids' sake I hope I'm infertile." he isn't.

So he was seated again and Aunt Julia came up pretending to be concerned and something in the way she looked, Noct saw her for the first time. Has she always been predatory while looking for dirt on people? Had he never seen it before now? Her eyes, they weren't exactly like Dex's but they were close. She was hungry.

That cunt.

Oh god, Dex might fit in here. Fucking A, how was this his life? He sighed and leaned into the cloth napkin.

"Yeah thanks..." he said to her retreating form and then he groaned. His glass returned. The green mystery cocktail Stella chose. Or Dex said she chose. Who knew what was in this.

"Ugh... no. I don't want any more. Another sip and the rest is gonna come back up." said as he accepted the glass and brought it to his lips.

"A dark corner? Dex... you're gonna get caught, you're gonna ruin your shiny new reputation. You really want that?" said a bit too loudly but they had dance music going right now. No one heard him but his 'date'.

"I'm gonna throw up on you, how are you gonna explain that?" he turned his head, looking a bit green but he wasn't sick.

Of course, he didn't think about upstairs. There were plenty of rooms, most of which were untouched by the bridal party. Some were storage, stacked high with extra chairs and folding tables. Some were empty small dressing rooms with a couch, and one was a big bathroom. Plus Stella's room which was messy with luggage, makeup, and all her and her bridesmaids' effects.

"Does it have to be up here? Really? We can just leave. I'm gonna go to sleep after this."

[ricochetingbullets]

"You can try. But let's face it. You don't have what it takes to do anything to be free of me. Where I, on the other hand, have no limits when it comes to making you mine." Noctis would have had to be a psychopath as bad off as Dex was in order to get onto the same level as he was at. He leaned forward, cupping Noctis's face with one hand in a sweet gesture. But his words were hard as diamonds. "You'd better hope you're not. Or I can make life very miserable for you." If Noctis thought that things were bad now, he had no idea how much worse Dex could make things for him.

After Noctis took one more sip, Dex continued with his ministrations. Really, he was just making sure Noctis was well-enough to stand mostly under his own power. Dex could do the rest. He laughed softly at Noctis's warning he might ruin his reputation, the sound dark and a little eerie. "You know better than anyone how sneaky I can be. No one will notice a single thing. We'll never get caught. Now come on and be a good little Omega." Dex always got what he wanted and what he wanted right now was sex with Noctis in a place where there was the thrill and danger of being caught. He gave Noctis a fond pat on the back. "Don't worry. Once we're done, I'll drive you home." Though he made no promises about not assaulting Noctis yet again either once he was passed out in bed from all the drinking he'd done.

He looped his arm in Noctis's in what looked to everyone else like a companionable manner and started walking off with him, making sure they moved at just a fast enough pace that Noctis would have to keep focused on not stumbling over his own two feet and leaning into Dex while he was led somewhere rather than making any verbal protests.

Dex led them upstairs, deliberately choosing the stairs so Noctis had to focus on the steps, and also so the elevator wouldn't aggravate any of his nausea. It'd ruin the mood fucking an Omega stinking of vomit. He was finding a dark amusement in how bad off Noctis was. He was so pliable and easy to work with now, making the roaring instincts of his Alpha brain spring to life again. The arm looped through Noctis's let go, instead moving to pull out Noctis's shirt again, forcing the other man to lean on him in order to stay upright. His hand went again underneath the shirt, absentmindedly moving across Noctis's stomach and chest to start riling him up in preparation for sex. He multi-tasked as he did so, opening up doors and closing them again as he looked for something that would be suitable. When he found a dressing room with a couch on it, he smiled, that Alpha smile he'd had the first time he'd made Noctis pliable enough to come with him on the street. "Perfect," he purred out.

He pulled Noctis into the room, only turning on the row bubble lights around the mirror rather than the overhead lights, which would be easier to notice. It lent the room a soft glow, something that could lend it a romantic air....or a sinister one. He led Noctis over to the couch with an almost courteous air before abruptly shoving him down onto it so he'd be face-up towards the Alpha. Dex immediately got on top, straddling him as he pulled his suit jacket off and letting it drop to the floor. Dex leaned in, kissing Noctis with the possessive air of an Alpha once again claiming his Omega. "You're mine," he hissed out triumphantly.

[starless_sky]

"You're wrong." his voice wavered. "I'm not some scared little victim, I'll get rid of you one day." Dex was right though. Noct didn't think like Dex and thus he couldn't predict him. He was always two steps behind Dex. Plus he was more scared of bad things than Dex was. Case in point, how wide his eyes got and the fear in them at the threat.

"What are you gonna do? I can't help it." would Dex kill him? Torture him? What would he do to their kids if he had any? His stomach dropped and he wanted to scream but it wouldn't come out. Dex continued to be correct about getting caught. Nobody thought anything of it, if they noticed them at all. Stella was doing her bouquet toss so nobody was even looking their direction. He hated being called a good little Omega, or rather he hated acting like it.

It wasn't even easy. The stairs were confusing and slowed him down. His feet didn't really obey him.

"Stoopp." he whined as he was groped again. It sounded annoying even to him. He knew it wasn't going to do anything but his feelings were louder now that he was drunk. Then he groaned at the lights in their room.

"Close the door, you want someone to come up here?" he probably did. Dex had that look in his eyes from the night they met. Noct was silent for a moment as it happened. As he fell back on the couch, Dex got on top of him, kissed him hard.

"No." he pushed Dex's shoulders, struggled, tried to get out from under him but it was of little use. He was far smaller than Dex and being drunk made him uncoordinated. "Dex... please."

But his suit could come off easily and he could be taken in no time here. His body was drunk, he was easier to get wet, he was easy to overpower even if he verbally refused. Something about his Alpha's scent did it for him. Even in moments like this his body was showing up for duty.

[ricochetingbullets]

"Let's just say you don't want to find out what I'm capable of when push comes to shove." Dex could kidnap Noctis right out of his apartment so smooth and cleanly that no evidence would be left behind. He could find an abandoned building to chain him up in, hiding him there for Dex to rape at his leisure, breaking his body, mind, and spirit down until he was the perfect obedient pet that Dex wanted.

But he didn't want it to get to that point. This kind of game was much more fun.

He pulled Noctis's suit jacket off and loosened his tie, using it as a lasso to pull Noctis's head up by the neck so he could press another bruising kiss onto his lips. "You know you want this," he told him before letting his head slowly drop back down onto the couch. Then he pulled the tie off completely, throwing it off to the side too. He started undoing the buttons on his shirt but got impatient with the last few. He simply yanked hard and the buttons came off with little Pop! Pop! Pop! sounds, hitting the floor with a tinny sound. He threw the shirt off to the side.

Then he undid Noctis's belt, undoing the button of his pants, and pulling down his zipper with a firm Yank! After that, he took his time a little more, alternating between kissing Noctis and moving his hands over his upper body while he also took his own clothes off. In contrast to Noctis's clothing, which he threw carelessly all over the room, he put his neatly into a pile next to the couch so he could easily find them all again. When Dex was naked, he went back in and finished taking all of Noctis's own clothes off.

He was already hard from the anticipation of this moment growing throughout the night. He pulled down Noctis's pants and underwear, able to tell his body was ready and willing. He leaned down, kissing him on the neck while two of his fingers penetrated Noctis and began to work to get him wet. They sought out his G-spot. Dex was talented in more way than one with those fingers of his. He knew just how to use them to pleasure his partners. As he worked the walls of Noctis's vulva, he growled out instructions to him. "Put your arms around my neck and kiss me." He figured Noctis could do that much even drunk.

[starless_sky]

"I really don't." he breathed softly. He wasn't that strong. He didn't think he could endure what Dex already put him through for the rest of his life. He didn't want to know how much worse it would be.

"You're gonna do this to your kids... no... no please."

Noct grunted at the tie like a lasso. Just for a moment he thought he was going to get choked but he just tried to breathe through his nose while Dex kissed him. He's coercing him of course and fuck his whole reproductive system for answering 'yes I do'. He was wet already. Fucking traitor ovaries. Then his clothes came off in increasingly impatient tears.

"Hey! Hey, easy, that shirt is nice. I like it..." he will have to fix it later if he can gather the buttons and re-sew them on. He knows he won't. Dex won't give him the chance but he focused on that long enough that Dex and he were both naked and he suddenly had fingers inside him.

"No. Dex... no. I don't want this." he breathed as he felt the pleasure. Dex knew how to open him up, his vulva blossomed open and let him in. He looped his arms around Dex and kissed him. He hated him so much but this was mindless in a way. His Omega brain was happy to take over and auto-pilot. He mewled in pleasure as he was fingered.

He sounded wet in mere minutes. He was ready to go, ready for Dex to have his fun with him. In the back of his mind, and when he was done kissing Dex his eyes kept flicking to the doorway expecting them to be caught.

[ricochetingbullets]

"Don't lie. Yes you do," he purred into Noctis's ear as he kept working his fingers, feeling Noctis's body react positively to his ministrations. The other hand slipped around to the back of Noctis's body and squeezed his ass.

Then he removed his fingers and slipped into him. As always, his Alpha instincts saw as being an enormous ego boost with how wet he could make his mate and how easy it was to bring him to orgasm. What kind of Alpha wouldn't be happy to know that had that much in the way of sexual prowess? He immediately began pounding into Noctis with hard thrusts, wanting to prove himself the dominant partner once again between them.

The primal side of his brain took over, the Alpha part of him that instinctively wanted to show everyone that he could get an Omega pregnant with his kits. Of course, without being in the middle of a heat and on birth control, that wasn't going to happen but his instincts didn't know that. As he thrusted, Dex leaned down and bit down on Noctis's neck hard enough to leave a mating mark, the latest amidst many that he'd done before. Another way to tell the entire world that this Omega was his and no one else's.

[starless_sky]

"Not lying." he grunted out even as the purr made him shiver. He hated Dex with every fiber of his being even as he closed his eyes and sighed as he was getting into this. He mewled as his ass was squeezed and he felt like a filthy whore in a good and bad way.

Dex was in him and it was like their first heat again. Too hard, too fast, he felt way too much. He wanted to cry out to make him slow down but if he got off sooner they could get dressed and leave sooner. Dex could worry about his manliness while Noct just tried to go someplace where this wasn't fucked up and the one thing he would remember from today.

He grunted at the bite. He'd had several and they didn't really take outside of heat but Dex bit him many a time. Were they mates now? Noct refused to acknowledge it. His body recognized his man but he didn't. He hated this arrangement and he hated how quickly he finished. His drunk ass was easier to please and within a few minutes he was gasping, tightening up, and finishing around Dex. He whimpered as it was suddenly very overstimulating to be having sex.

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex kept going, railing Noctis hard as he sought his own climax. The poor Omega would be overstimulated and pushed to the very edge by the time Dex reached his point of orgasm, spilling his seed into his Omega. Once he finished, he felt some of the tension drain out of him. Once again, he'd shown he knew what it took to pleasure his Omega and be able to give him a kit.

With a deep sigh, he laid down on top of Noctis for a few minutes. Idly, he stroked his fingers through his hair, mussing it up a little bit more than it already had been when they were having sex. Dimly, the sounds of the wedding reception could be heard from below: the thumping of music for the dance floor, the murmur of conversation, and lots of laughter. Dex smiled happily. He'd been able to go to a wedding, charm Noctis's family, and had sex once again with his mate. It was a good day.

Finally, he got up, stretched, and ran his fingers through his own hair to put it back into something approaching respectability. He slowly got dressed, just letting Noctis lie there for a while as he's sure the other man wanted to after getting so drunk. He made sure he looked completely presentable.

Then he helped Noctis back into his clothes. Partially it was because with how drunk he was, they'd be here all night if he let him do it all himself, but it was also because the devil inside of him couldn't help but make slight alterations. It ended up with his necktie far looser than it had been, his belt wasn't put through all the loops correctly, he left his zipper down and the button on his pants undone, his shirt was untucked on just one side, and it was clear some buttons were missing on it. The jacket was just about the only thing he left alone. He wanted there to be some clear hints about what had happened and Noctis's family to have wagging tongues. Then he helped Noctis get back to his feet. He kissed him gently, resting a hand on the side of his face. "C'mon. Let's say goodbye to the bride and groom and then I'll take you home and put you to bed." He looped his arm within Noctis, letting him lean onto Dex if he wanted as he led him back downstairs.

He did mean what he said about putting Noctis to bed so he didn't have to sleep in his suit but what he didn't tell him was that Dex had no plans of leaving afterwards. He'd fuck him again once he was sure the other was passed out good and proper from the amount of alcohol that was in his system. Why waste such a golden opportunity for only one round of sex?

[starless_sky]

Noct tried to put himself right. He managed to close his fly and then he tried to find his buttons on the floor. He found one but the others had rolled away under the couch and he needed help that Dex certainly wasn't giving him to find them. Even though he was helping. Dex was mostly dressing him. Noct's hands were slow and ineffectual. He didn't notice all the intentional missteps in his look. He was instead caught feeling like his Alpha was being nice to him. Something in his primordial lizard brain liked being physically handled by him. He felt loved.

He was sloppy drunk but he didn't know how bad. He was trying not to fall asleep finally. Yet his aunt, oh dear Julia. She'd love this and she'd gossip about it later.

Did Noctis and his boyfriend have sex at the wedding? Tasteless!

Most of the younger guests, if they noticed, they thought it was nice or maybe funny. His aunt and her generation were going to judge Noctis quietly behind doors until they got bored and moved on to other topics. The newlyweds were too distracted to notice. Noct just waved bye and said thanks and he headed with Dex to his car. He slipped away on the drive home and needed to be carried up to his apartment.

He won't respond to having sex other than to get wet once his Alpha's scent appears. Or rather, he was still a mess down there after their first round.

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex was happy to carry Noctis up to his apartment like a prince with a fair damsel out of a fairy tale. He was passed out completely which was just what Dex wanted. Once they got inside, he gently undressed Noctis, putting his shoes and belt back in the closet while making sure his clothes went into the laundry hamper. Then Dex undressed and got into bed with his Omega. There was something Dex found delicious about being able to have sex with an Omega who couldn't turn him down in any way, not even with verbal protests. He was pleased to find Noctis was still wet from their first encounter and began to rape him, slipping inside easily and thrusting until he came once again. Noctis never woke up during the encounter, though he was certainly going to feel it in the morning after two rough rounds with Dex in one night. Such a shame he was still on birth control, this would have been the perfect kind of night to get Noctis pregnant with a kit.

But patience. Good things came to those who waited. If Dex kept to his plan, he'd have it all: an Omega mated to him for life, kits, and a family that welcomed him with open arms. It was happening just as he planned it and he wasn't about to disrupt any of it.

Once he pulled out, he thought about getting dressed and just leaving as he normally did when he came over to have sex with Noctis, but he found he didn't want to go. Instead, he stayed, curling up with Noctis under the covers and spooning with his body around the smaller man's.

He woke up far earlier than Noctis given he hadn't drank as much. He got up, putting on his boxers and ruffling through Noctis's clean clothes until he found a T-shirt large enough he could fit into. He slipped it on and padded into the kitchen. Soon enough, he had a whole breakfast going, something greasy and with lots of salt to help with the inevitable hangover that Noct would have. He had eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast all being cooked up as well as starting up the coffeemaker. That one was partially for him too, he needed some coffee too.

Everything was sizzling away and just about ready to go when he noticed Noct had woken up. Dex smiled, wrapped up the last of the cooking, and went back into the bedroom with a few things on a tray. He had a big glass of water, some coffee made the way he knew Noctis liked it, some Tylenol, and Alka-Seltzer tablets designed for a hangover. He set it next to the bedside table next to Noct. Then he got back into bed, spooning Noctis's naked body again. He stroked his hair and face in an affectionate manner. "Morning, sleepyhead," he murmured in his ear happily. This was a far cry from the dark and possessive Alpha who had made every single decision for Noctis the previous night before raping him twice. He was acting sweet and nice as if the two of them really were a couple instead of a stalker with a victim.

[starless_sky]

Noct was so lucky! His neighbors would comment on it, how his boyfriend carried him into the apartment. How sweet! Noct would be so pissed. He didn't wake up the entire time, he was dead to the world. Thank God for small mercies, he slept through this rape rather than having to live through it. Of course, that didn't help when he woke up naked and he knew Dex had his way with him. He didn't remember it but honestly, it isn't a surprise if he blacked out. He doesn't remember getting home and Dex never needed his consent before.

He'd scream or cry but his heat fucking throbbed. He felt foggy, dizzy, like he wanted to puke... but he needed to lay back down and let the feeling subside.

Wait. Did he smell food? Bacon? Oh man, he could go for it but he felt like shit. Nevermind, the bacon came to him. Dex. Oh, Dex. Noct stiffened but Dex looked nice...ish. There was no telling what he wanted.

"Surprised you stayed over." he laid his arm over his eyes. It's too bright in here, the sun needs to stay down. But he blinked at the tray, peeking out at it. Quite the spread. Plus water? Plus meds? And... was that non-coffee? Noctis hated coffee so this was just a mug of creamer with enough coffee in it to turn it tan. Oh Dex was being a sweetie. Was this some kind of love-bombing thing after yesterday?

"You're being nice to me... what's the catch?" he went still as Dex snuggled him.

"You want to play house after the wedding or something? You helped yourself to me last night, fuck you for that by the way." he looked to the tray. "Is that drugged? You wanna fuck me, you can just do it, I feel too awful to fight you today."

[ricochetingbullets]

"And leave you alone to suffer through this hangover alone? No, that wouldn't have been very nice to do." He leaned in and pressed a kiss to one of Noctis's temple. "Not when I could help you out." One thing that was very apparent about Dex was that he genuinely liked to be helpful and useful when he could. No surprise then that he'd want to stay and help Noctis through his suffering.

He rubbed his hand up and down one of Noct's arms in a gentle and fond gesture. "What? I can't just want to stay and take care of you? I need to have some sort of terrible motive instead?" He sounded genuinely hurt. Dex had the remarkable ability to look like a kicked puppy when he wanted to and made it easy for the other person to feel bad about accusing him of things, even when they were completely true. It was made even easier because Dex himself would never feel bad or guilty about that kind of manipulation. "Take your time. I can keep the food warm until you're ready to eat. But you should probably drink some water and take the meds at least."

Then he nuzzled into the side of Noctis's neck in a very gentle and affectionate manner. "Maybe later. First I want to get you feeling better. That means hydration, food, and a shower later on."

[starless_sky]

Did that include being helpful in problems he caused? "You made me hungover to start with. I've never been hungover in my life, Dex!" he calmed down both at the kiss but mostly at his own volume. He needed to be quiet and rest.

Dex was irritating him, rubbing his arm, trying to be nice. "Do you think that's gonna work on me? I know you. You aren't sorry and there's always an ulterior motive." but he remembered how scared he'd been at Dex's threat last night. Here there were no witnesses. He could go missing and no one would solve the murder.

Plus he did feel like shit.

"That's an impressive puppy dog look, I bet it works really well on other people." he reached for the water, shifting. "Let me up." he sat and took the pills then emptied the glass of water.

"...This was nice, thanks." it was the least he could do given all he put him through yesterday but on that subject, what could Dex do to make amends? He was sort of beyond redemption.

Dex nuzzling into him would have been so sweet if he was in heat but right now he was sober and hung over and pissed off... and anxious and depressed and sad. Mostly he was sad. His scent was bitter where it was normally sweet. Some of that was the hangover. Some of that was yesterday and last night.

[ricochetingbullets]

"Well, there's a first time for everything!" Dex said cheerfully, as if he hadn't been the sole cause of Noctis's misery over the last twenty-four hours or so.

"No, I'm not sorry. I'm never sorry about the things I do, my brain's just not wired that way," Dex said, sound a touch more upset and hurt than he usually got with anything Noctis said to him. It was rare anything got to Dex but he wasn't made of stone, even with being a psychopath. He didn't like reminders of how different he was than a normal person. "But right now my only motive is the pleasure of your company. Nothing else."

He leaned across Noctis and picked up his own coffee off the tray before pulling back to his side of the bed, sipping it slowly.

[starless_sky]

Try the last few months, baby doll.

"At least you admit it." he huffed. He shouldn't fall for that sadness but fuck it sounded authentic. He had to have studied people very closely to impersonate it so well. "Your definition of pleasure and mine are very different, Dex."

He sighed and laid in the bed, feeling worn out, sluggish, depressed, and just like he wanted the world to go away. There is no point in telling Dex how he hurt him because Dex will not care or it would encourage him.

"I'm not very pleasant today so if you are looking for fun, this is as good as it's gonna get."

He picked up some bacon and chewed on it, slowly eating it and then another piece.

"You were happy yesterday for a moment. You were happy to be at a wedding. Why? What's so special about them to you? I'd think you'd have crashed one before now if it mattered to you."

[ricochetingbullets]

"If you just want me to sit here and be quiet, I'll do that. But I'm not leaving," he said stubbornly. Suddenly he realized he'd forgotten something for Noctis and got up to go get it. He got an ice pack from the freezer, one of the bendable kinds that could wrap around whatever body part it needed to, wrapping it up in a clean dishtowel. He also got a cold wet washcloth. When he came back over, he dabbed gently at Noctis's forehead with the wet washcloth in a manner that would have been very sweet and tender coming from anyone but Dex.

"I like being with you no matter how you are. Even when you're doing your best impression of Grumpy Bear like right now," Dex said. It had to be the truth because Dex didn't waste his time with people or things that didn't bring him pleasure. And Noct knew by now that Dex wouldn't lie to spare his feelings.

Once again, as at the wedding itself, Dex was caught off-guard. He hadn't be expecting that question. "What, you think I'd get the same amount of pleasure just crashing a random stranger's wedding? No, that would just be pointless and stupid. I liked going to the one yesterday because you were there. And it felt nice being surrounded by your family and friends. That's not something I've ever really had before." Dex had been alone his entire life. It was like his mind and heart were frozen in ice: it hurt at first but eventually he just got used to the sensation of being cold all the time. Then Noctis had come along and he felt warmth for the first time in a long while. That had also hurt in its own way but it had also felt so good that Dex never wanted to give it up ever again.

[starless_sky]

He wasn't sure he wanted Dex to be quiet. He didn't trust Dex not to fuck him in his sleep again and he wanted to feel better by napping. But then he was gone and come back with ice. He let himself be handled like a patient. He was just a doll for Dex to play with and pretend to be loving toward. It felt so hollow.

"Grumpy Bear? That's a blast from the past. You liked Care Bears growing up?" he sighed as he was patted with the cloth, eyes closed. "...me too. I liked Love-a-lot Bear. I used to have one when I was little. I used to carry him everywhere and I'd hug him when I needed to cry or when I had big feelings. I think it's how my dad knew I was Omega. He knew since I was small. When I got tested at puberty we expected Omega. He was right." damn, why was he rambling?

His mouth tightened, he was trying not to let his emotions get too strong by thinking of his dad. He didn't want to cry in front of Dex.

"He would have been really happy to be there yesterday."

But Dex sweeps him right out of his feelings and thankfully so. "You like me, but why? I'm boring. I don't do anything any other Omega wouldn't do. I fight back and I fuck you. Others would do the same. Why me?"

He was alone too in a way, maybe that's what it was. He had his dad most of his life. Until he didn't and he had his extended family but he felt alone once his dad died. Like he was lost in the void. Maybe Dex felt seen when he was around.

"Why are you alone?" other than the psychopathy "What happened to your family?"

He sits up now and eats the food. Dex did a nice thing and while it doesn't redeem him, Noct isn't going to neglect his needs on the off-chance Dex was going to do something fucked up. That was a given.

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex kept dabbing away at Noctis, trying to make him feel as comfortable as possible. He nodded when asked about Care Bears. "They made it seem like it was so easy to have empathy for other people--bears--you know what I mean. I used to watch them and wonder if I was missing something inside of me that everyone else used to. Turns out I was right." He smiled gently at the mention of Noctis having a favorite stuffed animal. "That sounds cute." He picked up on the past tense and the smile disappeared from his face. "'Would have'? Did he pass away?" He probed.

"I don't have a good answer. I just know that you fascinate me in a way that has never happened with any other person, Omega or otherwise. It makes me keep coming back despite all the risks." It would have been easy for the AVTF to figure out the pattern of where Dex kept disappearing to if they were just a little bit smarter. He was thankful Fisk had staffed the team mostly with morons.

Suddenly, a guarded look came over Dex's face when asked about his family. He didn't like telling people about his past. That made him vulnerable in a way that he couldn't take back once people knew about his past. "They died," he said shortly, clearly not willing to say anything more than that. He shifted to turn and look away from Noctis, fixing his gaze on the closest wall instead.
