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]

After the amazing night with Noctis, Dex had become completely obsessed with the Omega. After he'd gone along with everything the whole night, he couldn't help but feel he'd found the perfect Omega for him. He couldn't get enough of Noctis, so before he'd left the hotel, Dex had glanced at his wallet and memorized the address on his license. He'd tracked him down after that.

With his abilities, it was easy to break it. Oftentimes, he'd take something with him, particularly objects that held Noctis's scent strongly or that seemed to have a lot of sentimental value to him. He'd keep them for a while until the scent had faded or he grew bored with the object, returning it in exchange for another. He was sure Noctis had noticed beforehand but he could hardly fail to figure out what was going on when Dex physically showed up. Oftentimes it was during Noctis's heat but not always. Still, the presence of an Alpha regularly having sex with him sent Noctis into heat quite often, his body sending him into heat far more often.

Dex knew Noctis was taking birth control the same way he knew everything about him. For now, he didn't protest. He wanted to establish himself as a firm and constant presence in his Omega's life before they got to the point of talking about trying for a kit. Or kits possibly. Noctis was young and fertile enough while Dex was virile enough that he knew it would be quite easy to get his Omega pregnant several times in a row very quickly, maybe even with twins during one of the pregnancies.

This was now the new normal for the both of them and Dex saw no reason to change anything.

Dex had found the wedding invitation while going through Noctis's mail. There was no such thing as secrets between the two of them, not when Dex was inserting himself into every nook and cranny of his Omega's life.

Suddenly now he knew exactly where and when Noctis was going to be on a specific date. Not that he didn't already know that all the time but this was a perfect opportunity that might not come around again anytime soon. Dex's brain started cooking up a plan. After all, what better way to make sure he was firmly inserted into Noctis's life than to show up at an event where there was bound to be a ton of family and friends he could introduce himself to as Noct's new Alpha? With it being such an important day and Noctis someone who tended to be very accommodating, Dex was certain he wouldn't cause a scene if Dex made a visible appearance.

So he'd gone out, found a nice suit, and made sure he looked like a million bucks after he shaved, did his hair, and put on some cologne. He made sure to show up at the wedding venue with plenty of time to spare before the actual ceremony began. It was obvious to everyone there that Dex was a newcomer and everyone was curious as to why. Dex was happy to introduce himself as Noctis's Alpha. Everyone was very happy, congratulating him on snagging such a wonderful Omega. Dex agreed with them. He made sure to turn on the charm and be the perfect wedding guest, making a good impression on everyone around him

Hmmm? What was that? Why hadn't he been seen before now? Dex made some vague excuses about he and Noctis having to work some things out before he wanted to introduce him to anyone he knew. The Alphas laughed and slapped him on the back, talking about Omegas that could get uppity and try to be independent when their Alphas clearly knew best. The Omegas nodded wisely and some of them made mention of either experiencing such difficulties themselves or at least knowing another Omega directly who had gone through the same thing.

'Where is Noctis?' was what quite a number of people asked him. Dex joked he was likely skulking around in a corner moodily, which kept getting laughs. Then he excused himself to go off to find him.

He approached Noctis when his back was to him. "You look good," Dex said by way of a greeting. "I might just have to drag you off into a dark corner tonight to have my way with you." There was a bit of that 'Alpha rumble' in his voice in the second sentence that promised he was going to do just that.

Sorry it's a book. I had fun with it????

[starless_sky]

Noct ought to consider himself lucky an Alpha was into him like that but he was mostly afraid. Or more like filled with dread. All the time. Dex was inevitable and at times he wanted him around. At times his little thefts were annoying and at other times comforting in a fucked up way.

He caught himself feeling relieved when he heard about some prowler targeting single omegas living alone. The story was circulating about a guy who broke in and murdered single omegas in their homes. Noct was shocked as anyone else but he had a strange comfort. He knew he was safe because Dex would never allow that to happen to him. So he'd been nice and invited all his single omega neighbors to sleep in his place for a few nights until they felt comfortable sleeping in their own apartments. Because Dex wouldn't let him die, right? Even if there are strangers with him at home? So they were all safe.

He'd been close to his heat at the time and left an apologetic note for Dex explaining his motives. That he worried for his neighbors' lives. Then later he came home and tore it up because fuck Dex. Fuck this asshole who owns his life now. He doesn't owe him any explanations! And return his fucking clothes! Seriously, Dex made off with his favorite blankets and sweatshirts. They came back eventually but it was annoying. At least they came back smelling like him... No. No, he wasn't happy about that. It made him mad. Depending on the time of his heat it made him horny but mostly mad.

He was hot and cold. Sometimes he was pissed and would fight Dex and sometimes he could be drawn to his scent and cuddle with him. He could make out with him, he could fuck him with reckless abandon. He was relieved for his heats now. He was riding the train home one day and remembered his heat was soon and normally he'd be dreading the pain and loneliness but he thought 'Dex will come, I won't have to suffer' and he cringed at himself. So he's looking forward to fucking him now? What the hell!

But he did look forward to it. He fantasized about riding his dick as his heat approached and then after it was over he was angry again and he cursed Dex's name.

And don't even get him started on the birth control. Sure. Noct loved babies. He tried to be cool and not show much emotion, certainly not his love of children but his eyes lit up around babies and even baby stores. Baby clothes? Toys? Mom bags? His gaze lingered on these things while he was out and he just... refused to comment on it if Dex ever dared speak of it. He can't get pregnant with him. He just can't!

Yet they have sex regularly and birth control is enough until it's not... He already knew in his heart he'd keep the baby. In that way he was planning it without wanting to plan it. He already thought of it as 'the baby'. The inevitable baby because this nightmare with Dex was never going to end. He'd get knocked up and they'd be together forever or he'd be a runaway with a baby trying to flee him. The courts didn't smile on an omega who ran away with a baby when they had no proof of abuse. Noct had a case so thin it was transparent. He'd be labeled a horrible mother, be charged with parental kidnapping and custodial interference. HE may lose rights to his baby if he left. So... he just can't get pregnant...

But he can't stop sleeping with Dex either it seemed. His birth control had better not fail him.

In the meantime he was going to have a palate cleanser experience. Sort of. This wedding was for his cousin. A lot of his friends were here or at least people he grew up with, plus his family. If he could dodge the 'when are you settling down???' questions he'd honestly have a nice day without his shadow.

Except Dex can't let him even have that one fucking thing, can he? Of course not. Noct knew he should have shredded that invite when he got it. Here he was, an idiot worrying about Dex being at his place. Hah! If only!

He should have realized that it was suspiciously easy to avoid attention while people were milling about. Usually his cousins came to find him or at least the kids would but nobody did today annnd he soon found out why.

He startled when Dex's voice sounded. He jumped, turning to him with wide eyes. "You!" he was too shocked to be angry and then looking him up and down... he was furious. At Dex. At himself. At his whole fucking life. How dare he look hot in that suit.

"This is my cousin's wedding! Don't do this here." he hissed. "This isn't my apartment, what the fuck is wrong with you!? You are not-- I am not gonna fuck you here..." that rumble got to him, his cheeks grew rosy "...It's not even time yet." his heat wasn't for at least another week. But that rumble had the ability to weaken his knees and make him wet. He knew it was going to happen. He would argue it wasn't but he knew. Dex would have his way.

It was then that he heard a shrill voice.

"Noooooctiiiiis~ How long were you going to hide this fine young man from us?" Noct's eyebrows rose. That was his aunt's voice. He looked over, she had found them and was sauntering over, martini in hand. She's toasted already.

"Uh.. hide?" he looked at Dex, then to his aunt. It slowly dawned on him that Dex didn't come to him first thing when he arrived. His shoulders sagged. His mouth curled up in a grin, not of joy but of anger, of contempt. 'You motherfucker...' he whispered.

"Oh Noctis~ look at that smile! Dex, Noct never smiles. You've had such an affect on him! He was hiding here alone until you got here. Shy thing. Maybe he'll come out of his shell more with you around. He needs a nice alpha to look after him." she winked and hooked her arm around Noct's and held him closer.

"Aunt Julia we need a moment to ourselves."

"Noctis." Julia's voice was suddenly sober. "Your grandparents have just arrived. They'd like to meet Dex." Noct swallowed. Grandma... he loved her but she was traditional and she was serious. The woman held a grudge and had no mercy on a social faux pas, especially at a family event.

"I... how do they even know about Dex-"

"Noctis. My nephew. You left your Alpha to fend for himself out there with the family. Granted, your grandparents hadn't arrived yet and your date, he's more than capable, he did brilliantly, you should have seen him. Yet you and I know that won't fly with grandmother, will it?"

Noct swallowed, unable to speak.

"You brought a boyfriend to a family wedding and that is serious business in our family, it indicates you two are serious. Now, all will be forgiven for this being the first time anyone has ever met him if you go introduce him to your grandparents promptly. If you send him alone you'll never get their blessing."

Noct withered. He looked at Dex, he looked into the distance. Could he just run? Could he just dive into his car and leave? How was this all his fault? How was he...

"I didn't think he'd come today..."

"...You two are going to have to work on communication dear. But go on. Grandma is eager to meet him. Put on a happy face. Hurry before we start taking our seats or it will look like you're trying to steal your cousin's spotlight." aunt Julie left them alone.

Noct sighed and looked at Dex.

"...Are you happy?" he growled. "...My grandparents are good people. Don't be a psycho okay? Let me do the talking." he took a moment trying to get his scowl off his face. Smile. A smile.... how could he smile when he wanted to scream.

They're going to think he's dating with intent to marry. They are all thinking this is his serious boyfriend, that they will have another wedding before long for him and Dex. That's what they are all talking about in there, that's what Dex wanted. How... how did he know? He could cry but. No. No... fuck it he is not going to feel this sorry for himself at this wedding.

"...My grandmother's name is Eleanor and she is very traditional so don't... please don't embarrass me, okay?"

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex kept up the 'perfect Alpha' mask around Noctis's aunt. He could already tell that he'd made the exact impression on them all he'd been hoping for. Soon, he'd have the whole lot of them eating out of the palm of his hand, that manipulative streak that all psychopaths possess helping him out a great deal here.

"Psycho? Psycho?" Dex sounded absolutely affronted at being accused of being crazy, as if his behavior over the last few months had entirely been, in fact, psychotic behavior that would have gotten him carted off to a psych ward if he had been an Omega doing it to an Alpha. But since he was an Alpha doing it to an Omega, everyone just saw how romantic and Byron-esque his actions were, like some dark brooding antihero from a 19th century novel. "I will have you know I have been on my best behavior here. Your family already loves me." Which was just another link Dex was building in the chain to trap Noctis with. If he tried to tell them now what Dex was really like, they'd just accuse him of being dramatic or not wanting to fall in line with 'traditional Alpha and Omega values.' Rejecting Dex now would just make it look like he was throwing away a good thing for no reason.

Dex was the traditional Alpha every bit of societal expectation had said an Omega should want: tall, strong, handsome, a good provider, firm in what he wanted from his Omega, and possessive in that way that would ward all other Alphas away from Noctis.

When he was led over to a pair of little old people, he smiled graciously. "It's wonderful to finally meet you both. I'm Noctis's Alpha, Dex." He shook the man's hand firmly and Noctis's grandfather gave him an approving nod. Then he brought up the woman's hand to plant a courtly, old-fashioned kiss to the back of it. The esture was so dramatic and over the top that it worked out perfectly: she giggled like a little schoolgirl.

"Now I hope you've got nothing but good intentions for my grandson. If you're coming to one of the family weddings, that means it must be getting serious." She peered upwards at Dex with a solemn look on her face. "Is it serious?"

"Of course. Noctis is the one I want to be with for the rest of my life." He looped an arm around Noctis's waist and pulled him in close. To anyone else, it looked like a loving gesture. Only Noctis would be able to feel the insane possessiveness in the movement and what his words truly meant. Dex was never going to leave Noctis alone. The Omega was stuck with Dex as his Alpha permanently. "Besides, when the time comes, can you imagine how cute our kids will be?"

Those were the magic words. Both grandparents lit up at the thought of being great-grandparents and having new babies around. Dex smiled, though the expression never reached his eyes. This was too easy.

[starless_sky]

That sonuvabitch planned this. He can't say how Dex knew but he knew. Somehow. It didn't sound very sane but somehow Noct knew he was right. This was a conspiracy.

"Yes. Psycho. They love you because they don't know you like I do." he hissed. Damn it all he had to make nice with this guy and Dex was right. It was all over, they loved him and if the family loved him they'd never stop asking about him. "Is Dex coming to Christmas? Is Dex coming to our barbecue? Is Dex coming????" To Everything???"

He took Dex's arm, approached his grandparents and forced a smile. "Grandma, Grandpa, this is..." but Dex was already doing his thing. Noct watched as his grandparents fell under the spell, thoroughly charmed by his surprise Alpha. He felt like he was out to sea, alone with no paddle. Nobody supported him or even saw what he saw and Dex snaked his arm around his waist while speaking the words of his death. Noctis is the one I want to be with for the rest of my life

The rest of my life.

They were romantic words but to him they were the slam of a prison cell door. He wanted to cry. It really was over, he was never getting away. He felt himself hollowing out as his grandparents looked so elated. Of course, he'd be their new favorite grandchild if he got pregnant first. God, the way Dex was going that might happen. His birth control was the only thing keeping him from conceiving during his heats.

"Aha... kids aren't on the radar right now." Noct chuckled. It sounded like someone else talking. Someone who sounded pleased.

"Of course not, you need to be married first!" Grandpa looked pointedly at Dex.

Grandma soothed. "Whenever you two are ready, there's no rush... but come talk to us when you're ready, Noctis dear. We'll handle everything." they paid for their grandkids' weddings. All of them. Noct felt like he wanted to vomit. His family would sanction his imprisonment, hell they'd build the cell with Dex.

"Haha... oh wow. I'm dizzy just thinking about that. Hah... I'm gonna go sit." he stepped away. He has to actually sit and try not to hyperventilate. "I can't believe you fucking said that. Kids? KIDS? What the hell, Dex. You know I'm on the pill. You want it to fail?" he was trembling. "Of course you do... I'm not... ready for that." Gods, he needed to sit or curl up and bawl. Or be held.

"You're welcome for only using your nickname by the way." why hadn't he mentioned who Dex was? Saying his name out loud... it was the best card he had to play. The only card, really. He didn't know why he never used it against Dex. Except he did. Dex could break out again and murder him.

"...I guess you wanna go sign the card on my wedding gift too? So it can be from 'us'?" he sighed and went to go sit on the bride's side. He may as well make room for Dex too. They were spending the day together.

"...Will you at least get me a drink while you do that?" he needed one. Or twelve.

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex was pleased he'd won over the grandparents the way he had Noctis's aunts, uncles, and cousins. They'd been the wildcard here. If he couldn't impress or charm them, then that might be a spanner in the works. As they went over to their seats, he kept one hand on Noctis at all time. It looked sweet from the outside and only Noctis would be able to feel how much control there was in the simple gesture.

When Noctis sat down in one of the rows, Dex noticed he was trembling. His eyes softened for a moment and he put his arms around him, pulling him in so that Dex could hold him. He spoke quietly to his Omega, his tone surprisingly soothing. "Don't worry. You'll get pregnant when I want you to and not a moment before." He brushed a stray lock of hair out of Noctis's face, the tender gesture at odds with the obsessive, controlling, and deeply disturbing words. The scary thing was is that Dex could have made that happen whenever he wanted. There was plenty of ways to make sure birth control failed even if Noctis attempted to stay on it.

The one saving grace is that Dex could see Noctis's family was a bit old-fashioned and clearly wanted them to be wed before Noctis got pregnant. That was a small detail and could easily be taken care of. Already, he was onto the next step of his plan in how to make that happen.

When Noctis mentioned putting his name on the gift, he got up. "Don't worry about a thing. I'll get your favorite drink." Because by now of course Dex knew what that was. He leaned in and kissed Noctis briefly before he went off to do both of those things. He deliberately made sure to have the bartender make it double strength so there would be more alcohol overall in it. He planned on getting Noctis drunk fast so he'd be more easy to control when Dex wanted to have sex with him.

[starless_sky]

Noct was shocked how easily it had happened. His entire family fell like a house of cards. Here he was looking the part of a beloved boyfriend while that hand on him was like a brand. The reminder he was never free. Even if for an instant Dex looked almost humane. That softened look reminded him of Dex during his heats when he was nice to him. Or. At least he liked him better when he was in heat.

Yet Noct's blood turned to ice at his words. Dex was going to control his fertility. He ran through a lot of ideas then; about changing drugs, changing doctors, stocking up on Plan B, even getting an abortion but he knew it was never going to work. He'd run himself ragged and still end up right where Dex wanted him. God he was so tired.

At least their babies would be cute. Dex wasn't wrong there.

"Hopefully our kid won't inherit their father's black heart." he growled and then he was alone for a moment. He should have run away then, just run for his car but it would make a bigger scene.

Dex was a good man for getting a double, and thank goodness for an open bar at the wedding. Grandpa would pay for an open bar at theirs too. Noct could already imagine himself drinking all day just to get through it.

Noct's favorite was a maple bacon old fashioned, with a slice of candied bacon as a garnish! Noct would sigh in relief when he got it and then look at Dex suspiciously.

"You got me a double?" he narrowed his eyes but still drank. He needed that. The pews were filling up and soon Noct had to lean into Dex to make room for everybody else. They looked cute but he wore a mask of calm.

"Do you even like weddings? They're boring as hell."

As if on cue the thing started and proved him right. All the ceremony, the vows, the prayers, his cousin taking a fortnight to get down the aisle. He just watched, snuggled up to Dex sipping his drink. The groom had a long monologue for his vows and instead of audibly sighing, Noct laid his head on Dex's shoulder.

[ricochetingbullets]

Dex was happy to get all up in Noctis's space as the pew filled in, making sure that he had no personal space to himself. Just another gesture of control as so many others were between them.

For one of the only times in their relationship, Dex looked uncomfortable when Noctis asked about whether he liked weddings or not. "....I've never gotten the chance to go to many before," he said in a sad tone after a pause. People generally went to weddings either because their family or friends were getting married. Dex had no family and no friends, so the very few times he'd gone had been for a coworker who liked him well enough to offer an invite, mainly so they could fill up all the seats.

He watched the ceremony intently, genuinely interested in this part of the proceedings since he hadn't seen many during his life. He encouraged Noctis to keep drinking, making sure he'd downed the entire old fashioned by the time the ceremony was concluding.

As soon as the ceremony was done with the happy bride and groom walking down the aisle, Dex went over and got Noctis another double from the bar. He brought it back to him. "Drink," he told him firmly. It clearly wasn't a request as the not-so-gentle hand on the back of his neck implied. Once Noctis started to obey, Dex was happy to take him around and continue mingling. He paraded Noctis before everyone at the wedding, cementing himself in everyone's minds as the perfect Alpha boyfriend. He excused himself for a moment to go get some hors d'oeuvres for himself and Noctis. He'd made sure Noct had been drinking on an empty stomach, so anything he ate now wasn't going to do any good with that much alcohol already on his stomach. He smiled himself at what he overheard when he was coming back. "You're so lucky to have ended up with an Alpha like him! Dex seems perfect for you. And he's so handsome!" One of Dex's cousins told him in a gushing tone. She sighed. "If only I could find one like that."

[starless_sky]

Boy did he feel like an asshole when Dex looked uncomfortable. He ought to feel righteous. Dex SHOULD feel bad for something. Anything! Yet he looked like a kicked puppy for a second and Noct wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be alright.

"If you like this then guess what, there are more cousins where that came from." he sipped his drink, not really needing Dex to push him "This is strong, let me pace myself." he, in fact, did not pace himself and obeyed Dex. The glass was empty before the ceremony ended. "If you're gonna tag along again you can at least pick the gift next time." he huffed.

Aaaand that was a wrap. Another wedding in the bag. Now he just had to linger until it was polite to leave. Dex gave him a break for a moment, he could breathe... oh nevermind, he was back. Hand on his neck and fuck if it wasn't like taking a cat by the scruff. He didn't think, he just obeyed. Glass to lips, booze down throat. Got it.

Noct had never been this social at weddings, he was usually being a wallflower but today he was on the parade route through all the guests who were all too happy to talk to Dex. Including some friends who Noct had confided to about his situation.

"I'm so mad, haha. You were permanently single then you show up with a hottie like that? And he's clearly smitten with you. He's been waiting on you all day, I mean wow. Talk about the princess treatment."

"He owes me that much after everything he's done."

"Are you guys fighting? Was he rough on you during his rut or something? Haha! TMI, don't answer that! Just kidding... but seriously, how did you even find him?"

"He dragged me off the sidewalk and decided I was his."

"Haha! You're hilarious. Fine, keep your secrets."

The friend noticed Dex with hors d'oeuvres and lit up, waving him back over.

"Oh, here he is! Mister Stalker himself!"

Noctis flinched and looked over, saw Dex, saw the food... and snagged a crab cake off his plate with a huff.

"You know, I can tell how paralyzed with fear he is." the friend looked at Dex. "I think he was just trying to hide you and I can see why. We'd have all descended like vultures to take you away from him."

Noct shrugged. "If you've got what it takes, then by all means." he snagged another crab cake off Dex's plate. Fuck him, he doesn't deserve the best hors d'oeuvres.

His friend's eyes went wide. "oooh look at the confidence on this one! Noct's really got faith in you, Dex. Wow, you two are really special. I'm envious."

[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.
