"Make sure everyone eats well. Don't forget to check on the newborn..." Peinaire is having a call from the stable caretaker when she sees a sight of her Omega waiting in the corridor in front of her cousins' ward. She cuts the call and calmly walks up to him.
"Alpha Pein..." Caspian stands up immediately. Peinaire sighs, while her eyes roam around.
"What are you doing here, Caspi?"
"The doctor is checking on Alpha Fa's condition. So, I need to wait outside," Caspian replies. "Oh, Beta Cir is doing fine now. His body responds to the medicine. And, perhaps, maybe the presence of Omega Tul and the baby helps his recovery as well."
Peinaire nods slightly. Her eyes then look at her Omega; dark circles almost form under his eyes, his skin turns dull due to lack of sleep and he looks a bit skinny. Caspian is busy taking care of Cirrus and Fa; traveling between the hospital and the mansion. Peinaire can't help much as she's busy with a newborn colt.
"Did you have your breakfast?" asks Peinaire. Caspian shakes his head.
"Tsk!" Peinaire sneers. "How many times do I have to tell you? You need to eat on time!"
"I'm sorry, Alpha Pein. But, I'm a bit busy this morning..."
Caspian is unable to finish his sentence when Peinaire drags him inside one of the empty wards. It's a spare room for a visitor; mainly for either Tul or Ezra to rest or sleep in the meantime.
"Alpha Pein..."
Peinaire walks out of the room without even taking a glance at Caspian. After a while, she comes in with a tray full of food.
"Eat," she forces the Omega. Caspian grabs the spoon, dares not to argue with Peinaire. He knows it only brings disaster if he insists on fighting, so he just follows the command.
After finishing a tray of breakfast, Peinaire drags Caspian to the bed. She pesters him to sit and starts massaging his shoulder.
"Alpha... no need to... I'm okay..."
"Shut up. Stay still."
No words came out of Caspian after that. He just lets Peinaire do whatever she wants.
"Dare to skip your meal again, and I'll chain you up! You do know how hard it is to take care of yourself, yet, you slack off all the time!" Peinaire scolds Caspian. Between those harsh tones, actually, there's a layer of concern.
Caspian has an eating disorder; a trait that he developed when he was a student at the boarding school in Europe. As an Omega, he needs to be presentable and demure all the time. Omegas are known for their extraordinary figures, so they are particularly strict towards themselves. Well, at least that's what those Omegas from his boarding school did! The competition was fierce, and that's what consumed Caspian's mental state.
When Peinaire met Caspian for the first time, he was so skinny, that the Alpha accidentally broke that poor Omega's finger with her strength. He was rushed to the hospital only for Peinaire to learn that Caspian was actually malnutrition and had that disorder. Behind his strict and disciplined lifestyle, his mental state was not actually good. Peinaire pitied the Omega. Thus, she chose him as her mate.
It took years for Peinaire to fix Caspian. She never told anyone about her husband's condition. People keep judging her for being ruthless over Caspian, but all she did was to help him. Far from the eyes of the public, Peinaire actually is a softie when it comes to Caspian. She voices out loud about canning and sorts; but she never laid a hand on Caspian. It's just her method of helping him, along with her foul mouth that makes everyone wince in fear.
As Peinaire massages Caspian's back, her sense starts to activate. She stops moving, instead, placing her hand on Caspian's shoulder blade.
"You're on heat," she says. "Why did you suppress your gland?" Peinaire stands up from the bed, facing Caspian in anger.
"You're tired, so I won't dare ask to mate..."
Peinaire keeps quiet. She stares deep into Caspian's eyes, making the Omega feel a sudden heat seep through his bones. That female Alpha slowly steps closer, cups Caspian's jaw and lands a kiss on his pink lips. Caspian tries to stop her, aware of what the Alpha is trying to do, but she fights him by biting the inner flesh of his lips.
When Peinaire releases her kiss, Caspian pants heavily. She smirks, feeling satisfied by her ability to make her Omega hopeless in lust.
"Alpha Pein... someone might barge in..."
"You think I'm that stupid? I already locked the door..." Peinaire slurs into Caspian's ears, voice fills with seduction. "Now tell me, my Omega... how bad do you want it, huh?"
Caspian gulps, feeling the sensation inside him. The barrier that he forms around his pheromone gland crumbles at once. He grabs Peinaire's back tightly before he whispers something to her. A smirk formed on Peinaire's face.
"Fine then..."
Five minutes later, clothes are scattered on the floor. Caspian throws his sight at the view through the window. He blinks his eyes slowly, swaying his body within the rhythm.
"Should I go deeper?" Peinaire whispers in his ear. Her finger circles Caspian's sensitive spot, making him arch his back again.
"Should I go deep and fast, hmm?"
"Y‐yess... ugh!" Caspian clamps the sofa while taking the thrust bravely. Peinaire smirks as she snakes her hands around Caspian's waist, lifts his body, and goes deep. In every span of the Omega's grunts, she stays in. Taking a breath while enjoying the connection between them. She feels happy to fulfill her Omega's desire to enjoy the scenery of the city while having fun with Peinaire.
As Peinaire feels the knot is almost forming inside, she tries to pull away. But, a long hand stretches and grabs her hips.
"Caspi... I'm almost knotting..." Peinaire gushes. She smacks his hand away but Caspian doesn't budge.
"I won't come if you take it out now, Pein..." Caspian whines like a baby. Peinaire pulls up Caspian's body and bites his neck in anger.
"I'll take care of it like usual!"
"Please... let me feel it... for once..." Caspian begs.
Peinaire sighs. She rubs her face against Caspian's crook, trying to get out but he keeps pushing her inside.
"Caspi... obey me."
"Don't you love me, Pein?"
That sudden question makes Peinaire feel attacked. Caspian turns his head to the side and looks at Peinaire. His eyes are brimming with tears.
"Only this once! And you'll have to take the pills after this!" Peinaire bites Caspian's earlobe after warning him. Then she proceeds to knot the Omega inside, moving intensely before letting out a loud grunt and releasing. Caspian flops on the sofa, he had already come a second before Peinaire. He lets out a soft scoff, feeling happy to be filled.
They dress up slowly after the session, no rush indeed because Peinaire has already locked the door. Actually, she did leave a message to Tul, telling the Omega she wanted to have some privacy with Caspian. So that Omega helps her by blocking anyone from entering the room. Peinaire never expected that Caspian was on heat, so it's a fortunate event.
"Take this," she hands a pink pill to Caspian. He picks it up from her palm, staring at the pill for a long time.
"Can I not?"
Peinaire pierces her sharp gaze at Caspian. Her eyes are slanted up, with the iris enlarged in fire.
"Obey me, Omega!"
Caspian flinches in fear. He pops the pill into his mouth and washes it down with a glass of water. Then, he stays still.
"Good. Take a shower before you leave the room," says Peinaire, her voice fills in coldness. She steps out of the room, leaving Caspian alone in silent.
The Omega hangs his head low. He opens his palm, looking at the pill that he hides between his finger just now. His eyes slowly droopy, with tears rolling on his cheek. The feeling of dejected consumes his weak heart. The heart that cages within the love that he has.
Pein, I love you. But, when will you understand me?
