“What’s all this?” he picked up another box and ripped into it. More patches fell out.
Shit.
“I’m not going crazy.” Nylune waved him off, snatching the box, too embarrassed to tell him why he’d bought the stuff in the first place. He stuffed the patches in another box and closed it as best he could. He should find a place to store them. It’d be useless to stick the scent patches on the wall now. The alpha was only moving in after thirty days. He’d wait until then.
Hazi stared at him weirdly, his eyes assessing.
Time for him to go.
“You should connect with your alpha and tell him to come and fetch you. Thank you for the food, the groceries and for coming to check on me. Without you I’d have no one to talk to.” Nylune walked to him and pulled him into a hug, knowing very well that he hated it. He wrapped his arms around him and squeezed him tight for good measure. “You’re the only family I have.” Nylune pulled back and stared at him. He almost laughed at the horrified look on his face.
“You just had to make this uncomfortable, didn’t you?” Hazi shook his head and walked to the door. “Don’t make my visits weird. Or I won’t come back here,” he said sternly but his voice lacked heat.
“Sorry,” Nylune bit his lips hiding his smile. “I forgot you hate any kind of affection. I’ll hug you in my thoughts.”
Hazi stared at him and shook his head. He pulled out his connector. “I’ll see you soon. Don’t do anything crazy, okay?”
“I won’t,” Nylune said. Hazi nodded and walked out of the door. Nylune sighed, his eyes falling on the boxes.
What the hell happened to me last night? There was only one person who could tell him. Nylune ran up the stairs to his room. He picked up his connector from the bedside table and clicked through it to find Dr Micha’s code.
“Nylune, is everything alright?” he said a few seconds later.
“Yes, I’m fine. I…”
“Did something happen?” Dr Micha asked, worried.
“Uhh… yes. Last night I ordered some items from a site. I thought I bought only a dozen of them, but I have more than a dozen boxes downstairs right now. I don’t remember ordering that many items. I think I blacked out or something.”
“Blacked out? Is this the first time you don’t remember doing anything?”
“Yes. It never happened before.”
Dr Micha went silent. Nylune wondered what he was thinking. “I’ll come this afternoon and run some tests. Maybe you’re reacting to the pills. You haven’t reacted to the pills before, but it’s possible to develop a sudden intolerance. I hope that’s not the case.”
So, it was because of the new alpha then?
“You normally don’t have your heat in the afternoon, right?”
“No. The morning one will begin soon,” Nylune said. And as if on cue his body warmed and goosebumps erupted on his arms. He had to get ready. “I’ll see you this afternoon.”
“Alright,” Dr Micha said, ending the connection. Nylune dropped the connector on the bedside table and started to tidy up his house. Done, he went to his office and got everything ready for his morning heat/job. He covered the chaise with an absorbent cloth. Nylune blushed as he smoothed the cloth under the cushion, making sure it was secure. He dripped a lot during his heats. He could already feel his hole growing wet, soaking his underclothes.
He picked out two pleasuring bots from the Ludiin had sent this month. The omega invented two to three pleasuring bots a month, but this month he must have felt extra creative to have come up with five bots. Nylune was curious to see what he’d come up with, but he placed the boxes on the chaise, and moved to make sure the recording system was on and focused on the chaise. He left the opening of the boxes to the moment when he started his testing session. He found his reactions to the pleasuring bots were authentic when he opened the boxes in the moment, not beforehand. He also wanted to be surprised and thrilled too. Being in prolonged heat kind of took away the thrill of sex. Nothing surprised him anymore. He’d done it all, felt it all. Sometimes he wished his body would stop, so he could miss the feeling, miss the tingles that ran down his spine and the wetness between his legs.
But Dr Micha would have to find a cure for that to happen.
Nylune sighed. That was never going to happen.
He turned the light down low, creating a cosy mood. He went to the kitchen and prepared a light snack. His prolonged heat might be weird and unlike anything other omegas went through, but it still left him hungry like other omegas and emotionally needy. The latter was a constant struggle.
Nylune returned to the office, placed the snacks on a tiny table close to the chaise and took off his clothes. He folded them neatly, before he climbed onto the chaise, ready to start. His routine was simple. He followed the flow of his prolonged heat using it to get his work done. In the morning he tested the pleasuring bots and wrote a preliminary review of each one. Around mid-morning he went into heat for the second time, during which he performed his second test of the pleasuring bots. His afternoons were spent refining his reviews and discussing his suggestions with Ludiin and his marketing team.
He got off work around five and then quickly prepared dinner before he went into heat for the third time. The third time was usually quick and fast. He used that time to confirm his findings and send out his final review. The fourth wave of his prolonged heat always came after he went to bed. It was the worst and most intense time of his prolonged heat. Most nights he cried himself to sleep because there was nothing to distract him then. He could feel every pulsating ache deep inside his wet hole. An ache that pleasuring bots couldn’t satisfy.
Nylune hated it because he knew what he needed. He needed an alpha. But he vowed to stay away from one. He wasn’t going back to the creature he’d become five years ago.
He wasn’t a fucking animal in heat.
