Damon's P.O.V

Exhausted. I was fucking exhausted.

Biting back a sigh, I dip my head and take in a mouthful of macaroni pie and chicken, chewing slowly while I stared blankly ahead. It was a few minutes past three a.m. and this was the first meal I was having in two days.

So far, this heat had been nothing close to what I'd imagined it would be.

In all the years I thought about or heard about the heats we werewolves experienced, I'd never imagined they were so damn tiresome. All anyone ever talked about was the pleasure that came with it and how amazing it could be for mates and bonded wolves.

Which wasn't false, there was a shitton of good sex and I'd experienced the best orgasms of my life during this heat with Will. When I wasn't trying to fuck him into the mattress, the heat was fucking amazing.

The problem was, I spent most my time trying to not do exactly that.

Nobody talked about how stressful it could be when you had to hold yourself back, restrain yourself and your wolf from marking your mate. But that was probably because most wolves didn't need to hold themselves back. For wolves, it was mostly simple but Will and I's situation was far more complicated.

Over the last two weeks, there'd been several extremely tempting moments where I'd almost snapped completely and forgot all my qualms to mating Will. I'd barely managed to keep a handle on things, I even had to lock myself in a separate room a few times just to clear my head.

Retaining that much control was proving to be harder each and every time, which was more than worrying to me. 

The pills Aunt K had made for us seemed to be working best on Theo and minimally on Will, or rather his sex drive. It did manage to put him to sleep for hours at a time, but when he was awake, his arousal was just the same. In hindsight, I really shouldn't have been so surprised that they had zero effect in that area, Will's sex drive was already threw the roof before the heat got involved, so this was probably nothing to him. 

What was bothering me was that with each passing day, the pill's power over me diminished a little. Maybe it was my body adjusting and fighting off the magic in my system or maybe it was the heat growing more intense the longer we held off our mating. 

Either way, it was less than ideal that the only thing that was helping me keep control over Theo's demands to take Will and Will's consistent pleas for more, may not be of much help for much longer.

The only shining light in the whole thing was that Will was happy.

Maybe happy wasn't the correct word, but Will was most definitely enjoying the heat, I'd made sure of it. I kept him satisfied and didn't hesitate to give him more when he'd begged for it, my pleasure was second to his and I was perfectly fine with that, in fact, I preferred it. It helped tame my own urges to know that my mate was satisfied and focusing on that alone was proving to be best.

I just hoped I could keep it all up just a little longer.

"Damon," I look up at the sound of Will's sleepy voice, smiling softly when I find him walking towards me with rushed steps while rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.

I push back my chair enough for him to slip onto my lap once he reaches me, I pull him into me, holding him close as his body curls into mine and he snuggles into my neck. "Are you okay?"

"Mhmm," He hums softly already dozing back off, "Just wanted you close."

My smile grows at the words that never failed to warm my heart. Will had always been a touchy person, or at least he had been with me ever since we crossed the line of friendship all those months ago and he started to trust me. He liked hugs and cuddles, but within the heat, that part of his desires had gotten amped up.

I could count on one hand the number of times I'd been alone without Will close by since the heat started. The second I parted from his side, he was always two steps behind me and couldn't sleep still for long if I left the bed without him. 

My hunger had drawn me from his arms tonight but I should've known not to linger too long, but he had taken longer than usual to notice I was gone and he wasn't begging for release... perhaps the heat was simmering.

Pressing my hand gently to his cheeks and neck, I feel around for the raised temperature that had latched to him these last few days but surprisingly, I don't find it. Will groans in protest of my prodding, shifting in my lap until he drifts off again. 

Maybe the heat was really coming to an end.

With Will in my arms, I finish the rest of my meal and leave it in the sink before taking us back to bed. I try to leave Will in bed to brush my teeth, but take him with me when he starts whining his displeasure. Looking at our reflection in the mirror, I can't help but chuckle, Will was clinging to me like an overgrown monkey that wasn't willing to let go of his banana.

I chuckle some more to myself at the joke my mind creates from my own thoughts and frown just a little that I couldn't share it with Will now. If I knew my mate, and I did, he'd roll his eyes and shake his head disapprovingly, but he'd still smile and snort with amusement because deep down he was just as childish as I was.

I didn't mind the lust-filled version of my mate I'd enjoyed for these last two weeks, but I couldn't help but miss my Will, the one who had thoughts beyond sex. 

When I finally lay down in the bed with Will, I bring him close to me and let myself be lulled to sleep under the influence of my exhaustion. 

Hopefully, if I found favour in Goddess' eyes, tomorrow would be just a bit easier.

----

Wet lips moving slowly up and down my cock is what I wake up to, the pleasure mixed with my sleepiness leaving me in a confused limbo I was struggling to escape from. 

I groan sleepily as I blink my eyes open with some effort, my hands already moving downwards to direct Will's head as he sucks me attentively with tight lips and one wet, warm mouth that would drive me mad one day.

Soft whines and moans of pleasure come from under the sheets where Will's head was bobbing up and down as he worked me over fervently. The scent of arousal consumed our bedroom entirely, filling every corner and space with a silent mark of his need. Unable to do anything other than focus on my mate, I breathe his scent in greedily, letting his pleasure wash over my scenes and thoughts.

Looking down, I lift the edges of the sheet and pull them back until my eyes find Will.

Those pretty blue eyes I loved were now distant and barely open while he sucked the head of my cock attentively. His hands were framing my cock, holding it in place for his mouth and tongue to work over at his leisure. A strained growl leaves me at the mesmerizing sight that had my cock hardening between his lips, stretching them just a little more around me as he swallowed me down.

As if just noticing that I'd woken up and that he was being watched, Will's eyes focus on me and his cheeks heat up as he pulls his lips from my cock to lick his way up and down the length instead.

"You're awake," He slurs against my cock, slipping one hand down the stroke my balls tentatively, "finally."

Like rope slipping from my hands, I could feel my control wavering as I look down at my terribly tempting mate who seemed oblivious to how fucking amazing he looked to me right now. Locking my jaws together, I swallow and tighten my hold on the sheets to busy my hands that itched to touch every inch of him. 

So much for the heat fading...

"Turn around," I manage through clenched teeth. 

Will's eyes widen at the invitation but he shakes his head defiantly, making the vein in my neck twitch angrily. More often than not, Will was the one who controlled what we did in bed and I honestly didn't mind that at all, it was amazing either way. But during the heat, it was hard to deny that the part of me that was alpha much preferred it when I was in control.

"I want to make you feel good," Will whispers with a pout that pushes all the right buttons. 

I'd scarcely thought of Will as downright adorable before the heat but that was quickly becoming the adjective I used most to describe my mate.

"Just you," Will presses when I don't reply immediately, "please."

Something that resembles an affirmative escapes from my lips as I drop my head back onto the pillow and give myself over to my mate's wishes.

Circling my tip with his tongue, Will licks up my precum before he sucks hungrily on my tip while his hands work my cock in a firm grip. Slowly he takes more of my cock into his mouth and down his throat, his hands working with him as he moved up and down with those sinfully tight lips.

Sounds of all kinds escape me as I arch off the bed, thrusting my hips upwards in search of more of that wet cavern that was his mouth. Will moans around my length amicably, letting me slide further down his throat as he opened his mouth allowing me to take control of his mouth when my fingers found his hair.

Gripping the ends of his hair tightly, I pull Will on and off my cock with strained moans of pleasure building within my chest. When I begin to approach my climax, I dig my heels into the mattress and thrust up whenever I pushed Will's head down to take more.

Growling loudly, I thrust up one last time and hold Will still at the base of my cock as I empty myself down his throat. Pleasure filled tremors rack through my body as I ride out my orgasm with desperate gasps for air that escaped me at all attempts.

"My Goddess," I breathed out when I fall back to the bed and stare up aimlessly at the ceiling.

With my head blank and lust sated, I barely register Will kissing his way up my body until he fills my vision and his eyes meet mine, light and happy to match the pleased smile on his face. "Good?" He asks hopefully, his interest focused entirely on me instead of the erection poking against my stomach.

"That was a lot better than just good," I assure him and he beams proudly before kissing me quickly. When he pulls back, he smiles at me again before he hugs me tightly, completely ignoring his own arousal.

Strange...

"Are you okay?" I ask sceptically as I look down at him with a puzzled frown.

Will tenses for a fleeting moment before he looks at me again with blazing cheeks and a look of... embarrassment? I couldn't tell for sure, my head still scrambled from that glorious blowjob, just thinking about it made me want to moan.

"I'm fine, I just feel... it's weird, or hard to explain," He says, shifting his eyes away consciously before he looks at me again. "I feel normal, more normal than I have in a while but I still feel a little 'heat-like'."

A long breath of relief escapes me as I close my eyes and say a prayer of thanks to Goddess before I open them again and look back at my worried mate. Pulling him closer to me, I kiss him deeply, relishing in all his pleased sounds, I let myself enjoy the way he kissed me back lovingly.

I can't help but chuckle when Will whimpers once we part, his eyes focused on my lips while his own held a pout. It fell away however when he heard my chuckle and his eyes snapped back up to my own, cheeks filling with heat once more.

"It looks like the heat is coming to an end," I explain as I run my fingers through his dishevelled hair, "You're talking more and you seem more conscious of what you're doing."

Will groans and hides his face in the crook of my neck making me laugh as I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close to me. "Everything seems like some cloudy faraway dream, not memories. Gosh, did I really attack you in the kitchen yesterday?"

"Attack is a strong word," I reply trying to soften the blow.

Will groans again, no doubt reliving the way he'd all but tackled me to the floor the day before, claiming my lips obsessively before he pressed his cock to my lips and made me suck him off. It was different but I still found it kind of sexy.

"I'm sorry," He mumbles into my neck.

"It's natural, there's nothing to be sorry about," I promise him as I press kisses to his temple, "I'm just happy it's over, it's been a long two weeks."

 Will sits up at that, his eyes wide and disbelieving, "it's been two weeks?!" He exclaims and when I nod, his eyes only grow wider, "I thought it was like a day or two at most, it felt much shorter."

I scoff at that before replying, "It was much longer than a day or two, but I'm happy you enjoyed it so much time flew that quickly."

Will's eyes grow soft then as he studies me attentively, his gaze growing worried as he strokes my cheek gently. Before he can utter a self-condemning word, I cover his hand with mine and kiss it gently, "Don't say sorry, there's nothing to be sorry over. Neither of us suffered, and we made it through the worst of it without me losing control."

 Will bites his lip as he looks at me, his worrisome gaze not wavering for a moment despite my words, "You look exhausted," He whispers remorsefully, "I was such a handful, I'm sorry Damon."

"Don't make it sound like it was all bad," I say teasingly, offering him a smirk, "I more than enjoyed having you and your body in all the ways I did."

Will smiles a little at that, but the guilty expression doesn't fade entirely. He opens his mouth to reply but stops as his eyes become glazed over and his arousal begins to spread again. To my surprise, he shakes his head repeatedly before he slaps his cheeks and opens his eyes. 

"Fuck," He groans as he sits up completely, "it just happens, no warning."

Sitting up as well, I take his hands in mine and let him play with them absentmindedly as we look at one another. "By Goddess' Will, we should've mated a long time ago, the heat is meant to force us together. It makes it hard to think of anything but mating."

Will nods gently before he releases a small huff of air, "The most literal form of a one-tracked mind." I snort with amusement and he offers me a small smile, "Thank you for being strong for the both of us Damon, and for holding out, I know it must've been hard."

Hard was an understatement. It had been straight torture but I was just grateful it was over with.

"I wouldn't have been happy to mate you in that state," I reply with a shrug because it'd been as much for Will as it was for me. "I'm just happy it affected you and not me, I'm not sure things would've played out the same if the roles were reversed."

I knew Will wasn't opposed to us having penetrative sex, it was the biting part that was a grey area for us. I wasn't entirely sure I could fuck him without marking him and I didn't want to hoist my life and responsibilities onto him until he was one hundred per cent on board. Then there was the fact that I refused for our first time to be under the influence of heightened hormones.

Waiting was the best option, so even if that had made for a few tiresome days, I was happy to bear the weight of it.

"How's Theo?" Will asks with narrowed eyes as he looks me in the eye as if to see Theo through me, "Is he okay?"

I grimace a little as I reach out for Theo, the pills had weakened his will enough for me to push him down and fight against his demands to mate Will. We both knew that those weren't his true intentions, rather his instincts and the wants of our bodies, Theo didn't like things that included physical elements of the sexual variety.

"He's there," I reply when Theo meets my mental attempts of reaching him with a tentative touch, "It'll take some time before he's completely back to normal though, the pills weakened him."

Will makes a soft keening sound so I give his hand a squeeze. I knew how much he cared for Theo and it never failed to make me smile with the way his eyes lit up for him the same way they did for me. They had a special relationship that I knew Theo had always feared wouldn't be a reality for him, but Will was just as perfect for Theo as he was for me. 

I could never run out of thanks to Goddess that Theo was being loved the way he always wanted to by his mate, he deserved nothing less.

"He'll be okay," I assure Will when he doesn't reply, "The heat was far from enjoyable for him, but I'm sure he's happy that he was subdued for most of it because of the medicine."

Will nods a little before he looks up with curious eyes, "Where did you get those pills, and what are they?" 

"My aunt, Katerina," I answer, providing understanding to sweep over Will's features. I'd told him enough about her for him to know that she was a witch and a powerful one at that who was very close to our family. "They're supposed to combat the effects of the heat for werewolves. She did warn me that it wouldn't be perfect because you're human and I'm an alpha werewolf."

"I'd like to tell her thank you, can we?" Will asks hopefully before adding, "when things settle completely I mean."

Pulling him to me, I kiss Will gently before nodding my agreement. It was such a small thing, wanting to say thank you to someone who'd helped us, but it was so easy for Will like second nature. I didn't want to get ahead of myself but I couldn't help but file it away in that section in my mind Theo had marked as 'William's Luna Moments'.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Will asks against my lips, his eyes narrowed suspiciously. 

"I'm just happy to have my mate back," I tease, smiling widely when Will blushed furiously, "No more unlawful attacks in the kitchen."

"Shut up!" Will groans as he picks up a pillow and hits me with it. Laughing uncontrollably, I raise my hands to block his onslaught of pillow smacks that don't stop even as I roll over in an attempt of escaping. "You. Are. Such. An. Ass." 

With each hit, Will's own laughter grows until he's too weak to hit me seriously. He drops the pillow and lets me tackle him, leaving us rolling across the large bed until I'm laying on top of him, staring into his beautiful blue eyes.

"You are my happiness," In my head, there was rarely a time to stop myself from sharing those precious words that ran on a constant loop in my mind wherever Will was concerned.

Will's smile turns giddy and wide while his heart races within his chest, he reaches up to play with my hair and scratch gently at the nape of my neck. It makes me twist my head as always, while Theo mentally stamps his foot with pleasure, Will laughs and finally stops.

"I love you too," He says happily before pulling me down for another kiss.
