Rain made Phayu sit on the couch, noticing that the sheets on the bed were rumpled and looking damp. He removed his over shirt, handing it to Phayu to soothe him with the scent of mate. He changed the sheets and saw that Phayu was curled up, clutching his shirt to his nose, and dozing on the couch. Rain shook his head and smiled. He went into the bathroom, filling the tub with cool water. He knew that cold water could cause an extreme reaction, but he needed Phayu to be comfortable. He went back and sat on the table beside Phayu, gently stroking his hair away from his forehead. Phayu gasped at the sensation and his eyes snapped open. "Rain?" he asked hoarsely.

"C'mon Phi, let's get you up," Rain said, not saying anything more as he helped Phayu change and get into the tub. Phayu had been courting him for a little more than a month. They had regular dates both at home and outside. The ones outside were fine. It was the ones at home which were rather impossible to bear, where Phayu always insisted on healthy foods. Rain didn't have the heart to refuse the very earnest looking man and tell him that his cooking skills left much to be desired. Sometimes, Phayu would end up with snack and drinks for Rain and his family, insisting on spending time with Rain, even if it meant that he would be just sitting there. Rain remembered the shocked look on Phayu's face when Rain had cooked for him. After that, he had understood why Rain's face was a study in contradictions when Phayu cooked.

They had kissed, and every single kiss from Phayu, and Rain would become a puddle of goo as his brains would leak out of his head. Their bond had become stronger and steadier and Rain had slowly started letting go of his fear and embracing this new journey. But seeing his Phi naked had come as a bit of a shocker. How could a doctor be this built? Rain wanted to drool, but he refrained himself, just focusing on taking care of the Alpha. Phayu suddenly moaned, setting Rain's nerve endings to fire. He wanted nothing more than to grind himself on Phayu's cock, but he had no idea how that would work and if it could harm the baby.

Rain quickly helped Phayu out of the tub and wiped him down, leading him to the bed, covering him up and lying next to him. "You should go baby, before I lose my senses," Phayu said softly, his voice hoarse with pain and regret. "Phi, I am not going to leave. And I know you will not hurt me," Rain said, hugging the man closer and snuggling into him. Phayu cuddled Rain, as he stroked the boy's back with one hand, his face buried in Rain's neck, trying to breathe in the scent of his mate. With the other hand, he stroked Rain's gently protruding stomach reverently. "Rain," he said softly. "My Rain. My baby," he said, as Rain felt a wetness on his neck.

He pulled back. "Phi?" he said, surprised. "I thought I had lost you Rain, even before I had you," Phayu said, his hand splayed on Rain's belly. "Phi," Rain said, stroking Phayu's arm, causing the older man to shudder, his body rippling with his need to rut. Rain pushed Phayu on his back and straddled him. "Rain.. no," Phayu moaned, closing his eyes against the sensation of his mate's naked body on top of his. His body inadvertently released pheromones, his arousal clinging to the very air, causing Rain to moan lightly as he felt his slick drip on Phayu's abdomen. Phayu's eyes shot open in surprise and shock, pupils blown wide open.

Rain shifted, lining his hole with Phayu's cock. His slick and Phayu's pre-cum was lubrication enough for the Alpha's cock to slide in smoothly into his mate. Phayu threw back his head with a guttural moan, the veins in his neck stretched to the extreme, sweat beading his brow at the sensations that pounded in his body. His moan reverberated down to his cock, making Rain jolt with its pulsing and hitting Rain's sweet spot. Rain rotated his hips, wanting to take more of Phayu inside and was rewarded a mindless thrust by the older man. Rain pushed down again just as Phayu caught his hips and thrust up, making them both go mad with desire. Phayu fucked in and out of Rain's hole as the whole room was filled with their sounds, the slapping of wet skins with each other, the air thick with scents that drove them crazy.

Phayu was relentless, his heart beating faster than he could imagine, while Rain was holding on by a thread. Phayu pushed up completely, one hand holding his mate's hip, and the other his cock, pumping it so that Rain would cum with him. Both of them were too far gone to realise what was happening, just moans and nonsensical gibberish that poured out of their mouths as they mindlessly chased their fulfilment. Phayu felt the moment Rain's balls tightened, his stomach contracting with how close he was, and increased his thrusts, feeling his body respond in like. Rain held on to Phayu's shoulders, head fallen back, his body open to all the assaults to the senses, and he splintered with the force of his orgasm, his hole tightening around Phayu's own cock, milking him for all his worth, as he slumped over his Alpha, Phayu's head falling backwards.

Rain sat there, straddling Phayu, head on his shoulder, trying to regain his strength. Given a choice, he would not get up, the position being perfect for him and Phayu. But he felt Phayu gently stroke the mound of his belly, bringing him back to his senses. He shifted and the movement caused Phayu's cock to slip out of him. He bit back a moan, a little shy at the slick he could feel. Phayu sat up, tugging Rain up and away from the bed, and pulling him into the shower. It felt amazing and Rain felt like he was wrapped in love as Phayu banded his arms around him, holding him close and purring! Rain was actually surprised. An Alpha only purred when he was sated and content. It was akin to singing a song for humans to serenade their lover.

And there was something else bothering him. Rain had lived with Sig long enough to know that an Alpha's ruts were something that literally drove them insane with need and want. Sig would disappear into a specially built safe room in their house the times his rut would hit, and when he would come out three or four days later, he would be a wreck. So why was Phayu so calm and collected? Why was he more concerned about keeping Rain safe? They cuddled in bed as soon as they returned from the shower, and Phayu pulled Rain tightly towards him, turning him at angle where he could put his cock inside Rain's hole. Rain was surprised with the turn of events, but even more so when Phayu just lay still, a sigh of contentment passing his lips as he purred again, cooing soft nothings, stroking Rain's belly.

Rain could hear snatches of words every now and then as Phayu muttered and he melted at the love of his Alpha. The older man was talking to Rain's baby, words like 'my baby', 'love' and 'dada' punctuating the air every now and then. Rain held back a sob just by a breath as he heard the beautiful declaration of love that his Alpha was giving his child. The soft cocoon that he was in soon lulled him into a deep sleep. He was woken up later that night when he felt Phayu move against him. Rain felt his Alpha's cock against his prostrate, the angle finding his sweet spot again and again, but Phayu was so tender and slow, that Rain was almost out of his mind in frenzy. He tried to move backwards, tried to do anything and everything he could to get Phayu to move faster, but nothing seemed to budge the man. Rain felt the orgasm building and knew he would cum any moment when Phayu suddenly started to stroke him. Rain bucked, a low keening wail escaping him, as he came, the force of his orgasm, triggering his mate's.

The two of them dropped back into sleep. The next morning, Rain was the first to wake up. He lay still for a few moments, blushing slightly as he thought of what had transpired the previous night. He got up as quietly as he could, not wanting to disturb Phayu, hoping to shower and get something made before the Alpha woke up. He wanted to make sure his mate ate something before his rut hit again. And that also reminded him to talk to Sig. Rain rushed through his morning ablutions before making his way downstairs, phone clutched in his hand. He decided to set everything to cook before calling Sig. Then later, he could take the breakfast upstairs to his mate.

But before he could do anything, Phayu came down the stairs, making a beeline for Rain, and hugged him, burying his nose into Rain's neck. "Phi, would you like to eat?" he asked. He felt more than saw Phayu shake his head as he hugged Rain even closer. "But I am hungry Phi," he said, and Phayu immediately let him go, holding him and taking him to sit on the table, then going back to the kitchen and bringing the plates. He insisted on feeding Rain, but he still hadn't uttered a word. Rain ensured that he pouted enough so that Phayu would also eat. As soon as they were done, Rain helped Phayu to the couch as he cleared the dishes. Phayu lay still, curled up on himself, until Rain went back, and sat next to him. "Phi, are you okay?" Rain asked, stroking Phayu's hair. "I am surprised your rut is not harsher."

"Because you are pregnant," Phayu said, shocking Rain. "I don't understand," he said. "An Alpha's rut is usually the signal to his brain that he needs to knot and impregnate his mate. If the Alpha is not mated, they usually spend rut alone. If they are, they spend it with their mate. If the mate is already pregnant, the rut is calmer," Phayu said. "But Phi, this baby..," Rain trailed off as Phayu's hand splayed across his tummy again. "My brain recognised you as my mate Rain, and so this baby is now mine. My rut is pretty much over because you were so selfless last night. If you had been here with me from the time it started, it would probably not have hit at all. But you came, you tried to help me, and my body knew it was with its mate and child, so the rut's intensity reduced. I will probably feel a little feverish and tired for a while, but I really don't think it's going to be as bad as it usually is," Phayu said, smiling. "Then maybe it's time we talk Phi, about us being mates," Rain said, and Phayu straightened.

"I was 12 Phi, when I met my gang of friends. I had moved with my mom to Thailand, after she divorced my father. They were not mates, just two ships sailing past each other in the night, and should have never met at all. But they did, and I was the result. My mom worked for the Korean embassy as a translator and interpreter and as such, her work kept her away. We lived in a very affluent neighbourhood, and all of them were my neighbours. Sky lived with his aunt and uncle, and had a story similar to mine, except his mom left him and his dad. Por ended up being the only beta in a long line of Alphas, the youngest child, and was pretty much a problem for his parents. Sig was an Alpha, a little more privileged, but his parents had no time to give him from their busy schedules. Ple had an older brother, also an omega, who had been born pretty delicate and sickly, and they had Ple only because they wanted to use her marrow for him."

Phayu didn't say anything as he stared at Rain. Rain looked somewhere into the distance, unfocused, as if he was watching the past. "My mom was never at home, so slowly, as our friendship built, they would end up at my house. My father had been a computer programmer himself, so I guess I had some skills. However, it was when we were 14, that some kind of weird coding competition between all of us, except Ple, ended up as a game. Ple got the weird idea of sending the game link to someone she knew, an older cousin, who was in this business. It was supposed to be a joke, but the game was so successful that P'Nick ended up buying its rights and developing it. We were shocked, to say in the least, but that's when Sig suggested that we do this as a profession, and then keep it with us until we are grown up enough to do something about it."

"The day Ple turned 18, the last of us to do so, we immediately registered ourselves as a company. The people in the Chamber of Commerce found it hilarious, but we did not give up. We set up the company, and released multiple games. In the past three years, we have gained a reputation to die for. As I mentioned, I am also a white hat hacker, so security companies use our expertise to test out alarm and other systems and keep them safe from being infiltrated. A couple of years ago, in one of my competitions, I met P'Winner." Phayu must have made some kind of sound, because Rain looked at him quizzically. "Nothing. You can continue," Phayu said, his heart banging against his ribs. He didn't know whether he wanted to know this. But he also wanted to know everything.

"Phi was a participant, and after the competition ended, we all met for dinner. We all got to talking, and Phi and I fought the whole time. It was not a fist fight, or one of those mean ones. It was more of an intellectual war about hacking. Our friends all got fed up, because apparently, sparks would fly when we met, and everybody could see them except us. But I knew something about Phi no one did. There was someone he liked, who wouldn't give him the time of the day, and he would tell me all about her. Around six months after we met, Phi called me. He was in the foulest of moods, sounded drunk and wanted me to meet him. He cried all over me about how this girl had rejected him and he was so done with her shit. I sympathised with him and cared for him, until he slept that night. I had dropped him to his house, so I was coming out of his bathroom when his mom saw me, and thought I was her son's omega. No amount of convincing could shake her and she begged Phi to not sully my name and marry me. I thought she was a lovely person Phi, but the truth was, she had researched me. While she did not know what it was that I had, she had figured out that I belonged to a well off family and would probably be her son's step up into the world. Because everything had been so forced, and the girl he liked had turned away from him even more, Phi began to resent me."

"The littlest of things would set him off, and I learnt to avoid him as much as I could. But things came to a head when he started hitting me. I could tolerate his mood swings, him not eating what I had cooked, not coming home for days, and anything else, mainly because it was not like I was not annoyed by the whole thing. But I would not tolerate anyone raising their hand on me. Finally, one day, I slapped him right back. I think that's when it hit him; that he had gone too far and that I was right, and we were just losing whatever respect we had for each other. So he agreed for a divorce, and because I had proof he slapped me and hurt me, he would ask me for nothing, as long as I didn't ask him for anything. But as luck would have it, a couple of days before our final court hearing, my heat hit. Usually, I would be home the days that happened, with my family, but that day, I was packing up the few things that I had there."

"I was about to leave, when Phi came in. He was either drunk, or high on something, and he began touching me. I did my best to resist him, but I was not in the right state of mind myself, and that's how I ended up here, like this. It was a couple of weeks after our divorce that he came up to me to apologise. His mother had mixed something in his drink, hoping I would not go through with the proceedings if he had sex with me. But at that point, all that I knew was that I had to get out of that relationship as fast as possible. She did try for stake in my company, but we are too well protected by an excellent team of lawyers and P'Winner had signed a pre-nuptial agreement, so he would get nothing." Rain finished speaking and looked at Phayu, wondering what he would see on the Alpha's face, braced for his barrage of questions.
