Lunar or Later - Chapter 4

Note: This is a top tier patron fic. Thank you to the top tier patron! 

Lena’s Google search inevitably led her to a subreddit on alphas from other planets. It took her over an hour to find anything on Kryptonians, and then a further forty five minutes to weed out the bullshit from the truth. The information was sparse, but what she did find out was enlightening.

Apparently Kryptonian alphas proved themselves by devoting their energy to pleasing a potential mate during the omega’s first heat. They had to show that they could take care of the omega’s sexual needs without being selfish. If the alpha managed to hold out on their own pleasure, the omega would decide if they wanted to grant them the right to exclusively court them. If the alpha failed, the omega could then reject them until entering another heat cycle, or accept the alpha by performing their own ritual. If the alpha failed a second time, the laws of Krypton stated no courting would be allowed between the two of them, and they would each have to find another mate.

Alphas that shamed themselves twice in pursuit of a mate forfeited their orb, and this was seen as the biggest disgrace of their honor.

Why a marble held such weight to a fully advanced society was beyond Lena’s grasp, though she was infinitely more curious as to why Kara entrusted her with such an important object.

Lena cuddled up under a blanket with Doris in her lap and spent five hours scouring the internet about Kara’s cultural customs and the absurdity of the courtships. It was hard to tell what was real by the end of her search, though Lena knew that she would do whatever it took to seduce Kara and get the fool out of her system.

By the time the sunlight filtered through her curtains, Lena had mentally prepared herself for the outrageous practices of the Kryptonian’s customs. She got dressed and packed a bag full of supplies with the intent to get to the office before anyone else did.

She fed Doris some of the kitten chow she found in a plastic bag that Kara brought over, and frowned when she noticed a box of chocolates, along with two peculiar packs of condoms. The package claimed that the condoms could prevent knotting with an extra strength band that secured around the base to stop swelling.

It went against Kryptonian custom to sleep with an omega without engaging in courtship, but this was clear evidence that Kara doubted her own abilities to resist.

That knowledge was a boost to Lena’s ego, but not enough to the point that she could stop resenting Kara. She knew it had been a cultural misunderstanding that caused most of their problems, but that didn’t explain why Kara had to pretend to be so sweet and dense.

Lena had plenty of experience with alphas, and it irritated her that Kara behaved like it was in her genuine nature to be kind and considerate. She blamed her heat and Kara’s alien pheromones for reducing her to the kind of omega that couldn’t function without getting off, and that made her hate Kara even more.

“I’m going to do things I’m not proud of today, so don’t judge me,” Lena informed Doris, who meeped and curled up against her chest. The kitten’s little paw stretched out to rest on Lena’s chin and she fought against the surge of warmth and comfort that rushed to her heart. “And don’t get comfortable,” Lena rasped thickly, “You belong with the idiot who adopted you, not here with me.”

Doris didn’t seem to give a damn that she was trying to close off her heart, and the softest purr emanated from the small ball of fluff.

Lena wrapped a scarf around herself and fashioned it into a hammock for the kitten before she hurried out of her apartment. She needed to grab a few things before work, along with at least five energy drinks, since she hadn’t slept a wink.

She stalked into Spherical Industries like a woman possessed a full half hour before the office was technically open and deployed her plan with as much accuracy as any lunatic grasping at straws.

In order to accept Kara’s courtship, she needed to bestow her own gifts in her family colors while donning Kara’s red and blue. Since Lena grew up on Earth without any colors of her own, she picked her two favorites, green and purple.

Lena deposited Doris into a cat bed she had purchased and left her on her desk while she spread out a bunch of red grapes, a few figs, and passion fruit across Kara’s desk. She placed green grapes, green apples and limes among them and then took immense delight in filling all of Kara’s drawers with purple and green paper clips and corresponding glitters. In lieu of yarn, Lena unloaded four cans of silly string all over Kara’s chair, her computer screen, and around her desk.

With that handled, Lena raced back to her own desk and began pulling on sweaters, t-shirts, and leggings. She alternated between blue, red, and yellow until she wore so much she could hardly sit down in her own seat.

When she was finished, Lena looked twice the size in her mismatched clothes, and her pale face was a ruddy shade of red from her heat combined with the exertion.

Coworkers stared at her when they began to filter into the office, and she wasn’t even through with the worst part of it yet because Kara was uncharacteristically late to arrive.

Lena still had to dance for the alpha while holding Kara’s preferred food.

It was still too early to order Chinese take-out, so she settled for purchasing a box of sticky
buns. Soup dumplings had the potential to be even more messy, but Lena ended up with glaze all over her hands before Kara showed up.

Lena’s last preparation was to pull on a long cloak she bought from a costume shop because it resembled what omegas wore on Krypton. The sleeves were so long that they flapped around her like bird wings when she started performing the only dance she knew. She balled her hands into fists while moving her arms back and forth.

The embarrassing silence that came over the room was too much for her, and she had to drop a sticky bun to enact her contingency plan.

She had borrowed Jack’s iPod earlier that morning, along with his mini speaker, and she pressed the shuffle option as she noticed Kara’s bright and delighted eyes land on her.

It was too late to back down now, and she began to shimmy again as the music blared Shake that ass for me, shake that ass for me, c’mon girl.

Lena saw Andrea mouth “Is she drunk?” and James’ face as it screwed up with laughter.

Jack rushed out of his office and stopped short when he spotted his devices in the mix of Lena’s humiliating demonstration.

She tried to turn off the iPod, but instead it switched to a Cardi B song, and Lena continued to shake her hips to Certified freak, Seven days a week, Wet ass pussy.

To finish off the entire ordeal, Cat Grant stepped off of the elevator at the same time and lowered her sunglasses to glance around at the mess and at Spherical Industries’ two top scientists, who were at the center of it all.

Kara barely had the chance to appreciate the horrific outfit Lena wore, though she did manage a quiet growl before Jack marched over in a cross mood.

“Kara, you have a ten o’clock meeting with Miss Grant, and Lena, I’d like to see you in my office.” Jack’s tone brooked no room for argument, and he lifted an empty can of silly string from the desk before stalking off.

Lena cringed at the scent of embarrassment that Jack leaked through the office, and trailed after him to avoid further scrutiny from her coworkers. She had only stepped foot through the door when Jack slammed it shut behind her and hissed incredulously, “What the hell was that? If we lose Cat Grant as an investor because you’re high—”

“I’m not high,” Lena spat back, and dropped a sticky bun in Jack’s wastepaper trash so she could tug off her stupid cloak.

“I was—it’s Kryptonian culture to welcome Kara,” Lena blurted, her mortification compelling her to find some sort of reasonable excuse before Jack fired her for such inappropriate behavior.

“You’re trying to bullshit me,” Jack began, his critical eyes finally noting the excessive number of shirts she was wearing. “Why are you wearing a week's worth of clothes?”

“I told you, it’s a cultural thing,” Lena stressed, half tangling herself in a sweater as she pulled it over her head and flung it at her feet. “Are you forgetting the other week when Kara decorated my entire desk with yarn and filled my drawers with other people's stuff?”

Jack’s perplexed frown culminated in an aggravated huff, and Lena seized her opportunity to carry on uninterrupted. “You told me to make her feel welcome. You pushed us to be lab partners, and I’ve spent weeks trying to understand all of her strange customs.”

That was hardly a lie, and Lena squared her jaw to defiantly glare up at Jack. “All of this is part of Kara’s culture to — to ask for permission to work with an omega who isn’t her mate. If I didn’t reciprocate all of her weird behavior, she’d have to work somewhere else.”

Lena was on a roll, and she was fired up enough from the humiliation to take it a step further and put Jack on the spot like he was the one acting crazy. “Is that what you want, to lose our alien to another company? Because if Kara walks out, I’m pretty sure Cat Grant will follow her. If you don’t believe me, go and ask Kara how she feels about all of this.”

Jack gaped at her in mind boggled silence and tossed his iPod onto his chair before high-tailing it through the office in search of Kara.

Lena used the privacy of Jack’s suite to shed all of the extra clothes, and when she hurried after her boss, she was much cooler in a pair of tight blue jeans and a red blouse with a low neckline.

Fortunately Cat Grant had already left, and Kara was alone in the lab sitting in front of one of the larger machines.

“Kara, how did it go with Cat?” Jack asked as he slid into the seat beside her and glanced up at Lena, as if he was going to find out she was a liar.

“She’s very pleased with our progress,” Kara reported with a nod, though her attention kept drifting to Lena and she stared open-mouthed at the color combination she wore.

“And how do you feel about working with Lena on all of these projects?” Jack pressed, a little calmer now that he knew his investment funds were secure. “Do you feel good about your partnership?”

“Our partnership?” Kara blurted with embarrassing swiftness, and Lena could see the exact moment that the Kryptonian misinterpreted the question. “Lena is the perfect partner. She’s so giving and eager to please, but it’s important we take everything slow and stick to the traditions.”

“And your cultural traditions include dressing up like you’re going on a high altitude hike while gorging yourself on sticky buns?” Jack questioned with a smile as he casually propped his elbow on the back of a chair. “I would love to be able to dictate what an omega wears to work, but then HR would get involved.”

Kara laughed at Jack’s stupid questions like he had told the funniest joke, yet her gaze remained on Lena, even as she corrected him. “Only an omega who accepts a partnership with an alpha wears clothes to represent the alpha’s house. The gift of food is the same on your planet. It’s a welcoming gesture.”

“Huh. I’ll be honest, I thought Lena was—well—not in her right mind this morning..” Jack confided like she wasn’t standing there glaring right at him. “Most people don’t dance in their workplace wearing half their closet, but if it’s secured your position with Lena—”

“Oh, it has,” Kara rambled enthusiastically, “I’m so happy, and we’ll continue to work on our—”

“Project with the nanobots, yes, fantastic,” Jack cut her off in relief and stood up to warily clap Lena on the shoulder. He walked her over to the door while he lowered his voice and murmured, “Look, I’m sorry I doubted you, but I’ll let everyone know that you just secured Kara’s position here with us.”

Without the extra clothes, the scent of Lena’s heat was wafting in the air, and from the way Jack was staring down her top, it was clear that it affected him.

“Great, well I better get back to work, and you should go inform everyone that I’ve earned a bonus for being brilliant,” Lena intoned.

“Right you are,” Jack laughed, his hand moving to Lena’s lower back before he caught himself and hurried out of the lab.

Lena locked the door behind him and prepared herself to be as sweet as pie as she turned to smile at Kara. She could smell success drifting between them, strong alpha pheromones of attraction, and she was prepared to break their sexual tension right then and there if Kara said the word. Her expectations were soaring when they shared another smile, and she blushed as she took the seat next to the Kryptonian.

“I think we should take the next step in our relationship,” Kara proposed and slipped her hand into her trouser pocket.

Lena’s eyes dropped to Kara’s pocket and she wondered if the alpha was going to whip out one of those special condoms to prevent knotting. She placed her fingers delicately on Kara’s arm and squinted at her.

“We’re going to need more than one if we’re finally doing this,” Lena whispered, her full lips poised to give more than a compelling argument.

She was considering taking off the rest of her clothes when Kara pulled out an iPhone and began texting someone. Before Lena could complain about Kara’s rudeness, the alpha bashfully turned the screen to show her a message.

“I texted my Earth family and they will meet you tonight,” Kara announced with an adorable, proud smile, then slipped her arm around Lena. “It’s the most important part of our courtship. Even though you can’t meet my Kryptonian family, I can still honor you this way.”

Lena nodded along like she understood the weird ins-and-outs of Kryptonian dating. “Honor me. Right.”

A protest formed on the tip of Lena’s tongue about how she would like to progress in a more carnal way. She would have uttered it had Kara not put her phone down to clasp her by the jaw and turn Lena towards her for a kiss.

Lena never noticed how effective that move was until that moment. The confident way Kara showed dominance by holding her face while they kissed instantly flooded her panties with slick, and she moaned despite the internal mortification that her omega had submitted.

Lena’s greedy fingers slid across Kara’s thigh in pursuit of what she desired the most, but Kara stopped her short with a quick hand on her wrist. She whimpered in frustration, and her pheromones became distressed until Kara took pity on her and tugged her onto her lap.

The rush of adrenaline that burst through Lena’s bloodstream reached dizzying proportions and she cupped Kara’s face to deepen the kiss with ravenous intent. The solid length of the alpha’s cock was pushed into her backside and even that slight contact was enough to get Lena going. She rocked forward in an attempt to create friction and Kara caught her with a warm palm between the thighs that stilled her hips.

To be held in such an intimate place brought a vulnerability to Lena, and her confusion resulted in her halting her advances. Kara seemed pleased with that, and continued to make-out with her like she had never fingered her to multiple orgasms in the lab they were currently occupying.

“We will resume this after work,” Kara rumbled and placated Lena with a few gentle pats against her fully covered cunt.

The alpha placed her back into her own seat and returned to her task, and Lena tried hard to bury the anger at being cast aside while her entire aura was calling to Kara for sex.

Trying to focus proved taxing, especially when her eyes drifted to the bulge in Kara’s pants more than the device in front of them. Twice she input the wrong command and sent the nanobots into a swarm that seemed to be fighting itself.

Lena ruefully realized she could relate to the tech in that state, and noted that Kara had no
problem taking care of the prototype and setting it back into rest mode.

After three hours of sitting knee-to-knee with the alpha in the locked lab and huffing her proud pheromones, Lena was twitchy and so on edge she considered stuffing her own hand down her jeans to relieve some of the tension.

Her thumb grazed her zipper discreetly, and just as she was tempted to go for it, Andrea’s sultry voice called through the door and killed Lena’s libido more effectively than heat suppressors.

“Kara, I hope you don’t mind, but your kitten was hungry, so I picked up some food for her on my lunch break. She’ll be at my desk. You can come over and collect her whenever you want.”

“Her name is Doris and I fed her this morning,” Lena snapped.

She would have rushed to rescue the kitten from Andrea’s clutches if not for the fact that she was loath to acknowledge that Doris belonged to her.

It irritated her how Kara jumped up from her seat to speak with Andrea, and how she opened a bag to pull out a container of cookies, which she promptly handed over to the other omega.

“I baked these last night with your recipe,” Kara cheerfully exclaimed and gripped the frame of her glasses to push them back on her face. “They were so amazing that I wanted you to try some.”

Lena simmered with jealousy as Andrea reached out to brush her hand down Kara’s arm. Her bitterness curled her lips downward into a sneer and she knocked back the chair she was sitting in as she stood up.

“Kara, I’m going to check on our kitten.” Lena used a tone of voice that implied that Kara should join her. If that wasn’t enough for the Kryptonian to get the hint, she hooked their arms together.

She managed two steps before her momentum ended, since Kara was as solid as an anchor, and even when she tugged the alpha’s arm, the Kryptonian didn’t seem to budge. It would have been humiliating if Kara hadn’t handed off the whole box of treats and then decided to follow her, but Andrea had witnessed the debacle and was smirking around a mouthful of cookie.

The other omega moaned provocatively, but Kara was already dragging Lena away from the lab to find Doris.

Lena bit back the irrational urge to flip Andrea off and tell her that she hoped she choked. The feeling appeared mutual, because Andrea’s pheromones were gloating and her eyes were narrowed.

Lena was pulled out of her thoughts when Kara murmured sweetly, “Kir :bysh, nahn rrip voi?”

Lena frowned at the alpha, her face softening when Kara untangled their arms to pick Doris up with a gentle hand.

The kitten gave an almost silent meep, and Kara nodded like she understood her perfectly as she lowered her face so Doris could press her forehead against Kara’s in greeting.

It was the first time Lena had wanted to understand Kryptonese, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the way Kara’s face lit up when she used it with Doris.

“What did you say?” Lena whispered so as not to intrude on the moment, but Kara just smiled and held Doris out to allow her to pet the kitten.

There was something soft and as sweet as a marshmallow transpiring between them, and Lena instinctively stepped back with an excuse to return to work on her lips.

She never managed to say what she intended, because she collided with a solid object, and then James’ low rumble met her ears. He steadied her with a not so innocent hand on her hip that moved towards her ass.

“Lena, you never returned my calls last night,” James stated, his deep baritone sending a shiver of revulsion down her spine.

She moved out of his grasp before his fingers could travel lower, and forced herself to smile as she snapped, “Then I must have been busy.”

Kara’s cheeks darkened to a shade of red and she forced a smile of self-restraint onto her face. Lena noticed it out of the corner of one eye and how Kara’s hand was flexing when James reached out to touch her shoulder.

“I know your heat is really getting to you,” James commented, much quieter this time, as if he actually cared about Lena’s privacy. “I thought this might help.” He held out his jersey for the company’s basketball team, which was covered in his egotistical alpha reek.

Lena took the jersey awkwardly, but kept it far away from her body so as not to transfer any of James’ pheromones onto her.

“I was thinking you could wear it to bed,” James explained with a concerned squint and Lena swiveled to stop him from touching her some more.

“That’s very generous of you, but I don’t need an alpha to get through my heat,” Lena growled through her teeth, though she wanted to take it all back when she glanced over at Kara.

She did need a fucking alpha, and she was furious about that, because she knew that lurking somewhere underneath all of that cuddly and kind behavior, Kara was just like James. Every alpha had the same attitude at the core of it, and Lena shoved the jersey into Kara’s hands before stealing Doris and carrying the small kitten back to her desk.

“Wow, it must be the peak day of her heat cycle,” James chuckled, loud enough that Lena could hear how he was trying to buddy up to Kara. “Every omega likes to deny it, but only an alpha can make them feel better when they’re all hormonal and moody.”

Lena glared at them and stroked Doris’ fluff for comfort.

“Oh, well, I think Lena knows herself more than we do,” Kara commented while she handed James his jersey and moved to her desk with a curious glance at Lena.

James seemed baffled by Kara’s statement and laughed about it as he walked off. “You’re not used to human omegas yet. Trust me, stay out of her way, or she’ll have you strung up by your knot before the end of the day.”

Kara’s perplexed frown was almost comical, and Lena might have enjoyed it if she wasn’t so busy glowering at James for being such an asshole.

She mindlessly kissed the top of Doris’s head and cradled her against her chest as she turned her attention back to her work. Not that she was particularly focused, because even from across the room, Lena could smell Kara’s alpha musk.

Lena breathed it in as subtly as she could and used every ounce of her willpower to ignore the alpha, who kept sending her soft smiles whenever she dared to glance her way.

By the end of their working hours, Lena was ravenous for more than just sex, and lamented the fact that she had refused to go to lunch due to James leering at her as he walked past. She bundled Doris into her scarf and met Kara in the elevator, her heart thumping when the alpha leaned in and brought a hand up to fondle her tits.

It took Lena a belated second to realize it was actually Doris that Kara was petting, and not her breasts, and she laughed awkwardly as her frustrated scent filled the enclosed space.

“We’ll need to hide her in the restaurant,” Kara murmured secretively, and scooped Doris up to settle the tiny kitten inside her jacket pocket.

“Wait, I’m really meeting your Earth family tonight?” Lena hissed. Her irritability had to do with sudden nervousness and the fact that she was still dressed in an outfit she hated.

“Yes, right now. My Alex texted to say they are at the restaurant already,” Kara joyfully stated.

If there weren’t witnesses crammed into the elevator, Lena might have killed her for not giving her any time to prepare.

In a fit of anxiety, Lena elbowed her way to one of the reflective walls and applied a fresh coat of lipstick and eyeliner. She spritzed herself with perfume, and consequently the man standing closest to her, then brushed her hair before the doors opened and everyone rushed out of the building.

“Next time give a girl some warning. I’m not even dressed for this,” Lena huffed, the furrow of her brow deepening when Kara grinned. “This isn’t funny. You’re lucky I even had make-up in my bag.”

“You are wearing my colors, and they suit you so well,” Kara pointed out with pride, and Lena got the impression she could have been wearing anything, provided the fabrics mixed red with blue.

“They’ll look nice on your bedroom floor,” Lena muttered under her breath as she followed Kara out through the lobby and down the street to a Japanese noodle bar.

At that time of day, they had to walk through throngs of people that were either heading home or out to enjoy the local nightlife.

“I would like to meet your family soon,” Kara remarked during the short stroll, and Lena panicked at the idea of her mother sitting down to dinner with the Kryptonian, or participating in any part of their courtship ritual.

“I have plans that day.” Lena lied outright, her eyes wide with terror when she imagined Lillian in one of the bizarre three-piece suits that Kryptonians wore for special occasions.

“Which day?” Kara asked, catching Lena’s slip-up as she held open the door to the restaurant.

“Sund—Sanat-turday,” Lena uttered with a hand in the air and a smile that overcompensated for her ridiculousness.

She was grateful that they had arrived and Kara ushered her to a table where Alex was waiting with an alpha who must have been her partner. They both turned to look at Lena as she scooted down a row of bench seats.

None of Lena’s past dates ever introduced her to their family, and she forgot her manners for a second while they stared at her.

“Hi, I’m Lena Luthor,” she blurted out at a delay and greeted them with a hand shake. “I’m Kara’s—Kara’s friend.”

“Kelly,” the alpha intoned and smiled at Lena and Kara with friendliness in her eyes.

“Lena is the omega from Kara’s work,” Alex clarified, as if that reference would help Kelly piece together who Lena was from stories Kara had told about her.

“The one who gave her the recipe for the cookies?” Kelly questioned expectantly, and Lena went tense as she pictured Kara’s family gathered around and enjoying Andrea’s baked goods.

“The one who made the cupcakes to welcome Kara,” Alex whispered, instantly dashing all of Lena’s hopes of making a good first impression.

“Oh, right,” Kelly breathed out, and from the look on her face, she had evidently tasted how bland and unappealing they were without any flavoring. “Those were, um, very moist,” she intoned in an attempt to say something nice about the awful cupcakes.

“I forgot the vanilla extract,” Lena heard herself say, and if her mortification wasn’t bad enough, she carried on by mumbling, “but Kara’s tasted other things of mine and she seemed to enjoy it.”

Kara didn’t even pause as she laughed and nodded along with pride. When it seemed like she might open her mouth and announce that it wasn’t food she had tasted, Lena grabbed her thigh under the table and choked on her own distressed pheromones.

“Do you need some water?” Kelly asked kindly and waved down a waiter to order a pitcher for the table.

“Kara told us all about you,” Alex stated with a curious squint, as if she was just now realizing they had met once before. “In fact, you’ve been the highlight of her day since she started at Spherical Industries.”

“Really?” Lena asked, baffled by the way that Kara’s ears turned a guilty pink when she peered over at the alpha. “What makes you say that?”

“We should be ordering the food now,” Kara insisted, thrusting a menu into Alex’s hand so fast that if Lena had blinked she would have missed it.

Kara’s attempt to change the topic fueled Lena’s curiosity, and she raised an eyebrow at Alex in a silent question. There was no way Kara had shared the intimate details of how they had fooled around, or so Lena hoped as Alex shared a look with Kelly and cleared her throat.

“You’re the only thing she talks about when she comes home from work,” Alex explained with a  smirk aimed at Kara, who looked flustered by the announcement.

“I talk about other things, too,” Kara argued, though when Alex paused to let her elaborate, she could only sputter out, “Like our inventions—”

To save Kara from the embarrassment of trying to come up with a topic, Kelly piped up with a question of her own. “So, Lena, not a fan of geodes?”

“Not when they take up the entirety of my desk, but it was a very sweet gesture,” Lena muttered, and then reached for the jug of water to fill her glass just for the excuse of gulping something down.

She wondered if Kelly and Alex were planning to interrogate her all night long, or if they would somehow express disapproval of her relationship with Kara. That could bring a halt to Lena’s after dinner plans, and the more she dwelled on that possibility, the more she pondered how to charm everyone.

Her soft dimpled smiles were genuine when Kara reached out to take her hand, but she knew she would have to try hard to win Alex over. It brought her back to her childhood when none of the kids in her class had liked her, either because of her wealthy family or because she always had the answers to the teacher’s questions.

Alex was like the kid at the lunch table whose opinion counted the most, and she was studying Lena with suspicious, narrowed eyes.

“We heard about your work on the nanobee, and about all of the triumphs and hazards that go with it.” Alex’s remarks were cunning, and a subtle way of letting Lena know she was aware of the nanobee attack she launched and her frequent competitiveness. “How do you plan to handle your partnership at work if the two of you decide to date? Isn’t that against company policy?”

Lena laughed involuntarily and spat out the wrong response. “No. Our boss sexually harasses me all of the time, so it’s safe to say HR has no problems with interoffice relationships.”

“He sexually harasses you?” Kelly asked, clearly appalled by Lena’s blunt honesty.

“I mean—yeah, but isn’t that just typical alpha behavior in the workplace?” Lena mumbled, glancing back and forth between Kelly and Alex and realizing that she messed up.

She could smell angry alpha pheromones, a charred reek that wafted from Kara and Kelly, and she wondered if it was too early in the dinner to hide in the bathroom and not come back.

Instead she found her inner strength and spread her hands on the table while explaining, “I really like Kara and I love my job, so we can make it work.”

“Of course you can,” Alex agreed sympathetically, as though she too had experienced some type of work related conflict in a relationship before.

That relaxed Lena from her defensive stance, and she ordered a drink to help ease out her tension. She coped with the rest of it by sliding a hand into Kara’s pocket and petting Doris, and she had just enough alcohol in her system to forget how that might look to everyone else in the restaurant.

Alex coughed into her drink when she noticed Lena’s hand moving, then proposed, “Maybe we should hurry up and order dinner—“

“Oh, no, it’s not like that,” Lena blurted and slid her hand back into Kara’s pocket to retrieve Doris and prove her innocence, but the small kitten was nowhere to be found.

Kara didn’t do her any favors when she sighed happily and slid lower in her seat. The way her own hand moved under the table with an almost lazy motion caught Kelly’s attention.

“Kara, remember when we discussed what behavior is appropriate in public?” Kelly whispered, and Alex looked everywhere but at them as she drained the rest of her drink. “This is one of those things.”

“Oh,” Kara uttered, absolutely crestfallen until she turned towards Lena with a smile and said the worst thing imaginable, “But she likes it when I do this for her.”

If Alex’s eyes widened any further there was a good chance they would roll across the table. Everyone was suddenly staring at Lena, and she could feel a blush scald up her neck to reach her face.

“That sounds worse than it is,” Lena tried to explain, and then dropped her hand down to Kara’s lap to find the kitten and discreetly lift Doris into her own hands.

The sight of fluffy ears and big, round eyes immediately softened the tension at the table, and Kara eagerly pressed herself closer to lavish attention upon the tiny cat.

“This is Doris,” Lena explained with pride. “We adopted her yesterday when we went out to lunch together. Kara likes to keep her close.”

“Oh thank god,” Alex exhaled and Kelly dissolved into laughter.

After everyone took turns petting Doris, they finally ordered their dinner. Lena suggested a few items for Kara to try based on what she had seen her eat before — which was everything, because apparently Kryptonians were alien garbage disposals.

They discussed lighter topics, and Lena found out that Kelly was a psychologist and that Alex worked for some kind of law enforcement.

“So what made you enroll in the sponsorship program?” Lena asked, because the question had been burning inside her since she had sat down. “Were your parents happy when you told them you’d be welcoming an alien into your family?”

“Well, my mom’s a scientist and my dad died when I was a kid, but he loved astronomy and was convinced we weren’t alone in the universe. I always wanted a sister, so it just felt right, you know?” Alex smiled across the table at Kara when the alpha reached out to squeeze her hand. “Best decision I ever made.”

“One of the best decisions,” Kelly teased, their playful banter easygoing and soft.

Lena wondered what that felt like—to be able to gaze at someone and share a whole conversation without words. It never occurred to her that Kara looked at her the same way Kelly looked at Alex, or that, despite herself, she shared glances with Kara when she thought nobody was watching.

By the end of the evening, Lena left the restaurant on Kara’s arm, and she didn’t have to ask if she had managed to pass the final phase of Kryptonian courtship.

Kara’s alpha was exuding sexy and powerful pheromones, and this time when they ended up on Lena’s doorstep, Kara was eager to follow her inside.

She made sure that Kara and Doris were comfortable on the couch, then hurried off to shower and to change into lingerie.

The thin black thong that Lena selected gave her just enough coverage to conceal a strip of skin and her coordinating bra was sinful. Her breasts barely fit in the cups, and she rubbed at a sensitive nipple before sliding the straps into place.

Going out to dinner had held her libido in check, but being alone in her apartment with Kara was more than her omega could take. The sensible, intelligent part of her was judging the rest of her, which was a shuddering hormonal disaster.

The few times in the past that she invited an alpha back to her place, Lena had worn extra clothes to just to stop them from leering at her, and now she was practically naked because she wanted Kara to do so much more than look at her.

Lena picked up Kara’s orb from where she had left it safely nestled in a velvet lined jewelry box. She had read that Kryptonian omegas were supposed to provide a protective covering.

With the small box in hand, Lena hurried back into the living room to spot Doris all curled up in her cat bed.

Kara was sitting in her favorite chair by the window where Lena liked to read and stargaze.

“I believe this is yours,” Lena whispered flirtatiously, and though she meant to hand over the box with Kara’s orb, she stood quite provocatively with her arms aside. She looked like she was talking about her pussy, and from the way Kara’s mouth opened and her eyes trailed down her body to settle between her legs, it was obvious the alpha thought that was what she meant.

Lena made the decision not to correct herself and straddled Kara’s lap as she set the orb aside.

The energy between them was sexually charged and inhaling Kara’s potent alpha musk sent goosebumps across Lena’s skin. She was ready for this, so ready, and when her hands went to Kara’s belt, the last thing she imagined was that the alpha would stop her from pulling it free.

Her whine was petulant and stuck in her throat when she reeled back to glare at Kara incredulously. That was as far as she got, because Kara tugged her closer to silence her protests with a demanding kiss, and Lena’s omega melted into it with a moan. Still her fingers itched to touch, and when she began popping buttons on Kara’s shirt, the alpha allowed it.

“Lena, you look so beautiful in this,” Kara uttered, and for a brief moment Lena wondered if Kara understood the difference between wearing a dress and being scantily clad in lingerie. Not that it mattered, because Kara’s praise made her feel sexy and Lena enjoyed the way the alpha’s large palms cupped her tits for an enthusiastic squeeze.

“Why don’t you help me out of it and I’ll do the same for you?” Lena suggested with a sultry rasp and captured Kara’s lower lip to suck.

“I want to admire you in it,” Kara asserted, like that was somehow more important than getting Lena naked.

It took all of Lena’s willpower not to show her irritability, and she soothed herself with the notion that they could still fuck regardless of the tiny thong that hardly concealed her cunt anyway.

“Then admire me,” Lena prompted, and pushed Kara’s shirt off her shoulders to expose her wonderfully muscled physique.

God, the things she was going to do to the alpha should have been illegal. One second Lena’s hand slid down to fondle Kara’s erection through her pants, and the next she was suddenly face down across the alpha’s lap with Kara squeezing her ass.

“You’re still in heat,” Kara commented, her long fingers dipping between Lena’s cheeks to rub the silky fabric along her wet slit.

Lena would have rebelled if not for the way Kara’s middle finger pushed aside the thong to tease her clit with light strokes. She gasped from the attention, her mind and mouth disconnected as she blurted, “But I danced for you. We can fuck now.”

Kara’s finger moved back and forth over her pussy lips as if deliberating about what they should do next. Lena was afraid that the alpha was going to slide her thong back into place and bring up the fact that she had yet to meet Lena’s family.

Her wild and sexually desperate omega insisted that if that happened, Lena would be phoning up her mother in the middle of the night and arranging an immediate reunion, no matter the personal damage that caused.

To her utter relief, Kara said nothing and rubbed into her neglected cunt with the heel of her hand while firmly pushing a finger inside of her.

“I’m going to make you feel so good,” Kara promised and massaged her lush inner passage to open it up with insistent strokes. “But you need this first, Lena.”

Making her meaning clear, Kara inserted another finger and used the two to stretch Lena’s entrance.

It calmed Lena’s omega to hear that this time there was a reasonable explanation as to why Kara denied her. She was so turned on by the fact that Kara had to prepare her for sex and the solidness of the alpha’s massive erection as it pushed up against her thigh.

Kara stuffed her cunt with a third and fourth finger, and Lena moaned at how full she felt from the new additions. She caught Kara staring in wonder each time her tight pussy took so much.

“I can take everything you have to give me,” Lena boasted and slid back to sink Kara’s fingers in until the alpha’s palm was pressed against her.

Lena should have known better than to say something like that. The brief pause of Kara’s thrusts and the quiet click of a box opening should have registered when the alpha gave a groan of approval.

“You honor me, Lena,” Kara murmured in awe, her gravely tone filled with lust as she pulled her fingers free to spread Lena’s slick around her opening.

Lena whimpered at the gentle caress and then inhaled so sharply she almost choked. The blunt, cold sensation of the orb against her entrance was the only warning she got before Kara coaxed it inside her greedy hole and followed it with three fingers.

“Did you—is that your orb?” Lena asked, scandalized that the weighted marble was inside her cunt.


She clamped around the orb despite her grievance and then whined when it began to warm considerably. The deep penetrating heat loosened her inner muscles and every clench of her cunt sent the orb back to Kara’s fingertips for the alpha to push in.

“I’ve longed to give you Rao’s blessing,” Kara informed her with pride, and from the heady scent of her pheromones, she was incredibly aroused.

Once the initial embarrassment of the situation passed, Lena was startled by how pleasurable it was inside her tight passage. She knew next to nothing of Rao, but if his idea of a blessing was to promote exceptional orgasms, then she was on board with it. Lena had never experimented with love eggs and now she was starting to think that she had been missing out over the years.

“Do you feel Rao’s light?” Kara asked, her fingers keeping the orb as deep as she could while she strummed the soft ridges of Lena’s cunt.

Lena certainly felt something, a low vibration of sorts that seemed to intensify with every sporadic spasm of her cunt. She belatedly realized she was rocking into Kara’s hand, the sloppy sound of her pussy a testament to how much she was enjoying herself. Lena’s quiet moans grew louder when she recognized she was about to come from what Kara was doing to her, and her voice was frantic as she whimpered, “Yes, I-please, I’m so close, go faster, go-ooh—”

Kara’s furious fingers worked into her so fast that Lena quaked from the pleasure. She came with a cry and Kara caught the orb as it slipped out of her pussy in the throes of her finish.

The release barely sated her due to her heat, and she scrambled onto her knees to tear open Kara’s pants with a growl of frustration.

“No more waiting,” Lena insisted, her wild eyes searching Kara’s while she wrestled with the alpha’s belt and the zipper on her pants. “I can’t take another minute of this without you inside me, do you understand? Not your fingers, Kara.” The stern way she hissed the words made it clear she was at the end of her patience, and she didn’t care how desperate she sounded.

If they didn’t fuck now, they never would, and then her experiences with Kara would become her villain origin story, like in those ridiculous superhero movies.

She whimpered when Kara lifted her, and braced herself to rant in outrage, though this time the alpha carried her into the bedroom.

Kara put Lena down on the mattress and took off her pants. As soon as the alpha’s ass touched the sheets, Lena was on top of her and grinding herself into Kara’s impressive erection.

It didn’t matter how crazy she seemed or if she made a fool of herself, she just needed every inch of Kara’s cock inside of her. She almost fell off Kara’s lap in her haste to grab for the condoms that were sitting on her nightstand.

“Put one of these on,” Lena commanded, though she beat Kara to it and ripped a condom packet open with her teeth. She sank onto her knees in front of Kara and licked from the tip of the alpha’s erection down the length of her shaft and back again. Her lips latched onto the head, getting the thick circumference of it nice and slick before she wrapped the latex over it.

“Now pound my cunt so hard that I’ll be hoarse from screaming your name,” Lena rasped and positioned her pussy over Kara’s huge cock with every intention of impaling herself.

Kara’s hands landed on her hips and stopped her just half an inch shy of her goal. Lena reached for Kara’s stiff length with both hands, but the alpha had different ideas and arranged her on the bed in a submissive and prone contortion.

Lena was livid, but she loved how Kara took control of her body — how simple it was for the alpha to pin her down and have her way.

“I will give you what you want,” Kara whispered and swiped the head of her cock through Lena’s pussy lips to gather up her wetness. “We can do this every day of your heat until you feel better.”

Lena had no idea why she nodded, because she only intended to do this once to resolve her sexual tension, though the very first thrusts of Kara’s cock inside her pussy was all the persuading she required to want to do it again.

The contoured tip of Kara’s shaft felt so good when it entered her that Lena’s legs curled around the alpha’s hips. Kara pushed them out of the way and slammed through the tight warmth inside of Lena.

Her cunt instantaneously locked around the invading girth, pressing hard around it in an instinctual desperation for Kara’s seed.

All of the deprivation over the past week was entirely worth it to experience the extreme internal stretch when Kara forced her solid cock all the way into her cunt. It was a struggle to take every inch of it and Lena trembled from the incredible fullness.

“Fuck, oh fuck, more,” Lena whimpered, her legs uselessly trying to ensnare Kara until the alpha finally held them open with her large hands.

The bite of Kara’s fingers along her inner thighs caused Lena to undulate, and she whined when Kara pulled out halfway.

“No, no please, I want this, I need it,” Lena rambled in panic, because some part of her was paranoid that the alpha would just pull out entirely and leave her to lose her mind.

“I know you need it fast,” Kara asserted, and brought her hand up to tug the black cups of her negligee down so that her breasts spilled free. Lena’s nipples pebbled from arousal and her tits jiggled when Kara began a quick pace that knocked the breath from her lungs.

“Just like this,” Kara rumbled, her eyes devouring the sight of Lena so spread and eager to take her cock.

“Yes,” Lena moaned, her filthy noises spurring Kara on as the alpha rocked harder to fuck into Lena’s cunt.

She palmed at her own breasts in excitement and mewled when Kara batted her hands away to replace her fingers with her mouth.

The warmth of the alpha’s soft lips around her nipple caused a filthy groan to escape Lena’s throat and she grabbed for Kara in an effort to pull her closer. She rolled her hips provocatively, fucking Kara back until the alpha grasped her hips and forced them flush against the bed while she pounded into her with vigorous thrusts.

Lena made noises she wasn’t proud of and her breathy exhalations were laced with keening moans when Kara pinned her wrists above her head to give fuller lunges.

She was already anticipating the noise complaints from the neighboring apartments when Kara’s cupped her pussy to rub two fingers into her clit.

The extra friction led to the first of many orgasms for them both. Lena’s cunt clamped so tight around Kara’s cock that the alpha deposited a generous load of seed into the condom with an impassioned groan.

Kara replaced it as soon as Lena’s pleasure tapered, and Lena noticed that in the few seconds that the alpha’s erection was free of the latex, it swelled even more.

The alpha barely slid the new latex sheath over her cock when Lena launched herself off the bed and practically climbed Kara in her haste to keep going. Every second without the alpha inside her was a torment that her omega couldn’t bear, and she released pitiful scents into the air that she couldn’t control.

“Fuck me,” Lena rasped, clawing at Kara’s shoulders as she jumped up to wrap her thighs around the alpha’s hips.

She should have been ashamed of herself for the way she began to grind herself against the alpha, her lips painting Kara’s cheek with streaks of rouge when she kissed across her face.

“I’ve been good all day, Kara. I’ll be so sweet to you, just hurry,” Lena begged, and moaned in delight when Kara’s big hands grabbed the fistfuls of her ass to hoist her up.

“So good and sweet,” Kara repeated, her lust blown pupils so dark that Lena could have fallen into the abyss of them.

The alpha turned sharply to press Lena into her bedroom wall, and Lena’s teeth clenched at the exquisite pressure of Kara’s tip trying to push into her welcoming heat.

Lena whined, both from frustration and desperation, and reached down to spread her pussy lips far apart. Their bodies were too close for her to see how obscenely wet and inviting her cunt looked as it accepted the first inch. The instant gratification was more than enough to have her crying out for more, and Kara drank down her pleasure with open mouthed kisses.

Kara restrained her wrists with one of her large hands and Lena fixated on how big the alpha was in all sense of the word when she rutted up into her. The alpha was taller, but it was easy to forget just how strong and muscular Kara was under the shirts she wore at work.

Naked and exposed, Lena could see firsthand just how broad those tanned shoulders were. It wasn’t just Kara’s cock that was thick and mapped with veins, her entire body was pure muscle, and Lena was stunned by how small she was in comparison.

She bounced with every rapid plunge of Kara’s cock and she could see how captivated the alpha was by her tits. Lena would have pushed them into Kara’s face if the pleasure of being railed didn’t leave her so lethargic.

“Kara, mmm—fuck, that’s good,” Lena keened and dropped her head to the side when Kara’s teeth grazed her neck.

Kara’s alpha emerged with all the ferocity of a mate vying to be seen as suitable, and she bit at Lena’s throat with enough force to flood Lena’s system with endorphins and dopamine. Lena never let alphas bite her there, yet she never worried that Kara would claim her without her consent.

She became utterly docile and unable to do more than beg for sexual satisfaction with whimpers when Kara sucked and growled against her neck.

Her lustful omega was in ecstasy from Kara’s capable handling of her, and it made Lena wonder how she survived her heat without experiencing that kind of dominance from an alpha before.

It was addictive to find out that Kara was such a bold lover — though Lena would never openly praise her for taking the initiative. She had too much pride for that, but not enough to stop herself from wantonly stating, “You better come inside me again. I want to see just how big you get—”

What if she couldn’t take it? How huge would Kara’s cock get without even knotting? Lena craved the answers as much as her omega craved sexual release.

She must have offended Kara, because the alpha pulled out suddenly and Lena lost all of her bravado by clinging onto her and whining. “Wait, I’m sorry. Please don’t stop, Kara. I don’t need to see. I just need you to fuck me."

The alpha looked at her in confusion, and before Lena could disgrace herself with more begging, Kara settled her hands on her waist and physically lifted her back to the bed like she weighed less than a teddy bear.

“Shh, Lena. I’m not going anywhere,” Kara vowed thickly, and splayed her hand between Lena’s shoulder blades to push her face first into the sheets with the slightest pressure.

“Up like this,” Kara instructed with a firm hand under her pelvis to raise her ass in the air. She tore the flimsy thong off of Lena’s cunt and gave her a luxurious pet between her thighs until slick seeped from her pussy lips and dripped over Kara’s palm.

“See how ready you are for me now?” Kara rumbled, clearly pleased with herself as she stroked Lena’s nectar over her cock.

Tremors of need rippled through Lena’s core and she sobbed in relief when Kara kneeled behind her on the bed to mount her with a swift charge of her hips. Lena moaned from it, and Kara’s palm settled on her lower back to rock her with fast thrusts that sent her forward. The sharp sound of Kara’s thighs battering against her ass couldn’t cover the sound of her cunt being stuffed and Lena submitted by bowing lower for the alpha.

She ripped the sheet off the corner of the bed just by pulling on it in an attempt to hold on, and Kara pounded her so hard that a painting fell off the wall. Lena’s mouth was hanging open, her lips wet from constant moaning, and she was too disoriented to care.

Having sex with Kara was so much better than she had fantasized, and she found that she trusted the alpha implicitly to take care of all of her sexual needs without going beyond her limits.

Kara’s teeth latched at the nape of her neck, and it was that total control that amped up Lena’s pleasure. Her limbs shook and bright pinpricks of light sailed through her vision as an orgasm hit so spontaneously. The rapturous feeling was life altering, and she would have come crashing down against the bed had Kara’s arms not been around her in an instant.

“I have you,” Kara uttered as Lena’s world went dark, and Lena curled into the alpha until the room came back into focus. “Do you need to rest?”

“No,” Lena softly insisted. “Oh god, no. Do that again. Do it a thousand times more.”
