Aether stared at the drink before him, raising a brow at the pink liquid inside it, before he glanced at Lumine.
He needed to do this. As the Prince of Khaenri'ah, he should help his twin. After all, it sounded like Lumine had gone through a whole lot of trouble in order to find a suitable match for him. However, he didn't know too much about his supposed Alpha and husband-to-be.
Rerir the Rächer of Solnari.
From what Lumine told him, Rerir worked for the kingdom. Not that Rerir spoke about that fact with him the three times that they have spoken. No, Rerir had just been very polite, albeit a bit quiet.
Not that he minded. He was more used to being around men who loved the sound of their own voices. Having someone who was calm like he was wouldn't be so bad, he supposed.
"That is supposed to push your heat up, Aether," Lumine explained, as if sensing that he was hesitating on drinking the liquid.
"…But the wedding isn't for another three weeks."
Wouldn't they mate after the wedding? That would make sense. It was how he had heard matings went across the rest of Teyvat.
"I think it is better if you and your fiancé are mated before the wedding," Lumine replied, moving closer to her brother. "Alphas get rather protective and obsessive about their Omegas. It'll probably reduce the chance of Rerir disappearing or backing out of this arrangement if you are mated with him, Ae."
Lumine thought that Rerir would disappear? Did Rerir get strong-armed into this, much like he did? Did Rerir wish to marry someone else? He had so many questions. Questions that he had been trying to get answered for weeks. Aether opened his mouth to try yet again to get some answers from Lumine when the woman pushed a bag at him, distracting him from his thoughts.
"What's this, Lumine?"
Lumine smiled, nudging Aether to open the bag. "It is for you. Think of it as an early wedding present!"
Lumine looked far too pleased. His sister was definitely up to something. Still- he had no choice but to begin to open the bag. As Aether peered into it, his face began to burn. Lumine couldn't be serious right now.
"Lu-Lumine! It's lingerie."
Was she sure that she had given him the correct present? Or was Lumine just messing with him again? However, Lumine didn't seem bothered by his statement. She nodded, helping Aether get the garments out of the bag.
"Of course. Men like that kind of thing. Besides, I've dressed you up plenty of times in women's clothing before, Aether."
"Yes! When we were younger!"
His heart was racing so badly. He could hear it pounding in his ears. Lumine dressed him up like a girl a lot of the time when they had been so much younger. He hadn't worn anything like this in years! Centuries even!
"So then this is fine. I made sure to match the color of the lingerie to your eye color, Ae. We're going to have you drink that liquid to push your heat up, and then I'll help you dress for Rerir, okay?"
His sister had far too many plans. Aether didn't even have time to argue with Lumine any longer as his sister put the liquid to his lips, forcing him to down it all in one go. He winced at the taste. It was so damn sour.
"Lumine," Aether complained, feeling the effects of the liquid hitting his body immediately. His body began to warm, his cock hardening even as his sister began to dress him.
"It'll be okay, Ae. Your fiancé will take care of you," Lumine promised as she finished dressing Aether, beginning to help him to the bed.
"It hurts."
Really badly. His manhood felt too hard. If he could just get off, it'd be so much better for him. He wanted, needed an Alpha to come along and fuck him right. It had been so long since he had any type of companionship, let alone someone who knew how he liked to be treated.
"Rerir is on his way," Lumine replied, helping Aether get into bed. Once she was sure that Aether was comfortable, she nodded. "Just try to relax. I'm sure he won't be long."
Aether resisted the urge to roll his eyes. That act alone felt like it would take too much energy. His body felt like it was burning from the inside out. He needed to be fucked. He needed to be mated.
He barely heard the sound of Lumine leaving. Aether stared up at the ceiling, trying to ignore the fact that his cock was throbbing. He could be good. It wouldn't do for him to make a mess of the clothing that Lumine had gotten him.
Besides, as much as he tried to say that he wasn't excited at all about this arranged marriage, there was a part of him that couldn't deny that Rerir was handsome. Even if he wasn't who Rerir wanted as a mate, he could be sure to be the best Omega for him when it was all said and done.
Aether squirmed, unsure of how much time had passed. It felt like with each passing second, his heat was worsening. He wanted to get up, to make a nest. His body felt so weak. There was no way that he was getting up. Perhaps he really should touch himself, just to make the stupid heat ease up enough for him to function.
That's when Aether heard the door open. He swore time itself stopped as he caught that scent. Gunpowder, anise, and a bit of wine mixed in.
He had never smelled anything like it before. It was quite simply intoxicating. Aether forced himself to sit up, his heart pounding hard in his chest as he caught sight of Rerir, wide-eyed and staring right at him and his outfit.
"Alpha," Aether breathed as he watched Rerir swallow before the man was heading right for him.
"Shit, you're in heat, Aether," Rerir growled, his hand brushing along his body, sending a large shiver running through him. "You're all dressed up for me, too. Like a present."
He was in heat, Aether thought. He needed Rerir. They were going to be married soon like Lumine said, so this was fine, wasn't it?
"Need you, Rerir," Aether managed, letting the man see his body more. Rerir could eat him whole at this point, and he wouldn't care. In fact, he would welcome it. He just needed to be knotted. Needed to feel his soon-to-be husband's cock deep inside of him. "I-I know that this isn't an optimal situation, and I may not be who you want but-"
His words were cut off by Rerir's lips slamming home against his. Aether practically melted as Rerir kissed him as if he would die. His lips began to move against Rerir's. He felt the other crawling onto the bed with him, Rerir's body looming over his as Rerir's tongue delved inside his mouth, causing him to moan into their kiss.
Aether lost himself in their embrace, barely registering Rerir peeling down his lingerie enough to reveal his cock to the room, before he felt the man fiddling with getting his pants undone.
"None of that matters now," Rerir murmured as he broke their kiss. His forehead pressed against Aether's as he used his leg to spread Aether's legs apart more for him. "That fact of the matter is at this moment, is that you are in heat. As your partner, it is my duty to help you, Aether."
He couldn't breathe, Aether thought as Rerir's eyes darkened. Rerir's scent was all that Aether could smell as Rerir lined himself up.
"Please," Aether found himself saying, tilting his neck, showing the other his scent gland. "Wanna be mated by you, Alpha. Need your fat knot inside of me, breeding me."
Rerir laughed, the sound ringing in Aether's ears before he felt Rerir lean in. Aether sucked in a breath as Rerir's tongue licked up his scent glands. He moaned, the sound loud and shameless.
"Who knew that the Prince of Khaenri'ah was so filthy-minded," Rerir purred, sinking his teeth right into Aether's scent glands with no warning.
Aether's vision blurred as he felt Rerir bite him with no hesitation. He was gone to the feeling, his cock coming hard, as the orgasm washed over him, earning another laugh from his fiancé.
"You must want it bad," Rerir teased, rubbing his cock against Aether's waiting hole as he kissed the spot where he bit, the taste of Aether's blood on his tongue as he took in the feeling of the boy, all horny and waiting for him. "Do you feel how fucking wet you are for me? You want my knot that badly, Prince Aether?"
That wasn't even a question. Aether rubbed himself against the head of Rerir's cock, wanting him to get on with this already. He was ready. He needed to be knotted. He wanted Rerir to mate him already instead of teasing him. Aether narrowed his gaze, leaning up and finding Rerir's scent gland before he bit down hard. The taste of Rerir's blood on his tongue as he sank his teeth in deeper, as he felt the mating bond sinking into place.
Rerir sucked in a breath. This brat! He hadn't told the boy to do that! Rerir growled, watching Aether pull back an all too proud grin on his face.
"Does that answer your question, Alpha?"
He was such a shit. Rerir glared, shoving Aether onto his stomach. He lined his cock up for a moment before he pushed into his Omega. He leaned in, murmuring into Aether's ear as he slowly pushed into Aether inch by inch.
"I had intended to be gentle with you," Rerir hissed, holding onto Aether's hips tight enough that he knew Aether would have bruises later, but that could be dealt with when they crossed that bridge. "But that's not what you like, is it, Aether?"
Aether whimpered, his nails digging into the sheets. Rerir was so thick. It felt like he was stuffed full already, and Rerir hadn't even knotted him yet.
"I-I like it when you're rough with me. I like when you tell me how things are going to be, Rerir," Aether confessed, hearing himself moan again as Rerir pushed himself in deeper.
"Do you?" Rerir replied. The boy was so damn tight. He felt too perfect for him. Aether fit against him far too well. "Then you should know, I plan to fuck you often, my prince. I'm going to fuck you so often that you'll have a litter of pups in a few months."
Aether moaned in response, finally feeling Rerir beginning to fuck him. The man set a brutal pace, the sound of their skin slapping against one another echoing in the room. It felt so good. So unlike anything he had ever felt before.
"Please, please, please. Breed me. Rerir-"
He wasn't going to last. How could he? He was stuffed full of his Alpha's cock. He couldn't even think around the feeling of Rerir's cock pounding him. The man kissing and nipping along his back wasn't helping the situation either.
"Aether," Rerir breathed, feeling his knot growing. He shouldn't enjoy this. He shouldn't enjoy the way that Aether was begging for him. "Gonna give you my knot."
He shouldn't enjoy the fact that he was mated to the most sought-after person in all of Teyvat.
Aether was his. He wouldn't let the boy go. Aether was his mate. His Omega.
He couldn't help himself. Rerir leaned in, biting down on Aether's neck again as he felt the boy come around his cock. He was lost to the feeling, his knot growing to its full size as he unloaded inside of Aether.
"Rerir," Aether whined, pressing his face against the sheets a bit more. His come felt so good, even as he felt a bit of it leak out as the climax began to calm.
"I know," Rerir murmured, stroking along Aether's body. "But you're leaking, Aether. We'll have to fix that."
And they had all night to do just that. He would make sure his mate knew him quite well before the night was over.
He had waited too long for this after all. It had been a pain in the ass to get Lumine to agree to the arranged marriage.
He wouldn't waste this opportunity he had with Aether, he thought as he began to pound his knot into the boy once more.
He needed his Omega to enjoy every bit of him.
