Riley had moved in and made herself at home. Overtime, Derrick began to worm up to her although at times, their conversations didn't flow as easily.
She didn't have a lot of stuff and lived modestly compared to Derrick, so it made things easy when it came to giving up some of his space. She was also involved with the household. He some what expected her to be an ass or a stereotypical Alpha, and just start ordering him around. No, she was rather sweet and kind. There were days she cooked and even cleaned especially the days and nights when Derrick was tired from taking care of little Jacob.
The first time they had sex was during Riley's rut and Derrick's heat. It was odd that they synced up like that but when Derrick spoke to his mother, Monica had laughed and said that was a normal occurrence and that even her and Doureena synced at times.
Riley was big when she grew, bigger than Jacob even. It was painful especially when it came to the knotting and being stuck together for twenty minutes. And then to have to this in three days with a baby, it was difficult and jarring. Still, through it all, Riley was gentle. She took her time with Derrick, asking him if he was okay, if she should go at a certain pace that he preferred or enjoyed more. What positions did he like best?
Derrick answered her with a flushed body saying he enjoyed the spooning position more, so Riley turned him on his side and they made love like that for the entire duration of rut.
When Derrick woke up the day after the last day of rut, he smelt bacon, eggs, and toast being made. He stretched out his arms in their little nesting room they had built for when they experienced rut or heat. It was mostly just a linen closet with no shelves and big enough for two bodies and pillows, and blankets.
He got up and walked to the kitchen and saw little Jacob in his high chair with his sippy cup. Derrick sat down, a full course breakfast slid in front of his face.
Riley smiled at him. "Eat up, I'mma head out to work soon," she said also sitting down to eat.
Making love to Derrick felt so good for her that she became red just thinking about it. He was so soft and...tight. She would be smiling all day as a result of their three day session.
"Did you enjoy it...those three days?" She asked.
Derrick placed down his fork and thought about it. "I never had sex during rut. It was painful especially during the knotting. I also wasn't prepared for your size...that could have been a factor too."
Riley nodded her head, already thinking of ways she could make it more pleasurable for him. She got up and cleaned her plate. After saying good-bye, she left for work.
Later in the evening when Derrick knew his sire was home, he came to his old house and let himself inside with the baby. Sure enough, Doureena was sitting on the couch drinking a beer with a little bit of blood still on her from a hunt.
She looked up to see her youngest son and smiled. "My, my, my," she said getting up and grabbing a hold of baby Jacob. She bounced around with him in the living room, making cooing noises as she did so.
Monica entered into the living room after smelling her son had come home. "Derrick, you joining us for dinner?"
Derrick shook his head. "No mom, I gotta get back to Riley. She's cooking tonight."
"I'm glad things are going well for you two...about a year now, uh?" Doureena commented. She handed the baby back to Derrick who then asked his mother to watch little Jacob. That he wanted to speak to his sire privately.
Doureena opened the back door to the backyard and the two stepped outside. She handed Derrick a beer who rejected it by placing his palm up.
He sat down on the step followed by her.
Gulp, gulp!
Derrick watched Doureena wipe her mouth with the back of her hand and lean against the porch post.
"Siree...did you kill Jacob?" He couldn't even look her in the eyes and she noticed, annoyed.
"Look at me when you ask me such questions."
Derrick turned to her and said it again, "Did you kill Jacob?"
"No," she said honestly, watching her son relax. "Zhiliary did. He was a betrayer. You know that, son. I don't even understand why you mated with him. Did you honestly think I would accept someone like that back in our pack?"
Derrick and Riley made love again that night. He had told her he wanted to be on his back and blindfolded but what he was really doing was escaping. Escaping to another world where he didn't have to see or know anything. A world where he was allowed to be used and be okay with that.
When Riley had finished, she inquired about making him orgasm but he waved her away, not interested in receiving pleasure at that moment.
Riley looked at Derrick, seeing something was a miss. She touched him gently on the shoulder, both of them still naked on the bed. Even though she finished, Derrick was still able to clearly see was still aroused down stairs. It was throbbing and leaking.
He looked away from it and her.
"Is it still painful?" She asked.
It was a little bit but Derrick was getting used to her size. He shook his head and offered that they go another round.
Later in the evening, Riley laid on her back naked, looking up the cieling. She was insulted that Derrick would think that she wouldn't notice. Notice how sad he was since coming back from Doureena's, notice his eyes were red and puffy, his nose sore and stuffy. Even now, her ears twitched hearing him cry out on the balcony of their shared apartment.
She got out of bed and placed some underwear and a tank top on, and walked out to where he was. He quickly tried to wipe his eyes away and not look at her.
Riley sat down next to him on the bare ground. "You can talk to me, you know." She said to him.
"Okay," he said sarcastically and filled with emotion. "My boyfriend was killed by my the pack because he was a betrayer," he shrugged. "What else can be done with that?" He mocked.
Riley kept quiet but she moved closer to him and took him within her arms, and to him, he was okay with that for the night and so, he fell asleep there after crying for sometime. Fell asleep within his new Alpha's arms.
