Chapter Text
Childe loved challenges. He was constantly searching for new ways to break conventions and challenge himself in any aspect of his life. At first, it was excelling at school while at the same time spending weekends in detention for fighting with peers. Fights that he always won, of course.
Then, after graduation, he focused on shady jobs. The more risky and difficult the better. Ultimately his involvement in the world of crime and his perfect track record caught the eye of an extremely influential and rich organization called the Fatui. The Fatui had gained enough power that they were unofficially both the rulers and military of the country. It was fun work and paid extremely well, and the organization's control within the government meant that he was basically invincible.
Now that he had found success in many aspects of his life, as well as a substantial fortune, Childe decided it was time to face a new challenge.
An alpha.
Like nearly every other person in the world, Childe was an omega. He had gone through that awkward stage in puberty where his body changed and he developed his own scent, learned all about it in an equal parts shame-inducing and hilarious lecture in health class, and ultimately started taking heat blocking medication to mitigate the inconvenience of his body's natural cycle. It was just what everyone went through.
Childe didn't care enough to know the figure well, but he knew that less than 1% of the population were alphas. Most normal people didn't think much about them. That included Childe until very recently. Sure, government officials spent time worrying about the abysmal birth rates because it was so difficult for two omegas to reproduce, but it was possible with time and effort. Plus, hopeful couples often turned to another source when they were looking to have children: mating facilities. It was the only time the average citizen really thought about alphas. It wasn't like you ever talked to them, went to school with them, or met them on the street.
With a cynical view driven by his experience with the darker side of modern society, Childe knew that normal people just didn't want to face the moral and cultural dilemma that alphas created. Because over a hundred years ago, when their numbers suddenly declined to the edge of extinction, governments and corporations seized the last of the remaining alphas. Since then, all alphas were kept, raised, and usually born in captivity. If one was ever born outside of the facilities where they were kept, it would be quickly acquired by government security upon presenting. These alpha facilities were where omegas hoping to have children went. They would pay a hefty sum to rent an alpha, mate with it, and then go home expecting a baby. That was all alphas were acknowledged for, and it was the only time normal people would ever see one. Anyone who wasn't looking to have a baby or who managed to conceive with their omega partner would likely go their whole lives without ever meeting an alpha.
Mating facilities and alphas in general were viewed sort of like an even more extreme version of the meat industry and factory farms. People knew it was problematic, but it was too far removed from daily life to really care. Come to think of it, there were probably more vegetarians and animal rights activists than people who spoke out against how alphas were handled. Plus, it was kind of important to ensure the human race didn't go extinct, so the questionable actions were justified as far as Childe was concerned. He didn’t work in the branch of the Fatui that was concerned with that sort of thing, but he was pretty sure his employers actually owned many of the facilities themselves.
Knowledge about alphas was taboo and incredibly hard to find. General knowledge stated that alphas were more like a wild beast than human. Their higher brain functions were rapidly decayed upon developing their secondary gender, making them like animals who were incapable of logic or speech. They were mean, dangerous, and only operated on the baser instincts of claiming and breeding omegas.
Oh, what a wonderful challenge it would be to dominate and breed an alpha instead.
Childe was obsessed. A simple raunchy fantasy had driven him down the rabbit hole of researching online what alphas were like and how it felt to be intimate with one. There were frustratingly few results, and sources he did find inexplicably disappeared off the internet the next day. Not even the porn could agree on anything, it was all omegas acting like alphas or frantic horny posts that seemed completely fictitious. The only thing that was generally agreed upon was that they had knots like a dog and liked to bite like one, too. He did learn that it was estimated that around .01 percent of the population were alphas. Damn, lower than he ever thought.
Despite the lack of information on the nature of alphas, there were plenty of websites advertising various mating facilities. Even though they were common, the websites never seemed to have pictures of the alphas and only included brief descriptions of physical traits. If he was so curious, he would just have to find out for himself, then. So, he bought birth control pills just in case, and after taking them along with his heat suppressants for a few days, he was ready.
*
The moment he arrived at the grey unlabeled warehouse, he regretted choosing the cheapest nearby option. He figured as long as he got to see an alpha, which facility he picked wouldn't really matter. Cheap meant the owners might be desperate enough to sell to him, and that's what he was really after. Childe wanted an alpha all to himself, so he could do with it as he pleased in the privacy of his own home. He was a little nervous about inviting a feral creature into his life, but his heart raced in excitement at the prospect of taming something so wild.
However, this particular location was looking less like a place where he could buy an alpha for his untraditional fantasies and more like the place where his organs would soon be harvested for the black market. Seriously, the place didn't even have a single window. Still, Childe was driven onward by his curiosity. He parked his car outside the warehouse, diligently locked the doors with a suspicious glance at his trashy surroundings, and approached the metal door that led into the building.
As promised, the door was unlocked, and he slipped in quietly. The interior was not even a sliver nicer than the building's exterior. It was grey and plain. The only decoration was a notice that cameras and recording devices were forbidden. The man waiting for him at a desk near the door looked up tiredly.
"1:30 appointment, no preference which one?" The worker asked.
"That's me," Childe said with a charismatic smile. He'd need to lay it on thick to get this man to sell him such a valuable asset.
"Got the money?" This poor worker looked like he was about to drop dead from exhaustion on the spot.
"Of course," Childe pulled out a wad of cash.
"Great, come with me." The reply was dry.
The tired man led Childe through another door into a long hallway. They stopped at the first door on the right. The employee unlocked it with a heavy ring of keys.
"You know what you're doing? Alphas are dangerous, and the experience can be very intense. You could be knotted for up to an hour," The man explained in an incredibly uninformative attempt at informed consent.
"Yes, but..."
The employee dismissively pushed the door open at his affirmation. Childe trailed off when he peeked inside.
The alpha was heavily restrained to something resembling a hospital bed. Leather straps held its limbs and torso in place while its face was partially covered by a metal muzzle. It reminded Childe of how serial killers were treated in movies. The alpha looked a lot like a normal man except it was naked and between its legs was... God, how could it be that big? What the hell. Childe was glad he didn't intend to be penetrated because there was no conceivable way something like that would ever fit, right?
The man next to him chuckled, startling him out of his trance.
"Cold feet?" He smirked.
Childe looked back at the alpha restrained to the point it wouldn't be able to move. Its eyes sagged and its reaction to their presence was delayed, suggesting it was drugged. It wouldn't be very much fun or very difficult to bend the alpha to his will in this state. Childe was suddenly a lot less excited.
"No, not cold feet exactly. Would I be able to buy it?" Childe asked.
"Buy it?" The man echoed in disbelief.
"Yeah, I'll give you a million for this alpha. More than that if you want," He offered casually.
"What, are you some kinda poacher for a different facility? Or are you really stupid enough to think you can handle one as a pet?" The worker laughed in his face. "They're not for sale for any price. If you don't want a fuck from one, then get out."
Childe ultimately decided that the alpha wrapped up in restraints made him more sad than anything. Alphas might be more like dogs than people, but even dogs didn't deserve that kind of treatment. Not to mention the atmosphere of this place was terrible with its drab grey walls and buzzing fluorescent lights. He probably wouldn't even be able to get it up.
He ended up leaving without even laying a single finger on an alpha, but the sneering man, who looked as if Childe's ridiculous request had finally woken him up, sent him away with a cautionary printout. He probably should have been offered the information about alphas before he was deemed ready to enter a room with one, but better late than never.
*
The one positive of his unsuccessful visit to the cheap facility was that the papers he was given had more detailed information about alphas than anything he'd found online. Unfortunately, the information was not pleasant. It mainly highlighted the dangers of being bred by an alpha, which Childe could summarize after how many times he'd read each word on the paper to sate his obsession.
- There was the danger of being bruised, torn, or suffering internal injures from how large alpha's dicks are and how rough they are during the act.
- Knotting. Although a natural part of sex with an alpha, it's painful and distressing when you're not in heat. It's satisfying when you are in heat but can make you feel debased and helpless.
- Mating bites. This almost the worst thing an alpha can do to you. They have a venom in their bite that reacts with an omega's scent gland to claim that omega. It is permanent and will render heat suppressants and birth control drugs completely useless. Your unavoidable heats will become more intense. The alpha will become possessive and violent to the point it often needs to be euthanized. The actual biting process hurts very badly and causes a state of instinctual shock. The literature recommended avoiding this at all costs, even if you must put yourself in additional danger or force the alpha to bite into your hand or arm instead. Damaging an alpha's scent gland will cause the same instinctual shock, so it can be a good counter attack.
- If the alpha finds you unsuitable for mating it might just straight up maul you to death.
- You should never go near an alpha while in heat. The paper did not elaborate on this precaution, and it conflicted a bit with the information in point #2, didn’t it?
Admittedly, these details made him think twice about trying to buy an alpha. The one he'd seen had been tied down and drugged for a good reason. But a month passed and he still couldn't get over his new sexual obsession. He tried going out to clubs and picking up one night stands. He pretended the cute guys in his bed were alphas as he held them still and pounded into them. It wasn't what he wanted.
After that, he began to research again. This time he picked out one of the most expensive and upscale alpha facilities he could find. This particular company promised much more freedom. It let customers rent an alpha and either go through the mating process there, with an unrestrained alpha, or temporarily take the beast home. Given the negative things he had heard all his life and more recently read, this surprised Childe, but this facility guaranteed that its alphas were safe to be around, well-behaved, and had wonderful genetics to pass on to offspring. It seemed against industry standards to publish pictures of alphas online, but the website included rather in-depth descriptions of six. Childe booked a consultation with the company, his curiosity piqued once again.
After a two hour drive, Childe arrived at the building. Immediately the differences between this place and the other he'd visited were obvious. This facility had a clear sign, a modest building painted pastel pink, and much to Childe's relief, windows. It looked like a cutesy roadside inn, and he might have assumed as much had he not known better.
A cheery lady who was all smiles greeted him at the door.
"Welcome! You're here for a consultation? My name is Keqing, and I'll be your guide today."
"Yeah, you can call me Childe," He greeted her with his signature charming smile.
"Okay, right this way sir Childe!" The phrasing made him laugh to himself but he followed the woman, trying to stay relaxed.
"You're very handsome, I'm sure your kids are going to be beautiful," She said with a grin. She definitely said that to everyone. Keqing ushered him into a new room. It had glass walls that looked into six bedrooms like zoo exhibits. Childe took a moment to marvel at the alphas. All five of them perked up and looked at them when they entered the viewing area. As promised, they were unrestrained and the sedation that the website mentioned did not make them unaware. Some of them eagerly approached the glass. This place also didn't clothe the alphas, and Childe blushed at the view.
"As you can see, our facility is a little different from most others. An experience with one of our alphas can be very rewarding, but it's not for everyone. You have to be willing to give up your control for your own safety. Of course, our alphas are incredibly well-mannered, so as long as you follow the guidelines you'll be completely safe," The woman led him to a table in the middle of the room. It was stocked with informative pamphlets. Evidently those were common in the industry.
"You can read the details and guidelines now if you'd like or you can take a look around. If you have any questions for me just let me know!" Keqing continued.
"Why is one of the rooms empty?" Childe immediately asked.
"Oh, one of our alphas is on a house call right now, that's all. You'll have to come back another time if you want to meet him. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
So it really was true that they allowed customers to take the alphas home. Childe's breath caught in anticipation as he approached the glass to get a closer look at one of the alphas who had reacted immediately to their presence.
This alpha stood near the glass and watched Childe's every movement carefully. His muscular build and fiery red hair contrasted with milky skin and a delicate feminine face. He was beautiful. The way the alpha's red eyes fixed so hungrily on Childe thrilled him. He half expected the alpha to act like a hyper mutt in a shelter once he stopped on the other side of the glass, but the fiery redhead didn't move. Childe's eyes found his junk and he practically flinched. As a distraction from the most prominent detail, he noted the balls hanging between the alpha's legs. It was an odd difference in anatomy that he'd never been taught about. Male omegas had testicles inside of their bodies instead, so it was a rather strange sight.
"What can you tell me about this one?" Childe inquired, trying to keep his eyes up and away from the way-too-large tool the alpha was packing.
"We call that one Diluc. He's successfully sired over 2,000 children with our customers-"
"Two thousand?!" Childe interrupted in shock.
"Oh goodness, if you're worried about catching an infection please don't be, sir Childe! We require all of our customers be checked beforehand!" Keqing explained frantically, waving her hands back and forth.
"I was just surprised at how many..." Childe muttered.
"More standard facilities likely have alphas who have sired tens of thousands, but I can understand the surprise," His guide said with a kind smile.
Wow, that was probably not a great sign for the world. Accidental inbreeding must be common. He was suddenly glad that both his parents came from families who managed to conceive without the involvement of alphas.
Additionally, Childe wondered how many people had taken that alpha at the first facility he'd visited. An STD test hadn't been required there. Eugh, he was suddenly glad he decided against that place.
Childe placed his hand against the glass. He watched with fascination as the alpha on the other side looked down and then lifted his own hand and placed it on the divider across from Childe's. It was kind of endearing, like he wanted to hold hands. What an ironically innocent gesture.
"What is this one's temperament like?" Childe questioned. He had read the descriptions online, but his memory was not serving him well after he’d visited so many similar sites.
"Hmm, especially dominant even for an alpha, but protective. If you don't like it rough you should probably pick a different option. If you do, he'll show you a good time and make you feel appreciated," The little lady described very seriously. Childe wondered how long it took her to be able to give descriptions of sexual experiences with a straight face.
An especially dominant alpha sounded like fun for sure, just not for the reasons his guide expected. He wondered how this Diluc would react when challenged. He'd pretty much already made up his mind after seeing the first option, but no harm looking at what else they had to offer. When he withdrew his hand and headed to the next enclosure, he noticed Diluc looking a tad disappointed as he walked away.
The next room had a blonde… woman? Childe was a bit confused because he'd been under the impression that all alphas were male. Before he could ask, the employee began explaining.
"Our female alpha. She's called Jean. Female alphas are incredibly rare, so choosing her would get you a very unique experience. If you're feeling nervous about this process at all, Jean will guide you through it professionally."
Seriously, it reminded him of those silly pitches on novelty dildo websites. Don’t ask him how he knew about those.
The way that Jean watched him from the center of her room made him feel ashamed of himself, like they both knew he was up to something bad. He felt a blush rising to his cheeks again as he hurried to look in the next room instead. When he stopped to look inside, the purple haired woman behind him kept walking.
In this room, an older brunette man with beautiful long hair huddled in the corner. Oddly, this alpha was dressed in simple white clothes that made him look like a hospital patient. When he glanced up at Childe, the young man caught sight of striking golden eyes. His heart stuttered. Somehow, he knew at that moment that he wanted this alpha instead.
"What about this one?" Childe looked over his shoulder at the employee who was trying her best to subtly lure him away by standing in front of the next enclosure.
"I'm sorry sir Childe, please disregard that one. You won't be able to rent him," Keqing said rather sadly considering her enthusiastic personality.
"Why not?" Childe challenged, annoyed.
"Oh, well... Alphas are unpredictable creatures. Zhongli was our sweetest and gentlest specimen, but on a recent house call he suddenly attacked a customer's partner out of jealously. The victim has been hospitalized with terrible wounds, and our alpha will have to be euthanized or sold to a more restrictive facility..." She sounded devastated when she sighed, but then she caught herself. "Please, though, don't think you're in any danger, sir Childe! As long as you follow the guidelines you'll be safe, and I assure you we've paid a huge compensation to the victim over this... oh no..." Keqing hid her face from him, embarrassed by her mistakes.
What had Childe done to deserve such amazing luck from the universe? Maybe he shouldn't be so excited when the alpha had just mauled someone, but the danger only made him more intrigued. This place needed to get rid of the very specimen who had caught his eye. And he knew just how to approach the subject, too.
"So you need to sell this alpha? I'll buy it off of you," Childe offered smoothly.
"Oh, I... that would put your life at risk, and its illegal for citizens to own an alpha. I don't even have the authority to sell him, my boss-"
Childe interrupted her. "I don't care about the risks to me. I'll give you double what a different facility would pay for damaged goods. And I'll sign a contract taking full responsibility for my decision. If it hurts me, I’ll be the only one to blame.”
Keqing's eyes were so wide with shock that Childe was nervous she might faint and ruin his chances.
"Uh, wow, I... you'll have to talk to my boss about this inquiry, but really, you know that's super illegal right?!"
"Listen, I can tell you're a kind person. You care about it- him. You don't want anything bad to happen to him, right? I've seen what those shadier facilities are like and it's hellish. I'm sure you know. And I don't think such a beautiful creature deserves to die over one incident. I want my own alpha. I'll take him home with me and treat him way better than the other options." Childe said as if he'd rehearsed that manipulative little speech.
"I... I guess you're right..." Keqing said unsurely. "But I can't make a decision that puts our business in legal danger should you get caught."
"I wouldn't worry about that," Childe said with a wink as he quickly flashed her his Fatui badge before shoving it back in his pocket.
"Oh! Sir Childe, you're-!!" Her eyes got even wider. She was definitely going to faint now.
"In that case, I'll write up the contract and complete the paperwork as if I sold him off to a different facility... Are you prepared to take him home today? I can sedate him and get everything ready for you..."
*
After five hours of negotiations and preparation, a two hour drive with an unconscious and handcuffed alpha in the back seat, and fifteen awkward minutes of dragging his dead weight into the house, Childe finally had an alpha all to himself. At least his house was out in the country with no neighbors to watch him pull what looked to be a corpse out of his car at 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon.
He settled the unconscious alpha onto the bed in the guest bedroom. The handcuffs came off easily. He wanted to remove them because Keqing told him that Zhongli really didn't like them and usually ended up misbehaving only because he was restrained. In that case, Childe figured he would be safer if the alpha didn't wake up with them on.
Despite the exhausting day he'd had, he was practically vibrating with excitement. He wondered if sweet little Keqing still would have sold the precious creature to him if she knew why he wanted one. Childe looked forward to turning Zhongli into his submissive pet. He pictured the proud alpha as an obedient slut that would beg to take Childe's cock into his tight little hole. Pressing his legs together, he felt himself starting to produce slick from the arousal. Now wasn't the time for that, though. He still needed to figure out how he was going to manage the presence of a powerful and dangerous animal in his home.
With the alpha still sleeping soundly, Childe decided to go to his own bedroom and unpack the bag of items Keqing had given him. First, he set up his phone to stream the security footage from the guest room so that he could watch for when the alpha woke. Once that was done, he pulled out the thin book of guidelines for how to behave around alphas that Keqing had tossed on top of the other items. He read through them even though he had little intention of following them. They mostly recommended acting agreeable, cautious, and nonthreatening, but acting submissive and breedable for an alpha was the last thing he wanted.
Underneath that was a hastily scrawled note about Zhongli in particular. Keqing had included many details such as his favorite foods, the fact that he liked having his hair washed and scalp massaged, and the way that he especially liked to cuddle. The note also informed him that Zhongli could follow basic commands pretty well. Childe found the information a bit odd, but Keqing had described Zhongli as sweet and gentle. Maybe he hadn't ended up buying the feisty alpha he had been picturing, but no doubt this one's dominant instincts would kick in once Childe challenged him. The advice gave him an idea of how to reward his pet if Zhongli was good, at least. Stapled to the note were official documents from a breeder specifying a birth date that put Zhongli in his late thirties. From what Childe had learned, that was old for an alpha. No other facilities advertised specimens any older than thirty.
The next item in the bag was a mega-sized bottle of pills. Having that many doses of a sedative on hand was probably illegal, but Keqing had wanted to make sure he was prepared. The bottle recommended one pill daily with dinner to keep Zhongli calm. Childe already wondered what would happen if he stopped administering this medicine. Along with the pills, Keqing had also given him a vial of extremely potent sedative and a pack of syringes to administer it. It was the same stuff she used to knock Zhongli out for the trip, and she had told him it was for emergencies. Childe morbidly wondered if the whole bottle was enough to kill someone.
There was a lock for him to install on the guest bedroom door later, and the final item was a thick leather collar. When Keqing was preparing the items, Childe had assumed the collar was for Zhongli, but she corrected him. He was supposed to wear the collar when having sex with the alpha to protect him from mating bites. Or he could wear it all the time, if he felt safer that way. Childe didn't love the idea of the collar, but if it was for his protection then he would try it. Being unwillingly claimed by the alpha sounded worse than wearing a humiliating accessory.
Childe sighed and laid back on his bed, making himself comfortable against the fluffy pillows. He checked the security feed of the other room on his phone, but the alpha wasn't awake yet. Boring. Though he had things to do still, it had been a tiring day. A little nap wouldn't hurt.
Some time later, as he slowly returned to the waking world from a refreshing nap, he became aware of a pleasant earthy scent, like a flower garden after the rain. He was warm and comfortable and honestly just wanted to settle back into the embrace of sleep. Only, when he tried to shift his position to snuggle into his pillows more, there was a strange weight keeping him in place. He became conscious of someone pressed against his back, the arms wrapped around him, and then the steady puffs of breath against the scent gland on the right side of his neck. It was nice, but there was something really wrong about this...
His eyes snapped open and he did something very undignified. He screamed.
Childe thrashed his limbs violently and brought his hand up to his neck, protecting his scent gland while checking for any damage. His heart continued to pound in alarm even after he had confirmed he was unharmed. The reaction startled the alpha, and Childe watched him flinch away, sit up, and glance around the room for any threats. Apparently he didn't understand that he was what had scared Childe. After deeming their surroundings safe, those pretty golden eyes turned and stared into the omega's, wide with confusion.
He noted that the alpha was still wearing the simple white outfit, which suggested the other hadn't done anything else unsavory to him as he slept. He likes to cuddle, Childe's frantic thoughts supplied.
Zhongli slowly reached toward him again.
"No! You don't touch me without my permission, got it?" Childe snapped.
It was so weird speaking to something that was biologically human but otherwise wasn't. Would Zhongli even be able to understand his words? If nothing else, he knew what "no" or a scolding tone of voice meant, because he lowered his hand.
Childe stood up from the bed, still trying to recover from the fright Zhongli had given him. He felt humiliated and angry from the way he reacted. He'd accidentally put himself into way too vulnerable of a position.
Zhongli watched him patiently but attentively from the bed as he checked his phone. It was past dinner time. As if the emptiness of his stomach didn't already tell him that. He walked past the alpha to get the medicine from the bag of supplies and bristled in annoyance when Zhongli tried to touch him again. Childe shot a venomous glare at the beast and then left his bedroom to go to the kitchen.
"Come with me," Childe said, and grinned to himself when the alpha obeyed.
The house was big, practically too big for one person, with an open floor plan and all new furniture. An unlimited supply of money meant a bachelor pad that anyone would be envious of. The place was even spotless thanks to the maid he hired to come clean up every week.
"Sit," He pointed at a chair once they reached the kitchen, and Zhongli once again obeyed.
Once the alpha was seated, Childe placed two glasses of water and a pill from Keqing's bottle on the small table in front of him. Was he supposed to hide the pill in food or force it down his pet's throat or something? While he was pondering the best course of action, Zhongli grabbed the medicine and quickly downed it with a gulp of water.
Oh, wow. They really had trained him well.
"Well, uh, good boy," He praised with a reserved smile.
With that out of the way, Childe retrieved his own pills, one for blocking his heat cycle and one for birth control. He sat down at the table and took a sip of his own drink, but before he could bring the capsules up to his mouth, Zhongli suddenly, with worrying speed, seized his wrist to stop him. The grip was tight and commanding, and the alpha's intense glare clearly communicated that he was enraged that his new omega was taking such drugs. Childe reflexively swallowed his mouthful of water. He was shocked that Zhongli could know what these pills were for, but it certainly seemed that he did.
"No. Fuck off," Childe growled. He stood up, wrenched his wrist away from the beast's grip, and swallowed down his pills before Zhongli could interfere.
The alpha looked forlorn at Childe's behavior, but he perked up again once a plate of food was set in front of him. Well, that was an impressively easy fix. He sat across from his new pet and watched him eat. Zhongli ignored the silverware in favor of eating with his hands, which was kind of silly to watch. Childe figured he might have to train Zhongli to use a fork, although ideally he would worry about that after he'd already trained him in a less innocent way.
After dinner, Childe made quick work of installing the lock on the guest bedroom door with a power drill. The alpha looked a little freaked out but seemed hesitant to let the omega out of his sight. He watched from a cautious distance instead.
Once Childe finished putting the lock on the door, hopefully protecting himself from any further heinous cuddling, he entered the bedroom. Zhongli followed him, of course, looking a little relieved that the power drill's reign of terror had ended. Childe smiled to himself when he pointed at the bed and the alpha obediently sat back against the headboard. Now that he’d addressed each pressing matter, he could move on to something more fun.
"Stay there," Childe said. He left to retrieve the protective collar Keqing had given him, and returned to the guest room in a hurry, just in case the alpha didn't heed the command to stay.
When calculating golden eyes fell on the collar in Childe's hand, they flashed with understanding for a moment. Zhongli clenched his fists and practically shuddered in excitement, but still stayed where he was told to. The alpha's reaction amused Childe. Whatever the beast expected was certainly not what he was going to get.
Childe snapped the stiff leather collar around his own neck and swallowed uncomfortably at the odd pressure. It fit snugly, but it wasn't choking him. The presence on his sensitive neck was just very noticeable since he'd never worn something like this before. With a glance at the vanity mirror, he concluded that he made it look good.
Childe climbed onto the bed and Zhongli immediately attempted to pounce on him. Luckily he was on guard and managed to catch the other's wrists, then used all his strength to shove the alpha into a sitting position against the headboard again. The brunette appeared scandalized by this development. Childe laughed cruelly to try to cover the way his heart pounded with fear again. The alpha was strong, and if he hadn't been prepared then he could have easily ended up pinned. The fear only served to make him more eager.
As Childe removed the other's simple white clothes and then his own pants and underwear, Zhongli kept trying to grab at the omega's body and pull him closer, only for Childe to shut him down each time. He pushed Zhongli's bare back against the pillows, and the alpha winced as if he had been treated too roughly. Except that was impossible, Childe was only using as much strength as he had to. It shouldn't have been enough to hurt anyone, especially a strong beast, so he just scoffed and disregarded the flashes of discomfort on the brunette's face.
"You don't touch me without permission, remember?" Childe threatened as he wrestled him away yet again, and the alpha turned up his nose as if petulant.
Zhongli's eyes fixed on the redhead's half hard dick, though he was definitely more interested in the slit that lay behind it. God, Childe was wet there already. He was finally going to have an alpha for real instead of furiously jerking off or pounding harshly into another omega at the fantasy.
He was so horny for this that his stomach cramped with arousal once he allowed himself more than a glance at the huge cock between Zhongli's legs. Again, what the hell. That monster was hardening at the promise of attention despite Zhongli's blatant displeasure with how his advances were being rejected.
Childe wanted. He wanted so badly that he could hardly decide how to proceed as he carefully climbed over Zhongli's lap, not allowing their bodies to touch yet. If he wanted to make the alpha submit to him fully, it would be most fun to chip away at his instincts bit by bit. Childe decided that starting off with something familiar to his pet would be best. He wanted to at least let the alpha penetrate him this once. Of course he preferred that role himself, but he had a very rare opportunity to try taking an alpha's thick cock, and that in itself would be a kind of challenge, too, wouldn't it? Plus, giving Zhongli a false sense of normalcy at first would make it all the more entertaining when Childe decided to really turn the tables on him.
He planted his hands on the firm muscles of the man's chest and slowly pressed his own body against Zhongli's. He rutted his hardening cock against the other's, looking down and marveling at the size difference. After a few moments, he slightly shifted his weight to drag his wet entrance against the thick length, spreading his slick across it.
Zhongli's pretty eyes burned with lust. The contact must've been too much for his simpleminded self control, because once again his hands shot to Childe's hips and gripped them tightly. The redhead scoffed in annoyance when the alpha tried to flip their positions, no doubt to press the omega onto the bed and fuck him hard.
"Don't touch me, Zhongli," Childe gritted out, ceasing his motions as he steadied himself to resist being pinned down. Zhongli pulled his hands away, and Childe watched in amusement when his face scrunched up with frustration. Teasing him like this filled Childe with pride.
"Okay, listen up. Here's what's gonna happen. I'm going to take what I want from you, and you're going to stay perfectly still like a good boy. If you move, I'll stop until you can behave again," The omega explained. "Understand?"
The alpha didn't show any indication he did understand, but he didn't expect him to, either. He would just have to teach him through actions.
He dipped a hand between his own legs and glided his fingers through his slick folds. Childe pressed two fingers in easily, his arousal allowing him to add a third finger and stretch himself almost immediately. This position put his hand just inches away from Zhongli's erection, but he pointedly ignored it in favor of taking care of himself. His walls gripped at his three fingers so well that he let out a pleased hum. Childe reflected on how lucky the alpha was, and how generous he was being by letting the other feel such a perfect hole.
Zhongli responded to his noise with an impatient whine. The alpha's attention was fixated on what he was doing.
"Aww," Childe mocked.
He took his time fingering himself, minutes that seemed to drag out while the alpha laid there hard and probably aching for stimulation. Soon his hand was coated and dripping with slick. It was a pleasant surprise that Zhongli didn't try to touch him again throughout the process, and although he was thoroughly prepared by now, he was enjoying testing Zhongli's patience. He reached up to his own dick and stroked himself a few times, letting out a genuine moan at the feeling. The wetness he'd collected from his eager hole made the friction feel lovely. His pet squirmed beautifully underneath him. Finally, Childe reached down and brushed his slick fingers over Zhongli's erection, feigning shyness.
"You're so big," Childe breathed, putting on a nervous and innocent facade, "D-Do you think it will fit? Please be gentle with me..."
His own erection twitched in interest at how pathetic he sounded.
The alpha tore his eyes away from Childe's body to search his face, as if confused by the sudden change in demeanor. Aww, the brunette was gullible, that was fun.
Since Zhongli was behaving so far, Childe took the other's huge dick and leaned forward to line it up with his dripping entrance. He nudged the tip against his hole repeatedly, testing the thickness of it. Zhongli's hands found his lower back, but instead of being demanding, the touch was soft and comforting. Childe figured he had sort of asked for that, but he shot the other a glare that made him remove his hands anyway. At least his pet seemed to be learning.
After a few failed attempts to press the huge cock inside of himself, he finally found the ideal angle and forced his body down against it. The head of it popped into him, and he let out a genuine gasp at the sudden stretch. Once it breached him, it easily sunk in a few more inches before meeting resistance from his tight cunt.
"Oh, f-fuck..." Childe cursed at the feeling. It didn't exactly hurt, he was too wet for that, but he had never been penetrated by something so big. It was overwhelming. His muscles clamped down on it, making it feel even bigger.
Then Zhongli started to thrust his hips shallowly with a deep groan of pleasure. The movement worked his tight walls open more, and the alpha was nudging his most sensitive spot wonderfully, sending pleasure tingling through his body and straight to his dick. It felt good enough that Childe almost let him get away with it.
"No!" Childe strained out.
He pulled himself completely off of Zhongli's dick, denying them both. The alpha's gaze flicked up to him with disappointment.
"No," He reiterated, then shoved Zhongli's hips against the mattress to express his wishes physically. "No moving."
Zhongli sighed deeply. He seemed exasperated, but he remained in the position obediently. The redhead waited for a moment, forcing them both to calm down. And then Childe got impatient. He eased himself back down on the erection, supporting himself with two steady hands on Zhongli's chest. It was barely any easier the second time. He bounced tentatively, mimicking the previous shallow thrusts, getting himself used to being filled. Once he felt ready, he let himself drop until his ass met Zhongli's thighs.
"Hah-" Childe tried to muffle his moan. Like this, he could feel the tip of the alpha's cock touching the entrance to his womb. It was like they were made to fit together, which was close to the truth biologically, Childe thought feverishly. Just like he'd never felt something this thick, he'd also never felt something so deep inside of him. It made his stomach ache with what he hoped was pleasure.
He focused on Zhongli for a moment, how the alpha was whining lowly, his fists clenched tensely at his sides and his expression begging Childe to let him move. Childe began to ride him, bouncing up and down with intent this time. He watched Zhongli's features soften with pleasure, and he had to agree, it felt good. His walls fluttered around the alpha's dick periodically, proving that his body absolutely loved this. It was better than any other time he'd tried receiving. Overwhelmed tears started to prick at his eyes, making him angry at his weakness. He noticed he was salivating from the pleasure and quickly swallowed before it could drip down his lips.
"Whore!" Childe snapped at Zhongli harshly. The alpha looked up at him, startled.
"You know why you're here? Why I'm doing this to you?" Childe continued as he fucked himself hard. "Because you're so much of a fucking sex-obsessed whore that you couldn't stand sharing, isn't that right? You almost killed a poor innocent person, and if I didn't take pity on you, you'd be dead for that, you monster. I bet you want to hurt me, too, it's in your nature after all. I dare you to try it."
Childe slammed his hips against Zhongli's, scowling down at the alpha with disgust and overwhelmed tears dripping from his eyes. He felt so sensitive that he worried this had triggered his heat, but he knew that was impossible with the medication he was taking. It was just that good of a fuck. When the alpha didn't respond to his goading in any way, he grabbed one of the other’s hands and guided it to his dick.
"Touch me here," He said in a softer tone, "'m gonna cum..."
Zhongli clearly understood what was expected of him this time, because he began jacking Childe off to the pattern of his bouncing movements. His touch was skilled, and he expertly guided the omega closer to orgasm with strokes of his hand and swipes of his thumb. He added in little squeezes around the head and loose twisting motions, assaulting him with a variety of pleasurable sensations.
"Mmmnn-" Childe muffled himself again. How was Zhongli so good at that?
"Ohh- You really are a whore, aren't you?" He was tempted to call the alpha more dirty names but he couldn't manage. His legs shook with pleasure and his motions slowed. He was too close to focus on his task anymore. Zhongli took over for him, jerking his hips up roughly, and Childe knew he needed to pull away and punish the alpha for moving. But after two thrusts he was cumming hard, spilling over Zhongli's hand and stomach and letting out an unrestrained groan at how thoroughly the pleasure seized him. His walls clamped down so tightly that Zhongli couldn't even push into him again after pulling halfway out.
"Uhh-uuughh," Childe moaned.
And then, as soon as he began to come down from the high of his orgasm, he pulled away from Zhongli and scrambled to the foot of the bed. The alpha thrusted up into the air a few times and whimpered while Childe watched sadistically. Honestly, he had fully intended to leave Zhongli like this no matter what, since there was no way he was letting himself be knotted. But now that the alpha had misbehaved, he could play it off as a punishment.
"You moved your hips when you weren't supposed to. No more, I'm done with you," Childe sneered derisively even from his position in an orgasm-pliant heap at the foot of the bed.
Zhongli whined and gave Childe a desperate, pleading look. The alpha came closer to him, the desperation displayed in his expression warping into anger. The omega moved away, standing up on shaky legs. He was playing with fire, and he knew it. Alphas were mean and dangerous creatures, especially when their instincts toward omegas were denied. He knew that all along. Childe wondered if the alpha would attack him for this, overpower him and knot him against his will, and as Zhongli came even closer he caught a trace of his own scent turning sour with fear. It was ridiculous, he was not afraid, not when he knew he would dominate this alpha instead.
Unexpectedly, Zhongli made one last miserable noise and curled up at the foot of the bed. Childe noticed the other's nose wrinkling in displeasure at the smell of distress. The alpha made no moves to try to take him again. He didn't even attempt to attend to his arousal by himself. Zhongli accepted the denied orgasm and pathetically waited for his erection to go away.
"Hmm. You did so well," Childe said, thinking the brunette deserved a little praise.
Childe decided to remain in the room and watch his behavior for a while longer. Because he was curious, and because he wanted to taunt Zhongli with his presence. He sat across the bed from his pet, who didn't even attempt to beg for relief. Childe was both proud that his training was going so well and a little disappointed that he didn't get to have more fun tormenting him. After a while, the alpha's cock slowly wilted back to softness. Zhongli groaned and edged closer to where Childe sat on the bed, but instead of trying to hurt him or even touch him, he held out his arm to the omega. He stared expectedly at Childe while he presented the pale skin of his forearm, palm up and fingers closed into a loose fist.
"What? What's that supposed to mean?" Childe asked, completely at a loss.
Zhongli's gaze remained sharp and imploring. Childe decided to give him a little scratch on the head as a reward for his mostly good behavior. His first sexual encounter on his mission to dominate an alpha could have gone a lot worse, at least. He ran his fingers through the long, silky hair and golden eyes slipped shut appreciatively.
"You do like that, huh?" He laughed. "How about I give you a nice bath tomorrow? I bet you'd like that, too."
Zhongli opened his eyes and looked up at Childe as if that offer was too good to be true. He pulled his arm back against his own body, so apparently something Childe had done had satisfied him. That was good, because he was starting to get really tired. The orgasm had really taken it out of him.
"I'm going to sleep for now. The bathroom is right here," Childe stood and walked a few steps to the bathroom connected to the bedroom and slid open the door to demonstrate. "She told me you're house trained, so you'd better use it. And maybe clean the cum off yourself."
Childe grimaced and hoped the brunette would be able to understand those requests. After one last glance at his alpha, who still lay naked, partially hard, and miserable on top of the comforter, he left his guest bedroom and locked it tight. There would be no more surprise cuddling in this house.
