Vex'Leth Heat/Breeding Kink (Patreon)

Hello, my fine friends! I have a very exciting announcement in a few days regarding this space, but in the meantime, here is the (slightly late) Vex'leth you've all been waiting for! Be warned, it's a little bittersweet (hopefully in a good way). Please enjoy!

Vex woke with a whimper and a strong, lithe form atop hers. She gasped, tensing until she met Keyleth's luminous green eyes in the dark. Keyleth, her alpha. Her mate. She melted, reassured by Keyleth's familiar scent: the crisp outdoors overlaid with rich alpha desire.

"Hello there, lover." Vex wrapped her leg around Keyleth's hip, sliding the sole of her foot down Keyleth's calf. Her core pulsed as she felt the stiffness of Keyleth's cock against her belly.

Keyleth gave a low, rumbling growl. She settled her full weight onto Vex, blanketing her with welcome warmth.

Wait. Too much warmth.

Vex shivered as Keyleth nipped and sucked the crook of her throat. Sweat sprouted along her hairline and between the blades of her shoulders, sending a feverish chill along her overheated skin. She tried to lift her hand, intending to caress the back of Keyleth's neck and tug the soft wisps of hair there, but her arm felt weak and shaky. It was all she could do to keep her knee locked around Keyleth's hip as Keyleth rocked against her belly, smearing her skin with pearls of wet heat.

Oh. Well, shit.

Vex was well-acquainted with her cycle, but she'd never experienced her heat with Keyleth before. She trusted Keyleth with her life and her heart, but one could never be sure how an alpha would react to the scent of their omega in such desperate need—especially an inexperienced alpha like Keyleth.

"Easy," Vex murmured. "You'll have me."

Keyleth dug her teeth into Vex's throat. The bite overlapped with the scar on Vex's scent gland, sending a flash of liquid fire between her legs. She tightened her knee around Keyleth's hip, burying her nose in Keyleth's silky red hair. Keyleth smelled like spice, sweat, and sex: pure alpha desire.

"Mine?" Keyleth muttered against Vex's damp skin, a low, yearning question in the dark.

Somehow, Vex summoned enough coordination to comb her fingers through Keyleth's hair, gripping by the roots and pulling her into a deep, messy kiss. "Yes, darling. Yours."

Flowering vines sprouted from the bedposts, entangling Vex's wrists and pulling them overhead. The soft petals tickled her skin, an exquisite contrast to the sharp points of Keyleth’s teeth as they pierced the flesh of her shoulder. The edge of primal savagery made Vex’s blood sing hot.

Keyleth’s needy scent swelled, flooding Vex’s nose until she was drunk on the smell. It filled her lungs until she never wanted to breathe regular air again. She groaned, rocking her hips without thought, but Keyleth was already between her thighs, dragging them open with sharpened nails. The blunt crown of her cock dragged along Vex’s swollen cunt, coaxing out a rush of wetness that ran down both their thighs.

Vex dug her heel in beneath Keyleth’s backside, tilting her pelvis in offering. There was no other choice but to let Keyleth have her way. Not that she minded—

“Oh!” Vex’s hips jumped as Keyleth’s lips and tongue blazed a trail down her chest, sucking one of her stiff nipples. Then those delightfully sharp teeth bit down. The flash of pain, more controlled and measured than Vex expected, made her eyes roll back.

Her lashes fluttered shut when, instead of shoving straight in, Keyleth continued kissing down her stomach, pausing only to suck and nibble sensitive mouthfuls of flesh. Suddenly, Keyleth’s mouth was everywhere: a hot tongue sweeping across the sensitive skin beneath Vex's navel, swirling above her hipbone, then back to her breasts for more enthusiastic attention.

A wide grin spread across Vex's face. As much as she longed for the girth of Keyleth’s cock, for that wonderfully thick knot to stretch and split her open, her heightened senses relished Keyleth’s obvious hunger. Hunger for her. She was used to being desired for her body. Keyleth was hardly the first. But Keyleth had desired—and won—her heart. It made being wanted all the more precious.

Soon, Keyleth’s hunger led her between Vex’s legs. Vex cried out, curling her toes and resisting the impulse to clench her thighs around Keyleth’s head. “Tease,” she groaned as Keyleth’s tongue slithered inside her with unnatural, prehensile dexterity. It curled against her front wall, seeking the special, sensitive spot that Keyleth had learned so well, and squeezed.

Wrapped in the sweltering fog of her heat, Vex couldn’t help herself. She came fast and hard, fluttering around Keyleth’s relentless tongue. Her hips jumped off the bed, but Keyleth seized her thighs in sharpened claws, dragging her back down to the mattress. The vibrations of her possessive growl caused Vex’s clit to pulse as she flooded Keyleth’s cheeks and chin.

Keyleth didn’t stop. She didn’t even slow down. She raked her claws along Vex’s thighs, leaving tingling scratch marks, and buried her tongue deeper. Vex yelped, struggling against the vines as Keyleth’s mouth opened wider to suck her clit as well. The vines tightened, winding further down Vex’s forearms.

With one more thrust, Keyleth withdrew her tongue. Her hot breath unfurled against Vex’s slick, pulsing core.

Vex whined at the loss. She writhed against the vines, against Keyleth’s grip, seeking relief. Seeking more.

“Not finished,” Keyleth muttered, kissing around Vex’s clit. She applied the barest amount of pressure through the hood with her teeth, then shoved her tongue back inside.

Vaguely, Vex knew Keyleth’s skills had improved, but her mate’s usual self-consciousness was nowhere to be found. There were no pauses. No check-ins. No evaluations. As sweet as those were, it was a true delight to be on the receiving end of Keyleth’s unabashed, unrestrained hunger.

Vex threw her head back and groaned. “Keyleth!” Keyleth, Gods bless her, wasn’t only trying to please her. Keyleth was devouring her with a ferocity she'd never before experienced. She allowed her taut, trembling body to relax, more than happy to be ravished.

Then Keyleth withdrew.

“Gods help me,” Vex mumbled as Keyleth stalked back up her body, trapping her between both arms. She shivered, more than happy to be caged. Something animalistic within her craved her shy, considerate Keyleth’s unexpected display of possessiveness. Her skin burned and her limbs felt weak as a newborn foal’s. “Darling, please..."

Keyleth lined her cock up with Vex’s entrance, pushing in with a smooth glide of wetness.

Vex grunted, sweat dripping down her body as the heat-fever intensified. The stretch of Keyleth’s cock was a welcome relief, but her instincts demanded more. She needed Keyleth’s knot to lock her in place. Needed Keyleth to fill her. Breed her.

And why not? a selfish voice whispered in the back of Vex’s mind. Keyleth is as gentle as she is strong. A perfect mate. A perfect sire.

A strand of sadness tugged at Vex’s heart. She knew why not. They were, unfortunately, heroes. The trouble with heroes was, they rarely lived long. It was a godsdamned miracle they’d survived ‘til now, with all the foes they’d faced and bitter enemies they’d made: dragons, demons, and would-be gods alike.

Still, she couldn't help basking in the dream as Keyleth moved inside her, slowly at first, but with enough force to make Vex feel each thrust. She fluttered, clenching around Keyleth’s cock as she imagined it: her belly swollen with Keyleth’s pups, stirring with new life. All the best parts of the two of them…

Her thoughts splintered as Keyleth pumped in earnest, setting a hard, fast pace. Each spike of white-hot pleasure drove the breath from Vex’s lungs. She curled her fingers around the vines, dragging her nails down Keyleth's back as Keyleth’s sharp teeth raked above her left breast. The red-hot pain throbbed through her quivering body as pure pleasure.

In desperation, Vex locked her teeth into Keyleth’s shoulder. She held on for dear life, hips rolling frantically, as much as Keyleth’s steel grip on her hips allowed. By the Hells, she wanted this. She wanted Keyleth, scratching and snarling and surging over her like a storm, unleashing the full force of her fury.

Yet Vex had never felt so undeniably safe in the eye of that storm. Keyleth loved her. Keyleth would never hurt her. Keyleth would stop in an instant, heat or not. Vex knew this as well as she knew herself. She trusted Keyleth as much as she trusted herself.

On the next thrust, Vex came screaming Keyleth’s name: the only thought in her head, the only person in her heart, the only one that mattered. Her cry was muffled thanks to her bite-hold, but judging by how Keyleth tensed and shuddered, Vex knew her mate understood. She bore down on the delicious length of Keyleth’s cock, letting herself fall to pieces in the cage of Keyleth’s arms.

Keyleth paused just long enough to take Vex’s chin between her fingers, pulling her away from the bite and lifting her head. She took Vex’s lips in a hot kiss, thrusting her tongue forward. Vex bucked, pulsing harder as she tasted herself on Keyleth’s eager mouth. She always tasted better on Keyleth’s lips.

She submitted, allowing Keyleth to kiss her silly. Her hips jumped with aftershocks, her inner walls twitching around Keyleth’s shaft. It was hot and hard as iron within her, and Vex felt another wave of crippling need crash over her. She felt the pounding pressure within and smelled Keyleth’s want hanging in the air around them.

“Knot me,” she moaned, nipping Keyleth’s lip.

Keyleth bit back, tugging Vex’s lip far more sharply. She resumed rolling her hips, and within a few strokes, Vex felt the familiar swell of the knot rubbing against the swollen lips of her cunt. She threw her head back against the pillow with a happy sigh. The feverish chills had already begun subsiding at the mere promise of Keyleth’s seed.

The vines around Vex’s wrists withdrew, letting her arms fall away from the headboard. She wrapped them around Keyleth at once, raking her nails down the toned muscles that moved along Keyleth’s narrow back. She wound her legs around Keyleth’s hips as well, hanging on for everything she was worth. She tried to speak, but she was beyond words. All that came out was a weak, pleading whimper.

Keyleth started to growl, but swallowed the noise in her throat. “You okay?” she whispered, her hot breath tickling Vex’s ear.

The taut thread of need in Keyleth’s voice had Vex grinning until her cheeks hurt. Of course her gentle, considerate Keyleth would stop to check in, even during a heat—but it wasn’t worry shining in Keyleth's brilliant emerald eyes. It was pure desire. She wasn’t apologizing, nor falling over herself to please. She was merely making sure.

It took Vex several gulping breaths to find her voice. She moaned her answer into Keyleth’s sweat-damp throat, kissing the salty skin there. “I’m absolutely wonderful, darling. Now, don’t you dare stop.”

Keyleth tightened her hold on Vex’s hips and started to push. Her strokes started short and gentle, but Vex was more than ready. The power of her heat took hold, leaving her achingly wet and open and sensitive. She was made for this. Made for Keyleth. She couldn’t help whining each time Keyleth’s knot nudged the aching bud of her clit and tested the tight ring of her entrance.

Finally, Keyleth pushed forward without stopping. Vex’s eyes rolled back as the widest part of the knot popped inside, but as soon as she welcomed Keyleth in, the fever broke. Full. Claimed. Finally.

A blessed chill ran along Vex's skin, making her cleave even closer to Keyleth’s body. She sobbed her relief into Keyleth’s shoulder, sucking a purple bruise onto the crook of Keyleth’s neck, right where her pulse pounded hardest.

Keyleth’s teeth settled over Vex’s mark in turn. It only took a few knowing thrusts, a familiar rocking movement they’d learned and practiced together, before she came, flooding Vex with hot spurts of come.

Vex came a third time, a kaleidoscope of colors spinning before her eyes, milking Keyleth’s knot for every drop. Every part of her wanted every part of Keyleth. She wanted to take Keyleth deep within herself and keep her there forever; to share one flesh and heart. Her mark burned against Keyleth's mouth as her core throbbed with blissful release.

Eventually, Keyleth collapsed on top of her. Vex stayed latched to Keyleth’s throat, arms and legs wrapped tight around her mate’s shuddering form. Keyleth hadn’t stopped coming, and each throb of her knot made Vex gasp and cling tighter as her pleasure stretched on. One peak bled into the next, encouraged by Keyleth’s soft, crooning praise.

“Love you,” Keyleth mumbled, kissing Vex’s scar. A low, soothing purr started in the depths of her chest. “Beautiful. Mine.”

Vex flopped her head to one side, panting through a thick strand of hair that clung to her swollen lips. They still tasted of her, of Keyleth. She smirked as the low, comforting thrum of Keyleth’s purr vibrated through her chest. Instinctively, she began purring as well.

“Thank you, lover. I wasn’t expecting my heat to be so… fierce. I thought I might very well burn alive if you didn’t breed me fast enough.”

Keyleth’s contented purr took on a higher, whirring chirp, more surprise than concern. Vex recognized it in Keyleth’s scent. “Are you better now? I wasn’t too rough, was I?”

“No.” Vex unwound one arm from around Keyleth’s torso, running her fingers through Keyleth’s tangled red hair. “You were perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect. You were, you are, everything I’ve ever wanted.” She hesitated, a soft sigh escaping her chest. Almost everything.

Keyleth, ever the attentive mate, nuzzled her neck to offer reassurance. “I'm sorry,” she whispered. “It’s just—things are so—” She made a distressed little noise. “Right now. You know?”

Vex stroked Keyleth’s mussed hair, kissing beneath her ear. “I know.” She exhaled a long, slow breath, unnaturally loud in the silence that filled the sweltering, sex-heavy air of the room. “Maybe someday...”

Keyleth lifted her head, gazing down at Vex with such wide-eyed earnestness that the shadow of sadness was instantly banished from her heart. “Once all of—well, all of just fucking everything—is over, I promise I’ll give you a litter. I’ll give you as many as you want.” She sniffed, and Vex noticed the gleam of tears in her emerald eyes. “I want that, too. And it’s not fair that nobody else will take a turn saving the world for a change so we can—”

Vex silenced her with a soft brush of lips. “We’ll have our turn. We will. We’ve got plenty of incentive to survive, at least, because I intend on holding you to your promise.”

Keyleth rubbed the tip of her nose against Vex’s. They held there, breathing together, and Vex closed her eyes, determined to commit every detail of the moment to memory.

“Vex?”

“Hmm?”

“I love you.”

Vex kept her eyes closed as she coaxed Keyleth to lie down, guiding her mate’s head to rest upon her chest. She hoped Keyleth would find some comfort in her purr and the sound of her thumping heart, the same as she always did. When Keyleth was in her arms, nothing seemed insurmountable. The impossible seemed possible.

“I know. I love you, too.”
