Matias' POV:

I watch as my team of men set up a perimeter and carry cans of flammable liquid, drenching every inch of the house I grew up in. Now that Matteo is living with Emil and Sofia with Antonio, Everest and I will be the only ones living in the mansion. The only problem is that I absolutely hate this house and I want to build one of my own design.

For the time being, while the house is being rebuilt, Everest and I will be going back to America to pack up all of his and my stuff, and then I think I will take him on a trip. I don't know where, but all of my father's assets now belong to me, so I have plenty of money to spend. 

"Sir, it is well under control, but are you sure you do not want to do one last check for anything of value?" one of the many men on my team asks me. 

I shake my head, though it hurts me to do so. 

All of the photos I have with Cody are in there, as well as the box of items that reminds me of him. I brought some of them with me when I moved to America, but I got rid of them in a fit of anger and depression, but it is time for me to move on. I need to stop holding myself back or else I will never be who Everest deserves. 

"Alright, if you are sure," the man says, before calling to his men to burn the building. "And the building on the edge of the property?"

"Take anything of value and put it in a storage unit under my name," I say, as Anthony's family has been forced from the house, but I cannot blame his mate and children for Anthony's horrible actions. "Then burn the house down."

Everest is standing beside me, an orange glow on his face as the building goes up in flames. "I think we should have a really open set up," he says, looking at the burning house. "And spare rooms for your siblings when they come to visit. Maybe a smaller kitchen since neither of us really cooks... a big freezer for my ice cream..."

I smile at him, the scent of smoke burning my nose. "I think we can make all of that happen, angel."

"Oh, I have something for you," Everest says, taking my hand and dragging me across the property. "While you were working with your guys, I asked how far away we could sit so that it wouldn't smell too smokey but we could still see, and they told me over here."

Sure enough, we are still able to see the burning building, but it is not as smokey here and it is actually rather peaceful. The sky is dark so we are able to see the fire, but we are also a bit isolated from my men and Everest has set up a blanket, a bottle of apple cider since he does not like alcohol all that much, and a picnic basket. There is also a box beside him, but it's simple cardboard and does not have the same effect as the rest of his set up. 

We sit down, Everest immediately pulling out his little basket of snacks, which of course is primarily sweets. 

"Are these plastic champagne flutes?" I ask, picking up the vessel. 

Everest nods. "Obviously, I don't want to get glass all over me. It's dark!"

"Smart," I comment, leaning forward and pecking his lips, before it gets a bit more heated and I slip my tongue into his mouth. "What's that other box?"

Everest's blush stands out, even in the darkness around us, and he gently grabs the box, holding it on his lap. "When you were busy, I was escorted inside the house and went through your room... You were going to let all of your memories of Cody burn, so I took them. Even if you don't want them, I think they are important to keep. He did not reject you or fall out of love with you, and if he were still alive, you'd still be head over heels for him. A person... a memory like that... you should keep them."

My eyes are filled with tears as I look in the box and see photos of myself and Cody in frames, as well as some of his favorite things that we left behind when we had to suddenly move. "You don't mind that I have these things?"

"You loved him, Matias. How can I be upset that you want to have memories of someone who made you so happy? I wish you had more time with him. I'd give myself so you could have him back, but unfortunately I can't do that."

I gently put the box on the ground and push all of the food to the side before I pin Everest to the blanket and kiss him firmly on the lips, making him gasp and wrap his arms around my shoulders. 

"I miss him, but I love you," I whisper, kissing his lips once more. "I love you, Everest."

Everest is near tears, and he buries his face into my shoulder. "I gave up thinking that someone would love me," he murmurs, his voice almost breaking. "I love you, too."

We sit in silence for a few minutes, until Everest starts to move a bit, rubbing his ass against my cock and drawing a reaction from my body.

"I think I'm a little hungry... but not for the desserts," I say, pulling Everest's face away from my shoulder and seeing lust cloud his eyes. "What do you say, baby?"

Everest glances toward the house. "What about your guys?" he asks me. 

"They're busy keeping the fire under control," I say, palming myself through my pants and watching Everest lick his lips. "I missed you, baby, isn't that obvious?"

He looks toward the house once more before he slides down onto his stomach and mouths at my cock through my pants, making it twitch and me desperate to get out of these pants. However, my little brat of a mate makes a show of it, licking the bulge in my pants and slowly dragging down my zipper with his teeth, all while making eye contact with me.

"Do you like playing with fire, baby?" I ask teasingly, and Everest raises an eyebrow and looks over at the flaming building. 

"Not as much as you," he quips, pulling my cock out of my underwear. 

"Goddess, I want to shut you up with my cock," I growl, rubbing the tip of my cock against his lips and smearing precum over them. "Open your mouth, Omega."

Everest obeys, opening his mouth and licking the tip teasingly. "Don't go too deep," he tells me, which I already knew because he has never liked deepthroating since we started messing around. 

"I won't," I promise him, grabbing the sides of his head and pulling him down on my cock. "Tap my right thigh twice if you need me to pull out, okay?"

Everest moans around my cock, which makes me moan and pull him even deeper, just as far as he's willing to go. His eyes are a bit teary, but he continues to lick and suck at my cock as best as he can with me shoving my cock down his throat. I already feel close, as I have not had any kind of sex in a while and it is thrilling knowing that it's my mate that I'm intimate with. 

"Fuck, you're so good, baby," I groan as Everest pushes himself a bit deeper than he usually does. That has me at the edge and I end up pulling out and stroking my cock. "I'm going to mark your face."

Everest doesn't even have much of a chance to react as I cum all over his face. 

I reach forward and scoop my cum off of his face and shove my fingers in his mouth. 

His eyes shutter a bit and then he looks up at me, continuing to suck on my fingers with a lustful look. 

My cock never really softened, so I am already ready to go at it again. 

"Turn around," I order him, and Everest obeys. 

I pull down his pants and grab his ass cheeks in my hands, squeezing harshly before landing a slap to each one. 

Everest moans. "Do that again," he begs, his voice high pitched and needy. 

"You like when I slap your ass?" I tease him, rubbing the skin to soothe it before landing another slap to each cheek. 

"Obviously," he mumbles, whimpering when I slap his ass again and reach around to shove my fingers in his mouth. 

"Looks like I'll have to fuck that attitude out of you," I say, taking my fingers out of his mouth and pushing them into his hole, which is already leaking slick. "You're already wet for me?"

Everest whines, spreading his legs even further. "Sucking you off is a turn on," he mumbles. 

My cock twitches again, both from his wrecked voice and his delicious scent. 

I stick another finger into his asshole, making him groan and shove his face into the blanket. "Take off your shirt," I order, taking off my own as he shakily obeys. 

The glow from the fire is illuminating his body and I can see he is already sweating, probably from the anticipation and excitement of our current situation. The way his skin is illuminated is so beautiful that I definitely will have to install some kind of light in our new room to make him glow like he is now. 

Everest is beautiful no matter what, but seeing him in this lighting is breathtaking. 

"Can you please stop staring and fuck me?" Everest begs, looking back at me.

He looks desperate and wrecked, with his teary eyes and red cheeks, not to mention how sweaty he is appearing right now. My chest fills with pride knowing that I'm the one who made him this way, and I am the only one who will get to make him feel this good from now until we're old. 

I push the tip of my cock into his ass, but I don't move past holding the tip inside of him. 

He tries to push back on my cock and get more of it inside of him, but I slap his ass once more and grip his hips so he can't move. 

"Alpha," he whimpers, and from the way his pupils have dilated, I can see that his wolf is sharing his mind right now and both Everest and his wolf are very desperate to have me fucking his brains out. 

"What?" I ask, shallowly moving my hips but not enough for him to actually feel much of anything. "I think I'll just sit here like this all night and let you cock warm me."

He groans, more out of desperation than anything, but I am also picking up on some annoyance in his groan. Not that it doesn't make sense; poor thing has been sex deprived and hasn't even come once. 

"What was that, baby? You want me to sit here like this?" I ask, reaching around with my right hand and pitching his nipple. 

Everest whines. "Noooo," he almost howls. "I want you to fuck me!"

"Turn on your back, angel," I coo, pulling out of him briefly. "I want to see your face."

Everest does so, and I push my whole cock into him until my balls are resting against his ass before I kiss him, pushing my tongue into his mouth. My mate does not try to dominate the kiss, and it only makes me feel more like his Alpha, which I love. 

I kiss down his neck and lick the spot where I will mark him eventually. Not tonight, as I do not want to mark him until we are completely alone and preferably in a bed, not on a blanket while watching my childhood home burn to the ground. I kiss his collar bones, leaving little love bites and suck and bite his hard nipples.

Everest's back arches, and he locks his ankles around my lower back, silently begging me to start thrusting. 

I am slowly reaching the end of my patience, so I start moving slowly. It is definitely not enough to make either of us come, but I don't want this to go too fast. I am enjoying watching my mate whine and beg far too much to speed it up. 

"Alpha," Everest repeats, arching his back and reaching up towards me. 

I kiss him once again, still moving slowly. "How about I make you a deal?" I whisper, teasingly stroking his cock, rubbing my thumb across the slit and covering it in his precum. I push my thumb into his mouth, and Everest's mind is so cloudy that he doesn't comment on the fact that he is tasting himself.

"What is it?" he pants, and I can tell he would agree with just about anything right now. 

"I'll fuck you hard and knot you, but in return, you have to spend a week in my office and let me fuck you and cock warm me whenever I want," I say, since Everest was unsure about office sex or letting me cock warm him when I teased him about it earlier, but it is honestly something I have kind of fantasized about.

Of course, if he is truly uncomfortable, I would never force him to continue. I'm not that kind of person, and I love my mate far too much to make him partake in something if he really does not want to do it. 

"Fine! Anything!" Everest cries, his voice scratchy. 

"Good boy," I purr, placing my hands on either side of his waist as I start to brutally fuck into him, throwing my head back and moaning as his hole clenches around my cock. "So tight, Omega."

Everest whimpers, grabbing my forearms just so he can touch me as I slam against his prostate with every thrust. He is completely gone at his point, his eyes rolled back as he moans in pure pleasure and ecstasy. 

I feel the base of my cock start to swell, and I know I am close to the edge, what with all of the foreplay and teasing I did. Even though it was mainly to tease Everest, it had an impact on me and I am so ready to fill up my Omega. 

"I'm close," Everest pants eventually, interrupting his own moaning to let me know. "Can I come, Alpha?"

Him asking me and giving me the control makes my cock twitch inside of him and pushes me even closer to the edge. 

I grip the base of his cock. "You can come when I do," I whisper, making him sigh, frowning up at me. "I'm close, baby, don't worry."

True to my word, I feel the fire in my groin build up and a few minutes later, Everest's clenching and whimpering sends me over the edge and I shove my knot into his hole. At the same time, I stop holding the base of his cock and start stroking him instead. 

"Come for me, Omega," I order and Everest howls louder than he has all night, long spurts of cum flying all over his stomach as I finish filling him up with my own seed. 

Both of us are panting, and I use the napkins from the dessert basket to wipe his stomach off before I grab the little container of tiramisu and open it up. I get Everest to lay on his side so I'm spooning him and run my finger through the cream, letting him lick it off. 

"I love tiramisu," Everest mumbles, laying his head down on the blanket. "One of the best things about Italy."

We cuddle together, sharing bites of tiramisu and waiting for my knot to go down, all the while watching my childhood house burn.
