Eli & Rory: A Steamy MM Omegaverse Forced Proximity Romance Novella
A tattoo artist alpha with an unreadable poker face. An omega who finds pleasure in pain. A storm that's about to change everything.
Eli
I'm not your typical I’m a carpenter used to hard work, heavy lifting, and the kind of rugged life that doesn’t usually belong to my kind. I’ve spent years trying to outrun the label I was born with, burying my instincts under scent-blockers and a gym-honed exterior.
Rory Kubo is the best tattoo artist in the city, and for the last four years, he's been decorating my body with his art. He's also the only person who sees the real me—the omega who finds pleasure in the pain he provides.
But when a summer storm triggers a shelter-in-place alert at the same time a particularly intense tattoo session triggers my heat, my carefully constructed walls come crashing down. My blockers fail, and I’m trapped in a basement with the one alpha who knows exactly how to make me come undone.
Rory
As the owner of Iron & Ink, my reputation is built on control. I don’t cross lines with clients, and I don't let my alpha instincts run the show. But Eli Webb has always been different. I’ve spent years admiring his strength and memorizing the scent of sawdust on his skin, all while keeping my hands strictly on my tools.
When the shelter-in-place alert hits, my studio becomes a pressure cooker. The air is thick with the familiar scent of cloves and cedar, and the man I’ve spent years respecting is unraveling right in front of me. I tell myself I can stay professional. I tell myself I won't let instinct get the better of me.
I'm wrong. The storm is raging outside, but the real danger is in here—and when my rut hits at the same time as his heat, there's no more pretending I don't want to leave my mark on him in more ways than ink.
Eli & Rory is a steamy, forced proximity MM omegaverse novella featuring an omega with masochistic tendencies, an intense, inked up alpha, and a surprise heat/rut that forces them to accept that there's no more 'keeping things professional'. This is the third standalone installment in the Sudden Heats series, where biological emergencies lead to permanent bonds and friendships turn into forever. This series does NOT feature mpreg and is non-shifter omegaverse.

Eli and Rory were perfect together. I loved that they got stuck. Both already had an amazing relationship as friends. And Rory knowing about Eli showed a true friendship. Their attraction was undeniable. I loved that these two connected intimately. And OMG was it hot. This was spicy and sweet and these two the absolute best.

I loved this relationship. I thought they were adorable together. This was a very sweet and spicy read! I definitely recommend if you are looking for something quick but still seems like the characters have a connection.
