Beau is an alpha but hides it, because it makes her feel dysphoric.
She manages to keep the M9 in the dark, sleeping around with people who won’t comment or are paid not to, and although by now she’d be fully comfortable with telling them, the fact that she hasn’t already makes it awkward, and so she still hasn’t.
Which is unfortunate, because she’s now locked in a boat with them and something sets her off, leaving her rock hard and barely able to function.
Unaware of the depth of Beau’s feelings, Jester offers her a hand, eager to be able to say she’s done it and possibly to relieve her own situation if she has one.

Jester can be a beta or omega - her heat could trigger Beau, possibly her first heat. Beau’s precise biology is up to you, as is Jester’s.

+ Jester tentatively topping because she knows Beau won’t initiate anything
++ knotting
++ overstimulation
++ jester using her tail inside Beau while Beau is in her
++ beau being as subby as her body will let her
+++ Beau being a little bit into receiving pain/overstimulation etc but unwilling to hurt Jester

- a single heat/rut ending up in an unbreakable life bond thing
- biting to draw blood
