33. Piper
CHAPTER 33
Piper
I woke up with the taste of the forest under my tongue, the smell of stone and wood and my Omega nest, and the feel of Rook, Erain, and Teddy on my skin.
My hands hovered over my suppressants.
Their effectiveness was already hanging on for dear life, but if I took them I could resist the scents of my Alphas for another day. I’d be warm, run a low temp, perhaps even get hot as fuck, but I wouldn’t go into heat.
However, I pushed the suppressants away.
I couldn’t deny it any longer.
Time to face the facts.
I’d forgiven my Alphas.
Shit, no one was more shocked than me, but they’d crawled their way right into my heart despite their disgusting behavior.
I was meant to meet them for after-breakfast coffee, so I ate a reflective bowl of cereal and by the time I was done, prickly heat had begun to break out all over my chest, back, and hips.
Oh, hell, that didn’t take long.
I had half a mind to find Otis and beg him for a triple dose, but now I just wanted relief.
Every part of my body was heating up, including the swollen, aching place between my legs that was now begging for relief from my heat.
I walked over to the Palace with sweat pouring down my back, and the closer I got, the stronger their scents got, until they were all swirling together in my nostrils, my throat burning with need for Alpha knots.
My Pack wasn’t at the breakfast nook where we usually ate, but I had no trouble tracing their scents down the hallways until I stopped outside what looked like a First Aid station.
I didn’t know what they could be doing in there, but my heat had burst upon me with such urgent necessity that I didn’t care. Otis was right—the suppressants only delayed my heat, because once it finally came, I was feeling positively feral to be knotted.
However, luckily for me there were three Alphas I knew who would be happy to oblige.
I opened the door without preamble but, unlike my wedding night, I found something very different but equally as shocking.
Rook, Erain, and Teddy were lying on the floor trussed up like chickens, painful ropes of pure silver criss-crossed over their bodies and cutting painfully into their flesh.
My heart stuttered wildly in my chest.
Silver was the only thing that could control them if they went feral.
“Stop lying about, you lazy bums,” I said sharply to cover up the catch in my throat at the sight of them.
Rook’s eyes were closed in concentration, while Erain’s ropes were tied so tight I could see the scour marks on his face. Teddy lay between them, a tendon throbbing uncontrollably in his arm at the way the silver would send shocks of pain through his body. He was muttered to himself and twitching.
Well, fucking hell.
They were going to kill themselves trying to keep me safe.
But I didn’t want to be safe. I wanted a knot. I wanted all their knots. And I was going to get them.
And here I was without scissors or anything.
I moved to Erain, my fingers trying to pull the ropes loose at least.
His eyes popped open.
“Piper!” he choked out, tears at the corners of his eyes. “Be—careful, Piper. I don’t want to—go feral and hurt you.”
Rook and Teddy made muffled protests too, their eyes wide and alarmed.
I saw shifter features move rapidly across their bodies—a sheen of silver, a glimpse of wolfish jaws, a flash of predator yellow in their eyes.
But I wasn’t the slightest bit nervous.
“You’re not going to go feral,” I said crossly, tugging at the ropes across Erain’s chest and then trying to gnaw on them with my teeth, moving to Teddy’s chest to pull at the knots there.
I suddenly remembered a nail file in my cross-body bag and I leaped for it, sawing at Rook’s ropes, then Teddy’s, then Erain’s, my fingers working in a frenzy.
As soon as I got the ropes around Rook’s mouth loosened he gasped out, “So you forgive us?”
The desperate wild tone in my First Alpha’s voice made heat bloom between my legs, the way the muscles in his throat contracted.
Slick began to pump from my body, soaking my panties and dripping down my thighs.
“Yes, I do,” I said. “I guess I love you damn Alphas.”
Rook threw his head back and howled, a release of pure triumph and then he began to tear the rest of the ropes from his body.
“Be careful!” I yelped, but it was no use.
Once I had loosened the knots, they tore through the ropes with Alpha strength, and I sucked in my breath as I heard the sizzle of the silver burn through their flesh.
But it was like they didn’t even care about the pain.
I gasped at their raw Alpha power, the way their muscles moved and glistened with sweat, the lines of the silver at first deep, painful scarlet, then rapidly healing.
“You forgive me?” Erain gasped as soon as he had torn off the ropes from across his mouth.
His arms were around me, holding me tight, and I felt his heart pounding.
“I forgive you,” I said, my heart in my throat as I felt his heartbeat in my own chest cavity.
He bent and kissed me, tasting like winter snow and bright-white heat, one hand on my waist, drawing me closer to him so I could feel the harsh press of his cock on my belly.
“Knot me,” I ordered. “I’m fucking boiling here.”
In one second he had yanked at the strings of his athletic pants, but Rook knocked his hand away.
“We are going to do this in order,” he barked. “To make sure it’s the best for Piper. This is a second chance she’s giving us and we aren’t going to screw it up.”
With one hand, he drew me into a side room and kicked the door shut behind us.
With relief, I noticed that there were also heat facilities here, so there would be a bed just barely big enough for all of us to fit on.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Erain said over and over again as he captured my mouth with his. “I was an idiot, I was a moron. I don’t deserve you, Piper.”
“All right,” I said, my heart starting to pound at the bruising, passionate force of his kiss. “I’m over the topic of you cheating. It’s not of general interest. Don’t be boring me with this anymore,” I added, softening my words by running my hand down his taut chest and belly until I hovered my hands over his engorged cock.
He groaned loudly. “Oh, baby, that feels like nothing on earth. Touch me. . . please. However you want to.”
But Rook was gently lying me down on the bed.
“Let’s get a knot in you, baby girl. You’ll feel better once we do. It’ll help the fever.”
I put a burning hand on his cheek. Every inch of my skin seemed to be on fire, I must be at least one hundred and twenty degrees.
“Always so careful,” I teased.
“Nothing is too good for our Omega,” he said seriously, his strong rough fingers pulling at his tie.
Teddy was kissing my ankle, his panting and moans heard even above my other Alphas.
“I can smell your slick, Piper,” he groaned, reaching his hand up to touch the liquid arousal that was rolling down my legs as Rook gently pulled my soaked panties down my thighs.
“What a pervert,” I said severely, and I saw his dimple pop out as he shoved at Rook and settled between my legs, nestling up to my thighs.
“I’m obsessed, baby. Let me be the first to knot you.”
“I am first,” Rook growled in his First Alpha voice. “And besides, dickhead, we have to prep her first. We don’t want our Omega having any discomfort in taking our knots.”
Erain was worshipfully nibbling my toes as Teddy captured my mouth with his, tongue eagerly tangling with mine.
“Do you want this? Are you sure you want this?”
Heat began to pound off me at each word they uttered, now that I had gotten off my suppressants I felt the full weight of my own Alpha’s low, rumbling tone, making sweat pour down my back as my delayed heat rushed over me with overpowering need.
“Yes,” I said, breaking off to tangle one hand in his hair, my other hand on Rook’s shoulder where he carefully pulled my wet panties off and dropped them on the ground. Erain’s low groans as he licked the bridge of my foot were distinctly audible in the room.
“Because you’re in wild, uncontrollable heat and you need your Alphas and their knots?” Teddy teased, his breath a pant in my ear, his cock jabbing me in the side.
“Because you have demonstrated to my satisfaction that you love me as a person and not just an Omega pussy to knot,” I said sternly, or as sternly as I could until my breath caught on a hitch as Rook spread me wide.
“Oh, we love you as a person all right,” Erain put in, his fingers gently stroking my ankles, my calves. “Your brain, Piper, is the most diabolical and devilishly clever brain that has ever existed anywhere in the world. And you’re the most interesting person in the world. I could listen to what comes out of this brain for hours.”
“I love you as a person too,” Teddy put in eagerly, his tongue swirling in my mouth, sucking my tongue and making me shiver uncontrollably.
“All right,” Rook interrupted, his big hands palming my thighs, gently encouraging my legs and hips to open wider to accommodate their cocks and knots. “It is a given that we all love Piper’s mind. If it is all right with you, our Omega, we would like to devote ourselves to your body, right now?”
His voice is dry and cold, and someone who didn’t know him as well might be offended at the fact that he wasn’t as gushing as the others. But I knew my Head Alpha very well, and I knew that gleam in his eye, could tell the way his chest heaved up and down, the tone change in his voice.
My First Alpha loved me and I loved him.
“I love you all,” I said, my nipples starting to peak so painfully that even my soft T-shirt on them was painful. “Now let’s get to knotting.”
They laughed then, and I felt the soft hum of Alpha breathing radiating through me.
My pussy was pumping out slick so fast and hard after being denied so long that Rook’s hand was absolutely soaked.
“Now it may take a few minutes to prepare you for our knots,” Rook said warningly, but he barely had to touch my swollen and engorged clit before I was coming, messy and hard, all over his hand.
“Oh my god, Piper,” Teddy said in awe. “That was so fucking hot.”
“My turn,” Erain insisted, crawling up beside Rook and trying to elbow him out of his way.
“She’s going to need multiple of those before she’s ready,” Rook warned, but he scooted aside reluctantly, moving to my side to stroke my arm and caress my breasts.
“Well, let me give her some,” Erain grumbled, and he lowered his head to my clit, gasping dramatically as his lips hit my most sensitive regions.
“Your heat tastes amazing, Piper. The absolute finest, best, classiest as fuck scent and taste in the world. Can I put a finger in you? Just to help you prep?”
“I’ve had sex before,” I said, just to tease him. “With many very well-endowed Betas.”
“Sweetheart, that’s nothing like an Alpha’s knot,” Erain growled sexily, and then he lowered his head again and began to devour me, his groans getting louder as the heat spiraled inside me and I came again, hitting my peak with a gasp, my hips jerking forward as I smashed my pussy all over his face.
Erain barely got a chance to lick me through it when Teddy was shoving him over, and his lips replaced Erain’s on my soaked pussy.
“I want to give her one more,” Erain protested.
“Wait your turn,” Teddy growled.
“I need your knots now,” I gasped. “I can take them.”
“Not yet, sweetheart,” Rook said. “At least one more orgasm first.”
I groaned.
“But I’m so hot,” I complained. “I’m burning up.”
“Almost there, baby,” Rook said. “Our knots are big.”
Teddy licked a long line up my thigh, greedily guzzling all the slick running down my legs before swirling his tongue around my pussy and flicking it cleverly inside me.
I heard a loud popping noise and turned to see Erain sucking my slick off each finger, his eyes closed in bliss.
“Fucking gorgeous,” he breathed.
I felt desire rise in my body, painfully needy and uncontrollable.
Rook carefully peeled my sticky shirt from my body, his big hands under my soaked back to unclasp my bra and draw it from my body.
Then he gently traced the shape of each breast.
“Made just for me,” he rumbled against my lips. “Always.”
Teddy gently pressed one, then two, fingers into me and I exploded again, keening as the slick pumped out of me.
But still I was hungry.
I needed more.
Rook was already moving Teddy out of the way to settle between my legs.
“Ready?” he asked, his hands on the strings of his sweatpants. “There’s no going back after this. Once we bite you, we’re bound together forever.”
“I want that,” I said, as Erain and Teddy bent to kiss me.
Rook took his cock from his pants and I had to stifle a shriek.
I mean, yes, I had seen their uncontrollable bulges many times, but this was for sure bigger than I had expected, a massive throbbing cock and the knot hadn’t even inflated yet.
But my pussy was pumping out slick and I could feel my hips curving toward his.
“I can’t wait for my turn,” Erain moaned, stroking my throat, gathering my hair up in his hand.
“Oh, Piper, you look so beautiful,” grunted Teddy.
I could see a big wet patch on the front of his sweatpants where his precum was leaking, and I reached out to pull his cock from his pants and stroke my hands down the velvet hard length.
Rook entered me slowly, carefully, the veins in his throat standing out, his jaw hard and firm.
I tipped my hips up, eager to get relief from my spiking temperature, spreading my thighs as wide as they could go, but he still had to rub my clit, encourage my channel to pump out even more slick so he could fit in.
But it felt so goddamn good, his size pressing up against my sensitive walls, my pussy feeling greedy and eager for him.
“Beautiful,” Erain breathed as I reached for his cock, drawing it from his pants as he whimpered.
I began to stroke them both as Rook moved slowly inside me.
“Tell me at any time if it’s uncomfortable and I’ll slow down,” Rook was telling me earnestly, but as I felt his knot begin to inflate inside me to hook us together I knew it was exactly what I needed.
“You’re doing so well,” he praised me. “You’ll take my knot beautifully.”
“ Your performance has been adequate,” I retorted, so he knew who was fucking boss. He might be my Head Alpha, but I’m running this show.
But Rook only laughed delightedly and bent down to gently draw my nipple in his mouth, making my back arch with the sensations.
My god, I couldn’t make him dislike me no matter what I snarked at him, so what was the point? I might as well enjoy the lifelong love and devotion.
The hum of their adoration surrounded me as I rose quickly to another peak, Rook’s knot stretched perfectly, hitting all the Omega needs inside me.
My hands stroked Teddy and Erain’s cocks in unison, their moans loud in the room.
“The best thing I’ve ever felt,” Teddy choked out.
I came on a groan, Rook’s knot filling me with pleasure, and I aimed both cocks toward my mouth and slid my hands along Teddy and Erain’s heavy slick lengths.
When I opened my mouth wide, Teddy and Erain both came, and it was the most delicious sensation to feel their cum explode together in my mouth, covering my tongue as Rook pulsed inside me.
I thought Erain would levitate from the ground, his ice-blue eyes practically melting as he watched me swallow his savory cum down and lick what missed my mouth.
Then it was his turn to knot me.
It was such sweet, bonedeep satisfaction to see my Alpha’s eyes roll back and his strong fists clench in the sheets at the pleasure of knotting me.
He was moaning before he entered me and I hissed to feel his cock at my entrance.
“I will try not to come too fast,” he said, hands reaching down to cage me, that perfect golden body sleek like a panther over me.
But I only rotated my hips up sharply the moment he began to enter me, and he immediately lost control and began to rut in me, gripping my hair and shoulders tightly.
“Fuck, I love you so much goddamn it, baby, shit, holy fuck,” and I was already falling over the cliff, my body shuddering with pleasure as I felt Erain’s hot release inside me, his cum mixing decadently with my slick in a delicious mess on my thighs.
“When can I bite you?” he begged, either to me or to Rook, in my orgasm haze I didn’t know who, but we were a sticky pile of bodies and limbs as he waited for his knot to deflate, but by the way his arms surrounded me, the way his face was pressed against my overheated chest, I knew he didn’t want to leave.
I wiggled my hips experimentally, loving the full sensation of his knot, the fact that I couldn’t get away even if I tried.
“When we’ve all knotted her,” Rook said.
“Hurry up,” Teddy insisted, panting, his dimples not in evidence now as he frowned at Erain.
“No,” Erain said, clutching me tighter. I could feel his heart pounding through my chest, vibrating through my whole body.
I felt so connected to him, to all of them, and they hadn’t even bitten me yet.
Sweat and heat were still running down my chest as Teddy settled himself between my legs. My pussy felt deliciously filled but it wasn’t quite perfect yet.
I was going to need Teddy before this raging heat and need was even remotely satisfied.
As he settled between my legs, I could feel the lovely warmth of Rook and Erain’s cum inside me, just waiting for Teddy’s to stuff me so full I’m leaking out the sides.
My thighs ached from spreading them so wide, but I tried to butterfly them still further into the ground at the sight of Teddy’s girth.
But then Rook and Erain were there, Erain gently pulling me into his lap and Rook bending over so his tongue hit my clit.
“Fuck yes, that feels amazing,” I gasped, as my Head Alpha gently spread my pussy lips open so he could swirl his tongue around my overstimulated clit.
When I came on a gasp, Teddy pressed his cock in, making me scream with the overfull sensations.
I threw my head back in bliss, and hit Erain’s solid abs as he whispered encouragement in my ear.
“Perfect girl.”
Teddy sheathed himself fully and I let myself fall again, hurtle headlong over another cliff as my stomach tensed in delicious anticipation.
I finally felt sticky but cool, the fever broken until it would rage again in a couple of hours and I’d need all my Alpha’s knots again.
“Bite me,” I said.
“Are you sure?” Rook asked. “It’s permanent, you know. The four of us bonded together, forever.”
But my heart was full of a strange fucking love that bloomed through every limb.
“Yes,” I said. “Please. I’m ready.”
“I’ll lick it better,” Erain promised. “It’ll only be a tiny sharp pain, I promise. Then only pleasure.”
Rook made the first bite, his lengthened incisors sinking into that soft, sensitive part of my throat.
But it’s unbelievably erotic, that immediate electric feeling as the mate bond slipped into place.
And I could feel Rook’s emotions pulse through me, the devotion, the deep gut-power of his commitment to forever, and I know I made the right choice.
Erain bit me on the other side, his hands possessively wrapped around my waist as he cradled me between them.
His emotions are silver bliss, the throb of his passionate need for me shot through and wrapped tight around with a deep regret for his behavior that bites at him.
Now that we are bonded, I try to send him a soothing emotion.
Forgiveness
Love
Teddy pulled up my long sticky hair, gently twisting it around his hand as he sunk his incisors into the back of my neck.
I moaned wantonly as the mate bond raced through me, Teddy’s bright eager desire, like sunshine and sparkling wine all through my limbs, and I could feel their heartbeats under my own skin as they surrounded me.
It was a moment of pain and then I began to feel my body heat up as each Alpha licked the spot where he had bitten.
“Yes, sweetheart,” Rook groaned. “You did that so well. You’re doing so perfect.”
And it was only a second after I realized my pussy was heating up uncontrollably again before his fingers were there, pressing inside me and stroking my sensitive inner walls.
“More,” I whimpered, and Erain added a finger on my clit as Teddy took both my tight peaked nipples in his big hands.
“Happy first day of your happy ever after,” Rook whispered in my ear, and I murmured back to them, “I love you, Rook. I love you, Erain, I love you, Teddy. I love our Pack.”
Then my eyes drifted closed as my orgasm hit, and I fell back into the arms of my Alphas for a well-deserved nap.
