CHAPTER NINETEEN
SYDNEY
It hurt. Everything hurt so damn bad. Every cell in my body, every tiny movement, even breathing felt like lava consuming me, and I could do nothing to stop the pain except ride the waves through it as it came at me with its highs and lows.
But as much as I hurt, the pain had my lower stomach knotting up as my nerves danced right on the cusp of pleasure. I didn't think I could go over it, not with the fire sparking in my blood stream, but a little touch from Alfie, and my body was gone. It felt like magic dancing in my system, the pleasure of his fingers driving me insane, making me squirm as my thighs quivered. But then, Luka entered our home, and his scent, that strong cloud of his pheromones hit my senses, and I was gone.
My body writhed and screamed with pleasure. My vision blurred, and all I could do was cling to Alfie's arms, my nails biting into his skin as I rode out the pleasure. I must have blacked out and not even realized because when I opened my eyes, my alpha stood in front of me, his eyes burning so deeply I felt their heat as he clung to the doorframe so hard the wood splintered under his touch.
"Omega," he breathed, like finally seeing me had brought him peace.
My body cramped again and I curled into myself. "Help me."
"How long has she been like this?" Felix asked from behind Luka. Sweat beaded his forehead.
Alfie's chest rumbled. "Not long. We knew her heat was near."
Heat.
I couldn't believe it.
Didn't want to.
Not when I had gone so much of my life without my cycle. Yet the way my body felt, the way I reacted to these men and their very scent, I knew it had to be true. I'd gone into heat, and Luka hadn't even forced me.
In front of me, Luka fell to his knees in front of me, pulling me off Alfie's lap and into his arms, where he buried his face in my neck and inhaled. "Omega. I wanted this to go differently, but we're out of time."
Without even realizing it, my body began to rub against his, feeling pleasure just from his touch. I gasped at the contact, a purr escaping me when his body moved in rhythm with my own.
"Say you're mine, omega," he growled, and I felt every note of the growl in every cell and organ in my body.
"I'm yours," I whimpered, crying as my body already began to build with pain again, seeking a release I wasn't sure how to give.
A roar rumbled through the room, and Luka laid me down on the pallet, his hand working on his buckle as he ground against me desperately. I'd never seen him this crazed, with his eyes dilated to nearly black. If my whole body wasn't an inferno, I might revel in his desperation, in his need, in his lust only for me. But for now, all I thought about was release. A sweet, sweet, release that would relieve me of this insatiable need that screamed inside my womb.
"Omega. I've never smelled anything in my life as delicious as you. Have I told you that?" He ran the stubble of his jaw over my cheek. "We should have prepared you better omega, and that is on us. We knew. We knew for days this was coming, but we didn't want to scare you."
Scare me? I'm fucking terrified now. Not my omega though. No, that hussy was purring away, throwing as much scent as she could at the alpha, begging him to take her. As much as I told her to calm down, she'd get her way, she didn't seem to care. She was in a frenzy, a crazy state of lust and need that only our alpha could satisfy.
A low moan left my lips as his hand gripped my bare thigh, spreading my legs wide around his hips as I rocked against his denim clad groin. His chest rumbled his approval, his alpha no doubt pleased that his omega so openly wanted him. My fingers went to the waist of his pants, and despite the fact I hadn't done this before, had no clue what I was doing, my omega seemed to understand enough for us both.
My hand snaked down his waist, my fingers wrapping around his hard length as my eyes bulged in shock. Oh no, oh no no no... I couldn't... we couldn't.... I wasn't sure it would....
"It will fit, omega." His eyes fluttered. "You're built for us, remember? Your body will never know anything as perfect as when your mates please it."
"I don't think I can," I whimpered, even as my omega promised me she could take all of him and more.
Luka's forehead dropped to mine, and even though I felt him pulsing, his whole body vibrating with his need to knot me, he resisted, holding back his restraint long enough to comfort me. "Omega, do you trust us?"
Did I? They had given me no reason not to. In fact, I might say they were the only ones in the world I did trust. "Y-yes."
"Good." He pushed down his pants. "I can't control myself much longer." He gritted his teeth. "But know my alpha would do nothing but protect you. This will hurt at first, and I'm sorry. I can't help that. But you can't pull away. If you tear my alpha's knot from your body before he's ready to release you, it can, well... the pain is unimaginable. Understand?"
A cry broke from my lips as the waves of need increased, begging me to be filled, urging me to take him, trust him, let him own me. My thighs were soaked with need, my body probably more ready now than it would ever be any other time, and I needed this. He needed this. Our family unit needed this.
Family.
Why was the word so comforting and terrifying all at once?
To acknowledge that these men were my family was a big step. It meant that I was ready to take their bites, to wear their marks and admit to the world that these guys belonged to me. I wanted that. I needed that. I craved it so damn much.
The pain that ripped through my core was unbearable, tearing a whimper from my throat before I whispered, "Help me, please, Luka. I need you."
"Yes, omega." His eyes glazed over, and with one flex of his hips, his hard length nudged my entrance. "It's going to hurt before it feels good, omega. Trust me to protect you during this time, please, Sydney. Do you trust me?"
"Yes." My voice was hoarse, my body rubbing against his length so shamelessly, stealing whatever pleasure I could take from the touch.
He growled, his hands gripped my thighs as he spread them open around his hips, then he thrust forward, and the thick length of him plunged inside of me. It burned, the fullness of his body connecting with mine so foreign. I breathed deep, my chest heaving, as my fingernails dug into his forearm.
"Relax, little omega," he rumbled. "I've got you."
Relax? How could I relax when he was so big inside of me and his hips seemed to jolt involuntarily, forcing his length deeper. His eyes squinted closed as he took a few breaths, then he leaned down, kissing my lips, distracting me as he pulled out.
I bit his lip, my head rolling to the side as panic rose. "I can't do this. I can't. Oh god, Luka, everything hurts so much."
"It will get better," Felix promised as he dropped to his knees beside us, his fingers going to my over-sensitive nipple peak and rolling it between his fingertips.
Alfie followed his lead and scooted up to my other side, playing with my other nipple. "Let us ease your pain, darling."
Luka's grip on my body was tight as he slid his length back in, and I knew that no matter how much I begged him, if I kept begging, he wouldn't be able to stop. He couldn't. His alpha was designed to mate, the urge too strong to ignore. If it wasn't me, it would be any omega he caught scent of until he was fully mated and could control himself. Even then, he wouldn't have control when my heat took hold.
"I promise, omega," Luka's neck strained as he held himself over me, "it will feel good soon enough."
I wanted to believe him, but the burning inside was still nearly unmanageable... until he moved. When his hips jutted forward again, the slightest ripple of pleasure shook through my body and suddenly, I wanted more. I needed to know where that ripple would lead, just how good my alpha could make me feel.
"I need…" I closed my eyes and swallowed.
"What do you need, omega? Tell us." Felix cooed, his hands so soft and warm against my heated skin.
"More," I broke out.
"Our omega craves more, Alpha. Don't you disappoint her," Alfie taunted.
"Never," Luka huffed before his hips went wild, rutting into me with such force that each push in jolted my body back until he was mad with lust, rutting into me against the wall, using a hand to protect my head from impact. And the... impact, it was fucking bliss.
Never had I thought such feelings were possible. But suddenly with his cock inside of me, the slight swell of his knot rubbing into my channel, the unmanageable pain morphed into euphoria.
"Yes!" I threw my head back, my mouth open on a gasp. "More. More. More, Luka."
The grunts as he pushed into me only caused my stomach to clench, the sounds he made heightening the feelings that coursed through me. "You're so damn big."
"You’re taking me like your body was made for mine, omega. Maybe it was." His chest heaved. "Have you always been ours, omega?" I nodded my head in agreement as a hand flew up and braced against the wall. "I can't hear you!"
"Yes!" I cried out as Alfie bit a nipple, sending pain that was chased by pleasure through my body. "Yes. Only yours."
A wolfish smile transformed Luka's face. "Hear that, boys? This omega is ours. She's always been ours." His eyes grew serious. "We're going to make that permanent."
"Fuck yes we are," Felix echoed.
Luka's hand went to the small of my back, raising my hips enough to jack into me, his pace speeding up as the pleasure built. "I'm going to knot you, omega. I'm going to bite you. I'm going to show the world that if they touch our omega, we'll end their life. Do you want that, Sydney?"
God, belonging to them sounded too good to be true, but I'd never wanted anything more in my life. "Yes."
"Yes what, little omega?"
"Yes." My fingers dug into the wall that my hand was pressed against. "Yes, I want it. Alpha."
His eyes turned molten black when I called him alpha, a growl escaped him, and his cock with that thick bulgy knot at the base began to pulse, spurring on an orgasm that was slowly building. A low moan left me, my body wild as it tried to chase the pleasure I was so close to taking.
"You want to come, omega. You want to soak my cock with your slick. Fuck, what I'd give to feel your slick running down my thighs as you gush for me."
I whimpered. It was all I could do. My alpha talked dirty, and somehow that made me hotter for him. Was that even possible? Maybe I was hot for his words because he was mine. Ours.
Mine.
Mine.
Mine.
My omega hissed out her agreement, claiming the alpha as her property.
Show him your neck. Let him claim you. Take all of your alpha.
She was so demanding, relentlessly persistent, and I wanted to obey her, even though a part of me was terrified. But then, the alpha swallowed hard, his neck straining as he spoke. "I - I can't hold off much longer. He's... he's powerful."
And I knew what he was saying, knew that even I could hardly contain my omega sometimes, and she was the meekest of beings. But to have an alpha live inside you, control you, own you... I couldn't fathom the struggle. Instead, I closed my eyes for a brief moment, swallowed my fear, and spoke. "Do it.'
I tilted my head to the side, and Luka let out a roar that shook the very foundation of our home. Before I could blink, pain was searing into my neck as his teeth sunk into my throat and my warm blood spurted from my skin. The pain was followed by two more sharp bites as Felix and Alfie claimed their spots against my flesh... and then, it started. The pleasure returned with such strength my vision went white and my breath was stolen from my lungs. My mouth hung open, but no scream escaped as fireworks exploded in every cell of my body.
Luka's knot swelled, pulsing and bulging against my sensitive walls as he released ropes of his seed inside of me. Each spurt triggered a new wave of ecstasy until my body was so wrung out, I physically couldn't move. Our sweat mingled, our bodies locked together, and I felt the blackness of exhaustion pull at me.
A hand brushed my hair, and when I opened my eyes, Luka's green eyes were watching me, taking in every aspect of my face. His eyes lowered to my lips for a moment, before he mumbled, "You did so well, omega. So fucking well taking my knot." I began to squirm, already feeling the need inside me start to grow again. "Don't move, omega. Not yet. I-I can't unknot you yet, and I don't want to hurt you."
" But—"
"Don't worry, little omega," Felix cooed as his hand reached between the alpha and my body. "We'll make you feel good in the meantime."
And then, the delta began to rub against the bundle of nerves where my body joined with the alpha, and I grew dizzy with need all over again.
