24. Knotted
Knotted
" W ell, your vitals are looking much better," the doctor smiled down at me.
Archer was still locked tightly inside me and it was the most embarrassing thing I'd ever experienced, having a doctor check me over while an alpha's knot stayed firmly put. He hadn't softened a bit, even though I would have deflated from embarrassment.
"Does this mean she's out of the woods?" River asked from his seat across the room. He'd kept his distance this whole time, apart from the cuddling while I was asleep.
"I want her here for observation for another 24 hours to make sure, but I think we can safely say she's in regular heat now and no longer suffering from heatshock.
However, we'll need to run tests or you can have your regular doctor run them, to rule out any long-lasting damage to her internal organs.
" Dr. Adler smiled at me again. "You should feel much better now, but you'll still need knots until your heat is over. "
"Wouldn't she be better off in a nest?" Orion asked, running his hand over my arm. His touch made tingles run through my body, even with the doctor there. "This room is so cold and sterile."
Now that he mentioned it, he was right. The room smelled funny, but the antiseptic odor was overlaid with the alphas' scents and the smell of sex and slick.
My cheeks heated at the thought of the doctor and nurses smelling what we'd been up to in here, but the fact that I was even thinking about that meant I was doing better.
"If this were a normal heat, yes," Dr. Adler said seriously. "The fact that she was in full-blown heatshock when she arrived means we need to keep an eye on things, though, and I want to make sure she stays hydrated for a while longer with the IV."
"It's fine," I said, eager for him to leave the room.
The doctor chuckled. "If you need to rest, rest, but apart from that, knots should be at least every three to four hours." He nodded at us and left the room, just as a nurse came in.
I buried my face in the pillow and felt Archer laughing silently behind me as the nurse quickly and efficiently changed out the IV bag.
"No one will disturb you until that's finished," she said quietly, leaving the room.
When the door snicked shut, Archer ground against my ass, nipping my shoulder.
An electric shock ran through me and I found myself arching back into him. My core clenched around his hard length again and he reached a hand down to find my clit and circle it just so until I came again.
"Let her sleep, Archer!" Orion muttered.
My eyes were closed, but I cracked them open to see the tattooed alpha glaring at his packmate over my shoulder. It made me smile. He was so protective. Or maybe it was jealousy. Either way, I was too tired to pay any further attention and drifted off to sleep yet again.
I woke to something soft and warm between my legs. It lapped at my clit and slid between my lower lips, teasing my entrance and sweeping back up again.
Peering down, I saw Archer between my legs, his mouth buried there as he licked and sucked me to another orgasm. Slick poured out of me, but he didn't lift his head until I stopped shaking.
"You taste amazing," he told me. "I could live off you for the rest of my life."
There was a choking sound to my right and I looked over to see River coughing up a bit of the sandwich he was holding. "Sorry, ignore me." He gave Archer an odd look and went back to eating.
"I need to clean up," I muttered, struggling to sit up on the bed. The entire sheet below me was soaking wet and I felt sticky and dirty, but no longer burning up.
"Hang on." Archer lifted me in his arms again, snagged the IV pole, and carried me to the bathroom. "Want help with the shower?"
I was already naked and the man had just been eating me out. What was left to be embarrassed about?
"Sure."
As it turned out, I needed his help. My legs were so wobbly he had to sit me down on a little shower stool that was folded beside the shower before he turned on the water and adjusted it. As the cool liquid washed away the slick and cum, I leaned back against Archer.
He gently shampooed my hair and then turned me so I could lean back under the spray to rinse out my hair. His cock was right in front of me and I saw it clearly for the first time.
"What the hell, Archer? Didn't that hurt?" I stared at the heavily laden cock, dripping with metal on the underside and through the tip. Rings and bars adorned his flaccid flesh and I couldn't imagine what it must feel like when he was hard.
My hand automatically flew up to lift him, weighing the metal in my hand. He started to thicken and I watched as the bits of metal moved to adjust with his ever growing length.
"Yeah, it hurt, but it was so worth it. First, because I kinda like pain, and second because it gives you more pleasure than anyone else's dick." He smirked down at me, his dark hair sticking up all over the place. "You liked it, didn't you?"
"I did." I leaned forward to study the decorations more closely and he sucked in a breath. "How many of these are there?" I tapped each bar on the underside of his cock, which now jutted upwards, counting. "Eight. Eight barbells through your dick?"
"And two rings at the tip," he pointed out. "Plus four more rings in my sack."
I shook my head. "You're insane."
"Am I?" he picked me up and slid me down his body, his hard length catching on my entrance.
I reached down to adjust his placement and he let me slide down, impaling me on all that metal. It felt incredible.
Turning to lean me against the wall of the shower, Archer kissed me deeply. My flavor was on his tongue and somehow that made it even more exciting as he thrust slowly, building the fire bit by bit.
I squirmed and wrapped my legs around his narrow hips, but I was too weak to really lift myself. I had to wait for him to speed up on his own. When he finally did, the pressure building inside me finally released, flooding him with slick and making me arch back in his arms.
Archer bit down on my nipple as I came around him, thrusting hard inside me so his knot was seated as deep as he could get it.
In this position, I couldn't feel the piercings, but I could definitely feel the spurts of cum hitting my inner walls and cervix.
His knot sealed it all in and when we both came down from our highs, he sat on the stool, with me straddling his lap.
The position made him sink even deeper inside me. It felt like his cock was about to poke into my throat and I told him as much.
"Not quite that long, sweetheart," he said, kissing me gently. "But way to stoke my ego."
"What are you two doing in there?" Orion called from the room. "It sure doesn't sound like showering."
"Shut up," Archer called back with a grin on his face. "He's just jealous he hasn't been able to knot you again."
When his knot finally deflated, he finished washing me up and then dried me like I was a precious item, before wrapping me in a robe hanging on the back of the bathroom door and carrying me back out to the bed.
"How are you feeling?" River asked, handing me a small plate with fresh fruit on it.
I took the plate, grateful for something light right now.
"The pain is mostly gone and I don't feel like I'm about to burst into flames," I told him. "My head is still kind of foggy, but I think that's normal."
"It is," Orion confirmed. He tapped the plate, silently commanding me to eat.
I nibbled on a strawberry, noticing that all the alphas were staring at my mouth. It was unnerving and it made me wonder what was going to happen after this was over.
"I've been researching," River said, holding up his phone. He'd found a charger and had it plugged inot the wall where he was sitting. "It says that omegas with heatshock tend to need knots for far longer than a regular heat. It messes up their system and throws everything off."
My heart skipped a beat. "How long?"
"Up to two weeks."
"Damn." Archer reached out a hand and massaged the back of my neck. "Looks like we'll be busy."
"You're feeling pretty clear right now, though?" Orion watched me eat a slice of watermelon, his brow slightly furrowed. "Alejandra didn't have many clear moments in her heats, not until she was nearly done."
"So I might be finished?" I asked, torn between hoping I was done and longing for more of the four alphas in the room.
"Not likely, since you've literally only been in here for a day and night," he responded. "But it's a good sign. You were pretty out of it when you were in full heatshock."
I leaned against the headboard and looked around at the alphas. "Thank you, for helping me. I would have died without your knots."
"It wasn't much of a hardship," Kade said, looking at the floor. "I think we all enjoyed it as much or more than you did."
"Maybe, but still. I know you hate omegas and I'm sorry you had to get involved."
He shrugged. "It's fine."
River just sat in his chair, silent. He was the only one who hadn't knotted me and I didn't want to say anything about it. He hated me, I knew that. I'd begged for his knot in the truck and he'd been willing to let me die rather than give me what I needed. That told me everything.
