28. Lyra

It wasn’t long after Pascal pulled out that my heat demanded another knot was needed to take its place. I started to whine and curl up into a ball as my body burned with need.

“Come here, starlight,” Tanner said as he grabbed my leg and dragged me down to where he’d been resting. “Tell me what you need, my sweet girl?”

“You know what I need,” I answered, grasping his hard cock. “I want this inside me, fucking me until you explode and knot my needy cunt.”

Tanner’s brows shot up. “Seems like our lady certainly knows what she wants.”

Rolling onto my stomach, I curled my knees to my chest and presented my pussy to Tanner. “Please, Alpha, I feel so empty.”

“Then I will be happy to fill you up,” Tanner crooned. “But first, I want to know how my gorgeous ball of starlight tastes.”

I cried out at the first touch of his tongue on my pussy as he slowly drew it from my clit to my asshole. His large hands pushed my legs wider before spreading my cheeks to give him better access to what he wanted to feast upon. Tanner’s tongue moved so fast as he teased my clit with it. I wasn’t prepared for the orgasm that seemed to sneak up on me, causing my legs to shake.

“That is just the first of many,” Tanner informed me as he dropped a kiss on the swell of my ass. “A little birdie told me you had some toys stashed in your room, so I did a little snooping. Well, I didn’t have to look hard since they were in your nightstand drawer, you naughty little Omega. Do you like it when your partner uses your toys on you?”

Looking over my shoulder, I met Tanner’s gaze and nodded. “I love it, but most Alphas don’t.”

Tanner grinned as he lifted one of my vibrating wands. “Lucky for you, starlight, I love to include toys. We’ll have to see if Fawn will let us play with some of them once we get you settled at our place. Would you like that?”

“Yes, very much so,” I answered in a rush, my body shivering at the thought of having an Alpha who wasn’t intimidated by toys.

“Good girl, that’s just the answer I wanted to hear. Now let’s see what we can do about this needy pussy of yours. I think it could use some love.” Tanner switched on the wand and tested the settings before settling on one that slowly pulsed like a drum beat. “Too bad I don’t have a blindfold to make this even more fun. I guess we’ll just have to wait for next time.”

Tanner’s mouth was back on my pussy as he explored every nook and cranny outside before delving deeper. In the back of my mind, a glimmer of worry appeared since I knew three other men had come in my pussy, leaving it a mess. The gusto at which Tanner devoured me sent that worry packing as a second orgasm erupted. This time, he didn’t stop when I cried out but added the vibrator into the mix, turning my cries of pleasure into screams of ecstasy. I couldn’t tell you how many times I came or how long Tanner abused my pussy with his tongue, fingers, and the wand. Desperate to get a reprieve, I tried to close my legs, but he’d wedged his body between mine, preventing that from happening. I’d even squirted a few times, soaking Tanner and the bedding, but that didn’t deter him in the least.

“Look at you, starlight, trying to drown me in your cum. God, it’s so fucking sexy to see it makes me want to see you do it again,” Tanner praised before stuffing the three fingers he’d been using back in my pussy to coax more out of my body.

I finally reached a point where I thought my brain was going to melt if he continued to make me come. “Please, Alpha, I can’t come anymore.”

“Oh, yes, you can, starlight, and I’ll prove it to you,” Tanner argued as his hands gripped my hips, and he slammed his cock into my overly sensitive pussy.

My eyes rolled back in my head as I orgasmed for the millionth time. I clung to the bedding as Tanner fucked me with the ease and confidence of a man who knew how to ruin my pussy in a way that had me begging for more.

“Oh. My. God. You’re. So. Fucking. Deep,” I said in time with his thrusts.

“You want to see someone taking it deep? Look over at your sweet bonded Omega,” Tanner instructed, looping an arm around my shoulders to lift me into a sitting position.

The sight before my eyes was something I didn’t even think was possible. Fawn was upside down, with Eli holding his legs as he piledrived straight down into Fawn’s ass. Zachary was there, too, sucking on Fawn’s dick while thrusting his own into Fawn’s mouth.

“What do you think, starlight? Could you handle something like that?” Tanner asked, whispering in my ear as he sped up the pace. “If you look closely, you can see Eli’s dick making Fawn’s belly protrude just a little bit with how deep he’s in that boy’s womb. Do you think we’ll get him pregnant this time?”

With the combination of Tanner’s words, how sensitive I was, and the angle change so his cock was rubbing over my G-spot, I came harder than I thought possible. The world started to close in around me, but the abrupt manner in which Tanner pulled out had me instantly grounded.

“Nooo,” I screamed as I was turned on my back and laid once more on the bed.

Tanner loomed over me, his brown eyes bright with lust as some of his red-brown hair stuck to his sweaty forehead. Reaching out, I wrapped my limbs around him, trying to pull him flush with my body. “Please…” I whispered. “ Please, Alpha, I’ll be your good girl, just give me back your cock.”

“Shh, starlight, I wasn’t planning on leaving you empty,” Tanner soothed, brushing his lips over mine as he filled me once more, only stopping when our bodies met. “I was craving the feel of your lips, and I couldn’t kiss you the way I wanted in that position. When I knot you for the first time, I have to see your face so I can burn it into my memory forever. This is just the beginning for us, but I want to savor every moment with you.”

Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I kissed Tanner. It was as if he were filling my starved heart and pussy at the same time. I clung to him as he pounded into me with the sole purpose of chasing his climax. Tanner had made damn sure I wasn’t wanting in that department, yet when I felt his knot swelling, he didn’t try to slow down until he was rooted deep inside me. This Alpha of mine was determined to melt my brain so all it could remember was the feeling of coming at his touch. I screamed into his mouth, my fingers digging into his skin as I felt him come a second before I did. Every muscle in my body contracted from being worked raw with the ceaseless amount of orgasms that came before this one.

Tanner rolled us onto our side, where he began to purr, combing his fingers through my sweaty, snarled hair to get it out of my face. I was wrung out and exhausted, but this heat was quickly becoming the best I’d ever experienced, and it was only day one.

“Hey there,little vixen, I need you to drink this for me,” Pascal urged as he maneuvered behind me so I could rest against his chest.

Blinking my tired eyes open, I found myself in a rare lucid moment where the fires of my heat were cooled. No one knew how long it would last, but I was thankful for a clear head. I tried to take the glass, but my hands were shaky, so I gave in and let Pascal hold it for me. He’d been incredibly thoughtful and placed a straw for me to use. I took a big gulp, desperate to rid my mouth of feeling like the desert. When the liquid hit my tongue, I grimaced and gagged just a little at the taste.

“What is that?” I asked after forcing myself to swallow.

“It’s electrolytes,” Pascal answered. “I know the unflavored kind tastes like sweaty socks, but it will be worth it in the end.”

“I believe you, but I don’t think I could force myself to drink that without throwing up,” I warned.

“I’m sorry, beautiful. I looked to see if you had any lemons or limes, but your fridge is pretty empty,” Pascal said apologetically.

Then an idea popped into my head. Looking around the room, I found Fawn sprawled over Eli’s chest, but they were fast asleep. I couldn’t find Tanner or Zachary so chances were they were near the kitchen. As if they knew I’d been looking for them, the pair entered the bedroom with trays of food.

“Hey, good lookin’,” Zachary greeted with a wink. “You think we can get some food in you?”

“I can try,” I agreed. “But first, would you do me a huge favor?”

Zachary walked over to my side of the bed and set down the tray. He then nuzzled our noses together a moment before kissing me tenderly. “Anything you need, just name it, honey bear.”

Little butterflies exploded in my stomach at how sweet he was being. After all that’s happened in this bedroom, I’m not sure why that made me blush, but it did. “Will you please get the little bottle of flavor drops from the pantry? I can’t drink this the way it tastes.”

“I don’t blame you one bit. That shit is worse than the stuff the doc gives you to drink before they shove a camera up your ass,” Zachary muttered, then shivered dramatically. “Is there only one bottle, or did you have a flavor in mind?”

“There’s only one… strawberry kiwi,” I shared. “It should be on the second shelf near the spices.”

“Okay, be right back,” Zachary said and kissed me once more before heading to the kitchen.

Pascal bent down and kissed my shoulder. “I’m sorry it’s so awful. Next time, we’ll be more prepared. We had groceries delivered, and they were out of the flavor we wanted. The other option was grape, but that one is worse than plain if you can believe it.”

Leaning back, I lazily kissed along his jaw. “There’s no need to be sorry. Like you said, this wasn’t planned in the slightest, so you had to make it work. Thank you for taking such good care of us, my sweet pickle king.”

With a chuckle, Pascal leaned his head against mine. “So I guess that nickname is gonna stick around for a while?”

“I won’t if you don’t like it,” I assured him. “No one should have to suffer having a nickname they don’t like. I might find it cute and full of meaning, but if you hate it, then I’ll never use it again.”

Pascal shifted me to the side, which provided a better angle from which to kiss me. “If you’re the one who’s calling me that, then I’m absolutely fine with it. I’d be honored to be your pickle king.”

“Not just any pickle king,” I corrected, grinning. “A sweet pickle king.”

I started to giggle as Pascal peppered my face with kisses and almost spilled the drink, but Zachary managed to grab it first. “Okay, you two settle down so Lyra can get some food in her before her heat flares up again.” He handed me back the glass, and I was now able to hold it on my own. “Taste that, and let me know if it needs more flavor.”

The once clear liquid was a bright pink and tasted a million times better. “It’s drinkable.”

“Good, now eat something,” Zachary ordered, pointing at the tray.

He stood there with his arms crossed until I grabbed a square of the sandwich that he’d made and took a bite. “Good girl, now I’m gonna make Fawn do the same thing.”

I’d been so distracted talking with Pascal, I didn’t notice that Tanner had a rather grumpy-looking Fawn leaning against him. Curious as to what had ruffled the cheerful man’s feathers, our bond hummed as if thinking about it had brought it to the forefront of my mind. I instantly understood he wasn’t mad at Tanner but was still tired and unhappy they’d woken him up. Fawn’s hazel gaze met mine, and his frown shifted to a sleepy smile, sending tingles over my skin. He’d known I was checking on him, and Fawn was being sweet and letting me know he was fine.

“Hey there, sexy lady,” Fawn said with a wink.

Having been mid-swallow, I almost choked on my drink and managed not to spew it out my nose. Pascal gave me a few pats on the back as I coughed.

“Don’t make me laugh while I’m drinking,” I scolded.

Fawn’s smile grew wider. “It would have been fine. I’d happily clean up my mess, licking it off of you.”

My breath hitched as I pictured how it would feel to have his tongue all over me again.

“Okay, that’s enough talking out of you, open up,” Zachary cut in, stuffing part of a sandwich into Fawn’s mouth. “We’re catching a lucky break here, and I plan to make the most out of it.”

Fawn’s eyes narrowed as he chewed, but I knew he was as hungry as I was. It’s as if our bodies forgot other things were needed to function, but once reminded, it demanded to be fed. I polished off the sandwich and fresh fruit like a starved animal, but my belly finally felt satisfied. A wave of sleepiness washed over me, and I yawned.

“How has it only been a day?” I murmured.

“It’s been almost three since Eli came over,” Pascal informed me. “We’ve been here with you for almost two.”

Frowning, I rubbed my temple, trying to figure out where I’d lost so much time. After Tanner’s orgasm marathon, Eli took my ass again, then Pascal stole me when I started to whine, and that brings us to now, right?

“Why do I feel like so much time shouldn’t have passed?” I questioned.

“I can’t answer that for you, beautiful, but after fucking for two days straight, I think your body couldn’t take much more, and you passed out for a solid six hours,” Pascal shared.

“Does that mean my heat is over? Normally, they are about four days long, but this one came early,” I pondered, trying to sort out my memories.

“Angel,” Fawn called from where he was kneeling in front of me and placed a hand on my knee. “You’re okay and in a safe place with people you can trust. We have nowhere to be, and no one is missing anything important because we’re on courting leave.”

I hadn’t realized how fast my heart was beating or how anxious I felt until a stream of calming energy was poured into me from my bond with Fawn.

“That’s it, angel. Take a deep breath and let all those jittery feelings go,” Fawn encouraged, taking my hands.

It took a few breaths, but I finally felt myself settle back to a feeling of normalcy. Pascal’s arms around my waist tightened slightly as he curled himself over me in a hug. “What happened, beautiful? One moment you were fine, and the next, Fawn was rushing over.”

“I-I don’t like the feeling of losing time,” I admitted. “When I woke up and found myself being pulled out of the car, not having a clue as to what happened, it was terrifying. How could I not remember why Mother and I were even in the car? Where were we going that was so important she’d drive in the rain? Mother hated driving in bad weather. To this day, I remember flashes of things or feelings, but if the police hadn’t told me what they discovered in the investigation, I wouldn’t remember a damn thing. It makes you feel so powerless.”

Fawn shifted closer and kissed both my hands he still held. “Please don’t take this the wrong way, angel, but when I was in your bathroom, I noticed two pill bottles on the counter. I know one of them is an anti-anxiety medication because I was on it for a little while. Have you been taking that medication daily?”

“Yes,” I answered, following his train of thought. “But I forgot to take one before going to the spa, and I doubt I’ve taken them since. Oh God, no wonder I’m freaking out.”

“Hey, none of that,” Eli interjected as he stepped out of the bathroom with both pill bottles. “None of us for a second thought you were freaking out. We’ll get you back on your medication and whatever else you need to have a happy, amazing life.”

Fawn pointed to the right bottle, and Eli dumped out the five pills left. I’d meant to reach out to Dr. Barnett, but it kept slipping my mind with everything going on.

“Do you need this other pill as well?” Eli questioned.

“No, that’s something I carry with me because it’s fast-acting. If I end up in a situation where I feel myself being triggered, and I can’t get out of it, I take one to keep from losing my shit,” I explained, taking the pill Eli offered.

“Good to know. I think all of us should carry one just in case you find yourself without them,” Eli suggested. “Crew and I did the same thing for Bailey-Rose. Personally, I feel it’s always better to be overprepared and never need it.”

The guys all mumbled their agreement, and while I appreciated their unquestioning acceptance of this part of my life, it didn’t make me despise it any less. Now, they’d each have a reminder with them that I could become a basket case at any time. I was a mentally ill ticking time bomb that could be put back together but never truly fixed. How was that fair to them?

“Oh fuck.” I gasped, my body jolting as scorching hot waves of pain and pleasure slammed into me. Looking down, I found Fawn’s hand between my legs, and the cheeky bastard had purposely pinched my clit to snap me out of my downward spiral. “What the hell?”

Fawn shrugged and proceeded to sink two fingers in my pussy. “Don’t they say the best way to combat negative emotions is to redirect your thoughts? Tell me, angel, are you still thinking about how broken and inconvenient you believe yourself to be?”

If my jaw could have hit the floor, it would have. However, it was quickly picked back up as I moaned, feeling his fingers teasing my G-spot. Holy shit, this man was a fast study.

“I didn’t think so,” Fawn purred, licking his mark on my neck, and immediately had me coming on his fingers. “Passie, you don’t mind if I steal her so I don’t end up fucking her on your lap, do you?”

Pascal laughed and kissed my cheek before climbing off the bed. “Not at all… you two have fun. I’m gonna get some food.”
