I’M SLEEPING IN the recliner, which is probably the most uncomfortable of the sleeping arrangements in this place, and that’s probably why I wake up when I hear the shower come on. I feel around in the bond until I know that it’s Lotus in there, and I feel a little tug to go and join her.

I have never showered with her yet, after all. I haven’t showered with any of my mates.

But I fight with myself about it, because I haven’t quite recovered from whatever it was that happened to us.

I was going to say, what she did to us.

But I realize I was wrong. Lotus didn’t do it. Striker is right when he says that we have tried to kill her, and it’s been against our will. He’s right that whatever she did to us was against her own will. It’s not Lotus’s fault.

But it was, uh, traumatic.

I don’t like being out of control, that’s the thing.

And I said that it was fine, and that it wasn’t unpleasant, but that was a lie.

It wasn’t unpleasant at first, but it became unpleasant.

It became very unpleasant when she wouldn’t let us sleep and she wouldn’t let us eat and when she insisted that our dicks stay hard and knotted up even if they were a little bit chafed from all the fucking she made us do.

And she was making us assfuck each other, and that… I’m still sore.

Even so, when I get the spray of it through the bond, like a splash of hot water in my face, I go to the door of the bathroom immediately and yank it open.

She’s there, in a towel, shivering hard, droplets of water clinging to her body, her hair slicked back and wet, and she looks incredibly small and incredibly vulnerable, and I go to her right away and wrap my arms around her.

“I’m g-getting you wet,” she says, her teeth still chattering.

“It’s fine,” I say to her. “It’s fine, I’m here. You need me, I’m here.”

She shakes her head at me. “It’s too much.”

“No such thing, omega,” I say.

“I’m…” She bites her lower lip, her eyes filling with tears.

“I know,” I say.

She begins to rub her wet forehead against my chest, grunting. “Knight, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

I put my hands all over her, crushing her small body against me as I gather her up and stand. “No, no, it’s not your fault. We can do this, omega, okay? You have to trust us.”

She’s still grunting, rubbing furiously.

I purr at her, and she calms down, cheek into my chest.

I hold her there against me, purring to her until she purrs back, and then I take her back to the bed.

I peel away her towel and strip off my clothes and we lie in the middle of the bed, skin on skin, as she continues to shiver and shudder.

Her skin is heated, and I have to admit I’m kind of surprised heat is actually hot .

Through the bond, I feel from her, though, that it’s only that way at first, in the very first stage.

Chills rack her body as she lies next to me, arching off the bed and whimpering.

Fuck.

I cover her body with my own, pressing all of my nude warmth into her.

She arches and bucks into me, tense, still shivering. God, her skin is so hot.

“Knight, please,” she whispers.

It reminds me of when we first found her, when we were just coming back to ourselves, on the run, and we didn’t have many words, and all she would say was please, please, and none of us could even get hard for her.

I don’t let her beg again. I adjust us, easily sliding my hard cock against her slippery little pussy. “Here you go, omega,” I tell her. “Here you go, this will help.”

She groans as I slide into her.

“Good?” I ask.

“I’m hurting you,” she says.

“Nah, I can take it,” I say, grinning at her. I’m still a little chafed, yeah, but she’s slick as all hell. It’s fine. “You want my knot?”

She only gasps, shivering as I sink into her, as her hot, wet cunt grips my erection.

And through the bond, I know I need to make her decisions for her right now, while she’s in heat.

This is different than the way she took us before, when she steamrolled over our will to force us to do as she liked.

She won’t be able to do that in heat. She’ll be needy and submissive, fragile and sweet, ours to pleasure and to care for.

I knot her right away, murmuring soothing sounds in her ear.

“Oh, yes, yes,” she gasps. “That’s good .”

“I got you, baby girl,” I inform her. “I got you now, and you’re going to be all right. Take my knot, just like you’re doing. Be a good omega and let your alpha knot you, baby.”

“Need it,” she breathes as she writhes under me, gasping, eyes closed.

First, I keep my chest pressed against hers, because she’s still shivering, and I want her as warm as possible.

But she keeps trying to fuck herself on my knot, so eventually, I sit up, seize her hips to hold her in place and begin deeply rocking myself into her slick little pussy, rubbing my knot against her sensitive opening even as I use the tip of my hard cock deep inside her.

Obligingly, she comes, and I can tell because of the bond.

It feels fucking amazing, and I come, too.

And everyone’s awake suddenly.

I feel that through the bond, too.

Arrow races in from the living room to climb onto the bed, and Calix and Striker come in closer.

She’s coming and shivering, her teeth clattering harshly against each other, letting out these piteous little moans.

“Fuck,” says Calix. “She’s in heat?”

“I’m s-sorry,” says Lotus, shivering in the middle of the bed.

“Can someone help her?” I say. “She’s cold.”

“Yes, of course,” says Striker, wrapping his body around her from the side.

Calix bends down to capture her lips, kissing her gentle and reverently. “Don’t worry, omega, you’re in good hands.”

Arrow is next to me, hand on my back, stroking one of Lotus’s thighs. “There are four of us sweetheart. We’ll get you through this.”

“But I…” She looks around at us, still shivering, her hair still wet from the shower, and she is so fucking small. “I don’t deserve you guys.”

“Shut up,” growls Striker.

“We’re yours,” says Arrow, his voice velvet. “You can’t doubt that, Lotus. You have to know we’re yours.”

“Everything for you,” says Calix, lowering his mouth to find one of her nipples.

She sighs as he begins to tease and nibble her there.

“There you go,” says Calix. “You like that.”

“She needs to come,” says Striker to me. “You’re hard, fuck her.”

“Right,” I say. I am hard, and I’m knotted in her, and I do fuck her.

Striker starts to toy with her other nipple while Arrow’s fingers snake over her thigh to find her little nub of her clitoris.

“There,” I say, thrusting into her. “There we go, omega. Let’s see how many times we can get you off, huh?”

She shudders, tipping her head back. “Th-thank you.”

“None of that,” says Calix. “This is why we’re here .”

He’s right. I love her. I’ve never loved a woman before I loved her, so I don’t know what it’s like for the others, but to me, she’s just perfect and soft and small and needy, and I have what she needs, and I’ll give it to her, and it’s right .

It feels different than being overridden, though I guess I know I am right now. I know that I’m in a rut, because I had an orgasm and I stayed hard enough to keep fucking her like this. It feels different than the harshness of what we endured before, though, and I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s just because I would choose this, regardless.

If Lotus needs me, I will do anything I can for her.

No matter what.

I’M THE ONE going to the door in nothing but a pair of boxers to talk to Coltrain a few hours later. Calix would have done it, since he’s been the primary point of contact with Coltrain thus far, but he’s currently knotted inside our pretty little naked omega’s pussy.

We’ve just been taking turns in her, which is hotter than some of our intense free-for-alls have been for some reason.

I’m not entirely sure why, because I like our free-for-alls.

I’m a fan of being sandwiched between two of my mates, my cock in someone while someone’s cock is inside me.

I’m a fan of having each and every one of Lotus’s pretty holes stretched full of my mates’ cocks. I’m a big fan of all of those things.

But this is softer and slower, maybe a little sweeter.

Just Lotus and one of my mates in the middle while the rest of us gather round and touch and toy with her.

We get to watch her being fucked, watch as she’s penetrated, watch as she tips back her head and gasps as she gets filled all the way up, watch her reaction to getting knotted.

I had my turn earlier.

I knelt between her thighs and her skin was still hot at that point, practically scalding, but she was through the worst of the chills.

Her pussy was dripping, literally dripping, because she’s practically gushing slick, but also because Knight had come in her and his seed was mingled in there with her essence.

The entwined smell of the two of them was intoxicating.

In fact, once I got into her, I begged for Knight to lick my mark, the one he made on my body, and he did, and that was really fucking good, practically electric.

Anyway, I slid my hard cock into her sloppy little hole and she shivered a little, and I bent down and kissed her and she opened her eyes in little slits and touch my chin and whispered, “Oh, Arrow, you feel good in me.”

I kissed her and told her she was beautiful and that I loved her.

She dragged her hand over my chest and gasped that she loved me, too.

I pulled back to gaze down as I slid my knot into her.

I wanted to watch her pretty pussy stretch to take me.

She made the sweetest, sexiest little noises as I pushed in.

I praised her, telling her what a good omega she was, how proud I was of her for taking my big alpha knot, and she let out little breathy, breathy groans as I inched my way in. She was tight and wet and amazing .
