"The heat. It must be hitting now. She hasn't asked for anything?" Archer pushed into the room and nearly swooned at the thick scent. "God, I don't know how you've survived up here."
He headed into the bathroom, instinctively honing in on her location and I heard him curse. "River, you can't just leave an omega like this!"
When I reached the bathroom, he was bundling her up in a towel that completely engulfed her, hiding those wicked scars.
Her eyes were glazed and she didn't even seem to notice as Archer scooped her into his arm. He glared at me and carried the omega out into the bedroom, calling for Orion as he did so.
Chapter 16
First Heat
Everything was on fire. My joints hurt, my head throbbed, but the worst was the twisting in my abdomen, like my insides were trying to get out. Slick poured from me, running down the drain. Useless, just like me.
I was vaguely aware of someone coming into the bathroom and turning off the water that was keeping me going, but I was too tired and sore to do anything about it. Rich alpha scents swirled around me, making my head even fuzzier. Smoke, leather, amber, they all combined into the most enticing smell ever and all I wanted to do was rub myself against them, marking them with my scent.
There was enough of my brain still clear that I held back the whines that automatically came to my throat. Closed my eyes against the bright lights and tried not to listen to the seductive rumble of their voices. It was too much. My entire body wanted them.
I started to pant, the waves of heat and painful cramps rendering me nearly mindless. I'd been through this before, I could do it again.
Someone laid me down on the bed and left me alone, my body screaming for contact. There was a shout and I whimpered, curling up into a tighter ball. I couldn't stand anyone angry around me right now, not when I only had a few brain cells left.
The scent of snow suddenly mingled with the other smells and my eyes flew open. I couldn't see clearly, but a man stood by the bed, peeling off his shirt.
"No." I forced out, my voice raspy. "No knotting. No sex."
"Shh,nena, don't worry. No sex, but I'm going to help you feel a little better." Orion's rich voice filled my ears as he stripped out of his pants. He was muscled and so perfect I just wanted to lick him. No. No, I did not. I moaned in frustration.
"What are you doing?" River snapped. "I won't let you get sucked in by her wiles, Orion. The last thing we need is one of us to end up bonding her."
"I won't bond her," Orion assured, his voice soothing after River's anger.
I didn't want River in here. His negativity almost physically hurt. Looking at the angry man, I glared at him. "You can leave."
He laughed. "Oh, no, princess. I'm not leaving a sneaky omega alone with any of my pack members. You're not going to trick us into anything."
A snarl erupted from my throat and I bared my teeth at him. I wasn't after his pack. "I hate alphas, you prick."
"Right, that's why you're practically grinding up into Orion right now."
Dammit. My hips were thrusting on their own, trying to reach Orion where he stood beside the bed, but I only succeeded in hitting his thighs.
Even clouded, my mind realized how dangerous this was. I had to get out of here.
Leaping up, leaving the towel on the bed, I ran for the door. None of them expected it and they reacted too late to catch me. My belly cramped and my legs burned with a fire that reached my head, but I was determined to get away from the alphas who were far too tempting to my stupid body.
Down the stairs and toward the door, I ran, hearing them thundering after me. I threw open the door and headed outside, relishing the cold against my overheated flesh.
"Quinn, you'll freeze to death!" someone yelled.
Not likely. I was melting the snow as I plunged through it, the icy crystals that formed the crust on the snow slicing my skin. The cold felt amazing and if I wasn't trying to get away, I would just flop down in the snow and let it cool me down to normal again. But, there were three ferocious alphas after me, and suddenly it seemed imperative I get out of here.
The snow was nearly to my waist after the blizzard. I struggled to get through it once I was past the shallower stuff near the house and it was only a matter of seconds before a rough arm caught me around the waist and pulled me up out of the snow.
River flipped me up over his shoulder and the sight of his tight ass in his jeans made me gush slick that covered his hands. He groaned in frustration, his grip on my legs tightening. "Could you control yourself, please?"
"She literally can't, that's why we're in this position," Orion said as we entered the house again.
"Let me go!" I kicked, but River's grip was too strong to escape. I was stuck.
