River just ignored that I was in pain, yanking hard on my arm to pull me upright and then grabbing me and swinging me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
I let a couple of tears fall since he couldn't see me, then quickly wiped them away. Looking around, I saw that we were in a different room than Archer's. This one was decorated all in yellows and grays.
Before I had a chance to really look around from my upside down position, River flipped me off his shoulder and tossed me down on a fluffy bed. I bounced once and then lay there in a cloud of soft comfort, staring up at the pale yellow ceiling.
"Get into bed. You're going to sleep," River snapped.
"I'm not tired." Even to my ears, it sounded like a petulant child's resistence.
River just looked at me, his navy blue eyes hard. "I don't care. You've cost me a lot of time and energy and I'm exhausted, so you'll go to bed now and if you're not tired, you can damn well stay awake."
He shut the bedroom door, locked it and crossed to check the window. "You need to pee?"
"What?"
"Do. You. Need. To. Pee?"
"Yes." I decided I'd take the opportunity, since he might not let me up again all night.
"Then go." He gestured to the bathroom.
When I went in and started to shut the door, he put a hand out to stop the door from closing. "Just go."
"There's not even a window in here!"
"Piss or get into the bed." He sounded exhausted and angry.
"Fine." I quickly peed and washed my hands before leaving the bathroom.
He went in after me and I heard him use the toilet too, before he stalked out of the room and threw back the covers beside me. To my shock, he stripped out of his clothes until he was wearing nothing but black boxer briefs that clearly outlined his cock, heavy and soft against his leg.
"I wasn't trying to seduce anyone!" I stared at him in horror. "Please, don't do this."
"You think I want you?" He threw his head back and laughed. "Please, omega. I already told you, we don't fuck omegas. Go to sleep."
I didn't lie down as he crawled under the blankets. The room was cold and the blankets were the only way to really stay warm. Finally, scooting to the edge of the bed, I snuggled down, pulling the blankets up to my chin.
As I laid my arm over the covers, River rolled to face me and snapped something around my wrist. Cold metal bit into my skin. He'd handcuffed me.
When I sat up to look, I realized he'd cuffed me to himself.
"You're not going anywhere, no matter how hard I sleep," he said with a self-satisfied grin. "Now lie down. And don't even think about wiggling around all night."

Perfume
The omega was gone, dragged off by River, but her scent lingered in the room. She smelled downright delectable. Even the sourness of her embarrassment and fear just made it smell like tart apples instead of sweet ones.
"Fuck, that's the most enticing scent I've ever smelled," Archer groaned, adjusting himself in his pants. "Please tell me I'm not alone in this."
"She was on your lap," I pointed out. "Of course, you're horny for her."
Archer shot me an annoyed look. "Okay, Mister Perfect over here. Orion? Thoughts?"
Orion shrugged. "She tasted pretty good, but I bet her slick is even sweeter."
Archer groaned. "Okay, we have got to keep it together around her. Let's come up with a game plan."
