Page 18 of Feral: Part Two
I'm human again, but there's still a fox in my lap, a smaller, more delicate version of my own shifted form. The sensation is disorienting as fuck, like looking into a mirror that shows a different reality. I purr softly for Preston, curled up against my thighs in the cramped bathtub.
Sweat drips down my face and back, my skin slick with moisture that has nothing to do with the humidity in the small bathroom. Every muscle in my body aches like I've been through some kind of physical transformation, which I suppose I have. The only relief is the cold tile against my back, providing only momentary relief, a distressed whine sitting at the back of my throat.
I drop my hands to my belly as I try to resituate and fail, the sweat along my back making me slip down further into the tub.Just as I try to wriggle back up into a sitting position, the door opens to reveal the rest of the pack, their faces a mixture of relief and confusion as they take in the scene.
Malik chuckles, shaking his head. "Wow, this is definitely a mindfuck."
"And it wasn't a mindfuck when I shifted?" I shoot back, too tired to put much bite into the words.
I lean my head back against the tile again, exhaustion settling over me. The constant shifting between forms is taking a toll on my body, leaving me feeling drained and disoriented, but the heat prickling beneath my skin tells me that I’m dangerously close to a feral spike. I thought I was done with those, but apparently, being pregnant just means more shit being thrown my way.
"No, I'm just saying that both of you, together, is a mindfuck. And knowing that Preston is closer to his due date..."
Malik moves forward to grab Preston, but Thane intercepts him with a firm look. "I've got him."
Malik snorts, his expression turning sassy. "No, you've got your other Omega. Both of you. He needs a little attention.I'vegot Preston."
The possessive way they talk about us should probably annoy me, but instead, it's oddly comforting. There's something reassuring about being claimed so definitively, about knowing exactly where I stand in the pack hierarchy.
My body relaxes slightly as I start rubbing my belly again, my lids falling shut. Preston is lifted off of me and then I try to stand, but my legs refuse to cooperate. Thane reaches into the tub and picks me up like I weigh nothing before placing me carefully on the toilet seat.
"Let's get you a bath and then back to bed. How are you feeling?"
"I could be better," I admit, too tired to put up my usual defensive walls. "How did the meeting go?"
Kael steps closer, his presence immediately calming me. I both hate and love that. "Ulysses will be back around soon. Had it been anyone else, they would have wanted actual proof."
I lean back instinctively and find my head resting against Kael's stomach. The contact is perfect, my instincts calming in a way I desperately need. After all, if this really is the start of a spike, I’m going to need one of them. Kael reaches down to brush the hair from my forehead, his fingers stilling over the heated skin.
"You're burning up.”
"I'm uncomfortable and swollen," I throw back at him, trying to manage a chuckle that comes out as a whine.
Thane starts filling the bath, playing around with all the fancy knobs. "Omegas are not supposed to endure a pregnancy in two months. It's a lot of stress on the body. I can only imagine how either of you are feeling." He plops onto the edge of the tub, watching me carefully. His nostrils flare when my scent sweetens a little, Thane suddenly alert.
Kael notices too, his cock thickening against my arm, but neither one moves to do anything about it, for which I’m grateful. I focus on keeping my breathing relaxed, Kael moving to shed his clothes and step into the tub. Thane guides me into the Alpha’s lap and then Thane follows suit after throwing his clothes on top of our own.
“Slate, you can fight us any other goddamn time, okay? We all need each other and right now you need us and then sleep. You’re really burning up, babe. What is going on?” Thane reaches forward to run his hands up and down my arms, a shiver running down my back.
I’m not cold, though.
My instincts are running on overdrive, desperately crying out for more of whatever they’ll give. My back arches a little as I feel the familiar sensation of slick gathering around my hole, even as water sloshes over my belly. Kael’s cock thickens against my ass, my hands moving to either side of the tub as a cramp renders me silent.
Neither of the Alphas speak as I grit my teeth, my vision blurring for a second and then clearing. "Didn't have to stay in here with me," I push out, my voice a low rasp. "Could have gone with Preston."
I start to wriggle, the movement causing more slick to coat my ass, making it easier for Kael to slide against me. "What the fuck," he mutters, his grip tightening on my hips.
Thane moves closer, his eyes scanning my face, searching for answers. "Are you going into heat? How is that possible?"
I let out the whine I’ve been holding back, one of my hands falling to my stomach as the pain intensifies.. "I get spikes... not a heat. It's a whole thing. I didn't think they'd still happen since I was likeheavilypregnant, but fuck..." I reach down behind me with my other hand, adjusting Kael's cock against my ass so that it presses against my entrance. "Kael, you're going to have to fuck me. I can't move. I need you to fuck me. I need to come.Please." I don’t want to beg, but I’m too big to move, and fuck, I don’t want to suffer anymore. Not like I used to.
My teeth grind together as a snarl escapes my lips, need ripping through me. Thane chuckles as he leans forward, his hand wrapping around my cock. He starts to jerk me off, his thumb occasionally swiping across the slit along the top. "Like this?" he purrs.
The omega haze takes over, a fog of need and desire that clouds my vision and dulls my senses. Kael lifts me, his strong arms steadying me as he lowers me onto his cock. The stretch is intense, a burn that turns to pleasure as he fills me completely,his double knot the perfect amount of everything. The knot at the tip expands slightly, dragging along with each thrust, his Alpha knot already starting to thicken.
It’s just as overwhelming as the first time he fucked me with both knots, but this time it isn’t painful. It’s a mixture of pleasure and overstimulation that has me gasping for more, the twin sensations of being fucked and Thane jerking me off dragging me toward the edge.
The water sloshes around us as I squeeze my eyes shut, riding the pleasure until a gasp tears from my throat, my body shuddering with release. I fall back against Kael’s chest as he slams me down onto his cock one last time, his Alpha knot locking us together before he explodes inside of me. I sag as the spike dissipates, my eyes opening just in time to see Thane licking my release off his hand.
