Page 42 of The Beta: Part Three
This is hell. I am actually in hell. When we all agreed that we wanted to bring a baby into our pack and that it would be biologically Jasper's I had no idea it would launch me directly into hell. The last time I was with Jasper and Talia it was in a very similar position, but it didn't have me questioning my control. Talia and I were focused on Jasper and it was completely blissful.
This time there's still plenty of pleasure, but there are a few other intensely overwhelming sensations happening in the undercurrent of it. Sensations like feeling Talia's slick drip onto my abdomen and trail down the outsides of my hips. Sensations like her teeth biting into my chest again and again as she sobs in pleasure and unmet need. Sensations like my blood boiling inside my skull as I listen to Jasper beg her to hold on just a little longer as he rides me to completion. Fuck, from my viewpoint they're both riding me.
“Hold on, baby girl. Just a little bit more. We're almost there. Almost, baby, almost. I can feel his knot, then I can cum for you. You want my cum don't you, cupcake?”
He's drenched in sweat and his thighs are trembling with more than the need for release. Any other time I would have flipped us over and put us all out of misery, but it's important to do this the way we're doing it.
Jasper's riding me, but he's also fucking her. Talia's braced on her hands and knees over me while Jasper takes her from behind. She needs a knot so badly, and he doesn't have one to give her. He won't cum until I knot him, then we're passing her to Trent, who is on his knees beside us working his own cock while he watches. If we were any other pack, this would be uncomfortable or even ridiculous, but we aren't and he needs to be able to knot her the very second Jasper and I hand her off to him.
Talia is beyond the ability to coherently respond to Jasper's encouragement. She's running on pure instinct now. She is the epitome of a female omega in heat and we are making her wait for what she needs. I'm lucky she's not doing more than just leaving bite marks, and I'm extremely glad that she can't get her hands on Jasper. So far she's done really well to not touch him aggressively in any way, but this is very obviously testing her limits.
“Almost, fuck, almost,” I grunt, then she gives me an especially vicious bite and that's all it takes to throw us over the edge. I thrust my hips and shove Jasper down on me as my knot fully expands and I feel him clenching around me when he releases into Talia.
“Thank fuck,” Trent grits out and pulls her from between Jasper and me without waiting for us to help him.
Talia's cries are ringing in my ear. Trent didn't even attempt to move her to a different part of the nest, he slammed inside her right beside me. Their bodies are so close to mine that I can feel every thrust Trent makes into her.
“Are you ready for my knot, cupcake? I'm ready to give it to you.”
All Talia can manage is a long, breathy moan.
“There you go, darlin. God, you feel so good.” His southern accent is thick as he comforts her.
“That's it, baby,” Jasper slurs, “such a good girl. Letting all of us take care of you.” He coaxes her hand out of Trent's hair and links his fingers with hers. “This is it, you know,” he sighs, “I can already feel it.” Then he lays over my chest and kisses a few of Talia's bites while we wait for Talia and Trent to finish.
By the time Trent rolls them onto their sides, Jasper is mostly asleep. A combined heat has had unexpected results. Talia was pretty far gone after the first day of her last heat, but she has been mostly overtaken by her heat after the first few hours of this one. But Jasper hasn’t lost himself for the first time. He's almost always in and out the entire time he's in heat, but for some reason during their shared heat Jasper has remained fully in control of himself. He's still navigating the waves of heat and his intense need, but he has remained completely conscious of everything happening in the nest. The only time he has been unaware is when he falls asleep after being knotted. He's showing signs of exhaustion, but nothing like when he was helping Talia through her heat. It's the damnedest thing and I can't wait to discuss it with him after it's over with.
“I don't know how many more times we can put her through that,” Alex says quietly. “It shouldn't be this damn hard to get cum into an omega. She's only been able to take it, what twice? Maybe three times?”
“Three times. It hurts her to take him when her body craves a knot so badly,” Corso answers, and lays back against a pillow. “I agree with you, Alex. I don't think I can take denying her again. I'm barely above rut as it is. I won't be able to hear her make those sounds and not give her what she needs once I'm gone to it.”
“Three times is enough.” Reid's decree is barely more than a rolling growl. He is further gone than the rest of us, and the strain to maintain control is obvious.
“We all agree,” Devon says from across the room. He went to heat up some real food. Talia definitely won't eat it, but the rest of us, including Jasper, are starving. “If she isn't pregnant after this, she'll need to decide if she'd like to wait until their next shared heat to give Jasper another chance, or if she wants to let one of us try again during her next heat. Whatever she wants is what we'll do.”
Nathan goes to help Devon put what smells like chicken into bowls to be passed to the rest of us. We learned early on with Jasper that any food needs to be eaten in small amounts and should be given out in bowls instead of plates. We have also learned that any form of spaghetti, or anything with sauce, is strictly forbidden from the nest. Easy to eat, mostly dry foods are what works best.
“We don't need to try again,” Jasper mumbles, “it's done. Eat your chicken and try to rest. Her body will need a couple days to catch up, and she's still going to need you. Me too. This has been a completely different heat than any I've ever had. I'm so tired.”
I was already purring steadily, but as the words leave his mouth the others begin purring, too.
“Oh my god, thank you. This is one of the things she calls a perk. This is a perfect sound” Jasper groans, then he's asleep before Nathan ever makes it over with food.
“Do you think it worked?” Nathan whispers when he hands me my bowl.
“Jasper thinks so,” I whisper back, “I hope so. It's what she wants. I don't want her to be disappointed.”
Chapter eighteen
Corso
Jasper was right. Talia is pregnant. I can feel it and smell the change in her scent. It is altered in a way that seems to be a blend of her and that of the baby she carries, making her notes richer, reminding me of the simmer pots my grandmother and mother kept on the stove when I was still at home. I don't know if any of the others have noticed yet. Jasper will certainly know the moment he comes out of his own heat.
Talia's first heat was a disaster, shortened due to the trauma of me not being able to resist what I always wanted and would have probably lasted the same full week as her second. This heat cut off abruptly at five days, almost twenty-four hours after her last time with Jasper. Which is what happens when an omega becomes pregnant. Symptoms of pregnancy tend to come on quickly, as well. And most females are visibly pregnant by the halfway point at fifteen weeks. We should have a baby to hold and lose sleep over by the time spring sets in.
I'm not sure if it is possible for me to be much happier than I am right now. I have been dreaming of a child with Talia for years. I begged her to consider it before she left us for good, but she wouldn't. She said she couldn't take that away from the omega my pack would eventually find. It was incredibly frustrating for me because she has been all my pack has ever wanted or needed. Her being a beta was never an issue for us, I just wish it hadn't been an issue for her.
She doesn't want to leave the nest, which is also understandable. It's very possible that she will keep restructuring this nest for the entire thirty weeks until the baby arrives; which would be more than okay with me. Then again, it's just as likely that she will claim Nathan's room like she does during her individual heat. It's also possible that she will build her maternal nest in Jasper's room since the baby will be biologically his. Anything she does will be perfect. I want Talia to be wherever she is happiest.
