We’ve both gotten sweaty from our exertions and the fierceness of our coupling, and I rest my cheek against her temple as we breathe together. Every once in a while, a shudder passes through Lily, as if her body is still working to process all the sensations it just experienced.
“Did that help?” I ask, my voice a low rasp.
“Yes.” She nods, and I can hear it in her voice. She doesn’t sound as frantic or strung out as she did before. “It did. I can think more clearly now, and it doesn’t hurt. I feel full, but in a good way.” Her tone softens as she adds in a whisper, “Thank you, Knox.”
I turn my head to press a kiss to her hair. “You don’t have to thank me. It wasn’t a hardship, believe me.”
As if to echo my words, my shaft gives another faint pulse, like it’s trying to spill more cum into her. I can already feel my knot starting to deflate—another symptom of being around an Omega in heat. We won’t stay locked together as long, allowing her to be fucked more frequently, since that’s exactly what she’ll need.
Even as my knot starts to go down, I linger inside her for another moment, reluctant to pull away. But I’ve only bought a small amount of time. She may be temporarily sated, but she’s still going into her first ever heat, which means this is only the beginning. We need to take this window of time to get her home and into her nest, making sure she’s comfortable and has everything she needs before she loses herself to the heat entirely.
With a low groan, I slide my cock out of her, feeling the pressure of her inner walls as they clamp down around me.
“Don’t worry,” I tell her quietly. “I’ll fuck you again soon. I already can’t wait, but we need to get out of here. This is no place for an Omega in heat.”
“Right.”
She blinks, shaking her head as if to clear it. Already, I can see a glassiness returning to her eyes, and I know it won’t be long before she’s just as desperate as she was when I found her.
Reaching down, I tug my pants back up, tucking my semi-hard cock away. Then I help Lily get dressed again, not even bothering to clean up the mess between her legs.
As I’m finishing up with that, there’s a knock at the door, and a voice calls out, “Lily?”
It’s Miles. “We’re okay, you can come in.”
He opens the door and blinks as our combined scents hits him. Then his gaze shifts to me. “I take it she’s fully in heat, then.”
I nod. “We need to get her home.”
I direct Miles to scoop Lily up. She could use his scent too, so she’s bonding with more than just me. She loops her arms around his neck and buries her nose into his clavicle, breathing him in deeply.
We head out and rejoin the others. “Cruz!” I yell. “Lawson! We got her!”
Andrea’s still waiting with Ben, who looks worried. As the other three fuss over Lily and get her to the car, I pick up Ben. “Hey, buddy.”
“Is Lily okay?” Ben looks over at her. “She looks sick.”
“I know, she does kinda look sick. You get sick too sometimes, right?”
Ben nods.
“Well, you know how you like to be taken care of when you’re sick. Lily’s sick so we’re going to take care of her. But we’re going to be busy taking care of her, and we don’t want you to feel like you’re not being taken care of, so Aunt Andrea will take care of you in the meantime.”
“And so I don’t get germs,” Ben adds.
I chuckle. This isn’t the kind of sickness that someone else can catch, but I don’t want him thinking this means he can stop washing his hands and blowing his nose. “Keeping away from germs is very important, you’re right. So we’ll have you stay with Andrea until Lily’s feeling better, how’s that sound?”
I glance over at Andrea, who’s nodding along, listening in. “I’ll come over to the house tomorrow to get some of his stuff, but we’ll have a fun time, won’t we, Ben?”
She smiles at him, and Ben tentatively smiles back and nods. “Lily will be okay, right Uncle Knox?”
I know that his mom is never far from his mind. “She will be. She just needs us to take care of her. Nothing’s going to happen to her, I promise.”
Ben nods, and Cruz, Miles, and Lawson all lean in to give him a hug goodbye.
“Be good for your aunt,” Cruz teases him. “I know what a terror you can be.”
“I’m not!” Ben laughs.
