“Say it,” I whispered against his mouth, “Out loud.”
Edison pulled away, his golden eyes searching my face before shifting to Rhodes who was behind me. Whatever he found in the other alpha’s face must have given him courage because he nodded, his hands cupping my face gently as he shifted around my side so he could face me fully.
“I love you.” The words were said in a rush, like he was afraid he wouldn’t get them all out if he took his time. “And that scares the shit out of me.”
My throat tightened, relief filling me as I realized what I’d been feeling for the past few months wasn’t unrequited. “I love you too.”
With soft hands, I reached back for Rhodes, pulling him into the hospital bed with us. “And I love you,” I murmured to him, watching his face shift and change as he looked at me with surprise.
“I…” His mouth opened and closed as anxiety entered his dark eyes.
“It’s okay,” I reassured him with a soft kiss. “You can wait until we figure out everything to say it if you want.”
Rhodes swallowed heavily before nodding, pulling me in for a deeper kiss.
“What are we going to do if my heat is coming? Didn’t something bad happen this morning? Should we try and wait?”
Edison had been roused from our bed by Oona, and judging by the look on his face, whatever news she had must not have been good. I didn’t want to have to take suppressants, but I also knew my heat would put both of them out of commission for at least a few days and that could get very dangerous very quickly.
“I will make sure it is safe for us to be with you in your heat. Don’t worry.”
I nodded, trusting Edison to take care of us as my mind finally remembered what I’d been doing before I fainted so dramatically in front of everyone.
Sitting up straight with a gasp, I glanced around with wide eyes. “My assignment! My camera! It fell!”
The camera in question was quickly shoved in front of my face by Rhodes before I could really start to panic and I snatched it out of his hands, surveying it for any damage. A fall from that height should have at least caused a cracked lens.
“I caught it,” Rhodes told me sheepishly as I turned it on and flipped through my last pictures taken.
Edison shot the other alpha a dry frown, shaking his head as he watched me fiddle with the camera. “Yeah. Apparently he caught it over you, so if your hip is bruised, blame him.”
“You perfect man,” I gushed, dragging Rhodes down by the front of his shirt so I could kiss him.
Rhodes’ smile was slow and pleased at the praise. “Wow, I guess I should let you fall on your ass more often.”
My laugh was loud and bright as someone knocked on the door to the hospital—probably Dr. Stedmeyer with my test results.
My heat was coming, my guys were here, I still felt a warm glow from my husband’s confession of love, and even my camera was still intact. All in all, a pretty good day aside from the blood gushing from my nose.
A moan was pulled from my lips as I rode on Rhodes’ cock, my skin covered in a fine layer of sweat as the sound of the headboard of my nest slapping into the wall filled the room.
“I’m not sure any of this is actually to jumpstart my heat,” I managed in between gasps as the alpha underneath me sucked my nipple into his mouth.
“I have it on good authority that it will,” Edison’s voice came from behind me as he continued with the task he’d set out on as soon as they’d slipped into my room after their business had ended for the day.
I was given an extension on all of my midterms even though most of them were almost done and told to rest by my professors, so I’d been at home for the last week… but I was definitely not resting.
If I thought we were having a lot of sex before the day of my nosebleed, I’d been sorely mistaken.
Every single chance the two men got they were sliding their hands into my clothes and pulling me into empty rooms.
Every. Single. One.
Yesterday, Rhodes had even stopped our self-defense lesson and I’d gotten up close and personal with the blue mats in the gym in an entirely new way.
I shuddered at the memory which made Rhodes groan as I tightened around him.
“How will toying with my butt start my heat?” I asked as I felt the soft silicone tip of a plug being prodded at the tight rosette of my ass which Edison had spent an inordinate amount of time stretching and lubing up ever since he’d arrived halfway through what Rhodes and I had been doing in my nest.
“Hmm?” Edison asked, poking his head up and over my shoulder to grin at me. “Well, the more worked up we get you, the more your hormones seem to sizzle under the surface of your skin. Can’t you smell it on yourself, Perrie? Your heat is so close it’s been driving me fucking crazy all day. You’ve been sprinkling your scent around like a trail of sugar and I can barely get any work done.”
Despite his words, I felt no closer to my heat than I had when Dr. Stedmeyer confirmed with my blood tests.
“I think you just like messing with it,” I grumbled tightly as the plug was pushed inside.
It was getting far too easy for him to put things back there, though they still hadn’t actually gotten to the point of putting one of their cocks in my ass.
Every time I asked I was told to be patient and my patience was quickly running out.
I never thought I’d be the kind of girl who actually liked having things put inside of my back hole, but now as I lifted my hips and slid down on Rhodes’ thick length, I could feel him brushing against the plug and it nearly made my legs go numb from how good it felt.
All too soon I was coming, my vision turning white as I wrapped my arms around Rhodes’ neck and held on for dear life as I listened to him growl in my ear.
After, I vaguely felt Edison grab the ring on the end of the plug and tug it out of me and my entire body jerked at the sensation.
“My good little omega,” Edison purred in my ear as I felt him press the head of his cock into my back, drawing the tip down the divot where my spine was, leaving a line of precum in his wake.
