The bath is ready. It’s lukewarm; the last thing she needs is a hot bath. Hopefully she doesn’t notice. Entering the nest, I seeParker eating her out, her fingers gripping his long hair tight as she grinds her pussy against his face. I wait a few minutes until she finishes. My cock is hard now but that can’t be helped seeing her lie there shaking with pleasure. It’s actually a good thing that happened. At least she’ll be extra relaxed for the bath.
Slowly approaching her, I brush the damp hair away from her face. She looks blissed out, eyes half lidded and breathing trying to catch up. “Thea, time for your bath,” I say softly.
She moves automatically, thank the Gods. As she stands, Parker basically flops over on his back, breathing heavily with his eyes already closing. I smirk at how sex-hausted my pack is.
I get into the bath first and help her in. She’s a little unsteady. She has hickies dotting her plush body all over from her neck to chest, back, stomach, and inner thighs. We all have a few from her as well. She also has some fingerprints mainly along the sides of her stomach, mostly from Eli and Keelan. That spot seems to be their favorite place to hold her when things get more intense.
I sit on one of the built-in seats and have her rest against me as I begin to wash her. Once I’ve finished cleaning her body, I begin working shampoo in her hair. I know she’ll feel better once she’s clean.
“Liam?”
“Mhm yes, Sweetheart?” I continue to massage her scalp. Being able to take care of her this way is incredibly relaxing. We should do this more outside of her heat. I tilt her head so I can rinse her hair thoroughly.
“Doesn’t this remind you of the first time you saw me naked?” she asks, a slight teasing tone to her voice. She appears to be more lucid, or in a lull in the heat. Her eyes are still closed from me washing her hair. I didn’t realize it but it does. Her first mini heat, the ice bath.
“It does but I much rather have this memory of you in a bath than that one. That night was one of the worst of my life,” I say, working a leave-in conditioner into her long strands. I can feel the question she wants to ask, hanging in the air. “Seeing you in extreme pain like that and being essentially useless to help is not something I could ever forget but hope to never repeat.” I stand and pull her up with me. Using the detachable shower head for the bath, I quickly rinse her and myself then drain the tub.
I help her out of the tub and over to the vanity where I quickly blow dry her hair. It fills the silence that was hanging between us. Once I finish, she looks at me in the mirror. “I’m so grateful you were there. A lot of things happened that night besides the heat spike, and the next morning I finally let myself give you a hug. I’m glad it happened the way it did.” She turns around to face me directly. “You are never useless. Having you with me is enough, you are enough,” she whispers, gaze never leaving mine.
Brushing the now dry hair behind her ear, I move to kiss her. But when my hand touches her cheek, I can feel how hot she is. I open the top drawer, pulling out the thermometer I stashed there. “How are you okay right now with a temp of 105.8?” I ask, seriously perplexed.
She shrugs like it’s nothing.
“What am I going to do with you?” I ask, half serious and half teasing, moving closer to her, her chest now pressing against mine. She smirks. Yeah, we both know what I’m going to do. This needs to be fast though. She is way too close to 106. She ends up being the one to dive in first, kissing me with abandon. My hands immediately go to her ass, gripping the plump cheeks in my hand, pulling her against me so she feels my hard-on against her stomach.
She moves her kisses down my chest until she’s teasing my nipple. I suddenly flip her and she braces her hands on thecountertop. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, I see her eyes widen from the move. I can’t help but smirk. She responds by grinding her ass against my cock. She really can be such a brat. I tap her ankles with the side of my foot. She understands and widens her stance, likely thinking she’s about to be fucked. But not yet.
I angle my cock between her slick pussy lips, my tip hitting her clit with the smallest thrust forward, making her body jolt. I keep moving my hips, working her clit until she’s right at the edge. Her fingers curl on the countertop, likely wishing there was something to dig them into. Her eyes meet mine in the mirror and I know she’s there. I hit her clit again with my cock and then spank her ass in five rapid successions. The look of shock and subsequent pleasure is almost enough to have me coming.
I let her catch her breath before doing anything else. She rests her head against the counter. The cool stone likely feels good against her hot skin. “I think I blacked out,” she mumbles as she looks at me again in the mirror.
I smirk. “I’d know if you actually blacked out, I am your doctor after all.”
She rolls her eyes at that. “It was a compliment, just take it.”
Sounds a little like a challenge, one I can return. I enter her quickly from behind, moving in and out at a steady pace. Her jaw drops from the movement. “You took this beautifully, Sweetheart,” I say, leaning forward to kiss her shoulder.
“Liam,” she whines. I know she needs the knot. Her brief moment of lucidity gave the false impression her heat wasn’t riding her as hard. With her temp as high as it is and that whine, I know the lull is over. Before I knot her, there’s one thing to do. Pulling out quickly, I squat down and kiss her reddened skin from the spanks. She moves as if to get up, but I reach my handup and put light pressure in the center of her back, letting her know to stay put which she does.
I massage her cheeks then move my hand to her front. My fingers enter her easily and begin curling slightly, finding that spot that has her legs shaking. When my fingers connect with that spot, I bite down on her right butt cheek. Her voice starts as a moan and goes nearly silent with how high it goes. I hadn’t heard that sound from her before.
I tend to my mark, at least well enough to continue and knot her. Entering her, I move slowly, my knot inflating fast. Thea straightens a bit, no longer nearly lying across the counter. Her eyes are blazing as she stares at me in the mirror. She’s a fucking vision, flushed with pleasure, chest heaving, her luscious body on display as I fuck her. I lean forward, one hand braced on the counter, the other I wrap around her neck. Even from here I can see how her eyes darken at the move. Giving her a light squeeze, I simultaneously feel her pussy clench around me. I’m so close to knotting her. One last thing though. I flip her back around, wanting her facing me to mark me. I pick up my pace, only then do I finally knot her. Her nails dig into my shoulders as she comes with me. Thea bites down on my neck, completing the bond.
She’s still tending to the mark as I rest my head against her shoulder. Every medical book I’ve read on bonding did not prepare me for how this would feel. Maybe it’s because we’re scent matches that it feels so much more intense. I can’t even think properly to theorize. She’s filling up every dark nook in my soul with her own. I hug her to me, needing to feel her here as much as there.
We stay like that well after my knot goes down. I check her temp after we pulled apart and it’s back to normal. She’s bonded to everyone in the pack except Micah. A pang of sympathy forhim goes through me but I push it down. They both have to figure out their relationship. It’ll work out, I know it.
Once I’ve cleaned us up, we go back to the nest. Keelan, Micah, and Eli are changing some pillowcases as we enter. I notice the sheets have been changed as well. We had a lot of nest blankets down that we’ve been swapping out as needed but it’s good that they changed the sheets too while she was out of the nest. Parker, Jake, and Ben aren’t here, my guess probably taking showers themselves.
Thea walks over to her usual spot and curls around a pillow. I move to help the guys with the pillows. Keelan claps me on the back before whispering, “Congrats brother.”
We’ve all expressed similar sentiments as she bonded with us one by one. It fills my heart nonetheless to hear it from my pack now. They truly are my family, my brothers. Just as we are lucky Thea came into our lives, we are equally lucky to have each other. I’m sure our last brother will complete the bond with Thea in his own time.

THEA
I’m so exhausted. I want to sleep for a week, but I can’t because my heat is still going eight days in. I’ve been having more moments of lucidity during the lulls so that has to mean it’s almost over, right? I’m in one right now but I can feel it starting to wane. I look to Liam, pleading with him. I’ve asked him a few times already during these moments when it’ll be over. I love my guys, I love them fucking me in all the fun and creative ways, but it’s a lot.
