From this angle it’s not easy.
“Permission to touch?” I ask, setting my hand on his hip. His gaze flashes up at me with panic. “I just want to help.” Emmett’s cheeks redden.
“I don’t think anyone can help me,” he says, pushing away from Auryn and me.
“Em…”
“Just…give me a chance to try?” I ask. Auryn scrambles in the bed, shifting back so I can get closer to Emmett. Emmett looks at her, and she nods.
“Okay, but I’m pretty sure—”
I shift my position and push him so he’s laying down on his back. Auryn watches us intently.
I notice immediately what the problem is. His knot is trying to inflate, but he’s still pretty inflamed beneath the surface. His knot is red and swollen.
“Is there any lubricant in here?” I ask as I trail one finger over his shaft. He winces.
“Fuck! That hurts!” Em bites. “In the nightstand,” he says through a gasp.
“Auryn, please grab me the lubricant.” A moment later she’s shoving it at me, and I’m pouring it on his dick.
“Come here,” I order her. She looks at me quizzically but listens without protest. I massage the lubricant into my hands before sliding them carefully down Em’s dick. He hisses but lets out a sigh.
“Breathe,” I tell him. “Your knot is trying to inflate. That’s a good thing.”
“Doesn’t feel good right now,” he bites.
“It will if you both listen to me,” I say. “Do as I say, and you’ll get through this, okay?”
Em’s gaze catches mine as Auryn says, “Okay.”
“Em, get on all fours,” I order.
“Excuse me?” he bites as I give him a knowing look.
“You want to get through this in one piece or not?”
Emmett groans. “Fucking hell, Olly.”
“Do as he says.” Auryn’s voice carries above ours. “Be a good boy for me, Em.”
Something shifts in his gaze, and he whines petulantly as he rights himself. My dick twitches faintly, but I ignore it. I’m not concerned about sex or coming right now. I need to help Em. I need to provide care for my pack.
He needs to come more than I do.
“Tell me how you feel right now,” I say as I get behind him. Auryn watches me intently. “Where’s your pain at? Five, six…”
“Six,” he says.
I reach underneath him with one hand, holding his dick steady. I run my thumb underneath his knot, and he shivers. It’s hot and swollen. Swollen with cum. I need to be sure it’s not clogging any ducts, so I do my best to massage the heavy swell, and Emmett’s legs shake. He moans.
“Does that feel better?” I ask as I repeat the motion. Emmett hangs his head.
“Yes,” he says.
“Okay, Auryn, you can come take over,” I say, but Emmett whines.
“No, please don’t…” his voice is strangled and hazy. It doesn’t sound like him.
