Fuck, I need my Alphas again.
The pain is dulled after having finished multiple times, but I still feel on edge. My abdomen is tight, and there's a lingering pain that throbs behind my eyes.
She tries to climb off of me, but I don’t let her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me. Her stomach is in front of my face, which I place tender kisses against.
“Piper, what if he doesn’t want this? This was too soon. You couldn’t have stopped it?”
I feel her back stiffen at his suggestion, and I let out an annoyed huff.
“Can you yell at me later?”
“I’m not sure I can. We never spoke about it. I have no idea on how he views bonding. What if he wants the mark removed? He’s going to have to hide that in the locker room.”
I’ve had quite enough. I move Piper quickly off of me and stand from the bed. Both Alphas watch me as I grab Piper’s ankle and drag her down the bed.
“Owen?” she asks, and I shiver. I grab her by the waist and pick her up. She automatically wraps her arms around my shoulders and her legs around my hips. “Owen, it’s fine. No one is taking my bond mark off of you.”
I look over to my large Alpha, whom I’m very displeased with for talking about me in this way. The way he scolded my Alpha and acted like I didn’t beg her for her bite.
“You don’t know that,” he says annoyed. I glare at him and carry Piper to the bathroom and shut the door and lock it. I sit my body on the floor and hold my arms out for Piper to sit on my lap. Her size is perfect. She’s tall but lean. She fits perfectly in my arms, and I’m never letting her leave.
She sighs and does as I want, sitting on my lap as her hands find my face. Her fingertips dance along my face and jaw.
“He didn’t mean that. He’s just mad at me.” The look I give her must show my irritation. “I shouldn’t have bonded with you without your consent.” Hurt and anger floods me, but she shakes her head. “But I would never take it back. Being able to feel you and have this connection to you means the world to me.”
“Good,” I say softly.
Her hands stroke my face. “Owen, you in there?”
“Barely,” I reply, and she smiles at me.
“You can’t be mad at Alexi; he’s just trying to protect you. He’s a good Alpha.”
“I know,” I say, stroking her bare skin with the backs of my fingers.
“Do you need anything? How are you feeling?”
I groan, and the back of my head lightly hits the door. Even though Alexi hasn’t knocked or tried to break down this door, I can sense him standing on the other side.
“Food,” I say softly, not letting go of her. I may be having a moment of lucidity, but I’m still feeling possessive and frustrated. She tries to get up, but I grab her hips and tug her back down onto my lap.
“I’ve got to get up and get you food, baby,” she says softly to me, her hands back on my face.
“Not worth it,” I say, shaking my head.
“I’ll grab some snacks,” I hear Alexi’s deep voice through the door.
“You can’t stay mad at him, he didn’t mean it like that,” Piper says, and I nod my head and lick my lips. She leans forward and places a chaste kiss against my lips. “You’re my bonded.”
I squeeze her tightly against me, and she squeaks, making me lighten up on how tightly I’m holding her.
“I don’t think you realize how strong you are during your heat.”
The only thing I pick out of that sentence is that my Alpha thinks I’m strong. Somehow she ends up on top of my cock, locking me again.

I groan as I wake up. Every single inch of my body aches. I thought that I put my body through the ringer for hockey, but it’s nothing compared to how I feel after my heat. I rub my hand over my chest and feel the healed bond mark Piper gave me and sigh in contentment.
