Jayne almost tripped over his feet on his way into the bedroom, and while he stumbled, he managed to keep his balance. Everett had him, and with his support, Jayne knew he’d never come to harm. Caleb flicked on the light and closed the door behind them, sending new, sinful thoughts through Jayne.

Caleb and Everett wanted to see him while they fucked him. They wanted to watch as their cocks sank into Jayne’s greedy hole.

Yes!his rising heat celebrated even as his sensibilities despaired.YES!

The room was too hot. Jayne undid each button of his shirt until the garment hung from his shoulders. While each step exposed his skin to moving air, movement only brought temporary relief. Jayne would have cast his shirt entirely aside if it weren’t for the fact that Everett showed no sign of wanting to let go of his hand.

It wouldn’t matter.

Soon enough, Caleb and Everett would make short work of his heat. Once Jayne conceived, the fire would die. With two of them working him over, he didn’t think it would take long at all.

“Can’t wait to take your knot,” Jayne cooed. He spoke to both Caleb and Everett, although he had his doubts that Caleb could hear, since he was trailing behind. “Can’t wait for you to fill me and make this all go away.”

Everett squeezed Jayne’s hand, a wild glint in his eyes that made Jayne’s heart race and caused his imagination to go wild. Those eyes promised that in seconds, Everett would throw him onto the bed, rip his clothes from his body, and ravage Jayne within an inch of his life. He’d pillage and plunder, taking what he wanted, until Jayne was depleted and exhausted, then do it all over until Jayne’s heat surrendered.

Knot after knot.

Hot, huge load after load.

The longer Jayne let the fantasy exist, the more vibrant it became. He’d taken Everett’s cock a few times since coming to stay in the condo, but their Friday nights together would be nothing in comparison to what they were about to share. Raw, savage sex. Gasped, shaking breaths. Burning thighs. Delirious fullness. Bodies pushed to their limit, then forced further yet.

Jayne’s balls tightened, and he felt the rush as orgasm drew near.

It was what he needed, wasn’t it? To be used, filled, and broken.

No no no no no.

To be dragged down and made into a plaything. To be objectified.

It had happened with Bastian, and now it would happen again.

Only Everett didn’t take Jayne to bed. He brought Jayne to the en suite bathroom instead.

Everett flipped the light switch, and crisp white light showered Jayne from above. He squeezed his eyes shut as his pupils struggled to adjust, and by the time the sting had worn off and he opened his eyes again, Caleb had entered the room. He searched the medicine cabinet while Everett guided Jayne to the alcove bathtub and seated him on its edge. The chill from the porcelain soaked through the bottom of Jayne’s pants, offering him another moment of relief from his rising heat.

“Here.” Caleb’s voice had dropped a note and become burdened with arousal, but unlike Jayne, who was unable to fight his baser urges, Caleb persevered. He turned away from the medicine cabinet and came to stand in front of Jayne, a blister pack and a pill bottle in hand. Jayne looked from the medication to Caleb in disbelief. He knew what they were.

Blockers. Oral birth control.

And not the brand that Jayne had chosen—Caleb and Everett had arranged all of this themselves.

“Birth control is everyone’s responsibility,” Everett explained as Caleb presented Jayne with his offering. “None of us are ready to take care of a second baby, so it’s up to all of us to make sure that it doesn’t happen.”

“Not to say that we won’t have mind-blowing heat sex with you,” Caleb added. “Becausefuck,Jayne, all I want to do right now is screw you all night long, but Everett’s right—if we want to grow our family, then we need to have that discussion before you go into heat. We don’t want you to feel like you’ve been trapped. We adore you. We want to keep you happy.”

Jayne looked at the blister pack. The simple branding printed across the top read LO-GESTREL, a generic, monophasic oral birth control that targeted the ovum, thickening the mucus membrane surrounding it while inhibiting the release of the essential hormones necessary to create favorable conditions for pregnancy. Like all birth control meant to neutralize omega heats, only short-term use was recommended. Taken too soon before a heat or for too long after the heat had concluded, the pills could have serious and sometimes permanent effects on regular hormone production. As such, they were regulated, and available via prescription only.

Shaken out of his heat stupor by the doctor in him, Jayne scowled at Caleb. “How did you get these?”

Caleb shrugged, but Jayne saw the hint of a grin hiding behind his casual facade. “The Alcrest family’s always been involved with pharmaceuticals.”

“That doesn’t make this any more legal.” While what Jayne said was contrary, his tone was light. He traced the pad of his index finger over the plastic blisters, stunned by the kindness being shown to him. It would have been easy for Caleb and Everett to shrug Jayne’s heat off as Jayne’s responsibility, or to claim that the pheromones Jayne was producing had overwhelmed them and turned them beastly. Lord knew there were alphas who did. But that wasn’t Caleb and Everett, and the more Jayne came to learn of them, the less he believed it ever would be.

They’d prepared for an eventuality on their own in case Jayne wasn’t able to prepare for it himself, and they’d done questionable, perhaps illegal things to do it.

All so Jayne could be safe.

Jayne blinked away the onset of tears and looked up from the blister pack, deciding he needed to buffer his previous statement. Not everything was so black and white, and he didn’t want to come across as cruel to the men who’d moved mountains for his benefit. “It means a lot to me. Thank you.”
