Her last heat was much different. Fun and wild, pure instinct and need. This one isn’t off to a good start.

I can tell Reid feels just as useless as I do. People don’t understand just how powerful a scent match bond is unless they feel it for themselves.

Maybe it will be different after she shares her first heat with Damien, but right now, her bond is running the show. She might wear his mark, but they haven’t shared this important moment together yet.

Of all the times she had to get her heat, this is the worst.

We don’t blame her, she can’t help it. We just feel bad that we can’t do more.

I know she needs us just as much as she needs him, and once he gets here, everything will be different.

“That’s it.” Reid sets her down on the bench. She looks so tired and weak. I can smell how needy she is, and I know she wants relief, but neither of us have asked if she would like us to make her feel better in that way because of how upset she is about Damien not being here.

She groans, her hand wrapping around her stomach. “I can’t stand seeing her like this.” I get to my knees in front of her. “Addie, baby, let me help you.”

“It hurts,” she whispers.

“I know, Little One. Let your Alpha take care of you, okay?”

Closing her eyes, she lets her head settle back against the wall. Grabbing the shower head, I pull it off and gently spray the cool water on her heated skin.

She sighs, her body melting, muscles relaxing.

“Feel better?”

She nods slowly. “So good.” Her voice is a little slurred.

Once her body temperature comes down, Reid and I work together to wash her down. I have a feeling this heat is going to be more intense than the last. This will be one of many showers.

I want to be excited about it, because I know she won’t always be in pain, it’s just hard when she looks so broken.

“Alpha,” she whimpers as I wash the mess of slick between her thighs. “I need you.”

Dropping the washcloth, I bring my fingers between her thighs, brushing them against her swollen clit as I use the other one to open her legs. “Do you need me to take care of you down here, baby?”

“Yes.” She nods.

Reid takes a seat next to her, gathering her in his lap. He holds open her legs, her dripping pretty pink pussy on display.

I groan, my mouth waters, cock so painfully hard.

“Eat,” Reid demands, his voice a low rumbling growl.

Don’t have to ask me twice.

I feast on her pussy until she’s soaking my face and screaming her release, her fingers digging into Reid’s arm.

It seems to settle her for now. We dry her off and bring her back to her nest. As soon as we lay her down, she’s rolling over, cuddling into her blankets, and passes out.

“I really hope he gets here soon.” Reid blows out a breath, running a hand through his damp hair, towel wrapped around his waist.

“Preferably before she wakes up. It’s fucking killing me to see her like this, man.”

“Me too.” He sits on the edge of Addie’s bed. “Last time was one of the most exciting moments of my life. Something I still think about today. I’ve been excited about being able to do it again, but now?” he shakes his head. “I just need Damien to get here.”

Checking my phone, I see a text message from Damien sent two hours ago that he was boarding the plane. “He should be here soon.”

“This would be so much easier if she were only our Omega,” he mutters.
