Page 46 of Rot In Knotty Pieces

“You are my beautiful tapestry, Daega,” Raven whispers. “You are so lovely it hurts to look at you. But you are being such a good boy. I think it’s time we finish this heat, what do you say? Shall we have some sleep and cuddles?”

“You won’t leave?”

“No, we will be here with you, always,” she whispers against my lips.

I whine and press my face into her when she presses her fingers into my ass, gently fucking me with them. The heat sparks its dying embers.

“Rose,” Raven whispers. “We need you.”

Roseland comes over and kneels between my legs. He stares at me, and I have no anger to shield me, no sarcasm, no nonchalance. There is just raw me, scared to be left.

“I won’t leave you, Daega. Not anymore. I am sorry for hurting you.”

I lunge up, kissing him. He is strong and firm, and when he pushes into me, he’s so big I almost weep, but it feels so right. With each stroke of his cock, he hits something inside of me that sings.

I clutch at him, leaning in, dragging us together, locking us together, until his knot slides into me. At that exact moment, I reach out and grab her hand.

Raven lays down beside us, watching patiently, calmly, while Rose extinguishes the last of my heat.

Rolly brings me water, kissing my temple.

“Don’t fuss,” I complain.

“Just this once. I need to,” he says back, and I subside because it never occurred to me that they would need to.

I’m brought food, and they clean the tent up, airing it out. When it’s been aired, they set it up, and we go and lie in the tent, collapsing in piles together.

Raven looks up at the roof of the tent.

“How did you know I needed that?”

Raven turns her head towards me. “You know, you aren’t so different from us, Pix. We just separated into a couple of us. But Raptor and I are fairly scared to be left alone, and Raptor is violent during her heat because being vulnerable is the worst possible thing she can imagine doing. Also, I saw the two of you fighting.”

I snort a laugh, but it dies.

A kernel of shame builds.

“Did I hurt anyone?”

Blaze rolls on top of me. “We loved every minute of playing with you.”

“Playing? You have a black eye.”

“A love tap. Besides, you had your knives. You never picked them up.”

I stare at him. I could have killed them.

“But you didn’t,” Blaze says, accurately reading what I was thinking.

“I could have.”

“Some part of you knew you didn’t want to hurt us. So, you didn’t. Have more trust in us and yourself, Daega. You are our omega. The end. I will never willingly leave you, and I won’t allow you to leave me.”

Raven laughs.

“What’s funny?” Rolly snarls, rolling over and pinning her beneath him.

“Merle woke up deep-throating you. She had no idea what to do. That memory is hilarious. You are up there moaning and looking sexy, and there’s a cock in her throat, and she’s just like what the fuck.”
