Evelyn’s POV
I awoke to heat, of all the times to wake up in heat when I wanted nothing to do with them was torture. My skin coated in sweat, my hair damp and sticking to my face and my stomach tightening as arousal washes over me. Sitting upright in the bed, I toss the blanket off. My skin burning and my core pulsating. Ryland pulling me against him when Orion walks in from downstairs his eyes darkening as I struggle to get out of Ryland’s hold. Thaddeus tossing and turning next to me, arousal flooding the bond before I hear Thaddeus growls but hasn’t woken yet.
Desire coursing through me but I force it away. No way was I letting them touch me. I push against them wanting their hands off me, their touch making me react to them and I can’t help but moan at the feel of their skin on mine as they reach for me in their sleep.
Orion walks over placing his hand on my head, and I had to fight with myself not to lean into his touch.
“You’re burning up, you’re in heat again” he says a concerned look on his face as his eyes dart to Thaddeus next to me. I don’t even remember them coming to bed, I only remember Ryland being in the bed with me before I fell asleep.
“I know, help me get off the bed,” I snap at him. I needed to get out of this bed before either of them woke up, but it was too late. Ryland’s head whipped to the side his eyes opening before he grabs me pushing me on my back.
“Get off me,” I scream. His arousal making it so much harder to fight my own. He reluctantly moves allowing me up and I crawl over the top of him. His hands gripping my hips as I straddle him, but I force his hands away before running to the bathroom. Orion following me and I don’t even get undressed just turn the shower on, jumping under the cold water just as pain washes over me making me double over.
Orion and Ryland walk in before opening the shower screen door.
“Get away from me,” I snap at them, slamming the door shut as I try to breathe through the pain washing over me. Everything in me telling me to go to them but for once my mind was clear. I would rather drop dead then give into the mate bond.
No matter how cold the water was, it didn’t ease the heat rushing through me. The pain was all I could focus on, yet the antidote sat on the other side of the shower. But I won’t give in, that’s what they want some submissive plaything to order around, I just hoped Thaddeus didn’t wake up, but that hope was short lived when I hear him growl and I notice Ryland spin around, blocking the door. Thaddeus shoving past him before he stops opening the shower screen wider and I am forced to my knees when pain rolls over me again.
Why was this so painful yet arousing at the same time. Longing filled me, and Thaddeus reached down gripping my shoulder a moan leaving my lips at his touch.
“She is in heat, why is she in here?” he asks.
“Because I don’t want you touching me,” I spat at him through gritted teeth. Thaddeus growls and I could feel his arousal through the bond only getting stronger as he takes a deep breath in.
“You would rather be in pain then let us help you?” he asks curiously. Was he mentally challenged who in their right mind would want anything to with him after what he did?
“Not like pain isn’t something I am not used to, Thaddeus. Now get out all of you,” I scream as I feel stabbing pain move between my legs and I scream before forcing myself to breathe through it.
“Evelyn,” Thaddeus says becoming angry before being cut off by Orion.
“You can’t force her, Thaddeus.”
