It was too much, and I pulled my foot away again.
Artemis sighed, and Fletcher sagged under me.
It was too late, though. My wave had arrived.
I pulled away from Fletcher with a moan, writhing on the bed as I tried to sit on my own. It was like some unseen hand was trying to fold me into the omega mating position and force me to present myself to Artemis for breeding. Which was what I wanted. I wanted a baby. But I was so scared. The instinct to mate within me was making me lose my mind. Fighting it only had me weeping in frustration.
“We can’t go on like this,” Fletcher said, misery in his voice.
“No, we can’t,” Artemis agreed.
But instead of sinking with depression, like Fletcher and I were, Artemis shuffled to the side of the bed and stood.
He was a sight to behold, all glorious and sexual. He had the strength to force me to do whatever he wanted, and his protruding cock was a weapon that I wouldn’t be able to resist, physically or mentally. But he had amazing control, and instead of lunging for me, he took a step back.
“I have an idea,” he said, inspiration sparking in his eyes.
“You do?” I felt a sudden surge of very similar inspiration from Fletcher.
“I need you,” I moaned. It wasn’t what I’d intended to say, but that was the heat wave taking over.
Artemis seemed to understand what I was saying anyhow. “I might know how to resolve all this if you’re willing to trust me.” He looked right at me as he spoke.
That in itself had my hole gushing and my womb radiating desperation. All I could do in response was nod at him.
“We can use the milking chair,” Artemis said.
I grimaced, disappointed that he only meant we could milk him for seed again.
“What do you mean?” Fletcher said, leaning forward in a way that made me think I’d misunderstood Artemis.
“Strap me to the chair,” Artemis said with renewed energy. He turned and headed into the dressing room.
Fletcher and I exchanged glances, then Fletcher moved to follow him. He turned back to me once he was off the bed, love and desperation in his eyes.
I only hesitated for a second before scooting to the edge of the bed and taking his hand when he offeredit. We walked into the dressing room together, Fletcher’s arm around me, guiding me.
Artemis had already sat in the chair and was leaning forward to fasten the restraints around his ankles.
“Strap me in completely,” he said. My body heated noticeably just watching him. “Secure me in every way. Make it so that I can’t move an inch.”
“Milking you again isn’t going to help,” Fletcher said as he brought me nearer to the chair.
Artemis shook his head. “Not to milk me.” He moved up to the buckles around his thighs but glanced at me as he worked. “Mount me,” he said.
I sucked in a breath, instantly understanding what he was suggesting.
“I don’t understand,” Fletcher said, frowning and radiating exhaustion.
Artemis looked at him, and while there was communication in his eyes, it was a moment before he said. “Gideon needs the real thing. The Heat Lightning device isn’t enough for him. He needs me inside him, needs all the hormones and skin-to-skin contact.”
“But he’s terrified of alphas,” Fletcher said. This time, he didn’t say the words like they were an explanation, but rather like he’d just put two and two together.
“I’ll be completely immobile,” Artemis said, lying back and fastening the strap just above his hip bone. “You can help Gideon climb onto me and impale himself on my cock. I’ll be completely unable to move. Gideon, you’ll have to do all the work yourself, but you’ll be safe knowing that there will be no possible way I can touch or grab you. My cock will be yours to use, and I’ll be able to knot you.”
I suddenly couldn’t catch my breath. It was the perfect solution. I could get everything I needed and I’d becompletely safe while getting it. No hands would grab me or hold me down. I doubted Artemis would spew foul words at me and call me a disgusting whore as the heat wave made me come over and over either.
“Gid?” Fletcher asked, turning to me with hope and worry in his eyes.
