He finished the glass of water and shooed Dane off, handing it to Levi in order to lay the blankets equally across the couch and around his shoulders until it seemed right. He knew the fussing was an omega thing, but it was one trait he'd never been able to curb.
When his omega required solace, he had no choice but to comply, and he was still greatly disturbed from earlier. Elias would have to check his lymph nodes and monitor himself for the next week, possibly extending beyond that.
"Let's watch an action movie," Levi suggested, taking a seat beside him.
Ian sat down on Levi's other side, squishing the four of them onto the three-person couch. It was so tight he knew their shoulders must be uncomfortable. Elias had a fix in mind, but was uncertain about the execution.
"I second that," he replied, standing up anew.
Ian protested until Elias shot him a scathing glare, telling him not to push his luck. The alpha heeded the request with a soft huff, glancing away and crossing his tattooed arms over his chest.
"Scoot closer to Levi," he ordered Dane, gesturing.
Dane did as he was told, then Elias crawled across all three of their laps, blankets and all. This way, their scent would permeate the fabric and he'd be touching every single one of his pack members. His head ended up on Dane's lap with his feet on Ian's.
"Give me a pillow," he requested, and Dane helped situate it to support his neck. "Ah, there we go. Is this alright?"
He was glancing between them when they nodded in sync, making Elias grin.
"What kind of action movie do you want to watch? Are there any new ones out?" Ian asked, clicking into the streaming service they used.
"I don't know or care, you pick," Elias replied, bringing his arms up to hug the pillow against his face while burrowing deeper into the blankets.
The alphas chose a popular action thriller, and they settled in to watch. Dane hesitantly put his hand to Elias' curls, brushing them back from his forehead with care. He leaned into the touch to let his alpha know it was okay, humming.
The movie was pretty interesting. It followed a man who discovered illegal dealings within his company, and based on his sense of justice, leaked them to the public. He initiated his escape right after, skillfully avoiding attempts on his life as he fled. About halfway through, Elias' eyes grew heavy, falling closed with every other blink.
Dane never stopped playing with his hair, and at some point, Ian started rubbing his feet. Levi sat calmly in the middle of them, hands resting innocently atop the blankets. With the three of them here, Elias had anticipated sensing a charged tension. Some kind of testosterone-filled battle of wills about who was the better alpha.
None of that happened, not even close.
This was the complete opposite. They were coming together to take care of him, and it felt… nice. Really nice. The only thing that still concerned him was the potential for intimacy with all three of them together.Not to say he wasn't curious. The worry stemmed from his diagnosis. Was it possible for him to handle three sets of alpha pheromones in the same room? Would it push him over the edge and force him to lose all control?
Those thoughts kept him from falling asleep, and he clutched the pillow closer. He wasn't even watching the movie anymore and was glad to be wrapped in blankets. It concealed the raging hard-on twitching in his boxers. He adjusted himself, wriggling, but it only made it worse.
Shit.
His stomach started burning with every little movement, making Elias bite his lip. Dane's hand stilled for a minute, and he wouldn't be surprised if his alpha had been watching him and purposely ignoring the movie.
Elias longed for the sensation of being embarrassed. Instead, he expectantly arched his neck. Dane paused, taking a deep breath, before gently running his fingers down the slope of it. Elias closed his eyes, goosebumps rising on his arms.
"Don't like the movie, hm?" Dane asked. "Or are you too busy thinking of something else?"
Elias shivered. "So I'm getting a little excited lying across three hot alphas who spoil me—don't judge."
Dane laughed softly while gently gripping Elias' neck in his palm.
Am I into that sort of thing?
Dane squeezed, and it made his eyelids flutter as a gasp escaped his lips.
I guess I am.
Another hand ran up the curve of his waist. Levi. With a quick lick of his lips, Elias opened his eyes and gazed down his nose at him. It was pure defiance in a sea of submission, and Elias got a rush. Levi locked onto him, dark eyes half-lidded and full of reverence.
Was anyone watching the damn movie?
Elias twisted his toes together… but they touched something hard. Oh, god. He stopped immediately, yet the damage was done. Ian had a boner. Did that enhance or diminish Elias' sentiments about keeping his own arousal hidden throughout the entire duration?
