“Fuck,” I groan.

“Yeah, fuck is right.” Phoenix’s cheeky voice crackles through the speakers in my helmet.

“I don’t think… this is just a heat spike,” Seb says. He skirts his scooter a little closer to Madi and Caspian and shakes his head. “I could smell her during her last heat spikes, but this… this is a lot stronger.”

I suspected it as well, but his confirmation has me suddenly aware of how bad this really is. She’s about to go into a full heat in the middle of the ocean, on a ship full of unmated men. Fuck, no.

“Evacuate the ship,” I demand. The thought of so many other people being in such close proximity to my omega when she’s in heat has my blood boiling.

Phoenix laughs until he looks over at my face and sees I’m deadly serious. His scooter slows his ascent for a moment.

Caspian says nothing. I’m not sure he can even hear us. He’s completely focused on getting our mate to the surface. She’s clawing at him now, wrapping her legs around his waist and grinding against his abs. She’s lost the breather in lieu of sipping her breaths straight from our merman’s lips.

Seb is equally quiet, watching Madi for a minute before he breaks the silence. “We’ll sail back to the Trennach archipelago. It’s less than a day’s journey.”

“Shit, yes.” I should have thought of that. “There are rental houses on some of the islands. Our friends got one for their bonding. But they’ll be expensive this last minute.”

“Not a problem.” Sebastian speeds up, breaking the surface of the water just ahead of the rest of us.

I crest a second later with Caspian, Madi and Phoenix just behind me. The ship is still far off, but we can see it now, and we can breathe. I take off my helmet so I can talk to Madi, letting it hang at my side as I position my scooter right next to her and Caspian.

“Madi, sweetheart.” I brush a hand down her arm. She shivers, but doesn’t respond.

“I think she’s in heat,” Caspian says. “A true heat.”

“Yeah, we know.” I touch her forehead, but she grabs my arm and pulls my wrist to her nose before nuzzling against my skin.

Seb is the only one still wearing his helmet, and it’s clear he’s talking to someone. Hopefully letting the captain know where we are in relation to the ship and making arrangements for them to come and get us.

Madi lets out a needy little moan that makes me desperate to touch her. I cup her cheek and kiss her, feeling Caspian’s breath tickling my ear as I do. The way he’s moving makes it clear Madi’s riding his tail under the surface of the water. Is it just his tail she’s riding or more? My body strains as I remember the brief glimpse I had of his cock in his merman form.

Madi reaches back, trying to get at the zipper on her suit. “Off!” The command is wild and raw.

I glance at the ship. They’re still too far off to see anything, and I know she has her bikini on underneath. I unzip it for her, and Caspian helps peel it from her skin before letting it drift away, the empty fabric sinking to the depths of whence we came.

A second later, Madi is crying out with pleasure, and I have no doubt Caspian is filling her up, giving her exactly what she needs.

“Does our merman’s cock feel good, baby?” I whisper against her lips, palming the back of her head. “Do all those ridges make you want to scream for us?”

Phoenix moves his scooter closer, hemming Caspian and Madi in on the other side.

“Damn, I’m jealous right now,” he says with a chuckle. “Just not sure which of you I’m more jealous of. Caspian for getting to feel that perfect pussy. Or Madi for getting to take that monster cock.”

“You want my cock, alpha?” Caspian gives Nix a coy smile as he undulates his hips underwater.

“Hell yeah, I do.” Nix kisses Caspian, and I kiss Madi as we all float at the surface of the waves.

Seb’s scooter powers up, and I pull back to see him maneuvering to the other side of Phoenix, but he doesn’t get too close. He seems content to watch again. I never thought I’d be into having an audience, but whenever Seb watches, it's like a dial gets turned up on my arousal.

“The ship will be here soon,” Seb says to no one in particular after taking off his helmet. I’m unsure if it’s a warning or an encouragement.

“Better make our omega come fast, then.” Phoenix smiles at Madi before stealing her lips from me.

“Don’t knot her,” I command.

The look Caspian throws at me is a mix between annoyance and endearing amusement. “Yes, sir.”

Fuck me. I wrap his long hair around my hand and pull his head back hard. “Say it again.”
