Omega House Boxset Books 1-5: Alpha Omega Mpreg Romance

by Aria Grace

  Within a few seconds, I’m stable enough to lean forward and pull myself and Gunnar forward. He adjusts his stance and the weight he’s carrying so he can walk out of the water, practically carrying me with him as we land on the muddy rocks.

  As soon as we’re out of the most immediate danger, I turn to the man in his arms. “Is he breathing?”

  Gunnar lowers the man to the bank and turns his face toward us. The guy is coughing and his lips are almost white, but he’s alert and doesn’t seem to have any open wounds that we can see.

  “We need to warm him up.” Gunnar’s wide palm slides from the man’s forehead, down his cheek, and to the back of his neck. “He’s freezing.”

  “Let’s get him back to the ranger station.”

  Praying that my phone still works, I pull it out of my pants pocket and try to turn it on. As expected, it’s dead. It’s supposed to be waterproof for at least six feet, but today continues to be a cluster of things not going right. I just hope my bad luck doesn’t extend to this man having serious injuries or dying because I can’t take care of him the way he deserves.

  “Is it working?” Gunnar lifts the guy up against his chest, and the man wraps his arms around Gunnar’s neck, but his eyes are locked on mine.

  “Uh, no. I’ll call for an ambulance as soon as we get inside. That’s our first priority right now.”

  Gunnar starts walking back toward the bridge, completely bypassing his bike as he goes.

  I take a second to repack my bag and grab the bike with one hand as I follow behind the man. Normally, I would cross through the creek to get to the other side faster, but the water is just too high and flowing too fast right now to be safe. That means we have to go all the way to the bridge and cross over it, losing at least a few minutes of time that I’m not sure this man can spare.

  “We need to hurry,” I say to Gunnar with my eyes trained on the man who now appears to be unconscious.

  Gunnar takes off in a fast jog along the uneven rocks as I continue to run behind them.

  It only takes a few minutes to get back into the warm office. I lead them into the nurse’s station, and Gunnar reclines the young man on the examination table. Gunnar puts his fingertips to the man’s neck, looking for a pulse. “He’s turning blue.”

  “Take off his clothes.” I grab a solar blanket out of the cabinet and set it next to Gunnar. “I’ll be right back.”

  Gunnar is already pulling off the man’s boots when I step out to the front desk to call for help. Power has been restored, but the phone lines are busy, and I can’t get a call out. Worried that we don’t have much time to save this young man, I try my radio. “Ranger Station 1432 calling for immediate paramedic evac. Hiker found hypothermic. Does anybody copy?”

  “Copy that, 1432. We can have a rig out to you in thirty minutes.”

  “He doesn’t have thirty minutes. He’s unresponsive and turning blue.”

  “The road is blocked by a mudslide. We’ll have to come in on the fire access road. Thirty minutes is the soonest we can get there, and that’s assuming no other roads are blocked. Use your training, Ranger, and do what you can.”

  “Affirmative.” I toss the receiver on the ground and run back into the nurse’s station. Gunnar has the blanket tucked around with a man, but he doesn’t look any better than he did a few minutes ago.

  Gunnar pulls his fleece sweatshirt over his head and kicks off his riding shoes. “He needs body heat.”

  Gunnar

  The weight of Collin’s stare is heavy as I get undressed. Despite being in wet clothes too, my adrenaline is still high, and my body is warmed up from running with this man in my arms. I don’t feel any shame or regret as I step out of my boxers and climb onto the narrow examination table, hovering directly over the unconscious man I just pulled from the creek.

  With most of my body weight on my knees and elbows, I’m able to cover almost his entire body without crushing him. The slight man can’t weigh more than a hundred and fifty pounds, and my two-hundred-and-twenty-pound frame easily provides the skin-to-skin contact that might save his life.

  Based purely on his size, I have to assume the man is an omega. A very cute omega with blond hair matted across his forehead and blue eyes that match the color of his lips from when he watched me wade into the current to save him. I lower my forehead to his and blow my warm breath across his face. The last thing I ate was a banana, so I hope my breath isn’t too bad as I close my eyes and do everything I can to keep him alive.

  “I think that’s helping.” Collin slowly tucks the solar blanket around my thighs so our heat doesn’t escape. “He’s starting to get some color.”

  Turning my face so my cheek is on the man’s forehead, I look at Collin. His brown eyes are practically pleading with me to keep this kid alive. “He’ll be okay.”

  He holds my gaze a moment longer before shaking out of the trance he seems to be in. “Yeah, you’re doing gr-gr-great.”

  I smile, about to make a Tony the Tiger reference from the old cereal commercials, then I notice Collin is shivering too. “Shit, Ranger. You need to get into some dry clothes. You’re almost as blue as he was.”

  “What?” Collin looks down at his soaked clothes and seems to realize his own perilous state. “Oh, yeah. I guess.”

  His fingers are shaking, and he can’t grip the zipper of his jacket to get it open. I should have realized he’s going into shock sooner. He managed to keep his shit together long enough to get his charges to safety, but now that we’re warming up, his body is beginning to shut down.

  “Fuck, Collin.” I slide off the table and roll the man slightly in both directions, so he’s wrapped in the foil blanket like he’s a burrito, then rush to Collin’s side and start to tear his clothes off him. He’s still standing, but his eyes aren’t focused, and his lips are quivering in an unhealthy rhythm.

  As soon as he’s as naked as I am, I press him to my body and walk with him to the cabinets to find another solar blanket. There’s a stack of them in the first drawer I open, so I shake one open with one hand and throw it around Collin’s back. Once his backside is fully covered from head to toe, I back into the corner of the room and hold Collin’s body against mine, desperately trying to warm him up too.

  His body is shaking roughly against me, but he’s still standing on his own and his breath against my neck is warm and moist. After tucking the blanket behind my shoulders so it doesn’t fall to the ground, I slide my arms up and down Collin’s back, trying to disperse my heat across his cold torso as quickly as possible.

  Within minutes, his limp arms close around my back and his skin finally feels warm.

  With my palms on his hips, I steady his body as I pull back to look at him. “Feeling better?”

  The rosy color in his cheeks makes me smile as Collin nods to me. “Yes, thank you.”

  As if we both have the same thought at the same time, we turn to check on the omega on the table. His blue eyes are open and staring right at us in an almost hungry way.

  “How you doing over there?”

  The boy’s breath hitches, and he shakes his head as he realizes he’s been caught staring. “Good. Um, yeah, better. Thank you.”

  “No trouble.” I give Collin a slight squeeze. “I haven’t been naked with two men at once in a while.”

  The boy’s eyes get wide, and Collin’s cock pokes my thigh, reminding me that maybe now isn’t the right time for joking.

  “Are you okay on your own now?” I ask Collin.

  He releases my back and steps away, leaving a foot of space between us. The cold air stings as much as the distance seems to. “Yeah, thanks.”

  Collin quickly wraps the blanket around his front, hiding his half-hard dick and leaving me naked against the wall. I’ve never been the shy type, but I instinctively reach for my balls, shielding my growing erection with my arm while I pull out another solar blanket and wrap it around myself.

  The air in the room suddenly feels s
tuffy as we all watch each other in awkward silence. After a few minutes, I pull the stool near the computer over to the exam table and have a seat. “So, kid, what’s your name?”

  Collin slowly slides the visitor chair to my side and drops into it with a sigh, obviously glad to rest for a minute. An ordeal like that is exhausting, and I want nothing more than to curl up in my bed and sleep for the rest of the day. Although, having these guys pressed against my naked body wasn’t a bad reward for my workout this morning.

  “Sean Davis,” the boy says quietly. “I’m sorry for being so stupid.” His voice cracks and he screws his eyes shut, obviously holding back the emotion he’s feeling over everything that happened…and could have happened.

  “Hey, there.” Collin brushes the stray hairs off Sean’s forehead and smooths them down with his fingers. “Don’t be upset. We’re all okay.” He glances at me and winks. “Good thing Gunnar over here has a lot of hot air to warm up the both of us.”

  I take his cue and try to lighten the heavy mood. “I was hoping for a swim anyway. And like I said before, sharing body heat with a couple cute guys has never been a hardship for me.”

  Sean’s lids droop and his lips part as his eyes focus on my mouth. “Yeah?”

  I swallow hard, hoping my cock doesn’t poke out the opening of the blanket before our help arrives or I might not be able to stop myself from putting those plump lips to work. “Yeah.”

  “I’m Ranger Collin Rich.” Collin clears his throat and turns toward the open door. “And I think I just heard a car pull up. I’ll go check.”

  Sean

  I’m dead.

  It’s the only explanation.

  There’s no possible way this is happening in real life.

  Being stripped naked—on a narrow table with a gorgeous alpha pressing his body against me to keep me warm—was mind-blowing enough. But seeing two naked alphas pressed together in the corner, looking like they’re about to devour each other, is too much.

  This can’t be happening.

  The door opens, and two paramedics rush through. They come to me first, stopping at my side with a bag of equipment. When they assess that I’m not critical, one man moves over to the taller alpha in the room.

  Gunnar. That’s what the ranger said. And he looks like a Gunnar with light brown hair and eyes that look like emeralds. The female paramedic pokes and prods, asking ridiculous questions about my birthdate and what day of the week it is. I answer her on autopilot while keeping my eyes glued to the men who saved me. They’re talking to the male first responder, but the way they keep looking at me has my cock growing and my belly tingling.

  When the sheet below me is released from the foam pad I’m lying on and I almost roll off the table, my focus is finally pulled away from the guys. That’s when the reality of my situation hits me. This really is happening. “What are you doing?” I ask the man as he walks back to me and slides to me onto a rolling gurney. “Where are you taking me?”

  “We’re just going to take you to County Hospital for an evaluation. If everything checks out, they won’t keep you long.”

  “No, I can’t.” I turn to the men who saved me once, begging them to save me again. “Please don’t let them take me.”

  “Why not?” Collin steps to my side and reaches for my outstretched hand. “They just want to make sure you’re okay. We don’t know how long you were in that water, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

  The other alpha is quickly at my other side, resting his strong palm on my shoulder before sliding it up my neck and turning me to face him. When his fingers smooth down the hair matted across my forehead, my eyes close and I let out a deep sigh. “You’ll be fine, Sean. It’s just a precaution.”

  “I’ll drive myself.” I turn to the paramedic, hoping to convince him I’m trustworthy. “I swear, I’ll go to the nurse on campus, but I don’t have regular insurance to cover a hospital stay. My medical plan only covers the campus clinic.”

  The medic wraps the blood pressure cuff around my arm then tucks the solar blanket around me again to keep me warm. “County takes all patients. Don’t worry about payment.”

  I let out a deep breath, knowing I’m not going to win this argument. “Fine. But what about my stuff?” Then I remember the whole reason for my stupid adventure this morning, and my heart starts racing again. “My camera! Where’s my camera?” I look around the room, praying to see it waiting for me, but it’s nowhere around.

  Gunnar and Collin look at each other with the same desperation on their faces that I’m feeling. Collin gives my hand an apologetic squeeze. “We didn’t see a camera, Sean. I’m sorry.”

  I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I guess a career in photography wasn’t meant to be. I should be grateful I’m alive, but it doesn’t make me feel much better about failing out of the one class I truly love. The gurney I’m strapped to starts moving and my eyes instinctively open up, searching out the two men who saved me.

  “Thank you,” I whisper before they’re out of my line of sight. I’ll probably never see these men again, even though they shared the scariest and most erotic moments of my life with me and that makes me groan inside for a different reason.

  * * *

  As soon as I’m admitted to the hospital, a nurse lets me use a phone to call my brother. Seth is on a field trip to a pottery painting studio for one of the little girl’s birthday party today, so it’s the worst possible moment for me to land in the hospital. He almost cancels the party to rush back to see me, but after assuring him I’m fine and will be released in a few hours, he calms down and promises to send somebody with a change of clothes to pick me up.

  The nurse brings me a set of scrubs and some grippy socks to change into. They’re not as comfortable as my own clothes would be, but at least I’m not naked in a strange hospital anymore.

  An hour after being admitted, I finally get the all clear from a doctor who looks like he’s fifteen.

  Jason from Omega House peeks into my room with a paper bag full of clothes for me. “Am I interrupting anything?”

  “No, come on in.” I wave the omega to my side and he quickly gives me a hug.

  “God, Sean. What happened? When we heard you were in the hospital, everyone panicked.”

  I pull a hoodie out of the bag and slip it over my head. I still can’t quite warm up, even though my body temperature is perfectly normal. “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, as usual. But I’m totally fine. The doctor just said I can leave, so you have perfect timing.”

  “Do you want to change?” Jason nods toward the pants I’m still wearing.

  “Naw, I just want to get out of here.” I swap out the grippy socks for my regular socks and shoes before shoving the paperwork the doctor left with me into the bag of clothes and walking out of the room.

  “What about your stuff? You have your phone and everything?”

  I shake my head. “I lost it all. Even my camera. It probably got washed away in the creek.”

  Jason puts a hand on my shoulder, knowing how long it took me to save up enough money to buy that camera and how devastating it is to have lost it. “I’m so sorry, Sean. I know how much that meant to you.”

  I keep my eyes locked straight ahead as we walk down the sterile corridor. “It’s fine. I was chasing an unrealistic dream anyway. Now I have no reason to put off the inevitable.”

  “What’s the inevitable?” Jason hits the button on the wall to swing open the electric doors.

  “A real job. I can’t keep sponging off Omega House forever. It’s time for me to get my life together and move out.”

  Jason’s gait falters, but he quickly falls back in step beside me. “You’re moving out? Just like that?”

  “Well, not tomorrow. But without this project, I don’t have any chance of passing my program, so I would just be wasting time and money by trying to reapply next semester. At this point, it’s time to take responsibility for my life and grow up.”r />
  Jason is quiet for a few moments before he finally asks the question I should have known would be coming. “Do you think Seth will move out with you?”

  I smile but tilt my head, so Jason can’t see my face. He’s had a crush on my twin brother ever since he moved in to Omega House last year. Seth denies it, but I think he has a crush on Jason too. Unfortunately for both of them, Jason isn’t quite eighteen yet, so they still have some time before they can decide whether or not to explore anything.

  I put my hand on his shoulder this time and give him a squeeze. “I don’t know if he’s ready for that yet. But whether he moves out or not, you guys will always be close. He’s not leaving you even if he’s not living at Omega House anymore. Besides, he and I will both probably always work there in some capacity. I’m just getting to the point where I need to prove to myself that I’m not completely worthless.”

  Jason gives me a sharp look. “What are you talking about? Do you really think that you’re worthless?”

  Well, shit. Now he’s going to have me on suicide watch. “No, I don’t mean that. I just need to stand on my own two feet. My whole life, I’ve been relying on others to take care of me. I’ve got to prove I can take care of myself.”

  And that means finding a job with the real medical insurance so I can pay my bills when I get caught up in a flash flood. I glance over at the billing desk as I pass through the administrative wing and do a double take when I see Gunnar wearing a hoodie and basketball shorts with flip-flops at the billing desk.

  Gunnar

  I can feel this woman’s distrust and superiority because she believes I’m some loser off the street since the only clothes I had in my car are from my gym bag. She obviously thinks no civilized member of society would be out in a storm wearing shower shoes, but that doesn’t change the fact that my credit card works just fine regardless of what clothes I’m in at the moment.
