Couldn't Al smell how upset the prospect of losing him made Edmund? What he wanted was written all over his body. The wrap of Al's flesh around him was as much pang as comfort, for it wasn't his at all. Al was doing exactly for him what he had done for other omegas in need. Providing a service. And in the morning, or whenever the heat had abated at all, he'd be gone.
Edmund buttoned himself back up and set his jaw. "No." The physical release would be hollow and joyless now. He didn't want it. His body ached, but he could bear it. Even if he didn't sleep at all tonight.
He curled back against Al, an arm around his side, and closed his eyes. No, he would not sleep. His voice was thick with disappointment and frustrated need. "If you - don't mind staying anyways. It does help." The touches alleviated the worst of it. And the rest - well, he'd had worse pain.
