She had the men help her move then so that Ryan was seated with his back against a nearby tree and she was resting with her back against his chest. In the back of her heavily clouded mind, she remembered that a similar position had seemed to help Luna Amara immensely with her pushes. So, when her next contraction began to pulse and throb, she placed her ankles behind Ryan's long, outstretched legs and she allowed herself to curl into her pushing.
Ryan rubbed slowly up and down her arms, offering her gentle encouragement. His voice grounded her, his warm, silky smooth almost-baritone exactly what she needed to hear.
Kneeling before her, Chris continued to rub at her folds with the now warm oil, massaging her body so softly that she never once flinched from his touch. How he could be so gentle when he had been so harsh once upon a time, she did not know. But now he was watching her closely for a reaction, careful not to disturb her breathing or pushing.
When she was able to collect her breath, she heaved a sigh and fell back against Ryan's sturdy chest. The pain had definitely increased a hundred-fold, and she was doing her best to manage it without screaming and flailing about; though she really and truly wanted to scream and flail.
Reading her thoughts, Ryan sighed. "If you need to scream, then you scream, baby. We don't mind. If it helps you, if it puts your energy where it needs to be, then go for it."
She accepted his advice with a resigned sigh, then glanced toward the curious Alpha. "Will you check me, please? Can you see him yet?"
The Alpha inched closer and used two fingers to spread her swollen folds. At first glance, he would have said that there were absolutely no signs of the pup yet, and then he realized that there was a small black spot that had to be the pup. That had to be the pup, right? He wrinkled his nose in curiosity, then glanced up to Rain with a grin. "He's coming!"
Rain grinned. "Oh, thank fuck!"
The Alpha returned to massaging her slowly, working small circles against her body as her mate spoke softly into her right ear. "It's okay, baby, we know that you're in pain." He paused and placed a gentle kiss to her cheek. "If your body wants to howl, then howl! You're not going to scare us off."
"He's right," the Alpha nodded in agreement. "If it helps you, then you should do it."
When the next contraction hit like a tsunami of pain, Rain felt herself pushing with all her might as she let out a blood-curdling scream. She couldn't see her mate's reaction, but the Alpha had definitely paled a bit. She wanted to laugh, but there was no extra breath to spare. Plus, the pain was becoming unbearable. Her back felt like her bones had broken, her vagina felt like it was tearing open, and pretty much everything else was hurting her, as well. Growing irritated, she tried to shuffle away from Ryan and stand up, only to almost fall back down.
Chris caught her, steadied her, then grinned. "Where do you think you're going, little one?"
"I want to lean on the tree," she directed him.
