Will had never been able to knot anything. Not his hand, not a toy, not even another person. At first, heād put it down to inexperience. Perhaps alphas had to properly come into themselves before that happened.
But then he went to Boston College and dated a few omegas and betas alike, alas, nothing. It was embarrassing, hearing Leno jeering on about the amount of omegas heād fucked and knotted. So Will then put it down to a medical problem because surely a young and healthy alpha like himself should be able to knot without any problem. Having accepted that conclusion, Will pushed the entire issue down, focusing entirely on hockey and the NHL draft.
Fast forward to being in the Sharks, and the issue was too hard to ignore. It wasnāt only the embarrassment of his problem that was weighing down on Will, but also the pain. The base of his cock throbbed, a dull yet prominent pain. It was a constant: at practice, during games, and even worse, hanging out with Mack.
Heād tried over-the-counter medication to numb the pain. Completely useless. And Will had even tried massaging the base, tentative fingers, all soft and careful. It just made it worse.
And at first, he could ignore the agony. Will knew it was there, was too aware to forget, but once on the ice, it was easy to brush off. But as the months went by and the regular season progressed, it worsened. Significantly so that Will couldnāt even walk without a sharp shooting of pain encasing his dick.
Macklin had always been far too aware in terms of Will. Itās not like he knew of Willās problem - Will had never told Mack, or anyone, for that matter. But Mack was always able to pick up on any little shift in Willās behaviour. It was like an intuition of some sort, programmed solely to Will. And so when Will was hunched in on himself, writhing softly in pain, in a hotel room in the middle of fucking Florida of all places, it was no surprise when Mack soon padded over. Buttery-soft scent all burnt with worry.
Will hadnāt wanted to tell Mack. Really, he hadnāt. What sort of an alpha would admit to the prettiest omega that he was unable to knot? But well, the truth tumbled out, all slurred and shaky, eyes a little wet, āIcantknot.ā
āWhat was that?ā Mack breathed out in response, pretty face twisted in worry. His hand carded through Willās sweaty hair, body perched at the side of where Will lay.
Will shook his head in response, too humiliated to repeat the truth that had haunted him since heād first presented. So all he could say in response was, āHurts so bad.ā Which was the complete, and utter truth, if the continuous ache was anything to go by.
And Mack. Oh, sweet and loving Mack could only coo at that.
It took a while that night for Macklin to finally draw out a coherent sentence from Will, in which he managed to explain the whole knotting situation. But when he had, Mack didnāt even really speak. Didnāt tell Will how it wasnāt normal, or how he was lesser-than, like Will had expected.
No. Instead, Mackās eyes were all tormented with worry as he shoved his shorts and panties off, steady hands pulling Willās own pants down, too. Momentarily, Will was stunned, having never thought that Mack would even consider him as more than a friend. But once the shock wore off, Will wanted to tell him that it was no use. No matter what, he wouldnāt be able to knot. And hell, the thought of not being able to knot Macklin made the whole situation seem far worse.
But Mack just pressed a little plush peck to his lips, the first kiss theyād shared. ā āM gonna make the pain go away, Willy,ā Mack whispered before his sopping cunt encased itself around Willās cock in a single, fluid movement.
The raw sensation was like no other. Mackās pussy was just all wet and soft, the insides silky. It felt like he was made especially for Will. Just as Mack was propping himself up on Willās lap, readying himself to start riding, Willās knot grew. It was so sudden, and it caught both Mack and Will off-guard. Heād never knotted, and yet, just being inside of Mack, no movement or nothing, was enough.
Will groaned, in relief and in pleasure, head thrown back. His cock spurted, ribbons of come painting the inside of Mack, sort of like a branding. Macklin smiled, a satisfied little thing before he cantered his hips, his pussy grinding itself around Willās knot. It wasnāt long before Mack, too, was coming. His hole twitching around Willās knot as he moaned, all high and needy.
It was safe to say that Will could knot. He wasnāt medically troubled, or shy, or anything. It was Mack. The entire time, his body had been saving itself for Macklin.
