(Niall)

It was only four o'clock in the evening, but I had to leave work early.

I was dragging because of the lack of sleep that I got last night.

I carried Gwen's and my takeout to my car.
I was so hungry and our Chicken Marsala smelled delicious.

A million things were happening at work, so I literally had zero time to eat, much less think about what happened last night.

Gwen
Theo
Fuck I need to call Cullen
No
No, right now I just need to focus on what to say to Gwen when I get home
Fuck
What WAS I going to say

I pulled up to the gate of my driveway and right away saw that Gwen's car was gone.

I grabbed my phone and called her.
No answer.

I called it again.
Nothing.

A bad feeling rose up in my stomach.
I called Liam.

I knew he was at the hospital, so I squeezed my eyes shut and whispered to myself.
"Answer, Liam...answer, answer..."

He picked up after the second ring.
"Yo", I heard his voice and I sighed thankfully.

"What's Theo's last name? Where does he live?", I said quickly, not wasting any time.

"Uh...James. Theo James. Why do-", he answered me, confused.

"Do you know where he lives?", I repeated, interrupting him.

Ten minutes later and after promising Liam I'd call him soon to explain, I arrived at the address he gave me.

Sure enough, there was Gwen's Lexus.

I parked behind it in front of a large stone house. I ran up to it, hit the doorbell a few times and banged on the door with my fist.

(Gwen)

Theo growled into the pillow next to my head.
For the fourth time, he fell onto my naked body after coming into me.

We breathed hard in the silent room and after riding out my euphoria, I noticed the "itch" was already building inside me again.
It was happening faster and sooner than before and making me more nervous.

"Theo...", I started to tell him about it, but then a doorbell rang, followed by loud pounding.

I watched Theo pull his boxers back on and I sat up in his bed.

"It's okay. Just relax. I'll talk to him", Theo said, steadying his breathing, both of us knowing only Niall would be beating at the door like that.

Theo closed the door to his bedroom and I sat there with worry, dread and fear.

My panic worsened when I felt my wet muscles begin to contract again.

Each time it started up, Theo was on top of me, satisfying the urge I kept getting, but not this time.

Fuck
SHIT

The pulsing was actually starting to get stronger and it was kind of beginning to hurt. Not the kind of hurt that was pain exactly, but like an ache that needed some kind of extreme pressure.

I hated it.
I started to cry and worry because it was getting worse.
My crying led to full blown sobbing.
I had no control over my body and it was a frightening realization.

And now here's Niall, angry and probably worried half to death.

UH and this morning
Touching myself next to him
What is happening to me
My life has changed literally overnight
Is this going to happen all the time now
HOW am I going to live

My tension increased the spasm of my muscles and I tried to focus, but the more I did the worse it got.

I heard Niall yell something and then his voice grew louder as he was getting closer to the room.

I can't handle this
I don't want him to see me like this

Again

I pushed myself off of the bed and grabbed a t-shirt off a dresser. Silently, I made my way to the door and locked it.

I could hear Niall's voice close by, "Gwen?!"

Seconds later, the metal doorknob clicked against the hard lock.

"Gwen", he said as he lightly knocked on the door.

I spun around and looked around the room, not knowing what I was looking for.

Gwen, unlock the door", I heard Theo say.

The spasms I had been trying to ignore got stronger.

Tears rolled down my face as I slid down a wall onto the hardwood floor.

"Gwen, open the door, please", I listened to Niall calmly say, trying and failing to mask the anxiety in his voice.

A strong throb clenched through me and a loud sob escaped my mouth.

"Gwen?! Are you okay?", Theo asked loudly against the door.

I emitted more sobs, trying to muffle them, embarrassed, feeling the powerful convulsing again, right there on the floor, with zero authority over it.

I sounded out of control.
I was.
A stranger would've thought I was being tortured if they heard me.

"Gwen?!", Theo now yelled and pounded on the door.
"Open the door!"

I heard Niall raise his voice, but I couldn't understand anything they said over the noise of my cries.

(Niall)

I listened to Gwen cry on the other side of the door and Theo banged on it, shouting at her to open it.

"Don't yell at her", I pulled him away.

"I'm worried", Theo looked at me, wide eyed.

"Kick it in or I will", I looked at him and to the door.

"That door is solid oak", he scoffed, but with a look of desperation.
"I'll be right back", Theo ran off and I walked closer to the door.

"Gwen? Love, you'd be saving us a lot of trouble if you'd just unlock the door. Please don't be scared. I'm not mad", I lied.

"Go....away, please, Niall. Please stay away from me.....I'm....I'm not..... there's something wrong with me", she choked out in-between her cries.

I turned my head to the side and leaned closer, putting my hand on the door.

"Gwen? What do you mean there's something wrong with you? What's happening?", I said quickly.

Theo was back with a screw driver and immediately began to work on the hinges. Once he got the door unhinged, he pulled it.

"Help me", he grunted and I grabbed onto the door and we moved it aside.

Gwen laid on the floor, curled up into a ball, hugging her thighs.

I ran over to her, leaving Theo to lean the door against the wall by himself.

Before I could touch her, she held out one of her hands.
"No!!", she yelled and it stopped me.

"Th....Th....", she panted and looked over at Theo, her body shaking a little. He ran over to her, quickly sat down and pulled her onto his lap.

I watched with my mouth parted in confusion, hurt, anger and fear.
"WHAT is going on", I yelled at Theo and walked over to them and kneeled down.

Gwen looked up at Theo.
"It's...starting to hurt....I can't stop", she cried, squeezing her legs together and buried her face in his chest out of what looked like embarrassment.

"What the....WHAT hurts?! What did you DO?!", I shouted, making Gwen jump and Theo look at me.

"Niall, she's okay, I'll explain everything after we take care of her. Okay?", he said, calmly.

I looked at Gwen, shuddering in Theo's arms and nodded my head.

"Is Liam at the hospital today?, he asked.
"Yeah, I'll drive", I said, beginning to stand to drive Gwen to the hospital, but Theo held his arm out to stop me.

"She doesn't need to go to the hospital, Liam needs to bring her some things from the hospital", he said and I got out my phone.
Liam answered on the fifth ring.

"Niall, hey. So what's going on?", he asked, but I ignored his questions for now.

"Liam, please don't ask any questions and listen", I said, looking down at Gwen.

"O....kay...", he responded, then Theo gestured for my phone and I handed it to him.

"Liam. This is Theo. I need you to bring a week's supply of both Clonopin and Tramadol", he said and paused to listen to whatever Liam was saying.

After a couple of seconds, he spoke into the phone, "Point five for the benzo. The Tramadol....", he looked down at Gwen, "....fifty milligrams", he finished.

They ended the call and Theo handed my phone back.

"Niall, would you go into my bathroom and look through the cabinets to the left of the sinks. Somewhere in there is a small silver tube that looks like toothpaste, but it's Lidocaine cream. Please bring it to me", he instructed.

His bathroom cabinets were extremely organized, but had more products than any man I'd ever seen.

I went through his shelves not finding anything like he described, talking to myself, mumbling through the things I saw.

"Conditioner...aftershave...cologne...
...cologne...razors....mouthwash...
cologne...qtips...combs...moisturizer... EllaOne...", I stopped when I noticed the words emergency contraception on the box.
I read the rest.

Take one tablet as soon as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure

My mind flashed back to seeing Theo and Gwen in the pool house last night.

I shook my head, freeing myself from the image and concentrated on helping Gwen.

It took me a couple of minutes, but I finally found the small tube that Theo described.

"Gwen?", Theo said as he shifted them both and angled her body to where the top of her head faced me.
"Hold out your hand".

She did as he told her and squeezed some of the cream out onto her index finger.

(Gwen)

Theo put cream on my finger and I looked at him, as more hard tightening clenched my core.

"Spread this on yourself and up inside of you", he whispered so Niall couldn't hear him. His eyes looked down at the aching spot between my legs.

All I cared about was stopping this, now painfully uncontrollable, cycle of raw erotica that was debilitating me.
I quickly reached down in between my legs and did what he told me.

"Okay, what the FUCK?!", Niall jerked himself around, looking away and clasped his hands on the top of his head.

Just then, we heard the front door open.
"Theo? Niall?", Liam shouted and Niall called him to where we were.

Gwen soon seemed physically calmer, not shaking as much, but still very tense.
Theo and I watched her slowly get into a sitting position and awkwardly pull the t-shirt down.

"Hey", Liam walked into the room.
"Okay, someone tell me what's going on", he more demanded than asked.

"Alright. Let's let Gwen lie down for a while", I said, indicating that the three of us leave.
I wanted to talk to Theo away from Gwen.

Minutes later Liam, Theo and I were in Theo's kitchen.
Theo wasted no time.

"Gwen has ReGS. She applied Lidocaine not too long ago and it's helping ", Theo looked at Liam.

Liam's face went blank, his eyes went to the floor and widened, then back up to Theo.
"Wait, why is she here? How do you-"

"Okay, one of you tell me what the fuck is going on with her", I raised my hand toward both of them.

"Restless Genital Syndrome or Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder or Weiss Disease, there are a few different names, is a condition that both male and females can ex-", Theo began to explain, but I interrupted him.

"Just tell me what is happening!", I yelled at Liam, now.

"Gwen...can't control her...body", Liam said, looking awkward.

"Okay...so she's...", I was searching for the right word, but Liam finished my sentence.

"...uncontrollably horny, can't help it and can't stop orgasming", Liam said, pressing his lips into a flat line.

I looked from Liam to Theo.
They both looked at me seriously, Liam with his eyebrows raised.

"Are you seri...is that an actual thing? Like medically a real condition people have? I've never heard of this".

"It's extremely rare", Theo said.
"I've never treated a patient for this", he looked at Liam.

"I've had two. One was seven years old, the other patient was in her thirties".

"It's a genital sensory abnormality", Theo added.

"In medical reports of women who have it, their vagina, labia, clitoris, pubic bone and sometimes the area near the...anyway, they get tingling sensations, like waves of pulsing around the cli-"

"STOP. Just...", I turned around, but quickly turned back to look at Theo.
"What causes it to happen?", I asked Liam.

"Anything. Nothing. One day while riding in a car. Sitting down. Walking, exercisi-", Liam went on and I interrupted him again.

"The first time being touched there?",
I said, Liam noticing my glare at Theo.

"Yeah...", Liam looked from me to Theo.
"Why are..."

Liam trailed off, the pieces of the puzzle coming together.
He looked at me.
He looked at Theo.

"Gwen? You and Gwen?!", Liam raised his voice and walked around the kitchen island toward Theo.

Gwen screamed Theo's name from across the house and the three of us froze.

Theo immediately pushed roughly past Liam and ran to Gwen, Liam and I on his heels.

Gwen was crying on the bed.
"The...pulling. It's too...deep....and I...can't reach...", she sobbed to Theo.

Theo sat next to her as Liam ran out of the room and came back with a prescription bottle and some water.

"Take this, Gwen", he said, shaking a pill out into his hand.

"That's a benzo, Liam. That's the last resort", Theo grabbed his wrist, stopping him from dropping the pill into Gwen's hand.

"If the Lidocaine hasn't stopped the spasms...", Liam pulled against Theo's grip, but Theo held him.

"The cream is helping, she just can't...reach deep enough...her fingers are too short", Theo explained in almost a whisper to Liam.

Gwen made a small whimper and her face turned bright red as she covered it with her shaky hands.

"Liam? What?", I looked at him.

"She needs this cream deeper inside to numb the nerves", He said like she was a patient.

I watched Theo reach over and grab the tube of cream.

"Don't even fucking THINK about it", I took a step toward him, then looked over at Liam.
"You do it".

Liam's concerned expression disappeared and it became a look of shock.
"Niall, I-"

"I'm NOT letting this mother fucker touch her again! She was drunk as hell last night and he took her virginity, Liam!!", I yelled through clenched teeth.

Gwen started to sob again, making her body shake. Her shout was cloaked through her hands.
"Please stop!", she cried.

"Liam", I looked at him, locking his eyes.
"You're a doctor. Help her".

Theo's nostrils flared and looked at Liam, waiting for his reaction.

Liam took in a deep breath and looked down at Gwen.
"Give me the cream".
