With my head tipped back against the wall, and eyes closed, I shut out everything except this incredible feeling blooming inside me.
Something is happening to me.
Something amazing.
Torin releases a deep groan with every twist of his hips that sends his cock up and into my body. I move with him, finding his rhythm, and then matching it. My breath catches as a new desperation takes over. I work my hips against his faster. Then harder.
My eyes fly open, meeting Torin’s heated gaze.
“Torin,” I whimper. I’m hovering on the edge of an unknown chasm, and I’m desperate to fall. “Torin.”
He slides one hand between us, skimming along the inside of my bare thigh. His fingers delve under my panties, and his thumb…
“Oh my gosh,” I wiggle and buck as his thumb dances over my clit. “Oh my gosh, I can’t… I can’t…”
A wave of pleasure crashes over me, pulling me under. I open my mouth to scream as Torin’s lips slam onto mine, muffling the sound as I climax around him.
As my body relaxes, he starts moving again, hard, desperate thrusts that force me up the wall. I grip the back of his suit jacket, nails clawing at the material. With my ankles locked around his lower back, my body burns all over again. Every swivel of his hips prompts another whimper and a moan, and I cling to him, holding on as he picks up the pace, pounding into me.
Once.
Twice.
He crushes me against his chest and holds me tight as his cock jerks inside me, a groan rumbling from his throat. The sound vibrates against my neck, and something about it—almost a purr but not quite—comforts and makes me burrow closer.
Long minutes pass as we struggle to catch our breath. His cock stops filling me with heat and begins to soften inside me. I lift my head from where I was resting it against the top of his head, and he lifts his from the side of my neck.
His kiss is tender. “Are you okay?” There’s a relaxed, satisfied huskiness in his voice that makes me think of lazy mornings spent in bed with our arms and legs tangled together. I want that so badly.
“You didn’t knot me,” I whisper, unsure if I should be angry or disappointed.
He kisses my neck, and my body tightens around him, drawing a groan from him. “When I knot you, it won’t be against a wall in the middle of a party. You’re going to be on silk sheets, and I won’t pull out of you all night.”
“All night?” I ask with a grin as I loop my arms around the back of his shoulders. “I think I like the sound of that.”
“Ilike the thought of taking my mate home and giving her everything she wants.” He’s smiling as his lips touch mine when the sound of approaching footsteps penetrates my happy bubble. These steps are familiar, determined, and a little terrifying.
Ms. Arkwright is the head of Haven Academy. If she’s marching this way, she’s looking for something, and the only omega missing from the ballroom is me.
“I have to go,” I whisper urgently as I lower my feet to the floor and prepare to leave. When he pulls out of me, it’s the sweetest ache. It feels so good that I struggle to remember why I have to go. I have no idea how long I’ve been gone, but it was only a matter of time before someone came searching for me.
Torin clings to me. “Stay. She won’t see us in here.”
I shake my head. “Ms. Arkwright will search every room until she finds me.”
I swear I can already hear doors along this hallway snick open and shut again. It sounds like she’s looking in every room on her way to the library.
A deep crease appears between his brows, but his grip on me never loosens. “I’ll come with you.”
I press my palms flat on his chest. “They’ll guess what we’ve been up to if we appear together, and they’ll throw you out. I have to go alone. Meeting on the dance floor is fine. This… this is not fine. They will never accept us.”
He gives me a long, unhappy look. I’m not happy about this either. It feels like I’m leaving part of my soul behind. But when he releases a frustrated sigh and kisses me, I realize I’ve persuaded him.
“Then go. For now.”
Blushing as I straighten my twisted panties as best as I can, I turn to leave. “I’ll look for you.”
He pulls me back, kissing me hard and deep. “I’ll find you. Stamp on every toe until I do.”
