I simply never want this moment to end.
“I’m okay with your plan to pleasure me in the nest,” I tell Grey.
He smiles against my lips. “Then you’re already learning.” He kisses me softly. “You’re incredible, Ashlyn. And this…” He moves his hips against mine. “I think I’ll just… live here. For eternity.”
I laugh.
Then I overhear an inkling ofwhyfrom his mind.
It’s… it’s a strand of knowledge that warms the bond forming between us mentally.
A strand of knowledge that has my eyes widening. “You’ve never knotted anyone before?”
His icy eyes stare down at me as he responds, “No, Ashlyn. I waited for my mate. Foryou.”
I blink up at him, astounded. And also… alsotouched.
My vision blurs. “Wow,” I breathe, unsure of what else to say or how to express what I’m feeling.
I waited for him because I knew of his existence and being with anyone else felt wrong.
But for him to also wait for me?
I shiver. “I can’t believe you haven’t knotted an Omega before.”
“I’ve also never kissed anyone before,” he says, his nose touching mine. “Only you. And only ever you, too.”
My lips part. “I never would have guessed that,” I admit, thinking about how well he dominated my mouth.
Granted, I don’t have any experience to compare it to.
But I’m rather certain his skill is superior.
He chuckles and kisses me again, his mind sharing all sorts of curious revelations. I can’t hear him clearly, just pick up on ribbons of thought.
Strange. I expected to be able to hear him clearly. Totalkto him.
Maybe that part of the connection comes later for Z-Clan wolves? I’m not quite sure. But as his knot begins to subside, I’m suddenly more consumed by the notion of us doing this all over again.
It seems Grey is on the same page because he deepens our kiss and his cock is still hard. When his hands start to roam over me, I know we’re going to play again.
And I practically melt into him.
Because yes,theseare the memories I crave. The memories Ineed.
We may have rewritten the future.
And everything might change from horrific to something unfathomably worse.
But at least I’ll know it was worth it.
Because now I’ll go to my grave knowing that I truly lived.
That I experienced a mate-bond.
That for a moment in time, I had an Alpha that cared for me properly.
Thank you, Alpha,I mentally whisper to him, aware that he can’t hear me, but needing to say it anyway.Thank you.
