“I love that memory.” She presses her lips to my ear. “I love the joy you felt, the absolute happiness that’s frozen in time like a crystal that no one can ever touch or break or change. Just a perfect moment with you and the woman who loved you more than anything else in the universe. It was so beautiful. Just like you. Just like her.”
“I remember,” I whisper.
She links her hand with mine, our fingers weaving together. “When I saw that memory, I knew I loved you.”
I turn to face her, our lips almost touching. “The more I think about it, the more I realize I loved you from that very first moment.”
“On earth?” She pulls her hand free and rests it on my cheek.
“When you were covered in muck and fighting. Even though that brute was twice your size and fueled by hate, you werestillfighting.”
“It’s what we do.” She rubs the tip of her nose against mine.
“That’s when I loved you. Everything after that was inevitable.”
“Inevitable.” She nods slightly, her eyes sparkling in the dark. Shimmering in a way only a shadow can see, the night lies on her like the brushstroke of a master.
I claim her lips, tasting her fully, my tongue sweeping against hers as I pull her on top of me. Her hands go to my hair, her fingers pulling the short strands. Her mouth is warm and sweet, her mating scent already perfuming the air. When she spreads her thighs and straddles me, I groan against her lips.
Ceredes and Kyte are awake, but they don’t close in.
“Enjoy it. We’re with you.” I can hear them both whispering, not a blade of jealousy in the words, just understanding.
“Thank you,brothers.” Gripping her ass, I pull her tight against me, my cock aching to be inside her. She answers by gripping the hem of her shirt and stripping it away, then returning to my mouth. Her soft breasts press against my chest, and my mind completely shuts off.
“I want you.” Her words in my mind are like fireworks, and when she breaks our kiss to run her tongue along the ink at my throat, I tangle my fingers in her hair. Her teeth graze me, and a growl rips from my chest when she sucks one of my nipples into her hot mouth.
Easing down my body, she kisses my stomach, each touch of her mouth leaving a scorching trail of desire. When she reaches my boxer briefs, she slides them off and tosses them to the floor. I’m so hard that I’m afraid if she just breathes on my cock, I’ll come.
“I’ve never done this.” She strokes along my shaft, then runs her small palm to my knot. “Wow.”
I grip the sheets so hard they rip in my palms.
“Easy, tiger.” She runs her thumb along the aching flesh beneath my cock, the skin so sensitive that each contact sends goosebumps shooting across my body. When her breath tickles my shaft, I grit my teeth. And when her lips touch my head? I think I may levitate off the mattress.
“You okay?” she whispers.
“Don’t stop,” I groan.
She licks my entire length. “Hm.” She does it again, and I swear something inside me will break irrevocably if she dares stop. “Am I doing it right?”
Kyte slides over, one of his hands on Lana’s back, his green eyes on her. “You’re doing fine.”
She doesn’t seem the least bit surprised, not even when Ceredes leans over and grips her hair.
“Like this,” he grates and eases her down my shaft, her wet mouth sliding around me as I try to breathe, try to function.
“Perfect,” Kyte purrs and kisses down her spine as she takes me as far into her mouth as she can.
Ceredes keeps the pressure on her, forcing her to take me deeper until she almost gags, then lets up.
I reach up and grip the headboard, the wood groaning beneath the vise of my hands as Ceredes guides her down again, the scent of her slick so delicious that I wish I could bury my face between her thighs. But I won’t move, won’t do anything to stop her, not when she’s bobbing her head on my cock, my knot drawn up so tight that every bit of touch ricochets through me.
Kyte moves to the foot of the bed and lifts her. His head between my calves, he spreads her wide and licks her slick as she moans around my shaft. Ceredes reaches into his briefs and pulls himself free as he keeps one hand on her head, guiding her and controlling her rhythm.
Golden sparks flitter around us, the bond roaring and linking us, each bit of our pleasure shared as our circle is energized with pure need.
I can’t stay still anymore, can’t do anything except give in to my Omega. She criss-crosses her tongue along my length, her body quivering as Kyte sucks and licks between her thighs.
