“Would you believe me if I told you I spent two years with a pack who never saw me and I’m only now realizing it? Don’t get me wrong, you’re right, the Sørensen pack is spoken for, but there are good packs out there. Ones who care about you being in the city alone, ones that won’t make you feel like you’re walking on eggshells in your shared home. Just…know your worth.”
“What if I don’t know my worth?” she whispers.
“Then find it,” I reply softly as she wipes her tears and I cruise my way over to the checkout counter.
Chapter 18
Jonah
Shilohand I make sure that Abby gets into her car safely. I open Shiloh’s door and place all her crafting supplies and scooter in the trunk.
I barely have my door shut when Shiloh grips the sides of my jacket and brings me in for a bruising kiss. I can’t help but moan into her mouth, one of my hands tangling in her hair while the other lightly collars her throat.
She was so kind, so empathetic toward Abby. It made me even more attracted to her. Shiloh is a better person than me. If an Alpha that previously had a crush on her ran into us like Abby did, I’m not sure I could have given them an ounce of kindness.
I probably shouldn’t have eavesdropped on their conversation, but I did. Not only did she tell Abby she deserved more, she also said we were hers, that we were spoken for. It sent a sense of pride through me that despite everything Shiloh has been through, she’s still so compassionate to others.
She was meant for us. I just know it.
Her tongue slips between my lips and I have no other option but to kiss her deeper. Hoping that she can feel how much I want her, how much she turns me on. I was sold on her being our Omega based on her looks and the way she needed us during her heat. But getting glimpses of who Shiloh truly is? I’m even more obsessed, I’m falling hard and I want my mark on her sooner than later.
Her lemony scent fills the cab, and my cock hardens. Part of me wants to lie her over the center console and fuck her until she’s screaming my name, but there’s something holding me back. There’s this incessant need to be gentle with her. I’ve already accidentally caused her harm once, and I’ll never do that again.
She’s so much smaller than me and she needs to be handled with care. She’s precious, and she’s mine.
I pull back from the kiss and she whines, her brown eyes slowly blinking open as she stares at me with a hazy expression. She licks her full lips and I lean in and kiss her once more.
“We should get home,” I say, clearing my throat, and I go to drop my hands away.
Shiloh doesn’t let me, her hand coming up to hold my hand against her slender throat. I can feel her heartbeat against my fingertips. Her pulse is sped up and soothing as I rub my thumb against her soft, smooth skin.
“I’m not made of glass, Jonah,” she says softly.
“I know that,” I reply, and she arches a dark eyebrow at me.
“You know, if I didn’t have this cast on, I’d be crawling into your lap right now.”
“Yeah, I’m well aware that if I didn’t break your ankle, things would be different,” I say, immediately wanting to take the words back.
Shiloh drops my hand and I figure I’ve truly gone and fucked things up. She surprises me when her small hand grips my chin, forcing me to look at her.
“New rule. We don’t bring up the ankle again.”
“It’s hard to ignore.”
“Well, I’m the Omega. Your Omega, if I remember correctly,” she says with a smirk and I can’t help it as a smile takes over my face, against my will.
“You liked that?”
“I liked it so much. Do you want to know how much?” she says almost as softly as the press of her lips against mine. “Hmm? Do you want me to show you how much you pleased your Omega? What a good Alpha you are. Do you need a reminder, Jonah?” My name on her lips is like a caress.
I slowly forget about the accident and try to let my guilt take a back seat. Shiloh grabs my hand and places it on her thigh, moving our hands inch by inch, until I’m playing with the side of her panties.
“Are you wet for me, princess?”
“So wet,” she replies, pushing our fingers past her panties as we drag our fingers against her drenched pussy.
I lean forward, my nose at the base of her neck, inhaling her scent like I need it to function. She unzips her coat with her free hand, giving me room to kiss her neck, and I take it. I’m a selfish fucking bastard.
