I moan as he rocks into me, thrusting back-and-forth at the perfect speed and angle. Wrapping my thighs around him to hold him where I want him, euphoria sweeps through me as my first orgasm hits. I claw at Hale’s back as I clamp down on him, his smaller knot pulsing as it grows, like we’re caught in a pleasurable push and pull.
“Oh, fuck!” My eyes flutter closed, my entire body clenching and releasing at once, rendering me a completely useless puddle. “Yes, yes, yes! Alpha!”
Hale doesn’t quicken his movements; instead, he slows down, moving in methodical and deep strokes, playing my body like an instrument.
“That’s it, beautiful,” he coos. “Cover my knots in slick. Come all over me. Drown me.”
His husky voice makes me tremble, but the peak of that orgasm didn’t fully satiate me. I’m already chasing my next high as our bodies continue moving together.
“Are you ready for my knot?”
“Yes!” I writhe underneath him, hips desperately bucking, craving fullness. “More!”
“I’m going to fill you with cum, beautiful. So much fucking cum, your pussy will be leaking for days.”
“Yes.” I dig my heels into his peachy ass. “Please.”
While his upper knot enlarges and throbs, it doesn’t lock in the standard way. Instead, it palpates and caresses my inner walls, making me feel like I’m getting an internal massage. As I’m relishing in these indescribable sensations, his second, larger knot at the base of his cock swells. I gasp, my entire body going rigid when it suddenly locks into place, fusing our bodies together.
He lets out a guttural moan as he blows his load. Still frozen in place, I cling to him like a koala, trapping him between my thighs as he fills me so completely. Pleasure rocks through me in a way I’ve never experienced before. Sure, I’ve been knotted in the past, but nothing has ever been this intense. This all-consuming. Hale’s groaning makes me tremble as his scent engulfs me, leaving me feeling drunk and hazy until I can barely remember my own name.
This gorgeous alpha who promised to take care of me is suddenly everything. I’ve never felt this, the powerful feeling that this alpha is so intrinsically…Mine.
Without thinking, my mouth goes to his neck, my teeth teasingly grazing along his skin as my omega instincts kick in, wanting to mark him.
Hale’s broad shoulders tense, pulling me back to reason. I slam my jaw together. An omega’s bite doesn’t seal a bond, but what the actual fuck is wrong with me? Maybe he’ll throw me out as soon as his knot deflates. If an alpha touched me with their teeth during heat, I’d sue.
Still trembling from the aftershocks of my orgasm, Hale’s whisper sends a shiver down my spine. “You feel it too, don’t you?”
This isn’t the reaction I was expecting, which is even more terrifying.
Faye told me how it felt when she first met her scent matches. The magnetic pull, the undeniable attraction, the thought that you’d never feel complete without them again… But this can’t be that feeling, right? No, it must be the heat. It has to be. And the double-knot is clouding my judgment further. A mind blowing orgasm is bound to make a girl question things.
“You’re right about double-knots being intense.” I ignore his question. Yes, a sensible choice. Much more like me. “I’m sorry for getting carried away. I’m usually more controlled.”
“You don’t need to apologize.” Hale nuzzles my neck. “And we don’t need to talk about it until you’re ready.”
While my primal instincts are to cuddle up against his delicious muscles and melt into him, my logical brain is telling me to pull back.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Logic wins out. “But thank you for... You know.”
“I’ll always take care of you.” Unsaid words hang in the air, words that would be insane to say. He sighs heavily, presumably coming to his senses. “How are you feeling now, little fighter?”
“Better,” I reply as his knots pulse inside me like they belong there. “For now.”
“We don’t have to talk anymore.” He strokes my hair. “You should rest.”
We lie in the silence, my cheek pressed to his chest, listening to the thundering of his heart while he cradles me. Usually, I’m the fuck-and-go type, but I find myself enjoying this moment, wanting to prolong it. Being knotted together feels so right, making it easy to forget why this was a bad idea.
Somewhere in the quiet, I drift off. The stress, anxiety, and sheer exhaustion finally take their toll, but for some inexplicable reason, I feel safe in Hale’s strong arms.
How can I feel this at ease with a stranger?
FIFTEEN
Hale
This must be what alphas mean when they say their lives change the moment they find their omega. I don’t know whether to be thankful to Ezra for bringing Victoria here or confused because of the mess this has gotten us into. Her being a student is less than ideal for him.
