Whoa. That is a declaration for the ages. “Really?”
“You are mine, Omega. All mine.” His hand fists in my hair and he brings my face to his so he can nibble possessively on my lips.
It feels amazing, but part of the hope inside me dies. He doesn’t see me as an equal. I’m his Omega, his possession. And that’s all I’ll ever be.
The thought is a cold splash of water down my lust-heated skin. Speaking of which…
“I need a bath,” I tell him.
“You certainly enjoyed my seed.” He smirks. “You licked at it like you couldn’t get enough.”
I wrinkle my nose. “Don’t remind me. That was then. This is now. I’m sticky.”
“Soon,” he says, pressing me into his side.
“Now,” I demand.
His chest vibrates with a purr, and I settle down immediately. My chest throbs in time with his rumbles. Another weird Alpha/Omega thing Juno warned me about: Alphas can purr to comfort and calm their Omega mates. The reaction is instant and strong, like being overdosed with a sedative.
“Okay, fine. A few more minutes.” I yawn, suddenly content to lie in his arms. We’re naked in his stark bed, the sheets and cushions long since having slid to the floor. His golden, tattooed body and my paler one look good entwined. We’re sticky, sated… and it feels so right.
Or is that the serum talking? Crap.
Are all Omegas this affected by one single Alpha? Or is it just me?
Maybe I can ask Emma. I need to find her—or convince Aurus to let me speak with her. She might be able to answer some questions for me.
God, I have so many questions. And the longer I stay with Aurus, the closer to him I feel. Like there’s an invisible cord forming between us, binding us.
I need to cut that cord, stat. Yes, he’s amazing in bed, but he’s also an arrogant, pompous asshole, and it’s clear he doesn’t give a shit about me beyond using me for his pleasure. He claims it’s all about breeding, but a tiny part of me hopes it’s more than that. A stupid part of me. There’s no use believing that he wants to be with me. I’m just his pet Omega.
Screw that. I’m going to get over this obsession, and get out of here. Get home. Wherever home is. Earth—not that I remember much about my home planet. Maybe I should give up on Earth and make a new home here. I can live anywhere, as long as I’m a good ten miles away from Aurus.
Make that one hundred miles. Out of range of the stupid gong.
Regardless, I need allies. I’ve probably gotten Juno and the others into enough trouble with my reckless behavior earlier that they won’t be willing to help me, but maybe Emma will.
We human women have to stick together, right?
I lick my lips. Aurus’s taste lingers on my tongue. Why is his flavor so intoxicating? Must be an Omega thing.
I don’t like this golden royal asshat, but I love his big dick. I may as well enjoy that until it’s time to leave.
“Kim.” His voice is a low rumble which sends a tingle up my spine. At least he occasionally uses my name now.
“Yes?”
“We need to discuss what happened earlier.”
“Yeah? What about it?” There are sudden butterflies in my belly but I ignore them.
“Everything about it.” He opens his sleepy honey eyes and pins me with a glare. “Your behavior was unacceptable.”
I bite my lip. How should I play this? Feign innocence? Just be confident? Distract him with more sex? When I roll over to sit up, a sharp stab in my poon makes me reconsider the third option. He fucked me so hard, my pussy’s bruised.
Casting him what I hope is a seductive glance, I wave my hand to indicate my naked, cum-covered body, gratified when his pupils dilate at the sight of me. “I didn’t realize my presence would have that effect on everyone. That was an accident. But did you see how badass my moves were?”
“You could have been killed.”
