Damn primal Omega hindbrainwantsher Alpha’s cock right at the threshold.
His eyes find mine. “Ride me.”
My hands press into his shoulders. I can’t lift off the knot, not even a little, so I start a shuddering rock back and forth. My clit rubs against him as his knot grinds into the spot that has me approaching my third climax.
His hands grip my hips, guiding me with quiet, reverent strength.
He watches everything. The way I move. The way I tremble. It makes me feel powerful. Like I’m something rare and sacred. Like Imatter.
The smell of our pheromones is thick in the air, a heady mix of roses, gunpowder, and lavender. My muscles are shaking.
His knot throbs, and it sends me over the edge.
“Halley!” Viper shouts, his eyes screwed shut as he follows me into his peak.
His cock pulses again and again.
My pleasure goes on for what feels like forever, spurred on by the warmth deep inside as he floods me with his seed.
When I come back to myself, my body is limp, my skin damp. I sag against his chest, breath shallow, my heartbeat still galloping.
He’s still watching me.
The darkness in his gaze has faded. All that remains is something unshakable.
“Alpha. Viper,” I whisper, reaching up to touch his cheek.
He turns into my hand like he’s starved for it, presses a kiss into my palm that lingers.
“My Omega,” he murmurs. “My Halley.”
Chapter Sixteen
Shade
They fucked.
Viper knotted Halley.
I know exactly what happened from a single glance. She’s practically glowing, her cheeks are flushed pink and her purple eyes are sparkling. Her chestnut brown hair is tangled and wild. And her scent?Rut-damn, it’s so strong, I’m instantly hard.
It’s been months since I felt even a flicker of arousal, and now I’m straining against my trousers from one breath of freshly fucked Omega.
Viper wears a dopey smile with a far-off, dreamy expression. His pupils are blown, and his scent is a heady mix of her slick and his come.
They smell like each other, and jealousy curls in my chest before I can stop it.
I don't have any right to the emotion. After all, I'm the one who got to eat her out before she left. But still, I'll allow myself some time later for internal sulking.
They’re walking towards me, holding hands, and talking quietly to each other. They haven’t seen me yet.
I’m leaning against a frozen stone wall in one of the fortress’s many dark corridors. Knox asked Blaze and me to run some recon. I’m not as stealthy as my counterpart, but as a Beta, I can blend in.
As they draw closer, their conversation filters in.
"— hate me?"
"Pretty girl, do I need to prove to you again just how much Idon'thate you?"
