“I want to bite you,” I managed to get out through gritted teeth as Lennon continued to rock in my lap.
“Yes,” was her only reply, her fingers digging deep into the tops of my shoulders. “Bite me, Brooks. Bond me. Make me yours.”
Her chest heaved with each word and my eyes fixated on her pert pink nipples.
A buzzing sound filled my ears, and suddenly, I couldn’t look away.
Pulling her down around my knot, I held her there and felt the thick ring of flesh notch deep inside of her, locking us together as I spilled my seed with a shudder and a growl.
Then I lunged forward, my mouth locking around the top of her breast and my teeth sliding easily into the flesh as the pressure that had been building in my jaw finally eased.
Everything faded away for a moment as I floated along the waves of the orgasm. I vaguely heard Lennon cry out and felt her fingers curl in my hair as she clutched my head to her breast, butthat was far away as I lapped at the new bond mark and felt it click into place.
Suddenly, my own heartbeat wasn’t alone anymore.
It was joined by three others. Two soft ones and one that was bright and fervent, like the fluttering beat of a bird’s wing.
Lennon’s pleasure reflected back at me in heady waves and I was lost to it as I wrapped my arms around her slender back and held her to me, completely overwhelmed by all of the new sensations I was feeling.
“You okay?” she asked after a long time, her fingers no longer clutching at my hair, but rather stroking through the sweaty mess it had become as we clung to each other in the middle of the nest.
I finally unlatched from her breast and rested my head against it, listening to the heartbeat that I could feel beating in my own chest now.
“It’s a crazy feeling, y’know?”
I felt her laugh. “It doesn’t get old, I’ll tell you that much. I’ll show you how to control it later so you don’t have to have the others barging in on your emotions all of the time.”
“Are you feeling better now? Less, ah, heat-y?” I asked, trying to scoot us into a more comfortable position than the one we’d ended up in.
Lennon smiled at me, but her eyes were still pretty dark. “For now. I’m not sure how long the coherency will last. Are you ready to handle me again?”
I gawked, thinking about how much the first round had taken out of me. “How many rounds did you go with Mav and Zeke?”
She grinned.
“Seven.”
“Lennon, I think we might need to call an exorcist because that’s nuts.”
Another grin from her as she pulled me down amongst the fluffy nesting materials. “You’re stuck with me now, Brooks, there’s no turning back now.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” I promised. “Though I do have some ideas… I’ve had this dream about you in a red riding hood and we’re in a forest…”
Chapter Twenty Nine
A day and a half later…
“Ireally think that I’m almost done with my heat,” I said as I leaned back against the headboard and stared at the three alphas who were sprawled out in the nest in front of me.
“You said that three rounds ago, Lennon,” Maverick groaned as he chugged the rest of his water bottle before throwing an arm over his eyes.
“Yeah,” Brooks said as he glanced up at me from where he had his face planted in the sheets, “And you still have that damned look in your eyes.”
“What look?” I asked innocently as I crawled down to sprawl out across his back, relishing in the feel of his skin against mine even though I could feel their exhaustion from the three bonds we shared.
“Like you’re going to eat me alive,” he grumbled but accepted my kiss anyway, his mouth pressing lazily into my hungry one.
“Someone go get Dallas,” Zeke piped up from where he was half-asleep with a pillow over his head. “It’s his turn.”
