We go from zero to one hundred in the space of one kiss.
I lick my way over her lips, biting down again on her plush lower lip until she gives me access to her mouth. Raney’s eyes flash obsidian black, and she wiggles under me, searching for more. “Be patient,” I whisper quickly in her ear, before going back to kiss her again.
Kissing Raney is incredible. It always has been. Her lips are soft and she makes these little noises, especially when she relaxes because then she melts.
Behind me, I can hear Koz’s impatience. Raney can too. I feel her responding to him and it’s a right turn on. “You want to introduce me to your alpha, or is he just going to watch me and you reacquaint?” I ask, trying to put a bit of space between us. But it’s fucking hard. It’s like we’re magnetically connected, and she follows me, closing the distance so we’re kissing, slow and deep again. Until he barks, interrupting us while pulling another alpha noise from my chest, an ugly, possessive one.
Of course, Raney laughs before pushing up to sitting. And fuck me, I didn’t realise she was fully naked and in my bed, scenting it up like she owns it. But this woman taught me confidence, and the way she teases and purrs at the both of us before answering is like super charging everything about her. It’s absolutely mesmerising seeing her this way, so solid in who she is. She owns it, like she fucking owns me.
Her dark brown hair hangs like a curtain on one side over her face, but she flicks it over her shoulder, looking sexy as fuck, and smug too. “Koz, this is Puck. Puck, this is Koz.”
It’s hard swinging my attention away from her, but I do. Sitting on my haunches, I come face to face with arctic blue eyes drilling through the fucking screen right at me. But it’s weird because it doesn’t feel wrong. It feels strange but not wrong. Nabbing her and spinning her around so she sits on her ass between my thighs, I kneel up so I can see over the top of her head. In a way, it feels like we’ve all done this before, or perhaps it’s just I feel at home with her.
“Raney, tell us both what you want.” He beats me to the words I was going to try to say.
“If you were here, Koz, we’d be in exactly the same position, but I’d be full of your claim already. It doesn’t change the fact of what’s going to happen next.”
“And what is that, micina?” His eyes are on her and only her. And the small tip of his lips is nothing but burning desire for her. It’s like I’m not here, the way they’re so into each other. He leans forward making his presence seem bigger.
Raney sighs happily. “Puck would be about to fill me up too.”
He laughs before sobering up, swinging his intense blue eyes at me. It’s intimidating being in his sights. “And you, pup?”
But he can be as intimidating as he wants because nothing is coming between me and Raney again. Thank fuck I’ve got all of the Fallen and my Wolverine teammates because if push comes to shove, I might have a chance against him.
“I’ve already told Raney, she and I are not done. Not by a long shot. Probably not even in our next life.”
His face doesn’t change. Indifference on a person is a lot worse than seeing their emotions. He scoffs, and it makes me feel like I’m being interrogated. Which I am. “Before or after you discovered she was an omega?”
Except no matter his mood, his emotion, his implied or spoken threat, it just doesn’t matter. I rise up a little, towering over Raney. “It’s irrelevant. I’m not letting her go again, Koz.”
“I’ll put a bullet right here.” He taps his forehead in case I needed the warning.
I put up a hand interrupting him. “Won’t happen. I reckon until we find our way, Raney and I might stumble, but wewillfind our way. We’ll learn from each other as we go along but I know without a doubt, I’ll never do anything to intentionally upset her. But you need to know without a doubt, I’m not leaving Raney. And I am not letting her go.”
Only then does he chill. A barely there pull on his lips which might be a smile changes the look in his eyes before he shrugs. “Fine.”
“You going to stick around and watch me reunite with my girl?” I ask him for some reason. Although it’s completely irrelevant too because I get why he’s watching, and why she wants him to watch.
He grins, and okay, it’s intimidating as fuck. It’s kind of like what I imagine looking a shark in the eye when your bleeding would feel like. And I’m glad this is how our first meeting is going—remotely. I’ve never met an alpha like him—he fucking oozes power and rips your attention from you. My intimidation though is not based solely on fear. I’m struck by a sense of respect and another insight that he and I will be fine. “I’m not going anywhere.”
“Okay.” He chuckles darkly. His sculpted eyebrows flick up in question, either that or he’s saying, ‘we’ll see’. A second later he shrugs unconcerned, so fucking sure of himself.
While I feel okay, it doesn’t mean our designation allows us to drop the weird posturing bullshit that alphas do. We size each other up. A million unspoken words including threats, pledges, promises, you name it get swapped as we stare at each other. Until a small noise comes from Raney, as she wiggles against me, and then my attention is on her, and only her.
“What do you need?” I lean down, turning her face to mine. Without uttering a word, she floods my senses as she looks deep into my eyes and uses her omega side to let me know.
Honestly, it feels like my eyes roll back in my head as her wisteria sweetness coats every part of me. Perhaps it does, because the next time I realise I’m staring at her, I’m nearly nose to nose with her as an insatiable need to drag my mouth over her neck where my faded claim sits drives me wild.
“Tell me how she smells?” Koz groans. It’s as if he can scent her through the screen. He even leans in expectantly.
I have to shake my head as I get so caught up in her. Raney’s hands are rushing to touch my skin, she clings to me. I can hear her begging in my thoughts. Her eyes are at half-mast and a little vacant, telling me she’s here but not really here. As lost as I am. She’s responding to me as much as I am to her. It’s a fucking rush, making my breathing pick up and my already aching cock hurt.
“Spread her wide, Puck, and I’ll tell you how to soothe her need while you show me what you can do.”
I check on the screen, making sure I heard him right. A flick up of his head is confirmation enough.
But I need to hear her sweet consent before I flip her over and fuck her silly. “Is that all right with you, Raney?”
