The heat and tightness of him nearly made me come on the spot. I gritted my teeth and held still to give us both a second to adjust.
Carmine's nails dug into my shoulders, and he wrapped his legs around my waist to pull me deeper. "Give it to me, Dominic."
I pulled almost all the way out and thrust forward again, going hard and fast. The friction was incredible as Carmine's body gripped me like a vice. Within a few strokes, I found a rhythm that had both of us panting and clawing at each other.
His slick created wet sounds of our bodies coming together that filled the room just as completely as our harsh breathing and low moans. I'd never felt anything like this before. Why was he different?
In the back of my mind, I knew the answer to that, but I wasn’t fully ready to acknowledge it. Not yet. Not until I knew he wanted it too.
After several minutes of swearing and begging, Carmine reached down and wrapped his hand around his own cock. He strokedhimself in time with my thrusts until his eyes rolled back in his head.
"That’s mine." I batted his hand away and replaced it with my own.
His cock was hard and leaking in my grip as I pumped him from root to tip. When his whole body tightened up, I knew we were both close and hurtling toward the edge. "Dom, I'm gonna come."
“Me too, baby. Do it.” I thrust harder and stroked him faster. "Come for me, omega."
He cried out in relief as he spilled hot cream over my hand and onto his stomach. His whole body clenched around me, milking my precome until it triggered my own climax.
“Fuck, baby.” I buried myself as deep as I could go and let the pleasure crash over me. “You feel too good.”
When I was as deep as I could get, my knot swelled and locked me inside of him.
Carmine gasped at the sensation, and his hands scrabbled against my back. I pumped into him one last time as my hot seed filled his tight channel.
There was no way to deny it any longer. This omega was mine, and I was his. I’d finally found my mate.
I collapsed on top of him and rolled slightly with him in my arms as I tried to catch my breath.
Carmine's hands came up to run through my hair and down my back in soothing strokes as we lay connected until my knot released us.
"You okay?" I pressed a kiss to his temple.
"Hell yeah." His voice was soft and satisfied. "I’ve never had a knot before." He wiggled a little and smiled. “It’s fucking awesome.”
I chuckled and kissed him again. “I think so, too.”
He tucked his head under my chin and relaxed against me.
My fingertips explored his bare skin, tracing scars and tracking each line of muscle. A moment before my knot went down and my dick slipped out of him, his breathing evened out.
The exhaustion from being up for almost twenty-four hours finally caught up with me, so I let my eyes drift closed too. I had nowhere better to be than holding the omega I never expected to find.
When I woke up a few hours later, my arms were empty and the bed beside me was cold.
I sat up fast and looked around the room, but Carmine was gone.
His clothes were off the floor, and his bag was missing from the chair. The only sign he'd been there at all was the faint scent of him on the sheets and the soreness in my muscles.
I scrubbed my hands over my face and tried to process what the hell just happened. Didn’t he feel the mating bond between us? Was I completely wrong about that?
The man who'd been so confident and sure last night had bolted the first chance he got.
My phone buzzed on the nightstand, so I grabbed it, hoping for a text from Carmine. Instead, it was Cord.Everything good? You at home?
I stared at the message and didn't know how to answer. Nothing was good. I'd found my mate and lost him in the same night.
But I couldn't tell Cord that.Yeah. On my way to your place now.
