Sidian moaned as he bucked his hips, meeting every thrust, heels pressed into Roman’s back so hard he knew they would leave bruises, but it gave Roman perfect leverage. “Need it so fucking bad, alpha. Need you. Don’t you ever fucking leave me again.”

That raw demand ripped through Roman, Sidian’s words slotting into place in his very soul as he leaned down to press his face against Sidian’s. He needed to kiss his omega, but he could suffer without, gritting his teeth behind the steel bars of the muzzle. Whatever Sidian needed. Roman would be whatever Sidian needed.

“I’m never leaving you again.” He cupped Sidian’s cheek, staring down into his hazy eyes. “Never. I’ll kill whoever tries to come between us.”

Sidian laughed, tilting his head to dig his teeth into the heel of Roman’s palm. “Save some for me. I wanna help.”

“Gladly.” The thought of him streaked with blood had Roman gripping his mate even tighter, drilling into his cunt with renewed fervor while Sidian shook and mewled beneath him.

The second orgasm had him all but sobbing, and he kicked Roman so hard in the back it hurt. “Knot me, knot me, I want your knot alpha, plea—”

One harsh thrust choked the word off in a cry, Sidian’s cunt eagerly swallowing Roman’s knot. The sharp pressure of his pussy clenching tighter unleashed the clench in Roman’s guts, his vision going black for just a moment as the pleasure of it hit him all at once. He spilled inside of Sidian where he was supposed to, and Sidian moaned again, his hips twitching, dragging Roman’s knot against his raw, flayed nerves.

It took Roman time to come down from the high. Took him time to catch his breath, and then pure wonder choked him until he felt a sting at the backs of his eyes. He’d feared once that he’d never see Sidian Vey again, that he was ripped from Roman’s arms moments after he removed every obstacle between them, but Sidian was there. Wrapped around Roman’s knot like a hot little vice, trembling and sweaty, sweet and perfect and a dream come true.

Roman’s. All Roman’s. His sweet little omega mate.

“Fuck.” Sidian’s arms fell into the nest, and Roman saw fresh blood smudged on his fingertips. “Mm. Come here and hold me. I’m tired.”

Laughing, Roman covered Sidian with his body as best he could in the current position, letting his omega rest against the sheets before slipping an arm under his slender back to hold him closer. His soft tits pressed up against Roman’s chest, and he made a mental note to make good on how badly he wanted to get his mouth on Sidian’s nipples the first opportunity he got.

Sidian nuzzled the front of his throat, sighing against his skin. “I’ll take the muzzle off in a minute. Looks pretty sexy on you, though.”

“I’m sure the boss will be happy to hear that.” He’d sent it for self-control, or so he said, but Roman did not know if he believed that.

Now that he thought about it, he wondered if he might have let something slip when he was a teenager. Or had the boss listened to what details Roman offered and discerned what the power dynamic would be? A muzzle would prevent a bite. It wouldn’t stop Roman from killing anyone.

He could do that with his bare hands, after all.

Sidian nipped his skin, the light pressure of his teeth making Roman dream of something more. “I want you to fuck me as often as possible. And eat me out more.”

“I’d do that every day if you wanted.” Roman could envision that: being woken up by the scent of slick, his face already caged in the welcoming heat of Sidian’s pussy so that the first lazy lick would find his throbbing little clit and have his mate sighing above him.

Sidian slapped him on the chest. “Don’t threaten me with a good time.”

They would definitely revisit that offer in the future, then.

Chapter Thirteen

“How nice of you to remember the skill of making a phone call, Kane,”Jagger said as soon as the call connected, his smooth voice undercut by a slight growl of irritation.“The boss said he contacted you and that you were fine. Good to know since you wouldn’t call in.”

To his credit, Roman only looked alittlelike a kicked puppy where he sat at the foot of the nest. “I was busy. I needed to get Sidian somewhere safe. It was hindbrain stuff.”

Jagger scoffed in response.“Whatever. What the hell went on back there? Ghost told me you chased an omega out in the woods, and you didn’t make it back in time for extraction to pick you up. Is Sidian supposed to be the omega you ran off with? Who even is that?”

“Hi,” Sidian called out from the bathroom doorway, monitoring the tub as it filled up with water and bubbles while also nosing into the conversation that did not involve him. “Nice to meet you. I’m the runaway omega.”

There was a pause before Jagger spoke again.“You’re letting him listen in on the call?”

“He’s my mate.” There was no hesitation in Roman’s voice as he combed a hand through his hair, his expression at peace as he rolled his shoulders. Must be getting sore, or maybe itchy from all the blood. “He’s allowed to listen to whatever he wants.”

Sidian chuckled as he adjusted his own standing position. His entire pussy felt like so much as a touch would bring him to his knees, but the sex had been well worth it. Who even knew sex could feel that good? No wonder other omegas enjoyed their heats.

“Is this the one we were looking for?”Jagger asked, sounding exasperated.“How the fuck is that possible? Even the boss looked. He didn’t find jack shit about that omega.”

Roman’s mouth turned down at the corners. “We’re working on figuring that out. A pack by the name of Kincaid was assaulting him at the breeding center. Any info on them?”

That time, the pause was at least twice as long.“What are you trying to do, Kane?”
