“Yes, please,” she said, her lips parting as she cupped the back of my neck, pulling me close until our lips met in a gentle brush. A perfect first kiss, but I was desperate for more.
We moved at the same time to deepen the kiss. Her grip on my neck tightened and her hips rocked against mine. I nipped her lower lip and she gasped.
I wished I could memorize that sound and carry it with me forever.
Westin pulled away from the kiss and clutched her stomach at another painful contraction. I’d read a lot about omegas when I was younger and knew that they could sustain internal damage if they went through their heats without being knotted.
“Gray, please,” she gasped.
“I’ve got you, princess.” I grasped her hips, lifting her enough so I could press the head of my cock to her entrance. I hesitated, still unsure I was doing the right thing, when she moved, taking me inside her in one quick movement.
I gave a shout of surprise and pleasure, my fingers digging into her luscious ass cheeks.
“You feel so good,” she moaned.
She’d rendered me speechless. My breath was ragged as my knot ground against her clit with every rocking motion. It wasn’t long before she came, creaming all over my cock. I wanted to lick up all her slick.
“Good girl,” I murmured. “Such a good girl coming on your alpha’s cock.”
She latched her lips onto my neck and started to suck. Fantasies of her digging her teeth into me, marking me as hers forever, danced through my head.
She started bouncing on my knot, her pretty pussy determined to get it inside her. My knot had already swollen to almost its full size, and I gritted my teeth, trying to hold off on coming until I was locked inside her. I was mesmerized by how small she was compared to me. She whined in frustration and dug her fingers into my shoulders when she couldn’t get my knot in.
“Just relax, love.” I moved my fingers down to her clit.
I kept a steady rhythm as my fingers played with her pussy, my other hand moving to her nipple and pinching it. She orgasmed again with a cry, and her pussy relaxed enough to take my knot. I slipped inside her tight heat, coming with a roaras she pulsed around me. I clutched her close to my chest, the sound of our heavy breathing filling the room.
It had been over a decade since I knotted someone, and it felt better than anything I remembered or could have imagined.
“You’re. So. Perfect,” I said, punctuating each word with a kiss.
Westin let out a shuddering sigh, collapsing against my chest. Her pussy clenched down harder on my knot, and I automatically bucked my hips.
“I wanted you pretty much right when I saw you,” she said. “At first, I thought you wanted me, too.”
“Oh, love. I did, so much it scared me.” I wanted to tell her everything about my old pack, but her eyes fluttered closed. I would tell her once her heat was over. “Why don’t we get you in the bath?” I suggested instead, running my hand up and down her back.
“There’s no hot water.” She nuzzled into my neck.
“Why not?”
“The power’s out.”
I frowned. There hadn’t been a storm, and I hadn’t heard of any other power outages. “Did you let the utility company know so they can fix it?” Now I remembered she’d written the power was out in her journal entry, but I’d assumed it would have been fixed by now.
Westin stiffened in my arms. “I don’t have the money to pay the bill.” Her voice sounded small.
Everything started clicking in place like a nightmare game of dominoes—her concern about not having money for dinner the other night and the fact that the electric wasn’t damaged, it was fuckingshut off. She’d been sitting in a dark home alone for days. I wanted to shake her for not telling me, but it was my fault she hadn’t.
I took a deep breath to calm myself. Going forward, she wouldn’t have to worry. I would happily give her every cent I had.
“Okay, love. It’s okay,” I murmured. “I’ll fix everything. For now, let’s get you back to my apartment. I have blankets and a bath and food. Unless… unless you want to go to the hospital?”
“No.” Westin’s eyes flew open and she shook her head hard.
“Shh, don’t worry. I’m here to give you whatever you want.”
“Whatever I want?” she said. “That’s a dangerous offer.”
