“I’m serious. Anything, princess. Because you deserve it all.”
She blinked quickly before burying her face in my neck. I held her close, knowing I was completely unworthy of the perfection in my arms. I pressed a kiss to the top of her head and stroked my hand up and down the soft skin of her back.
I didn’t know how much time had passed, but eventually my knot softened and I reluctantly pulled her off of me. She cried out, clutching at my arms to keep me close. I felt the same. I wanted to be wrapped in her sweet pussy for the rest of time, but I wanted to make sure we were comfortable and safe before the next wave of her heat.
“Shh, let me clean you up a bit and take you to my place. We’ll be as quick as possible.”
Westin let out a sassy huff that made me grin. Her eyes widened as she traced my lips.
“You’re smiling,” she said, awe tinging her voice.
“You make me happy, princess.”
I leaned forward and kissed her nose before I moved her off my lap to get her ready to go. At her disgruntled expression, I smacked her ass, causing her to let out a moan.
“Mean,” she huffed.
I gave her ass another hard smack, savoring how her eyes flared and nipples grew hard at the sensation.
“Never to you, princess. Never again.”

WESTIN
Iwas pretty sure I’d been transported to an alternate universe. I was in Gray’s car, headed to his apartment. But instead of being relegated to the backseat, I was in the passenger seat with Gray’s hand planted firmly on my thigh. I kept glancing down at it to make sure it was real.
If not for the feel of his cum dripping out of me and soaking my underwear, I could have convinced myself that I’d dreamed we’d had sex.
My cramps had stopped for now, but if this really was a heat, they would return with a vengeance. I didn’t understand what was happening. I’d never had a heat. The doctors at the Designation Academy had told me that whatever was causing my infertility would also prevent me from going into heat.
My chest tightened as a tendril of panic took hold of my chest, making it hard to breathe. I wasn’t ready to go through a heat. I wanted to cling to denial, but the wave of pain that rocked through my core made it an impossible task. I needed a nest and more knots. My mind started growing hazy and I gripped Gray’s hand to ground myself.
“I’m scared,” I said, horrified when my words came out as a whine.
I never whined… except for that night with Liam.
Liam.
Suddenly, I needed him. My omega pushed fully to the surface, taking control.
“You don’t have to be scared,” Gray said, his voice carrying a calm authority that instantly put me at ease.
“I need a nest.” I hated how exposed I felt in the car.
“We’ll set you up with one, don’t worry.” He released my leg as he turned into the apartment parking lot. “Wait there,” he commanded after he put the car in park.
I didn’t have much of a choice. My body wasn’t responding to me anymore as I fell deeper and deeper into the heat haze.
Gray opened the door and unbuckled my seatbelt. I clutched at his body as he leaned over me, hungrily breathing in his woodsy pine scent. His scent was at such odds with the suit-wearing alpha, and I imagined him in the woods, chopping wood as sweat glistened down his abs. He cursed as I licked a long line up his throat without realizing what I was doing.
“Let’s get you inside.” His voice was strained as he gathered me into his arms and slammed the door shut.
He kissed my forehead, gazing down at me before shaking his head and walking toward the entrance, jolting to a stop when someone shouted at us from across the parking lot.
“What the actual fuck are you doing?”
I knew that voice.
