“If you think the idea of you swollen with my baby and tied to me forever is a deterrent…” He moves again, hips rolling like a predator.
I swallow. “I just needed you to be informed. One last thing.” I hold up my hand again, trying to slow him down. “On the table. It’s an NDA, prenup, pre-bond contract I drew up.”
That gets him to stop. Mark blinks at me for a moment and then throws his head back, laughing so hard he ends up having to wipe away tears. He opens his coat, pulls out a pen from an interior pocket, and signs the papers with a flourish.
“You didn’t even read it,” I squeak.
“There is not a single goddamn thing you could have in there that would keep me from claiming you,” he says, voice impossibly deep. He’s close enough now that I can see when his pupils completely blow. “Are you going tofinallylet me take care of you, little omega?”
“Yes, alpha,” I say breathlessly.
He reaches the couch and tugs the blanket away from me. I whine low in the back of my throat, and he grips my pajama top, ripping it open and sending the buttons flying. The cool air is blissful against my feverish skin. I shimmy out of my shorts and lift my arms toward him.
He scoops me up. “I know I don’t have a nest. Where do you want to go?”
“Your bedroom,” I gasp, pressing my lips to his neck and pushing at his coat. “You’re wearing too many clothes,” I whine. “I need skin.”
“Shhh. Soon, little cereus.” He carries me to the bedroom, laying me on the bed before stripping.
A high-pitched, keening whine slips from my lips as I watch him. Another cramp hits me, worse now, like my body knows that what I need is right here but not inside me. I moan in pain. “Mark, please…”
He crawls over me. “What do you need?”
“Your knot. Lots and lots of cum.”
“I think I can make that happen,” he says with a grin. “But first, how about I take the edge off by eating this perfect little pussy, hmm? I need to see if I love it even more now with your slick.”
I nod eagerly, spreading my thighs, rational thought slipping away as the fog of my heat finally slides over me now that I’m safely with my mate.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Mark
Clearly I’ll needto find a way to block off time in Ava’s daily schedule for alone time in her office, because the taste of her slick combined with her full omega scent is the best thing I have ever encountered. As it is, only the thought that I’m going to be able to knot her is enough to make me stop.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this hard before. I have to reach a hand down and squeeze to take some pressure off my knot as I pull myself up from between her thighs.
I can tell she’s completely gone into her heat now. Her eyes are unfocused, and the only rational words I’ve heard her manage in a while are “more,” “please,” and “knot.” She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Her hair is fanned out across my pillow, breasts heaving as she tries to catch her breath, thighs and pussy gleaming from her slick and my attention.
She whines and reaches for me, but I grip her hips and roll us so that I’m lying on my back. “The first time we ever fucked was in this bed, and you took control and rode me. Seems only fitting that this first time be the same, don’t you think?”
I don’t know how much of that she fully catches, but she scrambles onto my pelvis quickly, and with no fanfare, sinks me inside of her. I have to hiss through gritted teeth to not come immediately. She’d always been what I considered wetter than most of the betas I’ve slept with in the past, but nothing compares at all to the way it feels to slide into her slick-coated heat.
Ava moans, lifting her knees so that she’s able to plant her feet firmly on the mattress and lift herself up and down my shaft at a frenzied pace. She leans down to kiss me, and I cradle the back of her head with my hand as my tongue meets hers.
“I’m not gonna last long if you keep that up, baby,” I growl against her lips.
“Knot,” she whimpers, doing a little figure-eight motion that has me seeing fucking stars.
I want her to finish again while I’m inside her before I’ll allow myself the indulgence of knotting her, so I move my hand to the front of her throat, easing her back up to a sitting position as I lightly choke her. I slip my other hand between us and find her clit. She’s an absolute slut for that combo. I have to hold back a chuckle as I remember teasing her about that not long ago at the courthouse.
Pressure builds as my knot starts to inflate, so I press my thumb harder against her, letting the movements of her thrusts grind the sensitive little bundle of nerves against it. “Come for me, Ava,” I moan, hoping she does so I can.
It only takes another moment, and her back arches, her entire body shaking as she does. The end of her hair tickles my shins as I push my hips higher, pushing my knot inside her. As I feel it lock into the spot that only omegas have, I shout, and Ava screams. My orgasm overwhelms me, and it feels like her pussy milks the cum from my body.
I tug her down so she can sprawl on my chest, which makes my knot shift inside her in a way that has us both moaning again. I press soft kisses over her temple, rubbing circles along her back. She lifts her head to look at me, and I’m pleased to see that she’s a little more focused.
“Hello, little cereus. Welcome back. Did a good knotting help you come back online?” I ask with a grin.
