“It's okay,” I tell him, relaxing my grip and sliding my hands around him. “I'm here.”
“What do we do, Cross?”
I slide one hand down his stomach, splitting my fingers to frame the base of his cock, pressing them against Genie's swollen, soaked entrance. He hisses and she sighs again. I can see it, his knot. Just the edge of it because she's clenching around him so tightly.
“Don't,” Parker breathes.
I grin. “You don't even know what I want to do.”
“You want to touch it,” he rasps. “While it's in her. Don't.”
“Why not? It would feelsooo gooood.” I emphasize the words by spreading my fingers just a bit.
“I might scream,” he says. “Or pass out.”
“Do it,” Genie purrs, the words slurring.
His hand snaps out to swat her hip gently. “Nobody asked you.” He rubs his palm against her skin where the small slap landed. “You'll scream or pass out, too, because if he touches it, I'll have to fuck you all over again.”
She wriggles her hips. “Do it, Drew. Wrap your fingers around it. Squeeze it.”
Laughter explodes from me at the horrified sound he makes.
“Don't, Cross. Really. Don't. I can't take it.”
I kiss his shoulder and remove my hand from between them. “I won't.” I nip the place I just kissed. “This time. How do you have a knot?Are you an alpha now? Is that what this means?”
He swallows and nods. “Apparently.”
“Latent.”
He nods again. “Because of her. For her.”
She sighs again and the scent of slick and Parker's cum fills the air around us, making me impossibly harder. “Oh, I love that.”
“What?”
“The scent of you and Genie together.”
Chapter Forty-five
Cross
She’s going to run. I can feel it. My wolf is pacing inside me with our winding anticipation. The second she’s able to pull away from Parker, she’s going to shift and run. And I’m going to chase her.
I finally get to do it. After years of running towards her, I get to hunt her. I'm going to give her a few moments to get ahead, only as long as it takes me to shift. I can already feel the shift pushing against the beds of my nails and the tingling in mygums. Goddess, I can't wait for it. I'm not sure who needs this chase more, me, my wolf, or our mate.
My wolf circles urgently.Are you ready?
Are you?
He snorts instead of answering and circles again.
Genie's breath leaves her in a sigh as she stretches, arching her back.
Parker sucks in his breath, his eyes shooting from her to me and back to her. “Genie.”
Her lips curl in a smile.
