She burrows her face in my neck, inhaling my scent.
I freeze, biting my lip as hard as I can, sure to draw blood.
I won’t take over, unless she gives me permission.
Our dynamic is so delicate it could snap like a thread any minute, and I couldn’t live with myself if she regretted anything we do.
She doesn’t deserve that.
My scent match deserves the best Heat of her life, even if it only involves me holding her.
“Shirt off,” she groans. “I want to see you.”
“Yeah,” I hiss. “Yeah, sweetheart, of course.”
“Mmm. I like when you call me that.”
My head is spinning. “Yeah?”
“That’s what Ivan calls me.”
The jealousy shouldn’t be there, but I sense an irrational spike anyway.
“I can do it just as good as him, sweetheart.”
She moans, and the sound is music to my ears.
I gently move her so I can pull off my shirt, and her blanket falls away at the same time she presses her chest against mine. Her nipples are hard against my skin, sharp little points that send a spike of pleasure down my spine.
She’s in my arms. Naked.
The girl of my dreams, myscent matchis in my arms.
I can’t help the purr that rumbles from my chest as she buries her face in the crook of my neck andinhales.
“Mmm,” she moans. “You smell so good.”
I grit my teeth and groan. “Fuck. You like the way I smell,Omega?”
“Yes, you smell so good,Alpha.”
And then she’s licking my neck, just like she did to Logan while I watched with envy.
Her delicate tongue suckles on my skin, the sensitive spots between my shoulder and jaw, and my purr increases.
“Fuck, baby. Is this what you needed? Just to scent me? Would that make my girl feel better?”
She sinks her teeth into my jaw, and a low, agonized sound leaves me. She hums in delight, rubbing her cheek against my stubble, markingmewithherscent.
“That’s right, sweetheart. Stake your claim. Make sure everyone knows who your Alpha is.”
I never thought that Maeve would be the one to claim me, to mark me first and not the other way around, but I’m finding that I love it.
“Mine,” she hisses, then sinks her teeth in again.
My balls are going to burst. I’m going to come in my pants like I’ve never been touched in my life.
“Harder, Omega,” I groan. “Bite me harder.”
