She gasps, her eyes flying to mine. “That’s so fast,” she says, her voice catching. “Only say it if you mean it.”
“I mean it,” I tell her, my hands cradling her face. “A million percent. I love you, Anya Rosewood. I’ve loved you since the moment I first saw you, even if I didn’t know it then.”
Her eyes fill with tears at my words, even though she doesn’t say it back yet. She will one day. I’m certain of it.
Behind her, Alaric shifts, his hands moving to her waist tosupport her weight as my knot holds us locked together. “We all love you,” he says, his voice thick with emotion. “You’re our omega now.”
I hold her close, feeling the steady pulse of my knot inside her, the warmth of her body against mine.
This is where I belong. Forever.
Twenty-Five
ANYA
That night, the nesting room is quiet except for the low crackle of the fireplace and the wet sounds of lotion being rubbed between strong hands. Lorenzo, Alaric, and Rex are outside doing perimeter checks, which means I’m completely alone with Ryker and Marcus.
My body is burning.
The heat has me in its grip again, a constant, throbbing fire low in my belly that makes my pussy ache and my nipples tight even though no one has touched them yet.
I’m lying on my stomach on the massive circular cushion, completely naked, my belly pressed comfortably into the soft memory foam. The claiming bites on my neck, shoulder, and thigh pulse with heat. Every beat of my heart sends another rush of slick leaking from my pussy onto the nest.
Ryker kneels on my left, gloriously naked.
His massive cock is rock-hard and resting against his thigh, the thick head already glistening with pre-cum. I can’t stop staring at it. It’s fully erect now, jutting proudly from a nest of dark hair, the head flushed a deep red, a bead of clear fluidglistening at the tip. It’s so big, so thick, the base already beginning to swell with the promise of a knot.
The sight makes my pussy clench, slick beginning to pool beneath me.
“Like what you see?” Ryker asks, catching me staring. He shifts slightly, bringing his cock even closer to my face. “You can touch it if you want.”
I reach out tentatively, my fingers wrapping around his thick shaft. The skin is hot and velvety soft, but the flesh beneath is hard as steel. I give him an experimental stroke, from base to tip, and he groans, his hips jerking forward.
“That’s it,” he encourages, one hand leaving my back to brush my hair from my face. “Just like that.”
I continue stroking, establishing a rhythm that has him breathing harder, his cock growing even harder in my grip. On my other side, Marcus has moved down to my legs, his strong hands kneading the muscles of my thighs with firm, deliberate movements.
Four big, rough palms glide over my skin, spreading the silky lotion in long, firm strokes.
The pressure is perfect and hard enough to melt the knots in my muscles, gentle enough to make me whimper. Ryker works my upper back and neck, his thumbs digging into the tight spots, while Marcus focuses on my lower back, his fingers spreading wide over my spine.
It feels heavenly. But the more they touch me, the worse the heat gets.
My pussy clenches around nothing, leaking steadily. My nipples drag against the soft cushion with every breath, sending little sparks through me.
“Fuck, she’s dripping already,” Marcus growls, his voice low and hungry. His hands slide lower, massaging the back of my thighs with slow, possessive strokes. He works his way up,thumbs brushing the sensitive crease where my ass meets my legs.
“I need a knot,” I whimper, moaning softly into the cushion.
Marcus chuckles darkly. “All this tension in your ass, omega. You’re wound so tight back here.”
He pours more lotion directly onto my ass cheeks and starts kneading them. His hands are huge, fingers digging into the soft flesh, spreading me open slightly with every firm squeeze.
The cool lotion meets my overheated skin, and I shiver.
Then he gets bolder.
His hands move to the very center of my ass, spreading my cheeks wide. The cool air hits my exposed hole, making me shiver. I feel him lean down, his breath hot against my sensitive flesh.
