I spread her legs wide and pause, looking down at her.
“Are you sure?”
“Ronit, please. I need your knot.”
She’s gone too far into her new omega nature, and I want to stop, but this call of an omega to my alpha drags it out of me, and there is no stopping me.
I slam all the way in, my cock extending and flexing before I drag it out. She is heaven, and each pump of my hips, each time I bury my cock in her, I’m falling deeper and deeper under a spell that I don’t want to escape from.
She clings to me, her nails scoring my back. Her feet lock around my tail, holding me close. She moans my name.
I’m losing my mind when I finally shove my aching knot into her. The way she tightens, the velvet crushing that should hurt but feels better than anything, sends me insane.
The storms rage on the surface of the ocean, but I’m falling into the calm of the deep. My climax is soul-changing. It’s like I’m watching myself from a distance, rutting and thrusting into her like an animal, my knot locking us together with no chance of escape.
She purrs my name, cries for me, whines.
I don’t let up, I can’t. It’s a compulsion and a need, this driving instinct to breed my omega.
She comes, screaming my name.
I roar into her neck and just manage to stop myself from sinking my teeth in and claiming her as my own. As we lie there and the rush of hormones fades away, I don’t have any regrets.
“Mei,” I murmur.
She makes a humming sound in her throat.
I try to think of what I should say, but all the words fail me. I just stare at her kiss-swollen lips, desperate to kiss them again.
“Ronit?”
“Yeah?”
“Thank you.”
Yeah, those were the words I was looking for, the ones I couldn’t say because they seemed so paltry. I think she broke me.
Chapter 26
Mei
Ronit doesn’t avoid me like I expect him to. Instead, he just acts…kind. He brings me food and drink and sits watching me while I struggle to swallow it down. Leaf moves around, prowling the space, his steps not quite as quiet as the Sirens.
“All right, we’ve had a hot minute, let’s talk,” Reed says, and I get the impression he’s the one who will make everyone face the things they don’t want to face.
They all come towards the couch. Lirin puts a huge jug of water on the table. Funnily enough, none of us can bear any of the human drinks like coffee, soda, or juice.
“Deux killed a village.”
The memories come back thick and fast, the smell, that horrible sense of wrongness, the sheer level of his depravity.
“We can take him,” Lirin says confidently, but beside me, his thigh pressed hot and hard against mine, Brio makes a scoffing noise.
“Not the way we are now. He’s too strong, and we are…diminished. Leaf doesn’t move the way he does in water, andMei is struggling with the environment here,” Canto says and stands up and starts pacing around.
“Wow, way to hit us where it hurts,” Lirin snaps.
“It’s the truth. He is the strongest we’ve come up against. And worse, he’s smart.”
