I’m panting so hard, I think I might hyperventilate. Another pulse of slick rushes out of me when he pops the top button.
“Please,” I manage, hushed between us.
“Oh, God, Addie. You don’t have to beg me for this,” Leo says and makes short work of getting my pants undone, tugging them over my hips and off.
I open my legs as soon as I’m free, tilt my hips up, presenting for him. It’s better to present on my hands and knees, but I want to see his face. I need to see his face.
Leo swallows hard. I flick my eyes down to his hand on his massive cock. He’s stroking it slowly. I meet his eyes again. He’s looking at me like he can’t believe I’m real. He’s all heat, but there’s something nervous in his gaze too.
I reach my hand up and wrap my palm around his nape, pulling him down to kiss me.
Leo’s lips meet mine and he groans into it. The kiss is messy, fumbling. He pulls back but stays close.
“Addie,” he says against my lips. I can feel him moving into place between my legs. I open wider. His cockhead notches at my hole and slick gushes out of me. My skin is on fire, and my scent must hit him with the force of my need because he pushes forward, sliding all the way inside.
“Dear God. Addie,” he gasps out, and his hands come up to cradle my face.
I moan. I’m so full. So achingly, perfectly full.
Leo slides back out, then pushes in. All of my nerve endings are singing with pleasure. He does it again, groaning, gasping, chanting my name.
I wrap my arms around his back, my legs around his waist, and try to pull him closer, pull him deeper inside myself. My mating gland is a constant throb now—I need him to bite me, to claim me.
Leo bites at the collar, a growl ripping out of him. I shudder and squeeze him tighter. His groin slaps my ass, my slick making the sound wet. I arch my neck as far as I can, presenting myself for his bite. He gnashes at the leather with his teeth. Breaths are punched out of me as his hips pump into me with so much force all I can do is take it.
Nothing has ever felt this good.
And then, it gets even better. A swelling at the base of his cock.
Leo pulls back. He meets my eyes, dazed with the confirmation. I know I must look the same.
I knew, but this makes it real. It continues to swell and my hole instinctually clamps around it, trying to lock him in place.
“Shit, Addie, I’m going to breed you. Is that what you want, baby? Is that what you want?” he pants out as his thrusts turn shorter, harder.
I gasp, nodding my head erratically. I cry out as my walls ripple around him, my first orgasm for the heat.
His knot locks in place, and Leo throws his head back and groans as he starts to come. Wet warmth spreads inside me, filling me up. I’m too far gone to think about the birth control I’m on. My omega side has taken over, and it won’t recede until we’re fully sated. Until we’re tied and relaxing.
Because we will be tied. Because he knotted me. Because he’s my mate.
A melancholy washes over me as I’m pumped full. I shudder around him, both of us riding a climax that feels endless. He hasn’t bitten me. He hasn’t claimed me.
I come to slowly. I’m sprawled on top of Leo’s chest. My mind is no longer foggy with heat, just hazy from sleep. Leo’s hand travels up and down my back in a soothing caress. He smells satisfied. Happy. Relieved. But there’s an ache in him too.
I lift my head to look at him.
His smile is tentative. I return it, dazed that this happened. That he came back. That he spent—
“Leo, you spent twenty grand! What the fuck were you thinking?”
And now the panic sets in. He came back. He’s not safe. I’m collared, so he can’t claim me, but even if he did claim me, he’d have to challenge Benji to get me out of here. Benji, like all the alphas here, won’t take that challenge as a fair fight. He’ll probably haul Leo outside and shoot him.
“Hey, hey,” he says soothingly and reaches for my nape, clasping me firmly. “It’s okay. I’ve got you, it’s okay.”
It calms me, but I’m still breathing shakily.
“And I’d have spent a million,” he says.
