“Please, please, please,” she begged in a desperate breath. She wanted all of Adra, wanted—

Lyric gasped as the realization came to her and framed Adra’s face with her hands. “Bite me,” she demanded. “I already know you’re mine, but I want others to know too. Do it.”

His hips nudged into hers, and Lyric wrapped her legs around him, pulling him in deeper, teasing herself with his knot.

“Are you absolutely certain?” His breath ghosted over her lips, his gaze searching hers desperately.

“Yes.”

“You want others to know?” he asked.

Lyric nodded, lifting her head and nipping at his lips.

“Yeah. You won’t be the odd one out ever again.”

His eyes flared. “Then I’m gonna bite you somewhere you can show it off,” he murmured, drifting his lips from her cheek to her neck. Lyric tilted her head, baring her throat to him, but he slid lower, wrapping his lips around the curve of her collarbone, nipping in a tease.

Lyric knew this was irreversible. But she knew without a doubt that Adra belonged to her. “You won’t leave, right? At the end of tour?”

“I’m not going anywhere,” Adra promised.

Her fingers clawed into his shoulders, his hips, pulling him into her. His hips bucked, sending his cock even deeper inside her, the knot pushing at her entrance. Lyric cried out, bucking into him, needing the fullness awaiting her, wanting the teasing to end.

“Bite me,” she demanded, tilting her neck to the side, baring her throat.

With one last thrust, Adra’s knot slid inside her. Lyric cried out, the incredible fullness so much better than she remembered. It sent her over the edge, and she squeezed her eyes shut just as Adra’s teeth broke her skin, and he came tumbling after her.

Lyric didn’t know how to describe it—the bliss of falling together, the connection that snapped into place and wrapped around them. It was like a wave crashed over her, over them as Adra wrapped himself up in her. Everything was intensified—the pulse of him inside her, his teeth in her flesh—it was multiplied, mirrored back at her until she didn’t know where it began and ended.

That was when she realized it wasn’t her own pleasure she was feeling. The echo of Adra’s ecstasy pulled at her, lost in her own until they were spinning in a whirlwind caught up in each other.

When he finally released her, leaving his mark in her skin, it only lessened the effect. She could still feel the echo of him in her mind. His satisfaction burned down the line of their connection, his arousal and ecstasy feeding her own.

He pressed a kiss to the wound, laving his tongue over it, and it sent sparks dancing across her entire body. She tightened around him, and he nudged his hips into her, making her cry out again.

Lyric knew about the bite, knew it was sensitive, knew it was bonding, but knowing something and experiencing it were incredibly different.

“Oh my god,” she whispered.

Adra lifted his head, lids half-mast as he stared down at her. “It’s not over yet,” he promised.

Lyric whimpered as Adra pulsed inside her, nudging his hips into her.

Adra fulfilled his promise over and over again. He played with her bite mark, and he teased her clit. Bringing her to orgasm over and over again. Throbbing inside her, filling her up until her cries echoed around the bunk area and finally faded as exhaustion crept up on her.

As the last of the ecstasy slipped away, only an echo of it remained down the line of their connection. Lyric blinked her eyes open and stared up at Adra.

“Proud of yourself?” she teased.

She was boneless, utterly pleased and wrung out by her alpha. And she couldn’t help but grin.

“Very,” he rumbled, mouthing at her bite mark again.

Adra rolled over, pulling her across his chest in a lazy heap. He slipped out of her as the knot finally faded.

Lyric snuggled into his warmth, at least until he pulled her up his body so he could nurse at her wound some more. It was nothing overtly sexual, and the sensation that went dancing over her skin was more affectionate than arousing, at least for the moment.

“Thank you,” Adra murmured.
