“Darling,” he says quietly, and my blood pressure spikes. “Come here.”

I stop fighting it.

Slowly, I uncurl myself and make my way over to his side of the couch, where he wraps an arm around me. I bury my face in his side, inhaling everything that is pure Alpha.

Safety. Warmth. Comfort.

Just like it was with River, it’s as if this is the thousandth time he’s held me.

When his chest starts to rumble, I nuzzle my face into him, sighing in pleasure.

“You are a beautiful little liar,” he whispers in my ear, his hand coming to stroke my hair. “You know never to lie to a detective, right?”

His purr increases, and I whimper into his chest.

“The obscene number of candles. The perfume you’re wearing to mask your real scent.” His fingers drift from my hair down to my neck, and I stifle a moan. “You could have told me, and I would have visited another time.”

“Do you want to leave?” I ask, half afraid.

Maybe he doesn’t want to be around me when I’m like this.

“I never want to leave,” he admits quietly, his fingers tracing circles around my throat. “That’s the problem.”

Every touch is a live wire directly to my clit, and I shift my thighs. “Then don’t,” I murmur.

“You don’t understand the effect you have on me,” he sighs, his hand traveling to trace under the top of my sweater. When his fingers brush against my collarbone, my cunt spasms at the sensation. “I don’t do this. I don’t lose control. But with you…all rules are thrown out the window.”

I’m melting at his touch. My cunt aches, fresh slick dripping out of me, and I let out a soft moan.

“Landon,” I gasp as his fingers reach to the side and brush my mating gland. “I’m, you’re going to make me…”

“So sensitive,” he whispers as I jerk my hips at his touch. He keeps me in place on the couch with his arm wrapped around my waist, and I’m helpless as he sends shockwaves of pleasure through my body. “So beautiful.”

It takes one gentle tap at my gland with his mouth at my neck, and my back arches. I let out a cry as my release hits me, and he groans into my skin while I writhe under his hold.

When I finally calm down, he lets go of my waist to turn and cup my face in his hands. His pupils are dilated, so big that there’s almost no brown left to his irises.

“Tell me I can kiss you,” he breathes against my lips. “Tell me I can taste you.”

I nod, letting out a gasp. “Yes,” I whisper. “Please.”

Still cradling my face, he crashes his lips to mine.

It’s different from the way River kisses. Landon kisses me thoroughly but slowly, taking his time. There’s no desperation; just his tongue exploring my mouth and me moaning into the kiss.

It’s incredibly hot. Sweat beads from my forehead, and I’m so overheated I feel as if I might explode.

“Ridiculous girl,” he chides, grinning against my lips. “You’re going to trigger my Rut. No amount of candles will stop it, I promise you.”

I whimper and nip at his full bottom lip.

“Always testing my control,” he breathes, running his mouth down my throat and sucking bruises into the skin.

Despite the fog of lust in my brain, I suddenly remember that he’s not the only Alpha that will be here tonight.

River should be coming over at any moment.

“Wait,” I gasp, struggling to not rip my clothes off and jump on him. “You should know I’ve been with River,” I say quickly, shame coursing through my veins.
