“Gods dammit, Beau!”

“Fine, fine. Shit, never let a man have any fun.” Beau leaned away from Rey, reaching for a stack of papers beside his chair. Shuffling through them, he slipped one free and held it out to Rey.

“You knew who I was…?” Devin rocked back on her heels, the taste of metal hot on her tongue as the world slipped and jostled.

“You’ve got some very defining features. Saw you come in last night and it left an impression.”

Swallowing back the acrid bile flooding her mouth, Devin swore she was not about to pass out in front of him. She had everything to lose and—

“A fucking Omega? Are you kidding me? No. I’m not putting another one on the floor. Get out of here.”

Crumpling in on herself, Devin hugged her middle. There was no stopping the tears that flooded her eyes, ruining the thick lines of kohl and mascara.

“Please, just give me a—”

“I said get out.” Rey was standing, moving around the table. Too big, too intimidating for Devin to stand up to, sending her skittering away before the smoky taste of his anger. “Fucking ridiculous, Beau. You’re the one that carried on about the last one.”

“Sorry, sweetheart. No Omegas on the floor,” Beau said, words a long drawl as he aimed a wicked smile at Devin behind Rey’s back. He added a bounce of pale brows, letting Devin know his game wasn’t done. “Although isn’t Chrissy leaving at the end of the month?”

“What of it?”

“Just saying. I don’t want to do all this damn paperwork. Look at the girl’s past jobs. Clerical shit, right? Might be worth rethinking.”

“What the fuck are you doing, Beau?”

“Hey, c’mon, Danny boy. Girl’s gotta eat. I’m sure she’s willing to do anything to get a job.” Turning cold blue eyes to Devin, his neutral smile held a world of promises, not a one that she trusted.

There was no mistaking what Beau implied. Devin knew what was expected of her. She hated it all the more that he was right. Even as her stomach roiled in protest, she knew she’d do it. All the years of adamantly refusing to become that woman, losing jobs with her protests of doing just that, her disdainful refusal of her landlord’s offer. She knew. Skin chilled despite the sheen of sweat covering her, Devin managed a single step away from the wall before she stumbled on the shattered remains of her pride. Numb, she kicked off the too tall heels, feeling even smaller than she had before as she lost precious inches. Steps refusing to falter now, she closed the space between her and Rey before sinking to her knees before him.

Brushing his hands aside, Devin watched her small fingers tuck into the waist of his slacks as if from a long way off, thumbs sliding in a suggestive circle over the placket covering his zipper. Tipping her head back, she strained to catch furious deep brown eyes. Dark brows scrunched over the bridge of her nose as the Alpha refused to look at her, she took in a steadying breath. Ready to beg.

“I can do data entry, filing, typing, even insurance forms, and I’ve subbed in an accounting firm before. I can even help with that if you want.” Trailing off, she bent to nuzzle his hip, taking a slow breath of his rich musk. Bitter espresso tinged with the hint of something tart, almost fruity. “I’m good at a lot of other things, too.”

“Contrary to what you would like, we do not run a Gods damned whore house, Beau.”

“Please,” Devin whined, whisper quiet as she undid the zipper in one quick move. She reached into the shadowy opening, fingers closing over the heavy weight of him. The unmistakable bulge that had pressed against her cheek moments ago was now in hand. The dark head became wet with his arousal as she eased it into the glaring light. She put him between her lips before he could stop her. Devin laved at velvety skin and took in the thin fluid, swallowed it down and hummed.

Strawberries. Espresso and strawberries.

“Fuck.” Rey’s hand went to the back of her head, uncertain as his fingers tangled in the soft strands of her hair. Not pushing her down, but not pulling her away, either.

“She can take it, man. Trust me.” Beau stretched his legs out with a satisfied groan and picked up the cut crystal glass, prisms dancing over the dimmed walls as he brought it to his lips. Sipping at the gold liquor, he watched with lazy heat in his cerulean gaze as Rey pushed Devin’s head down. “She can start tonight.”

“She starts right the fuck now.” Rey threw his head back, groaning as he cradled Devin’s head. His fingers clenched in her hair, tugging it free of the loose ponytail so he could wrap the heavy curls around his hands.

Devin squeezed her eyes shut as Rey’s midnight growls patterned his sounds of pleasure. She didn’t want to enjoy any part of this, to get lost in the overwhelming sensations pummeling her body from every direction. Yet, with each quiet resonance, every intoxicating taste of him, a little more of her sanity slipped away.

Her mouth opened wider, letting him deeper. Breathy sighs tumbling free from her lips to accompany the sinful decadence of her sucking mouth. Soon enough, Rey didn’t have to tug her down those last inches. Her throat worked as she struggled to take him, but she fisted the snug belt at his waist to help her. Pulling him in to every downward stroke of her swollen lips, she hummed as espresso and strawberries filled her senses. Made her hunger for more.

Tongue working, she drew the flavor of his arousal to the surface again and again. She crooned her enjoyment as the intoxicating scent wiped away the last of her reserves. He wasn’t cruel, didn’t jerk her around. Rey cradled her head between his hands as he let Devin control the exchange. This part she allowed herself to enjoy. As his sounds grew louder and more vicious, another rush of slick stained her thighs and Devin worked her legs against each other to ease the ache between them.

When his knot began to swell, she tried to maintain the steady pace he’d set with the bucking of his hips, but she couldn’t keep up. Not as he hunched over her, twisting her hair in his grip to wrench her forward until her mouth stretched as wide as it could to accept the growing bulge at his base. Though she whined as the tender skin at the corners of her lips burned with the strain, she didn’t try to stop him. Instead, Devin worked her tongue against the hard flesh, sucking along the length the moment her lips could once against close over his shaft.

At the first hint of torn skin, Rey forced her head back. Crushing her lips against the large knot, he snatched her hand from his belt and guided it to grip him. Devin didn’t need to be told twice. Her fists came to the swollen girth, encircling the bulge and squeezing. Matching the rhythmic pull with hard suction, she urged him closer to the edge.

“Fuck! Tighter,” Rey hissed above her, bucking as the first thick surge of come flooded her mouth.

Devin tightened her grip, adding a twist of her palms to her ministrations. Rey’s guttural sound of pleasure sent a thrilling shot of delight through her, urging her to work the pulsing knot with firm strokes. Listening to the Alpha curse and moan above her, an odd sense of power buffeted her even as she choked on the copious fluid, much of it spilling over her lips to spatter her chest and stain her shirt.
