She clenches around me again, her body trembling with an intensity I instantly recognize.
She’s going into heat again.
Right now.
Right here.
With my knot already inside her.
35
CAIUS
Clove’s sweet aroma makes me so fucking hard, I nearly come from the scent alone.
Tieran groans, his head falling to her shoulder. “Fuck.”
Yes. Yes, that’sexactlywhat I want to do.Fuck Clove.
But Tieran is already inside her, his knot claiming the sweet heaven between her thighs.
Volt growls, as do I. Not in anger, but in hunger.
Our mate is going into heat.
Her gaze is liquid black, her pupils blown so wide I can barely see the whites of her eyes. That didn’t happen last time.
Which tells me this is the real deal.
She’s about to lose herself to estrus for days, maybe even a week or more.
And I cannot fucking wait.
“I have to address the pack,” Tieran says, sounding agonized by the mere notion of having to leave her in this state.
But we just suffered a major loss with Alpha Duncan’s death.
And experienced a huge win by taking down Alpha Bryson.
Tieran doesn’t have a choice. This is where his duty as Pack Alpha will have to come first. “You can make it a quick speech,” I tell him. “They’ll understand.”
“Alpha Duncan deserves better,” he whispers, the pain in his voice driven by Clove running her lips along his throat.
She’s not even listening, just tasting.
Because her wolf is leading her now.
Our feisty little hellion, I think, excited to play.
“It’s Caius’s due,” Volt says. “He’ll take care of her while you and I see to the pack.”
“Yes, I’ll take care of our Clove,” I murmur, leaning in to kiss her neck. “I have more than enough saved up tension to keep her occupied.” Even if she makes me come with her scent right now, I’ll still be hard again in seconds.
We’ve been engaged in sensual foreplay for what feels like forever.
I’mveryready to seek our mutual gratification, something I tell her with a kiss. She wraps her palm around the back of my neck, holding me to her as she devours my tongue.
Tieran curses as she arches into him.
