While I appreciate Silas' continued education about my sex life, I need someone to stick their knot in me. Now.
"You either put those teeth away or you use them," Jarek warns me right before he slams his cock into my drenched pussy.
Molten lava swirls low in my belly and my walls grip him like I'm terrified he'll leave. The slow, silky drag of his veins and head through my channel makes me whimper and writhe.Oh, it's so good.
Jarek doesn't leave me much of a choice when he just about pulls all the way out. Lashing out, I use both of my hands to drag him back down and sink my teeth into his shoulder. Only a mating bite will scar, so this one is just for fun and to soothe my hindbrain and drive our pleasure higher. It’ll fade within the next few hours, much to my omega’s dismay.
"You got me," Jarek grunts, palming the back of my head as he ruts into me like a man in love. "My omega."
The grind of his pelvis against my clit hits just right now that we're pressed together. My tongue flicks out to soothe the temporary wound on his shoulder right before I scream out in ecstasy. "ALPHA!"
The moment his knot slots into place, locking us together for the foreseeable future, my eyesight dims but my arms cling tighter.Don't let me go.
"Rest, Butterfly. We're all here with you."
His reassurance and my mates surrounding me, allow me to fall into the deepest sleep I’ve had in a long time.
Jarek was right; connecting physically and giving them my submission is exactly what I needed.
Twenty-Seven
Riot
Jarek assured me it's not weird to watch Vivian sleep. Maybe if I weren't so completely obsessed with her I wouldn't have agreed. He suggested I try counting her eyelashes to see how many I could get until I was distracted by her lips twitching or the rise and fall of her chest.
It's an interesting challenge, and I've come to realize how hard it is. My top count is twenty-three mainly because I’d rather watch her breathe all day long. There were moments in captivity when I feared she wouldn't wake up. The times I couldn't get close enough to check if she was alive are burned into my psyche.
I feel an immense amount of pressure when I'm left alone with her when she's sleeping. Hell, any time. Rationally, it's kind of fucked up because Vivie doesn't need a babysitter and she's almost completely healed, but holy shit is it hard to accept that.
I’m so damn glad she hasn’t had a nightmare during her nap. The guys all left me alone with her an hour ago when it was clear she was out like a light from being knotted to Jarek.
Lying here in the quiet has given me time to think. It's time for my eye patch to come off, but I’m not sure if I'm ready. Silas has it marked on the calendar in the kitchen, and I'm hopingeveryone forgets. They said it was just a small slice, but I'm fucking terrified I'll be blind out of that eye.
Would they view me differently then?
I want the entirety of my vision back so when I study the contours of my omega's face, I can seeeverything. Sometimes looking at her hurts. Like my chest physically fucking aches with the amount of love I have for her.
Kade said that was normal which I appreciated, but it's so damn terrifying. How can someone like me love so much?
I've never had a family or anyone who cared about me. I always thought myself to be incapable of emotional depth, but Vivian is bringing out a whole new side I didn't think existed.
I plan to be the best man I can be for her. That includes avenging her.
"Riot?"
Sucking in a breath, I glance up and away from her naked chest. "I wasn't just staring at your tits I swear. I was watching your breaths to make sure you were okay."Damn it, this looks so bad...
A twinkly giggle comes from her, lighting me up with so much joy I want to squeeze her.Is this what affection aggression is?
Her eyes flit down my bare torso and widen when she sees the tent in my boxers.Shit. "That's what we call an affection erection, Firefly. I swear to fuck I wasn't being a creep. I was just thinking about how much I love you."
Vivian gasps and sits up. Confused, I watch her stare down at me. Before I can ask her what's wrong, she hikes a leg over my hips and straddles me still completely naked.
"I love you too, Riot."
My cock jumps against her wet heat and my heart seizes in my chest. "I—You—Nobody has ever said that to me, Vivian," I croak out. "I love you too."
She nods. "I know. You said it when you were explaining your boner."
