“Come for me again, omega,” he demanded as he slipped his hand around me. His fingers slid over my sensitive clit, setting a rhythm as his knot locked us in place. “You feel so good around me. Hot and warm, fitting me like a glove.”
“Yes,” I breathed out as my next climax started to build. My body shook and I could barely focus on one sensation: his hands, his knots, his ragged breathing in my ear.
“Fuck,” he cursed as he came with me, filling me with his seed and shoving it deeper into me with each thrust. It was raw and claiming, and left me feeling owned by him.
For a moment, I almost wished I wasn’t on birth control, loving the idea that he had claimed me so thoroughly. I shoved that aside quickly. We were nowhere prepared for that stage of life.
“You’re perfect, Ellie,” he told me, placing kisses along my spine as his fingers teased up and down my thighs.
We may have had a bit of a rocky start, but I was glad that my alpha was finally claiming me. Something seemed to settle between us. I could sense his satisfaction along with mine. This was more than a connection created by intimacy, it was a bond settling into place.
He was everything I didn’t know I needed in a mate and it was only the beginning.
Ellie
I’d somehow become the designated runner for this project. Anytime we ran out of supplies at the storefront, it was my job to run out. If I stopped for coffee along the way, well that was no one’s business but mine. This time, someone forgot to order extra nails and they both turned to me.
“I’ll go,” I said as I eyed the beam they were putting into place. Anything to avoid breaking a sweat before ten in the morning.
Thankfully, there was a small, local hardware store just down the street. I didn’t even bother to drive and realized I was doing that more and more here. If I wasn’t careful, my old, trusty pickup was going to die out of protest.
At that point, I knew Henry that works behind the counter well enough that he greeted me with a wave and a smirk. We also had a tab with a card on file which made it so much easier.
In my rush to get what I needed and get back to the guys, I turned the corner a bit too quickly. My breath burst out of me in a rush as I slammed into a brick wall of a man.
Ezra let out a grunt before steadying me with his hands. He raised his eyebrow at me which I was quickly realizing was his favorite thing to do. Somehow, he managed to steady me and not drop the few items he had in hand.
“Where’s the fire?” he asked, looking down at me like I lost my mind. I just gave a sheepish apology.
“I didn’t know you even left your diner,” I joked. The corner of his mouth tipped up in a smile and he shook his head.
“Not very often,” he admitted. “I needed to grab something. One of the shelves behind the counter is loose.”
The alpha was thrown off by my sudden appearance. He was talking more than usual and if my scent was affecting him the way his did me, then I knew he was ready to run the other way. The small space we stood in was flooded with his scent of alpha musk, coffee, and cinnamon. It had my mouth salivating and my body leaning into him instinctively.
“You look different from out here,” I teased as I checked him out openly. “I’m glad I got to witness it.”
He thinned his lips and glared at me. “You’re full of jokes and sass today, aren’t you?” he asked drily.
“Yes… and I’m sorry for running into you. I need to slow down,” I finally admitted.
“You do,” he said simply. The humor behind his voice was also a nice change. He had slowly been warming up to me more and more. I made it a point to start most of my days at the diner. Instead of giving me a menu now, he asked what I wanted. I was officially becoming a local.
Watching the older men tease him about giving me special treatment was also one of the best parts of my day.
He couldn’t even deny it anymore.
“Will I see you for lunch?” he asked. He was leaning in closer now, too, even if he didn’t realize it and his voice had dropped lower. It felt far too intimate for a conversation like this.
“Probably not today. I have to send a few emails so I’ll be running back to the house after we get done here. I’m just going to drop these nails off first, the guys can handle the hard work.” I was definitely rambling now. Between the proximity and scent, I was about to dry hump him here between the aisles of this hardware store.
“Don’t try to underplay your job,” he said. It was an order, his voice firm and commanding. Fuck, it wasnothelping. “They told me you’ve been doing amazing work for them.”
A wicked grin spread across my face. “Oh, asking about me, are we?” I kept my voice teasingly light but inside, I was hopeful he was finally going to step up.
I swear the betas in my potential pack are more forward than the alphas.
They’d seen me hurt on television, knew I’d had a hard time, and, apparently, thought I was fragile. Collin had finally given in. But if Ezra waited too long, I’d take matters into my own hands.
