She was an angel on Earth. My Angel.OurAngel, meant for us.

“What if I don’t want to help you or this syndicate?” She crossed her arms over her chest and widened her stance. I wasn’t sure where this spark came from, but I loved it. She was feisty when we were teens, but this was fucking intoxicating.

“I’ll find ways to convince you.” A wicked grin spread across my face before I licked my lips suggestively. They would be such fun and enticing ways. Ones that we’d all thoroughly enjoy.

Alexis sucked in a sharp breath as her pupils dilated. A fresh wave of her fresh lavender scent filled the air. It revived me. My brain recognized the scent and soaked up every ounce of it.

Familiar.

Home.

She had always been what home felt like. It didn’t matter if I was in Italy or America. As long as she was with me, I was home.

“Lexi, come here.” I beckoned her over and patted my thigh. “It’s been so long, and still your scent is like a drug. I need more of it.” My voice was little more than a growl when I finished.

I didn’t think it was going to work. Maybe fifty-fifty odds? Alexis had always been fiercely independent. After what she’d experienced as a teenager, I didn’t blame her. I loved her sass, to be honest. She was only of the only people who ever had the nerve to talk back to me.

Especially after my uncle had found me and molded me into who I was today.

But when it came to desire and sex, Alexis had deferred to my lead. She was a submissive in the bedroom.

My Angel didn’t disappoint me today.

After a reluctant shake of her head, she moved toward me and climbed onto the bed. I grasped her hips and lifted her to sit over my lap. As if the last ten years had melted away, she fell into my arms, and our bodies instantly recognized each other.

“Good girl,” I growled as my fingertips bit into her waist. I lifted my torso so we were aligned and bent my head to her neck. Fuck, she smelled so good. My nose dragged up the long column of her throat before my tongue darted out and licked back down.

She wiggled against me, grinding herself down on my swollen cock without meaning to. My hands slid down to grasp her hips, holding her still. My lips brushed over her ear. “If you don’t want to take my knot right now, I suggest you stay still.”

Her eyes fluttered shut as she drew her bottom lip between her teeth. Her hands loosely rested on my shoulders, contracting slightly as her need grew. The very essence of her arousal permeated the air, drowning us all in her intoxicating pheromones.

“She smells like she’s about to go into heat,” Miko groaned. “Fuck, is this what the rut feels like? I can’t think beyond breeding her.”

His words barely penetrated through the haze of lust. But he was right. It felt like The Rut.

And Alexis smelled like she was about to start her heat cycle.

“Lexi, have you taken your suppressants for the month yet?”

Her brows furrowed into a delicate V. Her cloudy eyes slowly returned to full awareness as she gasped. She tried to run away from me without thought, but I held her tight.

“Cormac,” I barked out, my gaze not lifting from Lexi’s light steel blue eyes. “Go get the emergency supply.”

“Where?”

“In my office, the fridge behind the bar.” Thank fucking Christ I’d thought at least a little far ahead and prepared the emergency doses of the best quality suppressants on the market.

Cormac returned in no time, but Lexi still whimpered and tried to rock herself against me.

“Shh, baby girl. This is going to make you feel better.” I held my hand out the moment Cormac walked into the room, and he obediently placed the auto-injector into my palm. I popped off the cap and twisted the end to unlock it.

I lifted the hem of her shirt to reveal her thigh. “Look at me, okay?” She nodded, and her hand slid around to cup the back of my neck.

I placed the object on her skin and pushed the button. The device clicked, and the needle descended to administer the medicine. She shivered in my arms, her body trembling as the drug rushed through her system.

After several minutes, I was finally able to breathe deeply. Her scent dissipated, and her heart rate slowed.

“Better?” I murmured, my lips skating over her neck. “I don’t want to have you go into heat until you’re fully ready, my Angel. Only then will we service you, knot you, and plant our seed in your womb.” My teeth sank into her flesh, and I savored the sound of her sweet cries of pleasure/pain. “And the best part about it is, you’ll be begging for it all.”
