I happily oblige, lining myself up again before slipping inside her. She mewls, grabbing for me with eager hands, and I lean down over her, my mind growing hazier.
She moans in my ear, sending a chill skittering down my back, and I take another deep breath of the honey pouring off her. It’s intoxicating, enough to shock my nervous system into action, and I lean down to bite the side of her neck.
I bite hard, my teeth breaking her flawless skin, and the taste of honey explodes in my mouth, even though I know it isn't real. I'm barely aware of what's happening as I mark her, my teeth leaving their impression permanently on her skin as she pants breathlessly in my ear.
She's chosen me, and my alpha has clearly chosen her. The omega pull, combined with my insatiable need to claim her, takes over, and when I pull back, there’s a gold circle glowing on her skin.
The symbol of a chosen bond.
Her channel tightens around me, and I press further into her until my knot slips inside. As her second climax pulls her under and she squeezes down hard on my cock, my balls tighten until I’m coming with her.
I fill her to the brim with cum, rocking my hips slightly as my knot massages her from within. When I’m completely spent and my knot deflates, I tumble onto the bed beside her and close my eyes, willing myself to rest and recoup before round two undoubtedly starts soon.
The last thing I see before I slip into unconsciousness is my glowing golden mark shimmering on her skin, the delicious, undeniable scent of honey wrapping around us like a ceremonial blanket.

The first thing I’m aware of when the haze of my heat passes is the sickly-sweet smell of honey perfume clinging to my skin. It’s rich and potent, drenching the room, and I know exactly what it means.
I claimed Alessandro as my mate.
While perfuming honey doesn’t create a bond or solidify a mate claim, it’s powerful magic that drives alphas wild. If an omega is close enough to one when they perfume honey, most alphas aren’t able to withstand the natural impulse to mark and claim them.
Judging by the ache of a fresh mate bond on the side of my neck, the honey did its job.
Alessandro is my mate.
A swift lurch in my chest makes me gasp.
My fingers rush to the mark, and I wince as my fingers skim over the skin. It’s sore and crackling with energy, our bond wide open, and I become hyper-aware of Alessandro’s naked body next to me. He’s knocked out, softly snoring away, recouping from fucking me through my heat.
How long did this one last?Two days? Three?
I’m sticky and sweaty, and my muscles hurt. I’m in desperate need of a shower, but I just lay there for several minutes, accepting my new reality.
I’m a bonded omega once again, and while the thought would have scared the shit out of me several weeks ago, the thought is comforting now.
Despite everything, Alessandro still claimed me.
The thought puts a goofy smile on my face, and I roll over to plant kisses along the side of his face. He grunts sleepily in response.
“Are you going to work today?” I whisper in his ear, dancing my fingers gently along his bare back.
He’s so handsome; I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of staring at him, at how the light catches the light streaks in his hair, making them gleam like real silver, or the way his brows naturally furrow when he’s asleep.
He’s gorgeous, and he’s all mine.
“No,” Alessandro grunts, his eyes still closed. “Gian Luca’s got it covered.”
“Oh. Am I going to work today?” I ask, running my fingers gently through his hair.
“No.” One of his eyes pops open to look at me before he pulls me into his arms. “If I had it my way, you’d never go to work ever again.”
I giggle, nestling my face against Alessandro’s chest. “Good thing you don’t always get your way, huh?”
He tilts my chin up so I meet his narrowed eyes. “Good thing I want you to do what makes you happy,” he says, one of his eyebrows raising toward his hairline. “Do you really want to go back to work at the restaurant?”
