Orion wipes his own tears and pulls himself together while I look on like a useless fuck.
“Sorry,” he says through glistening eyelashes. “Didn’t mean to ruin the mood.”
Shit.
He should never apologize to me.
“Orion.”
His gaze flicks to my face. Biting his lip, he rises, trying to steal a kiss, to pretend that shit didn’t happen. No matter that I’m hard as fuck, dying to pound into him, I tug him back by his hair, dragging him into the pillow.
He lets out a moan so throaty my balls bounce.
We’ll revisit that.
“Orion,” I bark but I don’t have the heart to force him if he won’t admit what’s wrong. My voice softens, a request and not a command. “Tell me.”
He melts under my dominance, sagging against the pillow.
“I miss you.”
The words are a bullet between the brows. My ribs tighten, heavy with the weight of all my wrongs. “I know I haven’t been around. The Red—”
“It’s not that. It’s this.” Orion squeezes my shoulders, pulling me harder against his length.
“I always want you.” I grind my hard cock against his jeans, letting him feel that nothing has changed between us. Nothing will ever change between us.
“That’s not true.” He shakes his head, another stab to my chest. “Fuck. I’m the worst omega.”
“No.” I tip his chin and force him to look me in the eyes. Please, let him see what he means to me. “You’re mine.”
“Lilah.”
I flinch.
“You like her.” He tilts his head, curious instead of fucking pissed.
He should be pissed. “You like her too.”
“There’s something about her.” He strokes the back of my neck, making my balls tighten. We need to have this conversation, but my cock’s an impatient dick who doesn’t understand why my omega’s still fully clothed when we have him pinned underneath us.
I force myself to engage my upper brain.
“Maybe she’s playing games with us.” Maybe it’s all a lie. A ploy to slip under our skin.
If it is, it’s fucking working.
“She saved my life.”
I drop on top of him, pressing my face to the hollow of my mate’s neck. Dragging my nose over my bite, I drink in his pulse and his scent and the way he shivers underneath me.
All to make sure that he’s still alive.
It was so close.
If Lilah didn’t react, Orion would already be buried.
That’s all I need to know. She saved him, and we owe her.
