Her lips touch my throat, her kiss making me strangle a growl. “I want it. Please, Kylian. Give it to me.”
Her skin is flushed as she writhes against me. We’d thought she might not be telling the whole truth about the approach of her heat, and it looks like we were right. She’s in heat, and if I don’t think of something that doesn’t involve knotting her, her arousal will grow so intense I can’t ignore it any longer.
I hold her still, fighting my alpha instincts. It’s a bare-knuckle ride when I’ve wanted Everleigh since I first saw her.
“You will hate yourself if we did this,” I say.
And me. You’ll hate me.
A soft cough drags my attention from the flushed woman writhing in my lap. Rune is in the doorway. I press my back to Everleigh’s headboard and try to focus.
His amber eyes are dark with arousal. He smells Everleigh’s potent omega pheromones and he wants to act on them as much as I do.
“Rune?” I ask, biting off a moan when Everleigh rubs her ass on my cock.
“Cian’s gone to get suppressants.” His voice is thick as his breathing deepens, his eyes drifting from me to the woman shifting restlessly on me. Like he can’t help but look. Because he can’t. “He said they kissed, and it turned into… Well, this.”
If an omega’s heat is close enough, a kiss, heavy petting, or more can trigger her full-blown heat. I really fucking hope this is just an early flare and not her full-blown heat. Because if it is, no suppressant in the world is going to do a goddamn thing.
“How long did he say he’d be?” I groan.
Please let him be ten minutes. I don’t know that I can hold myself back much longer.
The muscles in Rune’s arms bunch. It must be taking everything he has to stay right where he is and not fall on Everleigh. I know the feeling. “An hour. Maybe a little less. He’d already found a dealer but was holding back from pulling the trigger until—”
Everleigh bows, her soft lips brushing my throat as she grinds her soft ass on my dick. “Please, Kylian.”
The soft, pained note in her voice draws my gaze to her face. Her eyes are glassy with unshed tears, and she’s staring up at me as if she wants nothing more than this.
“Please give me your knot,” she begs. “I’ll do anything.Please.”
If I give in to these urges, the moment Everleigh comes out of her heat, she will never stay with us. This is the omega in her wanting this. She’s not ready for this. Or us.
When I don’t move, she tries to impale herself on me.
I curse, rolling us and trapping her beneath me, trying to hold her writhing body still. “Stop, baby. You’ll hurt yourself.”
Her cheeks are wet and her mint-green eyes are glistening as she stares up at me. “Please, Kylian. I need you.Please.”
Fuck.
I thought hell was a place filled with demons, with whips and pitchforks and the devil.Thisis hell. Wanting to help Everleigh, needing to stop her pain but knowing the one way I can will make her hate me.
I press my forehead to her throat and try to silence the raging beast inside me driving me to rip the clothes off my omega and take her. Everleigh is mine. She’s begging for me. She wants me. But I shake as I fight to think past the need filling my brain. It’s impossible. All I smell is her. All I feel is her. I can’t think straight.
A hand grips my shoulder.
I wrench my head up. Rune meets my eye and says, “Move over.”
He’s still fighting his instincts from the tension in his jaw and the gruff note in his voice, but he’s holding himself back from taking her. For now. I scoot over on the bed, and Rune stretches out beside Everleigh and me. Turning her face into his chest, he cards his fingers through her hair.
And he purrs.
Like the big gold lion we’ve all heard the whispers that Rune resembles, he purrs loud enough to fill the room with the sound.
Everleigh sighs and presses her face harder against Rune’s chest. He purrs again, still slowly combing his fingers through her hair.
She clenches a fist in his shirt as she turns her body fully into his. As if she doesn’t just need to hear those purrs, she needs to feel the vibrations as well. She probably does.
