And in the process, I saved her from a fate worse than death.
She wasn’t ready for that truth yet.
Ransom reached out, nudging her chin up until she was looking at him. His eyes scanned hers.
“Do you want to come again?” I asked. She shook her head, still breathing heavily. “For him?” I caught her firm nipple in my fingers, twisting it softly this time, knowing she would be sore from all of my punishment. I was rewarded with a beautiful moan.
Even so, Ransom’s growl was a warning.
“Sounds like a yes,” I murmured, rocking into her slowly. Her nails bit into Ransom’s forearm as she scrambled to dignify herself while her body betrayed her once more. “What if he helped, Gem?” I breathed in her ear. “How hard would you squeeze me if he had his tongue down your throat?”
I loved how easy it was to learn her truths with my knot buried deep within her, feeling her body tense up whenever I saidjustthe right thing.
I rocked into her again, and the nails digging into Ransom’s arms were more insistent. Her eyes were wide, holding his, and there was pleading in them. Not for freedom. No, right now she wanted to be trapped between us.
“You’re going to have to ask him,” I breathed in her ear, rocking into her again and cupping her chin in my hands like a gift.
“W-would you kiss me?” she asked. There was something broken and vulnerable in that question.
Ransom was swallowed completely by her gaze, and I knew in that moment, no one else existed in the world but her.
I drove my knot deeper.
She moaned, and he caved, drawing her into a kiss more gentle and caring than I’d believed Ransom capable of.
Her exhaustion just made the orgasm stronger, and I loved how she trembled against me, her body clenching once more over my cock. I groaned, spilling into her again, and this time she was so full that I felt some of my cum drip between her thighs, my swollen knot unable to lock it all in.
I rode the orgasm out to its fullest, until she was a trembling puddle in Ransom’s arms, and my knot finally released her.

SHATTER
Despite the week’s events, I wasn’t going to fail school for the sake of going into heat and nesting with Ransom—thankGod.
On Friday morning, Dusk provided me with coursework, and I spent the morning with Ransom’s arms around my waist in the nest while I studied.
I was interrupted in the afternoon when Dusk popped his head in,rudelyignoring the fact thatIwas ignoringhim, and told me he wanted Ransom to do a trial night without me.
“The whole night?” I asked, my voice high.
“We have to know if he’s stable without you, or we won’t know what’s going on.”
Ransom remained voiceless, and I was trying not to take it as a personal failure. He was gentle and sweet, I just knew it, and he wasinthere. I thought he even understood what I was saying when I talked him through Aura Studies equations.
I fought the pout on my face as Ransom went stiff, drawing me close.
“Will you chain him up again?” I asked.
“No. Umbra will stay overnight with him—With you,” Dusk amended, eyes darting to Ransom, and I saw his spark of hope again.
By four in the afternoon, I’d scent marked most of Ransom’s room and tucked him in six times, despite the fact it wasn’t bedtime, (Umbra was setting up video games).
The apartment had been fixed while Ransom and I were down in the nest, and his bedroom had been given life, with couches and a TV, and even a few posters across the walls featuring bands I didn’t recognise. Not that I knew many musicians outside of the opera singers Aunty Lauren liked to hum along to.
I’d also given him a bite on the neck in case anything drastic happened, and I had to know right away. I wasn’t going to do this by halves. Ransom was getting better, and I’d see it through.
The last I saw before Dusk dragged me away was Ransom’s beautiful green eyes fixed on me longingly, video game controller in his grip as Umbra helped shoo me out.
