We both come up for air, chests heaving, eyes banked with longing for one another. It only heightens everything, sending us diving back in for more at the same time. It’s messy, and it’s hot, and it’s everything I’ve been craving. Ryland grows bolder, his hand teasing down my side as he kisses the ever-loving shit out of me. I fist my own hand in his hair, trying to physically pull his mouth against mine harder. His champagne fizzles on my tongue. God, he tastes amazing.

A whine comes out of my throat and it’s as if I yanked a thread from Ryland, completely unraveling him.

“Fuck, Ver,” he growls with all the bark of an alpha, despite being a beta. He pulls away and the longing in his gaze sears me from the inside out. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes,” I breathe. “Please.”

He still doesn’t seem completely sold, but I am. Now I have to convey it to him because I don’t care about this stupid show or anyone else. Ryland is mine. Damn the consequences. “If we do this, there’s no coming back from it.”

“I know, and I don’t care. It has to be you, Ry. It’s always been you.”

He groans and the sound of it sends a pang of lust straight between my thighs. “You’ll be my undoing, Ver.”

“Good,” I respond, closing the distance between our lips once more.

This time our kiss is softer, more indulging as he slowly teases me, drawing me to the peak of desire. My thighs shift, seeking something to ease the ache. He picks up my hand resting on his chest and kisses the center of my palm. At the same time, I place a soft kiss against his neck and he shudders. I tuck that piece of information away for later, wanting to memorize all the spots that make him tick.

More slick floods my shorts, the room smelling overwhelmingly like my pear perfume and making me press my thighs together, trying to alleviate the mounting throb I can’t ignore. The next thing I know, Ryland’s hand moves between them. We break apart and he shifts me to where my back is against his chest and my head is resting on his shoulder. He pushes the thin piece of my sleep shorts covering my core to the side, baring me to the cool air, and brushes his fingertip against my clit. The simple action causes me to jerk and suck in a breath. It’s like electricity dances over my skin, waking every nerve ending with the promise of pleasure.

“I’ve got you,” he rasps, using his other hand to hold me in place as he repeats the motion. My legs automatically want to press together to keep his hand there, but he doesn’t let me. “Spread your thighs for me, Ver. Let me in.”

Instantly, I widen for him and he rewards me by keeping his fingers on my clit longer, stroking me before bringing his index finger to my entrance and slipping inside. “Ry,” I whisper. The sensation is strange at first, but when he curls to find that perfect spot inside me, everything fades away but the feeling of him against me and his finger inside me. And I get to watch it all from my position.

Eventually, he adds another finger, warming me up even further. Which is probably a good thing because his cock is pressed against my ass and it’s fucking big. So big I have no idea how it’ll fit inside me, but at this point, I’m ready to try. Who cares if I split in half?

Ryland circles his fingers around the spot I want instead of actually on it and it’s enough to drive me mad. I shift my hips to direct him to the spot, but he only chuckles in my ear. “Come for me, Ver,” he murmurs, seconds before he rubs his thumb directly over my clit and I do. I come for him, muffling the scream with my palm. With my luck, someone would overhear and come rushing in here, and that’s the last thing we need.

Pleasure explodes behind my eyelids with vivid colors and it takes a moment for me to come back to earth. Once I do, I glance at him, finding him watching me like I’m the only person left on the planet.

“Take me, Ry. Make me yours.”

He doesn’t need any further encouragement, banding his arms around me as he moves us from the couch to the giant bed. Suddenly, I understand why it’s so large. Makes sex so much easier when you have as much room as you could possibly need. Hell, it’s probably big enough for five or six people. Nope, don’t go there, Verity. No thoughts of the alphas.

Ryland sits me on the side of the mattress and stands between my slick covered thighs. His fingertips graze across my skin as he helps me out of my nightclothes, using every opportunity to tease me with his touch. Each time it draws a sound of pleasure from me until I’m left bare before him. Every barrier between us is gone. Mentally and physically.

His gaze drinks me in, lapping up the sight of me like he may never see it again. Not if I have my way. I never want to stop being with Ry. “You’re fucking beautiful, Verity.” His voice comes out deeper than usual, like emotion is clogging his throat. He also used my full name, which he rarely does anymore, and it unlocks another piece inside of me.

My best friend tilts my head to the side and runs his nose along my neck, trailing kisses to my breasts. He cups one in his hands, and carefully tweaks my nipple between his fingers, causing another bolt of lust to shoot straight between my thighs.

“Ry,” I all but whine. “I feel like I’m going to combust.”

He chuckles. “That’s the point, Ver. I plan on making you combust over and over again. On my fingers? Check.“ He ticks off like a mental checklist. “On my tongue, that’s where I’m heading next, exactly like I mentioned earlier. And then?” he says, although it comes out as more of a question.

“And then?” I prod, breathless with anticipation.

“Then you’ll come all over my cock. But first, I want to prepare you for it.” Without a warning, Ryland kneels in front of me and runs his palms along my inner thighs, pushing them farther apart to give him better access. My breath catches in my throat seeing his jade eyes sparkle as he takes me in, and then our gazes lock. I’m transfixed on him, my heart pounding a mile a minute waiting for what comes next. His hands shift, sliding under my ass to lift my pussy to his face like I’m his dinner and he’s about to devour me like his filet mignon.

“Ohhhh, fuck,” I curse when his tongue lazily circles my clit, and my fingers naturally slide into his blond hair, tugging on the strands in encouragement. It makes him moan into my core and I can’t help but do it again a little harder. I feel him smile against me before his teeth scrape my little bundle of nerves and my head falls back in pleasure. I lose myself completely to the sensations while he fucks me with his mouth.

The now familiar pressure builds and builds in my core and this time, I come with all the grace of an easy crescendo—like music reaching its peak, so do I. Slick flows from me as Ryland continues his motions, licking every last drop I give him. “Ryland, I need you,” I urge, using his full name so he knows how serious I am.

I stare at him as he wipes my juices from his chin. With a groan, he pops his finger into his mouth and sucks it clean. It’s like he severs my self control, making me wild with need. If I don’t get him naked right now, I swear I’ll explode.

My movements speed up and I reach for the bottom of his shirt, yanking it over his head. After that, I go for the button on his pants, deftly undoing it, and shoving them to the floor, leaving him only in his boxer briefs. I get my first view of his huge cock outlined perfectly in them and my eyes widen. Omegas are built to take a knot, but Ryland’s massive—thick in all the right ways. He’s the perfect man to prep me for an alpha’s knot. And it means so much that it’s happening with him.

My best friend laughs like he senses the direction of my thoughts. “Don’t worry, Ver. It’ll fit.”

“How’d you know that’s what I was thinking?” I ask, but he only grins before tugging the last layer separating us down his muscular thighs. The sight makes my mouth water as his dick springs free and bobs in front of me. There’s a tiny bead of liquid on the tip, and I find myself leaning forward to taste it. The flavor is exactly like he smells—bubbly champagne, with a hint of that fizzy bite, and maybe even a little citrus—as I slip his head into my mouth.
