Slick (The Grayverse #1)

CHAPTER FIVE

“…even if I die on this backseat, I’ve already found my home sweet home.”

A sentiment I’d sneer at like a rabid dog if they’d fallen from any lips except hers.

But my omega means it with every fiber of her perfect body, and her words lodge in my heart like armor-piercing kisses.

An hour in her company, and it’s already more than just a biological bond. I can feel her on a cellular level, and not just in my rock-hard cock, but in the meat of my chest, and deep in the pit of my hindbrain. Doesn’t matter how much steel they pump into my body, nothing will ever be able to dig her out from under my skin.

Diana .

Though I doubt that’s her real name. Like her memories, they stole my omega’s identity when she was sold into slick slavery, reducing her to nothing more than a commodity for them to exploit. I only have pieces of the puzzle right now, but when the whole picture becomes clearer, I’ll know exactly how many severed spines I need to lie at her feet.

But not before I knot her, bite her, and fill her with every ounce of my strength.

When I’m done with her, she’s going to be so goddamn owned , they won’t be able to smell her without pissing themselves in terror.

But first, I have to let her beta poke and prod at the bullet lodged in her arm. He’s all angry eyes and soft hands, but I have his number. He loves her like a puppy dog, and a harsh word from his master is all it takes for him to roll over and show his belly. There’s a well of rage simmering inside me, and I’m tempted to let it burst over him, to drag him away from my omega and leave him in the ditch at the side of the road. He doesn’t deserve her; not when he stood by for so long and let those demon spawn abuse her.

My hands clench as she hisses at the sting of an antiseptic wipe he found in the console, but the next moment, she melts into him, her cheek pressed to his shoulder. He’s murmuring sweet words, and she’s rubbing her face against his shirt, soft purrs falling from her trembling lips. All he’s doing is wrapping a strip of fabric around her arm, but the grateful smile she bestows on him is worth more than all the money in my extensive bank account.

“Enough,” I growl, pulling her away from him and placing her on my lap. “It’s my turn now.”

I plan to take care of my omega in a way that will put his nursing diploma to shame. But I can’t knot her and drive at the same time, which is why his spine is still in his body.

“I should treat you, too,” he replies, pointing his stubborn chin in my direction. “The bullet could have nicked a rib or pierced a lung…”

“Unless you plan on giving my cock a tug, I’d back off, Beta.” He gulps at the gravel in my voice, and I smirk, because a nervous puppy is always amusing. “Then get back behind the wheel and drive us to the governor’s mansion.”

“Really?” The look he flicks down my body is more than insulting. “Why there? Are you on his payroll or something?”

I could tell him exactly why the governor will gladly give us safe passage, but I kind of like making the puppy squirm. “Because big dogs tell yappy little mutts what to do, that’s why.”

He pulls a face, but when his gaze slides to Diana, I know he’s already whipped. He’d do anything for her – except tell her the truth – and I can’t wait to see that weakness bite him on the ass when it all comes out.

As soon as the Hummer is rolling, I tilt her head up and study her face. She’s like a work of art with her full lips and high cheekbones, her eyes the warm gray of a classic thunderbike. Her hair is dark with sweat from the torture device they strapped her into, but I can see caramel highlights where it curls on her cheeks. As my hands span her waist, I marvel at how soft and round she is, with ripe breasts and full hips that twitch under the graze of my thumbs. All those luscious curves and deep dips, like the terrain of some mysterious land I’ve been trying to locate in my dreams…

“Alpha?” she whispers, and while I can see the haze of pain in her eyes, there’s a shadow of self-doubt as well. “Do I look like you expected?”

I’m guessing she can smell the fury boiling under my skin, so I soften my grip, bending down to brush her trembling lips with mine. Just the faintest touch, but it’s already better than anything I’ve ever tasted. “I’m the one in heaven, Omega.”

Not that I’m a religious man – the doors would probably fall off any church I decided to enter – but I’ve worked out that her handlers sold her on a happily ever after. Just keep pumping out the slick and your reward will be in your next life, probably when they sell her off to a geriatric alpha who can barely get it up. But fuck those lying cocksuckers. I’m gonna give her a communion that will make angels weep in envy.

I start by feathering kisses over her face, paying extra attention to her sweet, puckered lips. She watches me like a flower tracking the sun, shivering each time my mouth brushes her skin. Every touch elicits a soft sigh, and if I couldn’t feel the fucking bullet rubbing against my rib, I’d spend my happily ever after right here, just burying her in kisses.

But that’s going to have to wait until we’re safe. We probably have a dozen security vehicles in our wake, and I’m starting to feel a little numb around the edges. “One day,” I tell her as I peel down the zipper to her jumpsuit, “I’m gonna lay you on the hood of my Mustang and lick every inch of this beautiful body.”

She hums like it’s the best thing she’s heard, even though I’m pretty sure she couldn’t pick a Mustang from a Mazda. Just another fucking hole they’ve drilled into her mind and that I plan to plug with the best fucking things life has to offer.

I’m not subtle in my adoration, and she’s squirming by the time I reach her pretty tits. They’re heavy and round, with nipples that pop against my tongue. I suck them until she’s clawing my arms, and my head is filling with steam. When I finally come up for air, her scent is lodged deep in my brain and her pussy is dripping all over my lap. “Time to get inside you, sweet girl.”

She almost sobs in anticipation, grinding down on me as I shove the leather coat aside and grip my throbbing shaft. I’m big, even for an alpha, but she tilts her hips back, presenting her pussy without hesitation. She’s panting so hard I can taste each breath, but my gaze is rooted on her pink, slick-coated channel. I’m a narcissistic pleasure seeker, so it’s not the first dripping gash I’ve seen, but it might as well be magnetized the way it draws me in. If I had the time and space, I’d fall to my knees and eat her for days, but I settle for swirling my thick head through her folds, her little fingernails digging into my shoulders like anchor points.

“ Please , Alpha,” she sobs, pushing forward with all the inevitability of the tide. “I need you to claim me!”

“Already done,” I reply, clenching my teeth so I don’t lean straight down and bite her. “This is just the icing, sweet girl.”

Although the silken clutch of her body is better than any dessert, her channel so slick and greedy I slide the whole way in without a hitch. I watch the realization in her widening eyes, those fierce little nails now drawing blood to the surface. She’s stuffed so full I can see the shadow of my cock in her belly, but she just drops her head back on her shoulders and lets out a carnal moan. “ More. ”

I grunt, gripping her hips so I can draw her back and plunge in again. I’m not gentle, but she doesn’t need it, her juices more than enough to ease the stretch. “Like this?” My knot is already swelling, and I groan at the thought of plugging her shut, her belly full to bursting with my seed. It will heal her, like I promised, but it will also change her body chemistry. We’ll be linked, tighter than twins, and anyone who scents her will know she has a mean motherfucker for a mate.

She moans again as I shuttle back and forth inside her, every thrust making her tits bounce against my chest and her toes curl along my calves. I kiss her until her tongue is sucking hard on mine, and wild images flash through my head. In the murky pit of my hindbrain, I watch as my beauty is held down by an inked hand, kisses torn from pouting lips as she squirms on an Armani-covered lap. I watch as all the sweet layers are peeled back and all the pretty, pink gloss is rubbed off. She takes us all, and gives us everything, until she’s getting fucked on her knees while also slurping on a cock, eyes blown to the size of moons as she howls for more. I watch her take my brothers until she’s a dripping, scratching mess, until she owns them , and her orgasm is so violent it squirts her slick across our faces…

“How can it feel this good, Alpha?”

She’s clinging to me as she gasps in my ear, and I push those intrusive bastards from my mind, because right now, this moment belongs to me . “Because we’re mates, Omega. You were made for me, and I was made for you.”

She licks across my beard, biting down on my bottom lip as her pussy clenches my shaft. “I never thought it could feel like this,” she purrs, her fingers tangling in my hair and tugging on my sweaty mane. I’m a stinking, bloody wreck after a week in the basement, but she doesn’t seem to care, her gaze glued to my exposed throat like she wants to take a bite out of me. “I don’t ever want you to stop, Alpha.”

“I won’t,” I vow, pushing in so deep I see stars. “I’m going to fuck you so often, my chest hair will be engraved on your sweet tits.”

She giggles, but my knot is getting impatient, and she sucks in her breath as it pushes hard against her folds. She’s already stuffed so full, it probably feels like I’m about to breach her with a battering ram. I watch as her eyes roll into the back of her head, but she’s biting her lip and grinding down on me like she wants to consume me, body and soul. And then she begs in her sweet, strung-out voice, “Alpha, give me more! I need to feel every thick inch inside me.”

I catch sight of the beta watching from the driver’s seat, and I’m pretty sure he has a hand down his pants since I can only see one on the wheel. Poor pup, he must be frothing at the mouth with all the pheromones drenching the air. I give him a lascivious smile as I tilt her hips, pushing my knot deeper until it pops inside. “That’s it, Omega,” I tell her as she moans and clenches down on me. There’s not a sliver of room left inside her, and my balls ache to fill her up. “Ride me, goddess. Ring me dry and take everything I give you.”

She does exactly that, her hips jerking even though we’re locked together by my knot. Every tug is like a lightning bolt to my balls, my shaft so swollen and sensitive I’m making grinding noises in the back of my throat. She matches them with breathless little moans, tears leaking from her eyes as our gazes lock. It’s all it takes for me to flood her with my cum, her own release a broken shout as I pump everything I possess into her perfect body.

“Alpha! Alpha! Alpha!”

It’s a chant in my ear that grows stronger as my seed goes to work. Alpha cum is both a balm and a booster, and she rocks on my cock, her trembling muscles clenching tighter as my strength flows into her. She tosses her head back, riding me harder, and I can’t help but smile at the greedy way she milks me.

“Take it all, Omega. My strength and seed are yours.”

She hums in appreciation, but the next moment, she’s clawing at the bandage on her arm and staring in wonder at the small pucker of red skin. It’s accelerated healing as only a powerful mate can provide, and her eyes shine with wonder as she says, “You fixed me, Alpha.”

All those fantasies of hood fucks and pack orgies suddenly fade. Next time, I want her in a cozy nest filled to the brim with her favorite things. I want it to be sweet and slow, full of long, deep kisses and soft, tender touches. I want to rock inside her so gently, she can’t tell where she ends, and I begin.

“Kane,” I tell her, pressing one of those adoring kisses to her swollen lips. “Your mate’s name is Kane.”

“Kane and Diana.” The wonder is still there, but there’s a slight hitch to her words, like her own name is wrapped in a tattered memory. “Thank you, Kane. For your knot, and your seed, and for making me feel like I finally belong.”

The temptation to bite her is so irresistible, I have to turn my head and sink my teeth into my own arm.

“This is just the beginning, Diana,” I tell her when I’ve recovered enough to speak. “I’m going to bond you and breed you until you never feel alone again.”

She squirms, her body clenching down on me, but without a claiming bite my knot is already softening. The loss is enough to make me howl, but I won’t endanger her any further. When she’s behind the titanium doors of my brother’s mansion, I will sink my teeth so deep inside her she will feel me every time she swallows.

“Listen to me, Beta,” I snarl, and my mate shudders, like I’ve woken her from a dream. It’s cruel, but all that matters now is her safety, and I make sure her beta knows that as I pin him with my darkest look. “You don’t go home. You don’t call anyone. You drive straight to the mansion and ask for the governor.”

The beta’s eyes crackle with sudden fire. “Yeah, because he’ll be thrilled to have a bullet-ridden, blood-soaked gangster’s car in his drive.”

I grind my teeth, but my tongue is swollen, and I can feel my eyelids starting to droop. There’s a sour edge to my scent, and while I’m soaked in my omega’s sweet slick, even that is starting to fade. My arms are around her, but instead of promising strength and safety, they suddenly flop to my sides like dead weights.

“You have to fix him, Dex,” my mate cries out, clutching my face. Her frightened, watery gaze swims in my vision as I slump back against the seat, my head lolling. “Please don't let him die.”

“I'm not going to....”

Fuck me. I sound like a breathless kitten, and despite the perfect view in front of me, I can’t stop my eyes from rolling back in my head. Diana screams, and the car swerves, the brainless beta almost driving us into a ditch.

“Kill us, and I’ll kick your stupid puppy ass…”

At least, that’s what I’m trying to say. Although the most that comes out is a whimper as darkness swarms over me, dragging me away from my sobbing mate.
