EASTON
Olive was curled up on my lap, arms and legs around me with my knot deeply seated inside her.
I wasn’t ready to let go.
A flood of emotions that didn’t belong to me wrapped around my heart. Olive was so convinced she wasn’t my sunshine, but here she was, filling my soul with the brightest light. I’d spent my early childhood alone and scared, trying to ride out my mom’s abuse until Lars, Finn, and their families changed my life with their love and stability. Now Olive was transforming it again.
I licked and sucked at the bond mark I’d placed on her skin, and she did the same, every brush of her lips a shock of pleasure straight to my cock.
The longer we sat there, the more I came back to myself. When I’d heard the door shut, my alpha had pushed to the surface. My world had narrowed until the only thing I was aware of was the hunt for my omega. I’d never gone into a rut like that.
I gently brushed my hand down her back. Her skin was still hot but not as much as it had been these past days. Now that the chase was over, I was fucking freezing with my bare ass pressed against the cold sand .
I lifted my lips from her skin. “Are you okay, baby? Was I too rough?”
She immediately shook her head, meeting my gaze with a soft smile. “Never.” She pressed soft kisses down my jaw. “You’re exactly what I need.”
I groaned and kissed her, getting lost in the drugging sensation of her taste, her warmth, her everything. The only thing that could get me to break away was my need to take care of her.
“I’ve got to get you inside and we need a fucking bath.”
She looked down at her body as if only now becoming aware of our surroundings. She let out a startled laugh as she found herself covered with sand.
Her hips shifted, pulling on my knot, and she let out a little whimper. “I guess we just have to wait.”
“Nah,” I said. I clutched her tighter until I got the right leverage to stand up. She squealed and tightened her hold on me. “I’ll carry you back.”
With every step, my knot shifted inside her. Olive cried out, sucking hard on my bond mark until I was so dizzy with arousal I could barely walk. We were only halfway back up the beach when she clamped down on me so hard it forced another orgasm from me. My legs shook with the effort to stay standing as I spilled inside her again, my cum sealed inside her by my knot.
Olive giggled, the sound like magic. “How’re you doing there, alpha?”
I gave her a half-hearted spank and kept walking. “Trouble.”
“Your trouble,” she said happily, resting her head against my shoulder.
So true.
We managed to make it back to the house, and I walked us straight to the bathroom and turned on the taps. I gently tested my knot and found it had gone down enough to pull out of her. A gush of cum and slick rushed down her thighs, but she wouldn’t let go of me.
“Come on, baby. Let’s get you in the tub.”
Olive made a little sound of protest and clung to me harder. Her eyes were turning glassy again after her moments of lucidity on the beach. My hand supported her ass as I leaned over to shut the water off.
“I’ll be right here next to you.” I ran my hand up and down her back slowly. We were such a mess—covered in cum and dirt and sand—and I knew her muscles had to be sore. I still couldn’t believe my naughty girl had run away, but I couldn’t wait to chase her again.
Olive clung to me tighter and shook her head in protest.
“I need you to be a good girl for me. Let go so I can put you in the bath.” I tried to make myself sound stern, but who was I kidding? Olive had me completely wrapped around her finger.
She started sucking on my bond mark, and my cock hardened. I honestly didn’t know it could still do that after days of marathon sex.
I sighed. I wasn’t going to win this argument. I tightened my hold on her and carefully got in the bathtub that was way too fucking small for both of us. I managed to sit my ass down with my legs awkwardly bent in front of me while Olive’s wrapped around my waist. It was nowhere near comfortable, but when she sighed happily and relaxed against me, it made it all worth it.
“Okay, baby, we’ll make this work. And once your heat is over, we’re getting you a bigger tub.”
“Thanks, alpha,” she whispered.
I ran the washcloth over as much of her skin as I could get to.
“How’re you feeling? Are you sore? Hungry?”
She didn’t respond and I ran my hands down her body, trying my best to massage her muscles.
“I’m happy.”
A lump formed in my throat and a purr roared through my chest. My omega was happy . I had done that, and it was the best fucking feeling in the entire world.
Her fingers trailed down my chest. “I love feeling you.” She cut off with a little sniff, but I knew from the bond it wasn’t sadness she was feeling. “Easton, you’re…you’re everything . I love you so much.”
My throat was tight, my chest filled with stunned gratitude that this was my life. “My sunshine, my bonded.”
We sat there in silence as a whirlwind of emotions played through the bond. Finally, the water grew cold and my legs cramped from how they were contorted in the tub.
I pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. “We should get out.”
A burst of longing and excitement reached me and I smiled, tucking Olive’s hair behind her ear. “You want your other alphas, baby?”
She nodded.
“Let’s go get them.”
