Chapter 18
Max
Ava never believed me when I told her that her heat would last for days. She thought it was over once she was knotted.
She knows now that’s not the case.
She realized when it came on with a vengeance and since then she’s been in a hazy state. One minute begging to be knotted, the next sleeping off what Silas and I do to her.
Seb has been in and out of the room for the past two days helping her when she refuses to eat.
Silas and I don’t want to share our omega with him, but we allow the two to have some time together. It gives her time to recuperate.
I may be a ruthless man, but I see the benefit of having the beta around. Seb can ground her in a way Silas and I can’t.
But he can’t give her the gentle purrs she needs to calm herself when she gets agitated or scared. And he can’t emit a scent that relaxes her entire body like we can.
My fists clench as I think of what he can do for her.
He makes her laugh, and she’s not once smiled at Silas or me like she has at Seb.
I shouldn’t be fucking jealous, but I am.
She’s my omega. Not his.
I don’t know when I started thinking of Ava being forever in my life. I don’t know when I decided her freedom was no longer hers.
Silas is staring at me again–it’s like the man knows my thoughts.
I never came here for her, not to take her in the permanent sense. I came to make her pay for rejecting me. And for having a beta, and never seeking her scented mate.
Unfortunately for Ava, she’s the only omega who has ever made my cock jerk at her smell. She’s the only omega I was prepared to pay for.
She moves towards me, her eyes locked on mine, and it sends a jolt of electricity through my body and to my cock.
I hate she affects me so visibly.
The air feels thick, charged with tension and need, also with too many pheromones and too much of her perfume.
She licks her bottom lip as she nears me. My hands clench at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I fight to maintain control as she crawls toward me.
“I need to be knotted.” Her high-pitched voice cuts through the sober scene, taking me away from the thoughts I was about to recall.
“Please,” she whines as I push my hand between her thighs and rub the pad of my middle finger over her clit. “I need you to knot me.”
“On your back,” I say, liking that she obeys in an instant.
Her pussy glistens as she widens her legs, and I take a moment to inhale her sensual and perfect perfume.
I smile as I tease her with the tip of my cock, sliding it along her slit before dipping the crown inside.
“Oh fuck, yes!” she moans.
I quickly fill her to the base with one thrust. Her tight heat accepts my cock, and she locks her legs around my waist, tilting her hips, allowing me to go deeper.
“You’re such a good girl,” I mutter. Her nails dig into my back as she meets each of my frantic thrusts with her own.
“Am I?” she whimpers as her tight pussy locks around my cock.
“Do you want this sweet little pussy to take my knot?” I growl as I bump my knot against her tight entrance. “Let me in.”
She wants my knot, but she’s thrusting against me and I’m in control.
I press my hand on her throat when she ignores me.
“I’m in charge, omega. You’re forgetting your designation.”
Her glazed eyes meet mine as she whimpers, something I don’t pick up.
My hand is around her throat and her pussy is tightening around my cock, and I want to knot her, too.
“Alpha,” she whimpers as I thrust into her over and over.
It feels so fucking good.
The sound of our wet union echoes in the room.
I’m so lost in the moment, holding her down, grinding my knot against her, but it’s my growing need to own her that scares me.
I need to claim her, then breed her.
Her whimpering gets louder as she bucks against me.
The sounds of our bodies slapping together.
And then she stops and watches me, eyes wide, not blinking.
She’s staring at me, pounding into her over and over. Waiting, but no longer begging.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Silas barks behind me.
Only when her eyes close, and I’m being dragged off her, do I realize I’ve gone too far.
Silas growls as he throws me to the floor. “You’ll kill her.”
Silas paces up and down, staring at me repeatedly while Seb holds a sobbing Ava in his arms.
“I need a knot,” she begs over and over. “I need this to be over.”
I want to help her again, but Silas asserts if I do anything like that to Ava again, he’d put a bullet in my brain.
Funny how things turn out. I thought I’d be saving Ava from him, not the other way around.
Honestly, I don’t know what got it into me.
One minute I was ready to knot her, the next, my fingers were tightening around her throat as I watched her while I tried to stop my urge to sink my teeth into her slender neck. Knowing that was one way to keep her forever.
Now she wants her heat to be over, and after that, I should too. After all, she might already be pregnant with my child.
What if she is?
I never really thought it through.
Ava doesn’t want children, but perhaps being pregnant will change her view.
Will she happily hand over the child?
Or will she want to stay forever?
I close my eyes for a moment, shaking my head.
“Please,” she groans.
“Will one of you please knot her, or I’m going to use a sex toy on her,” Seb hisses under his breath, not wanting to alarm her.
“I’ll do it,” Silas says, pushing his large hand through his dark hair and sighing.
I have a feeling he’s now dubious about me around the omega. Not that I know why he cares so much.
“You need your sleep,” I tell him, because Silas had just finished a two-hour stint with Ava not long before I took over.
He glares at me. “No fucking way. I can’t trust you.”
“I want more from her than you do. Now fuck off and go to sleep. I won’t hurt her.”
Ava’s moaning gets louder and Seb looks more furious than ever. “Both of you get the fuck out of here,” he says.
I rush to his side, about to pummel his face, when Ava covers my hand and gives me a pleading look. “Don’t hurt him.”
I swallow back a sudden ball of anxiousness. I don’t know what is wrong with me. I’ve never been so worked up or uneasy in my life, but here I am with my omega, and I should only want to get her pregnant—like I planned. But now I want more, and I don’t know how to deal with it.
She wants her heat over and done with. She wants to get on with her life without me in it.
Just like before.
Her fingers slide up my arm and onto my shoulder. Goosebumps pop over my arms, and there’s a moment when we really connect.
“Ava,” I whisper, not using her designation, making her real to me. “Do you want me?”
She glances at Seb.
He smiles back at her, saying. “Do what you have to do. I know you’re an omega, Ava. I’m here for you.”
Ava swallows as she looks at me. “I do.”
“Okay baby girl, let’s see if this last knot gets you out of this heat.”
Seb rises, kisses Ava on her temple before he strides to the door.
He can’t watch.
“Can I trust you for long enough for me to have a shower?” Silas asks.
“I promise I won’t hurt her.” I wait for him to leave before whispering to Ava. “I’m sorry about earlier.”
“What did you do?” Ava asks.
I groan. “You don’t remember?”
Probably for the best.
Her eyes are focused on me with what I’m sure is need in her eyes. And it’s for me, not for the sex.
It’s the first time since her heat started and my heart is ready to gallop out of my chest.
She shows me her glistening pussy again. I drop between her legs, sliding my tongue along her slit, lapping up her slick.
Her fingers pull on my hair. Our gazes meet and I see a look of anguish in her eyes.
“Knot me, please.” The words leave her lips in a breathy whine.
“Okay, baby girl.”
As I settle between her thighs, my cock throbs, desperate to feel her body becoming one with mine.
As her heat goes on, her climaxes have ripped through her body much faster. And as her eyelids flutter and I press my crown inside her, I know this is going to be the same.
I pull her ass off the nest, supporting her hips with my hands.
Her gaze lands on mine as electricity runs through my body. “Are you my alpha?”
Am I? “I am.”
Fuck I am.
I wanted her heat.
I wanted her to give me an heir.
Now the only thing I can think about is having her.
As I rock my hips into her, her pussy contracts, trying to pull my knot inside her.
“That’s it, omega. You take me this time. Show me how much you want me .”
Her pussy pulses around my cock and with each thrust, it readies itself for my knot. And I know the tablet is definitely working. Her body is now craving to be bred.
“Please,” she moans as her perfume floods the air, making my cock so fucking hard it aches.
My dick is like an iron bar as I thrust inside her, and she arches her body to take more.
“Come inside me. Knot me.” Her omega is coming on strong. Ava isn’t bratty nor a typical omega outside of her heat, but now she is proving that biology always wins.
“Oh, Alpha, that’s it.” Her voice is breathy as she tries to pull my knot inside her pulsating pussy, and I no longer want to stop it. I need to be locked inside her, coming over and over, ensuring my baby is conceived during this heat.
Her hands clench the sheets, and thighs tremble against mine.
I slam inside her. Groaning as my knot locks into her intense heat.
Like before, it feels like a burning vice, but strangely, I fucking love it.
My knot aches as I grind into her, getting as deep as possible.
“Max.” Her eyes roll into her head.
Just hearing my name— not Alpha—but Max , does something to me.
My cock pulses, shooting my cum deep inside her, but this time it feels different. Her pussy pulsates over and over, holding me inside her and milking me for everything I can give her.
I never want this to end.
I want to give her so much more.
Her scent permeates the air, making my balls tighten as she grinds over my knot.
“Yes! Yes! Oh my!” she squeals, gripping my cock with her inner walls. The feeling of her coming around my cock sends me over the edge, and I fear I might never come back.
As her pussy pulsate over my cock and knot, teasing every drop of cum from me, my gums throb with the urge to bite her.
Don’t do it.
I slide my tongue over my canines as I stare into her pretty eyes.
“Max,” she whimpers as I coax every quiver from her pussy while she convulses underneath me. “Max.”
My name.
My name.
I dig my teeth into my bottom lip, tasting the copper from the bite before slamming my lips on hers.
Her tongue slides over my lips, tasting my blood, tasting her alpha.
She moans when I pull away.
Her eyes close, and her body sinks against the mattress, murmuring something under her breath.
“Tell me again,” I purr around her head, letting my scent overwhelm her.
“Bite me.” It’s still muffled, but I’m sure of it this time.
I can see her heat is nearing its end and time is crucial right now. She won’t ask when she isn’t in her heat. I know that much about Ava.
This is it.
My heart pounds against my rib cage as I run a finger over Ava’s cheek.
Can I?
Should I?
I know there’s greater success at getting her pregnant if she’s claimed concurrently with being coated with my cum.
And she’s asking me to.
I take her hands, entwining my fingers with hers as I stare into her eyes.
She’s so beautiful.
She’s also fucking annoying.
I’m getting too old and set in my way for relationships.
I stopped needing an omega years ago. I gave her freedom. This takes it all away.
I only need an heir.
She’s your scent match.
The thought of her being mine makes me so hazy that I don’t realize my teeth are grazing over her neck until she whimpers and moans.
And as I lick over the spot I want to claim her, Seb rushes into the room.
His voice is yelling but—
But it’s too late.
