Chapter 45
Icrashed backward into a massive bed with very little dignity.
Zed was above me, caging me in, lips brushing my neck as I wrestled his shirt over his back.
I thought we were in a spare room. Not the main nest, which meant Zed had every intention of keeping me all to himself.
His gift, his fuck.
That was fair game.
He was careful where he touched, shifting around the scars on my back as he tugged my shirt off, and I moaned, lightning in my veins as he dragged me against him, lips brushing down my neck to my breasts.
I dragged him closer, nails digging into his skin.
Fuck, I needed him.
“Let me worship you, first.”
He flipped us, tugging my panties down my thighs, and slipping down beneath me with ease. His fingers ran along my entrance, making me shudder as I found my balance.
“You’re so fucking wet.” His tongue found my centre, I shuddered, eyes rolling back as he drove his fingers into me.
My heart fluttered, peace and pleasure settling over me like a blanket as he dragged me down over him, free arm clamping around my hips. My breaths came faster as he shifted me so I could feel the pressure of his tongue drawing up my centre.
I shuddered, but he didn’t let up, pushing me all the way to the edge. I moaned as my orgasm crashed into me, making me whine as he drove two fingers into me, dragging it out until I was a melted puddle on the bed.
Fuck.
He drew me back down, so I was straddling him as I tried to catch my breath, hormones resurging as I felt how hard he was beneath me. I removed my underwear entirely, and reached down, fumbling with his sweatpants. He tried to help, but I let out a growl, my hand closing around his throat, instincts sweeping me away almost entirely.
“You’re mine.”
He groaned as I said it, right as my hand closed around his cock and tugged it free. “Fuuckk, say that again, Little Devil,” he breathed.
I adjusted myself, feeling slick wetting my thighs as I sank onto the tip of his cock, my hand still clamped around his throat. His pupils were blown, eyes fixed on mine and lip caught aggressively in his teeth as I lowered myself onto his length.
“I’m yours, forever, Glade,” he breathed, and I had to catch myself for balance as he gripped my thighs and pressed up into me, making me see stars with how deep he drove.
I closed my hand tighter around his throat and his grip on my hips loosened just a little. Enough to give me control, and let me sink down over his length, a moan rising in my chest as I settled around his knot, letting it stretch me just a bit.
“You’re so fucking pretty, using me like that,” he growled.
I drew my hips back up, finding that perfect spot to ride him. Bliss was rising in my veins every time I took him all the way, a shiver rolling up my spine as I teased myself with his knot.
“Keep doing that…”
I loved the way his jaw clenched, muscles in his neck straining beneath where my palm was pressed as I lowered down on the edge of his knot, then held myself there. “Say you’re mine,” I growled.
“Forever yours, Little Devil,” he breathed, thumb finding my clit as he drove up into me. “The only one I’ve ever been with.”
Those words turned every nerve in my body alight, and I stretched myself over his knot with a groan of pleasure, my climax hitting at the same time I felt his hot seed spilling into my core.
Fuuckkkk.
I sagged against him, catching my breath as the bliss faded, my eyes locked with his. His fingers wove through my hair, and I hummed contentedly, curling up against him, loving how it felt to be locked against him and full, as a purr rumbled to life in his chest.
The high remained, even after the orgasm had passed.
My Alpha.
My pack lead.
And he’d destroyed one of the most precious things Ace had.
Kyan had promised me safety, and maybe, just maybe, I was starting to believe them.
“Is there a nest for you to bring them to?” he asked, and I glanced up at him.
“Not yet.”
I swallowed. I hadn’t found the right place to nest in this place. I didn’t know if it was because it felt too much like the mansion I’d grown up in, or if I just needed to wait for my hormones to settle.
“There will be,” he said.
I smiled, hugging him tighter.
We lay like that for a while in silence, but eventually, I propped myself up on his chest and peered up at him, far too curious. “Tell me how you did it?”
He grinned, rocking into me and making me squeak before his thumb began circling my clit lazily again. “You sure you want to know?”
“Tell me.” That came out so much more demanding than I’d intended.
“You’re so fucking hot.” He clamped his grip on my hips so he could rut into me with his knot. “But I don’t know?—”
“Tell me!”I seized his hair, another growl rising in my throat even as my blood heated at the stimulation he was giving me.
His grin was dazzling. “I gave one a poisoned crown,” he said. “And the other I left to choke on a card.”
I tilted my head, catching my lip with my teeth as he rocked into me again. “A… card?”
“Mhmm.”
I moaned as he maintained the rhythm, pushing me right to the edge, but his next words sent me tumbling into the bliss of my third orgasm.
“A queen of diamonds.”
