Chapter 32 #2
“So beautiful,” I said, pressing my lips against hers. All might not be forgiven yet, but she was melting into me now, warming up to my touch.
“What is the plan, alpha?” she asked as I pulled away. “Surely, not to stand here.”
“No, definitely not,” I said, taking her hand and leading her out. She probably figured out where we were going by the time we hit the grounds but she said nothing until we were inside.
She kicked off her shoes and glanced around, gaze lingering on the room around her. “It’s not as nice without the pack.”
“No,” I agreed. “But for tonight, it’s ours.”
“Oh?” she teased, shrugging out of her coat. “You thought you could flash me a knot and all would be forgiven?”
“No,” I countered, reaching into the fridge and pulling out the tray of chocolate covered strawberries. “But I thought chocolate might help.”
“Hmm, I’m not hungry yet,” she said as she backed up toward the stairs. “Think we have a way of working that appetite up?”
My omega was going to give chase, wasn’t she?
Audrey lifted her shirt off, giving me the view of her perfect breasts before she turned and hurried upstairs.
“Are you coming, alpha?”
“Both of us are, just give me time,” I shot back as I rushed up the stairs, stripping out of my clothes as I went.
“Oh my god that was corny,” she laughed, her giggles luring me down the hall like a siren’s call.
When I found her, she was spread across the bed. Her clothes were gone, leaving her splayed out for me. Her wavy, blonde hair spread out across the dark sheets, her smile sweet and open.
The bond between us had been a mess the past few hours and now it was calm and curious, only our current desire echoing back and forth.
She wasn’t holding my behavior against me. She understood and was giving me a way to move on.
I moved closer, breathing her scent in as I reached the end of the bed. She wasn’t as sweet as she was during heat but it was just as tempting.
“I’m going to take my time with you tonight, Audrey. Love you like you deserve,” I promised.
“Prove it.”
That was my invitation to act. I settled between her thighs before sliding my tongue through her slick pussy. Her taste was different now. Not as sweet but just as perfect.
That same subtle scent of rose, rain, and spice was as strong as ever. So fucking tempting.
Each swipe of my tongue had my omega writhing under me. Her hands eventually tangling in my long hair as she rocked her hips up to meet each teasing stroke.
When I latched onto her clit, she slammed her hips forward, nearly drowning me in that perfect pussy as she came all over my tongue.
Her moans were just as sexy. Soft, breathy sounds that told me she liked what we were doing.
Now that she’d fallen apart on my tongue, I wanted to watch her shatter on my knot.
She spread her legs for me with that same trusting smile that did me in. My chest warmed at the sight, knowing that even if I made a mistake, we had worked past it.
We had built a foundation of trust and genuine care, which meant she didn’t just assume the worst in me. She recognized that I was trying to make it better and never meant to hurt her.
“Are you going to fuck me, Ares?” she asked when I still hadn’t moved.
“Would it also be corny if I said no, I was going to make love to you?”
She laughed, the sound soft and musical. I loved when she didn’t hold herself back.
“Yes,” she agreed. “But I don’t care what you call it as long as you’re inside of me.”
“There’s no place I’d rather be,” I promised as I settled in place, spreading her wide as I canted my hips forward, pushing into my omega where I belonged.
She was so fucking tight, her heat wrapped around me and already causing my knot to swell.
Audrey moaned again, her hips rocking up to meet mine, urging me to move.
I gave her what she needed, pulling out and sinking back into her heat, fucking her until my knot made it impossible.
She felt so good that it didn’t take long until I was fully locked into her perfect body. I continued to fuck her, my knot making her eyes roll back
“More,” she begged me until I slid my fingers between us, teasing her as I fucked my knot into her. Her body clenched around me, walls fluttering as her orgasm took over.
There was no holding back when she was so tight. My own orgasm slammed into me until I was filling my omega with my cum.
My eyes met hers and I drowned there, body shaking with the intensity of my release and the bond brimming with a soul-deep connection I knew would only get better as time went on.
We shifted onto our sides, holding onto each other as my knot kept us locked together.
“Do you think this will be over tomorrow?” she asked. “That we’ll find out we get to leave?”
“I do,” I agreed.
There was no other reality I could accept. After finding my mate and going through so much together, there was no way I could ever leave her without her.
Or our pack.
We were a unit and I’d fight to make sure they got to experience the world in a new way. One filled with excitement and joy, instead of pain.
We’d taken down one enemy, now we just had one last hurdle before forever finally began.
