Chapter Eight
Roderic
I should have known not to talk business with a stranger in my home, but I’d thought Paige was sound asleep. To be fair, she didn’t feel like a stranger anymore since I knew every inch of her body, but it still hadn’t been smart.
After the past few days of knotting her near-constantly, even I felt wrecked, and it was surprising she was already awake. If I hadn’t heard her huff of derision at Leo’s comment, I wouldn’t have thought there was any chance we had been overheard.
I replayed the conversation as I walked down the hall, trying to decide how much she could have heard.
I didn’t think she’d been in the hallway long, but it was impossible to tell by scent since hers was so embedded in my nostrils that I’d barely picked up Leo’s whiskey and coffee with him standing only a few feet away from me.
I curled my fingers into fists at the thought of washing her slick away.
I wanted to stay covered in her scent, but Leo’s reaction when he’d walked in told me it wouldn’t be a good idea.
I didn’t mind flaunting that I’d been with an omega, but without her safely bonded, I wasn’t going to go around waving a red flag at other alphas who might try to steal her away.
The door swung open at the touch of my fingertips, the omega in question lying in the middle of the bed where I’d left her, but the sheet she’d been covered by was on the floor. My button down had also been moved, and somehow she was wearing a pair of my dress socks that reached up to her knees.
A grin spread across my face as I watched her from the doorway.
She was trying so hard to pretend to be asleep, but I had enough experience watching people to know the difference.
She’d never have been able to fool me even if I didn’t know I’d picked that sheet up from the floor to cover her when I left the room to meet Leo.
Lying on her belly facing away from me, she’d left her body on full display.
With one knee up as if she’d rolled over in her sleep, I could even see the deep pink of her center, and my cock throbbed beneath the sweatpants I’d thrown on to speak to my boss.
The thought of her wearing my shirt and socks to sneak down and spy on us had me hard despite how many times I’d filled her before her heat broke.
And what better way to force her to talk to me than when she was trapped on my knot?
I pushed down the waist of my pants as I moved across the room, tugging them over my feet as I crawled onto the mattress. Her breathing hitched, a sure sign she was aware of me, but she continued her charade.
Reaching out, I brushed my fingers over the inside of her ankle before dragging them up her calf. Her muscles twitched beneath her skin, but she didn’t move, so I shifted until I could reach both legs at the same time.
Pressing my thumbs into her calves, I gave them a gentle massage before working my way higher. She grew tenser as my touch moved up to her thighs, and I leaned down to scrape my teeth along the lower edge of one rounded ass cheek.
Even though anyone who was actually sleeping surely would have woken, Paige refused to drop her ruse, and my grin grew. I was going to push her as far as she’d let me, and her folds growing glossy told me she was enjoying it as much as I was.
As much as I wanted another taste of her slick, the way she was lying didn’t give me enough space to reach with my tongue, so I settled for slipping two fingers into her wet channel.
Her breath caught again, and her thighs twitched as I pressed deeper into her, turning my hand so I could curl my fingertips against her front wall.
She was putting up a fight against reacting, and I was determined to make her lose.
Straddling her lower leg, I nudged the bent one higher, opening her more.
Watching my fingers disappear into her cunt and come out dripping with slick was mesmerizing, and I added a third to force her lower lips to stretch wider.
There was nothing more erotic than watching a part of me be swallowed by one of her holes, and I was becoming obsessed with testing her limits.
I wanted to force my fully inflated knot through her opening and watch her flushed flesh blanche with the strain of it.
She was having a hard time controlling her breathing and the way her hips wanted to move with me.
If she’d truly been sleeping her body would have naturally given in to the instinct to rock, and her tension was another sign of her consciousness.
My little omega was going to have to get better at acting if she ever wanted to fool me.
Shuffling forward on my knees, I used my free hand to lift her upper thigh as I pulled my fingers out of her core, replacing them with the head of my cock. I circled her opening, bumping her clit with the top ball of my jewelry before thrusting deep.
The way she gasped and stiffened ruined any pretense of being asleep. Her nails sank into the muscle of the thigh in front of her, the sting sending a shiver up my spine as I pulled back and slammed in again.
Her little squeaks and moans had me hooked, chasing whatever would bring forth more of them. I’d never suffered from drug abuse, but I’d grown addicted to the way her lips parted and her eyes rolled back when I fucked her just right.
With her no longer pretending to be asleep she could keep her leg up herself, so I shifted my grip to her breast. Pinching the nipple between my finger and thumb, I rolled it, applying just enough pressure to make it sting before releasing it.
“Roderic!”
My name on her lips only spurred me to fuck her harder. There was something about her that flipped every one of my switches, and even as lust coursed through me, anger burned beneath it.
Was she spying for the Walkers?
Another group?
Had I been a target?
An omega in the beginning throes of her heat should have been holed up somewhere safe, nesting, yet she’d been right where I would scent her as I left the drug den on the floor above.
There were only a few people who had known where I was going, all of them men I trusted, but could one of them have somehow been swayed into betraying the Galleons?
Or had she simply been trying to leave when she snuck down the hall and overheard me talking to Leo?
Of all the thoughts circling my brain, that was the one that made my teeth clench and my fingers tighten on her flesh.
Paige could have been innocent, but it no longer mattered.
My alpha side was determined to keep her, and I’d never been one to ignore my instincts.
This little omega was mine, whether she was prepared to be claimed or not.
I’d give her time to adjust, to get used to the idea before I bit her, but she’d carry my mark soon enough.
And my baby if everything worked out.
Leaning down over her body, I kept her lower leg pinned between mine while I pushed the other up until her breasts pillowed against it. Her moans grew louder, the little crease between her brows deepening, but it was obvious there was more pleasure than pain.
Plus, I’d determined my little omega liked a bit of pain.
“I’m going to fill you up again, Sweetheart. Make that belly bulge with cum as my knot locks it all inside. You’re going to scream nice and loud for me, so my boss can hear you upstairs.”
Her brows twitched and her eyes cracked open, but I shifted my hand down her ass and pushed against her back hole before she could get distracted from what I was doing to her.
There was enough slick smeared between her cheeks that my thumb slid along her flesh easily, and as her lips parted, possibly to object, I pushed the tip inside.
The noise she made was somewhere between a moan and a squeak of protest, her mouth opening wider as her breathing stuttered.
Those pretty blue eyes were wild and locked on me as I withdrew and gathered more slick on my fingertip before pushing it in further, her high-pitched whine not convincing me she didn’t want what I was doing to her.
“You’re such a good girl, Sweetheart, taking my cock in your pussy and my thumb in your ass. You didn’t ask for it, but it’s obvious you want it. I think you’re going to come for me.”
Her walls were fluttering around my shaft, warning she was close, and praising her along with the pressure in her back passage was enough to send her over the edge.
She arched, crying out as her nails dug deeper into my thigh, shuddering beneath me and gushing slick, but we weren’t finished.
I wanted her good and relaxed before I questioned her, and I still needed to lock my knot in her so she couldn’t get away.
“My little omega is so good, but I don’t think that was loud enough. You’re going to have to give me another one.”
