CHAPTER 35
Cassius
Those long, thick fingers grabbed her ass, digging in. They forced the flesh to the side to show me her back entrance and the sight of Liam’s dick disappearing inside her, his base knot swelling already…I’d never forget what that looked like and it would haunt me for the rest of my fucking life, reminding me of what I could never have.
“Ride me, Lucy. See what it feels like to have that secondary knot rubbing against you with every movement.”
I didn’t dare close my eyes no matter how badly I wanted to. I may be stronger than most legacy alphas, but I wasn’t one no matter how much it seemed like I was. Only a true legacy possessed a primary and secondary knot.
A secondary knot just for pleasure – not locking an omega into place to ensure they were well bred, but just providing the kind of stimulation that would ruin an omega for anyone else ever again.
I only had my primary knot, and I didn’t possess red eyes, but I was too fucking strong for my own good – too dangerous for most alphas to leave me alone until I’d learned to hide my true strength.
Lucy and I had that in common .
“Ride it as hard as you can, Lucy. Come for me again so I can really fuck you.” Liam’s eyes locked onto her face and I honestly couldn’t blame him. She was fucking breathtaking.
Lucy’s lips were parted and she watched Liam like he was the only person in this world as she rolled her hips, her feet tucked on top of his thighs to give her leverage. Watching her ride him like this was…
Impossible.
Every sound she made was like a knife sliding under my skin, pricking at those instincts I’d long since buried. My cock was so hard it wouldn’t surprise me if my pants ripped at the seam from trying to hold it back.
“Liam…” The way she said his name had me wondering if she’d sound like that when she moaned for me, the thought making my cock flex so hard I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, telling myself I couldn’t come just from listening to this.
How fucking pathetic could I be?
I was only here to make sure nothing crazy happened – like every other rut Liam had ever gone through. We just had to make sure Lucy didn’t overdose or end up bonded against her will. That was it.
“Fuck, louder . Scream for me, Lucy.”
I couldn’t do this anymore.
Maybe it would be a little easier if I stood outside the door where I could jack off without either of them noticing – force myself to come so I didn’t try to take what wasn’t mine.
“God, I want more. I need more,” Lucy breathed, her breath hitching as I stood. “I want to feel you even closer, until I’m covered in your scent. So they all know who I belong to.”
This was starting to spiral out of control again.
Between her pheromones and that confession, there was no way Liam was going to be able to resist bonding her.
The metal of the syringe caught the light as I prepared it, watching Liam as closely as I could without giving in to that part of me roaring deep inside to sink into her and give her that more she needed so badly.
“That’s right, baby, you belong to me,” Liam murmured, his expression actually softening as she clung to him. “Please, Lucy. Call my name again. Just one more time. Louder . I want Cas to hear the way your voice shatters when I make you feel this good.”
She came for him just like that, screaming his name like such a good little omega that I damn near sank that needle into my own thigh just to put me out of my fucking misery.
Liam locked eyes with me once more and this time, he didn’t smirk. He looked fucking devastated and I had no idea why. “That’s right, Lucy. Just like that. You’re the only omega in the world who could ever get me to beg.”
It was such a strange feeling to realize that for once, Liam and I were in the same boat.
He was terrified of fucking up, just like I was. He was freaking out over how much she was affecting him – how she could literally ask him anything right now and he’d do it…even kill me.
And I would do the same.
Lucy could look at me right now and tell me to strangle Liam, and I don’t think I’d hesitate even for a moment. Not if it meant I could have a taste of her. Just one taste. That’s all I needed to survive.
I’d worry about what would happen if that one taste wasn’t enough later.
Before she could catch her breath, Liam flipped her over onto her hands and knees, pressing down on her lower back to force the most delicious arch. Her heavy breasts swung just enough to make my mouth water and I realized both her nipples were pierced.
Jesus fuck, how the hell was I supposed to walk away now?
“Come on, Cas. Don’t leave just yet. I need to reward her for doing such a good job, don’t I? ”
What the fuck was he trying to do now?
“Lucy, wouldn’t you like a delicious treat?” Liam slid in and out of her leisurely, watching the way she gripped the sheets and pushed back into him with these soft little moans, but she was looking at me .
At my cock which was really fucking obvious thanks to how it strained against my tactical pants.
“Do you want to taste him?” Liam didn’t grin like I thought he would. His gaze was too intense as he watched her, the sweat dripping down his neck and chest as he picked up the pace. “Do you want to see if it’s the more you need so badly, or if it’s my knot?”
I was frozen in place.
For years we’ve done this kind of shit, and it was the first time I felt totally fucking speechless when she moaned as Liam slammed into her hard enough to make me wince, but she looked like her mind was melting with the pleasure of it.
“Strip for her, Cas.”
Even now, he wasn’t smiling playfully. Liam looked up and his glowing red eyes looked…murderous.
Was this another test?
Even if it was, I didn’t have the strength to do what I knew was right.
I gently set the syringe on the nightstand, drawing Lucy’s attention.
Nathan had given me the strongest dose of suppressants he could, but I didn’t think it was going to be enough. Not with how fucking potent Lucy’s pheromones were. They were a match for Liam’s and then some, eating away at whatever sanity I might have walked in here with until all I could think about was doing whatever it was she needed me to do.
Stripping my shirt off first brought her eyes up to my chest and the way she took in my tattoos gave me a little hope she wasn’t completely lost in her heat just yet, but…could she handle my pheromones on top of Liam’s ?
Guess we’d find out.
I crouched down so we were eye level and every thrust from Liam made her breasts sway. Her whimpers of pleasure were so soft I’d think she didn’t really like it except her nails were digging into the sheets so hard the fabric was tearing and her eyes were still so fucking hungry. She licked her lips like she couldn’t wait to taste what Liam had promised her and I clenched my teeth when my cock flexed so hard it fucking hurt .
This damn omega was going to ruin me the same way she’d ruined Liam. I knew that with every fiber of my being and I still couldn’t be bothered to care.
“Do you want to help me solve a mystery, Lucy?” I brushed the hair out of her face, pulling it out of the tacky blood still smeared across her chin.
There was blood all over the sheets now and it looked like they’d murdered someone in here.
All that red made her look so fucking pretty and I knew I’d never be able to look at anyone else the same way ever again.
She didn’t answer me, but she didn’t need to, not when she reached for me so desperately.
Grabbing her by the chin, I yanked her just a little closer, forcing Liam to follow, and she groaned when he slammed into her again, bringing her close enough to kiss if I wanted.
But I pressed my thumb to her lips instead, curious just how well-trained she was.
Lucy opened her mouth instantly, giving me the access I’d silently asked for, and I almost stood and left right then and there.
Who had made her this way? Which asshole had trained her so fucking well she opened wide without a single verbal command? How could she know what I wanted?
Pressing my thumb to her tongue made spit slide out of her mouth and I licked my lips, knowing it would burn the second I slid my cock into that hot little mouth of hers, but in the best way .
“I’m curious how much more you can take,” I mused, pressing down a bit too hard, but she didn’t protest. Lucy just opened her mouth as wide as it would go with a little whimper, her eyes rolling in the back of her head. “Would you like to help us solve that mystery, my sweet omega?”
Her breathing sped up when Liam did, and the sounds she made were just too fucking much. If I didn’t take this opportunity, I’d never know just how delicious she could be and I’d rather die than miss out on that.
Who knew I could be this pathetic and desperate?
And to think I didn’t want anything to do with her not that long ago. How was that even possible when it looked like she’d do anything for me right now as long as Liam kept fucking her so hard I was sure he’d break her?
I stood before I could overthink it and undid my pants, pulling them down just far enough to free my cock. Wrapping my hand around the base where the knot was already swelling barely helped, and the way she looked at me only made it worse.
Sliding my hand through her hair as gently as I could manage, I tugged back and set one knee on the mattress, resting the pierced tip of my cock against her lips. How I managed to wait like that for as long as I did…I’d never fucking know.
But there was something enchanting about the way she looked at me, not my cock. Her big, grey eyes were full of…
Hope.
My chest started heaving when I realized what that emotion was. Lucy was looking up at me with hope in her fucking eyes and I knew right then and there, I’d fucking kill anyone who dared to touch her. If there was ever pain in them instead of this , I’d rip them apart with my bare fucking hands.
Her lips parted and that was enough for me.
One thrust, that was all it took.
I slid inside her so easily I damn near came on the spot. Her mouth was so fucking hot it felt like I was being scalded, but I wanted more .
Lucy and I were alike in so many ways, weren’t we?
This would never be enough, but it was more than I’d dared to hope for.
Forcing my cock down her throat wasn’t what I’d intended but her pheromones had me all fucked up and halfway to my own rut even with all the suppressants I’d taken. Hearing her choke on it at the same time that she tried to take more, wrapping her small hand around it to bring me deeper brought me to the edge so fucking fast I bit my own tongue to keep from coming already.
I tasted blood and it was sweet enough I groaned as I thrust deeper.
She pushed back against Liam, her voice getting louder as we timed our thrusts perfectly to make her lose her fucking mind.
Looking up from the gorgeous creature in front of me to the alpha who, shockingly, hadn’t tried to kill me, I wondered for a brief moment if this was all we’d ever get. I could help her through her heat, but that was it.
Nothing more.
Liam yanked back on her hips, burying his knot deep inside her as he came with a low snarl, leaning down to bite the back of her neck just like I’d expected. Lucy sucked me down hard enough to make me come, but I managed to grab him by the throat before I did, squeezing just hard enough to regain his attention.
Fuck, I was going to come, but…
Lucy didn’t give me a chance to hold back even for a second. I came so fucking hard I nearly blacked out, involuntarily squeezing Liam’s throat until he turned purple. Her gargled scream around my cock told me she was coming all over again, but I had no idea what had set her off.
Was it because of me or Liam? Maybe both .
It didn’t matter when I was shaking like a drug addict, desperate for my next hit after getting just one taste of her.
Liam tapped my wrist and I managed to release him before he passed out, both of us heaving in air, if for different reasons. I pulled out of Lucy’s mouth and grabbed her chin, tilting her face up so I could see the cum that was still on her tongue like she’d somehow known.
Somehow she’d known I’d want to see it.
Leaning down, I kissed her, tasting myself on her tongue and I’d never tasted anything so intoxicating in my life.
I was ruined.
This omega had ruined me for anyone else ever again.
Shoving down the flux of emotions those thoughts provoked, I licked my lips and pulled back, studying just how bright her grey eyes were.
“Was that enough, Lucy, or do you still need more?”
