Chapter 20 #2
I want to protest, but his heat-filled expression steals my breath away. His fingers twine with mine, arms wrapping around me until our hands are settled on my stomach. I’m wrapped in him as he leads us to the exit, not bothering to pause for a goodbye to the others.
Fresh air washes over my skin, cooling my overheated body. It only lasts long enough for Caleb to pin me to the side of his car, his body towering over mine as he claims my mouth again.
I scramble to pull him closer, legs wrapping around his waist and my core grinding against his hard length.
“Fuck,” he growls, ripping his mouth from mine. We’re both breathing heavy, his hands loosening and tightening in my hair as he fights to retain control of himself.
“In the car. Now.”
Licking him off my lips, I smirk when he groans, but quickly push him away and slide into the passenger seat.
The drive back to the estate is going to be torturous.
Caleb barely has the car in park before he slams his door open, storms around the front, and rips mine open.
I fumble to unbuckle my seatbelt and throw myself into his arms. He catches me around the waist with one arm and slams my door shut with the other.
Our mouths meet, the fuse that was lit at the club finally reignited now that we’re home.
Whining, I tug at his hair and dig my heels into his ass to get him moving.
“My room or yours?” he asks when we make it inside.
“Nest,” I grit out, deftly undoing the buttons on his shirt so that I can take what I want. His eyes flicker to mine, his breath catching..
I explore every inch of him I can reach with my lips and tongue, a pleased noise slipping through my lips at the salty taste of his sweaty skin.
I want more. Need more.
He’s panting hard, fingers digging into my ass hard enough to bruise when he finally stumbles through my bedroom door and beelines for my nest.
I lean back to watch his expression as he enters, desperate for his approval of the space I’ve made for us.
Soft lips part and steel-blue eyes fill with awe as his steps slow. I reach over to flip the switches that will close the shutters and power on the hanging lights. A warm glow wraps around the room, sparkling against the glittering pieces of fabric that cascade from the branches of my tree.
“It’s beautiful,” he whispers, voice full of awe. His eyes find mine, and the love radiating toward me pulls a desperate sound from my throat.
He melts, leaning down to brush his nose against mine. “I’m here, bunny. I’m yours. Let me prove it to you.”
Sliding down his chest, I’m mesmerized, as he strips his shirt off, muscles flexing as he moves. My mouth waters, eyes glued to his forearms as he undoes his belt and drops his pants to the floor, taking his boxers with them.
Bare before me, I let out a happy sigh. He’s gorgeous. Covered in ink and piercings, with broad shoulders and an Adonis belt that begs for my tongue to explore its grooves.
I shift, starting to drop to my knees so I can taste him, but he catches my arm and stops me with a brutal smirk. “No way, baby. As much as I love having your mouth on me, it’s my turn to worship you.”
I don’t have a chance to protest before he’s spinning me around. His fingers drag lightly along my spine before gripping the zipper of my dress and dragging it down. I lift my arms when he nudges them, letting him pull the material from my body.
Cool air brushes across my breasts, tightening my already stiff nipples and making me shiver with need. I’m forced to wait as Caleb carefully undoes my hair, the long strands dropping around my shoulders as he removes the pins that held it in place.
A firm slap to my ass makes me jolt, the sting a delicious tease.
My Alpha chuckles, low and throatily, as he stalks around me and sprawls in the middle of my nest, his cock proud as it stands ready for me.
I fling myself down beside him, immediately rolling to straddle his hips, but he catches me by the thighs and lifts me higher over his head.
“You’re going to ride my face, Omega, and only after you’ve drowned me in your release will I let you ride my cock.”
Insecurities briefly flicker to the surface, reminding me how uncomfortable he will be with my bony body pressed to his face. Sensing the direction of my thoughts, his grip on me tightens and I’m jerked downward until his tongue can spear into my core.
A flip switches, shutting off all thought.
Pleasure courses through my body, sweeping me beneath its wave and narrowing my focus to the pulse of his tongue and the bump of his nose against my clit. I feel his smile when I start to move, my hands digging into his hair and my hips rocking as I chase the feeling.
Our eyes meet, emotions shared without words, and I ricochet over the edge of euphoria, exploding into a million particles of pleasure.
“Alpha,” I whimper, my core clenching around his tongue. It’s not enough. I need his knot. His teeth. His bite.
He flips us and crawls down my body, a messy kiss pressed to my mouth that’s all tongue as he settles between my thighs.
I cling to him, nails scoring his shoulders as he leans up, suddenly terrified he will change his mind and leave.
A feeling I’ve been shoving down, determined to ignore it now that he’s back.
My Caleb sees everything, though. He’s always known my heart, held it in his hand.
His forehead presses to mine, lips feathering against mine as he whispers apologies and promises. Tears leak from my eyes, my sadness over the time we lost warring with my frenzied need to be claimed.
Raising onto one arm, he grips himself and lines up with my pussy, teasing me as he coats himself in my slick.
“I’m going to fuck you hard, Skye. Bury myself so deep inside you that there will never be another doubt that you belong to me. Then I’m going to knot you, lock you on my cock and fill you with my cum, coating you in my scent inside and out.”
He stills, the head of his beautiful dick pressing into me. Releasing his length, he presses a hand over my heart, his expression serious as he stares down at me.
“After you’re writhing in pleasure and so full of me that all the doubts I put here are mere wisps of a memory, I’m going to sink my teeth into you and make you mine. Exactly as I should have done eight years ago.”
He slams the rest of the way in, not waiting for me to reply. He already knows my answer, knows what I need. I pull him down to me, kissing him as he takes me with deep, fast strokes.
My body jolts each time we connect, my pussy clamping down, trying to keep him inside each time he withdraws. Fire burns low in my stomach, growing into an inferno that threatens to singe my insides.
“C-Caleb,” I whimper, hips rising to meet his thrusts. “More. I need you. All of you. Please.”
Hearing my plea, he lifts my legs to wrap around his waist, changing the angle so he can push deeper. I feel the beginning swell of his knot as it slips in and out of me, and I thrash my head against the bedding, so close that my lungs ache from the ragged sounds that are leaving me.
“Come for me, bunny. Let me taste your pleasure when I bond you.” The sharp nip of his teeth against my throat pushes me over the edge, and I clench around him, hands digging into his hair to press him harder against me.
One swipe of his tongue across my skin and then bliss as I feel the sharp pain of his claiming bite. The peach-colored threads of my soul lash out, twining so tightly around his that I can barely see the remnants of his light blue-gray.
I slump, head lolling as his emotions wash over me. His regret, his gratitude, his love. I hoard them all, crying softly as he moves, his knot fully swollen and pressing against the most delirious parts of my pussy.
Tilting his head, I strike, biting him back and completing our bond. He shudders, knot pushing into my pussy, and shouts his release for the world to hear. Laving my tongue across the mark, I pull his weight down onto my body, holding him as he weeps with relief.
“You’re mine, Caleb Michaels. My Alpha. My Fate-matched mate.”
Rolling us onto our sides, he peppers kisses all over my face before taking my lips.
“Yours, Skye. I’ve always been yours.”
