Chapter 36
SKYLAR
I’ve never felt soalive.
I looked at Landon, at his flushed cheeks and sweet chocolate eyes, and knew it was time for him to claim me.
As wild as this Heat may be, my inner Omega still knows what she wants.
It’s the same thing my heart wants.
Landon lays me gently on my nest, sitting on his knees next to me and unbuttoning his shirt.
He’s wrecked. His lips and chin are shiny with my slick and his usually perfect hair is all over the place.
He catches me staring, and he chuckles. “How are you feeling?” he asks me softly, tossing his shirt off the side of the bed.
A very un-Landon like thing to do, but it makes my cunt flutter to see him lose control.
“I feel like I’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” I admit.
He gives me a grin, even as sweat beads down his forehead. “I haven’t had a Rut this powerful before,” he admits, crawling over me. He leans down to kiss me, and I hum against his lips in reply. “You have this incredible capacity to strip every ounce of control from me.”
“Mmm. Good. I like to see you like this,” I whisper as he pulls down my top.
“I haven’t even been able to appreciate these yet,” he groans, sucking on my nipple, hard. He hollows out his cheeks and worships each one, causing me to squirm and gasp underneath him.
I’m already near the edge again.
“So close already, sweetheart?” he whispers knowingly. “My poor, sweet Omega. Whatever shall I do with you?”
I whimper as his lips find my mating gland. He takes his time, licking and nuzzling, until I’m gasping underneath him, and his cock is hard against my stomach.
“I love you, Skylar,” he whispers to me. “And I’m so honored to be loved by you.”
He sits up to unbuckle his jeans and undress, then he’s back on top of me, his cock pressing against my entrance.
“Do you want the others here?” he asks softly. “Do you want them to watch, or do you want it to just be us?”
Landon slowly slides into me as I moan against him.
“Because I know how much you like to be watched,” he whispers against my lips. “And I’m more than happy to oblige.”
He thrusts against me slowly, the bed shaking with each movement.
“Just us, for now,” I whisper. “Take me, Alpha.”
His thrusts become faster, and I lift my hips, meeting his movements with my own.
“I love you,” he chokes out. “I love you, Skylar.”
The bed creaks, and the wet sounds of his cock slapping inside me fill the room.
It doesn’t take long for another orgasm to hit me.
He groans as my cunt grips him through his thrusts. “You’re like a glove,” he hisses through gritted teeth. “Gripping me so tightly. I’m not going to last, Skylar. Fuck.”
I’m still coming when I feel his cock start to swell inside me.
“Oh,” I gasp, my eyes widening as he growls into my neck, sweat dripping down his forehead as he slams into me.
Landon’s rougher than he’s ever been as he fucks me, and I savor every second, pleasure white hot around me as I feel his cum spurt inside me.
He comes with a hard groan, kissing me deeply as the movements send me into a second orgasm.
“I love you,” I whisper. “Do it, Landon, please, claim me?—”
Time stops as his teeth sink into my mating gland.
The sensation is beyond words.
Landon claims me, both with his cock and his soul. He’s everywhere inside me. I sense his spirit mingle with mine.
He’s incredible.
Euphoria washes over me as he stuffs himself inside me, locking us tightly together.
His eyes are wide as he looks at me. “I love you,” he says incredulously, as if he’s seeing me for the first time. “I see all of you,” he whispers. “Oh.”
He continues to rock us back and forth, my cunt fluttering around his cock, as a tear slips down my face.
“Skylar,” he continues, his eyes full of wonder, “You’re incredible.”
But I’m too overwhelmed by what I feel in him.
The capacity of his heart, his ability to love selflessly—it defines who he is.
My brilliant, sweet, gentle Alpha.
He rolls us onto our side, still locked in me, and I bury my face in his chest and weep tears of elation.
Landon belongs to me. I belong to him.
I wake up sometime later,clean and surrounded by warm, fresh blankets.
Landon’s no longer inside me, but his arms are wrapped around me, pulling me to his chest.
His scent stands out more in my senses than River or Vincent’s, now that we’re mated.
There’s still the need inside me, as if the bond with Landon isn’t complete.
As if something—or someone—is still missing from it.
I’m not whole just yet, but I will be, once I have River and Vincent.
“How are you feeling, my love?” he asks me sweetly, pressing a kiss to my ear. His cock is hard against my ass, and I grind against it lazily.
“More like myself,” I sigh. “But I know it won’t last for long.”
“You probably only have about ten minutes before things get…intense again,” Landon says. “You need to eat and drink before that happens.”
I hear chatter and laughter coming from the front of the house.
River and Vincent.
I untangle myself from Landon’s arms and sit up. “Are they getting along?” I ask in disbelief.
Landon grins. “They are, actually. And it’s thanks to you.”
“What?”
He sits up and wraps his arms around me from behind, pulling me back to his chest. “They have one thing in common, at least,” he says. “They both love you. And if we’re a pack, we take care of each other. So, they’re going to have to at least tolerate each other.”
I think of earlier, when they were taking turns using my mouth.
They seemed to get along just fine then, too.
Landon chuckles, as if reading my mind. “It will take time, and it’s not like they can just erase everything that has happened,” he adds. “But…you’re ours. And we will always choose you over lingering in the past and tearing each other apart.”
I’m stunned. “River had mentioned that they had come to an agreement, but I never thought they would willingly be in the same room together without me.”
Landon hums and nibbles at my neck. “Well, someone has to feed you. And Vincent taught River how to cook a long time ago.”
My jaw drops. “Really?”
“Really. They’ve been cooking for you while we’ve been in here.”
I freeze, anxiety bubbling in my stomach. “Are they okay with?—”
I don’t even finish the sentence before he pulls me closer. “Yes,” Landon promises me. “We’re all on the same page.”
I sag against him. Part of me was worried that there would be problems if I chose Landon first or didn’t have all three of them claim me at the same time.
But I should have known.
“It’s been on your terms this whole time,” he reminds me. “And it always will be.”
My stomach growls loudly, and Landon chuckles.
“You need to eat something,” he says.
“I don’t feel hungry, though. I just want to go back to sleep,” I insist.
“Nope. We’ve got maybe five minutes now before you lose your mind and I have the urge to fuck you against the wall. So, let’s make sure you eat and are hydrated before those things happen.”
I don’t bother arguing with him, because I know I’ll lose.
Instead, I let him help me dress and lead me to the kitchen.
