Chapter 38
VINCENT
I’ve keptit together this long.
My Rut is almost in full force, but I use every ounce of self-control I can muster to hold back my instincts.
If not for Skylar, then for River, who looks like he’s about to have a fucking breakdown.
But those cookies are the final straw.
“Your what?” Landon gasps, his eyes full of delight.
“Goddamn,” River moans as he chews the macaron. He leans against the counter, groaning. “Fuck.”
She put her slick in the cookies.
“I just…I wasn’t sure if you’d like them, but I thought it would be…fun.” Skylar tries to explain herself, but I shake my head.
“Fun,” I repeat, my voice a growl.
She nods nervously.
“You thought it would be fun to put your slick in the cookies?” I stalk towards her, going around the counter to face her.
It’s the sexiest, craziest thing I’ve ever head, and my cock is rock hard from her admission.
“Yes,” she squeaks.
I can’t stop myself. I lift her into my arms, and she moans and wraps her legs around my waist as I carry her to the bedroom.
“You put the sweetest, most delicious flavor in the world into cookies you made just for us?” I demand, placing her on the bed. She whimpers as she lies across the mattress, her dark hair fanning around her like a halo.
“Yes,” she hisses, arching her back. “Just for you.”
She’s going to wreck me.
My Rut was dangerously close to taking over, and this might be the final straw.
I need to taste those fucking cookies.
“I’ll be right back,” I tell her. “Undress.”
“Where are you going?” she whimpers. “Don’t leave me,” she adds in a quiet voice.
That stops me.
I know it”s partially her Heat talking, but I also hear the insecurity in her tone.
“Skylar,” I say, sitting on the edge of the bed. She looks up at me, her eyes glassy, her pupils wide. “I’m not leaving you. Ever. Do you understand me?”
Her eyes fill with tears. “I…” she flinches, and her scent deepens. “I know,” she finally says.
She fucking doesn’t.
I want to rage at every person that made her feel this way. I want to hunt down every man that ever treated her poorly and rip them to shreds for hurting her.
Even during her Heat, when every inhibition should be gone, she’s still terrified of being abandoned.
“You don’t believe me,” I breathe, pulling off my shirt and letting it fall to the floor. Her eyes widen and she licks her lips as her gaze falls to my chest. “You don’t believe that you’re everything to me.”
She doesn’t reply. She just watches me, her chest heaving.
“That, baby, is pretty fucking stupid,” a voice says, and I turn to see River standing in the doorway, his pupils huge.
The scent of Rut is thick in the air, heady and mixing with Skylar’s sweet Heat.
Landon joins him in the doorway, his eyes just as dark.
“I think we should demonstrate how ridiculous she’s being,” he says. “Show her just how much we want her.”
“Oh fuck,” Skylar murmurs.
“You know those cookies tasted just like your pussy?” River says. “You made a mistake, baby.” He takes a step forward. “I’m not ever going to get tired of that taste.”
She looks at me, then at River, her lips parting.
“I need…” she starts, but then cuts herself off, as if she’s embarrassed.
Absolutely not.
I run a hand up her thigh and she gasps. “You need what?” I demand. “Ask. Never hide from us.”
But she bites her lip and shakes her head, even as my fingers creep higher up her thigh. She’s already soaked through her cotton pants and her scent is concentrated there, making my head spin.
“Omega,” I growl. “Tell us. Now.”
My patience is gone.
I’ll be damned if I don’t give her what she wants for the rest of her life. Starting right fucking now.
“I want both of you,” she whispers, and I reward her with a quick rub of her soaked slit through her clothes. “You and River. Inside me. Please,” she chokes out.
I groan. “You think you can handle two cocks inside of you at once?” I demand, and River lets out a choked “fuck” from behind me.
“She’s done it before,” Landon says, still watching from the doorway. “She takes them so well. Don’t you, Skylar?”
Her eyes flutter closed. “Yes,” she chokes out.
And maybe it should be weird, given how much River can’t stand me.
But if she wants both of us at once, then that’s what she’ll get.
“Then get undressed,” I say simply. “And show me how you take River’s cock.”
