Chapter 21 Lark #2
For someone so incredibly lethal, he certainly has a soft heart. Or maybe that tenderness is only reserved for me.
I kind of like that.
No. I love it. Which is equal parts terrifying and exciting.
I’m basically swooning over this powerful alpha who adores bloodshed.
Whatever.
If an insanity charge is in my future, I accept it.
“I’ve only had sex,” I tell Noah, wanting to do something to help him feel more secure in our dynamic. “Nothing else.”
“So no sucking cock and no anal,” he reiterates. “Only in the pussy and it wasn’t a knot.”
Pretty sure my face is currently on fire. But I nod.
Which earns me a look from Lazarus.
So, out loud, I confirm with a “Yes. That’s accurate.”
And I really want to go hide forever now.
“How do you feel about anal?” he asks, his tone matter of fact and exceptionally businesslike. I suspect he talks about stocks in a similar manner.
Er, well, maybe not.
Noah doesn’t seem like the investment kind of guy. Financial discussions are probably handled by Johan. Maybe Lazarus. But definitely Johan.
“Are you okay with the idea of taking a knot up the ass?” Noah presses, causing Johan to sigh beside me.
“You don’t have to answer that,” my fellow hacker murmurs.
“She does,” Noah argues. “Because I need to understand what I can and can’t do to her.”
“We haven’t even fucked her yet. Let’s not force her to talk about what she may or may not want until she’s ready.”
“So you want to wait until she’s in heat and just, what, guess?
” Noah snorts. “I would much rather know what she likes and what she’s open to me doing to her before she’s an incoherent mess of need.
” He looks at me. “And I mean that description in the most loving way possible, pet, because I can’t fucking wait until you’re wet and begging. ”
Pretty sure I’m halfway there, I think, swallowing as my thighs squeeze together for the thousandth time since meeting these alphas.
“There are lots of things we would like to do to you,” Lazarus murmurs, his body directly across from mine. He appears to be relaxed in his dress shirt, but I can see the subtle flex in his jaw. I don’t know if the conversation is making him uncomfortable… or turning him on.
Perhaps both?
I certainly feel a mixture of discomfort and arousal. But the discomfort is being caused by the arousal. So…
I clear my throat. “I am open to experimenting,” I start, trying to answer Noah’s questions without repeating his phrases. “When my heat comes… I would just ask that I have what I need to stay hydrated and fed. And maybe… maybe some pillows for a nest.”
Noah’s expression brightens with excitement. “Yes, let’s talk about your nest. What items do you need? Any fabric preferences? Scents? Do you want any of our clothes?” He starts taking off his shirt. “I can give you this. Want me to come in it for you?”
And I’m gaping at him again.
Not only because of everything he’s just said, but because he’s now shirtless.
“You’re welcome to help me out, pet,” he murmurs, waggling his brows.
“You’ll have to use your hands, though. If I put my cock in your mouth, I won’t be able to pull out until you’ve swallowed my entire load.
And if I’m in your pussy or ass, I’m keeping my cum inside you for a while.
Oh, which brings me to knot-warming limits. ”
Johan shuts his laptop. “I’m going to get a drink.”
“Getting hard over there, tech boy?” Noah drawls.
“Been hard for hours,” Johan returns, standing.
And yep. There’s a very obvious bulge in his pants.
This is… Well, this is a lot.
But I’m confused by something—many things?—Noah said. “What is knot warming?” I ask slowly.
“Like cock warming, only with the knot.”
He says it so seriously, like I should just… understand him.
“I don’t know what that is,” I admit, frowning. “Like… holding your… umm… with my hand…?” That wasn’t very eloquent. But I don’t understand what it means.
However, the smile that crosses his face tells me he’s very pleased. “Oh, I call first cock warming,” he says, then looks at Lazarus and Johan. “Do not take that from me.”
“You can’t keep claiming firsts, Noah,” the don informs him flatly.
“Says the man who has already taken the one I wanted.”
“I called it first,” Lazarus tells him. “And she consented.” That last part seems to be for Johan more than Noah.
These three men are going to drive me insane. “Would someone please explain cock warming to me before I steal Johan’s laptop and research it myself?”
Noah’s eyebrows go up.
And Lazarus smothers a laugh.
“Go ahead,” Johan urges me. “I’m curious about what kind of results you’ll get.”
I scowl at all three of them. “Stop treating me like I’m a na?ve little toy and explain, or I’m leaving.”
“I would much rather demonstrate,” Noah says as Lazarus leans across the table.
“Aurora.” The way my name leaves his tongue is hypnotic, mostly because he underscored it with a slow rolling of the r’s, almost like a purr. “Noah’s asking how long he can leave his cock inside you after knotting you.”
Noah nods. “Yes. I need limits for your pussy, ass, and mouth.”
“I…” I have no idea how to respond to this. Or… or that. “I don’t…. You want to knot my mouth?” I’m not sure that’ll feel great. Actually, I’m pretty sure it could suffocate me and kill me.
“For your mouth, I would prefer that you use it like a pacifier and just suck on it for hours. In your pussy and ass, yes. I want my knot to live inside you. For however long you’re comfortable.”
Johan returns to the table then and sets a drink in front of me.
I don’t even bother asking what it is, just pick it up and drink.
Noah groans. “Ah, yes, see, that kind of swallowing is exactly what I want to feel around my dick.”
I choke on the liquid, nearly sputtering it everywhere.
“Well, maybe not like that,” he says, sounding a little less pleased. “But we’ll work on it.”
Johan gently thumps my back, trying to help me breathe properly again. “I think that’s enough for now, Noah,” he says, a note of dominance in his tone. “Give her a break.”
“Are you going to say that when you’re mid-orgasm and she can’t take any more?” Noah demands. “Our pet needs lessons, not coddling.”
My eyes widen. “Lessons?”
He nods. “On how to take our knots.” He sets his shirt on the table. “Come over here, and I’ll give you one before the meeting.”
Part of me wants to tell him to fuck off, irritated that he’s implying I need to be taught how to take him.
But another part of me sees it as a dare I want to accept. If anything, just to prove him wrong.
I’ve not been with an alpha before. However, I understand the concept of it. I’ve read some books.
None of them talked about cock warming or knot warming, though.
Still, I’m an omega. I’m practically built to bring this man to his knees.
And he wants to teach me a lesson on his knot?
Maybe I can teach him a lesson instead.
In not underestimating me.
I may not be experienced. But I’m not one to back down from a challenge.
So I push back from the table and stand. “All right, Noah. You want to teach me a lesson? Then begin. I’m ready to learn.”
