So then why is my jealousy trying to rear its ugly head?

It would be no surprise to me if Nyx has people constantly frequenting his bed. After all, he’s an alpha king. Any female would be lucky to lay with him for a night or two.

I hope that this isn’t the same—just a one-time thing that will end in us trying to forget it once morning rolls around.

Nyx’s mouth makes a puckering sound when he pulls back from my clit, lifting his head up from between my legs. “Hey.”

My eyes lock with his, confusion bubbling up within me. Did I do something wrong?

“Stay with me,” he says, his fingers curling over that spot once again and driving me mad.

Groaning, I say, “I am…”

“You were doing that thing where you were far away,” he says. All three fingers stop right when they reach that spot and press up to apply pressure to it. “I want you here with me, Raine. I need you focused on me. Not on anything else.”

God, how can I focus on anything when you’re making me feel like this?

Nodding, my head falls back on the bed.

“Say, ‘yes Nyx.’” His fingers stroke quickly over the spot, over and over again in short motions.

My body jerks from the spike of pleasure. “Oh gods!”

“Say it,” he demands.

My orgasm is building so quickly that I can barely think, let alone string a few words together like he’s asking me to. How the hell has he been able to drawthreefucking orgasms out of me in the span of barely ten minutes?

Have I really been this pent-up since breaking up with Aiden? Or maybe the pregnancy hormones are making me go crazy. Either way, my body seems to wantmore, more, more.

“Y-yes…Nyx.”

“Good girl,” he praises.

My legs snap shut around his arm as an orgasm rips through me again. “Ohhhh!”

“That’s it,” he’s saying through the haze in my mind. “Keep coming for me, Raine. I want to see you come undone.”

Nyx

She truly is a sight to behold, her body twitching on the bed while her tight walls try to milk my fingers like they would my cock.

It makes sense that she’s built for sex like this—after all, she is a breeder. She’s meant to draw out the pleasure of others while taking as much for herself as she can in the process, leading to the experience of both parties being completely unforgettable.

My eyes drag along her entire body with satisfaction, seeing the effects that I’ve had on her while we’ve only just scratched the surface.

Moving from that deliciously twisted expression on her face, to her chest that’s rapidly expanding and falling from her panting through her orgasm, down to the incredible curves of her hipsthat are perfect for grabbing onto, my eyes finally land on her slightly swollen belly.

Something blooms in me, then. An ugly feeling that tears through my chest, rising quick enough within me that I have to clamp down before my wolf can set it free.

Jealousy.

The male who had her before me is lucky I don’t know who he is. I’d tear him limb from limb for touching her—having her before I could—and leaving behind the evidence of his abandonment.

Raine deserves better. I willshow hershe does. She isn’t leaving this room until I’ve gotten the memories of her ex-lover well and truly purged from her mind, like they should’ve been long ago.

I hadn’t planned on any of this. The thought of putting my hands on her outside of the casual gesture of brushing our arms together as we walk never crossed my mind. However, the moment she kissed me, I was done for.
