Page 98 of In the Mouth of the Wolf

His cock slid further into my mouth, and I swirled my tongue around him, using my hands to rub his knot.

My head moved up and down, my eyes trained on his, loving the way he watched me. His expression gave away every sensation he felt, and he was soon reaching climax again.

“Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t…”

I pulled away completely and he grunted in frustration. “I can’t take it, you win. The codes are in locker 23 at the train station. Just let me come…”

Smiling sweetly, I patted him on the cheek. “Mr. Lim, do you think we didn’t check there? Lying will only hurt you.” I pulled my nightgown off my body and sat back on my heels. “At least one of us should get off tonight, don’t you think?”

I grabbed one of my breasts and slid my hand down towards my clit, rubbing it slowly. The scent of Archer’s lust, sea salt and jasmine, had me dripping wet, and I brought my fingers to his mouth, slowly pushing them inside.

He greedily sucked them clean, his eyelids fluttering as he tasted me.

Then I took his cock, throbbing and ready to explode, and rubbed it against my clit, moving it down towards my entrance. “Last chance, Mr. Lim.”

“They’re under the bench at the north entrance to Springs Park! I swear it!”

I carefully lowered myself over him, my pussy more than ready to take him fully. Stopping at the knot, I rolled my hips, stimulating my clit until I was just about to come, and then dropped down completely. Our orgasms tore through us, and he ripped through the silk scarves and sat up, ignoring his fractured ribs and sinking his teeth into the crook of my neck, opposite the side Elias and Nolan had chosen.

Stars exploded in my vision, and I reached behind me to grab his thigh for support. “Oh, Archer,” I whimpered. His release was relentless, and I surrendered myself to the pleasure, letting my own climax hit me again and again until my body shook from the effort.

He licked the bite marks to help seal them, kissed me, and then laid back down, grimacing and reaching for the medicine on the nightstand. “Worth it,” he chuckled painfully, popping one in his mouth.

The connection between me and Archer became stronger, and all the love we felt for each other poured through, my heart feeling nearly full.

Just one more to go.

Normally I enjoyed the time it took for my alphas’ knots to deflate, taking the opportunity to cuddle. But I couldn’t lay on Archer’s chest without hurting him, so I gestured for his book. “Why don’t I read that to you?”

He shrugged and handed it to me. “How many shifters do you think have knotted while reading non-fiction to each other?”

I gave him a little shrug. “What can I say, I’m a trailblazer. What page?

“Seventy-two,” he said, reaching down to give my ass a gentle squeeze.

Scrolling through the table of contents, I noticed something strange. “Hey, these battles sound familiar.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s just…” My bond with Archer deepened with each moment, his curiosity coming through so clearly it felt like my own. And in the far distance, I could feel Cam seething in anger.

Poor guy. I’d never meant for him to be last. “How were the locations chosen?”

He rubbed his chin with his thumb as he thought. “I suppose the same way lots of battle locations are – geographical advantages, logistical considerations, defensive positioning, that sort of thing. Why?”

“In that book you gave me on shifter history, it mentioned that we first appeared in groups sporadically around the world. These battle locations seem to correspond. Like here – the Battle of Sedona, close to where shifters started the skinwalker legends. And here, the Battle of Mt. Fuji. Didn’t shifters come from somewhere near there and start the kitsune myth? And here we have the Battle of Skye in Scotland, nearby where stories of wolf-shifting warriors come from. That can’t be a coincidence, can it?”

Archer took the book from me and started reading down the list. “You might be onto something. There’s one in India as well and a few others in the Middle East.” His cock hardened a bit, making me gasp and then laugh.

“This turns you on?”

He put the book down and reached up slightly, his fingers running along his new mark. “Youturn me on. Being bonded to an intelligent and wickedly sexy omega is more than I ever dreamed of.”

I leaned down, bracing myself on my hands to make sure I didn’t put any weight on his injuries. “I have so much love for you all, and I already feel like there isn’t enough time in the day to give each of you the attention you deserve. Are you sure you’re open to bringing in someone new? I don’t want to ruin this.”

His fingers pushed back the hair that fell in my face, and he studied my features closely. I lost myself in his dark brown eyes, framed by the kind of eyelashes girls paid good money to fake. A straight nose above his soft lips and a day’s worth of black stubble making its way across his defined jaw. He was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at him.

“If having to divide my time with you a little more guarantees I still at leasthavetime with you, Cam can bond to as many new alphas as it takes to keep you in my life. Even if we were only alone one day a week, a month, a year… Even if you were so tired by the time my turn came around that all you wanted to do was sleep, it would be worth it. You are that precious to me.”
