Lacing his palms beneath my ass, Noah hoists my thighs around his waist, moving smoothly to stay as quiet as possible.

After carrying me down the hall in silence, Noah shuts our bedroom door behind us with a softclick, careful not to wake Ari. But as we stare into each other’s eyes, listening in for any sign of our little Omega stirring, my heartbeat picks up the pace.

Teal irises swirl into a light green before my eyes, taking my breath away; Noah looks ready to pounce.

But I don't feel a drop of pressure. I feel desired, washing away every concern I've had about my ever-changing postpartum body.

Easing his lips against mine, Noah gives me a whole-body kiss, pressing tighter against me as our mouths glide over each other. We keep ourselves hushed, but our bond fills the silence in my mind, erupting with a melodic, sugary lust.

Our emotions course through my blood, but their intensity doesn’t fully hit me until Noah drops me onto the bed on my back, his hands splayed beside my shoulders. Dragging his stare down my body, Noah drinks me in.

“Beautiful.” Noah’s quiet, rumbling voice makes me shudder.

We take a moment to stare at each other—holding each other’s cheeks, tracing each other’s collarbones, and absorbing every minor emotion flickering through our bond.

“Noah, you make me feel at peace,” I whisper.

His eyebrows warp as our bond swirls. Dropping to his elbows, Noah laces our body heat together. I hum as he settles into my lips.

You make me want to be seen,Noah mindlinks.

We roll into each other at the same time, my hands roaming Noah’s back as he hikes my thigh higher on his hip. The mattress creaks as Noah grinds me into the edge of the bed, our lips colliding faster by the second.

But after a few tongue-heavy kisses, Noah stops.

Pulling back, Noah drags his cold nose down my bare sternum. His hot breath skates down my center, blowing soft currents of warmth down my chest until he pauses at my abdomen. Holding my hips in place, Noah lifts the edge of my shirt to kiss my loose stomach, every inch of my skin coated in stretch marks.

Noah’s eyes flit up to mine at my flood of shyness in our bond, but Noah’s purr sends another wave of heat to my groin.

He whispers against my skin. “Please, don’t be hard on yourself. This gorgeous body gave life to our child, and there’s nothing I can do that will ever thank it enough.”

My heart flips. “N-Noah...”

His kisses dip lower, stopping just above my clit. Warm hands skate further up my shirt, rolling it over my breasts.

With Noah’s gentle kisses over my breasts, my breath hitches. I immerse my fingers in Noah’s hair just as his hands skate back down, easing my pajama shorts off my hips with my panties inside. The tip of his cold nose barely brushes my inner thigh, and I widen my knees, my heartbeat throbbing throughout every limb.

Noah’s soft purr rumbles over my clit, and I suck in a sharp breath.

His eyes zip to mine, staring straight into my soul as he kisses my wet core. I clench with desire. His tenderness makes his every touch hotter, a heartbeat forming between my legs.

“I meant it, gorgeous Luna. You’re my true King,” Noah whispers.

My body flushes, fuzzy warmth cascading across my skin. “You’remytrue King, forever, Noah, no matter what anyone says. And for the record, your Omega side coming out to dote over Ari is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.”

Noah hums, giving me a slow kiss on my sensitive core. My knees squeeze his shoulders on their own, wetness pooling beneath my cheeks with the rush of pleasure he gives me. He’s hardly even touched me yet, but I'm coming unraveled for him.

But I know Noah is enjoying himself just as much, drinking up my yearning breaths with low purrs. “You need this attention tonight, don’t you?”

My soft whimper says enough, but my hips squirm at the thought of his hands, lips, and body on mine.

“Please,” I whisper. “I’ve missed you while we’ve been so busy and exhausted.”

“You don’t have to beg me, my love. I’ve missed you too. And I want to take my time mating you until you're so relaxed that you can finally get some deep sleep. Would you like me to please you with my tongue first to hold you over?”

My heart flips. “Yes. But even if it helps me last longer after, I don’t think I’ll last long now.”

Noah draws a deep, heated breath, allowing his exhale to skate over my bare skin through his nose. Desire coats our bond, making me shiver twice as hard as his breath continues to stimulate me.
