Page 12 of Marking Mia

I don’t think. I unbutton my pants and free myself. Bringing the panties to my face with one hand, I inhale deeply while stroking myself with the other. God, her scent is intoxicating.

The smell of her musky, sweet aroma fills my senses as I pump my eager cock, desperate for release after spending hours with her in a little café.

Keeping my eyes on her pretty breasts spilling out of her tank top, I lose myself in the moment. I want nothing more than to be inside her, to feel her clench around me as she orgasms, screaming my name. I want to knot her, to keep her with me, feeling her warmth as I breathe heavily against her neck, knowing she’s mine.

Meanwhile, Jace kneels in the dark, clearly enraptured by the omega’s beauty. His gaze lingers on her full lips as he leans forward, gently brushing his lips against hers.

The sight is overwhelming.

I come hard, barely managing to avoid releasing on Mia’s face. Instead, I let loose on the other side of the bed, where I assume Justin lies. The bastard.

I want it to bemelying next to her each night. Not just as a lover but as her mate. Her alpha husband.

Jace removes his shirt as he steps away from Mia. Withouta word, he tucks it under her side of the bed. He doesn’t need to explain his actions; he’s marking his territory, getting her accustomed to our scents.

Because Mia would be ours.

The townhouse is quiet. Too quiet.

I haven’t seen Jace or Finn in a few hours, leaving me to wonder what they’re up to. Whatever it is, it was likely Jace’s idea. He’s always been impulsive, and Finn often gets pulled along for the ride.

It’s just like them to wander off and get into trouble without me. I vaguely consider tracking them down to figure out what’s going on.

Jace’s fascination with this supposed ‘omega’ could get us all in trouble if she really isn’t one.

I make my way downstairs, ready to put a stop to their plans. Just as I reach the bottom step, they both walk in through the front door.

Their eyes are wild, their movements frantic. Something has excited them.

“Do I even want to know what you two have been up to?” I ask, folding my arms across my chest.

“We followed the female that Jace believes is an omega,” Finn begins, surprisingly thefirst to speak.

I growl, deep and low. Now, Jace has pulled Finn into his fantasies.

“No, wait. Hold on,” Finn continues. He pulls something from his back pocket. “We brought this.”

He holds out a pair of panties to me.What the fuck?Not exactly what I was expecting. I frown but reach out and take them.

“I still don’t—” I stop. That scent. I hold the panties up and inhale deeply.

The scent of honey, intoxicating and sweet, surrounds me. This isn’t the scent of a human. Jace was right. I bring the panties to my nose again, breathing her in. This scent is intoxicating and overwhelming.

The wolf within me demands that I make this omega mine.

How can she be without a pack? Where is her family? It feels impossible that an omega would be left alone like this to fend for herself.

She needs protection. She needsus.

“You were right,” I grudgingly admit. “This is the scent of an omega.”

“I love hearing that,” Jace grins while Finn chuckles.
