“Never worry about me, baby girl. I can take care of myself.” My tone has gone low and slightly dark.
She catches her breath. “Thank you for coming to find me. I felt lost without you.”
Her words, said so openly yet shyly, nearly have me falling to my knees in front of her. She is perfection.
Grasping her chin lightly, I drop my gaze to her lips briefly. “I will always come for you. You are mine, remember.”
She nods, but her cheeks blush, which would alert me to her activities if I couldn’t already smell it on her.
“Tell me, Sophia. Did you enjoy taking Nico to your bed last night?” The crushing on my chest makes it difficult to breathe, but I have two choices. Walk away, or accept that I’m not the only alpha in the compound that she wants to be with.
Her gaze shoots up to mine, fear clouding her eyes.
“Do you want him, or was it a bit of fun for you?” I press her, wanting to hear what she has to say.
“Last night, I needed him,” she says. “Does that make you not want me anymore?”
“Well, that depends.”
Scaring her with my words wasn’t my intention. I just want the truth from her. “I know during your heat, I gave you what you needed. I gave you what you needed when you needed it. As you say, Nico did last night. Can you tell me with absolute honesty that is all it was with both of us? Did you use us, and now we mean nothing to you? Or is this more, is this what Iknowit is for me?”
The deliberation in her eyes is deep and worried. She contemplates lying to me, but then she sticks her chin up and gives me a fierce stare.
“No, that is not true. I want you both. Yes, I used you, but itwasn’tdirty and soulless like you are making it out to be. There is something there with both of you, and if you can’t handle that, then I suggest you turn around and walk out of here, never to return.”
Relief floods me that she still wants to be with me, but the worry about how I will share her plagues me. Can I do that? Can I watch her be with someone else right in front of me. Staring into those deep green, eyes, I smile because the answer is obvious. Without Nico, I won’t have her. And that is wholly unacceptable to me. “I have no problem with that under one condition.”
“What is that?”
Stepping into her personal space, I lean down, whispering in her ear. “You are mine, Sophia. You are allowed to be with other men, if you choose, because I say it’s okay. Do you accept that?”
I’m being bold, fierce, and protective. She brings that out in me. I want to be her prime alpha and dominating myselfnowbefore anyone else gets a chance to will solidify that role with her and Nico, and, the question hangs there, anyone else she wants to bring into her life.
She turns her face slightly so that our lips are millimetres apart. I want to kiss her so badly, my heart is aching.
“I accept that,” she murmurs. “I will inform my father that we are to be mated.”
Smiling, I shake my head. “While I appreciate the offer, that ismyjob as your future prime alpha, princess.”
She nods and lowers her eyes submissively. My cock jumps to attention as I reach out, lifting her chin up so she will look me in the eye when I say my next words. “I want to mate with you soon, Sophia. I want you to present yourself to your future prime before you allow me the honour of claiming you, body and soul, in front of your other alpha, so he knows that you belong to me. Do you want that, Sophia?”
Her breathing has gone ragged, and her eyes a darker green filled with a desire that has my dick going hard.
“Yes, I want that.”
Pressing my mouth to hers, I sweep my tongue over her lips until she opens up so I can drive into her and twist it around hers.I’m a completely different beast around her. She forces the primal side of my personality to the surface, and I’ve come to realise that I enjoy it.
She responds with a passion that I wish we could see through but now is hardly the time for that.
“Soon,” I rasp, pulling away from her and then leaving the sitting room before I pounce on her, teeth bared to claim her with a mating bite that will make her mine forever.
ChapterThirty-Five
Sugar
Feeling my knickers dampen from my interaction with Trent, I inhale to catch the last of his lingering scent. If I hadn’t known already that he was meant to be mine, I would’ve figured it out today. With the window of my bedroom opened but a crack, some fifty metres away from where he was standing with my dad outside, and with Nico’s scent all around me, Istillcaught Trent’s earthy summer rain gorgeousness.
Speaking of Nico, I had better go and have a conversation with him. I realised last night that I want more from him. He loves me. More than I can imagine and never even noticed before. He treated me like a true princess, loving my body with sweet tenderness when I needed it and a rough fuck when it became too much for us to bear. I want him as part of my new pack…pack — is that the right word? With Trent as the prime and me as his mate, he has said he would allow me to be with Nico…but does that mean mate with him also?
