She arches, my breath hot on her skin.
“I love it,” she whispers. “Gods—don’t stop.”
I don’t.
She’s panting, boneless, her body sagging into the comforter.
My rhythm builds into something reckless, uncoordinated, and primal as my own orgasm looms. My knot starts to inflate, making every sensation intensify.
“I’m going to come, Ren. And you’re going to come with me.”
“Your knot… I don’t know if—if I can take it. Not there. You’re too big.” She’s trembling, caught in a pleasure so high, it feels like the whole damn world might shatter.
I hold her tightly, sweat plastering our skin together. “Yes, you can. You’re going to take it because you’re made for me. My mate.”
“Fuck, yes!” She shatters.
Her cry slices through the air like a siren’s call. Her body tightens around me, and the second I feel it, I lose all control.
I follow her over the edge, groaning her name as heat floods through me.
Behind us, Dax lets out a low, primal sound that scrapes against my chest.
Ren and I collapse in a heap on the bed, and once my knot shrinks enough, I roll off her and pull free, sweat-slicked and spent. My heart pounds in my chest still chasing hers.
Dax strides over to the bottom of the bed with a smirk firmly on his face. “So…” he pants. “Who’s better, little Red?”
I glance at him, half-glaring. Of course the sick fuck made this a competition. Asshole.
“Better?” Ren lifts her head, eyes still glazed over. “What do you mean?”
“I think he’s asking who fucked you the best,” I explain.
My body’s still humming. She shouldn’t have to answer his ridiculous question, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t also want to know the answer to it.
“It was me,” Dax says smugly. “I won. I know it.”
“Fuck off. There’s no way.”
He ignores me. “So, Red. Who was it? Who won? Me, right? It was me.”
“Oh, that’s easy…” Pushing herself to her elbows, Ren’s lips curve into a wicked smile. “I did.”
Chapter 14
Torin
I’m not used to this.
Control has always been my bread and butter, the way I live my life. I’ve been trained to rule this way since birth as my father’s first and only son.
To have it shared, to have to work around the whims and fancies of another alpha, feel like I’ve lost my fucking mind.
But here I stand with Mathis and a part of me yields to him because he is my mate’s mate.
What a world.
What a fucking twist of heartless fate. Our packs worked together better than I ever thought possible in our absence.
