“Yeah?” Axxol’s eyes flashed white-hot cobalt and he shoved me higher up the wall. “You reek of them. I’m going to have to do something about that.”

AXXOL
It was a fucking mistake to touch her again. While this place existed outside of space and time, I could feel the strain of holding myself in two places at once. The rest of the squad hovered mid jump, stuck waiting for me.
But the fuck if I was going to leave without a taste.
A taste of my mate.
Mine, mine, minerepeated in my head, a thunderous clamor competing with the thudding of my heart. Insanity, yes, but I had to risk it. Risk everything. For this. For her.
I yanked at the front closure of her robe. I’d have skin for this. Bare, smooth, warm, living skin against my palm. The rounded curve of her stomach, carrying Red’s offspring. A tantalizing image of her nestling the youngling to her breast.
While I planted another in her womb.
“What…” Her breath hitched on a little gasp that made my dick pulse all the way to my spine. “Do you want?”
“Mine,” I gritted out, tightening my grip on her stomach. “Next. While Kroktl watches.”
Hot cum boiled out of me, spurting wave after wave on her stomach. Splashing the wall behind her, dripping down her thighs, spraying her breasts. I couldn’t stop coming now that the valve had been released. I soaked her in my scent, ruining the clothes she’d insisted on wearing.
Fuck. I hadn’t thought about stocking more useless pieces of material for her to wear. Not when I envisioned her naked on that bed, writhing and screaming between us. All of us.
“Sorry.” Panting, I dropped my mouth against her forehead. “Hopefully Riz packed more clothes in the bag.”
A strangled sound. “Breathe.”
Oh fuck. I loosened my grip on her throat and let her slide down the wall to her feet. Her hands flitted over my chest, light, hesitant touches that drove me mad. I wanted her clawing at me. Biting and screaming and kicking.
“What are you thinking about? Right now?”
I clenched my jaws for a moment, biting back a lying jeer to hide the truth. “Feeling that tight little cunt break my dick in half.”
“Oh.” Another strangled sound sent a prickle of dread down my spine. Until she leaned forward and rested her cheek against my heaving chest. “Maybe. After everyone’s safe. If Kroktl doesn’t mind.”
I squeezed my eyes shut, holding back a victorious roar that would deafen her and stall her heart with terror. “He won’t.”
“Are you sure—”
“He won’t,” I retorted, pushing her back so I could glare down into her face. “I’ll see to it. I’m still the fucking alpha of squad Z288C.”
Her lips quirked, a wry, knowing grin that tugged something inside me, tangling my intestines into knots. “I was going to ask if you’re sure you won’t mind settling for a human.”
All the times I’d spewed insults and derogatory comments her way. Those words—lies, every single one of one—sizzled like acid in the pit of my stomach. “I didn’t know alphas could be such fucking cowards. Red was always right about you.” I shoved my face down close to hers, twisting my lips to bare my teeth. “But if you tell him that, I’ll fucking slaughter you.”
Her eyes flared wide but she huffed out a laugh. “Got it.”
She saw right through me. As she always had.
Gruffly, I rubbed my thumb against her bottom lip. “I’ll take care of him.”
Then to avoid the blatant temptation of her luscious mouth, I merged with the squad and continued the jump.
