“You want me to rut you through your heat? You want me to take care of you?”
“Yes,” I beg. “I do.”
Rhett
She’s been a prisoner of the Uncorrupted, and somehow, against all odds, Ethan has just gotten her out. I mean, I knew he was doing something deep undercover, but this is pretty fucking wild. Lucian must know who she is.
Asshole. A little warning might have been nice. The scars on her body tell a story. They enrage me, too. Whoever did that to her, I want to fuck them up.
But that is for later, not now when she’s in heat and I’m all she’s got. I just need to stay in control. As my brother said, putting my mark on her would be really bad. Pissing off Ethan Black is not high on my to-do list. As for the government, I’m a hacker, and my brother runs a criminal empire; we don’t need them poking their nose around our lives.
But I find that my mind is all over the place, and primitive emotions bombard me. That wounded look she gave me makes ahell of a lot of sense. It’s impossible to imagine what she’s been through living with the enemy all that time, around their filth, reading their minds.
A sense of fierce protectiveness surges inside me. She’s in my arms, all soft and trembling, our scents and body heat mingling.
She’s not yours,I remind myself. This is possibly the most important omega in the universe, and, somehow, I’m the one.
She clings tighter, almost like she senses my conflict. Has something escaped my control?
But no, the mental barrier is still in place, and I need to keep it there.
“Why don’t we move to the bed?” …The empty bed. It’s just a bare mattress after I stripped everything off it. Don’t know why I feel weirdly disappointed that she doesn’t want to nest. This is temporary. So am I. Just a dick to help her through. This is about her, not me, and whatever the fuck is going through my head… It’s not a personal slight against me that she’s not making a nest.
What the fuck is that about?
Focus, idiot. You have an omega with needs. Give her what the fuck she needs.
I drag the towel out from between us. My cock is right there against the pussy with her slick heat rubbing against my length. The world starts spinning.
Damn, I need to get her on the bed. I surge to my feet and drop her in the center or try to. Her arms and legs wrap tight, and she clings.
“Let go, baby. I can’t fuck you like this.”
My dick flexes. I’m leaking so much pre-cum, I can feel it trickling down my balls. It takes a few long seconds, with her hanging off me, before her arms loosen and drop. Her hair, a mid-brown color and really glossy, is all spread out like a fan against my white mattress. A rattly purr erupts from my chest,so sudden and so loud it makes me jump. I capture a lock of her hair between my fingers—soft.
Damn, she’s pretty with those pale brown freckles across her nose.
“I know you’re in heat,” I say. “But I’m going to take it as slow as I can. I don’t want to…”I have zero experience with omegas in heat or otherwise, and I don’t want to fuck this up. “…hurt you.”
“You won’t,” she says, with a confidence I wish I shared.
This should be instinctive, but then, I’m a faulty alpha at best. She’s an omega who’s been through trauma, and I owe it to her to treat her with care.
I brush my fingertips over her lower lip, and she parts for me. Her tears have dried up, but her cheeks bear the stains, and her lashes are still damp. “Would it be okay if I kissed you?”
“Yes, I trust you.”
Her words are heady. “All right then,” I say as gently as I can muster. “We’ll start with a kiss.”
I know a lot about kissing… and fucking, just not with omegas. But I can do this—kiss her and make sure she’s ready in every way before my dick gets inside her.
I slant my lips over hers. At that first touch, a little zap of electricity arcs between us.
She fidgets. I drop my hips to pin her still. Now my lower belly is against her hot pussy, and her wetness smears all over me. She groans into my mouth.
I taste her, tangling my tongue with hers, deepening the kiss. Sweet, hot, and drugging all at once. When was kissing someone ever this good?
It strikes me that there’s something slightly off about her movements, unpracticed maybe, a little hesitation. The alpha bastards in the Uncorrupted probably never gave a shit about taking care of her.
