“It’s safer for you if you don’t know.” I give her a gentle smile and pat her arm. “But…you definitely won’t be upset about whateverdoeshappen.” The sight of Banesworth choking her against the wall is one that haunts me regularly.

She smiles like she knows exactly what I’m thinking of.

Yeah, I definitely like her.

Jo

Hayden can tell something is off.

He doesn’t say anything, but I know he can sense it. He sticks close to me while we eat lunch, his hand never leaving my thigh, and my omega peeks her eyes open a little more at the attention, secretly hoping he’s into voyeurism and might start fingering me under the table.

My hormones are all over the place.

Kole is nowhere to be seen, which I do not like, but he mentioned at breakfast something about being gone the restof the day, so I know not to worry.

I don’t know if it’s because Hayden is paying extra close attention to me, but something in me is…stirring. A need. It’s more than lust, and it’s deeper than the need to call him mine. His smoky-pepper scent is getting stronger the more I’m around him, and by the time we’re going back to my room after lunch, I’m ready to rip his clothes off.

“Damn, Fireball,” Hayden gasps as I straddle him on my bed, sucking at his neck. “What got you all hot and bothered, huh?”

“You,” I groan, grazing my teeth right over where my bite will go when I finally have my heat and we can bond.

Shit,thatthought came out of left field.

“Me?” he asks, surprise in his voice. “Have I done something?”

I sit up to grind myself on his erection. “Just being your usual, sunny self.” I gasp at the sensation, and then I’m off him, scrambling out of my clothes. I need him to knot me, like…now.

Wait. I don’t know if I can take a knot anymore. No more slick.

But…fuck, I’m willing to try.

“Clothes, off,” I order him, and he quickly sheds his own jumpsuit and briefs until he’s laying naked on my bed, his hard, weeping cock standing at attention. I want to take a second to appreciate the hard planes of muscle that he obviously works so hard to keep, but all I can focus on is his dick. My mouth descends upon him, sucking him fully down my throat, and his taste explodes on my tongue.

“Shit,shit! Jo…” he groans, his hands fisting my sheets while he tries to not buck his hips.

I pop off him, licking my lips as I move to straddle his waist. His fingers run through my folds, making my back arch and a low moan escapes me.

“Um, Jo?” I barely hear Hayden as I notch him at my entrance and sink all the way down on his perfect cock. He lets out a little moan as I take him.

“Fuuuuck, Darlin’,” I groan, my head falling back in bliss. “You fill me so good.”

“I—fuck,” he curses as I start moving my hips, letting him slide in and out of me with ease. “Jo, you’re—fuck, you’re producing slick.”

I freeze, looking down at where we’re joined. Just like he said, I’m saturating both of us with the slippery, clear substance.

There’s an implication to that that I’m not wanting to take too close a look at right now, but I’m all for taking advantage of the new opportunity it’s providing me.

A grin breaks out on my face. “That just means you get to knot me.”

He swallows. “I’ve never knotted anyone before. I’ve…I’ve only ever hooked up with betas. I’m glad you’re my first.”

I growl, my hand reaching for hair so I can yank the strands. “Don’t talk about other women when you’re inside me.”

His pupils blow, and he groans at the way my fingers pull his hair. “Sorry,” he moans, “just don’t stop moving those hips, baby.”

“Brat,” I snarl, then start moving again. His hands reach up to massage my tits while I’m riding him, and my head falls back in ecstasy. “Fuck, Hayden.” I gasp, feeling myself get close to the edge. “You’re gonna knot me, and then you’re gonna bite me, okay?”
