Page 99 of Curvy Dirty Omega

What if she really did need me? Was I going to deny her? Such a strong omega who didn’t trust anyone, and yet she was reaching for me, asking me not to leave her.

It was killing me that I couldn’t figure out what it was she wanted from me. Did she just want my company so she wasn’t alone with Liam, or did she need me for something else?

“I need more,” Lucy confessed, those bright grey eyes looking up at me imploringly, almost as if she were ashamed. “Help me.”

Liam buried his face in one side of her neck, giving me the room I needed if just for an instant.

Leaning down, I let my lips hover over hers, watching her face and eyes for anything that might tell me what she was thinking or feeling, but I still had no idea how to read her, even now – even when my alpha instincts should be telling me exactly what to do when there was an omega in heat before us.

What a beautiful mystery.

Lucy moved forward just the littlest bit, but it was enough. I felt her teeth scrape against my flesh as she pulled me down by my bottom lip, holding it captive between her vicious little teeth. “I said help me, Cassius. Do something.”

This fucking omega…

Just as I was about to kiss her, I realized what I was supposed to be doing and it was not this.

My gaze slid to Liam, and he smirked at me.

That fucker was smirking at me.

“But I’m not done yet, Lucy.”

Her gaze turned to him, watching Liam with wide eyes as he moved so his entire body was covering her – a monstrous beast hovering over such a delicate thing. His grin was sharp and his eyes glowed so brightly she was all he could see – all she could want.

Shoving down the hurt that came out of nowhere, trying to choke me as if I were drowning, I took the opportunity to take a step back and try to clear my head.

I wasn’t here to get her through her heat the same way Liam was. I was just here to make sure he didn’t do something he’d regret – something that she’d never forgive him for. My only purpose in his life was to control any damage he may or may not cause.

This was the same thing.

Because Lucy wasn’t just some random omega we’d picked up to try to ease some of our raging alpha instincts. She was his first love – the girl he’d spent more than half his life looking for.

Just because we’ve shared everything else, that didn’t mean he was going to share this – that she would even want to be shared.

I sat in the armchair beside the bed despite the fact that every fucking muscle in my body was so tight it actually hurt. Forcing my arms to drape over the armrests and appear relaxed was almost more than I could handle, but I managed it – the syringe full of the sedative Liam had asked for heavy in my hand.

Watching them was better than nothing, I supposed, but it was also the worst torture I’d ever experienced. This was even more painful than that time my jaw shattered and it had to be wired shut so it would heal right.

Liam yanked Lucy up as he shifted into a kneeling position in the center of the bed, one large hand on her lower back as he held her in place so he could hold her face with the other, staring into her eyes like he could survive on the sight of her alone.

He didn’t need food or sleep or even air if he had Lucy, and for a second, I wondered if he would even need me after he finally got the bond he wanted.

The way I knew there was a difference between Liam and me was because no one else on this fucking planet would have picked up on that tiny feeling I buried down as quickly as I could. His red gaze slid to mine and there was a flicker of something almost apologetic in them.

No other alpha could be this attuned to another alpha – even one they liked enough to occasionally fuck. My instincts were geared towards omegas, but Liam’s? His were geared toward everyone in a way I could never match.

“Let me show you what it means to be with a legacy alpha first,” Liam murmured, his eyes still locked on mine. “Then we can see if you still need Cassius.”

CHAPTER 35

Cassius

Those long, thick fingers grabbed her ass, digging in. They forced the flesh to the side to show me her back entrance and the sight of Liam’s dick disappearing inside her, his base knot swelling already…I’d never forget what that looked like and it would haunt me for the rest of my fucking life, reminding me of what I could never have.

“Ride me, Lucy. See what it feels like to have that secondary knot rubbing against you with every movement.”

I didn’t dare close my eyes no matter how badly I wanted to. I may be stronger than most legacy alphas, but I wasn’t one no matter how much it seemed like I was. Only a true legacy possessed a primary and secondary knot.
