With a soft moan, I couldn’t hold myself back and I didn’t want to. My lips eagerly parted to welcome Liam's kiss that felt like he was going to devour me and take control just like I needed someone to. I hadn’t realized just how much.
This kiss was heat and need as my body was hauled tighter into his and he lifted my leg over his leg—not quite tall enough to reach his hip.
Liam’s hands started to roam, becoming more demanding as I whimpered and whined for him. He traced every soft curve I was slowly developing with the help of steady meals they fed me, and his reverence left both of us breathless.
In a haze of desire, Liam finally stumbled backward a step, pulling me away from him to look me in the eyes with pure dominance and power. The world fell away around us as we lost ourselves in each other, consumed by a hunger that could not be denied.
Defined.
Clothes were pushed away from shoulders in a frenzy of desperation for something more. Liam's hands roamed even more hungrily, igniting sparks of pleasure that danced along my nerve endings.
With a low growl, Liam claimed my lips again, his touch igniting a firestorm of passion that threatened to consume us both. We melted into each other, lost in a whirlwind of sensation as I surrendered to the primal urges that pulsed through my veins.
Until finally, we broke apart gasping for air. Liam whispered a swear.
I had to agree with him.
“We should go to dinner.”
Right. Dinner.
I nodded. “Yeah.”
“Okay.” Liam took a deep breath. “You go first.”
“I don’t know the professor. Should I?”
His eyes turned fiery again.
“Don’t tease me, omega.”
Chapter
Twenty-Four
ELLA
By the time Imade it intothe kitchen, I was sure my face was still a bright red from how close Liam had gotten to me. How much kissed me.
And howI let him.
It seemed that the alpha who didn’t like me out of them all sure wasn’t thinking the same way anymore.
Liam wanted me.
More than that, he wanted me with his pack.
Or at least, it sure seemed so.
My heart peaked at the thought of it.Of staying here withthemall.I can’t believethat Ieven wanted to consider it– if they’d have me.
Liam seemed prettycertainabout it, outright saying so even though no one else didcompletely. Everyone else just wanted to keep me safe.
My omega hummed in my chest with the pleasure of even that little breadcrumb after surviving on less than scraps of affectionand careanddare I say,love,for so long.My omega felt a lot more settled than I think I everfelteven when she was cold and numbed out on medication– out of sight, but notquiteout of mind.
Behind the kitchen island, Marko movedeasily, though his eyes caught mine the moment I entered. A glint in his eye almost reminded me of a smile.
If only his lips would follow suit.
