He hasn’t stopped staring.
My heart flips. Noah?! What’s going through your mind?
He chews on his lip, eyeing me up and down.
All he mindlinks is, Mate.
Oh, God. We have to get out of here before we cause a major scene.
Meet me in the teacher’s bathroom. I take off for the bathroom first, but I can feel Noah’s wolf stalking close behind. Tell those wolves that you and I need to talk in private.
I glance over my shoulder to find Noah not even bothering to excuse himself, setting his sights on me. His prowling stare only encourages my wolf. My lungs tighten as the distance closes between us. A deep instinct within me begs to make him chase me, and I automatically pick up the pace. I breathe harder as he strides faster, an electrifying craving striking our bond.
The second the building shields us from the playground’s view, Noah deepens his chase. Excitement pumps through my veins, encouraging me to race faster. But Noah’s long legs easily close the gap. When he reaches out to capture me, I gasp at how intense it feels, even though all Noah does is hug me against his side.
I grip his shirt, tugging him closer. But that was a mistake; with burning eyes, Noah’s hyper wolf shines through. He scoops me up by the hips, throwing me over his shoulder.
I sputter out a laugh, and Noah fast-walks us into the empty teacher’s lounge, straight to the bathroom. Within seconds, I’m locking a bathroom stall door behind Noah’s back, cramped into a single stall with my massive mate.
I get to work unlatching Noah’s belt.
But with a gasp, Noah backs up. “Fuck, wait. I just got back into my rational head a little.” He rubs his eyes hard with the base of his palms before shaking his head clear. When he looks at me again, his eyes have settled to green. “I don’t know what you have in mind, but I haven’t prepared you enough to mate the way your wolf’s begging me for.”
My heart flips, imagining Noah pounding into me for the first time in ages—in a bathroom of my ex-workplace, of all places. With how spontaneous and risky this moment is, I actually feel more prepared than usual; my panties are thoroughly soaked just from Noah chasing me.
Actually, I might be too prepared. Fire burns my core—a silent, incoming threat. With Noah’s yearning scent stinging my eyes, it’s only mere minutes before I slip into a full heat.
“That’s perfectly fine, Alpha,” my wolf purrs through me. I drop to my knees, unbuttoning my shirt until he has a full view of my cleavage. “I’ll just take the edge off for you down here first. Then you can knot me from behind.”
Noah blinks a few times until his yellow eyes shift back to green. “W-wait, what?”
I freeze. “Sorry. Is this okay?” I gaze up at him, already salivating.
“You sound—” His eyebrows furrow as he grips the wall for stability, taking a deep whiff of my scent. “Oh, fuck, did I put you in an early heat? God, it’s fucking strong.”
I purr, licking his cock even harder over his thin boxers until it flexes against my tongue.
Noah gasps. “H-holy fuck— I think we’re screwed. We can’t leave the bathroom like this.”
His eyes blaze yellow as I tug his boxers to his thighs, nuzzling against his shaft as it bobs free.
I purr. “I want to please my mate.”
“O-oh, Goddess— You’re 100% wolf brain, aren’t you?” His chest heaves. “Because I’m about to be too.”
“Then, do you still want me to use my mouth on you, Alpha? If you’re worried about hurting my mouth too, I’ll make you come over my breasts at the end instead.”
“Oh, my— I—” He grips the top of the stall. The metal creaks as he writhes against my tongue. “I’d love that, but I mainly want to try to get you pregnant. That’s what your wolf is begging me for, and my wolf is dying to give it to her.”
My core clenches as my vision reverts into shades of gray, yellow, and blue, my wolf surfacing.
She must be showing herself on my face somehow; Noah purrs, stroking my hair back with mesmerizing sweeps over my scalp. “Oh, my gorgeous mate. You like that idea, don’t you? Looks like I’m not going to be able to get you home until we try.”
“But I—” My hand travels to my groin at the thought, and Noah breathes even heavier. “I want you to do it by knotting me, Alpha.”
Noah’s cheeks flush as even his wolf is rendered speechless. With a delighted hum at my fingers circling between my legs, I lick the drop seeping from Noah’s tip. Noah flexes against my touch, but when my tongue roams to his thigh, I can’t resist giving the dense muscle a little nip.
Noah steps back with a hiss, grabbing my chin. His sharp, serious stare sends an icy thrill through my veins.
