Love you so much.

I claimed him.

Smiling, I licked spice off my lips.

One thing flitted across my consciousness before I fell asleep: how had I ever thought that cinnamon was sweet?

It fucking burned.

Chapter 30

Xerxes

HIS NEW RELIGION

Two hours earlier

I dragged my lips across her skin and moaned as cranberries exploded across my tongue. She was sweeter than I ever could have imagined.

“Xerxes,” she moaned, and my dick jerked.

My alpha wanted me back. She wasn’t mindlessly agreeing to fuck an omega in heat; she’d chosen me.

I kissed her reverently, trying to express with my mouth my awe.

She was too good for me.

“You’d scare any woman away.”

I needed to be gentle.

The scent of her need became overwhelming, and I ripped her sweatpants off before I could stop myself.

My mouth watered, and I immediately went back to tasting her skin. I could die happy with my face buried against her flesh.

Mindlessly, I moaned words about how sweet she was.

Nothing had ever tasted so good.

I nipped at her lower belly and just barely stopped myself from hurting her.

She moaned loudly, and the sound went straight to my aching cock. My balls tightened impossibly.

Intoxicated, I dragged my teeth over every inch of her tummy and delicate lines of muscles.

Bruises and contusions from her fights were scattered across her golden skin, and I nipped atop them.

Sudden rage blinded me—other alphas had left their marks on her.

She would wear my marks, not theirs.

Before I could stop myself, I slammed my teeth through her skin and moaned with satisfaction as cranberry blood filled my mouth.

She yelped and jerked beneath me.

My cock wept at the sound, but my stomach plummeted. I forced myself to stop moving, ignoring the waves of pain that burned my dick with increasing ferocity.

“You’d scare any woman away.”
