Page 73 of Knot Giving Up 2

My eyes are heavy with sleep, and I’m about to give into it when I hear Nils.

“I love you, McQuinn. I love you so damn much. I want to bond you.”

About fucking time.

McQuinn

“Really?” I say in a voice that shakes. I'd hoped someday he’d want to bond. But I didn’t expect it now. In the middle of Meggie’s heat. In front of our pack. Something about that turns me on even more. Like he’s willing to claim me in front of the world and let Meggie and all of them know where we stand.

A shiver of nerves and excitement slaps me in the face. “I need to see you.”

Nils withdraws, and I roll to my back, looking up at him. “Really? You really want to bond me?”

“More than I want anything.” He gives me a shit-eating, teasing grin. “Apart from Meggie.”

I’m not even upset at the jab to my jealous assholery. Because truthfully, I want the same. Meggie is my sun, and Nils, my moon. I need them both.

A whimper comes from our left, and we turn to see our omega giving us a soft, hungry look.

“I think she likes the idea of you two bonding,” Dante chuckles.

“Bite,” Meggie moans, writhing on top of him. “Bite me, alphas.”

She tries to crawl towards us, but she’s still knotted with Dante. He wraps his arms around her and holds her tight. “This is for them, little omega.”

He’s right. I want both Meggie and Nils, but right now, this is just about Nils and me. “Fuck, yes, I want to bond you.”

My man leans over, takes my face in his hands, and kisses me. I moan, gasping for breath. He pushes my legs up to my chest and sinks back into me. I groan as he hits that spot deep within. Slow, loving thrusts stoke the burning fire in my core, making my whole body flush with pleasure. He goes so deep his knot threatens to enter me. It feels like he’s trying to press himself into my soul. He doesn’t have to try. He’s already there. Imprinted on every part of me.

Without breaking eye contact, he puts his wrist to my mouth, and I lift mine to his. I suck his skin, and his thrusts speed up, hitting me just right.

I come first, sinking my teeth into him at the same moment my cum spills between us, coating my abs and his. A taste that’s both coppery and fresh spills over my tongue, and so much emotion floods through me that tears pool in my eyes. I feel his love, the depth of it, the completeness of it.

It’s like diving into a deep pool. Down and down I go, uncovering more and more layers to who Nils is and how he feels about me. It’s incredible.

I send him all the love I’ve never been able to express aloud, and he sends the same back to me tenfold.

“I… I had no idea,” I choke out.

Nils gives me a soft look, and then with one more thrust he pours himself into me, bites my wrist, and completes our bond.

Nils

Inever thought being bonded would be like this. I don’t just feel what McQuinn’s feeling. I feel him. He’s as bright and dynamic as his sunny citrus scent. His fierce passion pummels me like a wave, pulling me into an undertow. He’s so much more than I ever realized. His feelings are so much more intense and layered than I knew.

Tears spring to his eyes, and he discreetly tries to wipe them away while he pulls his emotions back into himself, trying to keep me from seeing how soft this surly man really is.

“Hey,” I take his face in my hands, “Don’t do that.”

He knows exactly what I mean. A shallow sob parts his lips, and I see a side of him I never knew existed. It’s vulnerable and beautiful. Gorgeous. He’s gorgeous.

Aware that we have an audience, I drag him into the bathroom for a moment alone and turn on the shower. We spend a long time talking under the water with an openness we’ve never had between us before. Whispered confessions wash away any lingering doubts as we scrub each other clean, and then with a new sense of us and who we are, I take control and fuck his mouth like I did the first time we were together.

We’re just drying off when Harrison and Dante step into the bathroom.
