A gravely sound that was barely a chuckle rumbled in his chest just before his hand lifted and came down on my bare flesh with a slap. My desperate need rose with each swing of his hand against my heated flesh. Somewhere in the background, a high-pitched ringing sounded, or maybe that was just in my head, because Shadow didn’t miss a beat punishing me until my delicate skin was on fire.

My whimpers had turned to pathetic whines in my throat, begging for more. “I need more. Please. I’ll do anything. I need you inside me. I can’t take it anymore.”

“You can and you will,” he said as he rained another spank on my overheated skin.

“Please, no more. I need your cock,” I begged.

“My cock is only for good girls. Are you going to be a good girl?”

I nodded, adamant and desperate for him to believe me.

“Good. Get on your knees, little omega.”

I scrambled off his lap and onto the floor, watching, mesmerized, as his fingers unfastened his pants and freed his massive length. Stars, he was beautiful, and I was starving. Without any hesitation, I leaned forward, desperate to taste him.

“That’s right, take your punishment like the bad girl you are. Show me how sorry you can be.”

With his permission, he guided his swollen crown to my lips, and I eagerly lapped at the smear of salty fluid there. He tasted so good, and I craved more as I pressed his shaft into my throat.

His fingers ran through the fall of my golden hair, fisting a handful to guide my strokes. He wasn’t gentle, but I didn’t really want him to be. It was supposed to be punishment, but wrapped in pleasure, reminding me it’s not all bad. I could learn from my mistakes.

He held my head still and fucked my throat until I was choking and gasping as he pulled back just enough for air to fill my lungs. Black spots danced in my eyes as I looked up at him, but he wasn’t looking at me at all. His heavy-lidded gaze was fixed in the direction of the door. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the outline of a man, and with my next breath, Lex’s scent hit me.

I choked and struggled, but Shadow’s hold was unrelenting as my eyes stung and he continued to use my mouth.

Lex’s low voice danced across the bare skin of my ass and dripping pussy. “Don’t stop on my account.”

Knowing he was watching only made my heart beat faster, and I moaned around Shadow’s cock. I felt him swell, stretching my mouth further around his impressive girth and my lips bumped up against his knot as it expanded. My hand closed around it as I continued the long, steady strokes, curling my tongue along the bottom of his shaft.

His fist tightened in my hair and he pressed into my throat one last time before taking a deep shuddering breath and filling my mouth with his salty release. Jet after jet slid down my throat, my tongue coaxing out more until it leaked out of the corner of my mouth.

“Here, let me get that for you,” Lex said, walking over and reaching down to tilt my chin up between his thumb and forefinger.

Shadow’s softening cock slid free, and I blinked up at the golden-haired alpha. Lex’s mouth came down on mine, his tongue swiping at the corner of my lips and then sweeping inside, tasting the remnants of his partner’s cum that had been left behind. He kissed me thoroughly, leaving me aching and even more needy than I thought possible.

When he finally pulled away, he studied us both for a moment. “I guess I can’t blame you for ignoring the emergency comm dispatch. I came to get you. There’s been a security breach in a ground-level hangar. We need to go. There’s no time to take Saphyra back to her room, so she’ll have to come. Get dressed, both of you, we need to go.”

I pouted, but pulled my clothes back into place. A security breach? Stars, what if someone broke in to take me back to the Hive? Fear dampened my frustrated desire. Maybe I really shouldn’t be sneaking around on my own.

Chapter Nine

Axion

To say I was shocked when my own door was slammed in my face would be a massive understatement. I could see the hurt on Saphyra’s face and the only thing I wanted to do was comfort her. Unfortunately, there was one problem with that, well, okay, two major problems with that. There were two buck-ass-naked women in my bed!

Who they were, I didn’t even care, but their bland beta smell coated the inside of my nose in a very unpleasant way. Like talc powder or something. My nostrils flared as I turned on them.

“GET OUT!” My shout didn’t come close to scratching the surface of how angry I was. I was bordering on murderous. I’d never killed an unarmed woman before, but I was sorely tempted.

Their mismatched eyes flew wide and something familiar broke through my rage-filled haze, but not enough to stop my tirade. I spotted their plain dresses strewn on the floor. Reluctant as I was to touch them or anything belonging to them, I plucked them off the ground and threw them at the girls who were scrambling away from my half-naked display.

“Get dressed and get out!” Their dresses hit them in their wide-eyed faces, and they struggled to dress while keeping themselves covered by MY bedding, further contaminating it with their scent. “Never mind getting dressed, just get the fuck out before I kill you both.”

They stopped their scrambling, in apparent shock, and both started screeching, “We’re sorry!”

“So, so sorry.”

“We didn’t know that she would be here!”
