That doesn’t mean anything to Cassian, though. He shakes his head, dropping his chin to his chest as he releases me. I move to turn and face him, but his hands shift to my waist, locking me in place.

“Say it, Addi.”

I gape at him, blinking as I will the words to come, but all I can manage is his name.

“Cassian…”

He shakes his head, baring his teeth as he flicks up my dress, every single layer, before he snags on my panties, the material falling at my feet. I lean forward with a gasp, planting my hands against the vanity as he palms my ass.

“Tell me, Alpha. Fucking tell me,” he snaps, his eyes practically black as he glares at me in the mirror. “I’ve told you time and time again that if I took you without…if I felt you with no barrier, I know…”

“Cassian…”

“Tell me you don’t want to find your wolf or that you don’t want to stop their plan, but you have all of five fucking seconds to do so.”

He spreads my ass cheeks, revealing my pussy to him as I continue to gape at him in the mirror. Tingles zap up my spine, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end as he silently counts me down.

I shake my head as every second stretches between us while I try to find any other word, until he leans forward with a snarl. “Time’s up, Alpha.”

He punctuates his nickname for me with one swift thrust of his hips. I lurch with the movement, a strangled moan parting my lips further as he groans.

“Cass,” I whisper, goosebumps burning over my skin, my body trembling as he retreats all the way before slamming into me again, with more intensity this time. “Cassian, we can’t be sure, we can’t…”

He ignores me, plowing into me with a ferocity that makes my knees weak and my pussy clench with every thrust. He spreads my walls with every breath, and all I can do is succumb to the pleasure. To him. To the possibilities.

“Tell.” Thrust. “Me.” Thrust. “Now.” Thrust. “Alpha.”

“Cassian.” His name is a plea, a prayer, a wish.

He retracts, filling me once again as our skin connects over and over again.

“I can’t hear you, Alpha.”

“Cass—”

My breath is stolen and my body tenses as my eyes latch onto the mirror just in time to see the change, the shift. The flickering green of my eyes swirls into golden beams with flecks of emerald sprinkling the edges.

“Cassian!” My pupils dilate as he meets my stare and his do the same, swirling with a new color before a salacious grin spreads across his face.

He doesn’t relent, he doesn’t question it, he doesn’t falter for a single moment.

Instead, he fucks me harder and faster as I cling on to the vanity like my life depends on it.

The tingles down my spine grow more prominent, leaving me gasping as I watch my life unravel. “Cassian, I can’t breathe,” I manage through weighted breaths as my body heats.

“Tell me, Addi. Tell me, and everything will be okay,” he promises, squeezing my chest as the words part my lips without thought or caution.

“I’m yours, Cassian. I’m yours.”

The climax that rockets through my body is like nothing I’ve ever felt before, burning like an elixir through my veins from head to toe, forcing my eyes to slam shut. My lips part, Cassian’s name on the tip of my tongue, but nothing comes out as I crumple to the floor.

Before I can call my asshole of a wolf lover out for letting go of me, I curl in a ball, riddled with excruciating pain as I scream.

I can’t see. I can’t feel. I can’t hear.

It’s all-consuming, and I’m at its mercy.

It feels like an eternity, but just as quickly as the pain takes over, it disappears, depleting to nothing as I try to catch my breath. Rising up onto my hands and knees, I sway, blinking my eyes open slowly to find Cassian hovering above me.
