He smiles, dismissing any fears I might have had that he would do that thing where he disappeared in a cloud of bloody mist again. “I’m not going anywhere, Guðrún.” He turns my hand and presses a delicate kiss on the inside of my wrist, eliciting a shiver from me. “Let’s move to the shower.”

I raise an eyebrow, but allow him to tug me from the bath and guide me over the side.

He touches a stone that seems to bring the shower to life. Hot water steams the room as he grins at me. “I have a dragon friend I trade with sometimes.

Dragon?I wonder. I had never heard of one, but if they hid as well as vampires did, they were likely deadly and smart.

It shouldn’t surprise me that Magnus would have lethal friends in high places.

I expect him to settle me under the stream, but he sets me on a warmed bench instead.

Then he kneels, making me suck in a breath when he parts my knees.

“What are you doing?” I ask as my sex throbs by the way he’s looking at me.

Like he wants to devour me.

His fangs retract before he licks his lips. “Your estrus will only come if you feel safe and taken care of.” He grins, giving me a glimpse of his canines that still have a slight point to them. “And taking care of you is exactly what I’m going to do. Now bea good little Omega and spread those legs a little wider so I can fuck you with my tongue.”

CHAPTER 8

MAGNUS

Slidingmy tongue into the warm folds of my Omega’s sweet pussy makes my cock throb and my knot painfully swell.

I want to sink my dick into her until I can push my knot inside, then take her in the way an Alpha is supposed to mate his Omega.

All while delving my fangs into her porcelain neck, locking her to me as I complete the blood-bond she had begun.

But I had sensed the moment her estrus had retreated. After years of attempting to manage my emotions, I recognize when my anger rises like the tide of an ocean.

It is just as powerful and impossible to stop, but Guðrún had drawn it into herself on instinct, taking my anger from me the moment it manifested.

Just like my power has a cost, so does hers. I watched as her skin had paled and her eyes had darkened. She had fed on me a substantial amount, but she needed blood to fuel her gift.

And when she didn’t feed, it drew on her own reserves.

You’re stronger than you could ever know,I think at her as I sink my tongue deep into her entrance.

She rewards me with a moan as she willingly spreads her legs like I had commanded.

My commands don’t actually work on her. I know that because she has disobeyed me on a few occasions now.

It had been subtle things, such as not answering my question right away and instead challenging me with one of her own, as well as waking before I had given her permission to do so. I had told her to sleep, and she had, but now I don’t think that’s because I had told her to. She had simply been overwhelmed. And she woke up before I returned from my little discussion with Ja’ar—a vampire I will be seeing again now that I had fed on so many unmarked vampires.

He’ll be coming with friends, this time.

But not every Alpha vampire can teleport. Alpha Fare can “shadow,” whereas I bloodmist where I need to go. It is a rare ability to be able to manifest in an entirely new location.

By the time Ja’ar returns to Alpha Fare and is updated on the situation, builds his chosen pack to retaliate, and waits for sundown, I’ll have at least tonight and a day.

By then you will be mine,I vow. It’s a strange thrill to know that I could command it with Guðrún, but it won’t necessarily make it true.

I like challenges. They don’t happen very often.

Retracting my fangs when I want to feed is also a challenge, but I keep them embedded as I close my mouth around my Omega’s pussy and suck. My tongue is still inside her and I can feel her ribbed interior walls squeezing on a wave. I want to feel that on my cock. I want to feel her come so hard that she locks me in place and forces my knot to stretch her for me.

That’s how it’s supposed to work between Alpha and Omegas. My nest understands the true pleasure awarded by a mutual bond. When an Alpha is worthy of his Omega, she will reward him with pure bliss.
