Just before she falls over, I flatten my body against hers and bite the side of her neck right under the ear.
She explodes around me, her pussy pulsing around my cock as she moans and thrashes beneath me. I rub her clit as she comes down from the sensation, but before I can pull away, she grabs my wrist and pulls my hand to her mouth, wrapping her mouthbetween my index finger and thumb to sink her teeth into the back of my hand and palm.
A moment of pain turns into the most exquisite pleasure, and when she timidly licks my palm, I lose control and pound into her once more before I find my release.
Wild energy thrums through me like a thunderstorm, so distinctly Jordan that it takes my breath away. All I can feel is her contentment and love thrumming inside me. There is no doubt. There is no resentment.
There is just the woman I have loved for nearly my entire life.
My knot expands rapidly, locking us together, and I struggle to shuffle us into a comfortable position. She sighs happily as I settle her against my chest, whispering "mine" under her breath.
Icarus returns with a coffee for me and tea for Jordan, but she never gets around to drinking it before she falls asleep in my arms.
Chapter fifty-five
Jordan crawls into mylap as soon as Rafe's knot deflates, snapping her teeth. "Mine, Alpha. Bite."
I gather her hair on the back of her neck, admiring her newest mark. "You did get a new bite. It's beautiful Omega." She narrows her eyes, dissatisfied with my response.
"Rut. Knot. Bite. Bite. Bite. Alpha!" She's snarling, the words tumbling out of her so quickly I can barely register what she's saying before the next one escapes.
Icarus snorts from the side of the room, where he's playing around on his phone. He mentioned that last heat, he ordered a heat kit, so I imagine he's doing the same this time.
"She's going to be fully out of it soon, Slime," he says with a chuckle. "You're going to want to bond her soon if you want her halfway coherent, or you'll have to wait until the end."
Jordan gasps like the idea of waiting until the end of her heat to bond with me is akin to murder. "Bite!" she whines, pulling at my shoulders.
"Oh Omega, I told you, I'll never make you beg." I lay back onto the nest's plush, slate blue surface and wrap my arms around her, pulling her flush against my chest. "Take me, peaches. I'm yours."
Her eyes light up as she grabs my cock and lines it up with her core before she slowly sinks down. A soft, pleased huff of air escapes her lips, her eyes drifting shut as she luxuriates in the feeling.
"Knot, bite," she whines quietly. I hum as I grab her hips, rocking her back and forth against me and feeling the drag of my piercing against the sensitive spot inside her. Each time it passes, she yelps in stunned pleasure.
She's hot and velvety around my cock as I begin to thrust into her from below slowly. She braces her knees and pushes her ass backward, meeting me stroke for stroke. I capture her lips, palming the back of her head and pouring everything I'm feeling into her mouth.
I love you.
I missed you.
I don't deserve this.
I'll never let you go.
I'm yours forever.
And you're mine.
Mine.
It's not a brutal claiming. Years of pining for her, thinking I'd never even be in the same room as her again, come bubbling tothe surface as I drift my lips down her jaw before sinking my teeth into her skin, opposite of Icarus's bite.
I roll my hips as she pants and whines, wiggling as I hold her flesh tightly between my teeth as I pinch her clit and roll it between my fingers.
When she begins to clench and twist beneath me, her pleasure overtaking her body, I finally release her neck with a gasp. She looks down at me with clear eyes and a soft smile. She sits up, settling over my hips with a wiggle, before tracing her fingers on the bare patch of flesh over my collarbone.
Her spot.
"Mine," she says softly, almost reverently, before sinking her teeth in.
