Page 84 of Sold to the Alphas

August lined his cock up with my entrance, and with one smooth thrust, he was fully buried inside of me. The sensation of fullness was sudden, shocking, and delicious, and I tossed my head back, moaning as he started to fuck me. His thrusts were full and slow, all the way in and all the way out, and they were everything I needed to eradicate the doubt I felt.

For every moment that I doubted him, for every moment that he scared me and acted on his own, he apologized. With his lips, with his hands. His body was the apology, and it didn’t matter that he had to move slowly because he was still injured, and even shifters didn’t heal that quickly.

We were together. He wasmine.

He reached between us and teased his fingers over my clit, the swollen bundle of nerves singing under his fingertips as he picked up the pace. Still not fast, still not quite enough to drive both of us over the edge, but enough. He pulled away and looked at me, and the smear of blood on his lower lip made my inner wolf growl, so pleased with her claim on my alpha.

And I wanted his claim on me.

I held his gaze, stroking my fingers down over the column of his neck and feeling the flutter of his pulse against my skin as Idid so. Then, slowly, deliberately, I stretched out my neck and offered it to August, giving him my vulnerability.

“Bite me, alpha,” I whispered. “Claim me. Take me, for real this time. I’m yours.”

Because for all my hurt feelings over the fact that August hadn’t claimed me, over my frustration that he hadn’t taken what I offered as an omega in every sense of the word...I had also never asked. And I wasn’t going to keep making the mistake of assuming that my alphas could read my mind.

If I wanted something, I would have to ask for it. Starting now.

“Please,” I continued, biting my lower lip as I looked up at him. “Please.”

If possible, his pupils dilated even further, and he pulled his lips back from his teeth, baring them in a snarl that should have looked aggressive.

All I saw was the raw desire on his face, though, the love in his eyes as he looked down at me. And he didn’t ask me if I was sure.

He just struck. His head darted out, and the next second, there was a burst of pain on my neck as his teeth sank into my skin. Where the first bite that he had offered me, the night that he and the others had first taken me, had been shallow, just enough to push out the bond that Raol had forced on me, this one wasn’t.

This bite was deep. It was a claim that imprinted itself on my very soul, rewriting my very DNA until it made room not only for him but also for the others.

He was mine. I was his. Alpha. Omega.

Perfect.

August’s hips picked up the pace, snapping against me as he carefully detached his teeth from my neck and then dragged his tongue over the undoubtedly bloody marks. His breath was hot and comforting against my skin, and his fingers worked my clit faster as he fucked me. The solidified bond in my chest only drove the arousal inside of me higher, and my whimpers were needy and desperate andconstant, and fuck, I wanted to come. I needed to come. I neededhimto come...

“Please...” I gasped, clinging to him even tighter. I wrapped my legs around his lips and buried my face in his neck as he pounded into me, his fingers working my clit hard and fast.

“Mine,” he growled. “My omega. My girl. Fucking mine...”

He slammed into me one more time, and his aggressive growl, the claim that he was staking on me, was enough to push me over the edge. I whined, wailed, and clenched around him, my hips working up against him as pleasure wracked my entire body. My clit sang under his fingers, and my moans were muffled against his skin as his fingers clenched into fists in the blankets on either side of my head, and then he stiffened.

His orgasm was quieter than mine but no less intense. He growled low in his chest, and then he buried his face in my neck, his body relaxing as he thrust inside of me one more time and filled my insides with warmth. He sighed, and I clung to him, the pleasure that he felt flooding the bond between us, and he was mine. He was mine. He wasmine.

August carefully collapsed to the side, pulling out of me and making me whimper softly. He smiled at me and tenderly kissed my shoulder.

He was still injured, and I could feel the flickers of pain that he was trying to hide from me, but that didn’t seem to matter to my stoic alpha.

Not right now. Not when his fingers brushed up against the new mark on my neck, the claim he had placed on me, and he wrapped his arms fully around me, ensuring that I understood where we stood.

Together. Forever.

“I love you,” he murmured softly, burying his face in my neck.

I sighed, and something inside of me unwound as I finally allowed myself to breathe. “I love you too, August. And you have a lot to make up for.”

I felt his lips curve up in a smile against my shoulder, and he placed a tender kiss there before he lay his head back down again. “I wouldn’t expect it any other way, Omega.”
