Rowan trembled beneath me as his whole body tightened up. "Yes, alpha, need your knot. Make me yours."

I slammed home one final time and my knot fully locked in place as I came, pumping Rowan full of my seed. Rowan’s hips jerked, and his channel clenched around my knot.

The omega screamed out as his own orgasm washed over him, and he showered me with ribbons of his creamy load.

When my muscles could no longer hold me up, I rolled onto my back with Rowan in my arms, his channel still wrapped around my cock as we lay there panting through the aftershocks.

I nuzzled Rowan's neck, inhaling our intermingled scents. He was mine.My omega.

As if reading my thoughts, Rowan tilted his head to the side in silent offering. My teeth ached with the need to mark him and make our bond permanent. He was mine. There was nothing that would take me away from him.

But even through the haze of lust and satisfaction, a niggling voice in the back of my mind held me back. This was supposed to be a simple protection detail. I wasn't supposed to get attached, let alone claim the Ferrini omega as my mate. Not without his family’s permission. Not withouthispermission. One that came when he wasn’t in a heat-induced haze.

Rowan whined softly, no doubt sensing my hesitation. “Trev? Is everything okay?”

I silenced him with a deep kiss, pushing away thoughts of consequences and complications for later. Right now, I had an omega to take care of. And several more rounds of knotting him to get through before morning.

ROWAN

Sunlight streamed into the window as I woke to my body aching in the most delicious way. Stretching languidly, I practically purred from the lingering scent of Trev on my skin. Last night was the most amazing night of my life. The way his hands gripped my hips and his mouth devoured mine possessively was more than I ever imagined sex could be.

A grin spread across my face as I thought about it. I should have felt exhausted, but instead, I was buzzing with energy. I’d not only had a full heat and sex for the first time, but a gorgeous alpha that I trusted completely was the one to break it. Filled with contentment and sated in a way I didn’t know was possible, I stretched and let out a happy sigh.

“Morning.” Trev sat up in the bed across from mine and scrubbed his hands down his face. “How are you feeling?”

I would have preferred to have woken up next to him, but these damn dorm beds didn’t leave a ton of room for a bulky alpha and an omega to sleep.

“Amazing.” I practically bounced out of bed, humming as I got ready for class. Even the usual tedium of lectures couldn't dampen my mood. I caught Trev watching me from his post by the door, his eyes dark with hunger. A thrill ran through me, remembering how those eyes had burned as he'd knotted me over and over again.

But I didn’t bring up our night together…and neither did he.

I showered reluctantly, washing off the sweat and dried cum from the night before. Trev must’ve showered as well after I passed out because he smelled like his cologne rather than me. I didn’t like it.

When classes finally ended, we headed back to the family mansion where I would stay until I needed to be back on campus Tuesday morning.

On the drive, the air was thick with unspoken tension, but I wasn’t sure how to bring up our night. Suave and sophistication didn’t come naturally to me, and as much as I liked to be the sassy omega who took what the wanted, that wasn’t me. Not when my actual heart was on the line. So I just stared out the window and did my best to get ahead on some of the chapters I needed to read.

Now that the desperate need of my heat had passed, awkwardness crept in. Was breaking my heat just part of his job? If it was, I wasn’t ready to hear him confirm that. I wanted to keep whatever fantasy was brewing in my head alive just a little bit longer.

Once Trev delivered me safely to the mansion, he handed me my bag and cleared his throat. "Well, I'm technically off duty now, so I should head home."

"Oh. Right. Of course." I tried to hide my disappointment as I shouldered my duffle bag. "Thanks for…umm…you know."

He nodded stiffly but didn’t make eye contact. "Anytime."

Yeah. He sounded about as enthusiastic about a repeat as getting a tooth pulled.

As he walked back to his car, loneliness immediately set in. The same loneliness I’d experienced for most of my life. I didn’t grow up with a houseful of brothers and servants and built-in friends. I was always alone, and apparently, that hadn’t changed after losing my V-card.

At least he didn’t know it was my first time. He might’ve thought this was just another regular day for me.

After quickly checking in with Andro to let him know I was back and alive, I wandered to my guest room and flopped on the bed, restless and unsettled.

It had only been a few days with him, but without Trev's dominating presence, I felt adrift.

The hours crawled by, and even though I tried to distract myself with homework, I couldn't focus. Just as the house quieted down and everyone went to bed, a knock echoed on my door.
