His lips devoured mine, and I groaned into his mouth as I kissed him back just as fiercely. When I had woken that morning sandwiched between Killian and Emmett, it was like my body was just barely starting to get back with the program of beingsexually interested after my time at the facility, and now that some time had passed, it realized that I was fuckingstarvingfor it.

Starving for touch. Starving for affection. Starving for the full, focused, undivided attention of my alpha—my first alpha, who had never made me feel anything less than what I was.

My fingers dug into Killian’s back, and he tore away from me, his eyes slightly wild in the darkness of his room. The only light that illuminated us was the moonlight shining in from the crack of the curtains, highlighting howunhingedKillian looked as he looked down at me.

“Tell me you want me,” he said, his voice low and harsh.

I didn’t take it personally, even though it sounded as though he was fucking furious with me. I could feel the evidence of how untrue that was grinding against my hip, and my body was vibrating with how much I wanted him, too, meaning that it was all but impossible for me to get the words out without moaning or whining or begging in every nonverbal way that I knew how.

“Please, Alpha,” I begged. “Please, I fucking want you. I...fuck...”

My hands slid up into his hair, and I tightened my legs around his hips, moving just enough that I was able to grind my pussy up against the hard length of his cock. The sensation was dulled through the thin layers of our clothes, but that didn’t stop me from gasping out my pleasure as my swollen clitfinallygot the contact I was craving.

I moaned, grinding harder, and Killian growled before his hands snatched the sides of my little sleep shorts and tore them off with one sharp jerk.

The harsh sound of fabric tearing was almost enough to tear me out of the stupor of arousal and desire that I’d found myself in, and I shook my head desperately, whining more as I thrust my hips up. The air was cool and tantalizing against the newly exposed folds of my pussy, and I whimpered when I felt Killian lean close, his fingers digging into the tender insides of my thighs as he held my legs open, leaving me exposed—wide and desperate for him to do whatever he liked.

“Killian...” I squirmed, and he chuckled, the sound slightly manic as he leaned close, his breath brushing over my pussy.

“Hold still, baby girl,” he murmured. “I’m fucking starving.”

Then he leaned down and sealed his lips around the swollen bud of my clit, and I arched my back so much I nearly levitated off the bed.

I had been living with the alphas for a month before Oliver had rejected me, and it was true that our relationship had started off...with a bang, so to speak. But after that first night, nothing more had happened beyond some heavy petting and making out, which had been deliberate. The whirlwind of courting had made my head spin, and I hadn’t wanted us to go too far or too fast before everything was official between myself and them.

That meant we’d been building up a dam of sexual frustration for fuckingweeksbefore Oliver had rejected me, and now...now my body was feeling it.

I was burning, desperate, as Killian flicked his tongue over my clit. The faint bites of pain from his fingers on my thighs only made the pleasure of his mouth that much better, and I whimpered as I tried to thrust my hips up into his face to get him to touch memore.

“Patience, baby,” he murmured, pulling away just enough to speak. His lips brushed over my clit, making my head spin, and I whimpered again, jerking in his iron grasp, managing to get exactly nowhere. He chuckled, and when he looked up at me, there was a familiar, teasing glint in his eye that I hadn’t seen since he had found me at the facility and brought me home.

It was like a punch to the gut to see him just a little bit lighter than he had been before, to know that he was slowly relaxing and beginning to trust in me again like I was learning to trust them.

I softened, and the raging need inside of me faded for a moment. I reached down and brushed my fingers through his dark curls, purring softly when he leaned into my touch.

“I don’t know how much more patient I can be, Killian,” I whispered. The moment was suddenly heavy with meaning, and he eyed me from his spot between my legs, his hips subtly working as he ground his cock against the bed.

The sight of him so overcome with arousal that I didn’t think he was even aware of what his body was doing almost shoved me over the edge right then and there. I gasped, and my head fell back as I clutched tighter to Killian’s hair, shoving him down into my pussy without another word.

The growl that vibrated through my sensitive folds tore a choked moan out of me, and I held Killian in place as I ground downagainst his tongue, whimpering helplessly as my mind went blank. Everything that we were dealing with, the complicated emotional journey that we still had yet to go on...all of it faded away as I moaned and lost myself in the way my alpha was eating my pussy like it was his last meal.

He squeezed my thighs one more time and then released me, one hand sliding up so that he could tease his fingertips at my entrance. I gasped, my fingers tightening in his hair, and he chuckled softly before he eased one finger inside of me.

The sudden fullness, even of that single digit, was shocking, and I clenched desperately around it. I ground down against his tongue, the scent of my arousal making the air sweet, and I whined as Killian slowly fingered me, loosening me up before nudging a second finger in alongside the first.

“Killian, please...” His fingers crooked up against my G-spot, and my eyes squeezed shut at the pleasure. Killian didn’t say anything; he just purred before renewing his efforts tenfold, flicking his tongue light and fast over my clit while he rubbed his fingers up against my spot and made me groan.

God, he was so fucking good at this—toogood. I needed, I wanted...

“Killian...Alpha, please...” My head thrashed side to side, the pleasure building low in my belly almost too much for me to handle.

“Mine,” he growled. He sucked on my clit again, and then, more quickly than I could be aware of, his head moved, his teeth flashing out and sinking into the tender inside of my thigh as his fingers worked me open harder, faster.

I yelped, my fingers spasming in his hair, and he sucked hard, no doubt bruising the tender flesh with his lips and tongue, and the slick sound of my pussy made my cheeks burn hot with humiliation and desire.

“Alpha...” I clenched, and my desire flared between us, more of my scent pouring into the air and making him groan.

“Lilah...” He sucked on the burning spot on my thigh one more time before he released me, rising until he was hovering over me. The smile on his face was fucking unhinged, and he leaned down to press a hard kiss to my lips, his fingers continuing to work between my thighs even as the hard length of his cock pressed against my hip.
