Page 41 of Fall of the Alpha

She could stay where she was on the couch. There was nothing he was doing to compel her to move forward. But she didn’t. She got up, feeling as though she was floating as she moved to stand in front of him.

Reaching out, he took her by the hips, pulling her toward him, so she ended up straddling his lap, one leg on either side of his thighs, staring down at him. The heat of his body so close to hers set her senses humming.

“You’ve been here. You’ve seen the territories.” He raised his eyebrow as his hands slid up her sides. “You’re an Omega. Has anything terrible happened to you? Random attacks by vicious Alphas?”

Bella crossed her arms over her chest, preventing him from touching her breasts as she scowled down at him. Chuckling, he reversed the course of his hands, sliding them back down her sides.

“Just you. You made me and Alek…” Her voice trailed off, and she let out a little gasp as his hands reached her bottom, sliding around to cup her buttocks and pull her forward. The thin fabric of the shift she was wearing did nothing to obscure the thick bulge at the front of his pants. Rubbing her mound against it, pleasure flashed through her.

“And if I said I regretted that now?” His green eyes met hers and held her gaze steadily. It wasn’t exactly an apology, but it was more than she’d expected, to be honest. “That I wished I was the only male to have touched you?”

“Is that supposed to be better?” she asked, even as she rocked against the bulge. His fingers slipped under the hem of her shift, and when he tugged it upward, she let her crossed arms go so that she was completely naked on his lap.

“Yes.”

He leaned forward, pulling one pert nipple between his lips. Bella moaned as her arousal gushed, soaking the front of his pants. Not that he minded. The sweet scent of her cream rose up between them as he growled, a deep vibrating purr that went straight through her and sent another gush of hot arousal across his lap. Bella moaned, reaching for him, her hands sliding into his hair.

Yes, yes, it would have been better if he’d been the only male to touch her. Yet he’d also shown her the possibilities of her own depravity—she’d enjoyed being underneath both him and Alek. Part of her had been screaming resistance, while another part of her had been screaming in passion.

The instincts that rode them could be overcome… at that moment, they’d all given in to their baser ones.

Did it help to know he regretted it?

It shouldn’t.

But it did.

Shifting beneath her, he somehow managed to get his pants open to free his cock. One hand slid up her back into her hair, his fingers pressing against the nape of her neck to tip her head forward so he could claim her lips with a kiss, while his other hand lifted her bottom to arrange her above his cock. She moaned against his lips, his tongue taking it as an invitation to invade her mouth as she began to sink onto his cock.

Mated to the Wolf.

As his cock slid in deep, the bulge of his knot already thickening and pressing against her pussy lips, Bella had to admit it didn’t sound that bad.

It might even sound good.

She moaned again as she ground herself against his groin, her legs flexing as she moved up and down automatically, riding him for her pleasure. The kiss ended, the hand on her bottom going to her breast, toying with the nipple he hadn’t suckled andgiving the tiny bud its own burst of stimulation. The tight pinch of his fingers stung, sending a bolt of pleasure down to her core.

“Be my mate,” he whispered. “Be my queen.”

Bella shuddered, sinking down atop him, crying out as he thrust upward, pushing his knot into her. Her muscles spasmed in need, clamping down on the thickness as she was stretched by both his shaft and the knot at the base.

His hands and mouth moved over her as she rocked against him, moaning against his deep purr. One hand cupped her buttocks, his finger questing between them, finding her anus and pushing in, adding to the tumult of sensations crashing through her. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over her as his finger and cock moved as much as they could inside her. His mouth went back and forth between her nipples while his other arm braced her body against his, holding her in place.

As his knot swelled and began to pulse, he pushed a second finger inside her anus. Bella screamed in abject ecstasy as she clung to him, sobbing. He was her anchor in the storm of sensation, even as he caused the overload. Her clit pulsed, trapped between their bodies, as his seed filled her in hot bursts that left her feeling seared.

His mouth moved up to her neck as she slumped against him, panting for breath. Teeth scraped over a sensitive spot on her neck.

The spot where he’d bite her if he made her his mate.

Be my queen.

It occurred to Bella that he was, quite literally, offering her the world.

“Yes,” she whispered.

Malachi

Watching over his sleeping mate with hooded eyes, Malachi contemplated the path that had led him here. In many ways, she was too young for him. In other ways, it didn’t matter.
