Page 19 of Alpha's Second Chance

She’d always had not one, but two feet out the door, while I lived in ignorant bliss. It was clear to me now, a decade later, that she had tried to signal to me that she wasn’t willing to accept the role of omega in our clan, but I’d ignored her messages.

Sharing her heat with her could easily backfire. But I wasn’t going to let that happen -- I was going to prove myself. Trusting an Alpha during her heat was monumental. As an Alpha, I couldn't imagine the lack of control. It was far different than just sleeping together normally.

Many unmated omegas chose to lock themselves in a room with bottled water and energy drinks. I vowed to make sure Eve didn’t regret sharing her heat with me.

Eve rolled over in bed. She’d worn one of my t-shirts to bed, and the creamy skin of her chest was visible.

I went from semi-hard to rock hard in an instant. My cock throbbed. Under the thin cotton fabric, Eve’s nipples hardened. I brushed my hand over her breast. Her back arched, pushing her breasts forward.

Still asleep, she moaned. She turned over suddenly, twisting the sheet as it turned with her. She kicked, throwing the covers off. She wore no underwear. Her round backside lifted and she pulled one knee to the side, exposing her wet pussy to me. The scent of honey rose, intoxicating me.

I put my mouth next to her ear. “Eve, you ready?”

Her eyes were still closed but she nodded her head. “Owen. Yes.”

I pushed her knees up under her body. I ran my hands from her head down to her ankles. She arched her back even more as I caressed her skin. I trailed one finger all the way down her spine, her backside, and over her pulsing sex. She writhed against the bed, pressing her breasts into the mattress and her backside into the air. “Like this,” she said. “I need it.”

You need this too; don’t screw it up.

I pushed two fingers into her. She rocked back against me. “Owen! Please!”

I couldn’t deny her any longer. I grabbed a condom and put it on. Thankfully I’d had some stashed in the cabin. I got on my knees behind her upturned bottom, and I pushed my cock in to the hilt. Flush against her body, I bent over her. I brushed her hair from her neck, and bit the back of her neck.

She made a loud keening cry, and jerked against me. I got back upright and held onto her hips with my hands. The sight of her stretched out in front of me, on her knees, with my cock buried in her pussy with her sweet, honey scent filling my nose would be one that never left me.

I knew then, that even if Eve rejected me again, I’d never take another mate. She was it for me.

“More, Owen. More,” she begged. She made little rotating motions with her hips, back and forth, pushing me to the edge. I bit down on my tongue. I wasn’t going to come yet -- this was about more than just pleasing her. This was about making sure she got what she needed from her Alpha.

I wasn’t hers, though. I had to remember that.

My bear wasn’t happy. You could be hers, dumbass. And she could be yours.

Not helpful. I rolled my hips, thrusting into her, working to hit the spot omegas said felt the best.

“Yes!” she yelled. “There!”

I got one hand between her legs, where she was soaking with arousal. I rubbed small circles over her clit until she finished, her warm core tightening in waves around my cock. She collapsed, flat onto the bed, and I followed her down as I felt my own release pumping relentlessly into the condom. As much as I wanted to feel her completely, we just couldn’t risk it with her being in heat.

I love you, Eve.

No. I cared about her. It wasn’t love.

I had to remember that, even as I treasured the feel of her warm, pliant body against mine.

Forty-eight hours after she’d first noticed the symptoms, Eve stretched her arms above her head with a soft sigh. “It’s almost over,” she said.

“Happy to be rid of the mindless lust?” I suspected she was, because I was fucking relieved. As much as I had valued Eve choosing me to get her through her heat, and as much as I had loved getting to fuck her hour after hour until we were both spent, I was ready to watch out for Bull and his men myself, without having to rely on my team.

“I’m relieved to be able to think clearly again, but I did thoroughly enjoy this.”

I’d thought she felt that way, but it was nice to hear her say it out loud. “Me too.” I inhaled her scent. Our scents were now intertwined, mixed together after her heat. My bear really liked that.

“Now that I’m not incoherent, I need to check in with work. Do you have a burner phone?”

Back to the real world. “Yeah. I’ll get you one.” I didn’t stop myself from appreciating the view as she let the sheet slide down around her waist. I could look at her bare breasts forever.

“Thanks. Luckily, I have my boss’s cell memorized; I’ve dialed it from the office landline plenty of times.”
