“Give it to me, Zira,” I growl, sinking deeper with every thrust, my knot rubbing against her sopping entrance.
As I pump into her, I sneak one hand to her clit, and it takes only two circles of my fingers before she’s screaming the damned gym down as she climaxes again, taking me right over the edge with her. With a loud bellow that sounds unhinged even to my ears, I push my cock deep inside her and keep pushing until my knot sinks into her body and she locks down hard on me.
I’m spurting floods of cum into her greedy body as I tip over the edge, ejaculating so hard that I almost black out, turning lightheaded and dizzy as I grind my hips and spurt ropes after ropes of cum into her clamping channel. I’m positive I feel her orgasm again, growing impossibly tighter around me, but I’m so lost in the waves of pleasure that wash over me as I flood her body with my cum, marking her inside out with my scent so thoroughly that she won’t be getting rid of it for at least two weeks.
I’m winded as fuck and gasping for air by the time I spend the last drop of my release inside her, dropping until my elbows land beside her head and her heaving chest brushes against mine. Zira’s legs fall limp around me, and I notice then that we’ve made quite the mess on the training mats.
My chuckle comes out haggard and choppy, my voice hoarse and rough when I tease, “Who knew you’d make such a mess.”
She laughs in surprise, and I groan as I tuck my face into the crook of her neck, shivering as her lock tightens around my knot. “Says you. You came so much that I can feel it dripping down my ass.”
Grinning against her skin as I begin to purr, I nuzzle her flesh and scent mark her there with kisses and teasing nips just like Barnes must have done on the other side, before saying,“Can’t mistake who you belong to now, huh?”
Her following laughter gives me the energy to rise up over her and peer down at her with a soft smile that she returns, and she sweetly proclaims, “It means you belong to me, too.”
I nod, showing her the seriousness in my eyes when I agree. “Wouldn’t want to be any other omega’s alpha, Zira Favero. You’re my little lady.”
I make a vow right there and then to prove it every single day from this moment on. And, when she gives me the green light, I’m going to bond with her so fast her head spins. That way, she’ll never have to doubt what she means to me and the others. She’ll know that she belongs with us, and we belong to her in every single way.
Chapter 17
Zira
Two weeks later and I’ve washed away every stupid thing Hunter said, successfully avoiding him when I’m not in the library. Barnes, true to his word, spoke with the Dean and she assured the situation would be dealt with. I haven’t seen Hunter in the library since, and I can’t say his presence has been missed.
I’m still not entirely sure why he’d try to cause issues, but I know that whatever his goal was, it didn’t work. Because, after spending almost every single day withmy pack, whether it be at home, visiting Mom, or one or all of them joining me at the gym while I teach class, it simply cemented that these guys are it for me, and there’s nothing a creepy biology professor can say or do that could change that. There has been a whole lot more of Silver and her pack, though I was prepared for that after Alek decided to warn me that Silver turns into a clinger with people she likes and considers family. Since Alek has declared, under absolutely no circumstances that I’m to be considered anything but family, Silver has officially made it her mission to stop by and say hi at every chance she gets.
I frigging love it.
Walking hand in hand with Barnes as we leisurely walk to North Five from Gabby’s, I laugh through the speaker of my cell I have pressed against my ear. “In my defense, you were sound asleep. You looked far too peaceful for me to wake. I did kiss your cheek before I left this morning, though.”
Ford playfully sighs from the other end of the phone. “If you’d kissed me on my mouth, I would have woken up. Then I could have barricaded you from leaving the house and forced you to spend it with my brother and me.”
I snort, and Barnes sends me an amused look before lifting our hands and pressing a kiss to the back of it, his other hand tucked in his pocket as we walk causally. We’re early enough this morning that there’s no rush, Barnes’s breakfast date this morning ending with the perfect amount of time to get to work without panicking about the time.
“Those are a lot of words to say you miss me,” I tease, though there’s truth to it. I miss Crawford and Cormac. They’ve been so busy with the new store all the way in Japan, perfecting everything so opening day goes well, that I’ve barely seen them over the past week. When I have seen them, they’re barely clinging on to consciousness, working themselves so hard that they fall asleep cuddled to me or one another.
“Pretty girl, I miss you more than I could ever say,” he confesses, and I hear the genuinity of his words as if he’s tattooed them into my heart. “Which is crazy, right? I had you cuddled between Mac and me all night last night. How can I miss you so much already?”
Leaning closer to Barnes as we walk, I peer down at the ground and smile, telling him, “It’ll all be worth it. All the late nights, the days travelling, and the missing one another. How many days until opening?”
“Two days, and then Mac and I are taking a much-deserved sabbatical. We haven’t spent anywhere near enough time with you as we’d like,” Ford complains, and I understand exactly where he’s coming from. Over the past few weeks, Barnes, Laz, and I have grown impossibly closer. Sure, the sex has something to do with that, but it’s that intimacy that’s knitted us tighter together. Spending time with them in all ways is building something real and impenetrable, and I want that with Ford and Mac, too.
I hum under my breath. “That would be beautiful. Because I miss you guys, too. Like, a lot.”
“I like hearing that, pretty girl. You have no idea,” he croons down the line, and Barnes bumps my shoulder with a wink as soon as I smell myself perfuming.
Biting my lip, I shake my head with a roll of my eyes before muttering through the phone, “Then crush this new store opening and we’ll finally get to spend some time with one another, okay?"
“We’ll do our best, beautiful,” he promises. “Have a great day today, and I’ll talk to you when you’re done with work.”
“I’m already looking forward to it,” I breathe, blowing him a kiss through the phone before ending the call and tucking my cell away in my purse. The moment my hand is free, I wrap it around Barnes’s bicep and hug his arm to my side as we continue to the library.
“It won’t be forever,” Barnes promises, kissing my forehead as we walk.
I smile up at him, appreciating his efforts to soothe me, and tell him, “Yeah. It would be nice to spend some time with them, though. I really do miss them.”
“I get it, beautiful girl,” my sweet alpha assures, squeezing my hand comfortingly before opening the door to the library for me. “How about we take you out tonight? Nothing over the top, but maybe do something to lift your spirits. We could go to the movies or something.”
