Page 47 of Knot That Difficult

Her arousal is potent, and her breath catches at my answer.

“I want a group date,” she says shakily. “You, Ben, and Ace.”

I stifle a groan at the mention of my boyfriend’s name on her lips.

“I would like that,” I say. “When are you free next?”

Say tomorrow, say tomorrow…

“I’m off Friday,” she breathes.

Five days.

Five fucking days until I can see her again, until I can breathe the same air as her…

Get it together.

But my inner Alpha roars at the injustice of it all.

I have to endure five days without the woman of my dreams.

“Friday works,” I say evenly, making sure she’s oblivious to my internal plight.

The rest of the drive goes by way too quickly, and our scents combine until I’m certain I’m going to explode.

It’s torture.

“Oh, Ben’s home,” she breathes as we pull into the parking lot of her apartment.

I’ve never been so jealous of another man before.

I open her passenger door and take my time walking her down the hallway to her apartment door.

It’s the end of our date, and all I’ve done is touch her waist and her hand.

Her arousal is potent, but I’m not going to assume what she wants.

But we pause outside her door, and I’m reluctant to let her go.

She looks up at me, her lips slightly parted, the muted light of the apartment hallway shining in her eyes.

“Devyn,” I say. “May I kiss you?”

She nods eagerly. “Yes,” she whispers. “Yes, please kiss me,Alpha.”

Something primal activates in me.

I cup her face, bring my mouth to hers, and groan.

It’s a desperate kiss, full of longing as my tongue licks inside her mouth, tasting her thoroughly.

Sweetness explodes in my senses, and she wraps her arms around my neck, moaning softly.

I commit the sound to memory, my cock hardening to steel while she pushes her tongue against mine.

Holy shit.

I have her pressed up against the door to her apartment, my body crowding hers. But she kisses me just as fiercely as I devour her, nipping at my lip until I growl into her mouth.
