Kidnapping and selling Omegas. The one biggest fear of Omegas all around the world. At school, they pushed us to find mates and have them claim us. Once an Alpha marked an Omega, he would stop at nothing to protect them. That made them high risk for the black markets, but if an Omega didn’t have a mate…
Like me.
And Lorenzo knew. He knew I was unclaimed.
Tears filled my eyes, and my whole body trembled.
“Promise me,” Konstantin repeated more vehemently. His fingers dug into my flesh and I barely noticed the pain. Sizzling want soaked through me and my heat pains twisted and yanked, demanding relief.
Knot me. Oh fuck, I so badly needed his knot.
Focus, focus. My mind was hazy with my heat.
If I went back home to my father, no one would take notice of me. Life there was safe and quiet and… But Lillianna. I couldn’t leave her. She needed me more than ever.
“I promise, Mr. Birk. I’ll do whatever you want.”
Konstantin stilled and breathed in deeply. “Say it again.”
I blinked, swallowing the intoxicating mix of fear and arousal burning in my blood. “I promise.”
“No, the latter part.”
I barely heard his words. I was hypnotized by the way his mouth moved, the sensual way they pursed with the letter ‘p.’ His breath smelled faintly of bourbon, a sweet cherry on top of this sexy Alpha.
“Aubrielle.” The sharpness of his tone rang in my head.
“I’ll do whatever you want.” I said it before I even realized what I was saying and why he wanted to hear it.
Konstantin released his hold on my arms and caressed along my jawline to tap my chin. The edge of his mouth quirked up into a small, satisfied smile. “Good girl.”
CHAPTER SIXTEEN - Konstantin
This blushing angel brought the beast in me to the surface. With her alluring honeysuckle scent making me harder by the second, I couldn’t resist any longer. She wasmine.
I opened her hands and made slow circles with my thumbs in her palms. Her eyes dilated further and a delightful tremor ran through her. Heat radiated off of her as if she had a furnace inside. “Not only will I protect you, I will take care of all your needs.”
Aubrielle’s eyes widened as if she suddenly realized what I was talking about. “But—”
“No protests.” I traced my fingers up her forearms, lightly caressing and dragging my nails. Her skin was so soft and the trail of goosebumps I created told me how much she was affected. I would show her just how much she affected me. Again and again. “All of your needs. And right now, you need me, your Alpha.”
She whimpered as my hands moved to her upper arms. I soothed over the marks I left before. If anyone else would have done that to her, I would have beat them senseless, but in my possessive state, they looked like claiming marks, and I liked the feeling of her being mine. Not a bite yet, but that would come.
“Tell me what you need, bella.” I brushed the back of my hand over her cheek and she leaned into it with a wee moan, responding so perfectly to my touch.
Aubrielle turned her head to lightly kiss my wrist. Such a little gesture and yet so powerful. I pulled back the urge to pounce and fuck her on the floor. My thick cock pushed against my shorts, needing this Omega like I’ve never needed anyone else before.
“It hurts. I can’t… I want…” She fisted the folds of her skirt.
She was battling her instincts as I had done with mine. No more. “What do you want?”
“Mr. Birk.” Aubrielle rubbed her cheek against my hand again, and I caught the back of her neck to still her, forcing her head forward so that she looked into my eyes. I wanted to tell her to call me Konstantin. I wanted the intimacy of my name on her lips, but when she said Mr. Birk, the Alpha in me purred. I liked being in charge of her. Her submissive nature struck a dominant chord I never allowed to fully manifest.
“Lift your skirt and tell me what you want.” I would ask a million times, but my hold on my thin line of patience was slipping. Keeping her head in place, I raised my brows.
Inch by inch, she drew her skirt up. Over past her shapely calves and knees to start to reveal her creamy thighs. “I want you.”
Fuck, yes. “What do you want me to do?”
