Page 29 of Claiming Xan
Not to mention, Xan’s kept me so busy, I didn’t have the energy to be angry. My beast was calm for once, and it felt good. Really good.
Just like Xan.
“God, fuck yes. You feel so good. Ride that cock, baby.” My fingers dug into the soft flesh of Xan’s hips as Xan bounced up and down on my shaft. His thighs flexed with each undulation, but I could tell he was getting tired by the way they trembled.
Xan raked his fingernails down my chest, his lips parted, pink tongue peeking out as he panted. He let out a keening whine when he sank down over me and stilled. “Ohhh, fuck me...”
I growled low in my throat, drawing his gaze to mine. Shifting my weight to get my legs beneath me, I began to do just that. I pistoned up into the Omega, making him yip with pleasure every time I nailed his prostate. Xan’s cock bounced and leaked strings of clear precum, his head thrown back in bliss.
“So fucking gorgeous.” I grabbed him and yanked him down for a kiss, bruisingly hard. Xan whimpered into my mouth. His tongue darted along mine as we kissed. “So good,” I panted.
“Harder, Riv,” he pleaded, breathless. “Close!” He buried his face in the crook of my neck, moaning loudly as I fucked him even harder, hard enough I was sure he was going to feel it in the morning, but right now, in the moment? God, it was so hot.
Xan shouted out as he came and his body cinched tight around my cock, dragging me right over the edge with him. I dug my claws into his hips and pumped until my knot swelled to lock us together as my orgasm came rushing in.
Then, to my surprise, I felt the sharp bite of fangs in my skin as Xan bit my neck on the opposite side of the mark I left on him. Tying us together…as mates.
I gasped, but it quickly turned to a moan as another wave of pleasure washed over me, cum shooting out of me in spurts to fill Xan’s tight embrace.
Xan panted against my skin, licking the wound. “Mine…” he whispered, and we collapsed on the soiled bedsheets together, our breaths coming hard and ragged. “All mine.”
I ran my fingers through his dark hair. He nuzzled in, curled up on my chest like a cat who’d just gotten away with something naughty and was pleased about it. I couldn’t help but smile. Why was that so damn endearing?
I wrapped an arm around him to keep him in place, gently kissing his neck and his sweat-damp hair.Mine…Xan wanted me? Xan claimed me?
My knot popped free eventually, in a gush of cum and slick, but we didn’t even bother cleaning up. We just scooted over, out of the mess, and curled up together.
As Xan’s breathing evened out into a deep, slumbering rest, I felt oddly at peace. My wolf was calmer than it’d been in years, no longer pacing the floors of my mind but instead, sated and sleepy.
Pleased.
Maybe Xan was just what I needed in my life. I just didn’t know it until now.

XAN
I was wokenup to a bombard of missed phone calls, voicemails and texts. Shay. Kace. Nevin.
And Mom.
“Fuck,” I uttered, rolling over and fumbling around in the darkness for the lamp. When I flipped it on, I began scrolling through the messages. My stomach sank with each one.
A voicemail from Shay said that Mom showed up at their place, demanding to know where I was, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. Shay couldn’t lie to her. I couldn’t blame him.
There were endless texts from Kace and Nevin asking where I was and what was going on, because Mom was on the rampage.
Where is River?Kace asked.Please don’t have done anything stupid, Xan…
I looked down at the Alpha slumbering beside me, completely spent and covered in bite marks, hickies and scratches. Then I looked down at myself, covered in just as many, and groaned under my breath.
God, I was so fucked… And sore. So sore.
Biting my lip, I gently shook River’s shoulder. He jerked awake with a startled growl, but when his eyes landed on me, he softened. “Shit. Sorry.” He frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“Um. We might have a problem,” I said. “Mom knows. Or she has a hunch. My family blew up my phone while we were asleep. Mom’s freaking out because we’re both missing. She’s put two and two together, I’m guessing.”
Which made sense. Why I thought I could get away with this without repercussion was beyond me. Stupid heat hormones.
