“Not gonna knot you, Briar. Not until you’re mine, but you’ve gotta know there’s more ways than that to give you what you need.”
“So…” She couldn’t seem to articulate what she was thinking, her hands rising and just stopping short of my chest. Heat had to be radiating off me, luring her closer. “You want me to use you?”
Yes, I wanted to shout, so the birds sleeping in the trees, the moon itself, heard me.
“It would be my pleasure.”
Her whole body trembled as her brows drew down hard, and she frowned. That little shift of her head. She was talking herself out of this, and I’d let her. A wolf didn’t bound out of the bushes and scare his prey away. He tracked, waited for the perfect moment, then went in for the kill.
“I can do it.” She pulled back, waving her hand. “I’ve done it plenty of times before, and I can do it right now.” Her hands smoothed down by her side. “If I can just find my way out of this damn forest.”
“But what if you didn’t have to?” I was moving closer, slow methodical steps she could easily shy away from. “What would that be like?” The frown faded and that was enough to have me turning her around, that soft arse pressing hard against my cock. My eyes closed for just a second, treasuring the sensation of my mate’s body against mine. Control was fraying by the second. My hand slid down her front, palm across her breasts, my eyes catching the way her nipples pulled tighter in response. “What if you gave this all to me?”
“I…” Her breath was coming faster and faster, and so was her realisation. If only for tonight, I would be her alpha. “I…”
“Need this,” I said, pressing my lips, my teeth, to her neck, but not biting down, right as my hand dove between her legs.
Fuck, Briar must be in agony.
So hot, so slick and swollen. All that blood was rushing towards her groin, preparing her for mating. The first push inside her would be fucking heaven, but right now, I focussed on finding her clit. While I was operating on theory, not experience, it wasn’t hard. Just as swollen from blood, her whole body went rigid at the first touch.
She could be too sensitive, I thought furiously, trying an experimental stroke. If it was too soon… “Ohh…” she moaned. Nope, not too soon at all. My fingers spread apart, rubbing the little nub from both sides. The way she pressed into me, the scent of roses growing stronger, the way her hips moved in time with my hand. This was going exactly the way I dreamed it would.
“Just like that…?” I rasped, but she couldn’t answer me with words. Just a sharp little whine and then a gasp as the other hand covered her breast. The nipple was caught between my fingers, rolled between them, and that had her going rigid. “Yeah, I think it is. You’re gonna come for me, Briar.”
More, my body screamed, more. My fingers delving inside her, then hooking up to press down on the spot that would have her slick gushing all over them. Dropping to my knees to lick off every drop, then going back for more. Her straddling my face, grinding me into the pine needles, the resinous scent mixing with hers as I worked my tongue up inside her and then, and only then, would she be allowed to trot back to her bed. She was my omega. I was her alpha and her pleasure was my responsibility.
“Come for me, omega, and I’ll give you exactly what you need.”
She was helpless before that growled command, her body knowing who was in control here. Her cries echoed out through the forest, sending birds scattering, as my hands moved to keep pace. Drive her on and on and on until finally she stumbled free, gasping for breath.
“Gods…” she hissed, blinking and then looking around herself. “I… We…”
“Are only getting started,” I said, then stalked towards her.
Chapter 24
Briar
“Getting started…?”
Aftershocks of pleasure were still wracking my body, so maybe that’s why I stared at Jace, uncomprehending. If I thought riding out a heat with toys or a beta was a substitute for the real thing, I was completely mistaken. Every pine needle could be felt under my feet, every breath of air on my skin, because right now my whole body had come alive in ways I’d never experienced.
“A quick orgasm in a forest isn’t going to keep your heat at bay,” Jace said, stalking forward. When I first met him, he seemed like such a golden boy, absorbing all the sun’s radiance, but right now there was something far darker, tarnished about him. He handled his achingly hard dick almost negligently, swiping pre-cum from the end and then separating his fingers so I could see the membrane forming. “If I rub my seed into you, it’ll trick your body into thinking it's been bred and give you a little respite.”
Oh.
The air seemed a few degrees chillier in that moment.
“So what?” I couldn’t keep the brittle edge from my voice. “You want to jerk off on me? I mean, I guess?—”
“Shouldn’t ask me what I want.”
I expected him to start working his dick, to watch him do it from a place far removed, so when he fell down onto his knees before me, all I could do was blink. How could a man observe a position of subservience and yet remain completely in control? I was about to find out.
“This.” A kiss on my thigh, then another. My legs were parting without even a thought. “And this.” His lips landed just above my still throbbing clit, and the traitorous bitch was dying for more. “But especially this.”
His tongue forced its way between my folds, narrowing my focus down to everywhere he touched. I was feeling the buzz of getting off seconds before and yet now the need for more bit down with all the ferocity of my wolf’s fangs. My hand went to his head, and I cradled it, feeling the soft slip of his hair right before he pushed his face between my legs. Slinging a thigh over one of his shoulders seemed the only logical choice. He needed in and I needed that cunning tongue.
