Briar rose up off the bed to drag Mads down, but she needn’t have bothered. He had that on us. Seemed to be able to anticipate what she wanted, needed, crawling onto the bed and covering her body with his.
“You’ve needed this for a while, haven’t you, omega?” She nodded sharply, a real desperation in her eyes. That had me moving to her side, putting her head in my lap and stroking her hair. Briar glanced at me, but her focus was drawn inexorably back to my brother. “I dreamed of this moment so many fucking times, and while it didn’t look like this.” He hitched her leg upwards, wrapping it around his waist, the other following suit. “I can’t seem to regret it. Hopefully I won’t later, when the heat breaks. I don’t want you to. If there’s anything else you need, whatever else I can do to ease you, I’ll…”
His hiss, the way his eyes went wide made clear what was happening. Not for the first time, I felt a vicious kind of jealousy. Mads never got caught up in the bullshit, didn’t seem to care what other people thought, whereas I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Always aware of everyone’s moods, I was there, tending it like a garden, pulling out weeds of anger or pain without mercy, trying to keep everything hearts and flowers.
But that wasn’t the way life worked.
When her head tilted back, her mouth falling open, I stroked her cheek.
“That’s what you needed, omega. What you’ve needed every time you’ve gone through your heat.” A strangled moan made clear what she thought about this. The silken slip of her hair on my shaft threatened my control, but I stayed right where I was. “Take your fill and you’ll feel so much better.”
That looked like something different to her than me.
Her hands reached behind, dragging me to my knees. My cock finding her lips? It felt like a magnetic force pulling ustogether. The groan that rattled my chest felt like it was dragged from the depths of me.
Then her damn tongue had to move.
Long, hard sweeps, she sucked greedily, feeling like she was dragging the depths of my soul from me.
“How’s that feel, omega?” I asked, every muscle locked down to stop myself from thrusting deeper than she could take. “So full of us. It could be like this forever…”
“Jace.”
Gideon’s growl felt wrong, his gaze intrusive, because he didn’t understand. He kept everything inside him locked down tight, whereas I had no such capacity. Whatever I had, it belonged to Briar. It might not be smart, but I was a dog that knew who I belonged to, and it was her.
“Keep going like that and I’m gonna come down your throat,” I panted. Her muffled moan told me everything I needed to know. “You want that?” My hips moved in tiny little movements. “You want a belly full of my seed? It’s yours for the taking, omega, so…”
Thoughts left my head as her hand surrounded my knot. Wasn’t the same as burying it inside her, but gods, it was close, I was sure of it. Pleasure smashed into me like a freight train, demolishing every concern, every bit of reticence, leaving me gasping. My claws pricked at her skin, right as that pleasure roared up my spine, turning my body to flame, right as I erupted down her throat. That greedy little groan followed by frantic swallows did me in. Every wave was like pure ecstasy. She milked everything I had out of me, even as my knot fought to refill.
Ready to serve her.
Mads picked her up then, turning her around and working her back down his cock.
“Need to knot you now, omega.” When his lips brushed against her neck, when her head fell against his shoulder, I knew what he was thinking. His lips peeled back from his lips, fangs flashing, but before we could protest, he turned his head away. “Tell me that’s what you need and I’ll give you everything I’ve got.”
Her hips swivelled, the movement hypnotic.
“Yes…” she gasped. “Yes…”
Chapter 46
Briar
“If you’re ready to become my mate, I will mark your neck, making clear to the entire world who you belong to…”
That memory rose unbidden the moment I ground down on Mads’ cock, but it was blown away with the fiery wind as soon as I felt his knot. Each twist of my hips had it rubbing hard against my clit, forcing fireworks to explode inside me. Clamping down on something hard, real, pumping with blood, it was so much fucking better than what I’d endured.
I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be able to go back to silicone.
If this was an old-timey TV show, a weird robot would start flailing his arms saying warning, warning, but there was no one, robot or otherwise, that could stop this. My body parted, easily at first, then I felt the stretch. Sweat beaded across my brow, a single drop sliding down my face as I rose up. The way Mads’ hands clutched at me, as if he was scared I’d pull away. That forced me to grin. There was no damn way I was pulling away from…
A pleasure I’d never known. Betas, no matter how well endowed, could not compare. The curve of Mads’ cock wasrubbing me right where I needed it with every pass, making me crave this. His hands on my hips, pulling me down harder. My body feeling like it was stretching, stretching, struggling to admit him, even when I knew I had to. My heart racing.
“You can take me, omega.” His voice was a ragged growl. “My body was made for yours. Just open up and let me in, Briar.”
Briar… My head tilted sideways at the sound of my name, his lips grazing the skin of my neck. Yes, that, I wanted him to use my name, call me sweet things as I fought to take his knot. Instead, my teeth went to my lips, biting down to keep it all back.
That’s when Gideon moved forward.
