Page 11 of Omega and the Beast
She’d chosen it this time.
Wanted it.
Crying out as he thrust into her fully, filling her completely, she felt the bulge on his cock lodge in place in her body. Liquid heat pulsed, the bliss of her climax unfolding like a flower opening its petals, spreading through her from her core out to her limbs.
He growled, deep in his throat. Head bowed, he shuddered before he let her leg slide down to the side, releasing her lower body and planting his hands on either side of her. She sighed as he laid down atop her, the sensation of his body on hers feeling familiar and reassuring at this point. His cock still pulsed as her pussy squeezed him.
As they breathed together, she became all too aware of the wreckage they’d made of her nest. The impulse to put it back together was present, but small. She didn’t need it. His body atop hers, around hers, was like a nest of its own, keeping her secure and safe, an odd feeling to have about a total stranger.
He rocked his hips, moving inside her slightly. She moaned as her body clenched and squeezed another stream of fluid from him, causing him to groan with pleasure as well.
“What is that?” she murmured, panting for breath. Withhis weight atop her, the fullness of his cock within her, she felt as if she barely had room for air.
“What?” he asked, lifting his head enough to look at her.
“The… inside me.” She blushed, averting her gaze, which was ridiculous, considering everything they’d just done. Yet now that her body’s needs had subsided to less urgent levels, she couldn’t help feeling shy.
“My cock?” He raised an eyebrow at her.
She shook her head, her blush deepening.
“I’ve seen the animals breeding, cows and horses, but why can’t I… move?”
A slow smile grew on his lips. “That’s my knot.”
“Your… knot?”
His eyebrow lowered as his brow furrowed. “Has no one told you of the way it is with an Alpha and an Omega?”
Shaking her head, Callista bit her lip. She didn’t like feeling ignorant, but he wasn’t being mean about it. He seemed only confused and a little concerned. “My father and I hid my nature,” she confessed. “Father Conal?—”
A rough growl cut off her words, and if she wasn’t connected to him, she might have tried to scramble away. That kind of growl wasn’t at all like the others she’d heard him utter. Seeing her reaction, he immediately changed the noise, softening to a purr that calmed her and soothed her ragged senses.
“Do you know him?” she asked softly. She still felt safe and wasn’t frightened of him, despite his growl, but she didn’t want to upset him.
“In a manner.” His voice was harsh, but she knew it wasn’t directed at her. “You and your father hid your nature?”
Apparently, he didn’t want to talk about Father Conal. His fingers slid through her hair as she spoke, telling himabout her father’s realization that she was an Omega, the suppressants he’d acquired for her, the heats she’d gone through when he hadn’t been able to get them, and finally Father Conal’s description of the Beast in the Woods and her determination to find her father, regardless.
The only thing she didn’t tell him about was Father Conal’s marriage proposal, such as it was. She didn’t want to think about it, much less talk about it. It hardly mattered, anyway. Hopefully, everyone back in the village would think she was dead along with her father.
By the time she was done, his knot had subsided inside her, and he was able to roll off her — not that he went very far. Wrapping her in his arms, he kept her pressed against him, as though loathe to let her go. His possessiveness reminded her that she still didn’t know his name.
“I… I am Callista. Where are we?” she asked. “And who are you?”
“I am Adonis, Alpha of this territory, and we’re at my castle,” he replied easily, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Alpha of this territory? His castle? Callista blinked. Nothing of what he said made sense.

Adonis
Father Conal.Always Father Conal. The treacherous male had had an Omega right under his nose without knowing about it for years. If it hadn’t been for the hardship the vile priest had put Callista through, Adonis would have crowed with triumph. As it was, he could hardly celebrate when he’d heard how Callista had been forced to suppress her nature due to the power-hungry Father’s preaching.
He’d hoped an Omega would break the spell.
That’s what Father Conal had said all those years ago. That it would take an Omega to keep his bestial nature from overtaking him. Sadly, it didn’t seem to be true, or he wouldn’t have turned every night of her heat.
