Page 172 of Knot Their Soldier: Part One
Shade is touching her, not me, and yet, it feels so real. As I rub the tips of my fingers together, I curiously note both Knox and Blaze doing the same motion.
Weird. It’s like we are connected, linked inexplicably. I want to shrug it off as a strange coincidence, but if there is one thing I’ve learned during my time with an Omega, it’s that impossible doesn’t exist.
Halley leans into Shade’s touch and I feel like I’m watching something incredibly intimate. I didn’t realize they’d developed such a strong bond, and I’m briefly bowled over by a surge of jealousy. Not at Shade, but at the connection they’ve formed without the rest of us.
Shade slips his thumb over her bottom lip and plucks it from between her teeth with a wet pop. “Ah-ah, baby girl. You don’t get to play with that lip unless we get to.”
The wet sound ruins me.
Knox grunts.
Blaze growls.
I groan.
I want to be the one tugging her lips free and sliding my tongue into her mouth. I want her to gasp, and pant, and whimper as we kiss her silly.
Her scent spikes, and I breathe it deep. The smell is incredible, and a smile curls the corners of my lips.
“Why did you notice only Knox?”
She swallows, and I can almost see her mind working overtime, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse.
“It was just a funny word.”
She’s not telling the truth.
Shade knows it too. “I don’t believe you, baby girl.”
“It’s the truth.” She’s still lying.
‘Bullshit,’Blaze’s voice hisses, reverberating around my mind.
I flinch.
It’s not possible. Maybe I’ve finally succumbed to Blood Lust and delusions are a spontaneous symptom?
Blaze is done with her lies. His hand slips over her shoulder, and before we can stop him, he pinches a stiff nipple.
Halley moans.
All thoughts of mind-bending telepathy evaporate.
He does it again, and she trembles, her knees wobbling. Blaze wraps an arm around her waist, holding her upright. He flicks her nipple and Halley whimpers.
This is going to escalate real fucking soon if he keeps fondling her pretty tit.
“Blaze!” Knox barks.
Blaze snarls but releases her breast at his Prime Alpha’s order. Not before he runs his nose through her wet hair and inhales deeply, his eyelids fluttering.
Halley whimpers at the loss of contact, and a smirk of satisfaction curves across Blaze’s lips.
Crazy bastard… Lucky bastard.
Shade takes hold of her chin again, tuts softly, and repeats the question. “Why just Knox?”
“I don’t know. There was just something about him I couldn’t stop thinking about,” she gasps, the words spilling out quickly.
