Page 134 of Knot Their Soldier: Part One
Her stomach muscles clench in response. I lift a thick brow.
“Have you been all pent up, Omega?” I tease.
I know I’m being a cheeky ass. I can’t help myself; it’s my natural state of being.
“I broke the rule Knox gave me on day one. Worse than that, when I couldn’t come on my own, I made Shade help me.”
“Made him?” I choke on a laugh. “I can assure you, Sparkles. No one makes Shade do a thing he hasn’t thought through. The guy never stops thinking. He had the consequences mapped out even before you asked him to use that studded tongue of his to flick your little bean. I think I know him well enough to say it was worth it. I know I’d pay that price ten times over.”
“Blaze, the price was your fist,” she accuses.
I grin and shrug.
“You psycho,” she hums affectionately, and my grin widens. Her eyes soften. “You were so upset, and the look on Viper’s face… and Knox’s anger. He lost control. Omegas can tell when their Alphas are upset. I can’t bear the thought of disappointing any of you and…”
“Your Alphas, huh?” I cock my head to the side, giving her a smoldering, knowing look.
“What?”
“You called us your Alphas.”
“I… I…” she looks at the surrounding forest, searching for an excuse or a change in subject. I won’t let this go. Not on her life.I’m a tenacious bastard and considered the best at interrogation for a reason. I can get the truth out of anyone. Coordinates of weapon stores, movements of enemy troops, their Momma’s secret recipe… an Omega’s not-so-subtle attraction is a piece of cake.
I sigh in exaggerated relief. “I’m glad you know the truth too. It’s one less person to convince.”
“Convince?”
“I told you before, you’re our Omega.” I tap the tip of my finger to her cute button nose, making a ‘boop’ sound.
She looks like she’s about to protest. I shake my head at her, and then I’m gripping her hips. I haul her tighter against me, and my cock presses firmly against her core. Her legs struggle to wrap around my waist, her thighs spread to their max. Fuck, she’s so small, and it makes me shudder with arousal. A rumble vibrates in my chest as her scent thickens in the surrounding air, and I press her closer to me, pushing her head into my throat, letting her inhale my scent from the source – my mating gland.
“You feel it too.”
She blinks up at me and then her eyes well up.
Fuck.
No. Nope. Not what I was going for.
Red alert. Red alert. Crying Omega!
Her face quickly twists and a bark of laughter surprises me. “Oh Blaze, your face! You looked terrified.”
I grunt and respond, chagrinned. “I don’t think there is anything I’m more afraid of than upsetting you.”
Her smile and her glistening eyes soften. “You’re not joking around, are you? You think I’m your Omega.”
Shrugging, I revel in the warmth seeping from her body into mine. “Yes and no. I think you’re ourPack’sOmega. You belong withallof us.”
She blinks up at me for a long moment. The wind has a chill in it, and she should be shivering, but her body is still an inferno.
“Mmm, I don’t think your illustrious Prime Alpha agrees. He seems to hate me and how I make him feel.”
“Oh sweet Sparkles, all that bluster isn’t hate. I’ve never seen Knox lose control the way he does around you, and he’s pissed with himself.”
She bites her lower lip and looks up through her long lashes. My dick twitches again.
“He doesn’t like not being in complete control, does he?”
