Then my breath came out on a similar sound, and Rik wasn’t moving me that hard either. Something zinged up my spine to the top of myskull.
“He’s got a hook,” Rik finally said, tipping up into me a bit further. Harder. I jerked in his grip like a live wire shot a million volts of electricity throughme.
I forced my eyes open and glared down at him. “I don’t know what that is. What’s with you tonight? You’ve never felt so…so…”
He rolled his hips again and a sound escaped my lips that would have embarrassed me if anyone but my Blood had heard it. Somewhere between a squawk and asqueal.
A low growl rumbled from Ezra’s chest. It took me a second to realize it was a laugh. “Don’t tell me this is the first time you let your alpha drink from that sweetpussy.”
“Daire’s done it before,” I replied, trying not to sound like every muscle in my body was vibrating withtension.
“D isn’t your alpha though, is he, sweetheart.” He tugged Daire’s head back toward him, bowing his back, seating himself deeper. “Though it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that he’d be licking that cream every chance he gets. He always was alicker.”
Sensation screamed through me, making me twitch, gasp, and jerk in Rik’s grasp. I couldn’t stop it. It didn’t feel bad. In fact, it felt pretty fucking fantastic. I just didn’t like that I couldn’t control my own reactions in theslightest.
If he actually startedthrusting…
I was pretty sure I’d lose my ever lovingmind.
“Biology is a pretty fucking amazing thing.” He pushed up again, sending another earthquake quivering through my body. “A queen wants a strong alpha to continue her line, and if she’s breeding, she wants him to empty himself thoroughly, ensuring as good a chance as possible that she’ll conceive. So your cream tastes extra special and will make me empty everything in my balls at once. I’ll be wiped out for at least a couple of hours. Even more, my dick has a little extra power now, too, because it’s to the alpha’s advantage to please his queen well and long, so she’ll not only want him in her bed, she’ll want him to taste her again andagain.”
“But I’m not—” My eyes flew open. I needed to talk to Dr. Borcht again and run some more tests so we could pinpoint my reproductive cycle. I’d thought I bled every month because I was doing the normal human menstruation thing. But if I wasn’t even half human… Had I really been breeding? Or would I ovulate in a few days like a normal humanwould?
“You would know if you were pregnant,” Rik said, breaking the frantic chain of thoughts crowding mybrain.
I focused on his face. “Are yousure?”
He nodded, eyes solemn. “You’d know. We’d all know. We’d feel it. You’re notpregnant.”
“Hold on,” Ezra said. “She’s already been breeding? Thisyoung?”
“Just days ago,” Rik replied. “Though we haven’t figured out her biologyyet.”
“Fuck me,” Ezra muttered. “Too bad I didn’t hoof it a bit faster through themountains.”
Daire wriggled in his grip, making them both groan. “What he failed to mention is that she says she breeds every month withoutfail.”
“Fuuuuuuck,” Ezra groaned again. “Yeah. I’m no alpha but I’d tapthat.”
Rik didn’t make a sound, but his bond swelled as if he was shifting to his rocktroll.
“Uh, after you, of course, alpha,” Ezra added hurriedly in the most polite tone I’d ever heard himuse.
I met his gaze, irritated, yeah, because he didn’t care what I thought about beingtappedat all, let alone on my period. I didn’t say anything, but his cheeks blazed red and he ducked his head. “No disrespect intended, my queen. Please forgive my rough and oafish habits. I’m not used to caring what anyone thinks about the fool words that come out of my mouth. I’ll dobetter.”
Not surprising anyone, it was Daire who managed to break the ice and ease the straining tensions betweenus.
“He fucks better than he talks, my queen. Maybe you’d better hurry up and show her,Griz.”

Daire
The three peopleI loved most in this world were here. Together. Made possible only by Shara fucking Isador, myqueen.
I’d forgotten how sexy Ezra could be. Rough and crude on the outside, yet behind closed doors, amazingly tender and gentle. Shara might not realize how rare and special it was to see him like this. While I loved the shit out of Rik and would follow himanywhere…
I loved this big old grizzly bear too. And I was right. He could fuck like no oneelse.
