Page 48 of The Twelve Knots of Christmas
A shadow passed in front of the half-open bathroom door. “Hey, good morning. How are you?”
Lucian. The sound of his voice went right to my pussy. A gush of slick wet my thighs, and suddenly all I could think about was dragging him into the shower with me and getting way more dirty than clean.
I slowly stood and Artemis pranced out of the bathroom to greet him with her tail wagging madly like she was a puppyagain. Lucian said something to Artemis and called her a good girl, but it was my thighs that clenched together as he did.
Fuck my heat. It was distracting me from what was important.
“Hi. I’m… okay. Um, do you know where my phone is? I need to see how Miss Eloise is doing and talk to Lyla. I was supposed to go back to the hospital this morning, but I guess I needed to sleep.” And get filled by Alpha cock. The one I wanted now was just on the other side of that door.
“After everything… We decided to let you sleep.” Lucian stepped closer to the door. “I was charging your phone for you, but I’ll go get it. We did hear from Lyla, though. Well, Liz did, and Eloise is awake.”
Miss Eloise was awake! I let out a relieved moan and my body sagged if it was just relieved of a twenty ton weight.
I had to get to the hospital. I had to see how she was doing and apologize to Lyla. Again.
The tempting scent of cedar and peppermint had me shiver and stoked the fire between my legs. I tried to wipe away my slick with the towel, but it kept coming.
Lucian.
I had to have him.
“Thank you. So much. I’m happy she’s awake.”Now get in here and give me your hard cock!
“I’m glad. We’re all relieved. Do you want anything else when I get your phone? I can bring you something to eat, coffee, anything.” He was right on the other side. A foot away from me. It was as if I could feel his body against mine already.
He was being so sweet and all I wanted was him to fuck me. My heat pains made me groan. There was no way I’d be able to do anything else until my urges were quelled.
I peered around the door to see Lucian with his hand on the frame. He was dressed in a black hoodie and gray sweatpantsthat highlighted his huge erection. His darkened eyes met mine and there was nothing sweet in his gaze which claimed me with its intensity.
“Mariska,” he said my name with a rough edge, and I became wetter yet.
“Anything?” I raised my brows and stepped to the side to open the door all the way. It didn’t even occur to me to be embarrassed of my nakedness, especially when a growl peeled from his throat. Another wave of crushing need had me sway as I tried to keep to my feet. “All I need is you.”
Lucian snatched my wrist and pulled me to him as if I were on a patch of slick ice. I rubbed against him like a wanton feline. “You have me. All of me.”
I breathed him in. His Alpha scent was fresh, invigorating… as if I needed to feel any more energized by him. I groped his stiff cock through his pants. “I don’t have all of you in me yet.”
He kissed me with enough force that it pushed me back against the door frame and banged my arm. Lucian’s eyes widened as he took a step back. “I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”
If my arm hurt at all, I had no idea. My body was raging with how badly I needed him. “Yes. Don’t stop.”
I stood on my toes and pulled him to me for another feral kiss. He immediately went back into beast mode. His hands were all over me, squeezing, kneading, groping. We breathed the same air as his tongue dominated mine, nearly lifting me off my feet as his body pressed mine into the door frame.
There was nothing else I could think about than having him inside of me. Jasper and Balthazar had fucked me, but neither had knotted me. There was no way I was letting this end without him knotting me.
I pushed us away from the bathroom and toward the bed. Yanking on his shirt, we both scrambled to pull it over his head.His chest was hard and lean and so smooth. I mashed as much of myself against his bare skin as I could. Fire erupted at every contact.
Lucian swept me off my feet and I was suddenly in the air, plunking down with a gasp on the bed. He’d thrown me.
An Alpha had literally thrown me on a bed.
My mussed hair fell around my face and my legs akimbo. Heat scorched as it raced through my veins. My heart pounded and my breaths became ragged.
He stalked toward me. No longer sweet, considerate Lucian. He’d transformed into a hungry animal with his sights set on his prey.
Stripping himself of his pants, boxers and all, he continued forward like a fallen angel. Gorgeous, ferocious, and ethereal.
Lucian’s hand shot out and cupped my chin, holding me so he could bend and kiss me with near bruising force. Our tongues twined as his free hand skimmed over the tops of my immensely sensitive breasts and down over my hip toward my drenched core. He rubbed my pussy with a satisfied groan.
