Page 49 of The Twelve Knots of Christmas
“So beautiful, so wet.” He ran a finger along my slit before circling my clit. I whimpered as I reached for his shoulders to pull him down on top of me, but he resisted. He nipped at my lower lip and nudged me to lie on my back. “Down. Spread wider for me. I want to taste you first. You smell so good.”
I didn’t even think not to obey him. Sinking back, I propped myself up on my elbows so I could watch him kiss along my legs to my aching center. His hair was even more pale beside my flushed skin but his gaze was darker yet as his mouth latched onto my pussy.
Crying out, I arched my back and shook as his tongue lapped at me. Up and down and then burrowing inside. Fast and rough, like a starving predator.
I squirmed, arched, and kicked. Lucian sucked on my clit and grabbed my legs. He set them over his shoulders and held my hips, pulling me to him even as he was still feasting on my pussy.
“Oh God!” I was at his mercy and there was nothing tender about it. I felt his thrusting tongue and scraping teeth and I lost it.
Screaming his name, I thrashed beneath him as my orgasm smashed into me. While I was lying in a white bed, colors exploded behind my closed eyes as climatic pleasure seared every inch of me.
Lucian kissed and licked his way up my body before I started to come down from those blissful heights and positioned himself between my legs. Slick gushed forth in anticipation. I gripped his shoulders as he prodded me with his cock’s head.
My juices coated the lower half of his face. His lips were swollen and his cheeks were flushed. “Fuck, Mariska. I haven’t thought of anything else except this since the moment I met you.”
He drove into me, and I cried out. My nails dug into his flesh. He kissed from my mouth down to my neck. The sting of bites accentuated the animalistic joy of having him fill me and fuck me hard.
My mewls and whimpers added fuel to his already rabid appetite. “Lucian, yes! So close.” I didn’t even recognize my own voice, husky and wild.
“You feel so fucking good.” His mouth then covered mine again as spread me wider with the force of his pounding hips. We slid a little ways across the bed with each few thrusts.
His knot swelled and knocked up against all the right spots. I rocked with him as much as I could while pinned under his hot body. When my second climax exploded, my cries were muffled against his mouth.
Lucian didn’t stop. Not for a second.
His knot thickened and locked inside of me, and that feeling caused something in me to bloom like a flower opening at lightning speed for the sun and basking in primal delight.
Lucian’s grunt and orgasmic bellow followed. Each spurt of cum had me shudder as he filled me and eradicated the stabbing pains of my heat.
I was limp under him, moaning with satiation. His lips brushed over mine as the hardness drained from his muscles, and he scooped me up to press against him as he rolled onto his back. I draped over him, locked deliciously together by his knot.
He gently brushed my hair away from my face before tucking my head under his chin. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be so…”
“Incredible?” I hummed and smiled against his chest. I lightly traced my fingers along his arm. “You don’t need to apologize for anything. I was ready to jump you like a horny wild cat.”
“You’re welcome to do that any time.” Lucian chuckled and gave me a squeeze. “I just want to make sure that I wasn’t too rough. You bring out something in me. It’s never happened with anyone else. It’s like I’m Jekyll and Hyde or a werewolf and you’re my full moon.”
The way he said it, like he was worshipping me, made my heart melt as thoroughly as my body already had. Jack had always made me feel like I should be the one lucky to be with him, but Lucian, no, the entire pack here at the farm acted like I was the most precious thing in the world.
“Mm, I like that. A sweetheart by day and a sexy heathen monster at night. Well, I guess it’s day right now, so you can shift at any time.” I giggled and moved to prop up my chin on my hands to look at his handsome face. “It’s no wonder you had the magic in you to trigger my heat. One little touch…”
“I triggered your heat?” His eyes widened and his lips parted, his surprise genuine. “But Balthazar… He took you to the market and spent that whole afternoon with you.”
I smirked and tried to scootch up to kiss him, but I only managed to graze my lips over the cleft in his chin. “Nope. You. After we finished working last Friday and you handed me Artemis’ leash. It was a light touch but it changed me forever.”
“I thought…”
“It was you,” I repeated, needing him to understand just how much he’d affected me. I’d watched the three of them together. Jasper and Balthazar had big personalities, and sometimes butted heads. Lucian was the peacemaker in the pack. To most people, his voice didn’t seem as loud, but he was every bit as strong as they were. “No Alpha before you had affected me that way.”
Lucian lazily stroked his thumb along the bottom curve of my spine as he let my words sink in. He gazed at me with not only awe, but with something else I didn’t want to name.
He needed to hear this. I didn’t know why, but it didn’t matter. I punctuated it with one more fact. “You’re also the first Alpha to knot me.” I wiggled my hips and grinned as he sucked in a breath. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
I settled my head down on his chest again, and he kissed the top of my forehead. “Thank you.” His whisper was thick with emotion. “You don’t know how much it means to me to hear that. This gift you’ve given me, I’ll cherish it forever.”
Closing my eyes, I bit the side of my tongue so as not to say anything else. This conversation was growing too emotional, too close to declarations that I couldn’t afford to hear. Hell, I was in danger of saying the words which were growing in my heart too.
With what had happened with Miss Eloise and my new job waiting for me in California, I had too much to deal with to add falling for this sexy Alpha.
