Page 55 of The Twelve Knots of Christmas
“I like that.” I grinned and motioned to her to join me on the bed. My heart raced a little faster. Not just because I was horny as fuck, but she was redecorating a room that she claimed she’d only be in temporarily. She was… I laughed out loud with our victory. “Do you have everything you need for your nest? Make a list, and we’ll order anything you want.”
Mariska surveyed the chairs once more before crawling onto the bed with me. “I’m not nesting. This room had no personality. I’m helping it…” She paused, freezing as her jaw dropped. She then flopped backward on the bed. “I am nesting. How did I not even realize this was what it was when I was doing it?”
I couldn’t stop grinning. Gathering her to me, I held her on my lap and made no move to hide my arousal. I kissed her head. “Omega instincts, baby. It means you’re comfortable here and that you want to settle into the space and get ready to have babies.”
She gave a snorting laugh and wiggled against me. “Yes, I’m comfortable, but it doesn’t mean I want babies.” She ran her nails lightly over my bare chest and along my arms. “Though I do like the act of making them an awful lot.”
A shiver ran through me in the best of ways. Fucking hell, my Omega knew just how to tease me. “You and me both, sweetheart.” I growled and mashed my mouth against her in a claiming kiss. “But there will be babies. Lots of babies.”
Mariska rolled her eyes and pushed me backward, shimmying her hips as she straddled me proper. “I don’t know where you’re getting all those babies from, but it isn’t from me. I’m way too young and on birth control.”
I furrowed my brow and bit back a groan as she ground against me. My dick didn’t want to talk anymore, but I couldn’t let that last part go. I’d knotted her. So had Lucian. There would be babies. “What do you mean you’re on birth control? You were a virgin.”
She bent and kissed over my chest, nipping at my pecs. Her hips rolled against mine and wet my boxers with her slick. “I was, but Omegas’ periods can be really rough. The hormones from birth control injections help a lot.”
Running one hand through her silky hair, I groped one of her tits as her hungry mouth licked and nibbled on me. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t heard that some Omegas could have bad periods, and I didn’t want her to suffer every month. But in my head, she was already pregnant. We’d have a baby by the end of summer next year, and Christmas would be full of toys, little booties, and making a sibling for that kid.
There had never been an Omega who fit with our pack. She was the one and only. I’d looked for years, and fuck, I didn’t want to wait any longer to start a family.
Taking hold of the back of her neck and her tight ass, I rolled and flipped us. Her hair fanned out behind her head and her legs cradled me perfectly. Birth control wasn’t one hundred percent. And if it didn’t happen during her heat, once she decided to stay as our mate, I’d convince her to stop the injections.
I pushed off my boxers and dipped my dick into her hot pussy. She tried to shrug my flannel shirt off and I stopped her with a kiss. “Keep it on. You look so sexy in my shirt.”
Mariska moaned as I pushed deeper into her and locked her legs around me. She trembled and tightened, and it felt as good as the first time I fucked her. No, it was even better. “So you don’t want me to wear lingerie, just your clothes.”
“Mm, I like that. All mine.” I thrust in all the way, my balls slapping against her. “Or be naked.”
She mewled as I pulled slowly out and slammed into her again. Slow and slick, and then fast and hard. I would never get tired of the erotic little noises she made and the heat of her cunt. Her scent was so thick and creamy with its feminine musk. She even tasted of vanilla as I dominated her mouth with my kisses.
“So,” she gasped and groaned, vibrating her words. “I wouldn’t have to buy clothes. Ever. Good way to save money.”
I chuckled low in my throat and kissed down along her neck. “It works on all levels.”
Mariska ran her hands up and down my back and I picked up speed, hammering her into the mattress as my knot started to swell. Every instinct in me told me to bite, to make my mark, and declare her as mine.
I couldn’t ever lose her.
“Oh fuck! Balthazar!” Mariska clutched at me, her back arching.
She was mine. She had to know it deep in her bones.
Her body shuddered and she cried out. Her pussy spasmed around my cock. I had made her come. Me.
Every ounce of my blood felt like it filled my knot. It locked in her as my sac tightened.
Fuck, I loved her. I loved her from the second I saw her walking in the snow.
I roared as I came, filling her with my potent Alpha seed. With every hot jet, my brain could only think:mine, mine, mine.
Mariska sighed in a sweet, soft way and went limb under me. Her legs fell to either side. Still fuzzy with my orgasmic high, I stretched out, leaning my weight to one side so I didn’t squish her. I caressed her face, tracing each of her flushed features, memorizing her beauty. How lucky was I to be compatible with this gorgeous Omega?
She needed to know how much she meant to me, to our pack.
“Mariska,” I breathed her name out with a kiss. “I…”
There were footsteps in the hall and the door swung open. Jasper leaned against the frame and grinned. “Dinner’s almost ready. You’ve got five minutes to detach and clean up.”
“We’re going to need more than five minutes, man.” I nuzzled the top of Mariska’s head. His appearance made me grit my teeth. We’d discussed not rushing things emotionally with our Omega. Jasper was sure that any major declarations would send her running for the west coast. I’d agreed with him, but my heart was aching to share with her. To let her know that she was loved so much already.
