Page 53 of The Twelve Knots of Christmas
I rocked against his hand and gasped as he slid a pair of fingers into me. “Wet just for you.”
Growling, he kissed me with such force that the steering wheel dug into my back. His fingers drove in and out. There hadn’t been any foreplay, but I was so damn sensitive, I was whimpering as he pleasured me. “That’s right. Squeeze my fingers, beautiful.”
With his cock constantly knocking against me, I thrust a hand down his pants and gripped him. He grunted as I stroked him and matched my rhythm with what he was doing to me. “I’d much rather have this inside of me.”
“Mm, fuck. Same.” Lucian’s hand was relentless. “But this will have to do until we get back home.”
Our breaths had fogged up the windows, and the truck rumbled around us as it fought to heat up in the cold. His hand ground against my clit, and propelled me to the edge of orgasm. I teetered there, euphoric, trembling, and never wanting him to stop.
I cried out as hot bliss burst through me. Soaking us with my slick, I shuddered and banged my back against the wheel again.
Not half a minute later, his shaft mushroomed as he came. Cum erupted all over my hand and our clothes as he shouted my name. We held each other tight as we rode out our orgasms and sagged against one another as we floated down.
I cuddled against his side when we finally hit the road. With the wicked winds, it was a longer drive to the farm than earlier, but I didn’t mind. It was warm and safe with him. I might have dozed a little too, and woke as he parked the truck in front of the farmhouse.
My door flew open as I sat up. Balthazar’s gorgeous grin within his snow dotted beard greeted me a second before Artemis bounded up into the truck to pounce on me. Laughing, I hugged her and gave her love. “Hello, sweet girl. I missed you too. Have you been a good girl all day?”
Lucian kissed the side of my neck and gave Artemis a pat before he exited the truck. Balthazar whistled for Artemis and offered a hand to me. “She was awesome. I took her out this afternoon and let her run beside me while I chopped trees and brought them into the barn. She’s been going nonstop.”
“Thank you.” I let him help me out and closed the door behind me. He enfolded me in a hug that encompassed all of me and had my insides aching for more Alpha dick. “Artemis has so much energy. She’ll sleep well tonight.”
Balthazar breathed me in and groaned. “Baby, you smell so good. Good enough to eat, and I’ve got a big appetite tonight.”
I squealed as he picked me up over one shoulder and carried me inside. Every Omega hormone in my body screamed ‘YES!’
And didn’t stop screaming all night.
It was after noon before I managed to have a shower and get dressed. Jasper and Lucian had snuggled with me in the early hours of the morning before they had to get up to do work, but Balthazar had dedicated the day to me.
He went downstairs to make us lunch as I finished dressing. Having the Alphas gone from the room seemed to be the only way I’d get any clothes on. I’d forgotten to bring another change of clothes for myself, but I pulled on Lucian’s black hoodie. I was swimming in it, but it smelled so good.
I gathered all the discarded clothes on the floor from the previous night and looked for a laundry basket, but the more I walked around with them, the more I buried my nose in them. All three of their scents were strong and distinct, but they blended together into the most alluring perfume. I stuffed the clothes in among the pillows on the bed and straightened out the sheets.
Everything should be washed, but even the thought of stripping the bed had my back arching and ready to fight. Usually I was very neat and clean. What was going on with me?
Artemis met me at the foot of the stairs and happily led me into the kitchen. Beside the big island, there was a festively decorated food dish with her name on it next to a shiny metal water bowl with dog bones imprinted on the outside. “You got Artemis her own Christmas bowl?”
Balthazar chuckled as he flipped a thick and cheesy grilled sandwich in a pan on the gas stove. “Mom met Artemis and just loves her. Sugarplum and Twinkle adopted her as a little sister too. Mom makes ceramics and sells a lot of those bowls this time of year. She couldn’t resist.”
“Remind me to tell her thank you next time I see her.” It was sweet of Liz to do so, but I hoped they wouldn’t spoil Artemis too much. We wouldn’t be here for long.
I took a seat on the opposite side of the island than Balthazar. While my heat pangs had eased, they weren’t fully gone, and proximity increased my urges. I’d spent enough time in bed with the pack. I had things to do that I couldn’t ignore.
Yet in front of the stove, Balthazar looked absolutely scrumptious. He wore a form fitting plaid flannel shirt that barely contained his muscled arms. His jeans hugged his ass in all the right ways, and the package in front… Mmm. I knew exactly what that felt like, and my hands itched to take hold of that monster again.
To distract myself, I took out my cell and checked my recent texts from Miss Eloise, Lyla, and Emberlee. “Lyla wants us to get some Culver’s for her when we pick her up. And while Miss Eloise says she doesn’t need anything, I want to pick up some of her favorite healthy and easy to swallow foods. There’s a particular apple sauce from a local store that she loves. They also make apple butter if she can swallow some toast.”
“Whatever you want to do, babe.” Balthazar flipped the grilled sandwich onto a plate and cut it diagonally. He brought it over and placed it in front of me with a pleased grin. “My famous bacon grilled cheese sandwich. Three cheeses, thick juicy bacon, tomato slices, and avocado. All the food groups in one meal.”
“It looks incredible. Thank you.” I’d never had more than a simple grilled cheese, but this was restaurant style good. Steaming cheese oozed out of the sides and onto the plate. I debated how I was going to pick it up without getting messy, but there didn’t seem to be a way to do it.
Balthazar watched as I picked up one half and opened my mouth as wide as it could go to bite into the sandwich. There was more than just what he described. Some sort of spices he’d added that gave it a smokey flavor. I closed my eyes and groaned. “So good.”
“Would you like a drink? Lemonade, a soda, or eggnog?” He purred the words, and when I opened my eyes, he was staring at me as if I was his lunch.
I smiled as I felt a blush warm my cheeks. “Water is fine, thanks. I want us to get going right after this because a winter storm is due to roll in tonight.”
He nodded and fetched a bottle of water for me. “Yeah. That arctic wind which has been smacking us is carrying a big snow on its tail. Already the drifts are pretty big outside.”
