Page 56 of I Replaced His Husband
Maybe he’d finally hit his limit, and the temptation just got too strong.
I saw his mating fangs emerge, long, sharp, white, and they sank into my gland in a mix of pain and bliss. And then… we both came. Fast, hard.
One question echoed in my head: Did he want me to belong to him, or did he just want a long-time heat servant?
Moaning, I emptied inside him, feeling his own release splatter across my stomach. He was clinging to my gland now, buried in it like he couldn’t let go. I shook from the pleasure, the intensity, the whole damn experience so primal, so deep…
…that I blacked out.
???
When I opened my eyes, Adam was standing over me, looking worried.
"Rain?" His voice pulled me out of the haze.
I blinked, confused, wondering why he was even in Kay’s room. He looked out of place, and I had no idea what was going on.
"What… what happened?"
"You passed out after Kay marked you."
Kay marked me, and I blacked out? The words circled at the edge of my mind before finally clicking into place. My hand, trembling a little, reached up to the sensitive skin on my left gland. It felt swollen, and when I touched it, I noticed a bit of dried blood on my fingertips. I’d never heard of something like that happening before. What could’ve caused it?
So I asked the first thing that popped into my foggy mind: "Is it because I’m on blockers?"
"No idea," Adam said with a shrug and a crooked smile. "But I’d guess so. Your glands are suppressed, and then suddenly they got hit with Kay’s marking pheromones. Could’ve triggered some kind of shutdown." He chuckled.
I looked around and saw Marco standing on the other side of the bed. I was still naked, but someone, probably Kay, had covered me with a blanket.
"Why are you here?"
Marco sighed. "Kay called us. He couldn’t wake you up."
That’s when I noticed Kay. Fully dressed, standing against the wall, his posture reminded me of the day I first got here. I caught his eye, but his expression was unreadable. Still, his energy gave him away, and he seemed confused, embarrassed, mostly with himself.
Marco glanced his way too. "Why’d you even bite him, Kay?" he asked. "You were marked three months ago. You two can’t be mated. This isn’t even a real heat. A bite like that doesn’t do anything."
Kay shrugged. "No idea. I just did. I didn’t really fight it."
"Well, it’s pointless. And with him on blockers, we don’t even know what kind of side effects that could happen. What if it messes with how the suppressants work?"
"I don’t know why I did it, okay?" Kay said, clearly flustered and a little regretful.
"Leave him alone," I cut in. "It’s not his fault. I asked him to. It was my call."
Kay’s eyebrows lifted slightly, surprised, but he looked away, his cheeks faintly flushed. What bugged me more was the smirk on Adam’s face and the look he shared with Marco.
"Rain," Adam muttered, "you don’t have to go into some silly alpha-protective mode and side with Kay. We’re his brothers; we’re already on his side by default."
I bit my tongue instead of snapping back. I was used to Adam’s smartass comments by now.
But then, to my surprise, someone unexpected came to my defense.
"Stop disrespecting him, Adam. You did it before, and now again; this needs to end."
We all stared in shock.
It came from Kay! Kay, of all people… Not exactly the poster boy for polite behavior. Maybe he thought he was the only one allowed to give me a hard time?
