“Is... is he okay?” She swung her feet out but didn’t touch the ground.
No. No, he’s not okay. His dick is as hard as stone and his chest is rumbling and aching.
“They made him throw them up. We’re waiting on the vet.” My voice was barely recognizable with the low growl coming out of my mouth right along with it.
“I don’t know why I’m perfuming so bad. I took a blocker not even two hours ago.” She crossed her arms in an X and cupped the sides of her neck, which was where two of the scent glands were. “I’m sorry. I was drinking and I’m not thinking straight right now and-”
“You were drinking?” I lowered my hand from my face, shoving it in my pocket to remind me to keep my hands to myself. My skin itched from the need to touch her. Why was she not thinking straight? Did something happen?
She snorted a disbelieving laugh, tears springing to her eyes. “If I hadn’t been, none of this would have happened.”
“That’s why your blockers aren’t working well.”
“What? They’ve still worked when we’ve had drinks before...” She met my eyes and then quickly looked down at the ground.
“Were you around unbonded alphas and drinking before?” My spine straightened, and I dug my nails into the palms of my hands. The idea of her around any unbonded alpha, even at a meet and greet, made my blood boil.
“No, I’m not an idiot.” She stood, and if I hadn’t been prepared, the scent from her movement would have taken me to my knees.”Have you ever felt so lost that you don’t even know who you are anymore or what you’re doing?”
That was a little too close to home. I nodded because I couldn’t speak, and not just because I was trying not to inhale her scent. She knew what it felt like to have something right within your reach and have it ripped away.
With a shrug of her shoulders, she shut the back door and locked it. “I stole a car to get here from Washington.” She held the keys out and I took them. “Cal is an idiot for giving me the keys.”
“Cal trusts people too easily.” I pocketed them and couldn’t take it anymore. I walked toward her, trapping her against the car. “And apparently, so do you.”
She shuddered and looked from side to side at my arms blocking her in. “Alpha...” It was barely enough, but hearing that word fall from her plump lips was all it took.
I leaned in the rest of the way, pausing with my lips barely hovering over hers. “Let me kiss you. Just once. I need to taste you and your mouth will have to do.”
Her eyes fluttered shut and her head tilted back until it hit the window. “Yes.”
There was only one thing on my mind. Her lips. There were no thoughts of consequences or what this would mean. Alphas and omegas just didn’t go around kissing, and unless she’d kissed someone before emerging, her lips were mine to take.
But I didn’t. Not yet.
I brushed my lips along her chin, up her jaw, and to her ear. She was so intoxicating and made me feel so... alive.
“Has anyone claimed your lips?” I moved one of my hands from the window and ran my thumb over her bottom lip. It was just the right amount of soft.
“No.” Her tongue darted out to moisten her lips and touched my thumb. “Kiss me.”
There was no resisting that command, and I took her lips in a kiss that had me pressing my entire body against hers. I couldn’t stop myself from giving her all of me. My scent. My hands. My stomach. My cock. I wanted her to have it all.
She gasped, and her hands grabbed onto my biceps as I dug my fingers into her curly wet hair. Her taste was more than I could have imagined. I moved my tongue along the seam of her lips, and she opened, letting me in.
Would she spread her legs for me and let me taste the sweetness between them?
I groaned, gently pulling her head to the side by her hair so I could deepen the kiss. It had been so long since I’d kissed a woman, but kissing her was like coming home.
Our tongues tangled, hers fighting with mine and seeking entrance into my mouth. I let her explore and take over the kiss as I moved the back of my hand down her neck, across her shoulder, and down her arm.
My cock was so incredibly hard, and it hadn’t even been a minute since I’d claimed her lips as mine. But that wasn’t enough.
I growled into her mouth and hooked my arm under her ass, lifting her. She instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck, letting me even closer to her body.
There was no way I was going to be able to stop. The heat between her legs was beckoning me, and I rubbed my jeans-covered cock against her.
She gasped, her fingers digging into my hair.
