Page 112 of Running on Empty

“Yeah?”

The hint of vulnerability had me smiling so I let out a long purr of pleasure.

“Can’t you feel it? I love it when my body fights to take your knot, because right about now.” I let out a long hiss. “I start to wonder if I’ve bit off more than I can chew. You’re so big and I’m just a little omega.”

“Fucking shut up,” he growled, hearing the sarcasm and with a thrust of his hips, he shoved it right out of me.

Or into me, depending on how you looked at it.

“I’m so fucking full,” I gasped.

“Yeah, you are.” His chest pressed against my back and his hand slid down, teasing my clit. “And you’re gonna come, aren’t you? You love doing that when you’re knotted. Your cunt does its level best to push me out.” His hips jerked forward slightly. “But that’s not happening. You’ve gotta take everything I’ve got to give.”

“Mm… yes.”

Ash was too smart to not realise that I was playing him like a fiddle, but I guess we both won when I did, so he was willing to go along with it. His movements rocked me forward, slow little slips towards the ultimate pleasure before a fire ripped through my body, turning me to flame, right as he went rigid, jetting cum into me.

“You should go talk to Charlie,” he told me after pressing a gentle kiss to my neck.

“Fuck’s sake, Ash—”

“You could put some clothes on after we separate and not bother to clean up, then walk down to Charlie’s office with my cum leaking out of you.”

Fuck, he might be bossy, but when he put things that way.

“Will you promise to lick me clean like a good boy when I’m done?” I asked. “Ronan does and it feels so good.”

“Fine.” He ground that out like I was asking everything of him, completely ignoring the way his cock jerked inside me at the idea.

So that’s how I ended up walking in the door of Charlie’s office.

“Stevie.”She looked up from her laptop and smiled. “You look much better.”

“I am.” I looked over at the plush grey couch and she gestured for me to have a seat. “The guys said you wanted to talk.”

The omega snorted at that, then smiled.

“Is that how they put it? I’m not in the practice of forcing people into my office. If all people get from being here is a few days rest and some fun with the horses, that’s fine.” She closed her laptop down and then turned to face me head on. “You can’t make someone be ready to talk.”

I sat down anyway, flushing at the soggy sensation in my pants. It was kinda less sexy now my mates were off somewhere else.

“I might have to sit here for a bit if that’s OK. I kinda promised Ash I would.”

“Is he being terribly overbearing?” she asked, sounding more like an omega than a shrink.

“Dear god, is he ever.” I smiled then. “Are your guys the same? I know you didn’t get all stabby and shit but…”

“Terribly,” she replied. “Worst when I go into heat. We had some issues in the past about it and now every time it happens, they think someone’s going to invade the farm and steal me away. So what’s Ash and his brothers’ story?”

I smiled then, shooting her a sidelong look. I knew what she was doing, but somehow my mouth opened anyway.

“Ash wants to control everything because I think he thinks if he doesn’t, we’ll all die horribly or something, but when he gives up control…” My smile widened as my eyes went out of focus, remembering just what that felt like and then I went on, describing that process as politely as possible.

“So how did it go?”Jax asked as I swung in the door.

He was washing the dishes, so he flicked the bubbles off his hands and then used them to lift me up and set me on the kitchen bench. He didn’t know what it did to me, when he stepped in between my legs like I was just a girl and he was just a guy, not two people with a whole lot of history behind him. I tried to be just a girl as I slung my arms around his neck and then brushed my mouth across his. He kissed me back, slowly and sweetly until I began to shift on the benchtop, wanting more and that’s when the prick decided to pull away, looking at me meaningfully.

“It went well,” I replied. “Early days, obviously, but… I feel lighter. We talked about me being more forthcoming about asking for what I want.”
