“Oh, it’s almost here.” One hand moves to rub my back and I shudder as I turn my nose into his shirt, inhaling. It’s not the same one as last night, but it smells likehim, laundry detergent, and the lightest touch of rainwater.
Nice, the voice purrs in the back of my mind.
His hand moves up my back, fingers threading into my hair as he whispers, “What can I do?”
“I don’tknow.” My words come out as a whine as I press into him, pulling him practically onto the bed with me, my brain and mouth moving faster than my filter. “Am I supposed to stay here? I don’t want to go somewhere else, but if I don’t go then I’m going to stay here and cause problems for you and your pack. I don’t know what’s going on, and I don’t know how to deal with it. It’s like Ican’ttake care of myself and I don’t like feeling like this, I —”
“Okay, okay.” He shushes me, starting to pull back, but I grab him and hold him tighter, pressing my head into his chest as I try to climb into his lap.
There’s a small part of me horrified at how needy I feel as my hips roll forward, seeking him, but theomegapart overrides it. He’s safe. He’sSeth.
“You’re staying here.” He speaks firmly as his hands drop from my hair to grab my hips, lifting me and pulling me into his lap like it’s the most normal thing in the world. I straddle him, keeping my head tucked into his chest. I’m probably crushing him, but he doesn’t make any noise other than a little groan as hemutters, “We’ll make this work even if you just want me to pass you food under the door until the heat breaks.”
I whine again, raising my eyes to stare at him. “I don’t want you behind a door. I want you inme.”
He glances down at me, and the angle gives him a slight double chin — but he’s socute. I slide my hands up into his long hair, tugging at it as he blinks at me, his brown eyes near black.
“June.”
“Sorry,” I mutter the word half-heartedly, not sorry at all as I tug him against me and press my lips against his jaw, sighing as I shift my hips closer, feeling his sweats between my thighs andhim,long and the perfect thickness. I shift a little, nipping at his ear as I sigh, “It’s all moving so fast — I can move away, give me a second —”Just let me fucking come first.
“I know it’s fast.” He murmurs the words, his hands sliding over my hips as he bends his head and his lips touch my cheek, caressing my heated skin as he talks softly, shifting us on the bed. “I’m going to go out today and I’ll get you whatever you need.”
I shift against his hips, whining when he turns and pushes me slightly off his lap.
“Blankets.” Seth kisses my jaw, grabbing my hands in his, threading our fingers together. “Food. I’ll get you some toys too.”
I look up at him, suddenly finding myself flat on my back on the bed. His lean body hovers over mine, lithe muscle cording up his arms as he pins my hands loosely. I could move him — hell, my weight alone could probably shove him off me — but as his hips lower between my spread legs, I don’twantto pull away, I want him on top of me, touching me,inme.
Seth’s lips twitch as he stares down at me. “I don’t have a knot, June, you’re going to want that. We can make it work with a vibrator.”
Or we could make it work with an alpha.
Biting my lip, my eyes flicker from him to the door, memories of last night licking up my spine like fire. I breathe out, and with it, my perfume flourishes in the space. Seth doesn’t waver above me, but he does blink again, a little slower, his eyes dropping to my lips.
He shakes his head, like he’s trying to clear it, and I hum softly, smiling to myself.
Join the fucking club.
“Last night…” I swallow, letting clarity wash over me as I stare at him.
He clears his throat, shaking his head. “You and Ibothknow that Bennett couldn’t andwouldn’tstay off me last night.” He levels me with a look. “The door was open, baby, I didn’t think I needed to engrave an invitation too and leave it on your pillow, but I can next time.” He leans down, his voice getting lower. “The entire hallway smelled like you before I even saw you in the mirror — which means he probably knew before me. And when you left it hung in the air.”
Seth’s hips connect with mine, making me gasp as he grinds slowly into me.
“And it lingered long enough Bennett got hard again.”
“Oh.” I gasp as he grabs my chin with a hand, making me look up at him.
“Do you want to know what I did forouralpha, June?”
I suck in a breath as he bends down, his lips barely touching mine.
“I wrapped my hand around him and I crawled down until he could fist my hair and push himself between my lips. And I laid there and took it as he used me like the good beta I am. I let him fuck my face and my throat until I couldn’t breathe while he pretended it was you, and I loved every fuckingsecond of it.”
I moan, tilting my head up, but Seth moves first, kissing me hungrily as he pushes me down into the bed. My perfumeexplodes as he grinds against me, holding me in place as he ruts his hips against mine. I feel myself get even slicker as he slides a hand behind my head, holding me in place as he kisses my jaw and whispers, “We’re adults. Tell me, baby, doesn’t a part of you want at least three of us to fuck you through your first heat?”
Whimpering, I bite my tongue as I drag him closer by his hair, nodding quickly.
