“Calling yourself a ‘guest’ here implies there was an invitation.”
“Hm?” He blinked at me. “Oh, sorry. Zoned out for a second there. I was having a flashback of being forced into this room and tied to the damn bed. You’re a lawyer, right? Last I checked, keeping a hostage is pretty fucking illegal.”
“So is breaking and entering. The way I see things, I could call my friends in the police department and have them come pick you up. I’m sure a pretty omega with a delectable scent like yours will make plenty of friends behind bars.”
His jaw ticked, and the glare was back in full force.
“Or you can answer my questions. In return, I’ll let you go and help you ride out your heat.”
“You’ll ‘help me with my heat’? Howgenerousof you.” He scoffed, eyes refusing to meet my gaze. “Hate to disappoint, but I’m not in heat. My cheapass suppressants wore off, is all.”
“Deny it all you like, but your scent doesn’t lie. Not to mention…” I placed a hand on his forehead, not deterred by him trying to lean away. His skin was hot and clammy under my palm. “You’re burning up. It won’t be long before you’re delirious.”
While triggering his heat had never been my intention when locking him in a room filled with my scent earlier, I couldn’t deny that the result pleased me to no end. Watching my feisty omega slowly come undone before my eyes was mesmerising.
My hand moved up from his forehead into his hair, letting the soft locks run through my fingers. Despite his initial recoil at my touch, this time he allowed it. He glared determinedly at the wall opposite him, but as I continued to touch him, his jaw steadily relaxed, and his scowl softened slightly.
Pride surged in my chest. Taking care of my omega, relaxing him, and easing his tensions was what my alpha was born to do. Looking after my omega was the only thing that mattered.
“I understand that you’re loyal to whoever sent you here, but like it or not, your heat has started. You can swallow handfuls of suppressants like M&M’s, but it’s not going to stop now. You won’t make it down the block without someone sniffing you out and calling the police. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to let me help you.”
“Are you kidding?” He whirled around, rising onto his knees to gain some height on me, even in his prone state. “I’m dead if I sell them out! I don’t care how good you alphas smell, it’s not worth my life.Thereforeyou can suck my dick out of the kindness of your heart before I give youanything.”
“I’m beginning to regret removing that gag.”
Giving him a moment to think he had one over on me was completely worth it, just to see that smirk wiped from his face.
In a smooth movement, I knocked him off balance and had him lying face-down on the sheets, with me straddling the back of his thighs. Turning his head to the side, he squirmed uselessly beneath me as I pinned him in place, leaning down to lightly brush my lips over his neck and inhale his addicting scent where it was strongest. His pulse thumped against my barely there lips, mint radiating from his heated skin, laced with vetiver and something metallic.
His earthy essence allowed my alpha to finallybreathe. This was where I was meant to be.
“Allow me to make something clear to you, omega.” I spoke against his neck, working my way up to his ear. “I am your alpha. Therefore, your safety and wellbeing are now my responsibility. And I will not have you suffer through a heat out of your own stubbornness. Do you truly expect me to believe that if I checkedyour needy little hole, I wouldn’t find it dripping with slick right now?”
He shivered beneath me, wriggling in a futile attempt to get away, but only managing to rub his arse and bound hands against my front. A small moan escaped him, and he muffled it against the sheets.
Fisting a hand in his hair, I pulled his head up enough to turn him to look at me. “No, let me hear you. I don’t want to miss a single noise you make.”
This time, he didn’t look away. His bright green eyes had darkened to a deep emerald, only visible as a sliver of iris around his dilated pupils, glazed over in a primal need.
“Do you feel this?” I ground my crotch into his hands, surprised when he gripped my cock through my trousers.
His fingers explored my length, rubbing the girth under his palm. I’d grown painfully hard breathing him in this close, desperately waiting for him to accept his heat and me.
“It’s all for you. You’re the only one who gets this knot.” I muttered into his ear, biting the lobe to make him squirm against me again. “I know you’ll take it so well.”
He let out a soft whimper, barely a noise at all. I would have missed it had our faces not been close enough for our breaths to mingle. The desperate sound sparked a lust inside me I’d never felt before. It would be so easy to kiss him. To taste him.
But I needed him to want it.
Reaching my other hand around him, I sat back on my knees and pulled his torso up against me. My heart pounded in my chest so hard I wondered if he could feel it against his back. He settled against me, feeling for the tent in my trousers again. His hands were magic, even when cuffed. I couldn’t wait to be inside him.
As I released his hair, letting his head rest against my shoulder, both of my hands roamed his chest under his t-shirt.His breath hitched when I found a pair of nipple piercings and circled them before gently pinching.
“Harder…” He gasped.
I rolled them between my fingers, enjoying how his hips twitched in a silent plea for friction. “Tell me your name, omega.”
Hair tickled my face as he shook his head. “You’ll have to do better than that,sir.”
