Chapter 9

Knox

I had paperwork to fill out and a debriefing to go through, but my boss seemed to be struggling with my scent just as much as everyone else, so he sent me home to take care of myself. Maybe that was what I would have had to do in the past, but now I had an alpha to take care of my baser needs.

I climbed into Luca's truck with adrenaline coursing through my body. We were both a little high from the excitement and anticipation as we drove home, but by the time we reached Luca's bedroom, excitement had given way to exhaustion.

For the past several days—weeks, really—I'd been tense. On edge. But without Luca the past few nights, I'd become a wreck.

He undressed me slowly and planted gentle kisses on my neck and shoulders. His cock was thick and bouncing, even bigger than it had been in the past. He was ready too as his whole body trembled in front of me while he pushed out ragged breaths. He laid me down on the bed and pulled the comforter over me, then slipped in beside me.

I turned to kiss him and reached down to caress his hard cock.

He moaned but guided my hand away. "Later, you need to rest."

I wanted him with every fiber of my being. It had been days since we made love, after a month of making love every day, sometimes more than once. I was exhausted, but I needed him.

Luca nudged me onto my stomach then began to rub my shoulders.

His hands were still trembling as his fingers kneaded my tense muscles, and it was so good. "That feels amazing." I turned back to look at him. "Are you okay, alpha?"

Luca closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It's very difficult to resist you right now."

I smiled and murmured, "So take me." But he just kept massaging me with strong hands that worked my muscles into butter. The next thing I knew, it was morning.

The shower was running when I woke up. I reached over to Luca's side of the bed and it was wet with sweat. I was driving the poor man out of his mind.

Grinning and no longer able to wait, I rolled out of bed and headed to the shower. I could see through the glass door that he was still hard as a rock and huge. When Luca saw me, he smiled and beckoned me toward him.

I immediately stepped into his wet arms. "The bed's all sweaty."

He laughed. "Sorry." He grabbed my ass with both his hands and grunted as he pulled me closer. "You make me hot."

Finally, he turned me around so the warm water could run over me. Luca took the soap and began to lather me. "You smell amazing."

I could feel his desire for me as if it were water in a lake I was swimming in. The effect my heat had on him was palpable, and his eyes had an almost drunken look to them.

We started to kiss, slowly and deeply. It felt different than any time before, like we were connected in a deeper way.

He loved me. I could feel it.

Luca's firm body pushed me up against the wall of the shower and rubbed against me. His slow kisses traveled from my mouth to my jaw and then down my neck. His tongue teased along my collarbone, breathing my scent in until he stopped at my nipples, pausing to suck each one, followed by playful bites, and then down the line of my belly to my hard cock.

Moaning in pleasure, I pushed his head toward me, letting him know I wanted it. His long, slow licks along my shaft were torture as he circled the head of my cock with his tongue. I gasped and pressed back into the shower wall and looked down at his handsome face, framed by wet black curls.

His strong hands gripped my thighs as I thrust my hips forward into his mouth. "Fuck yeah."

He'd learned my body so well over the past month and knew exactly how I liked to be sucked strongly as he took all of me into his mouth. Pleasure shot through me as I cried out. "Don't stop."

Luca stood up and grinned before turning off the water and leading me to the bed. Sometimes my alpha liked to be a little rough, which I liked, but now he was all tenderness. The way he held me made my heart ache with a longing I didn't recognize.

Once I was on the bed, he kneeled above my spread legs with his massive cock pointing upward, the veins popping out as precome gathered at his head. I'd never seen anything so beautiful as this man. I'd never been this deep into a heat before and I was seconds away from a frenzy of lust and desire taking over.

"Take me, alpha. I need you." I lifted my legs and spread them wider for him.

Luca guided himself into me, slowly filling me until I felt that initial tinge of pain that happened whenever he first entered me. He paused once he was fully inside me, letting my body relax and accommodate his girth.

After a moment, I put my hands on his ass and began rocking against him. "More. Please."

He kissed me, filling me with both his tongue and his cock. "I'm here, omega."

My legs locked around his hips as he pushed in and out of me, finally giving me what my body had been begging to feel for days. "Luca…"

His breath was hot and fast as he moved, getting just as close to exploding as I was. "Yes?" He drove deeper into me, one hand cupping my ass, the other cupping my face.

"Luca, I love you."

He moaned with pleasure as soon as I finally said the words out loud and the pressure inside me was even stronger. "I love you too, Knox. So fucking much."

It was such a relief to say what I'd been holding back for weeks. Now that we were safe, it meant even more to hear Luca say the words back to me. My heart and body were both riding a wave of joy and ecstasy I'd never known before.

I pushed back on him, wanting to take even more of him in. I wanted every inch inside me. Forever. And then, as if willed into being, there was more of him. His shaft felt even bigger as he pushed inside.

I needed his knot. "Come in me, alpha. Give me your knot."

"Fuck." He grunted through his overwhelming need for me. "Take every drop of it."

I started to come in intense waves, rocking and pulsing against him as his knot expanded and locked his warm seed inside me.

And as all the tension of the operation and my heat and my growing love for Luca was finally realized, I drifted off to sleep with Luca knotted deeply inside of me, feeling safe and like I was finally home.
