Chapter 27

Annika tries to strangle me with her thighs as she comes for the second time on my tongue. My entire face and hand are saturated with her slick.

I pop up, angry and desperate to murder Ward, so he can't take up her attention.

Shaking my head doesn't rid me of the alpha fog that has snuck in.

Annika has him bent over her face in a modified push-up that allows him to fuck her mouth. The sight of her nails digging into his ass has my fist flying to my aching cock. It's been severely neglected, but I thought we were getting to the part where I finally got to shove it inside her.

"Goddamn, lass," Ward growls, sliding a hand between them to cup her head. He's kneeling near her shoulder, but sideways. I'm a little impressed that she can even fit him in her mouth from that direction.

Annika lifts her legs, wrapping them around my ass as I kneel between her spread thighs. She tugs me toward her, but I hold myself back.

I need to see her face when I slide inside her.

Instead, I aim my crown for her clit and tighten my hold on my cock. She squirms as my tip bounces against her slick-soaked cunt.

My mouth falls open as I watch her tight little hole clench around nothing. Feeling her ripple around my fingers was almost too much in my jacked-up state, and if I'm not careful, I've got the potential to embarrass myself.

They say omegas are insatiable during a heat, but alphas are supposed to be built to meet their needs. It's a mystery to me, considering I've never fucked an omega before, but supposedly, there's no refractory period when omega pheromones are involved.

Ward growls, "I'm there, lass. I want you to drink down every drop of my hot cum."

Annika squirms, and I bend over her lower half until my left forearm lands next to her middle. My palm tightens on my shaft as I jerk myself off right against her swollen clit.

She's so wet, but everything gets slicker as she moans.

"God fucking damn," Ward groans, finally pulling off her top. He falls back on his ass as Annika leans up on her forearms. My eyes widen as I see exactly how red and swollen his knot is. That can't feel great.

"It's time for you to get inside me," she says to me, cupping her heavy tit and pinching the nipple.

A low, dangerous snarl escapes as I notch at her opening, and as I crawl up her body, I thrust into her. It's rougher than I intended to be, but I feel like my sanity is hanging on by a thread. Her slick heat stretching around my shaft only ratchets up my impulses to bite and breed her.

My weight falls on top of her warm skin. Normally, I'd worry about crushing her, but I'm too transfixed by the feeling of her milking my cock to do anything for the first few seconds.

"Ugh, alphas," she grumbles, shoving my shoulder. "It's like I have to do everything."

Ward snorts as I roll us.

She scrambles up on her knees and starts bouncing on my cock. Her nails dig into my chest painfully as she leans closer.

I sit up in a partial crunch and kiss her as one hand tangles in her waves and the other falls to her hips.

"You've got a perfect cock," she gasps. "I'm so full, but I need more."

I'm the one gasping when she rises and falls frantically and spears herself on my cock so deeply, my knot wedges just inside her opening.

"That's a good girl," Ward coos, appearing at our side. I'm so gone to the feeling of my knot locking inside her that I don't even growl at him to back off. It's alarming to feel how much cooler his skin is than hers as he slides a hand between us to tease her clit. "Is that helping? Do you like being stretched around Cas's fat knot?"

"Yes," she sobs, grinding her pelvis in a way that makes my length jolt.

Jesus Christ.

Everything is so intense, and the scent of her perfume makes me even more ravenous.

"You feel like fucking perfection," I groan, yanking her head back with my hand in her hair. Her eyes flutter shut, and my teeth ache as the urge to bite her washes over me. "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You'd freak the fuck out if you could hear the thoughts running through my head. My instincts are much more hedonistic than I am."

Annika's nails dig into my chest as the fluttering waves of her pussy rippling around me turn to a milking feeling that has my cock swelling as my balls ache.

"Oh, God." Her shoulders start to tremble, and the look on her face does me in.

She fights my hold on her hair and slams her mouth to mine.

"Bite me, Cas," she says between kisses.

The fog must fully be in control because even Ward's chuckling doesn't stop me from pulling her head to the side and biting into her throat. Her blood fills my mouth while my cock kicks, filling her with hot jets of cum.

Annika's begging fills the air.

Her nails rake down my shoulders as I force her to grind over my throbbing length.

I'm so blitzed, I feel like a vampire sucking at her throat as the blood fills my mouth.

I growl as it finally dawns on me that I'm supposed to nurse the bite to seal it.

Annika's creamy caramel scent floods my senses, but not in the normal way, like when I scent her. It's like her smell floats around my mind as her pleasure courses through the bond.

Holy fucking shit.

I'm bonded.

She accepted my bite.

My tongue flicks over the wound on her neck one last time, and I pull back to breathe.

Annika is hazy eyed to the point I'm genuinely concerned I shouldn't have bitten her.

I open my mouth to apologize or possibly to beg forgiveness, but she pinches the fuck out of my nipple.

"You better not be having regrets now, Mr. Forbes." She gives me an exasperated look.

"She's clear enough to form sentences," Ward says, kissing over her shoulder. "I'm thinking that means it's a safe bet that she's clear enough to consent."

"Oh, yeah, I'm good." She smiles, rising and falling on her knees as much as the position will allow. "I'm going to be even better with both of you inside me."

"We'll need lube," I choke out as my knot pulses. "I'm pretty sure you'll find some in the cabinets." I pull a hand off her hip to point to the wall.

"Does lube expire?" she asks, frowning.

My head tilts. "I have no clue, but probably."

"I'll be happy to check the bottle," Ward says, his accent especially thick.

Grady slams the door open and jogs into the room.

I growl, baring my teeth at the intruder. My instincts don't care that they have a bond. I do, too, and she's mine right at this moment. He shouldn't be interrupting.

"You know, realizing you need lube from the bond is the weirdest shit I've ever experienced," he says, laughing. He tosses a bottle at Ward, who catches it one-handed.

"Don't lie," Annika snorts, flicking her thumbs over my nipples. "It's not even close to the weirdest thing you've experienced. Personally, I'd find it weird if you didn't pack lube as an emergency go-bag essential."

"Smart-ass. I actually picked that up at the last gas station, considering my threats at the rest stop. It's not the one we normally use, but it'll do." He chuckles, spinning around and heading back out the door. "I love your spoiled ass."

"Me too," she groans, swiveling her hips in a circle. It pushes on my knot in unexpected ways that have me cursing under my breath as her tits jiggle.

Ward quirks an eyebrow, grinning. "Being bonded is stranger than I expected."

Annika turns into a sobbing puddle of omega against my chest as Ward works his fingers in and out of her ass.

I didn't grow up in a pack. My dad is a serial monogamist. Hell, I never thought I would end up in a pack. I never really wanted to. All of that adds up to this being my first group sex activity, but Ward seems right at home.

Although, to be fair, nothing ever seems to faze him.

My chest officially looks like I lost a skirmish with a bobcat, but no matter how many times I come while locked inside Annika, my cock never gets soft.

It's wild.

Ward leans over her back and murmurs, "I think that's about as prepped as I can get you, lass."

Annika snorts. "Grady would be balls-deep by now, but thank you for being a considerate alpha." She perks up, like maybe the last wave of fog dissipated a little. "Now, do me."

I grit my teeth as he flexes his fingers.

It's been a long few minutes of her sobbing while my cock aches but doesn't get any relief.

Leaning up on my forearm, I brush her sweaty hair back from her face with both hands. "There's no pressure in this situation. If it's too much, all you have to do is say so."

"I know," she says, licking her puffy lips. "But I got kinda lazy. This way, Ward gets to do all the work of fucking me on your cock."

I nod.

By the time I glance at Ward, he's spread wide behind her with his knees on either side of my thighs. He pulls his fingers free, and I finally feel like I can breathe. The pressure was almost too much to handle. It's only another second before I realize it's about to get a whole lot more intense.

Ward thrusts, and my entire body goes rigid.

"Are you still okay?" I choke out, studying her face.

He's barely inside her, but the feeling is unreal. I'm pretty sure my knot was already taking up all the free space.

Annika whimpers as he gently pulls back and works deeper.

"Ward," I caution.

"She's good," Ward growls, running his hand down her spine. "Aren't you?"

"So good," she agrees, shoving my hands away, so she can flatten herself on my chest once more. Even the slight change in the tilt of her body is enough to make my cock jump.

"Focus on the bond." Ward grins, working deeper on his next stroke. "She's blissed-out, but her body is quite literally made for this."

"Yep," Annika says, sounding slurred. "Great. Exceptional. Other words that mean, I feel fucking fantastic."

I nod, exhaling in pure relief.

The bond will take some getting used to, but unless I'm focusing on her, it can be easy to miss. Or perhaps, I just haven't got enough experience yet to figure out how it works.

Ward continues working in and out of her ass. He eventually settles inside her fully and grins. "All right, lass. Let's see if we can make you scream."
