21. Kandi

twenty-one

The omega is going to be trouble. She doesn't even realise the attention she garners when she's out in public. There is an innocence about her that draws people in, but a seductiveness that holds their attention. And it's not even on purpose.

She's naturally captivating. I close my eyes so I don't have to look at myself in the bathroom mirror, but even that's not enough. I turn and lean against the counter, folding my arms under my breasts and trying to control my thumping heart and this urge to go strip her naked and lick her up and down.

She walks into the bathroom in a tiny t-shirt and panties. They're white with red flowers. I bite my lip and force my eyes to the ceiling. Fuck my life. I'd wanted to peel that dress off her. Is there any way I can convince her to put it back on? Or maybe I can peel these off her?

"Hey, Kandi," she says and leans into me.

I try to hide my reaction to her soft curves pressed against me, but I'm only human.

"Are you going to bed?" I ask and clear my throat.

She hums in answer and turns against me, cuddling and resting her face on my shoulder. I pull her closer still. Part of me wants to just climb inside of her. The smell and taste of her. I slide my hand down her back, hesitating when I get to her ass, but then I slide my hand over the curve, squeezing gently. Fuck, she feels so good. So soft and warm.

Her breathing is rougher, and she moans and presses into me. The atmosphere has shifted, and there is a tension in the air, an expectation.

There is something so peacefully arousing about just touching her, just being able to touch her.

I stroke her ass again, my fingers sliding up under the hem of her panties. She murmurs something and tilts her face up to mine. I lean down, touching my lips to hers, pulling away, pressing in again. Teasing, lingering kisses. There's no rush.

I grip her ass and pull her closer to me.

"Kandi," she murmurs.

"Hush," I say. I lift her up and twist around, placing her on the bathroom counter. "You're temptation itself, Omega. I"ve been trying so hard to be good. To be the calm in this storm."

She whines, and as soon as I get close, wraps her legs around my waist, dragging us back together.

I fuse our mouths together and push my tongue between her lips. She matches my fervor with her own, tugging at my shoulders. I push her hands off me and palm her breasts through the thin t-shirt.

Her head falls back, and she lets out another sound. One that sets fire to my blood. I massage the soft flesh, and then rub my thumbs over her nipples. I've never touched another woman like this, but I love it. Her soft mewls are making it hard to think.

She hisses. I do it again and again. Then I grip them through the thin material and roll them between my thumb and index finger.

Jade cries out. A soft, needy fucking sound that makes me feel more powerful than anything I've experienced. I know exactly how she feels, and it's my surrender.

I lean forward, pressing my mouth to her cheek, flicking my tongue along her skin, down the side of her neck, across her collarbone. All I can taste is blackberries.

"Oh, wow, Kandi, please," Jade murmurs incoherently.

I smile against her skin but ignore her otherwise. I get to the neckline of her t-shirt and pause. Fuck it.

I rip it up over her head and fling it at the bathroom door. Now, I get to look. I get to see what Sven saw. Oh, she's beautiful. All soft curves. Her nipples have tightened into hard points of dusky rose. I didn't think I had a poetic bone in my body, but I could spout sonnets about this omega.

I lean down again, kissing the top curve of her breast. She captures my hair, pulling me closer. I like that she's so driven to pleasure, with no hesitation about demanding what she wants. I might look confident, but I'm always hesitating and wondering.

I take my time, though, leaving hot open-mouthed kisses over her breast. I'm torturing both of us when I finally lathe my tongue across her nipple. She shudders, and just watching her reactions alone is fast becoming my favourite pastime. The way her eyelashes flutter, her lower lip is plump and shimmery from our kisses. Her moans are music.

The scent of blackberries fills the room. An omega's perfume. For me. Fuck.

Her hips lift, grinding against mine. I chuckle, and then take her nipple into my mouth and suck hard. Her response is instant. She arches her back, thrusting her tit into my mouth. I slide my hand down between us, working my way under her underwear.

My heart is pounding. But it's the sounds she's making that drive me on. It's the taste of her that keeps me licking. I slide my fingers between her folds and groan around her nipple. She is soaking. Her slick and the hot wet feel of her.

"Fucking hell, Jade," I whisper.

"I want you," Jade says back with such pure honesty that it almost brings me to my knees.

I stroke her gently, getting to know her body and responses, and then press my fingers into her.

"How"s that feel?" I whisper and kiss the side of her neck.

"So good." She spreads her legs wider for me and tilts her hips in offering.

I press them in deeper. Fuck, sex with Sven is off the charts amazing, but this omega is a whole new ball game. I close my eyes, trying to get some clarity from the drug-inducing moans the omega is intoxicating me with.

"Fuck it," I hiss.

I lean over her and suck her clit through the thin panties. Blackberries hit my tongue, and I groan and redouble my efforts. I pull my fingers out and press in, working up to a frantic tempo.

She grips my hair and whines in an almost constant stream.

"Kandi!" Jade screams my name, her hips jerking into my face. I feel her clench around my fingers, and then she gushes. There is so much of this slick, and I can't stop.

I close my eyes in surrender. Is there anything about this woman I don't like? Fuck? I peel her panties aside and lap at her. She holds my hair tight in her fist, moaning and whimpering as I clean her up.

I finally lift away from her and rest my head on her shoulder.

"Okay, so you see my point about how perfect we are together, right?" Jade says in a dazed voice.

I snort a laugh at the satisfied sound in the omega's voice. "Jade," I warn.

"Mmm?"

"Shut up."

I stand up and give myself a moment to deal with the throbbing arousal between my legs, then I lift her off the counter and carry her back to the bed she's supposed to be in.

She grips my hand before I can go anywhere. "Stay with me?"

I hesitate, not because I don't want to, but because it should be Sven or Adrian here. No, stuff them. It should be me. "Okay. Let me get changed."

I slip out of the room, heading for the bedroom I stored my go bag in. I pull out a black t-shirt and clean underwear.

"What, Sven?" I ask without turning around.

He grunts. I peel off my top and turn to face him. His heated gaze lingers on my breasts, and the arousal throbs anew. Fuck.

"You…" he stops and looks away, his jaw works.

"What?" I ask, confused. "What just happened?"

"I don't know. I just felt strange for a second there." He frowns and scratches at his chest.

"I'm going to keep Jade company tonight. Why don't you use this time to wisely figure out what you've done to upset Adrian so badly he's avoiding you?"

Sven sighs. "It's probably everything I've done at this point."

"I don't know why you don't just let those walls down a bit and let people actually see you."

"Ah, but that would be easy. And I don't do easy."

I kick off my jeans and peel off my underwear. I look up just in time to see Sven rushing me. He slams me up against the wall, his thigh between my legs, so I have to stand on my tiptoes and cling to him to stay upright.

His hands encircle my wrists, pulling them over my head and pinning them there. It's always been like this with us. Rough, wild, we take from each other as much as we give.

I shift my hips, grinding myself against his thigh.

"That's my girl," Sven hisses in my ear.

"Not your girl," I growl back.

"Oh, you're always going to be my girl. My beta."

He's right. I will always be his, but he won't be mine.

His mouth latches onto the side of my neck, and he sucks hard. We have a rule about no hickies, but apparently, he's throwing it all out the window tonight.

I groan and struggle to get my arms free, but I can't. My hips move of their own accord.

Sven shifts his weight, gripping my wrists in one hand and reaching down to capture one of my thighs. He pulls it up around his waist, and I hold it there. He shifts again, and the hard erection behind his sensible blue jeans is now lined up and pressing against my aching pussy.

"You could just give me your dick," I snarl.

"I could, but I don't really feel like being that nice to you tonight, Beta."

I snarl at him. I hate it when he uses my designation, and he knows it.

"We can stand here all night or you can come on my hard cock and make sure when I go see Adrian, I smell like you."

My nostrils flare. It's all kinds of wrong, but he knows me well enough to hit the spot that sends me crazy. I'm not possessive. It's just knowing Adrian can smell me. It's like the ultimate voyeurism. And it's not the first time we've played this game.

I rock my hips, rolling them in circles, finding a rhythm that works. Sven laughs, pleased with his fucking self.

"I tongue-fucked our omega," I spit out.

Sven stiffens, and then thrusts against me so hard I gasp. "And how did she taste?"

"Like blackberry jam," I mutter smugly.

He growls in my ear, and then bites the spot that he was sucking on. "Did you make it good for her?"

Our hips rise and fall, finding a familiar rhythm.

"You know I fucking did, you prick."

He smiles smugly against my lips, and then licks a stripe across my cheek. "Ever fucked a woman before, Kandi?"

I growl, remember the feel and taste of her. "No."

"Tell me about it. I want to hear what it was like."

"She would moan. She's so soft. Her skin tastes faintly of blackberries. I got so wet, so excited, I"ve never…it never occurred to me."

Sven kisses the corner of my lips, his fingers tightening around my wrists. "You loved it."

"I loved it," I pant and let out another drawn-out moan as he grinds the hard bulge of his cock against me.

"Hurry up, Kandi, or I'll leave you like this all night," Sven whispers against my skin.

I let out a growl, but it turns into a groan. "You're such a dick."

"Mmm, but you love me."

I whimper. "Sven I need-"

He waits, but I've cut myself off. "What do you need, my love?"

I groan. I concede defeat. "Make it hurt."

Sven's chuckle is diabolical. "You got it, babe."

He reaches up and grips my breast, molding it hard. The pain is like lightning striking, and then is chased away by pleasure. I pant against his mouth. The grip of my wrists tightens even more, and when he thrusts, he almost lifts me off my feet.

He sinks his teeth into my bottom lip, the same spot he always bites me, and squeezes my nipple. Three vicious thrusts of his hips slam me into the wall. I scream through clenched teeth as my whole body convulses.

He eases back, licking the blood off my lip. "There you go, babe. There you go. Feeling better now?"

I snarl at him half-heartedly. He leans in, murmuring nonsense words in my ear. His grip on my wrists loosens as he slides them down my arms and lets me go, but he stays leaning against me.

"You haven't gone anywhere, but I miss you," Sven whispers.

I smile sadly back at him. It's ironic because he's finally getting a taste of how I feel. "I always miss you."

He sucks in a gulp of air and takes five quick steps back. I close my eyes so he doesn't see the pain in them. When the door latch snicks, I collapse on the floor.

It takes me about twenty minutes to get myself together, and then I creep back to the omega's bedroom. She watches me with huge eyes as I crawl beneath the quilt.

"Want to talk about it?" She asks.

I shake my head. "Nope."

"Okay. But I want to cuddle," Jade whispers. Her voice is hesitant like she's asking a question.

"That's the only way to sleep," I whisper back.

It takes some shuffling, but we end up laying face-to-face, our legs entwined, and our arms wrapped around each other.

"This is nice," Jade says into the silence.

"This is wonderful," I say without thinking. I lean towards her and touch my lips to hers. Our kiss evolves into another and another. There's no rush, no urgency. It's just a gentle exploration of each other.

I've never not once in all the partners I've had done this with anyone. I've never felt like this with anyone. She gets me. She understands what I need before I voice it. It's like she's a part of me I never knew was missing.

"I'm thinking that you're falling for me, just a little," Jade teases when I break away.

I close my eyes. "More than a little," I admit.

Jade jerks but softens in my arms again, snuggling even closer. "That's good."

"Oh," I say with amusement. "And why is that?"

"Because I'm falling for you, too."

And for some reason, her words make me feel like I'm flying.
