An offering from our Alpha, I recognized, his peppermint cologne a welcome scent.

I gathered up all the material to begin remaking my nest, keeping my pillows but replacing the sheets with these peppermint-smelling ones. After smoothing out the wrinkles, I deposited the soiled linens in the basket and sat back to evaluate my improved safe haven.

Hmm, hmm, hmm… I need something else. Something…

I slowly turned my head toward my waiting Alpha. He hadn’t moved from his spot on the floor, his naked form kneeling beside the bed. The only thing he’d done was put the bowl of fruit on the nightstand.

He arched a brow at my open appraisal. “Yes, macushla?”

I pointed to the nest. “Lie down.”

His lips curved upward in open amusement. “Only for you will I obey such commands.” He carefully crawled into the center of my new haven, sprawled out on his back, and tucked his hands behind his head. “Come ride me, Omega.”

Only for you will I obey such commands, I parroted back at him in my mind, causing his eyes to narrow in challenge.

“You’ll do a lot more thanobey,” he returned as I straddled him. “You’ll beg and crawl, too.”

He thrust up, filling me in one punch of his hips, then rolled to take me to my back.

“Now kiss me, macushla,” he demanded. “Because your forced heat is ending and I want to spend the rest of our time together fucking.”

I wrapped my legs around his hips, my body his to command.

But my mind… my mind held on to his words, a small part of me wondering what he meant byendingandrest of our time.

However, his cock hit me so deep in the next instant that I lost focus on the words.

And all I could think wasMore, more, more…

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

IVANA

Warm.

Safe.

But oh my stars, ow!

I made the mistake of stretching my legs, and now I never intended to move again.What the hell did I do last night?

Me,a deep voice replied.Or rather, I did you. Repeatedly. For nearly nine days.Sensual lips met my neck, then my ear, as Cillian whispered, “You’re welcome.”

I froze.What?

My eyes fluttered.

My heart skipped several beats.

And my mind… my mind started replaying several very hot, veryintense, intimate embraces.

All of them involving Cillian’s knot. His hands. His tongue.

My hand flew to the space between my legs, then started to roam toward my backside, but I couldn’t reach much more due to his groin being pressed against my ass.

“Yes, I took you there,” he confirmed against my ear. “I took you everywhere, Vana.”

A shiver traversed my spine as I desperately clawed at the memories swirling through my thoughts. I tried to put them in order, to understand how this had happened.
