Page 7 of Knot Letting Go (Knotty Streak Omegaverse #4)

Rain slammed against the windows as I tossed and turned. I finally threw back the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing my face. There was no way I was getting any fucking sleep tonight.

The weight of everything pressed heavily on my shoulders.

Yet I had no choice but to bear it. Quill had gotten better with helping with the load, but he had far less experience running a business than I did.

We were nowhere near done cleaning up all the damage my father had done over the years, and sometimes I wondered if we could ever do so.

There was no choice but to push forward though. Lillianna’s future depended on it.

To top it off, my father-in-law refused to close out all the contracts the Birk family had with the Pacettis.

Quill and I wanted to consolidate, having no more partners, but Lorenzo wanted to expand to create several new subsidiaries.

All covers for his illegal businesses, of course. I wanted no part of it.

Lawsuit after lawsuit. My lawyers were being run around in circles. The fucker needed to just let go.

“Fuck.” I stood and walked to lean against the frame of the French doors which led out to my balcony. Low black clouds rolled across the night sky like a neverending stampede mirroring my mood.

To top it off, it had been nearly a week since Aubrielle started working for me. A week with that luscious Omega in my home… making every excuse to leave a room when I entered it. She was always polite, but there was something under it: a hint of fear. And fuck me, I liked it.

When she hurried off, I wanted to chase her. Her sweet pear and rose scent was easy to follow through the manor. Like a wolf tracking its prey, I followed her irresistible perfume through every room she walked through each day with my dick achingly hard.

Earlier today, I watched Aubrielle outside with my daughter.

They danced in the wind and then crafted a kite.

They made it look like a bird and covered it in glittering stickers.

Lillianna loved the kite so much, she didn’t want to part with it, and placed it on the end of her bed when it was time to go to sleep.

Aubrielle’s absolute unawareness of her immense beauty made my growing obsession with her all the more powerful. Except she was my daughter’s nanny, a person in my employ. My life was messy enough without becoming involved with not just her, but anyone.

I pushed myself away from the window and returned to bed. Pressing the heels of my palms against my closed eyes, I commanded myself to sleep.

Yet all I could see with Aubrielle’s shy smile and the creamy skin of her legs when the wind blew her skirt up earlier. I wanted nothing more than to have those curvy legs wrapped around me as I pounded into her. It was almost as if I could feel the heat of her from across the hall in her own room.

She always ran away because she felt the same thing. She had to. It was enormous, that raw attraction. Alpha and Omega.

It had been a long time since I’d been with a woman. My hand was a poor replacement for an Omega like Aubrielle. Oh how tight and wet she’d be, the little sexy noises she’d make, how she’d cling to me.

Fuck. I needed her like I’d never needed anyone else.

Something in me snapped and, with a growl, I was on my feet again and stalking out of the room. I didn’t bother with the lights. I knew this house like the back of my hand. I knew precisely where she was sleeping.

Shadows danced along the hallway as the rain continued to pummel the earth. I blinked, and I was standing at Aubrielle’s door, throwing it open. Thunder rumbled, and as if it carried me to the foot of her bed, I stared at her half-covered by a silken sheet.

Aubrielle wore a pale pink camisole that barely contained her full breasts.

Her nipples poked at the thin material as her chest slowly rose and fell.

Her legs were bare, revealing much more skin than I saw earlier when her skirt flipped up from the wind.

Her long hair cascaded over the edge of her pillow and her luscious lips were slightly open.

Beautiful didn’t seem like a powerful enough word for her. I gripped the edge of the footboard as I breathed her in. Sweet and pure, and so very feminine.

I could have stared at her forever. The connection I felt, like she was the other half of me. It was as if I’d known her all my life, but I didn’t. I knew very little about her. She was a stranger and yet touched the most intimate part of me.

Aubrielle’s eyes fluttered open and she gazed at me as if she couldn’t figure out if I was real or not. Curiosity, shock, and then embarrassment raced across her face before she reached for the blanket to cover herself.

I grabbed it, preventing her from hiding herself from me. Not tonight.

She tugged on the blanket, but I pulled back and yanked it completely off the bed.

Holy hell. She wore only panties. Lacy, scant, and pink. The fabric molded to her tempting pussy.

Thunder drummed as if surrounding the manor. Aubrielle curled her legs up to her and wrapped her arms around herself, hiding her face behind her hair. “Mr. Birk…”

Did she know how every time she called me that, it went straight to my cock?

It was already hard, but now my erection ached without mercy.

Every day I kept myself in check, following the rules, locking down all my emotions and desires.

It was driving me crazy, and this hot little minx of an Omega had taken me over the edge.

I couldn’t hold back any longer. I didn’t want to.

Darting around the side of the bed, she slipped toward the opposite direction. I leapt and snatched her around the waist, dragging her back flush against my body. Her bare skin rubbed against me, and a jolt of triumph, of rightness, lanced through me. I brushed my lips over her neck.

Bite her. Claim her. Fuck!

“Mr. Birk, please, it isn’t proper.” Her mewling plea had me growling.

“Fucking right it isn’t.” My hands skimmed over her soft skin, exploring every inch of her irresistible body.

Her scent exploded, making me groan. Her floral musk enchanted me and screamed with her own arousal.

“Tell me you don’t want me, that you aren’t as turned on as I am, and I’ll leave right now. ”

Her ass bumped back up against me, and I nearly lost my load right there.

Aubrielle trembled and moaned. Her breaths came in quick pants as I noticed a growing wetness between her legs. Slick streamed down, soaking through her panties and my boxers. “I can’t,” she whispered and gripped my forearms. “Oh God, I do.”

“You do what?” I nipped her earlobe and gave it a suck.

Sliding a hand up under her cami, I cupped a breast and firmly kneaded it.

My hips rocked against her taut rear, slowly pushing her so that she was under me on the bed.

The head of my cock popped out of the top of my drawers and had me shudder with extra sensitivity.

“I do… want you.” She gasped as I pinched her hardened nipple. “But we shouldn’t…”

I snatched her chin and twisted her head to kiss me. My heartbeat rocketed and I could only think of one thing: knotting her. There was no stopping it now.

My tongue tangled with hers, owning her mouth. Mine. She was mine.

With a snarl, I ripped her panties off and slammed my hips against her bare ass. The slapping noise resounded sharply and was addictive. I rocked against her again and again. My thick cock sawed between her rounded cheeks and smeared pre-cum along her cleft.

Slick had drenched her sheets. Aubrielle whimpered and groaned against my mouth, writing under me. Letting go of her chin, I pushed off my boxers the rest of the way and maneuvered her forward so I could kneel on the mattress behind her.

I kept her legs spread and directed my erection down to rub between her slippery labia.

She let out a small cry as I bumped my cock’s head against her clit.

“You’re ready for me, dolcezza.” I bent and kissed over her shoulder, nipping at her smooth skin.

“I’m going to fuck you hard and fill you with my knot. ”

“Yes, oh yes!” Aubrielle fisted the sheets and wiggled her ass against me.

I couldn’t hold back anymore. Thrusting hard into her, we both cried out in unison. I buried myself deep, letting my balls slap against her. Nothing had ever felt more right in my life.

Holding her hips with a bruising grip, I fucked her as if I could join us together as one being. The swelling knot told me that this wasn’t going to last long, but I couldn’t slow down. Harder and faster, making her scream and shudder under me as she came.

“Aubrielle.” Her name was the word that would bring me to paradise. My sac drew up and I threw back my head. “Fuck!”

I exploded with such a force it felt like I’d been cast out of my body, but I was suddenly very much in it again.

Hot cum soaked my boxers as my hips jerked with nothing but a blanket under them.

I grasped my cock and stroked out the remaining semen, panting and staring into the darkness of my room.

My heart pounded, louder than the now distant thunder.

A dream. It had all been a dream.

An incredibly intense one. I’d never been one to have vivid dreams, and I certainly hadn’t had a wet one since I’d been a teen.

Aubrielle. I hadn’t even touched the Omega’s hand, and I was obsessed.

This was dangerous. Could I trust myself to be a respectful boss and not let the beast of my Alpha side claim her?

I’d never experienced anything like it. Whenever other Alphas said they couldn’t control themselves around compatible Omegas, I’d always rolled my eyes.

I’d seen them as weak, but now I understood.

The power of my instincts to fuck her, knot her, make her mine, were ferociously strong. Yet, I reminded myself, I hadn’t done so. I’d only dreamed of it.

I was stronger than everyone else. I could handle this. X-rated dreams didn’t hurt anyone.

My hand continued to grip my dick. My balls had emptied, but I was still hard. The feeling of her beneath me in the dream, the heat of her cunt around me, her hot mouth on mine…

My employee. My daughter’s nanny.

Dammit. I was strong enough. I had to be.
