“Time to go,” Ophelia said.

She had a way about her, able to silence all around her and ensure their compliance with just a few quietly voiced words. On her order, I felt it, the rise, curl, tighten of whatever power they thought I had, and it was hungry.

“Ask the alpha to bring you to me tomorrow, once you’ve risen from your bed,” Flora said, shooting me a wicked grin. She wasn’t going gently into any good night. I just nodded in response, then turned to face down the last group of people.

“I’m sorry I tried to get in the way of things,” Jules said, staring at Shaun, which I didn’t like at all. I slid my arm through his, and he pulled me close. “I’m sorry I doubted you. I was worried?—”

“I know you were. You saw yourself in Bec, figured things were going the same way,” Shaun replied, and there was a tightness to his voice.

“But nothing was the same, Jules, none of it.” My eyes closed for just a second as he hugged me, pressed his lips to the top of my head.

“The way things went down…it was totally different.”

“You could have asked me.” The words were out of my mouth without thinking. I forced my eyes open, took in Shaun, the other guys, then Jules. “If you were really concerned about me, talking to me about that would have been the most respectful thing to do.”

“Of course.” She nodded sharply. “I intended to when your heat was over. Women aren’t super keen on other women being around when experiencing their heats.

” I stared at her calmly, evenly. “Like you are right now. Apologies.” She ducked her head and started to edge back, her mates moving with her.

“I thought…” She let out a long sigh. “I thought wrong, that’s what I did.

But for the record” —she looked Shaun over— “I’m glad you found her, the other part of your heart. You always deserved that, Shaun.”

“And the other half of his heart looks like she’s two seconds away from ripping his clothes off in front of us, so let’s give them some space,” the blond-haired mate said, steering Jules away. “Congrats, mate, the crazy is just about to start.”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way,” Shaun replied, and when I looked up, he was staring down at me, not them. Then he steered me back inside the suite, into one of the bedrooms with a single-minded intensity.

“No,” he said to the guys when they appeared at the door. “Just…not this time. I need her, all of her. Just once.”

“Of course you do,” Axel replied. “Any of her mates will, if she chooses to take more.” There was a subtle reminder there of a potential future, one that caused a fire to light in his eyes.

He reached out, hooking Ethan around the waist, treating me to the sight of the two of them pressed together, Ethan’s hand sliding downwards.

Axel’s smirking facade cracked at the feel of the other man’s touch.

“We’ll ride out the aftershocks of what you do in the other room. ”

I groaned at that, dragging Shaun inside. He kicked the door shut behind him before he scooped me up and threw me down on the bed, following me down.

“I’m gonna need you hard and often tonight.”

I smiled, wriggling around on the soft surface, feeling an answering need inside me, something he’d be able to feel too. His mouth brushed against mine, bestowing teasing, glancing kisses there.

“And I need you naked for that.”

“You too.”

I pushed him back, unable to look away from the sight of those powerful thighs kneeling over me, but shoved his shirt up and over his head, revealing an abdomen taut with muscle.

Despite the uncomfortable position, I swept a hand over him, glorying in feeling a body I’d normally only seen in magazines.

He is pretty as a picture, isn’t he? the arch feminine voice said inside my head. I felt something shuffle, scrabble within me, but that soon quieted. Pull those ridiculously flimsy garments down. Ohh…

Mystery woman and me, we were of the same mindset, peeling back his shorts to reveal his weeping cock. Shaun was beautiful, hard, thick, the shaft flaring out the farther down he went, and I just knew what kind of stretch that’d make me feel.

Touch him. Tease him , she ordered, and for some reason, I obeyed without question.

Nothing she suggested I wouldn’t already do, so it didn’t seem to pluck at my mind.

I liked the needy sound of his groan as I wrapped my fingers around him, the flex of all those muscles as I swept my palm up and down.

“No…” he moaned. “No…”

“Don’t worry, my love.” Was it me talking, or was it her? Our voice was a low purr now. “You’ll rise again and again until I’m satisfied, but you want to taste me, don’t you?”

His head nodded jerkily, his brows creasing before he shifted, changing position, then slid between my legs, working himself down until I was straddling his face.

Yesss… she hissed. Ride him like a queen.

He said something similar, dragging me down on top of him in a position I’d always felt weird about because it put me on display, because I felt like only skinny little misses could do this safely.

But as his hands tightened and he drew me down, making me feel the stretch in my thighs, all concerns went out the window the minute his tongue flicked out.

“Fuck…” I sighed, finding my body undulated in response to his caresses, like his tongue and my spine were in sync. His fingers tightened as he really went to work, burying his face in me, licking and sucking and piercing me with his tongue until I was gasping.

We’d done this before, I could see that now.

In a bedroom within a building with a similar décor to the plaza, out on a hilltop, under a full moon.

I’d cried out my pleasure as I ground my cunt on his face, felt his nose rubbing against my clit over and over.

It was with the weight of all those past orgasms that I came right now.

It took me by surprise, my eyes flicking open, staring at the ceiling blindly as pleasure rippled through me, but Shaun didn’t let up.

One wasn’t going to be enough. He was insatiable, sucking and licking faster and faster, even as I was coming apart, prolonging the waves until they rose again.

Oh yes, this one is talented , she said inside my head, pressing our hips down, the increase in tension setting me alight. Harder, harsher pleasure radiated out as he frantically tried to keep up.

I felt like I was hovering outside my body as we kept pressing down, Shaun responding in kind, until it all got too much.

His grip tightened to the point of pain, his body thrashing, unconsciously trying to extricate himself, even as he kept on licking.

I watched myself, her, ride his face, smother him, smiling in the pursuit of her pleasure.

My heart thudded way too hard, getting faster and faster, then slower.

Not my heart. His , I thought.

Which sent me slamming back into my body so I could roll off him.

I scrambled over, saw his eyes go wide and blinking as he sucked in air, his chest pumping like bellows.

“Jesus, Shaun, love…” Oh wow, that word packed a punch, but seriously, focusing now. “Are you OK?”

But he smiled, didn’t he, rolling towards me and snuggling in, pressing that long hard length, that was somehow even harder, into my side.

I moved onto my back, parting my thighs, when he came surging between them.

All questions were abandoned when he felt down between us, fitting that big broad crown against my cunt, watching my face with complete focus as he sank deeper.

“I love that,” he rasped. “I love the way you look, the way you surrender when I push myself inside you.” He pulled back slightly, only to drive deeper, a small grunt escaping my lips.

“I love the feel of you. Your cunt sucks at my cock like it’s begging for more.

” I made some small, inarticulate noises to that effect, my fingers digging into his hips.

“I love the taste of you on my lips. I love how fucking wet you get for me. For me, Bec. And I fucking love fucking you.”

His hands grabbed my wrists, forcing me to stay still as he began to move in earnest, his thrusts getting longer, harder. I bucked up as hard as I could within the restricted range of movement, meeting him stroke for stroke.

“I love the way you respond,” he said through almost gritted teeth. “I love the sounds you make, your scent.”

His mouth went to my neck, raining kisses down on the skin there before his teeth matched the bite he’d left.

I went wild at that, squirming under him until he relented, pulling back with a wild smile.

That faded as our bodies began to move faster, his eyes spearing into me just as deeply as his cock.

“I need all of you, Bec, if only for tonight. I need those pretty little lips wrapped around my cock, you sucking down my cum when I erupt. I need to turn you around and tease your arse, get it ready for me…”

Mm… she purred. What an intriguing idea. Say yes, quick, before he changes his mind.

“Yes,” I hissed.

“Yeah?” He looked almost boyish then. “You’d give me that?”

“Everything,” I gasped out. “Everything.”

And with that, his elbows dug into the bed as he covered my body with his, the movements slower, shallower now, as if he couldn’t bear to pull back for long, and I felt the same.

I stared into his eyes, he into mine, as he broke me open in more ways than one.

I pulled my hands free and then sank them into the rich fall of his hair, and then it happened.

Coming was almost a side effect of this—a feeling of oneness that swelled brighter and purer than before.

He’d marked me, claimed me, and now there was no more hiding.

Not what I was, not my heart, not his. Our fears, vulnerabilities, future, it was all there, laid out clean and clear for the other to inspect, for the other to hold close.

His mouth fell down on mine as we erupted, and he sucked down every gasp, every cry, taking it inside him as I felt his cum jetting into me.

Yes, she said definitely. I can work with this just fine.
