Page 16 of Where There’s Smoke (Fire House Omegas #2)

Fitz

M elody had spent the day puttering around, and I had been resisting the urge to follow her around like one of her strays.

Not that I wouldn’t love being one of her strays. All that attention? Yes, please.

Melody deserved the best in life. I wanted to buy her everything her heart desired, to treat her as well as she treated the animals in her care.

Melody wasn’t the type of girl to be entranced by shiny jewelry, which had always been my go-to gift for the ladies, and I knew that wouldn’t impress her in the slightest.

Which was why I was currently lying back in my bunk while off shift, racking my brain for ideas.

I had the sale underway for the new shelter, but I wasn’t going to tell her about that until I was sure it was completed. A lot of things could go wrong when buying property, and even though I was confident, I refused to get her hopes up.

She would have a better location for her rescue, no matter what. It could potentially take a few weeks, however, and choosing a different plot of land was still a possibility.

As if my thoughts had summoned her, the pretty woman in question found me in my bunk. It was getting late, but Samson was sorting out hoses and Elliot was working away in his office, so I was all on my lonesome until she appeared. Truly an angel.

“Fitz?” she asked, gnawing on her lip.

“What’s up, firecracker?” I smiled, sliding my hands out from behind my head and sitting up straighter.

“I have a question… actually, it’s probably more of a proposition.”

That caught my attention, and I cocked a brow at her, grinning slightly. “I’m listening.”

“You guys seem to think I’m an omega, right?” she asked, tilting her head to the side.

I held her stare, unblinking. “We don’t think it, we know it. You’re the one who isn’t sure.”

“Well, what if I told you I had a way to find out for sure?”

My smile growing, I leaned forward onto my elbows, balancing them on my knees. “I’d say that you’ve got my attention.”

“Knot me.”

My jaw dropped so hard that it actually cracked. I shook myself, trying to figure out if she’d really said that. Staring at her in total shock, I watched as Melody’s gaze went to the floor, and she began to fidget with her sleeves, squeezing them between her fingers.

Holy shit, she’s serious.

“Are you sure?” I asked, trying to keep my voice neutral, but the excitement was hard to contain.

Melody wanted to be knotted.

And she had chosen me .

Some deity was looking down on me favorably, and there was no way I was letting anyone else take this miraculous opportunity from me.

Steadying myself with a breath, I sat tall and patted the bunk next to me for Melody to sit down.

She looked up at the sound, chewing on that lip, and dammit, if she wasn’t the cutest thing when she was nervous.

“Sit down, firecracker.”

She wandered over, and I smiled as she took her spot. Melody was still unwilling to look at me, and I lifted her chin so that she had to meet my eyes.

“This is a big deal. Are you sure? You’re not even looking at me right now.”

Melody sighed, then sucked in another big lungful of air with her eyes closed.

After a moment, she took my hand where it held her chin and forced herself to look at me.

The twinkle of anticipation and nerves in her eyes was downright charming, and I was so ready to do anything this beautiful omega asked.

“I may have nested.” She held my stare like she was looking for me to be shocked, and when I just smiled, she sighed again. “Elliot told you, didn’t he?”

“’Fraid so. And I must say, great choice in shirts. Glad to hear it was only Pack Wilder in there.”

Blushing as bright as the damn fire trucks downstairs, Melody covered her face with her hands before them dropping with a groan.

“Okay, well, yes. Anyway, it got me thinking. If you’re right, about me being an omega, then I should be able to take a knot. Right?”

Letting out a little chuckle through my nose, I nodded.

“Well, yeah. I imagine you’ll need to be warmed up a bit, especially since you’re not in heat, but yes.

You should totally be able to take a knot.

And…” My heartbeat sprinted toward the finish line, desperate to hear Melody say that she really did want this. “…you want to take mine?”

That blush persisted, and my cock twitched beneath the sweats I was wearing.

“Yes. I…I like you. I feel comfortable with you—safe. And…” Melody swallowed hard, like she was gearing herself up to admit something else on top of everything she’d already opened up to me about. “And I’ve thought about it, about you. I… want you.”

Well, hot fucking damn. If that wasn’t just the thing to make me feel like a million bucks. Hell, ten million.

“Sweetness, I would be wearing those flaming pants everyone talks about if I said I hadn’t dreamed of this moment.”

Melody smiled, and if I hadn’t already been willing to do just about anything to see that smile as often as I could, I was now.

I tested the waters by extending my hand to Melody’s knee.

Her breath hitched, and all I could do was smile.

As her eyes fluttered closed, I leaned closer, nuzzling into her neck and getting a hit of that sweet melon perfume.

She was radiating it, the arousal already coloring and strengthening her scent so that it went straight to my cock.

Melody truly smelled good enough to eat.

And I intended to.

Melody’s hands found my shoulders as I kissed and nipped at her neck, squeezing the fabric of my tee so that it pulled against my skin. But first things first, I needed to lock the damn door. No one was interrupting this.

“Stay right there. I’m just locking the door.”

Melody looked up at me, still bashful, but she nodded, and I hurried to the door, closing it and locking the thing up so that I could enjoy my omega with zero chance of some firefighter butting in at the wrong time.

Yeah, this was supposed to be a bit of an experiment, but I already knew how this was going to play out.

And Melody was going to see that soon enough.

Stalking back to her, I stood in front of Melody as I took her face in my hands, cupping her cheeks as I gazed into those dreamy blue eyes. God, I’d died and gone to heaven.

“Relax, baby. I promise to take good care of you.”

Her shoulders sagged at that, the tension releasing some, and I lowered my mouth to hers, finally getting to kiss the woman I’d been dreaming about. She hummed against my lips, and I smiled before returning all my attention to getting her good and warmed up.

Sinking down to my knees, I brought Melody forward, not breaking the kiss as I groped for the waistband of her leggings. I had a feeling that moving too slow would send Melody into a tailspin of unhelpful thoughts, so I wasted no time getting a grip on her pants and yanking them down her legs.

“Oh!” she yelped, the squeak absolutely adorable.

Looking up at her from between her thighs, I grinned like a fool. “Lie back, firecracker. Let me get you ready for your first knot.”

I was truly the luckiest man on the planet for getting to be her first.

Melody laid back, and I focused on her panties, because those bastards needed to go. They were already damp with slick, the fabric dark, thanks to her dripping arousal. That should have been enough to clue her in that she was an omega, but I wasn’t going to say anything and ruin the moment.

Her fingers squeezed the blanket covering my bunk, and I smiled up at her, stretching out an arm so that I could stroke her cheek.

“I got you.”

She relaxed again, and I guided her panties down her legs, tossing them somewhere behind me.

“Holy fuck, firecracker. You’re so gorgeous.” I leaned down and kissed the inside of her thigh. “And so wet for me.”

“Fitz,” she whimpered, this delicate sound that had my dick jerking and my knot swelling, aching to be inside her.

Licking up her thigh, I made my way straight to her pussy, diving in with everything I had. She tasted divine, sweet, melony goodness clinging to my tongue. Circling it around her needy clit, I used my fingers to spread her for me, gently massaging her entrance. Melody was so damn tight.

“Ugh! Oh, god, oh, god, oh, god…” As the mumbles spilled out of her, Melody dropped back onto my bunk, no longer resting on her elbows.

“Too much?” I looked up at her, waiting. She shook her head, reaching for the back of my head and getting me right back into place.

Okay, then.

I feasted on my sweet girl, flicking over her clit as I slipped two fingers inside her. Melody’s walls clutched me, and damn, I needed to feel them clamping down on my cock. She needed to come for me first, though.

Thankfully, it didn’t take much. Sliding my fingers in and out of her tight pussy rocked Melody right to the edge, her fingers digging into my scalp, signaling how close she was.

I lapped at her, moving faster before sliding in a third finger.

She bucked hard, rubbing against my mouth, and then cried out, slick pouring from her.

“Oh hell!”

I kept going through the aftershocks until Melody was somewhat limp again.

Gently sliding my fingers free, I leaned back into a kneel and freed my cock from my sweats.

It bobbed, and I gripped the base, lining myself up with her entrance.

Swirling myself through her folds, coating myself in her slick, I anchored one hand on my bunk as I glanced back up at her.

“Ready, firecracker?”

“Yes!” Melody hooked her legs around my hips, using them to pull me closer. “ Please .”

The motion got me sinking inside her tight pussy, and I groaned low as she gripped me.

Melody whimpered but didn’t back off, urging me deeper.

I was happy to oblige, and I sank in a few more inches.

My sweet omega was like a vise around me, her gorgeous body drawing me in.

After a few smooth back-and-forth swings of my hips, I was fully sheathed inside her, right up to my knot.

“That’s it, baby. You’re doing so well.”

“Oh, god, please , Fitz. It’s so good. I need it. I need all of you.” Melody’s eyes were squeezed closed, and I began a steady rhythm, which had them popping open.

She held my stare, and I smiled at her, offering everything in the look that my words would fail to communicate. This was incredible, perfect. She was a dream. She was mine .

Melody’s walls hugged me, and I quickened the pace, already so close to orgasm. She was just too damn good. There was no way anyone lucky enough to fuck her would be able to hold on for long. As I thrust hard, Melody cried out, wrapping her arms around my neck and drawing me closer.

I sank as deep as I could without knotting her, again testing those waters.

“Yes, Fitz. Yes! Please, please , knot me.” Her words were needy sobs, the omega instincts in her flaring to life as her perfume shot through the roof. I could tell by that alone how badly she needed me, and damn, did that feel good.

“Of course, firecracker.” I began to press my knot inside her, her eager pussy stretching for me. “I’ll give your sweet pussy whatever you need.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Ugh!” I popped in, my knot filling her. The way she felt around me was pure bliss, and I rutted into her fast and hard as my knot pulsed. Melody was truly a goddess, and she took me perfectly, her body surging as she came apart.

The climax clasped my shaft and knot so hard, I saw stars, and then I was coming right along with her.

My knot swelled, as full as it was going to get, pleasure rocketing from me as I filled Melody up.

She milked me for all I was worth, and I pumped every drop of cum I had inside her perfect little pussy.

As things slowed down, Melody was breathing hard. I was, too, and I smiled down at her as I scooted her farther back onto the bunk so that I could lie still with her until my knot went down. Her eyes were wide as she stared up at the ceiling.

I knew it could be a lot, taking a knot for the first time. I’d heard enough from other guys about how their omegas handled it, and I stroked Melody’s cheek. “You okay?”

“I…I did it. I took your knot.”

Chuckling, I fucking beamed. “I’ll say you did, and damn well too. Congrats, firecracker.”
