T he taste of Liam’s lips sends a jolt through me, his tongue tracing the curve of my bottom lip as we ascend to the third floor. His eyes remain locked onto mine, watching as I slip into the haze of desire.

It’s the first time someone has ever paid so much attention to me, and I’m discovering that I still have a lot of firsts for Liam to uncover.

When the elevator announces our arrival, he backs away and grabs my hand, pulling me down the hall toward his suite. My legs take two steps for each of his, my heart pounding in anticipation.

At the door, he stops to unlock it, then gestures for me to enter first. A gentleman, even in his hurry .

As I cross the threshold, his gaze burns into me, devouring every inch of exposed skin. The open back of my shirt reveals more than it conceals, and Liam groans as his strong arms wrap around me from behind.

His lips meet the nape of my neck, drawing a shiver from me as he sucks on the Mark that has settled in, claiming me as his for a month before he’ll have to renew it or risk losing me to another Alpha.

“Your outfit is beautiful,” he murmurs into my ear, his warm breath raising goose bumps all over my body. “Sorry for not being there when you came looking for me.”

“Because you were with Oliver.” I stiffen with remembered jealousy. “What were you doing with him?”

Liam nuzzles his face into my upswept hair. “Don’t worry, princess. He was only asking for advice on an article he’s writing. Promise I’ll tell you about it later, but right now, I don’t want to talk about him.”

His mouth returns to my neck, laving my skin in open-mouthed kisses that have me melting into his embrace. “I love how territorial you are of me, but you have nothing to fear. I only want you.”

A flush rises to my cheeks with a mix of embarrassment and relief. I hate how anxious it makes me that another Omega had Liam’s attention before we ever met. It’s petty and childish, but this Alpha belongs to me now.

Liam’s hard cock nudges my lower back, showing how much I affect him, and my worries fade beneath the pleasure of his mouth on me. His fingers hook into the high collar of my shirt, dragging it down to expose my chest while trapping my arms to my sides.

His lips press against my bare back, trailing along my skin, making me shudder with each touch. “You’re so beautiful, and you smell so damn good. No other Omega will ever compare to you, princess.”

He peppers love bites over my freckles before sucking on my earlobe. Tingles rush downward, and my knees weaken, barely able to support the weight of my trembling body.

“I want to make redheaded babies with you.” His hand spreads over my flat stomach, stroking my quivering muscles. “I want your belly swollen with our child. I want to give you everything you ask for.”

Panting, my head drops forward, his words melting me as much as his kisses. They wrap me in a warm embrace, filling me with a sense of belonging I’ve never experienced before. No one has ever desired every part of me the way Liam does .

He unfastens the belt at my waist, dropping it to the floor. “I want to parade you around, so everyone knows what a pretty Omega I have.”

I ache at the thought, knowing it’s impossible. “You can’t do that. I have to stay hidden.”

Liam turns me to face him, his strong hands cupping my cheeks. “You won’t always be a secret, Milo. The moment those who hurt you are dead, I’ll show you off to the world. We can have a big wedding if you want, to celebrate how much we love each other.”

My heart clenches at the word ‘love,’ despite how fast it is. The idea of a marriage, though, of binding myself to him by choice instead of circumstance, creates a yearning inside for the future he dreams of.

I wiggle free of the shirt sleeves and wrap my arms around Liam’s shoulders. “Big wedding? You’re being stupid. There’s no one for me to invite.”

“Then we’ll have a small one.” His hands smooth down my back. “Just you, me, and my family on your private beach.”

“Don’t give me a beach.” My heart pounds. “Take me to bed, Alpha.”

Desire heats his eyes, and he lifts me off the ground with ease. He carries me to the bedroom, our gazes locked, and sets me down in front of the king-sized mattress.

He undoes my pants, pushes them down, and removes my shirt, leaving me bare before him. My hard dick hugs my stomach, pre-cum leaking from the tip, and he runs a finger up the vein on the underside, making me shudder. “So pretty.”

Worried he’ll turn this into another session where only I receive pleasure, I reach for the buttons on his shirt, struggling to keep my hands steady. As the cloth falls away from his shoulders, the jagged scab on Liam’s shoulder draws my attention.

Regret shoots through me for stabbing him, and I trace the edge of the wound with trembling fingers. “I’m sorry about this.”

“Hey.” Liam catches my hand and brings it to his lips. “I wear this scar proudly. It means I have a fierce little Omega who won’t back down, no matter what.”

Tears threaten, but I blink them away and lean forward to press a reverent kiss to Liam’s muscular chest. My hand sweeps over the tattoo that covers his right pec, the intricate design holding a story I want to hear. There’s so much about Liam to learn, but all of that can wait for later.

With renewed determination, I work open Liam’s pants, my hands shaking with need as I free his hard cock. The weight drags it down to jut toward me, and I wrap my hand around his thick shaft. The heat of him burns against my palm, my fingers not quite able to encircle its girth.

I remember taking it into my mouth, and then into my body during my Heat, yet it appears larger now than in those fevered memories.

“Stop.” Liam tugs my hand away. “If you keep touching me, I won’t last long.”

“Didn’t you promise to make it so I can’t sit down for a week?” I glare up at him. “Or was that all talk?”

A low growl escapes Liam’s throat. “I did promise that.” He lifts me onto the bed with a predatory grin. “And I’m not holding back today.”

The weight of Liam’s body presses down on top of me as his lips cover mine, his tongue thrusting deep in a claiming kiss. I whimper at the fullness, sucking on him as my hard dick rubs against his stomach with desire.

“God, you’re amazing,” Liam groans, his hands roaming over my body with a hunger that sends shivers through me.

He tweaks my nipples between his fingers, drawing a gasp from me as a bolt of pleasure shoots straight to the aching emptiness of my ass. The sensation only intensifies when his touch drops to my hips, stroking my quivering thighs as he spreads them apart.

“Please, Alpha,” I beg, hoarse with need.

The scent of our arousal fills the room, an intoxicating mix of musk and pheromones that only heighten my desire for him.

Sensing my impatience, Liam grasps behind my knee and pushes it toward my chest. His other hand moves lower, teasing my slick entrance.

“You’re so wet for me, princess,” he murmurs, rough with lust as his fingers thrust inside.

My back arches at the stretch, pleasure streaking up my spine at the intrusion. But it’s not Liam’s fingers I want this time. I need something more, something deeper. I reach between our bodies to grip Liam’s cock with a determination born of desperation.

Gentle concern fills his gaze. “We can take our time.”

“Every night this past week we’ve taken our time, and every night it ends the same way.” I draw my other knee up, tilting my hips in demand. “I want you inside me, Alpha.”

“You’re not ready.”

My hold tightens on his shaft. “Now.”

“All right, princess.” He groans as he takes my hand from him, and he shifts into position. “If that’s what you want.”

The pressure of Liam’s blunt head at my opening draws a relieved whimper from me. He studies my face as he breaches me, the intense stretch burning at the edges of pain.

“Ow!” I hiss, scratching at Liam’s shoulders, unable to handle the discomfort.

He freezes, only partway inside me, and catches my hands, pinning them to the mattress above my head. His lips find my throat, brushing soft, apologetic kisses against my skin. “Sorry, princess, this is why I didn’t want to rush.”

“It didn’t hurt last time,” I protest, my voice strained from the tension coiling in my body.

“You were more open during your Heat,” Liam reminds me gently. “But I’ll make this good for you, I promise.”

He stays still within me, allowing me to adjust to the sensation of him filling me, stretching me beyond what his fingers did. This isn’t my first time, but I’ve never been with an Alpha before, so I didn’t understand the difference.

Kissing and petting me, he whispers, “Relax, princess. Melt for me.”

The pleasure slowly returns, replacing the discomfort, and my inner muscles relax around him as more slick coats my ass, easing the way.

“That’s it. You’re doing so well,” Liam praises, squeezing my hands.

Eyes locked with mine, he pushes farther inside, each inch making me gasp and whimper as my body opens to him. This experience is more intense than when I was in Heat, but it’s better without my mind hazy from the need to breed.

As Liam sinks deeper within me, a sense of belonging fills me that nothing else has ever come close to. My heart races, my breath comes in shallow pants, and the world outside our bedroom fades away, leaving only the two of us entwined in this perfect moment.

Warmth spreads through me, seeping into my limbs. My body grows heavy and pliant beneath Liam, who watches with a mix of pride and some other emotion I’m too scared to accept so soon.

“That’s it, princess, let me take care of you.” He releases my hands to grip my thighs instead, tilting my hips into a new angle as he thrusts the rest of the way inside.

A gasp escapes as he fills me completely, the sensation overwhelming and indescribably right.

He leans back to stare down at where we join, and a possessive growl rumbles from him. “You look so pretty, taking my cock.”

My ass clenches at his words, making him groan.

He eases out, allowing us both to admire how his thick length glistens with my slick. “Such a good Omega for me.”

I shudder at the praise, proud that I please my Alpha.

Then Liam thrusts in earnest, and I grip the sheets next to my head, sinking into the rhythm of his movements. Desire builds within me, tingles curling up my spine and setting every nerve alight.

Moans tumble from my lips, growing in intensity as I surrender to Liam. My vision blurs, my thoughts scattering. All that remains is the steady rise and fall, the push and pull drawing me closer and closer to the edge.

Pleasure swells like a wave, and when it crashes, I cry out, my dick pulsing with the force of my release. Liam groans, driving himself deep one final time, flooding my channel with liquid heat.

He pulls from my body, his cock still semi-hard, and stares down at my loose entrance. “So lovely stuffed with my cum.”

Pulse racing, I roll onto my stomach and lift my hips toward him. “Fill me again, Alpha. ”

“Fuck, princess.” His palms spread over my ass cheeks, spreading them open, and warm fluid trickles down my thighs. “Are you trying to break me?”

Settling my chest on the mattress, I bury my nose in the pheromone-drenched sheets. “Now, Alpha.”

“Fucking beautiful,” he breathes, and bends to my demands.
