“Join me?” she asks, sliding to the side and resting her arms against the edge. Her hair is pulled into a messy bun that flops when she lays her cheek against her palm.

She’s beautiful.

A stunning vision of an Omega in her element.

Jerking my head in agreement, I strip my clothes off and step into the steaming hot water beside her. We float, enjoying the heat and the soft sounds of the house as everyone else wakes up.

One of her hands trails down the inside of my forearm, tracing aimless patterns. The tiniest ember sparks to life low in my groin. A whisper of maybe that I won’t mention until I know if it will grow into something.

“Are you happy here, Quentin?”

Her unexpected question startles me. My gut instinct is to assume I’ve done something to make her believe I am not, but I force myself to think before I reply.

“I am, because you are happy here. And I will always be happiest wherever your heart is most content.”

I’m drawn closer to her when she purses her lips, her eyes closed and her head lolling against the cushion at the edge of the tub.

“Out of all my mates, this move is more jarring for you. California was your home. It’s where your family is. I can’t help but feel as though I didn’t consider your feelings when I asked to move here permanently.”

Gripping her cheek in my palm, I brush my thumb across her jaw, reveling in her smooth skin.

“You are my home. Our pack is my family. No guilt should rest on your shoulders when there is nowhere I would rather be than at your side. Genuinely. I would follow you into the depths of oblivion if that’s where you wished to go.”

Huffing, her eyes pop open, annoyance pinching her brow. She’s adorable when she’s angry, and I feel the urge to kiss her, so I do. Our lips meet, hers stilling before they move hungrily with mine.

She doesn’t push, doesn’t let her hands wander like she would with her other mates, and I fall impossibly more in love with her.

Teasing my tongue against hers, that small ember ignites into a spark. One I want to nurture into a roaring fire.

I start slow. My hands gripping her face tighter, my lips pressing insistently to hers. My cock swells. A natural reaction to the burst of her scent as she shifts beside me, her thighs pressing together.

One hand drags down her throat, enjoying the way her pulse races beneath my thumb. Leaning back, I study her face as I flex my fingers, squeezing her neck lightly.

“Can I make you come?”

Her tongue slides across her bottom lip, cheeks flushing as she shifts into my arms. “Yes, please.”

She’s soft against my chest, pliant as I guide her legs to straddle my thighs. Heat presses to my semi-hard length as she settles against me.

So beautiful and sweet.

So utterly mine.

Gripping her hips, I keep our pace slow and steady, helping her rock against me. Water sloshes in the tub, shallow waves spurred by our movements. Her eyes never leave mine. The emotion in them lays me bare, flaying my soul open and offering every jagged piece for her choosing.

A raspy cry parts her lips. Slick gushes from her opening, mixing with the water to smooth her grind against my cock.

Her arms hang loosely around my shoulders, fingers digging into the cushion as her pleasure rises. I can feel it in our bond, the way she burns from the inside out, the ragged need that rages within her.

She’s a goddess bewitching me to worship at her feet.

My knot swells, bumping against her entrance, as release races toward me. Dropping one hand from her hip, I toy with her clit, guiding her to the edge. One hard pinch and she shatters, body shaking and a scream tearing from her throat.

I feel her pussy clench down, her body stiff and her keen muffled against my collarbone. Lifting my hips, I push her higher, prolonging her orgasm while chasing my own.

The ember blazes into an inferno as I come, shaking and clinging to my mate.

We catch our breaths, her head on my shoulder, until anxiety crawls up my spine. Holding her in my arms is no hardship. I love being close to her, feeling her chest rise with each breath, but I cannot handle sitting in slick and cum filled water.
