When the cold water drips down my neck, I arch into the refreshing sensation against my hot skin.

My core is pulsing.

When I rub my thighs together, I realize that they are wet with slick.

I am hollow.

Empty.

I need a knot.

I edge my hand down to my aching pussy, only to have my wrist firmly grabbed.

I bare my fangs, snapping open my eyes.

I find myself staring into Rhett’s piercing blue eyes as he pins me down. He is just as naked as I am, and as strong and unmovable as if he is carved out of stone.

“No touching, darlin’,” Rhett commands. “Your sweet pussy belongs to me for the next day.”

“Alpha,” I struggle to throw back through the fog of the heat in my head. “Then fuck me.”

I hear Angel’s bright laugh from behind Rhett but find myself too trapped by Rhett’s gaze to turn my head to look at him.

“Looks like our Omega is the one giving the orders,” Angel says. “She already selected us. Bought us. I have fantasies of being possessed by an Omega and worshiping her.”

“I know you do, honey.” Rhett’s smile is as dangerous as a blade. He tightens his hold on my wrist. “But I don’t take orders from needy Omegas. I teach them how good it feels to stop having to give them.”

My eyes are suddenly wet.

Why does that hit so hard?

“How do you keep saying things that I didn’t even know about myself?” I whisper. When he looks like he’ll speak again, I stop him. “Give me a m-m-moment.”

He drops his hold on me, but doesn’t back away, which is exactly what I need. Instead, he sweeps his palms up and down my side.

Finally, I reach to touch his lower lip. “Alpha, keep me here feeling.”

Rhett’s expression doesn’t soften, and I’m damn happy about that. “That’s the plan through your heat, even if I could fuck you more ways than you could imagine, darlin’, and it still wouldn’t be enough.”

My heart clenches.

Then Rhett stands from the bed, and in one powerful move, I am being lifted up.

I let out a shocked but delighted cry, as Rhett hauls me up, before dropping me over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry.

Dizzy, I lie over his shoulder, as he carries me out of the bedroom and down the corridor with long strides.

“See you soon, beautiful,” I hear Angel’s laughter-laced voice call behind me. “Don’t worry, I won’t let this dominant Alpha break you. I’ll be monitoring you throughout your heat. You’re safe.”

Except, I already know I am.

I can’t wait for Rhett to try.

Excitement rushes through me.

Then Rhett stops, and I am confused, until Luca crouches down in front of me.

I see his gray eyes peering at me through pale eyelashes, before he is gripping my chin and capturing my lips in a devastating kiss.
