I was alive for him. And he for me.
I opened my eyes and found him staring at me. Studying me. For once, there was no shame. I wanted him too. And I wanted him to know me, especially now, still wrapped up in each other, with his cock only beginning to soften and shrink back.
“It's different when you want to do it,” he murmured, still breathless. “So many times, I did it because I had to. I needed money or to live up to a contract. I never wanted to.”
“I know. I was thinking the same thing.”
“I think Theon is using me,” Jett said.
The words landed with a thud. They cleared what was left of the haze in my head.
“I know he loves me,” he continued in a soft voice touched with embarrassment. “But I don't know how I feel because I never feel like myself when I'm with him.”
“Because you're always either fresh off a bite or angling for another one.”
His eyes widened. “That's exactly it. I can never trust myself. And I don't know what to do.”
He kissed my forehead before I buried my face in his neck, holding him now not out of lust but out of the need to maintain our connection. I didn't want it to slip away. I didn't want to lose this moment.
And I didn't want to lie to him. Not anymore. He deserved to know he was right. That he was being used, and Aldric must be behind it.
I would have told him. I would have, if the door hadn't swung open before I got the chance.
“I knew it.” And then Aldric was there, filling the world around me, pulling us apart. I fumbled at my clothes, covering myself, and he only laughed. “As if that matters. As if I haven't seen every inch of your lying, deceitful body.”
“And as for you.” He turned to Jett, who he held in place by the back of his neck, and sank his fangs deep into his flesh.
I cried out not from hunger or jealousy but dismay. Every bite threw us further apart, further away from ourselves.
Jett moaned, the sound different than the ones he made only moments ago when we were fucking against the wall. He clung to Aldric, his eyes sliding shut and his mouth open so his ecstatic moans could fill the air.
Blood shone on Aldric’s fangs when he turned away and focused his attention on me.
“And you,” Aldric bellowed. An instant later, he pierced my neck.
That was when everything got really weird.
I had been bitten before, countless times. I'd been fucked in every way imaginable.
But I had never been rocked like this. It was like the fire that Jet had started in my core exploded to new life. But this wasn't any old fire. It was more like a nuclear explosion.
“Alpha...” I moaned, my body going hot, while slick flooded my pussy and began dripping down my thighs.
“By blood.” Aldric tipped my head back, looking down at me. “You're going into a frenzy.”
His words somehow found their way through the world-shaking explosion tearing through me. A frenzy? Maybe I was an Omega, after all.
