I sighed in relief and leaned into my bond with Silver, seeking out the wash of his calm before I woke my mate and confronted the dark weight pressing down on my chest.
Silver didn’t disappoint. He never did. Even though I could tell he was struggling with his own rage at everything that was happening, I knew he would always spare some of his energy to make my life better. My omega flooded our link with cooling tranquility and I sucked it up like a greedy sponge.
Everything was going to be fine. Our omega would make sure of it.
Winding his way through the clubhouse, our mate was preparing our people for battle. He offered solace to those who grieved, passion to those who readied our defenses, and courage to those fortifying themselves. As per fucking usual, my mate was burning the candle at both ends, giving of himself selflessly to ease the Soul Reapers through tomorrow’s heartbreak.
All I could do was send him love and admiration in return.
Tenderly, I ran my fingers through the tangle of Sasha’s black hair, encouraging it to flow down her back in a silky waterfall. My ruthless mind flashed back to the way I had wrapped her hair around my hand and forced her lips to mine, then overlaid that image of intended passion with Sasha’s agony as she’d recounted similar treatment at the hands of her enemies.
My mate’s past pain and our current passion collided in my imagination. Haunted me. Ricocheted through our bond and got all jumbled up, setting my heart to racing.
The Goddess knew I was not worthy of such a woman but I would spend the rest of my days making up for my thoughtless transgressions if she’d let me. Her sleepy sigh pulled at my heart.
“Mongrel?” I pressed my beautiful mate against my chest as her green eyes fluttered open. Guilt washed over me for waking her from a much needed sleep. “Baby? What’s wrong?”
I opened my mouth to reply but found I could only look down at her. My beautiful Goddess-kissed mate. Her hair spilt over my pillow and onto my chest. Her eyes—and soul—were wide open, so trusting of her savage mate.
“You have stolen my heart, my little one.”
“Mmm, I like the sound of that.” She rubbed her face against my chest as her fingers walked down my abs to pull at my boxers. “So, you’ve reconsidered my offer then? Yup.” She let go of the elastic and grinned up at me. “Someone’s interested in more than just cuddles.” She took her bottom lip between her teeth and gripped my cock in her hand through the material of my shorts. “Can we play now, my giant of a mate?’
Fighting every instinct I had to thrust up into that tight, perfect, little fist, Sasha’s fingers tightened on my thickness. A daring grin spread over her face.
“That what you need, my mate?” I grit out.
“No.” She blinked up at me. “It’s what I want. I want you, Mongrel.”
“Can’t deny you anything, baby. Wouldn’t even want to. Hope you know that.” I groaned as she scooted back to quickly slip out of her panties and pull off the shirt she had stolen from under Silver’s pillow to sleep in. “Look at you. Fucking gorgeous.”
“You’re wearing too many clothes,” Sasha growled.
Leaning back on the pillows, she spread her thighs wide so that I could see all of her. Her pussy was swollen and wet with arousal, making my cock weep.
“Come here, my mate.”
I crooked a finger at her, needing her soft lips before we continued, or I would fall on her like an animal all over again. Gods, the need to dominate this woman—to pull her under me and mark her skin—rode me hard. No, she had suffered enough. I refused to give into those carnal urges and echo her time with the Bone Crushers.
I could be the kind and tender lover my mate needed, I would do anything for Sasha. Even if she didn’t know to ask.
“Mongrel?” she prompted, raising an eyebrow.
I pushed my boxers down and kicked them off the edge of the bed, slipped on a condom then laid down for her. I wanted my mate on top. Needed her to set the pace. To slow me down and take what she wanted. This time, Sasha would be the one in control, I’d make sure of it.
For a moment, she looked confused as I helped her climb over my hips, my fingers soft on her waist. As soon as she pressed that warm wet pussy to my cock—trapping me under her—her confusion was forgotten. “Oh.”
“Give me your lips, little alpha,” I growled as she rubbed her slit over my dick. Spitting in my palm, I added some saliva to the outside of the condom to ease any further friction. “Your mate needs you.”
“If you want my lips then take them,” she challenged, her head cocked like she wasn’t sure what was happening. “Take me, baby.”
I shook my head, huffed, then cupped the back of her head. Pulling her slowly, gently, down toward me. Fuck, was this too much? My heart was racing again. Sweat breaking out on my brow. Should I have waited for her to come to me?
With a sigh, Sasha let me pull her to my chest. Her warm lips worked eagerly against mine. Her little tongue pressing between my lips and spearing my mouth. I let her control the kiss. Meeting her thrust for thrust, but holding back the screaming urge to plunder that delicious cavern. Only fighting back as hard as she fought me.
With a disgruntled huff, she pulled back and bit my lip. Hard. Hard enough that I tasted the metallic tang of my blood on her tongue. I licked it away and continued to taste her with long, languid strokes.
She moved away to nibble and bite at my jaw. “Talk to me, Mongrel. What the fuck’s going on? What’s wrong?” Sasha grabbed my hand and pressed it into her ass, curling my fingers deep. “I want to feel you. The real you.”
