Part of me longs to scream at him for leaving me alone while the other yearns to crawl across the floor and kneel at his feet. Trapped in my growing doubt, I tremble and tuck my ruined nest tighter around me.
He turns and stalks directly toward me. Tension wraps around the base of my skull as he captures my stare with his rich brown orbs. Without hesitation, he steps onto the sleeping pad and continues around me before lowering himself. I look over my shoulder at him as he presses his front to my back and wraps himself around me. Bracketed by his massive body and encased in the remnants of our nest, my tension oscillates between fear and need.
The mess caked all over my flesh reminds me of my predicament. He covered me with his scent and fed me his seed.
He also found his release. Twice. Mine continues to build.
Thick fingers weave into my matted hair and tilt my head back before he presses the glass to my lips. I drink until he pulls the cup away.
A flush rolls from my toes to my ears. Wetness seeps into the sheets underneath me.
Without thinking, I open my mouth and ask, “What do I call you?”
His rumble vibrates through my entire body.
“Alpha. Mate. Master,” he murmurs as he shifts his grip to my nape and runs his nose along my cheek. I shiver when his breath ghosts over my jaw and down my stretched neck.
The unexpected sense of intimacy both terrifies and bolsters me. Every story told about alphas paints them as cruel, controlling beasts. I don’t know how to handle his gentleness.
“What’s your name?”
My question emerges as an uneven whisper. The fear of his rejection sits heavily in my chest.
Electricity zaps through my nerves as he licks the shell of my ear before nipping the edge of my jaw.
“No one has spoken my given name since my mother died.” My dread builds as he tilts my head further back and works his mouth down my throat. I ball my hands into fists, prepared for the worst, but he surprises me with a tiny lick before murmuring into the sensitive spot where my neck meets my shoulder. “If I tell you my name, will you cry it out as I sink into your tight, hot little body? Will you beg me to rut you harder? Plead for my knot? Demand my teeth in your flesh?”
An inferno roars to life in my core and sweeps through my entire body. I need exactly what he’s offering, but before I can respond, he smooths the flat of his tongue up the side of my throat and whispers into my ear, “Even if you won’t, I’ll still tell you because I’m a greedy bastard and need to hear your sweet voice say my name. I don’t care when or how. Now or in thirty years. Angry or in ecstasy. I. Don’t. Give. A. Fuck.” He nips my ear, sending shivers down my spine, and says, “I’ll be happy as long as I have the promise of hearing you say my name.”
Lost in the moment, I grip his thighs through the layers of material and tilt my head to meet his heavy-lidded stare.
“Tell me,” I demand in a breathy voice.
“Masst. My name is Masst.”
Emotions war within me as I drown in his vivid brown orbs, but after a few moments, an unexpected peace settles over me as I realize what he’s done.
Despite having the upper hand in every way, he did something no one would ever expect an alpha to do.
He gave me power over him.
Chapter 6
Masst
The delicate column of her throat moves as she swallows. My cock hardens and pulses, testing the seam of my pants. I lift the glass to her lips, ending our stare down, and cup the back of her head in my hand. She drinks the rest of the water before meeting my eyes again.
“Why?” she asks.
I quirk a brow and respond, “Why what?”
“Why is this so important to you?”
I rumble in delight. She’s shown resilience and a firecracker spirit, but I fall deeper into her spell as she reveals her intuition and wisdom.
The sheet slips off her shoulder, but she catches it before it exposes her breast. Her quick movement snaps my control and I react on instinct, dropping the glass and wrapping one hand around her throat while weaving the other into her filthy hair.
“There are very few certainties in this life. You want to know why it’s important to me you know my name? Because what I’m going to do to you won’t be easy. It’ll be intense, rough, and raw. I’ll be merciless and controlling, and in the end, I’ll take everything from you. Everything.”
