“What the fuck?”

I might be out of it, but I was still coherent enough to process that promise. That threat.

My outrage was somewhat undermined by the embarrassing noise that left me as Alexei pulled his hips back, causing another climax to wash over me as his thick, throbbing knot pressed against every perfect nerve inside my body.

“You’ll beg me for that, too.”

My eyes rolled back in my head from more than the pleasure threatening to overwhelm me. Who the fuck did this guy think he was?

“All omegas beg for that in heat. It’s not the same as consent negotiated beforehand.”

My argument would’ve held more weight if I hadn’t bit into his shoulder almost hard enough to break the skin as his cock swelled inside me, more of his seed spilling deep inside me. Even knowing I couldn’t get pregnant from this, the irresponsible lack of any protections sent a thrill through me.

“Good boy. Just a bit harder.”

Realising I was basically gnawing on him, I tore my mouth free, turning my face away from the tempting smooth skin pressed so close to me.

“I’m the one going into heat. You have to have the control. Aren’t you famed for being ice cold in the sheets?”

“Been gossiping about my sex life, sweetheart?” Alexei asked, his tongue sneaking out to trace the shell of my ear, sparking a full-body shiver.

“I’m serious, Alexei.” Real fear was starting to sneak in as my heat grew more intense. Why had I stepped foot into this apartment knowing what I knew about him? About what kind of Alpha he was. About the dominance he held over an entire criminal organisation and multiple corporations.

“I’ll do you a deal,” Alexei said, his voice sweet and cajoling like a siren about to lure me to slice myself open on shards of need and drown in the depths of my desire.

“I don’t trust you.”

Alexei smirked, reaching out to slide a finger along my lips. My tongue slipped out despite myself, lapping at the digit like a popsicle before sucking it into my mouth.

“I won’t give you a mating bite in this heat if you give me what’s mine when it’s done.”

My stomach would have roiled with anxiety if the omega in me wasn’t driving my body to grind up against his hard muscles as I clenched down around his cock. Sparks of pleasure were shooting across my body, distracting me from everything. I was quickly losing the ability to rationalise, and it wouldn’t be long before Alexei would be proven right and I’d be begging for his bite as well as his knot.

“What does that mean?”

“I’ll have your things moved into the penthouse tonight, and you’ll let me court you after.”

This was not a negotiation to have while tied to someone’s knot, mid-life-changing orgasms. What was I supposed to say to something so ridiculous?

“Whatever.”

“Good boy.” Wait. What?

Something inside me purred in delight, and I wanted to die from mortification. Right after I came from the delicious tension of the humiliation when I was impaled on his giant, swollen, too-impressive appendage.

Courting didn’t mean forever, right? I could let him buy me a present or two and feed me. Just until he lost interest, which was definitely going to happen. Alexei Vilcrest didn’t do forever. He didn’t even do more than one night. It would be fine. Everything was going to be fine. The Mafia boss was totally just going to let me go. Even if deep down I didn’t want him to.

“Stop thinking so loudly and come for me.”

Another orgasm rocked through my body just from his words, my cock jerking against his already soaked abs as it spurted milky-white cum all over him. Painting him in my scent. Claiming him so no one else would ever touch him again.

I was so fucked.

I had never been so well fucked. My hole was going to be aching when this heat finally receded, but right now it was positively buzzing. Wait. Was it literally buzzing?

“Shhh, baby. Open up and let me feed you something.”

After however many times he’d knotted me over the past who-knew-how-many hours, Alexei’s voice had an immediate calming effect on me. Prising my eyelids open, I blinked up at him, opening my mouth like a baby bird to accept the grape he was offering. The buzzing in my lower body didn’t stop.
