Aurora

A fit of dry coughing wakes me up from my deep slumber. Sitting up, I look around for some water and finally spot a bottle on the bedside table.

Before I can reach for it, Seth grabs it first.

“Drink up,” Seth says, opening the cap and handing me the bottle.

“Thanks,” I mutter, snatching the bottle from him. The water is cool and refreshing, relieving my parched throat. My coughing recedes, allowing me to take a deep breath.

Putting the bottle aside, I look up at Seth. He’s already fully dressed in a maroon plaid shirt and stone-washed denim. The casual attire makes him look like a lumberjack from the pages of a romance novel.

Warmth settles into his beautiful emerald-green eyes as he meets my gaze.

A flush spreads through my cheeks as I hurry to grab a sheet to cover myself.

Soft chuckles escape him as he looks away from me. Keeping his back turned toward me, he takes off his shirt and hands it to me. “You can use this for now.”

My heart beats rapidly in my chest as I snatch the shirt from him. Hurriedly putting it on, I wonder about the intense shyness that has come over me.

I’ve been paraded naked among strange men and then fucked before their eyes. After the first few times, I stopped caring completely. In those instances, I lost my individuality, realizing that I was no different from the other hundred captive omegas. They didn’t know who I was. To them, I was just a body to be used and discarded.

With a start, I realize that it’s different with Seth. As much as it disturbs me, heseesme for who I am.

“You need to eat,” Seth says, breaking me out of my thoughts. “I’ll go down and get your breakfast here.”

“There’s breakfast?”

“Of course, there’s breakfast,” he says with a chuckle that makes my heart beat a little faster. “However, I’m not letting you eat the way you ate last night. I don’t want you getting sick and throwing up again.”

“How do you know I got sick?”

“I stepped on the shirt you left on the bathroom floor,” he says, grinning.

“Eww,” I mutter, imagining him stepping on all that muck.

“Don’t be embarrassed,” he says, suddenly looking grim. “I’d rather step on puke than on a minefield.” Straightening up, he walks to the door and leaves the room.

Left alone, I think of the time I’ve spent with this strange alpha. Until now, he’s been unbelievably kind to me. I feel grateful to him but a part of me is still wary of him.

Instances from last night rise in my mind, sending tendrils of heat through me. Seth ate me out so thoroughly, I orgasmed until my slick was streaming down my thighs. His tongue played with my clit so hard, my whole body shook with tremors of pleasure.

My pussy pulses as I think of him. Even though my body is weak and aching, I feel the urge to run down to him and force him to take me again.

Last night was the first time someone ate me out. Even though I spent over a year with Jake, he never went down on me like that. He said only sissy beta males did that sort of thing. A real alpha would never demean himself like that.

A new side of Jake’s betrayal is revealed to me. He never bothered to offer me the same pleasure I gave him. He only took, never giving me anything.

Seth is a battle-hardened soldier. He’s built like a truck and can easily subdue a nerdy alpha like Jake. My heady perfume must’ve wreaked havoc on him but he never lost control. He made sure I was begging him to take me before taking any pleasure from me.

It’s only now that I realize a stranger cares more about my feelings than the man I’d chosen to be my mate.

“I was such a fucking idiot,” I curse at myself. Grabbing my hair, I pull until my scalp prickles from the pain.

I’d probably continue torturing myself but my stomach groans loudly, reminding me of the breakfast Seth promised. Excitement floods my body as I get off the bed and hurry into the bathroom.

I quickly finish my business before moving to the sink to wash my hands. That’s when I get a glimpse of my face in the mirror beside it.
