Chapter Seventeen
Parker kissed Brandon softly before the other man said his goodbyes and went to visit Brie. Now that Brandon seemed somewhat whole, he wanted to ensure that he was fulfilling his Omega duties to the fullest. Parker, however, was still worried about the ward flares. At least other people knew about them now, and Brandon wouldn’t be alone if something happened.
Still, the worries going through Parker’s mind kept wrapping over and under one another, combining into this giant ball of anxiety that he wasn’t sure he knew how to overcome.
Then Avery put her hand on his chest, and he could breathe again.
Goddess, he’d never known he could love someone as much and as deeply as he did her and Brandon. He might have gone through hell to get here, but he would never take his love for Avery and Brandon for granted. Their mating bond flared, and he knew Avery was thinking of him, too.
The world might be ending, but in this room, with this woman, he was one damned lucky wolf.
He looked down at her, her eyes wolf and her lips parted. “You’re so beautiful.”
She snorted, and he fell more in love with her. “You’re crazy. I just finished training with you and Brandon, and I have sweat in places I don’t want to think about. Plus, I don’t think I’ve washed my hair in like four days since Ryder and Mitchell want me to read all the books about our history since I’m now a maternal dominant. I’m going a little stir crazy too because I can’t leave the den, and I haven’t even been here a fraction as long as most of you guys. So, yeah, I don’t know what you’re smoking to think I’m beautiful right now, but…thank you.”
He kissed her hard to shut her up, loving the way she growled into his lips. When he pulled away, they were both panting. “You’re beautiful no matter how much gunk you have in your hair.”
He sent a wave of love through the mating bond even as she punched him in the arm for his words. She pulled back, her eyes wide.
“I felt that.”
He lowered his head, taking her lips again. “Want to feel something else?”
She threw her head back and laughed. “That was such a cheesy line.” She paused. “But I still want to do you, so the line must have worked.” She kissed him hard, and he wrapped his arms around her. “I want to forget about the world for just a little while, can you do that?”
He palmed her ass, giving it a squeeze. “I can do that, mate of mine. I can do that.”
She kissed him hard, and he somehow made it back to the bedroom, wanting more space so he could splay her out and have his way with her. He quickly stripped off her clothes, needing her naked flesh under his touch. When she reached between them to help him strip, he let her tug and pull, laughing with her when the fabric tore.
“Still not used to your strength?” he teased.
She bit his shoulder, and his wolf howled. “You mean you don’t think I could have done that before when I was human?”
Parker kissed her again, molding her breasts with his hands. She arched into him, letting out a gasp of surprise when he pinched her nipples with more force than he usually gave her. Instead of pulling away, she pressed closer to him.
“I don’t know what you did as a human, but I don’t care at the moment since my dick is about to sink into your wet heat. You want it hard, Avery? You want me to fuck you hard right into the mattress so you’re screaming my name as you come and milk my dick?”
She reached between them and stroked him. He thrust into her hold, wanting more. “Make it as hard as you want, Parker. Show me what you’ve got.”
He grinned, and he knew from the way her eyes widened, he looked feral. “Good.”
He picked her up and tossed her on the bed in a blink before moving so he straddled her upside down. Parker licked between her legs, and Avery started sucking his cock at the same time, causing both of them to moan and yet not lose their rhythm.
He hummed against her clit even as he used his fingers to spear her. He kept his hips steady, though, letting her control how she wanted to use her mouth since this position could end up hurting them both.
When her hips started to come off the bed, he pinned her down and growled against her clit, biting down right after.
“Parker!”
She came on his face, and he licked her up, needing to know once again what she tasted like when she climaxed. Before she could start sucking him again, however, he slid off her and padded around to the edge of the bed.
“Flip over, babe.”
She gave him a lazy look and started to roll over onto her stomach.
“Taking too long. Need to be in you.” He gripped her by the hips and made sure she was on her stomach before pulling her down to the edge of the bed.
“Holy fuck, impatient much?” She shot him a look over her shoulder, but laughter danced in her eyes.
“Your pussy is wet and empty, and my dick needs to get inside you. So, yeah, I’m kind of impatient. Now get that ass in the air, and keep your face on the mattress, baby. I told you I was going to fuck you hard.”
She practically purred and shook her hips as she lifted her butt. He gripped those hips of hers with a punishing hold and slammed into her in the next instant.
“Holy shit,” she breathed. “A little warning next time.”
He smacked her ass. “You got your warning, wolf of mine. And you liked it. I can feel you clenching my cock right now.”
“Shit,” she repeated but pressed back into him so her curves were flush with his hips.
“Now, hold on, Avery.”
“If you say it’s gonna be a bumpy ride, I’m gonna choke,” she teased.
“Can’t choke without my cock in your mouth.” They both laughed, and he fell that much more in love with her. Sex was supposed to be fun. Yeah, it was also sexy and sweaty and full of countless other emotions he couldn’t name, but without the pleasure that came with making someone you love smile, it just wasn’t the same.
A grin still on their lips, he pulled out of her before slamming back home. She groaned along with him, her hands fisting on the bedspread. He pistoned into her, his body shaking as his moves became more aggressive, his wolf rising to the forefront. When he put one foot on the edge of the bed to get a deeper angle, Avery began to move with him, meeting him thrust for thrust.
“I need to see your face,” he growled after she came yet again.
He pulled out of her and flipped her onto her back so her legs were draped over his shoulders, and his hands were still on her hips. When he entered her again, she arched her back, playing with her nipples.
“That’s it, Avery. Play with yourself. Imagine they’re my hands.” He grinned wickedly. “Imagine they’re Brandon’s.”
At that image, they both screamed, coming hard as one. He pulled out of her soon after and wrapped his arms around her as he fell back onto the bed, trying to catch his breath.
“We need to do that again,” she teased. “Over and over. Because I never knew laughing during sex could be such a turn-on.”
He shook his head and kissed her lazily. “You’re only to laugh at jokes, Avery girl. Just saying.”
She rolled her eyes. “You make me happy, Parker. You and Brandon.” They both sobered, and he played with her hair, needing to touch her in even the smallest of ways. “I know it’s going to get scarier, and I feel like something’s coming that’s going to change everything, but you and Brandon make me so happy. I don’t want to lose that.”
He held her close as their bodies cooled and their wolves slumbered. “We won’t,” he promised, his mate drifting off in his arms. “We won’t.”
He just hoped he hadn’t lied.
