Chapter 44

^SIX HOURS INTO HEAT^

After our bonding, it took a while for Ace’s knot to deflate, but as soon as it did, my heat raged to an all-time high.

My stomach cramped without the feel of him filling me, and my renewed desperation refueled his desire for me once more.

Hours passed during which Ace took me in all the ways we both wanted and needed. His strong hands maneuvered my form into countless positions, offering me no rest from the way he made my body sing.

Not that I wanted to rest. Any time his hands weren’t on me, my whine called for him, feeding into his own need to sate my every desire.

The sun was rising by the time we finally started to slow down, and Ace pulled his newly deflated knot from me.

I expected him to start fucking me again, but instead, he knelt between my spread legs with his still-hard cock in his hand, rubbing it up and down while he stared down at my body.

“What are you doing?” I sat up on my elbows and reached for him, hoping to pull him back to me. A small cramp formed in my stomach, causing me to wince and keen.

Ace’s black eyes snapped up to my face, and his lips pulled back to bare his teeth in warning.

~Does he think I’m moving away from him?~

Since he was still overcome by his rut, he was still being controlled by his instincts. And at that moment, his instincts were telling him to dominate and claim—to force submission if he had to.

Maybe I should have been freaked out—maybe even a little angry—but I ~wanted~ to submit. I wanted him to dominate me. I wanted to please him.

I didn’t feel overpowered or scared. I was giving in to everything my biology was demanding of me during the heat, and it felt absolutely ~wonderful~.

I dropped my hand to my side and tilted my head to show him the spot where he marked me. The act of submission pacified and pleased him to the point that he threw his head back and groaned.

His cum shot over my stomach and breasts, on my neck and arms. He squeezed the base of his cock where his throbbing knot was half-formed and let out a stream that painted my body.

When he was done, he laid down next to me. He rubbed his cum into my skin with his huge hands, infusing me with the scent of his release, while he hungrily kissed my lips.

He scooped up some of the excess from my stomach with two fingers and pushed them into my already leaking pussy, fucking me with the digits until I was brought to a mind-numbing orgasm.

Then he massaged any of our mixed fluids that seeped out of me against my clit until I was once again flying over the edge.

I got the sense that he liked to watch me writhe and arch against the sheets, knowing that it was him who was in control of my pleasure and bliss.

When he was satisfied that my body was sufficiently covered with his release, he flipped me over onto my stomach, spread my legs, and then thrust into me once more.

^FOUR DAYS INTO HEAT^

I fell on top of Ace with a gasp, completely out of breath, but so unbelievably satisfied.

I had just spent the last twenty minutes riding my mate’s glorious cock until he finally punched his hips up and filled me with his knot for what felt like the millionth time that day.

It was the first time he had let me be on top since my heat started. Ace was a male werewolf in full rut, which meant his instincts were demanding he dominate and breed.

But it seemed as though I had exhausted my big, bad alpha—a feat I hadn’t known was even possible. Ace had the stamina of a racehorse and the sexual appetite of rabbits during mating season.

I was tired too—a bone-deep sort of tired. It had been over twenty-four hours since I last slept.

But I couldn’t stop. I needed him. I needed him like I needed air. Every time his magnificent knot deflated and slid out of me, the pain started anew.

“Wow,” I said, sighing against his skin.

“You’re a fucking goddess,” Ace growled, licking the side of my sweaty temple.

Needing to see his face, I sat up, straddling him so his length remained lodged deep inside of me. Ace wore a pleased expression, lazily appraising me in a way that made my core tingle.

I loved that he could still look at me like that, with so much love.

Even though my hair was a mess and I was covered in sweat. Even though he had been fucking me for the last several days. Even though I was already his, now and forever.

“Being in heat is fun,” I giggled as I rolled my hips over his.

Ace hissed, his hands flying down to grip my body. “My knot is too fucking sensitive for that right now, mate. I need you to stay still.”

My smile broadened. I placed my hands over his and started to roll my hips once again, this time slower. “What if I move like this? Is it still too sensitive?”

Ace groaned and used his grip on me to guide my motions so my clit was grinding against his pelvis.

“~Fuck~, you’re squeezing my knot so fucking hard, baby,” Ace spoke through gritted teeth. “You’re going to make me cum.”

I gasped and shuddered above him. “You can cum again after you’ve already knotted me?”

Ace’s hips started to buck, his body jerking up against me again, and again, and again. “Apparently,” he grunted.

This was ~incredible~ news. I could keep his knot inside of me for as long as I wanted.

Already, I could feel his knot growing and expanding inside of me once again as he prepared to release.

“I want you to cum again,” I said, moving my hips faster.

Ace’s grip turned punishing. Soon, I could feel him twitching deep inside me, that wonderful knot of his just barely moving, pulling and tugging at the lips of my opening.

“Ace. Don’t stop. ~Yes.~ Please, please, please,” I mewled, shifting on top of him.

My toes curled and my back bowed as he rocked against the nerves around his knot, building up a tingle of pleasure that grew and grew until I could hardly stand it.

My orgasm washed over me, not a wave, but a ~flood~, long and slow, ebbing and flowing, as I milked the rounded piece of flesh at the end of Ace’s cock once more.

“Fuck ~yesss~,” Ace moaned.

It took all my effort to keep from throwing my head back so I could watch him below me. With his eyes on my bouncing tits, his knot grew to be bigger than I had ever felt it before.

Then another load of his cum spread out inside me, mixing with the last and filling me with gooey warmth.

I collapsed on top of him, lost in an orgasmic bliss that made the world around me hazy.

And the omega in me took over as I clamped my teeth down on his upper arm, near his shoulder.

Ace snarled and jerked his hips up once more, spurting inside me one last time before he finally stilled.

His knot was absolutely enormous between my inner walls. The feeling of him stretching me so fully was almost painful but also so, so addictive. I didn’t ever want it to deflate.

I wished we could stay connected forever.

Ace growled, the sound low and filled with pleasure, and then he wrapped his massive arms around me, his fingers playing with the damp hair along my spine. “A goddess,” he murmured once more.

My eyes fluttered, and I smiled against his sweaty skin. “That was fun. Let’s do it again.”

Ace groaned. “You’re insatiable.”

I had already begun to sit up, preparing for round two—or thirty, I’d lost track—when Ace grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me back down to his chest.

He wrapped his arms so tightly around me that I had no choice but to stay in place.

“No,” my mate stated. “You’re going to stay right here, just like this, and we’re both going to sleep. You need to rest if we want to keep going.”

I hummed and kissed the spot where I bit him, which was quickly turning purple from my dull teeth. A deep sense of satisfaction settled in my stomach at the sight. “I want to keep going.”

“No.” He squeezed my ass roughly, which only made me squeal in delight. “My wolf is going to lose his mind if you don’t rest. He’s accusing me of not caring for my mate.

“Are you okay with my wolf calling me a bad mate?”

I pouted and shook my head. That was the last thing I wanted. “No. You’re a good mate.”

“I’m glad you think so. So far, you’ve only been able to close your eyes after I knot you, and since I technically just knotted you twice, getting some sleep shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

He was right.

Even with all the pleasure Ace had given me so far, I had been unable to sleep without him being locked inside me.

Every time his knot deflated, I would wake and whine, unable to settle until Ace dragged me back against his chest and impaled me again.

While entering me slowly each time, he’d whisper words of loving praise in my ear while he played with my nipples and clit.

Eventually, I pushed my face into the crook of his neck and yawned. I supposed I was pretty tired. And with his cock buried so deeply between my legs, it was becoming hard to think.

Ace’s soothing purrs thickened until I was drowning in the reverberating sound. He massaged and caressed my back with his strong hands, and I started to drift off.
