Chapter 196
[Alex's POV]

God, she's beautiful.

The moonlight caught in Amelia's silver-gray eyes, turning them luminous with unshed tears. The fireworks had faded from the sky, but the golden sparks in her gaze burned brighter than any display I could have arranged. When I'd whispered those three words – words I'd never said to anyone – I'd felt something fundamental shift inside my chest.

But before I could speak, Amelia launched herself into my arms.

Her lips crashed against mine with a desperate hunger that stole my breath. This wasn't the careful, hesitant kiss of our early days. This was pure need, raw emotion poured into the connection between us. Her hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me closer as if she could somehow merge us into one being.

I groaned against her mouth, my arms wrapping around her waist to lift her off the ground. She was so damn small, so perfectly fitted against my chest. The familiar pine and vanilla scent of her hair mixed with something darker.

"Alex," she breathed when we finally broke apart, her forehead resting against mine. "I love you too. So much it scares me."

The admission hit me like a physical blow.

Take her. Now. Make her ours completely.

I forced myself to gentle my grip, even as every instinct screamed at me to claim her properly under the full moon. "Millie..."

"We should go home," she whispered, her voice breathy and uncertain. "Shouldn't we?"

Home. The word should have made sense, but standing here with my mate in my arms, feeling the pull of the moon overhead and seeing the way her pupils had dilated with want – home felt very far away.

Instead, I turned toward my car, carrying her with me. The black luxury sedan waited in the circular drive, its tinted windows reflecting the moonlight like dark mirrors.

"Alex?" Amelia's voice was smaller now, confused but tinged with anticipation.

I didn't answer with words. Instead, I opened the rear door and settled her gently on the spacious leather seats before sliding in beside her. The door closed with a soft click, sealing us into our private world.

"What are you doing?" she asked, but her voice held want rather than protest.

I studied her face in the dim light filtering through the sunroof. Her silver-gray hair was slightly mussed from our kiss, her lips swollen and pink. The simple dress she'd worn to the filming hung loosely around her shoulders, and I could see the rapid flutter of her pulse at the base of her throat.

My cock was already hardening in my jeans just from looking at her like this.

"I'm going to touch you," I said simply, my voice rougher than I'd intended. "Unless you tell me to stop."

Her breath hitched. "Alex..."

But she didn't say stop. Instead, she shifted on the seat, unconsciously parting her thighs. The movement sent another wave of her scent washing over me, and I had to grip the edge of the seat to keep from losing control entirely.

Moving slowly, I positioned myself between her legs, my hands finding the hem of her dress. The fabric was soft under my fingers, but not nearly as soft as the skin of her thighs when I pushed it higher.

"Oh," she gasped, her hands flying to my shoulders.

"Lie down," I murmured, my voice thick with Alpha command. "Unless you think you can stay sitting while I do what I want to do to you."

She obeyed without hesitation, her silver-gray eyes never leaving mine as she reclined against the leather. The trust in her gaze was humbling and arousing in equal measure.

I settled more comfortably between her thighs, my large hands spanning her legs and spreading them wider. My thumbs traced circles on her inner thighs, feeling her skin heat under my touch.

"Ah..." she whimpered, her hips shifting restlessly.

"You're always so quick to get wet for me," I observed, my fingers finding the edge of her panties. The fabric was already damp with her arousal. "Can you feel how much your body wants me?"

"Alex... please..." she breathed, her back arching slightly.

I hooked my fingers in the waistband and slowly drew her panties down her legs, revealing her completely. The scent of her arousal hit me like a physical force – sweet and musky and purely hers. My cock throbbed painfully against the zipper of my jeans.

"God, look at you," I growled, my eyes drinking in the sight of her glistening pussy. Her lips were already swollen and pink, slick with desire. "So beautiful. So ready for me."

When I touched her properly for the first time tonight, dragging one finger through her wet folds, she cried out and bucked against my hand.

"You're soaking," I breathed, circling her clit with deliberate slowness. "Were you thinking about this while I was telling you I loved you?"

"Alex..." Her voice was barely a whisper, her hips rolling against my touch.

I could feel how swollen her clit was under my fingertip, how it pulsed with each stroke. Her inner lips were soft and slick, parting easily as I explored her.

"Tell me what you want," I commanded softly, pressing two fingers against her entrance but not pushing inside yet.

"I want... oh god... I want you inside me," she gasped. "Your fingers, your cock, I don't care. I just need you."

Perfect, Liam purred in satisfaction. Our Omega knows what she needs.

I pushed two fingers deep inside her tight heat, feeling her inner walls clench around me immediately. She was so incredibly wet, so hot and soft inside.

"Fuck," I groaned, working my fingers deeper. "You feel amazing."

"Alex!" she screamed as I found that spot inside her that made her see stars. Her pussy clenched rhythmically around my fingers as the orgasm took her, her entire body shaking with the force of it.

I worked her through it, my fingers gentling as the waves subsided. But even as she came down from the high, I could see the desperate need still burning in her eyes.

"More," she whispered, reaching for my belt with trembling hands. "Alex, I need more. I need your cock inside me."

The raw desperation in her voice nearly undid me. I quickly freed myself from my jeans, my hard length springing free. The head was already slick with precum, the shaft thick and heavy in my hand.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked, positioning myself at her entrance. "Here, like this?"

Her smile was radiant despite her flushed, desperate state. "I need you so badly I can't think straight. Please."

I pressed the button that darkened all the windows to complete privacy mode, then began to push forward slowly. The head of my cock stretched her entrance, making us both groan as I worked my way inside her tight pussy.

"So fucking tight," I growled, fighting the urge to slam forward and bury myself completely. "Taking my cock so well."

"Oh god, Alex," she moaned as I filled her inch by inch. "You're so big..."

When I was finally seated fully inside her, we both stilled for a moment. She felt incredible around me – hot and wet and perfectly tight, her inner walls pulsing around my length.
