Chapter 43
Aria
I quickly undo Jaxon’s pants and tug the edge of his boxers down. He’s definitely ready for me. I reach down and push my panties aside and cringe a little at how wet I am already. Ever since Noah and I bonded, it’s like when I’m turned on… it's a water park down there. I lift myself on my knees and move into place, hovering above him. His hands move to my hips, and he squeezes them but doesn’t push me down. I lean in and kiss him again. His lips part, and I slip my tongue between them as I slowly lower myself down on him. Our mouths break apart as I stretch around him. Almost in unison, we both let out a moan. Jaxon’s head drops back, and his hold on my hips gets even tighter, almost bruising.
When he’s fully inside me, I stop, close my eyes, and take a breath. I’m a bit sore after being with both Noah and Ezra in the space of just a couple of days. It’s not something I’m used to anymore, not for a long time.
Once I feel comfortable, I open my eyes and see Jaxon watching me. His face has turned a little red, and he’s sweating a little.
“Are you okay?” I whisper.
He smiles. “More than okay!” Then he leans in and kisses me.
This kiss is hungrier and deeper. It ignites heat between us, and I rise again. Then down. Sparks of both pain and pleasure build up inside me, and I can already feel myself coming. It feels so painfully good that I don’t know how long I can do this before I tighten around him. I need to be ready, so I break the kiss and tilt Jaxon’s head to one side. With his hands on my hips, he takes over lifting me up and down on him. He lets out another moan when I kiss the sensitive skin between his ear and shoulder. Then he starts to move me faster, and I feel the pleasure reaching that peak. I part my lips and then bite down hard. Jaxon cries out, but not in pain. My body locks around him, and I feel warmth as he comes inside me.
“Oh fuck…” Jaxon says this over and over.
His arms wrap around my waist as I release him, and his head drops to my shoulder. I can feel him pulsing and coming over and over.
“How long has it been?” I ask him as I start running my fingers through his hair.
“Way too long.” He says with a weak laugh.
I smile against his neck before kissing and licking the fresh bite mark. We stay quiet for a bit, just like this, and I feel this contentment that I’ve never felt before. It’s quickly followed by a playfulness that makes me smile. I can feel Jaxon. Inside my chest, I feel the threads connecting me to Noah and Ezra change. I have to stop myself from laughing because they each react in a different way to what has just happened. Ezra seems annoyed, but Noah seems…curious. Very curious.
“This is so weird,” Jaxon says. “I can feel them.”
He lifts his head and looks at me. “I’m yours now.”
Despite everything I’m feeling, I smile. “You are.”
He leans in and kisses me again. This kiss is slow and sweet…familiar. My body relaxes into it, and I start to loosen around him. He doesn’t move to make me get off him, though. Instead, one of his arms stays wrapped around me, and the other comes to cup my cheek. He tilts my head to deepen the kiss, but he keeps it gentle and slow.
A throat clearing behind me jerks me out of the moment like a bucket of cold water being dropped on top of me. Panic and embarrassment take over, and I quickly lift myself off Jaxon and drop onto the seat next to him. I adjust my clothes and run a few fingers through my hair to fix it.
“We’re almost there,” Roman says. “Two minutes.”
His voice sounds tight, and my face heats. Jaxon and I were not quiet, and in the moment I totally forgot we had an audience. Oh God, this is embarrassing! In the corner of my eye, I can see Jaxon fixing his pants, and I can feel his amusement through our new bond. I can’t resist turning my head to glare at him, which makes him bark out a laugh.
“Stop it.” I hiss at him.
He just smiles more. “Don’t be embarrassed, little Alpha; it isn’t the first time Roman has had to listen. Actually, he doesn’t mind watching either.”
“Jaxon!” Roman snaps. “That is hardly appropriate and completely untrue.”
“Mhm, so that time with-“ Jaxon doesn’t get to finish his sentence because Roman makes a sharp turn that sends Jaxon slamming into the door.
Jaxon curses. “What the fuck! Is it not enough I’ve been shot in the foot? Now you want to break my arm?”
“Sorry,” Roman says, not sounding the least bit sorry.
I’m a bit overwhelmed by all of this, and just decide to stay quiet. I don’t care about what the guys did before we met, so nothing Jaxon could have said would have bothered me. They don’t know anything about my past either. If they knew everything…
They never need to find out. I left all of that in the past when I came here, and it’s not a story I ever want to tell again. Xander and Daniel know little bits of what happened. Buck and Beth are the only ones who know everything, and once they knew, none of us ever spoke about it again. It took me years to get to the point where I wasn’t having nightmares every night.
Now that my mind has wandered to my old life, my stomach starts to churn. I hadn’t thought about it in a long time until recently. The last couple of days have started to provoke those memories.
My heart starts to race when a specific day starts to sneak into my mind. It was the day I moved into my new house. I’d been living in the center since I was sixteen, and I never thought I’d find a pack. Female Alphas are rare and not usually sought after. Male Alphas look at us like abominations. Packs that do have female Alphas are usually made up of her as the only Alpha and her Beta or Omega pack mates. So when a pack showed interest in me, it felt like the best day of my life. Not only did a pack want me, but it was a pack of Alphas. They were willing to look past the fact I wasn’t an Omega and accept me into their pack.
I thought I was joining a pack willing to look past what I was and accept me, but I was very wrong. They weren’t looking for someone to complete their pack. They were looking for a toy. That first night was one of the worst of my life. I should have run that first night.
