“I lived with a human,” she said. “And....”
She debated just how much to tell Rick. Part of her wanted to keep all of her history hidden, the life she’d led before it all came crashing to a sudden halt. But another part of her knew that just like keeping her omega nature hidden from the shifters in the city, it was just as pointless to hide her past from Rick and the other guys.
“And...?” he asked.
“I did everything I could to hide who I was, what I was,” she said. “And Boyd –that was his name− was one of those guys who was so busy with work that he didn’t really care much about where I’d come from. We ran in human circles, and I guess I just managed to convince myself that I could pretend I was human.”
“Then what?”
“Then I saw you three at the bar the other night.”
Jessie felt herself go tense at the mention of seeing them there. But tense in a very, very good way. She could easily imagine herself back at the bar that night, their three pairs of eyes locked onto her, sly, sensual smirks on their faces.
“And what happened then?” asked Rick.
He poured another shot for her. Jessie regarded it for a moment, realizing that it would likely push her from “buzzed” to “tipsy.” And whatever else might happen after that, she couldn’t say.
But she realized that was what she wanted. She took the drink and tossed it back. It burned like before, though not as much.
“I...I realized that I could try to run from who I was as long as I wanted, but there was no getting away from it. All it took was seeing you three there, feeling that pull that only alphas could have, and I knew that all my hiding wasn’t good for a damn thing. I was a dragon, and that’s all there is to it.”
Rick smirked.
“Then you looked for a new job and there we were again, in your life one more time.”
“Yep,” said Jessie. “I don’t know if I believe in fate and all that stuff, but it was like I was being sent a message.”
“And what was that message?”
Rick poured himself another shot, downed it, and then poured one for Jessie. Her eyes flicked from the shot to Rick and then back again.
Jessie felt a pull toward Rick, one that she’d noticed the moment they were alone together. He was an alpha, and she an omega. A pairing like them was meant to be in the shifter world. Even while simply sitting there with Rick on the balcony like that her body seemed to cry out for him.
She didn’t know for how much longer she could resist.
“The message was...that it was meant to be.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,” she said. “But when I saw your girls, I was confused.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because it meant you’d already claimed an omega. Even if she was gone, you’d still found what you all had been looking for as alphas.”
“Then how do you explain what we feel right now?”
Jessie’s eyes went wide. She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard him say.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“I think you know exactly what I mean,” said Rick.
Jessie felt her face flush, her heart beating faster and faster.
“Stand up,” said Rick.
A command from an alpha was almost impossible for an omega like her to resist. Not because Jessie didn’t have control over herself and the ability to make her own decisions, but because there was nothing more compelling, nothing more sexual.
She did as Rick asked, standing up. Her heart pounded, her skin tingled, and her pussy clenched. Just a look, just a word, just a touch, was enough to make an omega like her go wild.
And she was beginning to get the impression that Rick wanted more than to do just those things.
Rick stood up and slowly walked over to Jessie. Once he was close, he looked her up and down slowly. She felt strange under his gaze, tense and aroused and flushed all at once.
He moved close to her until his body was only a few inches away from hers.
“Tell me how you feel right now,” he said, his voice low and sensual.
“I feel...I feel like I’ve never felt before,” she said.
It was the truth. She’d only been with human men before, and none of them had ever come close to making her feel the way she felt in that moment.
She realized why she’d been told to stay away alphas – only they could cast such a spell on her, one she couldn’t hope to resist.
“And...how do you feel right now?” she asked.
Jessie knew the answer from the way he looked at her, his eyes narrowed like a hunter’s and hungry.
“I feel like I can’t pretend I can resist you any longer,” he said.
Jessie took in a sharp gasp of air, then chewed softly on her lower lip.
She felt torn in two. Part of her wanted to run back inside, to put as much distance between her and the temptation as possible.
But the other wanted to give in.
She turned toward Rick just in time to see him make the decision for her by kissing her hard on the lips.
She was ready to surrender.
CHAPTER 11
JESSIE
She fell into Rick’s kiss instantly. A rush of hot energy ran through her body, pulsing against her skin and driving her wild. Jessie felt like she’d just taken the sweetest drug, one that seemed specially made for her body and hers alone.
Rick continued to kiss her hard, his tongue moving past her full, wet lips, his taste flooding her mouth. And the taste...it was like nothing else – like biting into the ripest fruit. The sexual energy running through her was so intense that she felt like she might come apart at the seams.
“Wait,” she said, pulling her lips away from Rick’s.
Rick looked down on her, a curious expression on his face.
“What is it?” he asked.
“What...what is this going to mean?” she asked. “You’re an alpha, I’m an omega. And you’re also, you know, my boss.”
Jessie realized as she spoke the words that it was her brain trying one last time to get her to think about what she was doing. But down below, her pussy wanted nothing more than Rick’s cock inside of it, damn the consequences.
“This is a one-time thing,” he said. “I’m going crazy just being around you, and I know you feel the same way.”
Jessie bit down on her lip and nodded. He was right. And being in his thick, tattooed arms only made her more certain of how badly she wanted him.
“We can fuck and that’s it,” he said. “If that’s what you want.”
She knew he was giving her an out. If she wanted to put a stop to this right now, this was her chance.
“So,” he said, his hands on her bare upper arms. “Tell me what you want.”
“I...I want you.”
Rick didn’t need to hear another word. His lips locked onto hers and she fell right back into the kiss.
Now that Jessie had spoken the words and made her desire real, she felt her body surrender to Rick. She was an omega ready for her alpha, and each second that he wasn’t of top of her, inside of her, making her his, was a moment that was totally intolerable.
They kissed deeply and passionately until Rick took his lips from hers.
“We need to go inside,” he said.
Jessie nodded, not saying a word.
Rick took her by the hand and led her back inside the apartment and down the hallway on the other side of the living room that led to her bedroom. Her heart raced as he took her by the hand, and she was in the grips of such a thrill that she could hardly think straight.
Rick stopped in front of one of the doors and threw it open, revealing a bedroom decorated in dark colors, posters of heavy metal bands on the wall and guitars and other musical equipment here and there.
But Jessie wasn’t interested in music, and neither was Rick.
He slipped his arm under Jessie’s ass and lifted her off her feet, bringing her over to the bed. Once h
e stood at the side of it, he tossed her onto the mattress, her hair splaying out around her face as she fell.
Rick loomed over her with the hungry, fierce expression that marked him as an alpha. The need between them was so intense that Jessie could almost feel it in the air. He reached down and grabbed her shoes, pulling them off one-by-one, followed by her socks. Jessie hated her clothes at that moment, wishing they were off her so she could be that much closer to Rick.
She shimmied out of her jeans and pulled her shirt off over her head, leaving her in nothing but a pair of white panties and a matching bra. Rick eyed her with a ravenous expression, his gaze moving over every inch of her. Jessie glanced down at his pants, where his erection strained against the denim of his jeans.
“You next,” she moaned, extending a finger to Rick’s body.
A smirk formed on his face as he reached down and grabbed onto the bottom of his shirt. He pulled it off, revealing a hard, sculpted upper body that was covered in intricate tattoos, just like she’d imagined it to be in her fantasies.
He stepped out of his boots and lunged on top of her, lavishing her body with kisses as he reached around to take off her bra. Rick yanked it off her body and tossed it aside, revealing her full, pink-nipple-tipped breasts.
Rick pounced on her tits, taking one nipple into his mouth and then the other, his red beard brushing against her chest and sending tingles up her body. Jessie’s nipples went hard in his mouth, and she sighed and ran her hands through his thick, fire-red hair.
“Goddamn, you taste so fucking good,” he said, taking his mouth from her nipples. “Makes me wonder how the rest of you tastes.”
“Why don’t you find out?” Jessie asked.
By now, her pussy was on fire with sexual wanting. Jessie had always been a more sexually reserved girl, and had assumed that this was just who she was. But being here with Rick, a true alpha, had unlocked a side of her that she didn’t know existed. Desire consumed her, and all she wanted was him and his cock.
Rick answered her question with another one of his sexy smirks. He placed his hands on her stomach and moved them down slowly, savoring the curves of her hips. Once he reached her panties, he quickly pulled them down her bare, smooth legs, leaving her totally naked.
“Fuck,” he said, taking in the sight of Jessie fully nude. “You’re so goddamn gorgeous I can hardly stand it.”
“Less talking,” purred Jessie. “More tasting.”
Rick let out a quick bark of a laugh.
“What the lady wants, the lady gets.”
With that, he grabbed her ankles and spread her legs apart, her pussy now bare in front of him. Rick positioned himself between her legs, his head only inches away from her cunt.
“You smell so fucking good,” he growled. “I’ve wanted to eat you alive, lick up all your juices.”
“Then do it,” Jessie moaned. “I want it so fucking badly.”
When Rick finally touched her pussy, Jessie felt as though she might melt. He spread her lips open, slipping a pair of fingers inside of her, Jessie’s cunt gripped him hard.
“Ohhh...fuck,” she moaned, closing her eyes and focusing on the feeling.
He fingered her for several moments, getting her slick and wet. Then, when she was totally turned on, he began to lick her. His tongue was warm and wet, and he focused all of his attention on her clit, just how she wanted.
Her legs squeezed onto his head, her shapely thighs keeping him in place as his tongue thrashed over her pussy, each slow drag of his tongue sending a fresh wave of pleasure through her body.
An orgasm built in her faster than it had ever happened in her life. Rick’s tongue in the perfect position, Jessie held his head in place, guiding him right where she wanted him. The sounds of his lapping tongue filled the room, and it didn’t take long before her first orgasm was on the brink of eruption.
When it finally did, Jessie had to use all the restraint she had not to scream loud enough for the entire city to hear her. Hot, pulsing waves crashed through her body, Rick continuing to lick and suck her clit through her pleasure.
The orgasm faded, and Jessie was instantly ready for another. But this time, she’d need more than his tongue and fingers.
Rick raised up from between Jessie’s legs, his mouth glistening with her arousal.
“Pants off,” she said. “Now.”
Another bark of a laugh.
“Yes, ma’am,” he said.
He quickly undid the button of his jeans, followed by the zipper. With a fast motion, he was naked.
Jessie gasped as she laid eyes on his prick. It was long and thick and dripping, so gorgeous and tempting that just the sight of it almost brought her to another orgasm.
“I need that inside of me,” she moaned. “Right fucking now.”
Rick answered her demand with a quick dive between her legs, positioning his cock right over her soaking wet cunt and his thick, powerful body right above hers.
He lower his hips, and Jessie reached down and grabbed his cock, wrapping her fingers around its thick length. It was warm and hard in her hand, and she stroked it as she guided it down to her sex.
His head split open her lips, the penetration so wonderful that all Jessie could do was sigh. She cursed herself for going so long without knowing the pleasure of being fucked by an alpha – it was like discovering a new sense.
Soon, he was fully buried in her, Jessie’s pussy stretching out to accommodate his prick. Once she’d had a moment to get used to his size, he quickly began thrusting in and out of her, filling her up over and over again.
“Holy shit,” she sighed. “Holy shit.”
“You like that cock in you?” he growled as he fucked her harder and harder.
“Yes,” she said. “It’s like heaven.”
“You’re mine,” he said. “Right now, you’re my little omega.”
His words ignited something in her, a part of her that she didn’t know was even there. The bond between an omega and alpha was always something she’d known was powerful, but she wasn’t ready for just how strong it was.
Rick drover in her over and over again, her breasts now bouncing wildly with each thrust. She grabbed onto his back, digging her nails into the thick muscles of his shoulders. Another orgasm drew closer and closer, and before too long, she was right on the brink.
“Fill me with your cum,” she moaned. “I need it; I need it so fucking badly.”
Jessie knew that this was a dangerous game, but she didn’t care. She needed the claim of an alpha, and she needed it right then.
Right in the middle of a flurry of thrusts, another orgasm ripped through her body. Jessie couldn’t help but scream with delight, pleasure shooting through her.
Rick let out a grunt of his own, and Jessie soon felt the hot explosion of his cock erupting inside of her. They both came long and hard, their bodies seeming to melt into one as the orgasms ran through them.
When they finally faded, Rick pulled out and collapsed at Jessie’s side, both of their chests rising and falling.
Jessie realized she’d finally been claimed. But despite the joy this instilled in her, she could only think of one thing – that only one alpha just wouldn’t do.
CHAPTER 12
SAMUEL
The blare of the fire alarm cut through the station, snapping Samuel out of his daze.
“There it is!” called out Samuel.
He glanced over at Jonas, who had been lounging on the bed next to him, drawing in a sketchbook. Samuel dropped the book he’d been reading and jumped to his feet.
“You ready to move?” he asked Jonas.
“Always,” Jonas said.
They ran out of the station barracks, the rest of the station bustling with activity as the crew reacted to the sounds of the alarm.
“What’s the job?” called out Samuel to one of his fellow firemen.
“Some place on Flatlands!” the man shouted back. “Major shit! People trapped in there!”
&n
bsp; “Fuck,” hissed Samuel.
“Too bad we can’t just shift and fly over there,” said Jonas.
“You know how it is,” said Samuel. “Save the shifter stuff for when they can’t see us.”
“Yeah, yeah,” said Jonas.
The two of them made their way down to the garage. Once there, they pulled open their lockers and grabbed their gear. The rest of the station crew was already climbing onto the two trucks.
Samuel always grinned as he put on his gear. A dragon shifter like him could step right into the most intense chemical fire imaginable and walk out without a single singe. All the bulky gear for him and Jonas was just for show.
Once they were geared up, they climbed into their assigned truck. Samuel took position behind the wheel and Jonas right next to him, the rest of the crew piled onto the truck.
“Ready?” asked Samuel.
“Always,” said Jonas with a grin.
Samuel gunned the engine and they were off. He took the truck out onto the Brooklyn street, the siren blaring and the other truck following close behind.
Samuel and the other alphas had been on dozens of jobs like this before, but he never got tired of the thrill of going out. Anything could happen on the job, and he knew that with his special skills, he was almost made to be a fireman. Sure, other shifters thought working with humans like this was beneath dragons, especially alphas like them, but Samuel didn’t care.
As far as he was concerned, it was the best way he could actually do some direct good in the city. And after what had happened to his and Jonas’ and Rick’s mate, their girls’ mother, he swore that he’d do whatever he could to prevent the same from happening to anyone else, shifter or not.
Samuel pulled a turn onto Flatlands so hard he almost felt as though the wheels had raised up from the street.
“Damn!” shouted Jonas. “Let’s try not to crash this thing on the way there!”
“I know what I’m doing,” said Samuel with a grin. “Just keeping you on your toes.”
Once they made the turn onto the road, Samuel caught sight of the fire far up ahead. A bright orange blaze cut through the night air, and Samuel could already tell it was a rager. Cars on the road quickly moved out of the way as Samuel brought the truck closer and closer to the fire.
