I wanted to throw caution to the wind. With all my pent-up emotions, a deep-seated need was growing inside me. I wanted these Alphas, and I was done denying myself. What was wrong with indulging a little? I was already heading down a slippery slope; maybe it was time for me to enjoy it.

“Remember the night of the pack flight? Well, Orsen, Nix, and I…” I trailed off.

His eyes widened, hands tightening around me. “Tell me more,” he insisted with a hungry look. We were both bent over the desk to reach one another, and I wanted to be closer to him.

“Orsen used his tongue on me, while Nix was ever so helpful,” I said, biting my lip. “Only, since then, I’ve wantedmore.We’re alone. There’s no melting ice cream, and I’ve been worked up for too damn long.”

I released Grey so I could circle his desk and meet him on the other side. As he turned to face me, I pressed myself against him, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him in close.

“Don’t leave me hanging, Greylen. Ineedyou.”

Grey’s eyes flared, but it was like I’d flipped a switch. He focused on me intently, yanking me against him as a low growl rumbled in his chest, one I could feel when we touched.

“You sure about that, Rowan?” He swept his fingers from my cheek to my hair, working through the strands in a way that immediately made me moan. “I’m more than happy to do whatever you want right now, but I also know that I’ve been dying for a taste of you again. I might not be what you’d callgentle. It’s been… a while.”

My heart thumped against my ribs, and I sucked in a shaky breath. Grey’s eyes sparkled. There was this thrumming energy between us, something invisible pulling me toward him. I’d felt safe with Grey every time we were together. He was a quiet,constant presence, one that felt deep yet surprisingly fast, like a river.

I nodded. “Please. I don’t want to resist this. I want you… I want you… to fuck me.”

Lightning fast, he pounced, his mouth claiming mine. That rumbling growl vibrated now, and I moaned against his lips as he went for my shirt, gathering up the fabric until he squeezed my breast, making me shiver. His fingers mapped my chest, softly, then firmer.

It wasn’t enough. Grabbing his hips, I turned us so he was backed up against his desk, then pushed him lightly.

“Lie down,” I instructed.

When he did what I asked without complaint, the sense of power it gave me was heady. My hands fisted in his shirt, yanking at the damn buttons, trying to get them loose. I loved the way he looked, but I wanted to touch him everywhere.

Grey, sensing my urgency, reached for the lapels of his shirt and tore the thing open before leaning up to roughly hoist my tee over my head, leaving me in just my bra.

I laughed against his mouth as he pulled me down and kissed me again. The impressive thickness of his erection pressed against me as I crawled onto the desk, my knees on either side of his hips.

Silently, I was thanking the gods that he had a big desk. More room foractivities.

“Well, so much for that shirt.” I giggled, the happiness bubbling in my chest impossible to ignore.

Laughing, Greylen grinned up at me, squeezing my breast again. “I’m a dragon, sweetheart. I go through shirts like it’s nothing.”

Smiling like an idiot, I crashed onto the desk with him, running my hands over Grey’s sculpted chest as I kissed him, using my other hand to find his pants and begin unbuttoningthem. I was driven by some aching force I hadn’t felt before, the need to have this incredible man inside me so strong that I felt like I was losing my mind. But I didn’t care.

I wanted Grey, and I wanted him immediately.

Getting his belt off, I flung it behind me, where it clattered onto the ground. Grey’s button and zipper came down easily, and I reached inside his pants, taking hold of him hurriedly.

Oh, holy shit.

What I circled my hand around would have most women cowering in the corner, but my coreclenched, clamping down on nothing at the thought of how he would feel. I was already wet, but that one touch sent my arousal into overdrive. Right at his base was that thicker ring of muscle I knew of but had never seen up close. Not that I could remember, anyway.

A knot.

It was hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I had fucked anyone before, because I didn’t remember it, but my hesitation had all vanished, replaced by desperate need. What was the point in being anxious?

“Rowan…” Grey groaned, his eyes rolling back as I stroked him, utterly fascinated by his impressive length. After my need was a little more sated, I was going to have to give it a closer investigation. “Goddamn, you feel incredible.”

Well, if that didn’t make me feel like a million bucks, I didn’t know what would. I smiled, sliding my hand up and down the long length of his shaft. Scooting back, I let my feet hit the floor, giving me an excellent view of the man spread out before me.

I leaned forward, blowing over the glistening tip as I stepped off the desk. With him still in hand, I worked his erection as I used my other hand to shove my pants down. I started with little teasing licks, rubbing my thumb across his opening. When I finally had my bottoms off, panties included, I took Grey into my mouth.

“Fuuuuck,” he hissed, his hands going to my hair, squeezing the roots as I sucked him, gently at first and then harder. His taste was musky, but also veryGrey, that bright, fresh scent that clung to him.
