“She wants it, needs it. You can see that. Look at her!”

“She hasn’t given her consent!”

“But…”

Suddenly, I was agonisingly empty, the cool air rushing in to all the places where Aidan had been, but hands grabbed me, turned me over, and laid me down on the bed.

“Fucking hell, Aidan! That is a privilege, not a right. She has to decide to take you, decide to bite you, to accept you into her heart and…”

“And?” Aidan bit back, but when I opened my eyes and rolled over, I saw that anger and pain warred within him, then pain won out. “I didn’t mean… She just…” His eyes met mine, glowing like the full moon in the sky. “I wasn’t trying to force you. You just felt so good, so hot, and I…I let my instincts get the better of me.”

But I wasn’t hearing much of that as I shifted on the bed. I’d been so close to something, but what was it? I’d been lying there, my body still wrapping me tight in the afterglow of the pleasure I’d been experiencing, but that had been yanked away.

“Baby…” My shoulders were lifted up, and I ended across Mason’s lap, his hand smoothing down my torso. “You’re still needing?”

The question was gentle but somehow hit me like a ton of bricks. I squirmed on the bed, feeling it now, that ache Aidan had teased to life but not appeased. Mason’s eyes flicked up, hardening as he took in Aidan.

“She gave you this, something precious. An opportunity to just experience without consequences, and you tried to make it something else.”

“There was no fucking trying! You said yourself, you can’t hold back from her. I could feel her sucking me in deeper—”

“Don’t. Don’t do that,” Mason snarled at the other man, making me all the more restless. Those sounds, those tones, they felt so wrong right now. “Baby, I’ll call the boys. They’ll be ‘round here in minutes to help you out, finish things off, and then you can sleep. Or I can—”

“No!”

My growl overrode all of theirs as I launched myself at Aidan, throwing him down on the bed and then clambering on top. His eyes went wide for a second, but we moved as one, angling our bodies so he could slide home again.

“Paige…”

Mason’s voice was insistent but faded away into the night, easily disregarded now the flames inside me had come roaring back. I needed Aidan, needed that steady throbbing presence within, needed him spearing deep, my hips working faster and faster, the time he spent pulling out shorter and shorter. I ached, twitched, and jerked above him, feeling that itch so deep, only he could scratch it. Mason kept trying to interfere, giving a full-throated snarl, and the snap of my teeth was the only thing that had him scuttling back. But he didn’t relent, my beta mate, crawling on the bed behind me, holding me in his arms as another man ruthlessly ploughed me, his teeth on my neck, his brutal grip fighting the natural rhythm that beat inside me.

“Close…” Aidan gasped out. “So close!”

And so was I. Mason’s arms went to iron, Aidan’s fingers digging into my hips as he tried to push home, force me to take his knot, while my cunt twitched wildly, trying to draw him in deeper, but Mason held me in a stranglehold as my orgasm washed through me. I cried out, from pleasure, from pain, from the deep and abiding sense of missing something important, but how was that true? Tears filled my eyes, running down my cheeks as our bodies finally stilled.

“You did something to her!” Mason pulled me clear, dragging me into his lap and hunching over me like an animal does its prey. “This isn’t the way it goes. Paige doesn’t just let a guy knot her with barely a by your leave.”

“It felt right,” Aidan shot back, his own eyes streaming. “It felt more right than anything I’ve ever felt in my miserable fucking life, and you stopped it!”

“Why?” Mason’s voice was low and deadly.

“Because you’re a vengeful, possessive fuck! Because you can’t stand to see her happy, so you disrespect her in front of the whole fucking town. Because you could never give all of yourself to a woman like her.”

“You couldn’t be more fucking wrong. I’m gonna watch her knot and claim other men, and I’ll be honoured for that opportunity. If she cares for someone so much, she wants to make them hers for eternity, wants to join her heart to theirs, I’m there for it. Bind herself to them. Commit to them. Have their children.” I clawed at Mason, needing to get closer to him now, even as I was caged in his arms.

“That’s what I fucking want. It’s all I fucking want…” Aidan sounded heartbroken.

“Why? What is it that you love about her? You want her, need her, that makes sense, but you have to love her to bind yourself to her.”

I had a front row seat to watching Aidan’s face fall, and when it did, it felt like a fog cleared from my brain. It all rushed in—the well used feel of my body, the ache inside me of taking big dick hard and deep before I was ready. The last vestiges of whatever drew me to Aidan washed through me like some kind of warning.

“Fuck…” Aidan breathed, looking at me in horror as he crawled off the bed, yanking on his clothes. “What did they do? What the fuck did they do?”

Mason didn’t relax until the other man had bolted out the door, then his hand went to the phone he’d left on the bedside table.

“Dec. Yep, I know. I need a pickup.”

I was shaking when I got back inside the alpha residence, all the way up the stairs until I got into the shower. Mason tried to steer me towards the bedroom, but I shook my head, needing the steam and the hot water to wash everything away and just leave
