“Yes,” I growled in appreciation.
Leaning forward, she took my cock in her mouth again, but the sight of her glistening pussy, swollen and waiting for me to lick it, sent me into a frenzy. I needed her taste on my tongue more than I needed my next breath.
Gripping her hips, I positioned her over my mouth, taking a slow lick up her center. The taste of her arousal made me dizzy with desire. I wouldn’t last long like this, with her mouth on me, and my mouth on her.
Ashla moaned around my cock and her knees gave out as her pussy quivered and throbbed under my tongue. Still, I held her there, wanting as much of her as I could get, until I couldn’t take it anymore.
I needed to be inside my mate.
Lifting her off me, I laid her back, spreading her legs wide to fit between them.
“Solen,” she whimpered, hips undulating uncontrollably.
“It’s okay, mate. I’ve got you.”
With my next breath, I pushed into her slick channel, planting myself to the hilt, and kissed away her scream of pleasure as I lost myself in my female’s heat.

Chapter Eight
Solen pumped his cock into me and I had to keep forcing myself to open my eyes, even when the heat overwhelmed me and the electricity that flowed from his body to mine threatened to set the entire desert on fire, because when I closed them, we were both wolves.
And we were free. There was no Luxoria, no Badlands, no alphas, no omegas. It was just me and him.
His shaft swelled, and the very last pulses of my climax fluttered around it as he knotted and shot his seed into me. My temperature soared and that fire had never felt more real. His body stuttered and his muscles went tense. In that moment, he’d never been more vulnerable, stronger, or more beautiful.
Once his knot released, the only sound in the room was our labored breathing as he picked up my ruined top and pressed it between my legs, wiping away any evidence of our union. It was a thoughtful gesture, but it made me sad. I wanted to wear his mark. It was only a matter of time before those rogue soldiers would catch up to us and when they scented me, they should have no doubt I belonged to Solen.
He dropped the cloth on the floor and grinned before crawling over to me. His feral grace sent another wave of heat through me. Soon, I’d need him again.
“How are you feeling?” he asked, his voice soft. He was showing me a totally different side of him. Like he finally wasn’t afraid to be himself. Not just with me, but I had a feeling this was the first time he’d ever let his walls down.
I did that for him.
“Best heat ever.” I dared to press a kiss against his cheek.
Solen laughed, and it was such a beautiful sound because it was real and genuine. “It really is. And we’re not done.”
My exhausted core muscles fluttered a hell yes in response.
“What was it like for you before?” I asked. Omega males didn’t have a heat like females, but they had cycles that coincided with ours.
He rolled onto his back and sighed. “Difficult. Every time I rutted with a female, I feared I would shift. So I only did it when necessary. And when the omegas in the Badlands reached the peak of their cycles, I made sure to stay as far away as possible. I’d come here. This bunker is fully outfitted with everything I need to lead the east. But even with the best of precautions, I couldn’t always prevent my shift.”
Fascinating. The omega males I’d grown up and worked with had had a much different objective. There was some sort of male omega pissing contest in the Badlands that reached a frenzy as the females went into heat. Rutting was a badge of honor for them, and a mark of horror for unmated females. Solen’s experience was closer to mine.
I wouldn’t tell him that. Didn’t matter what class this wolf was, he still had his pride.
“Did anyone else ever see you shift?”
“Adalai,” he said. Even though the two men were cousins, and omega blood ran through the King’s veins, I wondered how that went. If Solen was ashamed, and his kin disgusted. “And you.”
I raised a brow. “All these years, you only shifted in front of two people?”
“As far as I know.” He turned and looked at me. “It’s possible that someone in the castle saw something they shouldn’t have. It might be why we’re in this situation right now.”
I hated that my omega side thought he meant the two of us in bed together as a situation. Like it was a bad thing. But I had ways of protecting myself too.
“Why did you shift in front of me?” I’d walked in on him in the armory. I’d heard him before I found him in a dark corner. I’d always assumed it was a mistake and I was glad I was the one who found him before he revealed his secret to any other omegas.
But did I find him in time? Did I do enough to keep him safe? That was a thought I never expected to have.
“Mate.” The word was tipped with a growl and
