“Papa help me.”
“He can’t.” Kaelan’s voice sounded from right behind me. So close that his breath moved the hair from my neck. “The deal is done, it is done yes?”
Horrified I watched as my father nodded.
“I am the man who is now in charge of your protection Bree.” Calloused fingers slid under my hair, and around my throat. He didn’t say another word as the door clicked shut. He didn’t really have to. The body pressed tightly against mine spoke volumes.
“You are afraid of me?” Kaelan’s lips brushed against my ear, sending shock waves rushing through my body.
“No.” I shook my head and the hand around my throat tightened. Not painfully but enough to keep me still. “I just …..”
“Yes you are, but there is no need. I will only punish you when you need it, Bree. You may even learn to enjoy it.” His words were soft, but the hand that was dragging the long skirts of my evening dress up my thighs was rough. “I know I am going to enjoy it.”
I didn’t doubt that for a second. I could feel how much he was already enjoying it pressing against the curve of my ass.
“You will be the queen of my empire.” One rough hand slid over my ass and squeezed. “You can not fight this Bree. The money would have already exchanged hands.” He growled again and to my dismay, fresh liquid flowed from me. The slick coming thick and fast at the sound and feel of him.
“I am not for sale.”
Kaelan chuckled knowingly. “Maybe not but your father seems to have other ideas. The feel of my presence is forcing your body into heat already Bree. Can’t you feel it?” One thick finger slid between my legs, trailing against the wetness of my panties. I couldn’t help it I moaned.
My entire life, since I had first been identified as an omega, I had always used my own hands and the drugs that my father could get hold of to ease the discomfort of my estrus. The thought of having a man, a real alpha to help me through it was both appealing and terrifying.
“No.” I lied, my legs trembling. “No this isn’t right. I am not your mate.”
“Yes, you are.” Back and forth his finger trailed. “You might not like it Bree, but it is the truth. I knew it as soon as I caught your scent. No amount of Omega Blocker could hide you from me. You will learn to love me.” The first touch of his rough finger against my most intimate skin, made me cry out. “You will learn to crave my touch.” The hand on my throat moved me forward. Until my hips bumped into the table. Plates and glasses scattered as he bent me over it.
My dress was pulled up, baring my panty-clad ass to him. Kaelan growled in approval. “I like you like this. When I mark you I think I shall bend you over like this.”
Swallowing hard I fought against his grip. It was impossible. His hands were vice-like on my body.
“Naked and dripping for me. Would you like that my little omega?”
“No.” I ground it out between my teeth. “I….” I snapped my lips together. Who was I kidding? Not him that was for sure. “Just get it over with will you.”
“Get it over with?” Kaelan’s teeth nipped at my ear lobe. “As much as I want to sink into your body Bree, certain niceties must be adhered to. Tonight I will punish you.” Another flick of his finger against my tortured lips. “Maybe tease your body into submission a little. But I won’t claim you. Not tonight. When I do you will beg for me to be in your body.”
“I won’t.” My hand closed around the wine decanter in the middle of the table. “I will never beg you…” my words were cut off as a strangled cry escaped my lips.
He had hit me, his heavy palm coming down on my bottom. “Yes, you will Bree. … one day soon you will beg me and then and only then will I claim you.” Kaelan’s voice was husky, almost loving but he didn’t stop his flurry of smacks.
He showed no mercy. “But for now I will make do with punishing you. I like seeing you like this very much.” He rubbed at the offending cheeks, massaging them.
He was talking like this was consensual like I wanted him to spank me. I didn’t. No matter how much my body seemed to react to it. This wasn’t something ladies of my position enjoyed. They didn’t crave being manhandled by growling alphas with no manners.
“You are fighting against your body Bree. I can feel it. It is ok to enjoy my hands on you.” His weight settled over my back. Not crushing but pressing me further down against the wood.
I couldn’t see what he was doing but I could hear the clink of his belt as he undid it.
I fought against him, bucking upwards but all it did was press my ass more firmly against him.
“You said…” I wasn’t ready. No matter how much my body was telling me I was. It didn’t matter how much slick coated my thighs. Mentally I wasn’t prepared to be taken like this. Rutted like an animal amidst the ruins of my father’s dinner party.
“Relax Bree.”
I could feel the silky length of his slip between my thighs. Gritting my teeth I prepared myself for the pain that was to come. But Kaelan didn’t thrust up into me. He just moved his body against mine. Back and forth.
“I want my seed on you before we greet the others. I want to rub it into your skin so no alpha will dare to approach you.” He sucked in a breath. “Your estrus is coming. I do not want to be fighting everyone when it does.”
