Nicholas woke hard.
Not gradually. Not with the slow stirring of morning arousal that could be pushed aside with cold water and discipline. He woke to a state of aching, throbbing need that made his entire body tense against the sheets.
His cock was rigid. Painful. Leaking precome onto his stomach in a way that would have been embarrassing if he was capable of feeling anything except the overwhelming, all-consuming need to be inside Lilith.
He lay in the darkness of his bedroom, the pre-dawn light just beginning to creep through the windows, and tried to understand what was happening to him.
She was a body for them to fuck. That’s all she was supposed to be. Payment for a crime. A thirty-day agreement that would end and she would leave and life would return to normal.
Except nothing about this was normal.
For the past eleven days, his wolf, Kael had been increasingly restless. Increasingly focused on her. Increasingly demanding that Nicholas go to her room, throw her on her back, and bury himself inside her until he couldn’t think anymore.
Which was unacceptable.
Nicholas Blackwood did not lose control. Did not allow his wolf to dictate his actions. Did not become obsessed with an omega who was supposed to be nothing more than a transaction.
And yet here he was. Hard enough to hurt. Frustrated enough to consider going to her room right now, consequences be damned.
The knock on his door was sharp and deliberate.
"Enter," he commanded, grateful for the distraction.
Sebastian pushed open the door, took one look at Nicholas on the bed, sheets tented, expression murderous....and laughed.
It was a laugh of complete understanding.
"Well, fuck," Sebastian said, closing the door behind him. "You’re hard."
"Obviously," Nicholas said coldly.
"That makes the two of us." Sebastian moved to the window, looking out at the grounds below. "Or wait..." He laughed again, a low sound. "That makes the three of us, because I can feel Lucian’s frustration bleeding through the bond like he’s about to snap a training dummy in half."
As if summoned by the mention of his name, or perhaps by the shared sexual frustration traveling through their fraternal bond, Lucian entered the room. His golden eyes were blazing. His jaw was clenched so tight it looked like he might crack teeth. He dropped into one of the leather chairs with the kind of aggressive force that made the frame creak.
"Well, good morning to you too, brother," Sebastian said with a smile that was equal parts amusement and hunger.
