The Omni-Wolf’s Choice novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Just me and you…

Alpha Ryder’s POV

There aren’t many moments in my life where my answer has come out that fast. Bridget was already setting every nerve I have on fire, and then she goes and asks-like it’s the most casual thing in the

world-if I want to shower with her.

Yes. Immediately. I’m pretty sure the word left my mouth before she even finished asking.

Her training today had been unreal. She had finally started reaching for her power instead of just

circling it. For a second, her wolf had surfaced-her eyes flashing that rich, molten gold. She had

earned praise, and I was more than happy to give it.

“Absolutely.”

I catch her hand and tug her into our bedroom.

Her things are everywhere now, like she’s been here longer than she has. I had the staff empty the guest room the moment I knew she was staying with me, because I didn’t want even the possibility of

distance between us.

I guide her into the bathroom. The lights are on the dimmer, the room kept deliberately dark, and I leave it that way as I turn the shower on.

Behind me, she shifts. Fabric slides. When I glance back, she’s lifting her T-shirt over her head, leaving a sports bra that barely contains her. The leggings cling to every curve of her ass.

My mouth waters. Talon rumbles, hungry.

I step in close, hands locking onto her hips, and then I spin her so she’s facing the mirror.

In the low light, her golden-brown skin looks like it’s lit from within. Moonlight spills in through the window and drifts over her like it has rights. I hate how good it gets to touch her.

“I’m going to have to check you,” I tell her, voice rough. “Every inch. With my tongue. Just to be sure

you didn’t get hurt.”

My palms slide from her hips to her stomach, slow enough to feel her muscles tense under my touch.

“Anything hurting?”

“Oh, I’m in pain everywhere,” she says, laughing as she plants her hands on the counter. “This could

take a while.”

“Then I’ll take my time getting you relief.”

Talon pushes against my control. I hook my fingers into her ponytail and pull her head gently to the side, exposing her throat so I can breathe her in. My nose traces her neck as I press in behind her, watching her in the mirror while her breathing breaks.

I kiss along her skin, unhurried, until I stop just above her collarbone.

“Right here,” I murmur against her. “This is where I’m going to mark you. I’m going to claim you, and after that no one will even consider reaching for what’s mine.”

I latch on and suck hard.

It has been a few days since I last left a temporary mark on her. I am going to keep doing it until she’s ready for the real thing. And by ready, I mean I want her begging me for my canines while I’m buried inside her. That’s the standard. I’m going to make sure she understands it.

“Ryder… that feels so good,” she moans, letting her head fall back against my chest.

My hands roam like they don’t belong to me. I knead her breasts through the sports bra, and then my

claws extend.

Fabric gives way in one brutal tear.

She doesn’t protest. Not anymore. She has learned I won’t stop to be polite when I want to taste her.

Her breasts spring free, full and heavy. Her nipples-light brown, darker than her skin-tighten

instantly.

1 retract my claws and take her in both hands, testing her. Squeezing. Rolling her nipples between my fingers until her breath catches and her hips twitch.

“Ryder… more. Please.”

“You like it?” I ask, low. “A little pain mixed in with your pleasure? That what my Luna wants?”

“Yes,” she breathes, thighs pressing together as she fights for control.

“Show me.”

I drag my hand down her stomach to the waistband of her leggings.

“Feet apart.”

She nods-good girl-and I slide my hand inside her leggings, but over her panties. My palm cups her, rubbing slow, deliberate strokes.

The wetness hits me through the fabric.

I watch her chest lift and fall, and I bite her neck-small bites at first, then a little harder, building it. My fingers slip under the edge of her panties, sliding between her folds.

I touch her clit with the tip of my finger, barely there.

She tries to chase the contact, pushing back into my hand.

I clamp an arm around her waist and hold her still.

“Stop teasing me, Ryder.”

Her eyes in the mirror are too bright. In the dark, her wolf is right under her skin, and the glow is

starting.

“Is this what you mean?”

I push one finger fully inside her.

She bites her lip and nods hard, pleading without words.

I begin to thrust my finger in and out, then add another. She grips my forearms as I work them deeper

until I’m to my knuckles.

My canines lengthen. Talon feels her wolf and wants to take over. I drag my tongue along her neck,

teeth tracing her skin, and every instinct in me is fighting not to sink them into her.

I keep pumping.

Her slick spills down my hand and over her thighs.

“Ryder…” she says, the sound half warning, half prayer.

“You want to come on my fingers?” I breathe into her ear. “You’ve already destroyed these panties,

sweetheart. I want to feel you squeeze. Here-take another.”

I push a third finger inside her and use my other hand to pinch and roll her nipple.

“Look at yourself,” I order. “Look at how filthy you get for me. Watch me work this pussy. It’s mine. Are

you ready to say it?”

“Oh-goddess.” She can barely speak.

I speed up, driving her toward the edge, and I clamp my mouth on the same spot on her neck again,

Her body spasms, gorgeous and uncontrollable, and I grab her waist to keep her upright. I’m ready to

spin her and bury myself in her while she’s still shaking. I want her trembling on my cock.

I start to pull my fingers free-

A heavy knock slams into the door.

“Fuck,” I snarl toward it. “Go away.”

Bridget only smiles as she strips the rest of the way. I lift my slick fingers so she can see them shine,

then I bring them to my mouth and lick them clean.

Her eyes widen, heat flaring.

“Now that,” she murmurs, “is hot, Alpha.”

She steps into the shower and starts lathering herself, slow enough to make it a show.

“1 really hope that’s a present you’re planning on giving me,” she says, and her gaze flicks to my hard-

on with a sigh that sounds like disappointment.

“All yours,” I tell her. “As soon as we get a damn minute alone. So I can train you to take all of me.”

I lean into the spray and kiss her. She opens for me, and I know she can taste herself on my mouth.

My hands slide over her again, greedy.

I need time alone with her. Badly. For all of us.

́Alpha, there’s someone at the front gate. They’re asking to speak with you, sir.’

My warrior’s mind-link cuts through.

Name,’ I snap back, already furious at the interruption.

They said Montgomery, sir.”

I freeze

Montgomery-a werebear I’ve fought beside, trained with, bled with. Massive, built like the beast he is.

A loner who has turned me down every time I’ve offered him a place in my pack. He always said he

couldn’t stay anywhere.

‘Bring him to my office. Have Connor meet you at the pack house entrance.’

‘Yes, Alpha.’

The link drops.

I step under the water for a fast rinse, scrubbing Bridget’s scent off me as much as I can. I don’t want any male wolf-mated or not-catching even a hint of her arousal on me.

‘Connor. Where are you?’ I mind-link.

‘I’m right outside your door, Alpha,’ he answers, amused.

‘Perfect. Meet me in my office. Go get Montgomery at the front and bring him up.’

I watch Bridget walk out of the bathroom naked, then return wearing one of my shirts like she owns it.

Goddess, I want her.

“Duty?” she asks as we head back into the bedroom.

I

“Someone’s at the gate,” I tell her. “An ally. If he came here, it’s for a reason. I hate leaving you like this.”

She smiles and starts pulling her hair down, letting it spill as she shakes it out-deliberate, provocative. She’s taunting me, and she knows it.

“I understand,” she says. “You’re running a pack.”

“I’m going to make you pay for that teasing, my Luna,” I promise, already mapping out what I’m going

to do to her the next time I get her alone.

“Ryder,” she says, voice soft and warning, “behave. I’ll be right here. Waiting.”

She crawls to the edge of the bed and wraps her arms around me. I breathe her in, kiss her, then pull

on boxer briefs, slacks, and a white button-down.

Halfway through, an idea hits.

“Tomorrow people will start arriving for the ball,” I say. “It’s in two days. What if I take you out before everything turns insane? A real date.”

Her eyes brighten instantly.

“You want to take me on a date?” she asks, slipping into a British accent as she teases. “I would be

honored.”

Her grin is too big to hide how excited she is.

“Then it’s settled,” I tell her. “Tomorrow. Just you and me.”

“It’s a date,” she says, and then she adds, softer, like she’s claiming it: “Just me and you.”

I leave the room and head down the hall toward my office, already turning over ideas. I’ll talk to my

mother, get help planning it right.

Tomorrow will be perfect.

Nothing is going to ruin it for us.
