| am drowning.
Alec's body is solid against mine, his warmth seeping through my skin, his breath heavy and ragged in my ear.
His hard length pressed against my entrance, the tip sliding just inside, and it is torture.
A delicious, unbearable torture.
"Mate. Take him now, please." Nyx's voice is a throaty growl, her need as feral as mine. "He's right there. Just a
little more..."
A strangled whimper escapes me, my hips arching to pull him deeper, to close the last fraction of space that
keepsfrom feeling all of him. My nails dig into his shoulders, and my head falls back against the rough bark
of the tree.
"Alec," | breathe, the nslipping out in a desperate, needy moan.
His jaw clenches, muscles flexing beneath my palms. His eyes blaze, a molten gold, and the moonlight catches
the sweat gleaming on his chest. His fingers grip my thighs, holdingup, yet he doesn't fully slide inside us.
He's all of a sudden different from how he was minutes ago. As if the lust no longer clouds his mind. | feel him
trembling, fighting himself. Fighting us.

| was giving myself whiplash. One moment | am against us mating with them and the next | want Alec so bad it
hurts.
Nyx whimpered, her hurt mixing with my own. "Why? Why did he stop?"
Alec's pacing slows. He is panting, his chest rising and falling in rapid, shallow breaths. His fists clenched,
knuckles white, and his eyes were squeezed shut as if he were trying to block out the sight of me.

to speak, to say anything without my voice breaking. Without sobbing.
"Sadie."
Alec's voice is a rough, gravelly rasp. His hand closes around my wrist, holdingin place.
"Letgo," | whisper, my voice thick and raw. "You don't want me, so letgo."
"What are you talking about?" Alec's eyes are wild, his brows drawn tight. "Of course | want you."

"If you did, you wouldn't have pulled away,” | snap, finally meeting his gaze. “I felt you, Alec. You wanted me.
You were right there, and then... then you pulled away."
Alec swallows, the muscles in his jaw working.
