Chapter 24

**Archer**


I see it in her eyes. Fear..uncertainty...every doubt in her mind is written all over her beautiful face.

She is truly beautiful. In a way no other girl is. Her face is soft and open even after all the horrible things she must have experienced in that place. I want to wrap her in my arms and protect her from every darkness in this world, but Ezra has the right idea.

Protecting her is not the right thing to do...not like that anyway. Giving her the tools to get revenge for the hell she has lived in for too long is the only way to help her feel...free. To let go of the demons by fighting them with her own will, and I find that it seems right.

Our girl has been a victim for too long. It's time for her to be more, and I will be with her every step of the way. There is nowhere in this world I would rather be than by her side.

"Archer..."Her voice is a soft whisper as she reaches out and cups the side of my face.

I see something soft in her eyes that looks so pure that I wonder if she sees the same look in my eyes. There is a connection between us that is so strong that I couldn't imagine not ever knowing her. Before I can say anything else she leans forward and presses her soft pink lips to mine. My eyes fall shut as I feel her warmth all around me, pulling me toward her like she is the sun and I am craving her heat.

I was lost for so long...looking for something...and I know now I have been waiting for her. She lights me up inside and I groan into our kiss. I move my lips over hers in a desperate need to taste more of her. her other hand comes to grip both sides of my face and my hands reach out to grab her hips. The world falls away as I run my tongue along her smooth bottom lip and she opens her mouth to me.

We were interrupted before but I can't stop now. I should...all of my brothers are here with us but I could care less. I want her more than I have wanted anything and my craving for her is almost painful.

"Shit." I hear one of my brothers say, but it sounds pained like it's killing him to watch us.

Still, I don't stop. I kiss my girl harder and run my hands beneath her shirt. She runs her fingers into my hair and tugs it slightly. That is all it takes to make the animal inside me break free for the first time. All kinds of dark desires spill out and I reach for the knife I keep tucked into my boots and pull away from my kiss. Her dark eyes watch me and her chest moves up and down as she takes in some much-needed breaths.

I slid my free hand up her thigh and grab hold of the hem of her shirt before I slide my knife beneath it and with one clean pull I cut the material right down the middle.

She gasps but her eyes never leave mine, and I surge toward her until my lips slam against hers and I pull the rest of the fabric off her body.

"Shit man... this is hot." I hear Sawyer say.

He isn't wrong, every part of me feels like it's on fire and Elise's sweet scent hits me so suddenly I feel my dick get so hard it hurts. How did she do that? I realize I hadn't smelled her scent since this morning, but I push that aside for now. I don't care right now when I need her so badly that I could scream. I reach around her and unhook the plain black bras she's wearing until the material falls away. Her kisses become more desperate as her hand tightens in the material of my shirt.

I want to feel her bare skin against mine so I pull away again and pull my shirt over my head. Her eyes fall to my bare chest and she licks her lips a little making a groan come from somewhere in the room. My eyes are fixed on her though as she slowly reaches out and places her whole palm on my peck before slowly dragging it down. My head falls back at her touching me and I gasp when her hand brushes against my rock-hard dick. I'm ready to rip the rest of my clothes off and take her hard and fast but I want to see what she will do so I stay completely still.

Her hand rubs me slowly and I let out a deep moan and clench my fists tight against my thighs. I'm still kneeling in front of her and I suddenly feel her blow a breath against my neck. My eyes fly open and I see she's abandoned her chair and is kneeling down in front of me now. She moves back slightly so that we are eye to eye and my breath catches at the hunger in her eyes.

"Archer..." She purrs and I nearly come in my pants from the sound.

It's damn sexy and before I can do a thing she moves forward and takes my mouth with desperate need. It's like a switch has gone off and the shy sad girl from a moment ago is gone. Her mouth leaves mine as she straddles me and her mouth moves down my chin and onto my neck as she does. A sudden shock of pain shoots through me from where she has been sucking on my neck.

"Holy shit. Did she just....that's fucking hot." I hear Sawyer say.

Elise just bit me. An Omega just bit and claimed an Alpha.

"Shut the fuck up Sawyer!" I hear Weston growl out before there is a sound of one of the chairs slamming into something.

Elise is sucking and licking at where she's bitten me and I look over her shoulder to see Weston prowling over to us. I expect him to pull her away from me and put a stop to what we're doing but he doesn't. No, he pushes the chair behind Elise away and drops to his knees behind her. He reaches out and wraps a hand around her waist and tugs her away from me. As she sits up and grinds down on my lap he slides his hand up and wraps both his large hands over her breasts. Her head falls back onto his shoulder and he leans down and begins kissing and nipping up her neck.

I don't care what he does because she is grinding against me so much that I don't think I can last a second longer.

"Hold her still," I tell him and he looks at me for a second and nods.

I move back a bit so that she isn't grinding down on my dick anymore but only far enough for me to undo my pants and pull my dick out of my pants and relieve some pressure. Weston is pulling moans out of Elise that are killing me as he messages her breasts and turns her head to kiss her fully. I move back and undo her pants and slowly slide them down her legs. I growl in frustration because they stop at her mid-thigh because half of her legs are still straddling me.

While she's distracted I grab my knife from where I dropped it beside me and cut the rest of her pants away. Her panties included until she is completely exposed in front of us all.

"Hand her to me," I tell Weston.

He growls for a second but then gently pushes her over to me. I make her straddle me but not fully. Her eyes lock with mine and I open my mouth to ask her if she wants to stop but she rests her hands on my shoulder and lowers herself down on me.

She is so tight around me that I gasp from the feeling, but then there is some resistance. I realize suddenly that I hadn't considered her not being untouched in that way. In a dark part of my mind, I thought maybe the men who kept her might have...

I shut those thoughts down fast and focus on the gorgeous creature in my arms. She lets out a shaky breath and squeezes her eyes shut before she pushes herself down on me completely. She cries out but it quickly turns into a moan. I let out one of my own in answer and slowly grip her hips tighter and move her over me.

God, she feels amazing, and with another low moan, she starts to grind harder against me. I can't move slow any longer and I start thrusting up into her the best I can in this position and she gasps each time. My eyes fall shut again and lights flash behind my eyelids and I move so fast that I almost think I'm imagining it. One second I'm working her over my cock and the next my teeth are buried deep into the side of her neck.

She cries out and her slick wall tightens around me making me growl against her skin as I empty myself inside her.

Oh god...nothing in this world has ever felt so good.
