Leila woke up nestled in Ryan’s arms, which now felt like steel. She could already feel the chirpings of the birds. And the smell of dawn. Everything felt invigorating. There was so much that was going on, and at a fast pace at that, but she was not scared, she felt liberated. Looking at Ryan who was now sleeping peacefully on the bed, she could not help but blush as she remembered what had gone down the previous night.
Heartbeat increasing, she sat up and hid her face on her palms. She could feel his hot breath on her abdomen. Everything that went on last night had her rethinking her relationship with Ryan. The way his golden eyes had captivated her, drawing her into his world. The way he had moved up her body, tasting every part of her as though savoring a delicious dessert. The small kisses that he peppered along her body, making her shiver. Goosebumps developing along the path he trailed as his warm breath met her skin. Every time he had moved his lips from her skin had her nearly making a vocal protest.
Then he had reached her midrib, licking along the way while tracing his fingers along the mound of her breasts. Giving a hint of what was to come and yet never diving to taste the price. Every careful kiss placed as he blew warm breath across her nipple. The warmth causing the nipple to pucker up. The way he had driven her insane with his nicks and kisses. The things he had done to her, her heart palpitated every moment she thought of.
They had not consummated yet, they wanted to wait for the wedding day, but she had done a lot of work. Looking at her red hand, she could not help but think how much of a bully Ryan really was. He had said that when she helped him with her hand, it would only take a few minutes before he was satisfied. Even then, they had taken nearly an hour, her hand long tired. Looking at her hands she felt like crying, even though the man had offered to massage her hand afterwards.
Looking at the sleeping man, she felt satisfied. Just as she made to stand from the bed, his eyelashes flattered and he was awake. He pulled her back on the bed and held her in a strong grip. “Morning sunshine, where are you going.” He said as he massaged her hand. “Hmph, you even dare ask, I will not tell you. Leila said as she glared at him.” Leila said as she attempted to move away from him.
He knew that she still felt aggrieved from yesterday, so he could not afford to offend her anymore. Looking at her, he pulled her even closer and whispered into her ear. “I’m sorry for yesterday love. It won’t happen again.” Even as he said those words, he could feel his eyelid twitching. He could not keep that promise but for now, how would say anything to just have her okay with him.
“Come-on, smile for me Hun,” he said as he kissed her hand, finger by finger. ‘I was in the wrong, I will always listen to you.’ Hearing him keep on talking in such a vulgar manner had her spotting a blush that tinted nearly her entire cheeks red. “Humph! who wants your apologies.” Leila said as she stepped away from him. She felt childish doing this, yet at the same time she felt good behaving like that.
When she got to the door, she faced him and stuck her tongue towards him then ran off. This had Ryan laughing before he heard her suddenly scream. When he moved to see what was happening, he was taken by some of the maids in the house. Seeing that she was moving with maids from the palace, he also relaxed and allowed those around him to drag him about. He did not even understand what was going on.
They brought him into the dressing room where they had him freshen up. Afterwards, they started a long process of cleaning his nails, attending to him like a king. His nails were clipped short, painted with a shiny clear paint. They then chose a black and burgundy tuxedo and had him put on. Then his shoes. When he eventually stood to look at himself in the mirror, he looked spic and span.
On the other hand, when the maids took Leila away. They went to help her get ready. When they had prepared a bath, she threw them out to bath by herself. She was too embarrassed, considering how rough Ryan had been the previous night. She had several Hickes marking her neck. She felt like digging herself into a hole and burying there.
The bath was relaxing, having been mixed with rose water solution. It felt refreshing as she bathed, soothing. she felt pampered. Moving from the water, she was taken to an adjacent dressing table, where the maids took work into their own hands. It was like a scene out of a celebrity preparing to present before people. The massaged her legs as they applied lotion, while another person did her hair.
They waxed her feet, and arms, and the nick and picking almost had her screaming the place down, if she had not seen the finished product. But before that, something else had stolen her heart. A simple elegant gown, that was as soft as silk. This had her heart thumping, almost like love at first sight. When they helped her into the dress, she felt her hands sweat with anticipation. Turning to look at the mirror, she felt all breath escape her.
It was not just the dress, no, she looked different. She even felt it. She felt regal, mature, responsible and the same time fun. The maids had been excited as they talked about the preparations that were still ongoing. Apparently, their wedding would be held today, on a Sunday. She felt giddy and excited. The dress was held on her shoulders by what looked like rings before dropping to cover her bust modestly. Then, the waist was cinched, leaving the rest of the dress to dop down in ripples, making her look like a fairy.
She would be getting married to Ryan today. Breathing in, she sat back on her chair. Everything felt surreal. Moving at a fast pace, and yet she did not feel any ill feeling towards that. On the other hand, what disturbed her mind was the constant doom she could feel from within her heart. But come what may, she would face each day at a time.
Ryan watched her as she walked down the aisle towards him. It still felt surreal how a handful of days ago, he had never even met her, but now, she was coming to him. They were to be united under the goddess of love, blessed to carry royalty in their blood. The path was lined with white pillars, on top of which there were vases of flowers. Each vase holding a mix of flowers. They all looked exotic, and he could imagine how carefully they had been sorted.But no matter how exotic they looked; they did not hold a candle to her. No, his Leila looked like an angel dropped from heaven. When he had heard that she was on the aisle, no, it was not heard, when he had felt her scent. His blood had started rushing wildly. Heartbeat increasing with excitement, today she would be his. Then he lifted his eyes slowly, which rested on the hem of her dress. The dress was long enough to cover her feet but the occasional rising of the dress as she walked allowed him to spot the leather sandals
“Hey, wake up Hun, brought you breakfast.” That was the sound Leila woke up to. She had been dead asleep for as long as she could remember. As the soft caresses of his voice entered her ear, she found herself trying to wake up. Her body felt like lead. Like heavyweights had been placed all over her. Leila’s eyes felt sticky as though they had been glued together using the strongest glue there is.Struggling to sit up, she heard herself groan as every part of her body resisted movement. As her eyes finally opened, first into small slits, and as the cold air passed through them, now fully awake. She started recalling. Yesterday had been her wedding day. Indeed, they had gotten married, but things did not go all through as they had expected.She moved her eyes to rest lazily on now her husband Ryan, who looked all fresh and crisp and wondered how it was that he did not feel tired. Yesterday had been so tiring, only being able to get some sleep in the wee
The biggest limiting thing for the current her now was that she could not understand the thoughts of the other members of her pack. Looking around her, she felt her heart thump, as that ominous feeling in her heart kept increasing. It felt as though something terrible would happen to her though she had no idea what.Her mind working clearly in a bid to make clear calculations towards the probability of her killing the healer, she underwent a berserk moment. Where all her thoughts were pulled towards one place. she had sensed a strong killing intent coming from that man that had silently appeared on the other side, at the same time, there was a familiarity that arose from her deepest parts.She could not afford to be sidelined at this moment, and therefore she made a decision that seemed unwise. She would attack everyone there. If she did eventually get to the healer well and good. But one thing she was sure of was that any chance she got, she should kill that man.
They were okay. The whole pack was okay. They then moved amongst the pack, looking at the casualties and thankfully, they weren’t as many as she had expected. Looking back, she couldn’t recall what had happened to the healer, but the Victorians had retreated. This time round, they had paid quite a huge price for the sake of expanding and yet they lost.The injured were collected and moved towards one center of their pack territory. It was at that time that she realized that the pack’s territory had been under heavy guard. They had machineries that protected the place even though they looked old-school. It seemed like even though it was in the twenty first century, the werewolves still preferred the fighting much more physically than using modern technology such as guns and grenades.The rush of adrenaline and the physical fights were much more exciting, besides, in as much they fought, they did not aim at exterminating their races. They were already f
His thoughts were in different places as he thought of what had happened back there. They had lost members of the pack to the attack. Thoughts of how there would be a blood bath once the savior arrived kept filling his mind, and he could not help but feel tensed. However, looking at her lying there, her soft snores filling the room. He knew what he had to do. There were in this together, and since the goddess of love had already foreordained him as the rightful mate to her, then he was capable in that aspect.After drying up, he slipped right under the blankets behind her, and cuddled her. things were okay for as long as they were together. Before long, whether due to accepting the fact that he was married to the savior or because of how tired he had been, he soon followed her into slumberland. In his dreams, he saw her standing there once more, the rain of arrows approaching her from all directions. This time round she was just a normal wolf, she could not stop the arrows as
Pulling away from her, Ryan took the food and started feeding her. “Open your mouth ah” Ryan said as he moved a spoon towards her mouth. Seeing this, she felt like a baby and in an effort to offset the discomfort took the spoon in her hands. Smiling softly, Ryan watched her take the spoon, something he was not prepared to let go. “Come on baby, open your mouth, I want to feed you.” Ryan said as he moved his lips towards hers and in a flurry of actions, she let go of the spoon.Laughing loudly, the two sat in an ambient environment, Ryan feeding her while Leila occasionally opened her mouth to be fed. It felt like they had known each other for ages despite only being in the company of each other for a period less than a year. After the breakfast, Ryan pushed her into the bathroom, where he helped her bath, but it was not just helping, the man was putting her body on edge.Every action, every intake of air felt like an aphrodisiac. Everything push
Getting in the passenger’s seat, Leila could not help but feel giddy. She did not know where Ryan wanted them to go but she was not overly concerned about that. Ryan, on the other hand got into the driver’s seat and started the ignition. Looking at him playfully, Leila thought of asking about where they were going until she could no longer hold back. Smiling coquettish at him, she blinked her eyes, in an effort to look flirtatious though on the contrary she looked silly.Seeing her antics, Ryan released a loud laugh that showed his joy. “So where are we going Hun, would you please tell me,” Leila said still attempting to batt her eyelashes in that unflattering manner, that caused Ryan to smile. Making dovey eyes, she looked so cute and he could not help pinching her chubby cheeks.“Ha-ha relax, I’m just going to kidnap you for a while, how does that sound.” Ryan said as he threw her a wicked flirtatious smile, accompanied by a
Taking the chilled wine, he poured them both a glass. Taking a toast to each other, the sexual tension in the building kept increasing. Their eyes looking at each other, they looked like they would combust if they did not mate. Swallowing deeply, Ryan stood up and run his hands through his hair. “Screw the plans, I got to have you baby.” He said as he took her in one forceful jerk. He kissed her fiercely against the wall, their lips interlocked in the oldest dances of the world.Holding her by her waist, Ryan run his hands along her supple waist. At this point, he did not even remember the deliberate effort he had made towards making today a special day for Leila. No, the only thing that run through his mind was how pretty she looked and how much he wanted to sink into her warmth. To finally mate with her.Growling softly, he pulled her even closer, trying to get the even closer than possible, melding their bodies into one. She tasted wow, Ryan could
