ALEISTERI haven’t felt so good in a long time. Every cell in my fucking body feels sated. I shift to my back and pat the spot beside me. The good mood goes down the drain because she is not there. My eyes shoot open to land on the ceiling of her room. This is disastrous. A King shouldn’t fall asleep in someone else’s room. Leaving after fucking is important. But, I can’t even bother with that. Did she fucking dump me after we had the best fuck of my life? I sit up and scan the room. Surprise crosses my face when I find her soft hair poking out from behind the couch. I stare at the Golden strand. She is not fine. She still needs to get held down so she can sleep on the bed and not on the cold floor. I climb out of the bed, grab my pants from the floor, and wear them before strolling to her. She has her knees to her chest, her face pressed into them tightly. Her hair flows down her bare arms and back. What makes my heart twist is the way she is trembling. She looks so small and
AVERY I make a bun of my hair and turn on the shower. Limping to the bathroom was already a grave task and now this cold water is making my head spin. To think that idiot King told me foolish things last night and then disappeared…Ha? What was he thinking? Stupid liar! I grimace and run my hands down my skin. It feels like a dozen horses trampled over my body, leaving me battered. “ Way to go, Avery Landric. ” I mumble in a hoarse and close my eyes. My throat hurts. I am equally stupid to not even regret what we did last night. He was like an unrestrained animal, out to devour me. And I just let him. He won’t really keep his word and come back for more, right? I blink and freeze. Is he done with me now? Does it mean that— I gasp as large hands sneak on my stomach. I get tugged back into a hard front and shudder. “ What are you doing out of bed? ” He lowers his head and whispers into my ear huskily. “ I should be asking you that. ” I blurt, my taut muscles relaxing instant
AVERY“ You know what happened between us. ” I remind him, sensing his body becoming rigid. “ I know it’s my fault for going to that bar and sleeping with a stranger when I was promised to you. But I was drunk, and you were my mate. The attraction I felt towards you was not something I could avoid, Aleister. I doubt I would have slept with anyone else. I didn’t plan to. I just…wanted to be free one last time before I was shipped away. ”Aleister’s fingers curl around my hand, offering silent comfort. I look down before closing my eyes.“ After I came here, you didn’t treat me like a mate. I found out that you plan on attacking my brother despite making a promise and my trust broke. A Lycan King who can not keep a promise…how can I trust him? That’s what I thought. ” My body shudders as he tightens his hold around my waist.“ You know the secrets now. Whenever I lose control on the full moon, everyone connected with me by blood can feel the surge of my emotions, Princess. Amelia is my
AVERY “ I like the sea. ” I hum, a subtle smile lifting the corners of my lips. “ Why? Do you want to drown yourself to death? ” Aleister wonders. I choke on my breath, surprise making me feel dumb for a second. “ W—What? ” “ You seem to be attached to everything that brings you pain. ” He states as a matter of fact. “ Why do you think so? ” My nose wrinkles. “ You like your family and friends, and that traitor of a maid you have with you. ” He rests his chin on my shoulder and turns to face me. “ You like me too. And you like fighting people you shouldn’t fight. ” “ When did I say that I like you? ” I shudder in his arms and avoid meeting his eyes. “ Don’t you? ” He kisses my cheek, sending another shockwave of electricity down my spine. “ N—No. ” I blink innocently. “ No? ” His voice lowers. My heart races in my chest. Aleister nibbles on my neck, earning a startled breath from me. “ Be honest, Princess. You like my cock in your pussy. You like it when I am close. You lik
AVERY“ You must be missing your fiance. ” Aleister grumbles under his breath.I sigh, grip the edges of the tub, and lift myself. He frowns, loosening his grip on me. I turn around in the water and settle down into his lap again.Instinctively, Aleister’s hands are on my back pulling me into his chest. “ Now you know how I feel when you talk about your other women. ” I state as a matter of fact.A dangerous glint flashes across his eyes, “ I told you— ”“ I know you didn’t touch them, Aleister. ” My hands rest on his shoulders. “ And you know I have never touched a man except you either. Tyson was my fiance and I thought I would end up with him but that didn’t happen. And I am here now. ”“ So you wanted to spend your life with him? ” His expressions seem to be becoming worse.Aleister looks like a sulking child and a raging beast at the same time. I don’t know how to tackle this grave situation.My shoulders slump as I sneak closer to him. “ I don’t want to lie to you. I thought ab
AVERY“ You can go. ” Aleister turns to the Healer.I breathe a sigh of relief and tighten my hold over the knot that is keeping the towel wrapped around my body.“ Yes, My King. ” The woman quickly saunters out of the room and closes the door behind her.“ What was that all about? ” My nose wrinkles.“ Spread your legs. ” Aleister stares at me.“ Hmm? What? ” I blink in confusion.“ You heard me. Spread your legs, Princess. ” He smirks, slowly approaching me.My heart misses a beat. I gulp and clench my thighs tightly.“ Don’t even think about it. You know I am fine. ” I huff.“ I don’t know. You keep wincing whenever I touch you. ” Aleister shrugs.I look into his eyes to find the playfulness replaced with concern. I sit up in the bed and dangle my legs down the edge.“ Trust me. It’s not that serious. I am just…not used to anything like this. ” My voice lowers towards the end.“ I still have to take a look. ” Aleister comes to stand in front of me, his knees touching mine slightly.
AVERYMy hands shoot towards his head but he catches them mid-air and slams them beside me on the bed. He holds my wrists by my side firmly. “ It’s only right that I kiss it better. ” His voice is like a sinful whisper of the devil, drawing me deeper into the claws of ecstasy.A knot forms deep inside me. The gentle strokes of his tongue continue, causing a fire to erupt in my body. I am not even breathing anymore. I am tuned into that sensation, so close to exploding.“ You are perfect like this, Princess. So fucking beautiful. ” He murmurs and sucks.I sink my teeth in my lower lip as the pleasure finally explodes. My thighs shake violently. The remnants of last night’s session seem to be lingering in my core as my muscles convulse.Aleister licks my tightening walls and sucks on the sensitive spot until I am whimpering again.“ Easy. ” He coaxes, his hand moving to my stomach which is still tight with the release.I fist my hands while struggling to catch my breath. My legs close
AVERY “ What spell did you cast on him?” Draven rolls his eyes.“ Why are you always like this?” My nose wrinkles as I check myself out in the mirror’s reflection.I still can’t find myself beautiful but Aleister’s voice keeps ringing in my ears, telling me that I am.“ Tell me your secret? ” He says, sitting on the wingchair in the corner.“ I have no secret.” I am just in a great mood today.I feel like humming, and skipping on my feet. There is this giddy feeling in my stomach that continues to make me smile.“ Then is it because of the mate bond that Leister can’t think straight when it comes to you?” He suggests, his eyes twinkling under the lights of my room.My hands that are reaching for my hair, freeze in the air. The silly smile on my lips drops.Does it mean that Aleister only likes me because I am his mate?I frown, my mood instantly turning sour.But...I am his mate for a reason, right? Moon Goddess never pairs up people that don’t truly belong with each other.“ Where i
