“Step away from her right now.” Marcus said, glaring at my wrist that was still in Asher’s possession.
Hearing his voice, Asher let go of me at once and stepped away. Marcus walked toward me and was about to go against Asher when I wrapped my arm around his waist to stop him.
“Marcus, don’t.” I said, but his eyes were pinned on him.
“What did you do to her?” He growled.
Asher held his hands up in defense, “Nothing. I just found her.”
“Then why was she crying?”
“I have no idea. That&rsqu
I felt the soft mattress sink in as Marcus launched me on the bed. A squeal left me then, but I was instantly shut up when Marcus' lips crashed onto mine. He was sprawled across my body, his weight almost crushing me but I didn’t say anything. I let him devour me, the same way I’d been yearning for days. And the day had finally come. An intense feeling filled my chest, threatening to burst. Wrapping my legs around his hips, I pushed him closer towards me.Marcus pulled away from me for a brief while then, perhaps to reposition ourselves, and I took full advantage of it. Sinking my fingers into his shirt, I ripped them apart, revealing his ravenous body underneath. Mirth danced in his eyes upon noticing my desperation, his lips parting with surprise.“Wow.” he said, shrugging the remaining fabric of
Leaning closer toward him, I touched my lips against his. It was my way of sealing the deal with him, a promise that was never to be broken. No matter what came, I knew I would always be by his side. Not even his wrath could drive me away from him, for I knew my love for him knew no bounds. Words would never be enough to convince him of the same, so I realized that only my actions could prove how deeply I felt for him.Deepening the kiss, I slowly relished the feel of his lips against mine. Unlike earlier, when I was hungry to feel him and ravish him with my kisses, I wanted to slow down the pace and be hyper aware of everything that I was experiencing. It was in moments like these that I felt the most connected to him, both body and soul. While rough sex was pleasurable enough, we explored our true potential as a couple only when we made love.
Marcus’ POVWhen I woke up the next morning, my hand was still tucked under Kiara’s body. My face was buried within her hair, my chest hugging her back. I reeled in a deep breath, my lungs filling with her scent that drove me insane every now and then. Realizing that I could afford to spend a few more minutes in bed with her, I snuggled her deeper into the embrace. I felt her slightly twist under my arms, making me loosen my hold around her at once.She turned around to face me, her eyes fluttering open. Her face was still filled with sleep when a lazy smile spread on her face, “Hey.”Her groggy voice triggered an amused smile on my face too, “Go back to sleep. It’s still too early.”
Kiara’ POVI couldn’t remember the last time I saw such a happy smile on Marcus’ face as I was seeing now. I had just drifted into slumber when I sensed a presence above me. As I opened my eyes, his broad shoulders came into my view. His lips were showering tender kisses on the side of my face, his stubble feeling poky under my skin.I lightly moaned as his kisses turned wet, and they traveled to the sensitive spot behind my ear. Through his pants, I could feel his member harden against my abdomen.“You surely know the best way to wake me up.” I mumbled into his ears.I felt his chest rumble against me as he pulled away to reveal a dashing smile. The edges of his eyes
When Marcus asked me to pick out something formal to wear, I had no idea that this was where he planned on taking me.“How do you like your college, darling?” Marcus whispered into my ears after he peeled his hands off of my eyes.I stared at the building with widened eyes, unable to wrap my head around the fact that I was going to be studying here soon. Up until this moment, the idea of college was closer to a dream than a reality. It was the one dream that I’d kept alive for the longest time as it was my portal of exit from all miseries of my life back then.But when Marcus entered my life, that dream had taken a back seat and suddenly he was at the center of my attention. Suddenly, wanting to be with him had become my number one priority, and
As soon as the words left his mouth, I instantly stopped fighting him.Did he say Lucien? What about him?Lucien had not reached out to me yet and didn’t intimate me in the slightest that I should be expecting someone to meet me. In fact, Lucien had no reason to meet me after he left town, since he was pretty angry about how things turned out to be between him and Bella. He had almost given up on her, and it was me that persuaded him to retain some faith and optimism.I tried to come up with some logical explanation to this stranger’s sudden interest in him, but none came to my mind. Could he be a friend of Lucien’s? In that case, it was most likely that he was a vampire too and I was definitely not safe around him.&nb
Marcus’ POVMy blood was boiling.The past hour that Bella spoke to me, revealing everything that had happened to her in the past few weeks, everything that she had kept from me, made me want to drive someone up the wall. And that some was the Lycan King. Never in a million thoughts did I expect he would do such a horrendous thing with my sister.As if abducting her was a lesser crime, he took her forcefully against her wish and marked her. He linked his fate to her and ruined her for every other man. His greed and lust knew no bounds, and I couldn’t dare imagine what else he would have done to her had we not rescued her on time. All these days, Bel
Marcus’ POVAfter enduring a long and unpleasant conversation with Ethan, I made my way back into the house.As I returned from the forest, not only did Ethan convince me to rescue Lucien for the sake of my sister, but also came up with an executable plan to achieve our goal. Bernard had pulled some strings and cracked down the exact location where Lucien was held captive, which helped Ethan come up with a plan. Since this was a mission our pack members would never approve of, we had to make do with very few wolves who were willing to rescue a Vampire.Since it was also a very risky mission with questionable results, Ethan made sure that their safety was given the utmost priority. This was a personal mission more than anything, and none of the pack’s wolves should lose their lif
