“Yes, Ly. That's it. Just like that,” he groaned as if he was in pain. I reached around and grabbed his arse cheeks, and brought him closer.Alex started thrusting as I sucked on him. He took a fistful of my hair in his hand and started controlling my mouth as he tried to show me how he preferred it. He rocked on his heels again, and he thrust a little harder.From that, I could tell he was getting close.My scalp hurt, and my mouth ached; however, I didn't stop. I wanted him to feel so much pleasure. He would think of me for days to come. Though I didn't know how to pull that off well, I knew I could do it should I put my mind to it. I sucked him harder. My mouth expertly worked on him as my hand palmed his ball. Despite his urge for me to stop, he thrust into my mouth, harder than he had ever done. With a loud grunt, his shaft began to twitch in my mouth. I continued to suck on him as if he were the most delicious dessert I'd ever tasted.It was surprising how natural it felt to b
I slept off, and by the time I woke up. It was already late. I got ten missed calls from Viktor, and a text asking if I was okay. Yawning, I rose from the couch, and the blanket on my body fell to the floor. Frowning, I glanced around.“You are awake?” Alex smiled. “I wanted to wake you, but I figured you needed to sleep more.” He drew up from his chair. “I wiped you down while you were asleep and dressed you. I don't know if you still smell of me, but here.” He gave me a bottle of perfume. “It will help you conceal my scent.” I took the perfume from him. “Thanks.” I forced the word out. Somehow, appreciating him didn't sit well with me. “Anytime.” He smiled at me. “Do you want me to drive you back?” “Not at all. I can do that.” I got up from the couch. “My father must be looking at me. He called and sent messages to me.” “Can I come with you?” He looked reluctant to part with me. “You can drive and I will —”“Why do you want to go with me?” I lifted a suspicious brow at him. “Wha
ALEXANDER I should have known I wouldn't be able to change his mind easily. You would have thought fucking him senseless would make him crave my touch, but that wasn't the case. It seemed like the more I tried to get him to fall for me, the more difficult it became. I followed him out of the office, making certain to put enough distance between us to avoid getting my ears bitten off by him. I couldn't afford to piss him off any more than I had done. He entered his car and drove off without looking my way, even though he could tell I was following him. I stood there and watched him leave before I walked over to my car. I didn't drive home straight. Marcus sent me on a mission before I got a call from my employees, so I drove over to the location they gave me, knowing I might be late. There was no way someone would stay at the same spot waiting for me. I reached the house only to frown when I saw a familiar car parked in front of the building. Puzzled, I killed the engine and got o
“You don't smell like it's just a chance meeting. You spent time with him, didn't you?”“We had a boxing match.” I turned to Max, who was leaning on the car. “Complete the check on the bars and get back to me.”“Alright, boss.” Bowing to me, he walked back to his car and got in. “Why are you always smelling like him?” Marcus asked, bringing my focus back to him and reminding me I was conversing with him before I sent Max out to prevent him from listening to our conversation. “It's not my fault that I always run into him whenever I leave. It's getting suspicious, almost as if Viktor has something up his sleeves.”Marcus frowned. He looked as if he didn't believe me, but he nodded after a while. “I had the maids prepare dinner. You can either eat at home or have your chef cook your meals. I'm out. There's something I need to take care of tonight.”“Huh? What's that? You didn't mention anything to me.” “It's unnecessary.” He turned and walked back to the house without saying anything
“I don't know what it is.” He was still stubborn. The defiant expression on his face alone told me he wasn't backing down without a fight. His fighting spirit was the reason I kept him alive. I would have long gotten rid of him like I did to his comrades, but I didn't. Not only did I wish to get some pieces of information from him, but he looked like it would be fun to deal with him.“I want to know about Maximo,” I said, my eyes narrowing. “Why did he attack the Kael's family and not mine?”Aside from the information I got about Maximo being the mastermind behind everything, I hadn't gotten anything else from the men. The only reason I wanted to know more about Maximo was my desire to know my enemies before venturing into the unknown.I know I took Aithan to that bar three nights ago to tail him, but I had no intentions of doing anything to him. I only brought Aithan over, so I could get the chance to touch him, under the guise of going on a mission with him. The man's expression c
The minute I entered my car, my phone dinged with a message. I swiped it, thinking it was a text from Marcus, only to sit up faster when I saw Aithan's name. “Where are you? I need your help," his text read, causing all the blood to drain from my face at the urgency of the text. Wasting no time, I dialled his number. My heart thumped loudly in my chest as his phone rang. I couldn't help the fear that took over at the thought of something happening to him. Aithan would never send a message like this if it wasn't critical. I might not know much about him, but I knew enough.He answered on the second ring. “Aithan? Where are you?” I asked, without waiting for him to speak. The thumping of my heart increased as I waited for a response from him. “I need your help.” His voice was low and tired, sending a shiver of worry down my spine. I'd never heard him sound like this. My Aithan had never spoken to me this way. I had gotten used to hearing him yell at me."What's wrong? What happened?
I released his hands that I kept captive over his head, and I kissed him, softly at first, before I deepened the kiss, biting him in the process. He moaned as he wriggled under me, tangling his hand in my hair as he brought my face closer. Our tongues tangled in a game of supremacy, which I won in a few seconds. It was as obvious as day that he was just playing. I broke up from the kiss and kissed him on his lips, cheeks, and jaw before I started kissing down his body. I sucked on his neck as I tried to retract my elongated canines. The urge to permanently mark him and make him mine was too strong for me to resist, but I had to stop myself before I made a lasting mistake.He still didn't know we were mates. I couldn't afford to mark him against his will. It would only make him hate me. He gasped when my fangs scraped the side of his neck where my mark would be, should I decide to make him mine. “I need you, Alex. My body is too hot,” he wriggled under me as he tried to remove his
I didn't stop until I heard him cry before he climaxed. His cum hit the inner walls of my mouth as I swallowed it all letting no go to waste. I loved the sweet taste of his cum. It didn't taste as bad as I always thought a man's cum would be. I liked it and even looked forward to having a taste each time.His heat must have been heavy for him to climax after a few bobs of my head. It made me wonder how long he had tried to tough out his heat before he called me. Obviously, he didn't ask for my help when he realized he was in heat. He fucking went to a woman when he had me! He didn't even let me know until he couldn't control his heat.I tried not to be petty, but it was difficult not to do that. If only he didn't tell me about it. It would have been better. I wouldn't have even minded that at all, but he didn't keep that information to himself. He told me about it as if he wanted to rub it in my face, to let me know he could always get any woman of his choice whenever he wanted. Sta
AITHAN It was a long two days for me. Alex didn't call me, something I was expecting from him. It made me feel lost. I believed he would try to reach out to me, to beg me to take him back, but he didn't. I didn't hear from him, neither did the men I sent to stalk him find him. It seemed like he disappeared after I left his casino. “What's going on with you?” Pink frowned, coming over to my side. “You have been out of it since we left. Are you certain you can pull this off?” “Yeah, I'm good.” I nodded absent-mindedly. Truthfully, I wasn't feeling it at all. Going on this mission was the last thing I wanted. Viktor believed it would help me snap out of the daze I had been in for days now, but I doubted that. I just wished to see Alex. It was the only cure for my depression.I wouldn't mind defying Viktor if that meant I could see him. I just wanted to know how he was doing. I needed to see him smile at me, to tell me everything would be okay. “No, you are not.” Pink shook his head,
“Pardon?” I blinked, confused by his words. Though my head still hurts like hell, I wanted to know what he was talking about. He sounded mysterious, unlike the man I know. This wasn't like him.“Don't worry about it. You need to regain your strength. There's much to do and so much I need to tell you.” He uncrossed his arms and walked over to me to help me up from the floor.“What happened to me? Why was I in the holding cell? What of my mother? Why does it seem like I have forgotten a major part of my memory?” I asked the questions at once, desperate to know what was happening. I needed answers, fast.“I will tell you about this after you have your rest, okay?” He effortlessly lifted me from the floor. “For now, you need to regain your strength. There are so many things to do, and people to teach lessons.”I wanted to protest, to demand he tell me what was happening, but I didn't. I just let him help me into the house and towards my room. As we walked up the stairs, I couldn't help bu
ALEXI blinked, looking around the cell in confusion. What was I doing here? I tried to rise, but my legs protested. It seemed like something hard was holding them down, preventing me from rising.As I struggled to sit up again, I took stock of my surroundings. The cell was small and sparse, with stone walls and a single, barred window high up on one wall. A thin, straw-filled pallet was the only furniture in the room.I let out a deep sigh as I tried once more, wondering where my father was. More importantly, was how I ended up in such a place. I couldn't even remember anything. It felt like I had been asleep for a long time as the only memories I had were of my mother dying. The memory was vivid in my mind as if it had happened a few hours ago. I could still feel the pain of her death, and the ache it left in my heart when the warehouse went up in flames. I was helpless. I couldn't save my mother. In the back of my mind, there was this nagging feeling that I somehow caused her dea
He smirked, a knowing glint in his eyes. He didn't respond to my words immediately, but the way he looked at me made me feel uncomfortable. “Where are the papers?” I asked, ready to sweat it out if it was the only way I could get him to provide the papers. “There.” He gestured to his desk, and he stood back, with his arms still folded and that suspicious glint in his gaze. I frowned as my gaze went to the papers before it returned to him, stunned. This wasn't what I expected him to do. I thought he would put up a fight, try to waste my time or anything. I just wasn't expecting him to give the papers up without a fight or a major argument. “You are giving them to me? Just like that?” “Why? Isn't that what you want? You can take the papers and leave. Your slutty beta is waiting for you.” He wrinkled his nose in disgust.I ignored his snide remarks and walked over to his desk to pick up the documents. As long as I had the papers with me, it was all that mattered. I reached over and
ALEXANDER Our property was devoid of any soul when I drove into the compound. There were no guards at the gate to usher me in. I had to get out of the car, to be scanned before the gates opened, something that hadn't happened before. I was puzzled as I glanced around, wondering what was going on. This was almost like how the compound was this morning. However, unlike this morning when there were guards by the gate and Max to welcome me, there was no one out here. I shook off all the thoughts that tried to take over, to make me forget why I returned to the house. With another glance around the empty compound, I quickened over to the door. Thankfully, it wasn't locked. Which could mean our butler was in there or the cook. I couldn't be more grateful for that. I stepped into the house and hastened over to my room where I got the papers I needed. All the documents for the properties I owned were in my room except the one for the bar I got when Marcus sent me to complete a task. It was
AITHANIt hurts. So damned much. I couldn't tell how many hours I drove around the city, trying to clear my mind from the guilt and pain I got from the breakup before I decided to return home. I didn't know it would hurt like this. If I did, I wouldn't have broken up with him. No. Separating was the right choice. I shook my head, trying to dispel it from the thoughts that wanted to take over. I knew staying with Alex wasn't an excellent decision, or else I wouldn't have been affected by this just like I was. All it took was breaking up with him for me to feel like a considerable chunk of my heart had been removed from my body. The nearer I got home, the more convinced I became I made the right decision. However, I couldn't bring myself to call him, not after the hurtful words I said to him. Not only that, but I ignored his calls. “Aithan, what's wrong with you?” I whispered to myself as I stared ahead. It had now gotten dark, showing how long I had driven around to clear my mind.
ALEX“Fuck!” I slammed my fist on the desk, making the wood reverberate with the force of my anger. Yet, it didn't sate me. “Fuck!” I cried out, my voice echoing off the walls of my office. I felt like my heart had been ripped out forcefully and trampled under people's feet. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Aithan's words lingered in my mind, cutting deep into my soul. The thought sent a wave of rage coursing through my veins as I tried to regulate my breathing, but it wasn't easy. I couldn't think of a life without him. These past few days with him made me rely fully on his warmth, and on my mate, who knew nothing about our bond. I felt so fucking dead. He hadn't been gone for up to a minute, but it felt like he had been gone forever, leaving a void too big to be filled behind.“No!” I screamed, placing both hands on my head, to stop it from splitting from the pain.With a sudden burst of fury, I swept my arms across the desk, sending papers and pens flying. I kicked ove
“Let's do what??” Alex's eyes widened in shock, and he took a step back as if I had physically punched him. “What do you mean?” he asked, his voice shaking slightly as he tried to hold my gaze, but I averted it. “Why are you saying this?” This time his tone was low. “It's just…” I drew a deep breath, trying to steel myself for the conversation. "I mean it, Alex. We can't be together anymore. My father…he knows about us. He saw a picture of us together."“A picture?” He repeated as his face fell, and he looked as if I dumped the worst news on him. “How did he…? Never mind. What did he say to you?”“It doesn't matter what he said. What matters is that he knows, and he will not let us be together. We have to end this, Alex. For our good.” I forced a smile. “You can have my mark removed if that's what's bothering you. We don't belong to each other. We are only together to —”“No!” He growled. Alex's eyes flashed with anger, and he took a step closer to me. “I won't let you do this. We ca
Alex called me the minute I got to my room. It was as if he were keeping watch on me to know when I would be alone. Letting out a frustrated sigh at the flash of his name on my screen, I answered the call.“Hello?” I yawned, stretching my muscles. The conversation with Viktor drained me more than I thought it would.“Aithan, where are you?” He sounded urgent, a tone that I would never associate with him. Alex had always kept his cool with me unless he was confessing his love for me.“At home. Where else?” I plopped down on my bed, the soft mattress enveloping me in its comfort. “What's wrong? Why did you call? Don't tell me you missed me?” I lifted a brow, a hint of amusement dancing in my voice.“I do, but it's not that. I have something to tell you. Can you meet me at my casino in a few?”“Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you.” I got up from the bed. “Your call couldn't have come at a more perfect time.”“Okay. See you then.”He disconnected. I pocketed my phone before
