NADIA
My eves fluttered open, and darkness overwhelmed me. My breathing hitched while my heart was thudding loudly, and it took a while before I was able to calm my senses.
I was at the Silver Moon pack and not in the basement of my uncle’s house. Calm down.I closed my eyes and let Riley’s scent envelope my senses.I had his shirt on, so it was no wonder I was smelling him.
After we came home, I decided to go to his room so I could rest before dinner, but I didn’t find the clothes we bought there. Maybe it was placed in my bedroom. My heart dropped because I thought we would be sharing a room now, but it looked like I was the only one who wanted that.
After grabbing a shirt from his closet, I walked out of his room with a heavy heart back to my bedroom and found all the paper bags of clothes we bought.
I tried to shrug off the disappointment, but I couldn’t.
In the end, I let it overtake me. Instead of waiting for Riley after I showered I succumbed to my loneliness and laid down until I drifted off to sleep.I wondered what time it was now.
I tried to get up from laying down, only to be held back by something in my stomach. My eyes squinted before they widened when I saw a big figure beside me, his arm laying on top of my body while his one leg was in between my thighs.
No wonder I felt numb when I woke up. There was like a big log on top of me.
But despite his heaviness, I couldn’t keep my lips from curling into a smile. Not just a smile, but a really wide, happy smile that may have reached up to the heavens.
Maybe he missed me. It didn’t matter the reason he came here, I was happy he was here.
I lifted his arm before turning my body around to face him, scooting my face into his naked chest.
Oh, Goddess! This male smelled heavenly. I wondered if I licked his chest if he would feel it and wake up?
I bit my lower lip to suppress a giggle before I stuck my tongue out, and slowly, began running it against the middle of his chest.
Hmmm. Sparks traveled from my tongue down to my core and the excitement of being caught and the way his skin felt against m y tongue were making my pussy clench.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I smelled my own arousal soon.
“What are you doing?” His deep baritone voice echoed around the bedroom, and my body froze. My tongue was still stuck out as I tilted my head up slowly and found my mate staring at me.
Was he angry?
I couldn’t read the emotion on his face. But before I could decide what to do next, his hand reached for my cheek and his finger brushed against the corner of my lips.
“You’re drooling.” He chuckled as I placed my tongue back in my mouth and licked my lips.
“How does it taste?” He asked as if it wasn’t enough embarrassment already that he caught me. He needed to say it out loud.
I swallowed hard before I slammed my face into his chest, and his laughter boomed around the bedroom as his arms slipped under my body and hugged me tightly.I couldn’t help but get infected with his laughter, so we ended up laughing together.I was still trying to catch my breath when he hoisted my body higher so that my face would be parallel with his
“Are you hungry and dreaming I’m something delectable?” His eyes were twinkling, and I wanted to smack his head. He wasn’t letting this question go. What did he want me to say?
“Nadia.. Tongue-tied?” He was still enjoying this. “Show me your tongue.”
“What?” I asked him, confusion written on my face as I looked at him.
“Tongue out, sweetheart.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
I wanted not to obey him, but I just found myself doing what he wanted, sticking my tongue out for him to see.
But my mate has another plan. He leaned his face so close that I ended up closing my eyes before I felt a warm mouth cage around my tongue and started suckling it. I whimpered as my core weakened while I let him suck everything from me.
When I couldn’t take it anymore, I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him, feverishly hard, our lips and tongues fighting for dominance.
My arousal was swirling in the air, and no matter how hard I tried to clamp my thighs together, it didn’t stop my scent from coming out.
Goddess, was it too much to ask if I wanted to have sex with him?
But then, like before, he pulled away from our kiss, making me really annoyed now. He would always pull away and nothing would happen again
What’s wrong with this man? Weren’t males supposed to be the aggressive ones? Because it looked like between the two of us, it was me who wanted more all the time.
“Riley, do you like me or do you just want me here? You just need someone to be with?” I asked him, my tone laced with annoyance.
I pulled away from him and sat up from laying down.
“What are you talking about? I thought I was clear enough when I told you I liked you and I wanted you here?” He was now sitting beside me.
“But why do you keep stopping us from going further? Am I not attractive enough for you?”
“Not attractive? Do you know how many times my dick went hard just by looking at you?” I felt my cheeks burning with his words.
Nadia, you started this. You need to keep going.
“But what’s stopping you?”
“I never had sex with anyone, Nadia.”
“You had sex with me, you fool!”
“But we were both in heat then. This is fucking embarrassing. But I don’t know how to… what the fuck was that word? How to start i t I mean, how to start sex.”
“Foreplay?”
“Yes. I still have to learn how to do that.”
I giggled and leaned my back against the headboard. All the annoyance I felt was wiped away and replaced by amusement.
“So how are you going to do that? How will you teach yourself?”
“I don’t know. I’ll probably watch pom. I can’t go around and ask my men, right?”
I was about to giggle when I saw his expression. He was serious. His eyes were boring deep into mine as if he wanted to read my soul.
“Hey, I don’t have any experience either. So it won’t be bad if we experiment together. No one will say if it’s wrong or not.” I bit my lower lip. Suddenly, I felt nervous.
“I just want to be good enough for you. So you’ll stay.” His voice came out hoarse and I felt goosebumps rising from my skin.
Good enough? Was he blind? Couldn’t he see how perfect he was, except for his temper?
“How long do you want me to stay?”
“Do I have a say in this? I’m not going to force…”
I cut him off before he could finish his statement.
“I’m not asking about me. I’m asking you. How long do you want me to stay?”
“Forever If it’s not too much to ask ” He swallowed hard. His eyes were looking deep into my soul right now, and my own eyes started to water,
Words got caught in my throat. This was what I wanted to hear, and now that he had said it, I didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Nadia…” He cupped my hands in his.
“I asked you for a chance, to take a risk on me, and I mean that. I want you to be my Luna, this pack’s Luna.”
“But the two months? Is it voided? I don’t need to go after two months?”
He tugged at my hands, and my body came along with them before he let them go and wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, “No. Don’t ask me to let you go after two months. If you want the money and the car, I can give you those. But I want a lifetime contract, Nadia,”
I closed my eyes and rested my palms against his chest, a smile curving on my lips as I nodded my head. Damn the car and the money.
“A lifetime contract, I want that.”
“The Luna ceremony is not just a luna ceremony. It is a union between us, a marriage. We don’t need to have it now. I can wait until you’re ready. I just need to understand why you didn’t want to have one.”
I closed my eyes and stopped myself from answering. I would tell him tomorrow, not now. I didn’t want to open up about Andrea and my insecurities about her.
He pecked the crown of my head.
“You had no idea how much I wanted to fuck the hell out of you, but I didn’t want to disappoint you. I don’t know if I can top what I did the first time we did it.”
“I can pretend I don’t remember anything, so we can start from scratch..”
“You’re fucking amazing. Did you know that?”
Oh, Goddess, he knew how to make me melt. How could I top that?
“I thought I was nothing special until I found out I was mated to an Alpha. So maybe I’m amazing…” I sat up straight so I could see his face again.
“You are. And I know you’re extra special because you’re mated to me. I’m a hard case.”
“Hard case? No. You aren’t. I think you’re almost perfect, if not perfect.” I smiled at him, but I saw sadness cross his eyes, but it was gone in seconds. Or I might just have imagined it.
“Can I ask you something?” This is now or never.
“Ask away…” He said in a low voice, his hand brushing the loose strands of hair away from my forehead before his eyes fixed on mine.
“Do you think it’s possible for you to fall in love with me?” I wanted to ask him if he loved me, but I didn’t have the courage to ask him directly. So I have to go this way.
My heart was thudding loudly as I waited for his response. He wasn’t saying anything, and I felt the invisible lump in my throat getting bigger as if it would choke me soon.
And then, I saw it. A smile slowly crept across his face as his eyes beamed.
“Do you love me, Nadia?”
