You Rejected Me. Remember?

Astrea

“You are what?”

His cheeky grin told me that he was up to some mischief. He was still holding me in place. I squirmed trying to break free. Not that I wanted to. I didn’t. I desired to be with him. I wanted to spend the whole day with him, in his arms, in the warmth of his body.

However, I believe that we should.

“I’m still wet…” I trailed off when I realised what I was saying. My lips parted and my heart raced as I gazed into his eyes. His grin didn’t falter as he kept on staring at me.

“Umm…” I gulped. Ignoring my frantic heart to the best I could, I ran my tongue over my lips.

“I mean,” I breathed out. “I need to wipe my body. I… still haven’t wiped the water off properly.”

The palpitations of my heart were violent. I could literally feel it thumping in my chest. His grin slowly vanished, and his eyes darkened with l**t as he eyed the exposed part of my shoulders and chest.

“Hmm… but I like it when you get wet,” his low toned voice did something to me. My chest heaved. Apparently, my body wanted him… no… needed him. My body needed my mate. We needed his touch.

My mouth watered. Yes. Our parents could wait.

He ran his index finger on the side of my face, down my neck, over my collar bone, and on the chest where I had tied my towel. The sparks of the mate bond were exploding like fireworks and his scent was pulling me into a reverie. I had stopped fighting against them and slowly I was consumed by the incredible mate bond.

It was what my body and soul needed.

“Me too,” Ash purred. “I was worried that he might give in and leave,” she admitted.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Our parents…”

“Oh, come on. They know what we are. They most probably would be expecting this to happen,” she rolled her eyes.

My inner conversation with my wolf was interrupted when Leo grabbed a fistful of my hair, making me look into his eyes. His face was mere inches away from mine. I thought he was going to k**s me again, but he was taking his sweet time.

His other hand slowly moved towards my bum. I jolted, and our bodies squeezed together when he gave my a*s a little squeeze.

Both of us were breathing heavily. Our hearts were pounding together. I gazed into his face and realised what it meant to be soulmates. We were one. We were a fraction of each other. I rested one hand on his rock-hard chest, involuntarily tracing his nípple. He sucked in a sharp breath as I did so.

Oh, so that affected him. I smirked. I liked that he reacted to my touch like that. My lips stretched further, as I brushed my fingers on his nípple again. His jaws clenched.

“Woman,” he let out a low growl. “You will be the death of me.”

He pulled me closer, making me gasp as I felt his need poking my lower abdomen.

“Don’t you want this, Rea?” his whisper was powerful enough to quake my core. I shifted on my feet and realised that I was wet… for real.

His gaze burnt into mine. I felt bold. Determined, “is that even a question?” I asked and let go of the towel I had wrapped around my body. I dropped it onto the floor. Just when I thought his eyes couldn’t turn any darker, it did.

“Damn,” he inhaled.

He eyed my breasts, slowly inclining towards them. He didn’t touch them and I was dying to feel his hands on them. Anxiously lícking my lips, I wondered why he was taking his time.

“Just touch them already,” I m****d, unable to remain silent anymore.

He obeyed at once. One of his hands cupped one breast while he started to suck on the other. The hair on the back of my neck rose.

“s**t!” I wheezed, resting my head against the wall. I never thought it would feel so good. My nervousness gradually decreased.

He felt so good… so right…

I had only heard stories of how pleasurable it was. If he felt so good up here, I wondered how good it would be down there.

I had my eyes closed, enjoying the blissful moment while he swirled me around so that I was leaning against him while he used his hands. His other hand soon found its place in between my legs and his fingers started to work their magic on me. My eyes flung open. Where did he learn how to do that? I wondered.

“Don’t. Say. A. Word!” Ash’s warning resounded in my mind, before I voiced my query. “Save the questions for later,” she added, and retreated to the back of my mind.

I bit my lower l*p as he fondled my core. I didn’t want to m**n loudly. I wanted to be as silent as I could, but it was hard.

“You’re right, mate. You’re wet,” his husky whisper made me shudder in his arms. I arched my back. When his fingers brushed over a certain bundle of nerves, waves of pleasure coursed through my frame. I squeezed my eyes shut and let the wonderful surges course throughout my body.

I wouldn’t lie. I did touch myself in the past. But that felt nothing like what Leo did for me.

“f**k, Leo,” I gasped, as beads of sweat formed on my forehead.

“Do you like that?” He asked, nudging my ear lobes using his nose.

Gasping, “hell yes!” I managed to whimper.

I looked at him.

“You are so hot,” his eyes were still darkened with passion. He crashed his lips on mine, devouring them in a hungry k**s. When I least expected, he inserted one finger inside me.

I winced, but he didn’t allow me to break the k**s. It was painful, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Soon, the pain died down. He broke the k**s and scanned my face.

“L… Leo…” a breathless whisper was all I could utter.

“Sorry,” he whispered into my ear, holding me against him.

I gulped. “No. It’s okay… I want this,” I told him.

My thoughts suddenly drifted back to the dreadful nights I had to spend in Calvin’s lair. He had attempted to mate with me, yet thankfully, he was unsuccessful. Either I kicked his crotch, or he had to leave sooner than he wanted to because of his followers.

If I was going to lose my virginity, I wanted to lose it to Leo, my mate and the love of my life.

“Are you sure?” He asked.

I nodded.

He stroked his fingers inside me, making sure that I enjoyed it.

“Mine,” he growled, as he kissed my marking spot, sending my emotions into a frenzy. My breathing was ragged and my legs started to feel like jelly. Perhaps he realised that I wouldn’t be able to walk on my own. He picked me up and carried me to bed. I glanced at the bulge in his shorts. It had been poking my back for a long time. He had done so much for me and it was my turn to make him feel good.

“Wait,” I told him. He watched me scoot over to the edge of the bed, his lecherous gaze burning into me.

“What are you going to do?” he asked when I tugged at his shorts.

Smirking, “you’ll see,” I mumbled.

I was right. He was aroused. I gulped down my anxiousness and closed my eyes as I took his length into my mouth.

“Fúck…” he hissed as I took as much of his shaft into my mouth.

I almost gagged, but I was determined to make him feel good. He g*****d. Was it working? I hoped it was.

I quit when I felt like choking. Embarrassed, I climbed onto the mattress.

“That felt so good,” he voiced, surprising me.

“It did?” That wasn’t expected. I thought I had failed. Perhaps he liked it because he hadn’t had such an experience before.

“Yeah,” he said as he climbed on top of me. “Now I can’t wait to find out how you feel down there,” he whispered.

It was my first time and I was anxious, yet, I spread my legs, allowing him to enter.

I sucked in a sharp breath, as his length broke the hymen. I thought I had seen stars but soon the pain resided and was replaced with pleasure… a new kind of pleasure. A satisfaction only my mate can give me. He started to move, slowly at first, allowing me to adjust to his length. I g*****d.

What was that feeling? So strange… So right… So good…

Every inch of my body was under his spell. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I m****d. Leo was undoubtedly enjoying the moment.

“Damn it, mate,” he grunted as he pumped in and out.

“Fúck,” he hissed.

Waves of fulfillment flowed through my body. I was in another world with him. A world where only satisfaction existed.

I didn’t realise that I was moaning a bit too loud when he crashed his lips on mine while plunging into me. After a brief k**s, he looked at me and chuckled.

“Are you trying to alert everyone?”

“Shut up,” I whispered in between my gasps of breath.

I can’t be held responsible for losing control. My mate felt just too good. He picked up his pace, grunting. I winced. It was still painful… but not in a bad way. I liked it. I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my lips as I felt that I was reaching my climax.

“L… Leo… Leo!” I cried out. I couldn’t hold it in. I just couldn’t.

The sound of our skin slapping, m***s, and grunts reverberated in the room.

“Damn it, Rea,” he g*****d. I felt him lower himself on me and hold my arms. I was trapped under his weight. Not that I had any complaints.

But when his canines pierced my marking spot, my eyes flung open. Just like before, the pain was soon replaced with immense pleasure. He wasn’t in a hurry. He took his time, making sure that his essence was injected into my system while he released his seeds.

He retracted his canines and licked the raw mark clean.

“Mine,” he asserted.

My lips curled in a smile. I was his. We sealed the bond.

He pulled away and sat on the mattress, gasping for breath. We did it. I let out a breathy chuckle. I never thought anything could be sensitive and pleasant at the same time.

“That… was the most… painfully pleasurable thing… ever…” I wheezed.

He remained silent for a while, satisfaction radiating from him. However, his countenance changed.

Wincing, “s**t,” he breathed out, making me glance at him.

“We forgot to use doms.”

I blinked. “Doms?”

Scratching the back of his neck, “condoms,” he mumbled.

“Where did he take you?” Leo asked. He kept tracing my shoulder blade as I lay in his arms on my bed.

After mating for the first time, and accepting the fact that neither of us remembered about contraception, we decided to rest for some time. We didn’t need to get to know each other. We grew up together and we knew everything about each other. Even the most embarrassing secrets… well, almost everything.

“He called it his lair. I don’t know its location. He had told me that no one would be able to find it because it was concealed using magic,” I looked at him.

“So is that the reason why we weren’t able to locate you?” He asked.

Shrugging, “maybe,” I replied.

He paused for a while. “I… I saw an infected mark on your neck…” he trailed off, as though he was reluctant.

I pursed my lips. The nasty memories of that night flooded back. I shuddered.

“Yeah,” I gulped. “He… he had formed a bond with me using b***d and magic… and on the night of the b***d moon, he tried to claim me…”

I trailed off, flinching.

Leo growled. I felt his arm wrap tighter around me, making me sigh.

“But my wolf rejected that mark,” I told him, “and now I’m yours… forever.”

I glanced at him. He seemed to relax, yet he wasn’t completely satisfied.

“Of course. You’re mine and I trust you. But how and when did he make a bond with you using b***d?” He was frowning.

“Umm… I kind of…” I heaved a deep breath. “There is something I didn’t tell you about.”

He went rigid.

“Okay,” he sounded solemn.

“Months ago, before my eighteenth birthday, I… kind of ran into the forest against dad’s guidance. Rogues were sighted in the packland and they went to chase them away. I was adamant and kind of…”

“You followed them?”

I shook my head.

“I ran into the woods all by myself,” I told him.

Clicking his tongue, “Astrea! You could have gotten killed!” he exclaimed.

“Yeah… I heard a lot of words from everyone,” I laughed anxiously.

“But… but there is more,” I gulped. “I didn’t tell anyone about this. I got caught and…”

“They performed the ritual on you,” his eyes dilated as he finished my sentence.

I thought it would be awkward to face my parents after ditching the breakfast and coupling with my mate instead. It wasn’t. Perhaps I should say that the circumstances weren’t in favour.

After learning my little secret, Leo insisted that we should tell them everything. I was sure that my parents were forcing themselves to hold back from scolding me after hearing about what had happened that night.

I was foolish to keep it a secret. Ava tried to detect any traces of dark magic in me. However, when she didn’t, she decided that it was clear. Perhaps the spell was broken.

At least I hoped that it was broken.

“I see that you have marked her. Wouldn’t that be enough?”

Leo’s dad, beta Nolan, started. I felt my face heat up, but I didn’t hide behind my mate.

“Let’s hope so?” Leo sighed.

It was already time for lunch and we were about to eat when the royal couple froze on their spot. Their eyes clouded and from their demeanour, we knew that they were receiving an urgent mindlink.

Sir Elliot looked at his wife, appalled.

“What happened?” Ava asked.

“Natasha has escaped,” she uttered, and Leo laid a protective hand around me.

Escaped? Was she locked up?

Confused, I looked around. Everyone seemed to be alarmed.

“What’s going on?” I voiced my thoughts.
