Chapter 12
ELEIA’S POV
–
Aiden had put on the air , the cool breeze falling on my back feels like heaven after my back rolled through hell fire .
“You okay ?” His voice is soft , full of care as his fingers drag through my hair .
I haven’t moved , I laid still until the burning slowed and went away and afterwards , I just breathed .
I needed to after I screamed my lungs out .
“I’m okay .” I mutter , forcing a small smile onto my face , I don’t even know if he can see me , but I want him to believe me .
“Are you going to climb in bed with me ?”
I sigh , propping myself up onto my elbows and the pain I expected never comes .
My breasts were pressed into the duvet and I reach for my shirt .
He stares at me as I sit up onto my knees , his blue orbs fixed on my breasts as I tug the shirt over my head .
I tug my hair out of my shirt and my dark locks cascade down my back .
“Come here .” Aiden holds his hand out , he always sound so demanding in a soft way , but I know that even if I didn’t want to , he wouldn’t force me .
I take his hand and crawl closer in my knees before our hands let go of each other and I fall into his arm , my head resting on his shoulder .
“I am so sorry .” He breathes out and I smile , genuinely , “You have no reason to say sorry .” I use his words and he chuckles , his eyes glassed over .
“You can’t use my words .” He sucks in a breath and I swing my arm over his abdomen , cuddling into his side .
“I can .” I argue , my eyes falling shut and I relax as the warmth of his body engulfs me , his spicy scent calming me .
“Let me just turn off the light .” He mutters before shifting from beside me and I sigh , turning over and cuddle into the pillow .
The lights turn off , but the light of the moon shines through the light curtains and I can’t help but stare at the beauty .
I haven’t stared at the moon at night in so long .
I use to catch a glimpse whenever it was my turn to take out the trash at night , but this is a whole other level of appreciation towards the night’s natural light .
The way it lights up everything makes my heart warm .
The bed dips behind me and his bare chest presses to my back , his legs spooning mine as they’re folded , “Are you staring at the moon ?” His lips brushes against the shell of my ear .
I nod and he places a k**s on the crook of my neck , heat spreading down my back to my core .
I try to focus on the beauty on the outside of the window , but with his hand sliding up and down my arms as he places k****s from the crook of my neck up to my jaw .
My head automatically goes to the side , giving him more access .
“You taste divine .” He murmurs against my ear , his hot breath making shivers break out all over my skin .
His hand trails from the outside of my arm to my waist , his fingers snaking underneath my shirt .
The warmth of his hand gliding in between my ribs make my body shiver and it gets worse when his fingers slide down towards the waistband of my pajama shorts .
His fingers linger just above the waistband and I suck in a breath , my body flexing , my stomach sucking in .
“Relax .” He breathes out and I want to turn to him , but the way his hard on is pressing into my behind , is erotic .
It makes me want to arch my back , to push my a*s into his groin .
I try to do what he tells me , but I struggle to relax as my breathing speeds up .
His spicy scent engulfs me , my mind hazy as I feel him press into me more .
I chew on my bottom l*p before scooting back , a soft growl escaping his lips as my a*s grinds against his rock hard on .
His hand raises to my h*p and he tugs me even closer to him .
I prop myself up onto my elbow before turning so fast , but his hand slide around my waist as I twist and I climb on top of him .
“Do you want me ?” My bottom l*p pushes out into a pout and his eyes are darker , like the ocean during the storm in the night .
He stares at my lips , his tongue gliding over the top row of his teeth .
He nods and my insides twist in excitement , heat forms in my abdomen and I grin as he uses his hands , that are now resting on my h**s , to rock my h**s back and forth , his hard on making me whimper as the tension between my legs grow .
It’s like a wildfire in my stomach , making my heart race and my body shake .
“I want you so bad .” He grumbles , his voice low and the vibration from his chest makes my chest clench .
“Then have me , I’m right here .” My hands are rested on his abs , my fingers brushing over those sculpted lines .
“I can’t .” He shakes his head and it’s like a bucket of ice water is thrown all over me .
I’m not turned on anymore , I’m not flushed , I’m not excited in the inside anymore .
“Why ?” I frown and I try to drop to his side , to get off his hard on pressing against my clit through this thin fabric .
“Because .” His hand raises from my h*p upward to my waist , all under my shirt .
“It’s not good enough .” I shake my head , my eyes glasssing over with unshed tears .
“Don’t cry .” He shakes his head , his voice stern , his body tensing under me .
“Then let me off .” I croak out , feeling like I’m being used .
Maybe all these alpha’s are the same .
Heartless .
“I like where you are right now .” He grins , but this isn’t funny .
I shake my head , a hot tear rolling down my cheek and his jaw tenses , his fingers digging into my waist as anger radiates off him .
“If you don’t want me , don’t say you do .” I swat his hands off me before I drop to his side , rolling and I turn my back to him .
The anger grows more and more and the tension in the room makes me wish the bed would swallow me whole .
“Don’t be mad…” his hand comes snaking around my waist and with one swift motion , he tugs me against him .
“I am .” I grit out , the need in my heart is more than the need between my thighs .
“Because I won’t f**k you ?” He grits out and my cheeks heat at his straightforwardness .
“Or because I act like I don’t want you ?” He asks when I don’t answer his stupid question .
Of course I am mad about it , he’s my mate . He shouldn’t be able to keep his hands off me and his groin out of me .
I shrug , refusing to answer him and he sighs , his body pulling back from mine , yet still close .
His head appears next to mine and he stares down at me , his ocean orbs boring into the side of my face .
“I don’t want you right now , because when I make love to you the first time…” he inches closer , resting his chin on my shoulder , “I am going to sink my canines right into the crook of your neck .” He blows a breath into my neck , his hot breath fanning the specific space where he would mark me .
“And I will mark you and f**k you intil you see stars and pass out , I want you , but under the full moon in three days .” He whispers , his hard on pressing into my bum .
It takes everything , every ounce of power not to jump his bone right now .
I nod , focusing my gaze on the moon , that’s almost full , but not quite yet .
” So don’t be mad .” His nose nudges my shoulder and I sigh , “Can we just sleep ?” I plead in a soft whisper .
“Are you still mad ?”
“No .” I tell the truth .
I can wait for three days , I can enjoy the few days I have before I become his mate , before I become his Luna and I can spend it with my best friend , my rock , my soldier .
He snuggles into my back and I don’t know how long I stare at the moon , but Aiden’s body relaxes , light snores escaping his mouth and it feels like it’s four am when I fall asleep .
Two hours , two hours I wake up , jolting up in fear as I think I’m late for work but as I turn my head , Aiden is fast asleep , laying with his one arm above his head , his other hand resting on his lower abdomen , his one leg bent , foot to his calf of the straight leg .
I inhale deep breaths , letting it out slowly as I calm myself and my pulse slows down as I calm down .
I head to the bathroom , doing my business before I head out of the room , glancing over my shoulder at sleeping Aiden .
His hair is a mess , his plump lips parted .
I walk out of the room , down the stairs and it feels criminal .
I am not use to being in this house , I feel like I’m still a guest , but I have only been here a day and it’s still weird .
Trotting down the steps , I bump into Stefan on the way down as he comes up .
“Sorry .” I jolt back and his hands grab my arms as he holds me upright .
“Careful , I don’t want Aiden’s wrath for breaking one of your bones .” He chuckles and I roll my eyes , “I don’t break that easy .” I scoff and his hands let go of me .
“Are you hungry ? Need water or something to drink ?” He offers and I shrug , “I’m not hungry .” I confess .
I didn’t eat everyday , I am use to feeling empty on the inside and he nods , “Just don’t leave the house . No one knows you yet .” He warns and I nod before continuing down the stairs .
I find the kitchen and grab a cup from the see through cupboards and fill it with tap water .
I gulp down the liquid , my insides praising me for drinking water and refill again and drink the cup empty .
