Mine (Book 1 )

Part 8

Alexandra

Remy and I cheer as we see our lanterns rise. Kyrr, the most excited of us all was the last to join us. "Where were you?" I ask as we watch the next set of lanterns light up the sky. 

"At the Domus Dei" Kyrr shrugs. 

"This late?" I ask and he nods. "Can I ask you for a favour?" 

"Hmm?" he responds. 

"I need an excuse" I whisper. He hums in response listening carefully "To go see him" he looks at me and sighs loudly. He doesn't answer me but continues to help Divvka and Viktor release the lanterns. 

"I forgot to inform you" Kyrr says loudly to me "Prince Hal has requested you stay at the Palace to check on Kaala to make sure she doesn't get hurt tonight" he says and I stifle a smile.

I knock on the door of his quarters and I hear footsteps. "Kaala, inside" I hear his order and open the door. He looks surprised to see me but smiles and opens the door for me. I see Kaala try to peek behind him. I enter and he shuts the doors "You came" he smiles. 

"I hesitated multiple times before giving in" I laugh. 

"I'm glad" he smiles genuinely. "What changed your mind?" 

"I don't know" I crouch down and hug Kaala who leans into my embrace. I laugh when she nuzzles her snout in the nape of my neck. He pulls me flush against him when I stand up. He leans close to my face and smiles slightly gently brushing his lips against mine and pulling away. He looks at me and then leans in again and presses his lips to mine. My hands find their way to gently rest against his chest. I press them against his chest and feel his heart thud against my hand.

His hands move down to my waist pulling me closer to him. I feel his member grow hard as it presses against my stomach. I pull away when I feel the tingles in my core. I pull away and step away from him. "What's wrong?" he asks worried. 

"I ... uh... I can't do this" I say nervously. 

"We can wait" he steps forwards and I step back. 

"No, you don't understand" I shake my head. "What if you leave again? Or have to take a wife?" he sighs loudly. 

"Come here" he holds out his hand and I take it hesitantly. He pulls me close. "Do you trust me?" he asks softly. 

"Yes" I swallow. He clutches onto my hand and guides me through his chambers making me a bit nervous. He moves a brick that opens a secret stairwell. I follow him in and he closes the stairwell. We go up the stairs and when we get to the landing it leads to the roof of the Palace. We see the whole sky still lit with lanterns. 

He leads me to a spot that looks over the complete town. He guides me to sit down and I do. He sits down behind me and places his knees on either side of me. My back pressed against his chest. "Look up" he whispers in my ear and I tilt my head up and see the stars and moon. "You see that?" he points to a constellation of stars. I hum in response. "That's the Gaian wolf." he says softly by my ear "The Gaian royal family is blessed with wolves to protect them, love them and sometimes be them. Wolves are said to be our spirit guides, something that connects us with the Gods. Did you know once a wolf finds its mate, it mates for life?" he asks and I shake my head "They do. There's a belief that Gaians were once wolves and that's why when they love, they love till death do them part" 

"What happens when you find yours?" I ask softly. 

"That's the thing Lex. I already have" I tilt my neck to look at him and his grey orbs bore into mine. "Kaala chooses her for me and she's chosen you" he rests his forehead against mine. I gulp and turn to look at him. "I meant it when I said I keep my promises" 

He leans in and captures my lips with his. I straddle his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls me closer and wraps his arms around me. Our kiss deepens and grows more fervent. His lips leave mine and he traces my jaw with little soft kisses. I let out an involuntary moan when he kisses the nape of my neck. I pull his face back to mine and capture his lips with mine. I feel his member grow from underneath me making me feel things that I have felt only with him before. 

I move my hands all over his chest feeling every inch of it under my fingertips. He takes off his cummerbund and sets it to the side. I look down between us and under the light of the lanterns lighting up the sky, he looked magnificent. Almost god-like. 

He stretches his arms out to hold the edge of my skirt and looks at me as if he was seeking permission. I nod slightly and he pushes it above bunching it at my waist. His hand moves between us and cups me at my core. I moan as I feel the goosebumps rise all over my skin. "Hal.." I moan and his hand moves the fabric that separates his fingers from my core to the side. He smiles against my lips as I breathlessly try suppressing my moans. 

"So wet for me...." he says against my lips and I moan as I silence my moans by kissing him. His fingers move against my slit and make my bud more sensitive. My hand clutches onto his shoulders tight as his fingers move faster against my slit and he inserts one of them in me. 

"Hal.." I moan louder as his fingers pump inside of me. He inserts a second and I feel the feeling rise inside of me. I throw my head back but his other hand guides it back. 

"Open your eyes" he says like a command. I open them and meet his dilated grey orbs. I breathe faster as I feel it tighten at my gut and I feel like I can take no more. His thumb presses my bud and makes circles that increase my sensitivity making me cold and hot at the same time. I feel it tighten more and when I can take no more, I let go and feel waves of pleasure course through me. "Lexie..." he says breathlessly and we're even breathing the same. He takes his fingers out and I feel a sudden loss. His hands move to slide his trousers down and I look between us to see his hard member spring up against his stomach. It was longer and thicker than I remembered. 

My eyes widen at the girth and length of him and I tighten my hold on him. "Hal.." I moan as I move against him. I bite my lower lip as he lifts me slightly and positions himself at my entrance. "Hal.." it almost sounded like a cry. I claw at his back as he slowly pushes into me. I breathe harder and bite down on my lip harder as his length pushes through me. His hand caresses my cheek pushing my hair away from my face and pulling me to kiss him. 

His hands roam all over me over my clothes all the while kissing me and thrusting into me. His hand positions itself at my waist guiding me to move against him. His grunts and my moans move in sync as we meld as one. It was true what Olorr said, if us melding felt like this, I would wants us to meld with each other every lifetime. I placed my hand at the center of his chest and feel his heart beat. 

His hand moves between us again finding my bud and rubbing it faster as I moved faster against his length. Both of us breathless, both of us sweating, both os us grunting and moaning, our souls were one. "Mine" he grunts in my ear as another wave of pleasure rips through me and I feel him shoot his seed into me. He breathlessly holds me against him tighter, wrapping his arms tight around me. His head falls against my shoulder burying his face in my neck. 

We stay like that for a while, caressing each other, our bodies having a secret conversation that we weren't privy to yet. He pulls out of me after a while and he carries me in his arms back into his chambers and lays me down on his bed. I was too exhausted to even put up a fight. He lays beside me and pulls the covers over us. He pulls me against his chest and plants a chaste kiss on my forehead. 

His fingers trace mindless patterns on the back of my hand. Sleep consumes me as I lay in his arms. I wake up to a nuzzle and open my eyes to see Kaala's blue eyes. "Kaala!" I gasp and she continues to nuzzle. I try to sit up and a heavy arm hold me down. I turn to see him peacefully asleep. "Hal" I nudge him "Hal" I nudge him again. He opens his eyes and they lock with mine. "I need to get out of here, before anyone sees me" 

He says nothing but leans forward and kisses me. I kiss back but the sunlight reminds me again and I pull away."Take Kaala out with you and say you had to bring her out if anyone asks" he says sleepily "I'll see you for tea" he kisses me again and turns on his stomach and sleeps again. 

" Kaala, come" I say to her and she follows me out the Palace.
