The Desert Alpha's Mate

CHAPTER 43-ARGUS

"Argus," Lady Lina's voice calling his name outside his chamber awoke Argus from his slumber. "Are you awake?" she asked.

"I am, My Lady," he answered in a slightly throaty tone. Thinking that Lady Lina might need something important, he immediately stood up and opened the door.

Lady Lina didn't ask for his invitation or consent, she immediately entered his chamber once the door was opened. He was taken aback by what she did but didn't show it. Instead, he just swiftly swept his eyes outside.

"My Lady, what are you doing?" he asks, his voice just above a whisper. He remained for a few seconds at the door, checking if anybody saw Lady Lina going inside his chamber. When he saw no one, he immediately closed the door.

"C'mon, get ready. You will accompany me to the tavern at the capital. We will check how the business is going and I have an important person that I will meet there today," Lady Lina said to him once she was inside. She didn't answer his question. She just went and sat comfortably in one of the mejlises inside his chamber, oblivious to his concern.

"You could ask the omega that was assigned to you to relay that message," Argus said in a firm voice. He couldn't help to get irritated at her lack of concern for her safety.

Lady Lina's brow raised because of what he said. She look at him quizzically, "Am I not allowed to say it personally to you, Argus? I just wanted to see your face this morning," she said.

"It's not that. You know how dangerous it is for us if someone finds out about you coming here to my chamber unattended. I am just worried for you," he said to the lady while watching her every move. She seemed unbothered by his concern. Instead, she just stared at him like he was a specimen under her gaze. The way she looked at him was turning him on. She was already beautiful, but she seemed more alluring in his eyes this morning. Having her in his chamber was a risk. Argus was just controlling his urge to launch at the woman before him. He knew what she wanted and why she came into his chamber, but he needed to be in control between the two of them. 'We are not in our clan land,' he thought, reminding himself.

He waited for her to speak. A few seconds had passed and she didn't say anything. She was just sitting comfortably in a majlis while looking at him. Her eyes were saying it all, what she was waiting for and wanted him to do. The lust in her eyes while raking her gaze over his body was the confirmation of what he thought. "If you don't have further instructions, my Lady, I am going to change and get ready," he said, slightly coughing. Clearing the lump in his throat and trying to control the reaction of his body to her gaze.

"Go on and get changed," Lady Lina said, unbothered. She reached for the shay that was prepared by an omega beforehand. She poured it into one of the cups beside the pot and then took a sip on it.

"Are you going to stay and wait here, My Lady?" Argus suddenly asked Lady Lina, astonished. He realized that she didn't have any plans to leave. Deep inside him, he was getting excited, but he suppressed the desire that was slowly emerging in him. 'She is here, but I need to keep strong. I don't want her to get in trouble or ruin her plan. I need to get a hold of myself,' he thought. The chamber, where he was staying in the palace, didn't have an extra room for changing. If he needed to prepare and get changed he needed to do it in front of her, and the mere thought of her watching him change was adding fire to his desire.

She nodded. "It's not the first time that I've seen you change in front of me," Lady Lina said while looking at him with passion. The way she stared at him made Argus' body react. He could feel that his member was starting to swell.

"My lady, it's not that I don't want you to be here. But don't you think it's dangerous for you if someone sees you inside my chamber?" he couldn't help but raise his tone at her, to control his urge to give in to her desire. But then, he regrets it immediately as he sees the pain register on her face. He wanted to hug her right then and there, but he refrained. It takes a lot of willpower in him to remain standing in front of her. "It's not proper for a lady to be found inside the chamber of an unmarried man. You don't have your lady-in-waiting with you either. We are not in the Khittera land anymore. We need to be careful here in the Sahara. You know what will happen to me or you, if your father or someone finds us," he said, trying his best to sound firm in front of her.

"Alright! Alright! Enough with your lectures. If you don't want me to watch you get changed I will leave. Just hurry, I don't want to be late!" Lady Lina said angrily. She immediately stood up from where she was seated and stomped her feet while marching toward the door.

"My Lady," Argus held her arm before she could open the door.

"You should get ready, we need to leave immediately," Lady Lina said to him coldly. She stared at his hand that was holding her and trailed her eyes up to his face. She looked at him with disdain. "Let go of me now, Argus," she said flatly.

"Not when you are angry," he said, not letting go of her hand.

"You...Y-You rejected me!" she said to him angrily.

"I did not. You are my love and my life. How could I reject you? If you know how much I wanted to take you here and now. But I need to control myself, we are not in our land. I don't want to get you in trouble and jeopardize your plan. You know that I will do anything for you," he said to her tenderly. He pulled her into him and wrapped his arms around her slender body. She tried to push him away but his strength was greater than hers. He hugged her tightly.

"All I want is to spend the morning with you. I miss you so much, even though we are together," she said. Her voice was muffled because her face was buried into his chest but he could still hear her.

"I know, and I miss you too. But this is your dream, and the least I can do to help you achieve your dream is to watch you from afar. Being a queen of this land is for you. I might not be the one you need to achieve it, but I will make sure that you can get it. And having you here in my arms right now is already a risk for you to take the throne. But I couldn't bear for you to leave my chamber, not when you are angry," he whispered those words in her ear. He saw her shudder when his breath fanned at the lobe of her ear. He inwardly smiled upon seeing her reaction to him. When she hugged him back and he felt her warm hands caress his back, he couldn't contain himself anymore. Argus slightly loosened his hold on her. She looked up at him with questions in her eyes, but he didn't give her time to react. He claimed her lips possessively.

At first, he felt her hesitate, but after a few seconds, she was responding to his kiss aggressively. Argus' reasons flew out of the window as he felt her tongue invade his mouth. Her soft body molded with his, and her hands were starting to undress him. Argus grunted when he felt her hand on his member.

"D*mm!" he grumbled, then he lifted Lady Lina and carried her to his bed without breaking the kiss. One by one their garments were falling to the floor. Argus rained ravenous kisses on Lady Lina. His hands cupped Lady Lina's rear and pulled her close, he grind his bulge in her belly. Lady Lina moaned as she felt his bulging member. He let go of her rear and cupped her now exposed bosom. He put one of its red peaks in his mouth while one hand played with the other one. His other hand trailed down to her intimate spot. When he reached his destination, Lady Lina was a writhing mess in his arms.

"A-Argus..." she called his name in between her moans.

Argus didn't wait for another invitation. He pressed his lips again to her as he was positioning himself in between her legs. Their tongues intertwined, fighting for domination. He brushed his hot and fully erect flesh with hers. He parted her entrance and in one swift and deep thrust, he was inside her. Every muscle in his body tensed as he let out a restrained moan.

"Deeper, Argus..." Lady Lina whispered in his ear. She need not tell him twice, Argus's thrusts became deeper and deeper. His chamber was filled with their groans and moans. His previous resolve was now forgotten. The only thing he cared about now, was to fulfill Lady Lina's desire.
