Fate: The Alpha King and His Unexpected Mate

Chapter Fourteen

Lexi

As soon as I felt Liam's lips on mine, my body started to buzz. Once my back hit the bed, Lily purred in my mind, and it came out as a moan. I needed to feel Liam's touch. My body was begging for it.

"Liam, please."

I watched his eyes swirl with Logan's before he all but pounced on me. He kissed my lips hard before moving to my neck. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he stopped at the spot where he would leave his mark. He softly nipped at the spot, and I bucked my hips against his. That sensation alone almost made me come undone.

I brought his mouth back to mine and reached for the bottom of his shirt. We broke the kiss long enough to pull his shirt over his head. He continued the kiss, and I couldn't stop myself from running my hands over his muscular back. I could feel his hands tangle in my hair. I was so ready to move this further, but then something made me stop.

"Liam, wait."

We were both panting and trying to catch our breath as he sat up. He looked at me like he could see my soul. I thought he would be upset that I stopped. As I looked into his eyes, I saw nothing but understanding.

"You need Marc too, don't you?"

I could feel tears in my eyes as I nodded. Did that make me selfish? Is this how it would always be? I would need both Liam and Marc?

'Relax. We feel like we need them both because we haven't completed the bond. Once we wear their marks, it will be easier.'

"Lexi, look at me. I understand. Please don't cry love."

Liam pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms around me tightly. I buried my face into his chest and inhaled his scent. I quickly felt myself calm down. I sat there for a little while longer, letting Liam run his hands over my back. Once I could hear Lily purring contently in the back of my mind, I knew I was okay. I looked up at him and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Don't you need to pack, too? "

Liam snorted and I rolled my eyes.

"Trust me, love. I can pack everything in my room in the time it would take you to only pack for a weekend. Now, what all do you want to take with you?"

He wasn't wrong. I usually was one to wait until the last minute to pack, and then I over packed. I couldn't help it. I decided that I didn't want to take too much of my stuff. Mainly my clothes, laptop, some pictures, just small reminders of what I was leaving here. We packed in a comfortable silence.

After a while, there was a knock at the door. I knew it was Jess before she even walked in.

"Jared is taking my stuff to the car. He promised we could go shopping, so I am bringing a lot less than I thought I would. Are you guys done? Dad said that some of the pack will meet us outside to say bye."
