The Alpha's Witch

Chapter Seventeen

ADELINE

My index finger lightly traced over the very obvious hickey that sat at the base of my neck. Two faint dots from where Braxton's canines broke my skin could also been seen, showing just how close he was to claiming me last night. I let out a frustrated sigh. I should have told him to stop, I knew his endless love bites were bound to leave a mark.

Pulling back from the mirror, my eyes scanned over my face. My hair was slightly disheveled and I still only wore the white shirt. But other than that, I looked oddly refreshed. I quickly brushed my hair before letting out another sigh. My thoughts wandered to last night's events. I still couldn't believe I had let myself give in to my desires. Let myself give in to him.

"I don't want you to stop."

As soon as the words had left my lips, Braxton's fingers had returned to their frustratingly steady pace. His lips had begun exploring my neck, every inch of the sensitive skin. Finally, after a minute or so of what felt like the best kind of torture, he made a hot trail of kisses further and further down my body. When he reached my underwear, he quickly pulled the fabric off. I was left completely exposed. Naked to his gaze.

He didn't waste a second before burying his head in between my legs. The feeling of his tongue flat against my clit immediately made my back arch in pleasure. I instantly became a moaning mess as his tongue quickly began to move in the most erotic pace. A low growl passed his lips, the sound muffled into my core. But the feeling was a sweet vibration that immediately sent me over the edge.

Finally, I felt the release I desperately craved. I was left completely breathless. Still coming down from the high, I glanced down at him only to see him smirking back up at me.

He placed a soft kiss on my inner thigh before he spoke, "Tell me that felt good."

My lip found its way in between my teeth. I held eye contact with him as he made his way back up over my body until our faces were level once again. He waited for my response. I contemplated for a moment on whether or not to give him the answer he wanted.

The sudden feeling of his hardness pressing into my core finally made the decision for me. I moaned lightly at the pressure and whispered back, "It did."

"It did what?" he questioned, clearly wanting me to be specific. He pressed against me again, urging me answer.

"It felt really good." my tone was even lower than before, barely audible. But he definitely still heard me.

I caught the glimpse of his smirk returning before he leaned down, gently pressing his lips against mine. The kiss was soft. It was also fleeting. Before I could even react, he got off of me and laid back next down to me.

I immediately felt confused. Didn't he want more? I admittedly did.

"You need sleep Adeline." his voice was soft and laced with genuine care. When I looked over at him his eyes were already closed.

Feeling a mixture of exhaustion and confusion, I didn't even know how to respond. So I chose not to. I simply rolled over and faced the windows. Within a second, Braxton's arm encased my body and pulled me closer to him. The familiar feeling of warmth had immediately caused me to relax into his embrace.

Despite the comfort, I couldn't ignore his harness pressed against my ass. He knew exactly what he was doing. I kept my eyes fixed on the reflection of the moon over the lake until my eyelids began to feel heavy. Finally, I was pulled into darkness.

"Adeline?" Braxton's voice calling my name pulled me from the memory.

"I'm in the here." I responded before quickly clearing my throat and my thoughts.
