The Alpha's Mate

CHAPTER 45: SYBIL

I came with a loud cry. The sound echoing through the room as sweet agony burned through my blood. Lucian continued to move his tongue over my pussy, drinking up every drop of moisture, prolonging my pleasure. Once I came down from the high, he climbed up my body, his lips finding mine. I could taste myself as our tongues fought for dominance. I let him take the lead, resigned to feeling every experienced stroke. I groaned when he pulled away, circling my hands around his neck to bring him back to me.

“Was it good?” He threw my question right at me. A smile spread on my cheeks as I remember every nasty thing he had whispered to me as his tongue swirled around my swollen clit while his fingers moved in and out of me. Slow and steady. It was torture. I loved it and it wrenched out emotions in me I’ve never felt before.

“Incredible,” I said. He smiled. I saw what he was planning on doing next, so I wound my legs around his waist, drawing him closer, my hands still around his neck.

“What are you doing?” Perhaps he had been right when he said we shouldn’t have done this. Now I was a mess. Another ache of need started deep in my core.

“I won’t let go.” Goddess, what the fuck is wrong with me? I thought, slightly embarrassed by my actions. I wanted him close to me, his fingers mapping my skin, his lips kissing every inch of me. I wanted him to claim me in every way. I’ve never acted like this in my life. With other men, it was all about sex. Once I got my release, I left. There was no need for any emotional connection, it was just for fun. With him, everything felt different. Every touch felt different. It felt a hundred times better.

He’s your mate, you little fool. A voice whispered in my head. It wasn’t my wolf. Though I felt her presence, she was quiet today. Resigned to feeling everything other than talking.

“I’m not going anywhere. We need to clean up. I was going to draw a bath for you.”

“Which means you were about to leave me in this bed alone.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked, raising his eyebrow. Well, I wasn’t the only one who had witnessed my strange behaviour. I felt a little embarrassed, as before, but it didn’t matter. Who knows what the future had in store for us? According to what Lorraine said he was going to die. Was it selfish that I wanted to spend every second of every day with him? To get to know him before fate ruined everything for us.

That’s a clear path to heartbreak and agony. Distancing yourself from him is the most sensible thing to do. The voice was back again. I hated it because it was right. This would hurt like hell when everything was over. Though that was the case, I still didn’t want to let go. I wouldn’t let go.

“I’m perfectly fine,” I answered after a while.

“You act all dominant all the time. That’s not the case here.”

“I told you, I can make exceptions.”

“I see. What about that bath, then?”

“Are you going to join me?” This was the working of the mate bond, or it could be the fact that he touched me, setting my body on fire, and now I craved more.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea?”

“Why not? It’s just a bath.”

“I won’t be able to stop myself.”

“What if I don’t want you to stop yourself?”

“Come on.” Without warning, he scooped me in his arms and took me to the bathroom. Setting me down, I watched him fill the tub with water. My eyes didn’t linger on what he was doing for long. They strayed to his body, taking in every plane and dip. His muscles flexed with the simplest movements. My hands itched to feel his hot skin under my palm. Moisture poured out of me, coating my thighs. Lucian froze, then he slowly turned to me.
