Chapter 38
Mushy Mates

The thought nags us both. We have concluded that Furion might be in the place where I let him go, where I chose to break the Forbidden Law and jailed Furion up and freed myself. I can see myself slowly breaking again. Apparently, my mate has noticed this. Cloud grabs my hand and squeezes it softly, assuring me that he will be here and he's not going to leave me. He smiles at me, and I see how beautiful the world is. My heart calms, seeing my mate smile at me like he's looking at the precious thing in the world, the one that cannot be purchased with money or so. He lifts my hands up and kisses the back of it as his beautiful brown eyes cast on me with so much love and adoration. My cheeks filled with warm as Cloud's stare on me intensifies. He's not looking away nor is he planning to as he lets go of my hand and wraps his strong around me. I feel like I'm on a cloud nine. His arms wrapped around me like a strongest shield and nobody can harm me. His smell, just a combination of a perfume and vanilla, invades my nose and I inhale his scent more, getting lost at it as his scent gets worked up in my head.

"I love this," I mutter as I bury my nose in his chest, wanting to be drown more in his scent. He chuckles and his chest vibrates, sending shivers down my spine. It feels good to hear him chuckle or laugh. I think it makes everything better for me. Cloud is beginning to be the center of my life. He's my mate, and I never thought I would get to say this, but I think I'm slowly falling in love with him. Everything started out as a mess, kinda like an upcoming storm. There were dark clouds, a sign that it was ready to rain anytime soon, and it did rain eventually. Today, it's only a drizzle and everything will be better soon. I can't wait for it. "I could get used to this." I snuggle more into him and I feel Cloud's eyes trained on me. Hell, I can practically see the smirk forming on his lips. Cloud has a cocky attitude, and he can be a bit scary (a bit scary? Seriously?) sometimes, but like they say, you need to get used to around your mate. Cloud is my mate and I'm going to get used to him being cocky at all times. As long as I get to do this wherever and whenever I want.

"You're taking advantage of me," Cloud says with amusement lingering in his eyes, his lips still tugged in a smirk and I arch a brow at him, pouting a bit and he laughs. Cloud leans down and gives me a slight peck on the lips, though he was hesitant at first, like he was having thoughts if I would object or not. I will never object. He can do that for as long as he wants; whenever and wherever he wants it. "It feels good to have you, you know? I never thought... I had always thought my mate was a girl, but it turned out to be you, and... well, let me just say the Good Goddess has a different way of surprising me."

"Is..." I'm having a second though to ask him the question that just popped up into my head few seconds again. I may look like ridiculous when I ask him this, but I really want to know the answer whether I would look ridiculous or not. Cloud watches me with anticipation, looking at me straight in the eye. I sigh, slumping down my shoulders as I look elsewhere but him. "Is... is it a good... is it a good surprise or a bad surprise?" I say the words like I'm a wind with a capability to talk. Barely loud for him to hear, but since he's the most powerful Alpha, well, I'm not going to be surprised when I hear his chuckle shots my ears and I stare at him, feeling down suddenly. That's it. I really looked ridiculous asking that question.

Cloud shakes his head and kisses my temple, and as he does so, he says, "I love surprises." And that's all it takes me to have a strong courage to tip on my toes, stare into his eyes deeply as I cup his face with my hands and force his lips down on mine. Cloud's eyes widen at my actions but eventually he caves in, resting his hands on my hips as our lips mold into one, dancing to the soft rhythm of the wind. If Furion were to see this, he would have a Cheshire cat grin on his lips.

"Let's rest," Cloud murmurs as he pulls his lips away from me. I feel a bit disappointed at the lost of his lips against mine but I know there will be lots of time for that in the future. I just have to wait, right? He tugs on my arm so I would have to walk with him and I roll my eyes at him playfully. Cloud drags me towards his house, not giving me an option whether I would like to share a bed with him or not. But who am I to complain when the Great Alpha wants to share his bed with me and only me? Suddenly, the thought of being alone with him scares and excites me at the same time. Earlier, Cloud's hands were all over me and that happened in public! Now that we're going to be alone... 

Cloud looks at me over his shoulder with knowing eyes and as he looks away, I swear I saw his lips quirk into a devious smile! We enter his home and a comfortable feeling greets me as Cloud tightens his hand against mine and we head upstairs until we get to his room. Once inside, Cloud immediately and quickly shuts the door, locking it behind me as he pushes me, my back hitting the door and I let out a groan, shutting my eyes as Cloud's lips lock on my neck, sucking the dear life out of it and I let out a moan, my hands flying into his hair as I become a writhing mess. My mind is going haywire, and all the wires inside my brain seem to get tangled, making me not able to think rationally but I know I have to do something to keep us from going on since I'm pretty sure we're not both ready for something sexual. Well, maybe he is but I am not. I'm sure of that. Or not.

I push him with an ounce of power I have mustered and Cloud takes a step back, his face contorting into a confused one as he gives me a stare, his brows furrowed, which makes him irresistibly cute and handsome. Is that possible? For someone to be so cute and very handsome at the same time? Cloud Alistair Lylson can pull it off. He is the most magnificent, the cutest, and the most handsome man I have ever seen. As soon as those thoughts invade my mind, a blush fills up my cheeks and I scratch my neck awkwardly, an awkward chuckle escaping my mouth as I walk around his room, trying to distance myself from Cloud.

The presence of Cloud walking towards my direction and as soon as he does, his arms wrap around me and he leans his head down, his lips inches away from my ears. I can feel his breath fanning the side of my neck and my body freezes in place.

"Are you trying to go away from me?" Cloud whispers, his fingers playing with the hem of my shirt, lifting it up a bit and his palm rubs my tummy, making me squirm. His palm is warm, very perfect against my skin and I shut my eyes. "Because you damn well know it's not going to work, Kieran Lars Lockwood."

That's the first I've heard my full name coming out of the Great Alpha's mouth and I can't get enough of it. The way he said my name, it was like he was calling out a name of a poison that could make him high and that could kill him in a minute when being drank.

"You're cute," he continues to say, planting a sloppy kiss on my shoulder. "I won't force you to do anything with me tonight, but I would like you to stay, sleep with me, share a bed with me. I don't want to feel lonely. I don't want to feel lonely anymore. I want you any minute, any second, by my side."

"Well," I say, chuckling, turning around on my heels and getting a fistful of the fabric of his clothes as I stare at him, a smile forming on my lips, "you gotta prepare yourself for a lot of craziness, because this man standing in front of you, that's your mate and he will never let go now that he has you. You're kind of addicting."
