The Princess And The Alpha *Excerpt Only*

Complications

"Fuck!"

My eyes sprung open at the curse word and the instant they were open I understood what was going on. My skin was burning, hot like I had a fever and causing me to sweat. My heart was hammering in my chest like I had just sprinted a mile and my body was squirming, trying to get comfortable despite the intense warmth and the subtle aches. But I wasn't sick, though I briefly wished I was.

I was in heat.

My hands reached for Ryan and when my fingers came into contact with his cool skin I let out a little moan of relief. The rest of my body moved forward until my chest was pressed against his and my arms were wrapped around him, loving the coolness and the feel of his bare skin. I knew the heat was driving me to this, I would never be bold enough to do such a thing to a man I hardly knew, but I couldn't help it. My wolf wanted him more intensely than I had ever imagined. If I was being frank I always assumed that girls lied about the strength, just using it as an excuse to give in to their wolves. But now I knew they weren't over exaggerating. I could feel my hand slipping down Ryan's stomach on its own accord and I didn't care enough to stop it. I wanted him so badly, all of him. it was taking all of my effort to convince myself that there was a chance he didn't want this and I was forcing myself on him.

"Are you still drunk?" Ryan rasped out. I couldn't tell if his voice was rough because he could feel the effects of the heat and he was trying to control himself or if it was because he had just woken up.

"No." I murmured.

Ryan took a shuddering breath, keeping his eyes shut tightly and his hands bunched into fists.

"Is this what you want? Do you want me right now, Adeline?" he asked. He opened his blue eyes for a brief second to look at me for reassurance but then shut them almost immediately.

"Yes." I whispered. "I want you right now."

My hand continued lower until it reached the waist band of Ryan's boxers. I would've kept going too, beyond ready to continue this. I wanted him more than I ever thought I could this early on. And I wanted to touch and kiss every inch of his skin. I wanted him to be all mine and I would be all his. But Ryan's hand closed around my own, preventing my exploring fingers from going any further. When I peered up at him he was breathing hard and his eyes were still closed, but his hold on my hand was tight yet shaking.

"You're just in heat, Ad, you don't really want me this bad."

"I do. I do, Ryan, please." Then insecurities hit me, "Do you not want me?"

Ryan let go of my wrist and grabbed the back of my head, pulling my lips down to his so quickly that it made me dizzy. I let out a little whimper when our mouths touched, but I didn't stop kissing him when goose bumps prickled my skin and my head began to swim. In that moment there was nothing but his fingers tangled in my hair, his wanting lips against my own, and his cool skin beneath my fingertips. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything in my life. And I would have him.

With a slight moan, I kicked my leg over his body then shifted my weight so I was on top of him. I couldn't hold back the cry that bubbled in me when I felt his member press against my core. Ryan gasped out loud for a brief second then he forced my mouth back to his, kissing me harder than before. His tongue pressed against my lower lip and I gave in without hesitation, wanting more and more of him with every second. I continued to kiss him while I ran my hands over his chest, loving every curve and bump on his body. I wanted to trace him over and over again until his shape was locked into my memory.

Ryan made a fist, pulling my hair and causing my head to move backwards as I openly moaned, my eyes rolling backwards and I pushed down harder on his pelvis. I didn't doubt that I had already soaked through my panties and that my pants were starting to get wet as well.

Then Ryan's teeth nipped at my neck and I thought I was going to yell out in frustration. I wanted him so badly, I couldn't stand the waiting. I wanted him now; the teasing was driving me crazier and crazier with every second. His lips trailed up and down my neck a few times. I loved the feeling, it was so intimate and so sexual, but it was only making it worse, I was about to push him away and demand that we take this further when I felt sharp teeth brush against the sensitive skin just about my collar bone.

At first it felt good. I wasn't even processing that his canines had broken the skin, that he was actually biting my neck. All I cared about was the fact that it felt like ecstasy and I wanted more of it. I wanted more of him.

Then the pain came.

It didn't happen slowly. It came all at once. One second I was moaning, trying to pull Ryan closer to me. The next was desperately scratching at him and shrieking at the top of my lungs. The pain was so intense I didn't even notice when Ryan actually pulled away and I didn't remember moving off of him. I just fell onto my back and stared at the ceiling, one hand on my throbbing neck, my teeth biting down on my lip hard to keep the rest of the screams locked inside while tears poured down my cheeks. The heat was gone. The desire to be underneath Ryan and completely naked was dead. All I could think about was the pain. I briefly wondered if I would make it to the kitchen to get an ice pack, but I doubted my legs would carry me.

"Oh God, Addy." Ryan gasped, hovering over me. I vaguely noticed the blood around his mouth. It wasn't a lot. But it was still blood. "Addy, I'm so sorry. I- I lost control." He stuttered.

I didn't reply. I couldn't. I worried that if I moved and inch the control I had over my vocals would be gone and I would be screaming bloody murder all over again.

"Addy."

I didn't even blink.

"Fuck, what was I even thinking?" Ryan whispered, his voice quiet but clearly panicked.

I heard him move and felt the bed shift when he stood up, but I didn't try to turn my head, concerned that it would cause more pain. I wasn't sure if I could handle more.

The bedroom door opened and for a moment I was alone, lying on a bed in my parent's vacation home, holding my bloody neck, wondering what the hell just happened. And what consequences would be waiting for me now.
