The Heat

19

"Wake up, Sofia," his voice was gentle, coaxing me to wake up with one hand running through my hair.

It took me a moment to actually wake up from the deep sleep, groaning as I had been feeling such relief after my heat.

"Let me sleep," I grumbled, narrowing my eyes up at a shirtless Damian standing by the bed.

"Your heat's going to be coming back in an hour or so. The bath's ready and you still need to eat before..."

I ran my hands over my face, sighing, "it's not over?"

"No. Now, get up". I could hear the grin in his voice.

Cursing underneath my breath, I somehow managed to get up from the bed, completely nude while Damian had on grey sweatpants.

I began wobbling over towards the bathroom, still half asleep and exhausted.

I heard his footsteps behind me, before his hands moved to be my waist, and then looping around me to rest against my stomach.

My body warmed up, revelling in the comfort he gave me.

My breathing faltered when his hot breath ghosted over the mark on my neck.

My whole body was reacting to his touch even more, and it was amazing how I felt at a simple touch now that we'd mated.

He was caressing my body in his hands as we made our way into the bathroom.

"You're a damn Goddess... I want us to stay locked away in this room for as long as possible, with you preferably very, very naked..." one of his hands cupped my breast and squeezed in gently.

I found myself smiling, eyes half closed as we entered the bathroom.

I covered his hands with mine, lacing our fingers before removing them from my body.

After getting in the perfectly heated bath, Damian surprised me by getting in behind me after taking his sweats off.

His arms looped around my waist and pulled me back against his front.

His excited manhood was pressing against my back, twitching when I sighed in content and let myself relax back against him.

"I've had food brought up for us before your heat comes back, Sofia. You'll need a lot of energy".

I let my eyes close, arms going over his. "Thank you".

I felt him leaving kisses into the crook of my neck, relaxing me even more. 

"Sofia," his low and quiet voice sent a wave of pleasure to my core. 

"Hm?"

"Will you- would you be willing to be my Luna? I know it's a damn dramatic process and that you're not a fan of that... but then you'd be the Luna of this pack, officially, and... you know..." with my head leaning back on his shoulder, one of his hands came up to run through my hair while the other was still around my waist with my arms going over it.

Luna... The Alpha's mate would become Luna in an official ceremony after they'd mated, and now that Damian and I had, I don't know why I hadn't further thought about it. 

Before, my thoughts had revolved around leaving this place. We both knew that us having mated now was only because of my heat, but the deeper mate bond that resulted from it was something that neither of us had any control over. We both knew there was no going back. 

"You'd lead the pack with me. That way," he began as I hadn't replied, leaving a kiss on my jaw, "I wouldn't be using you for power. We'd both have more power and would make decisions together".

I would end up being Luna of this pack one day, and he knew it too. I just didn't know quite what to reply now that he was asking me like this. 

"I'll let you think it over," Damian then cleared his throat, sighing to himself.

"Okay... I just need this heat to pass before I can even think properly," I let out a quiet laugh and felt his light grin against my skin.

"I hear that. Your thoughts have been too horny today, especially over me..." he was teasing me.

"They're my private thoughts, I don't like that you're listening to them when I can't control them," I shook my head, unable to stop my lips twitching upwards.

"Private thoughts which involve me, baby. I really liked the one where I-"

I laughed, nudging him gently with my elbow, "please, don't. You're making me blush".

"You're so cute, I could eat you," he chuckled, suddenly flipping me around so I was straddling his lap. I was forced to open my eyes and gave him a sleepy look.

"Why do I feel like you're not kidding?" I gave him a smile, feeling his hands moving along my curves. 

"Because I'm not..." he leaned in to kiss me. For a moment, I did let him and enjoyed his intoxicating scent and lips.

I brought my hands up to his hard chest, gently pushing him back. "I'm so tired, Damian".

"I know, Sofia. Just relax, we'll eat soon, and then you can rest again. When your heat comes back, then I'll eat you..." he sent me a suggestive wink, and I couldn't help but giggle and shake my head down at our laps.

I leaned my forehead against his shoulder, letting out a small breath after a moment. 

His hands pulled me closer from my hips, and I felt his hardness on my thigh. 

"Wow. How much viagra did you take?" I joked quietly, lips brushing against the crook of his neck which had him shuddering.

"Ha ha," he murmured, "your scent is just so... good. It always is, but now with your heat... fuck me, it's driving me crazy".

"You're insatiable. And I'm the one with the heat," I laughed quietly, letting my hands run over his chest. 

"Listen, I need you to tell me if you're okay with this. Can I have sex with you? I could help you through your heat with- with other ways besides sex," he began explaining, and I let my eyes close as relaxation filled me again.

I knew that him just touching me instead of sticking his dick inside me would not give me full relief when my heat returned.

"I'll hold myself back, Sofia. I really don't want this to be something that you'll end up looking back on with the rape-scenario feel".

"You're telling me I need to relax, yet you keep on talking," I sighed, slowly sliding one hand down from his chest, over his clenching abs and to take ahold of his hard cock.

A shaky breath left his lips, "sorry, baby. Just tell me, are you okay with us having sex?"

"Yes, I am," I gave his jaw a small kiss as I began slowly running my hand up and down his manhood underneath the water, "now shut up".

"Ah, shit..." he groaned, his tone so low and tingle-inducing when I added a little more pressure into jerking him off.
