The Alpha's Thirst (temporarily on hold)

Chapter 25 - Hide Out

"Ella, that's really unsettling that she doesn't want me involved. How do we even know what her intentions are?" he said.

"She said she doesn't trust you and she doesn't want to share magic with you. I tried to talk to her Nick, but she wouldn't budge." I gritted my teeth and looked away, nervous for what he was going to say.

"Fucking hell." he started the car and began driving the direction we came in.

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I gathered my thoughts.

"I really don't think she wants to hurt you back, Nick. I know you're hesitant because you think she might want revenge, but I looked into her eyes and I didn't see resent. I saw...." I tried to think of what I saw when I had looked into Evanora's eyes.

"Numbness."

She seemed numb to me, not hurt. If I had even the slightest suspicion Evanora was untrustworthy or malicious I wouldn't have begged for her help. And it's not like I had another choice anyways.

"If you really, really, trust her, then I will trust you. But I don't want to be completely in the dark." he said in his husky voice.

"I don't know if she'll allow that to happen..." I rubbed my arm.

"Listen," he said sternly.

"It's my pack, I don't need her to 'allow' anything. I need her to fix our evil dark magic rogue cult problem and then get the hell out of our lives." he sighed. I could tell he was stressed out. I felt bad, but I didn't want Nick's temper to jeopardize our chances with Evanora's help.

Either way, one of them wasn't going to be happy with the arrangement. But I'd have to cross that bridge when I came to it.

We got home late at night, and since our part of the pack house had been destroyed Nick had arranged for us to stay in a very private, off-the-grid luxury forest retreat.

But when we got there it was a lot.... more.. than what I'd had in mind.

"Wow, you really don't know how to live modestly, do you?" I chuckled, staring in awe at the amazing house.

"I don't have to, so why would I?" he led me inside carrying our bags. The inside was beautiful, very well lit and decorated perfectly.

Nick showed me to our room and I felt my spirits lift when I saw how fluffy and big the bed was.

I changed into a silky tank top and little matching shorts before climbing into bed next to a shirtless Nick, typing on his laptop.

Even his work couldn't completely keep his eyes off me in the silky pajamas. He seemed to finish up something before closing the laptop and setting it on the nightstand.

I took the opportunity to make my way closer to him, cuddling against his warm chest. His hand snaked down to my ass and gave me a gentle squeeze as his eyes gazed at his mark on my neck.

He moved his mouth down to it and began to suck gently, knowing it would drive me crazy immediately. His strong hand slid my shorts down and he began to rub me slowly, causing me to cry out for him.

"Fuck, Nick," I blurted, his hand doing incredible things to me.

He slid his middle finger into me gently before moving it in and out to penetrate me harshly. I knew he didn't feel very in control of the situation with Evanora today, so I was happy to let him have the control in the bedroom.

And he gladly took it, rolling over me and pinning my arms up above my head with his left hand while continuing to pleasure me with his right. Even if my squirming had been intending to actually get away, it wouldn't have worked; Nick was incredibly strong even when he was being gentle with me.

He kissed along my collarbone while pushing in a second finger in, his hard-on prodding my hip. His touch was addicting, we'd already slept together three times since yesterday and it was about to happen again. I never pictured myself this reliant on a man to feel good, and I had mixed emotions about it.

But I couldn't keep myself off of him, the mark had done something to me. And I wasn't going to complain about having a ton of good sex with my hot boyfriend.

"Oh my God," I breathed sharply as he curled his fingertips inside me, and he growled deeply against my neck in approval.

Soon he released my hands and moved his own to cup my breasts, his mouth moving back up to kiss mine passionately while I wrapped my bare legs around his waist, pulling him a little closer.

He moved his hand and positioned himself before sliding into me, causing me to let out a sharp breath.

He made eye contact with me while he thrusted in and out, and I admired his perfect facial structure. His eyes were so easy to get lost in.

"You feel amazing," he said in his deep husky voice, his hands gripping my hips to hold me in place.

I threw my head back in pleasure, ecstasy and adrenaline running through my veins. His thrusts started getting faster and he was breathing heavily, his firm abs flexing slightly with every push.

He moved his thumb to rub circles around my clit, pushing me over the edge. We peaked at the same time, riding out the high with each other. Pleasure rushed down my legs, causing me to moan loudly.

Finally he gave one last thrust pulled out of me, his fluid running out as he took a deep breath.

I went to the bathroom and took a shower, cleaning myself with lavender soap. When I got out Nick was in bed, shirtless. I was dry enough to lie in the bed with him, still nude. And of course he couldn't resist pulling me up against him, his hand resting on my waist.

"I love you, Ella." he told me softly in his deep voice. I pressed my naked chest against his and kissed him tenderly.

"I love you too." I smiled, before leaning back in to kiss him more.

He already had another erection, so I knew I had to pull away before he wanted another round. He seemed unsettled by this and his arms pressed me back against him, rubbing my back gently.

"I'm going to tell Evanora to come tomorrow. I just want to learn as soon as possible so I can stop living in fear." I said.

"That's a good idea. I can have troops secure an area of the forest for just you two." he agreed, before cuddling me up against his chest and pulling the covers over us.

With that, I was satisfied, and fell asleep like a baby.
