Chapter 44

NOLAN

This was Yena’s night. All Nolan wanted to do was… whatever she wanted.

He wanted to worship her.

She pleaded for him to put his big dick inside her. Hearing her talk like almost made him lose all control. But he kept himself together.

He started out teasing her, getting her body ready for what was coming.

He kept letting her think he was about to fuck her hard, but then he’d pull out and sit back on his heels. It was driving her crazy.

His eyes roved all over her body. Every inch of her turned him on. It seemed like she grew more gorgeous every day.

“Kiss me,” she said, and she jumped on him. He let her push him back on the bed and climb on top of him.

She lowered her mouth to Nolan’s and kissed him softly and slowly.

He bit into her lip. Hard.

He tasted blood.

She cried out in a mix of pleasure and pain and threw her head back.

He grabbed her hair and pulled her body down into his. She sat into his lap, and he grabbed on tightly to her hips and pushed himself inside of her. She gasped.

Her lip was only bleeding a little, but it was also starting to swell already.

Nolan said, “Come here,” and she brought her face in close to his, while shifting her hips and panting lightly.

He caressed her face and tenderly licked the blood off her lower lip and chin, where it had just started trickling down.

Nolan kept his eyes locked on Yena’s and watched as they turned that darker blue color that told him she was feeling desperate with desire.

Her blood tasted like cherry syrup. He growled and sucked on her lip gently, savoring the little trickle that came out like it was candy, until it stopped bleeding.

Then he wiped her mouth dry with his thumb.

And then he gave her what she had been asking for.

YENA

I’d never ridden him like this before.

Nolan was so much taller than me. Being on top as he pounded our bodies together was a little like riding a horse. I just held onto him as tightly as I could and let him drive.

Sex with Nolan was always good.

Always.

But tonight, there was still something new happening.

Tonight, it felt like I never wanted him to let me go. It felt like our bodies were becoming inseparable, and I couldn’t bear the thought of ever being apart again.

At some point he couldn’t take the lack of total control anymore and rolled us over. Then I could tell he got really excited.

Nolan’s strength and stamina were incredible. I thought about the fact that he was one of the most powerful Alphas in our world. Someday he would be King, and every wolf in the world would bow to him.

To both of us.

That thought was enough to get me going into a really big moment. He kept doing what he was doing but pulled back to look at my face. He liked to watch me.

My body twitched everywhere, lost to my control completely.

I closed my eyes to ride out a rush of ecstasy, but Nolan told me firmly to open them.

He was giving me a dark, primal look.

I kept shivering. Because he wouldn’t stop.

He knew I couldn’t stop coming if he kept fucking me in just this way. Touching me just like this. It was almost too much.

Another, deeper wave of pleasure hit. A kind of pleasure I didn’t know was possible.

My throat was sore and my voice was getting hoarse. I bit down onto his neck hard to keep myself from screaming any more. He made that deep purring sound in his throat that told me this felt good to him.

Tears started streaming down the sides of my face and I whimpered, “I can’t take any more.”

Almost immediately Nolan came inside me, like he’d been waiting for those magic words and had been just barely holding off.

He slid out of me and curled up gently beside me, wrapping one arm around my hips. I set my head back on the pillow and tried to catch my breath.

“Are you alright?” he asked quietly.

I laughed and said, “Much, much better than alright.”

Nolan fingered my lip, which had been bleeding earlier. It didn’t hurt. He got a puzzled look on his face that I didn’t understand until a few minutes later, when I went into the bathroom and glanced in the mirror.

My lip looked normal. Somehow, it had already healed.

You’d never know a wolf had taken a bite out of it less than an hour ago.

NOLAN

Yena’s powers were stronger than Nolan had realized.

He knew full well what happened to him when they had sex. Even if she was not aware of it yet.

Being inside of her was like a drug. It made him feel alive.

It saved his life the night they met. So he knew from the start that her magic could heal him. But he did not realize she could heal… herself.

Nolan was not sure what exactly had happened, actually. How her lip had healed. But he watched it happening before his eyes.

It was magic of some kind.

And Nolan did have a little magic of his own. But he thought he already knew the extent of his powers. Maybe, though, there was something about Yena’s abilities that brought out something new in his own…

He followed her into the bathroom suite and found her lowering herself into a fragrant bubble bath.

“Can I join you?” he asked, unable to resist a smile.

She said, “Of course,” and sank down into the water.

Nolan climbed in and folded his legs around her body, facing her from the other end of the tub. It was an oversized bathtub, but his hulking form made for a snug fit with the both of them in there.

She smiled blissfully at him.

“I should have brought a bottle of wine,” he said, feeling the most relaxed he had ever been in his life, and like he wished he could stay soaking in this hot water with his princess forever.

“One step ahead of you,” Yena replied, reaching over the side of the tub. She lifted up a bottle of sparkling wine and flashed him a satisfied grin.

“You know,” he said, “you never disappoint me.”

She laughed and passed the bottle to him. Nolan leaned forward to kiss her, splashing soapy water over the edge of the tub as he did. She giggled.

He sat back and admired her smile.

Nolan could not keep his feelings inside any longer.

“Yena.” His voice was very serious. “There is something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about.”

“What is it?” she looked mildly concerned.

Nolan set his wine glass on the floor. He put both hands under the water and rested them on her knees.

“I want to start a family with you,” he said. “I want you to give me a wolf cub.”

“Oh.” She turned and put her own glass down on the floor, too. Then she gave him a long, complicated look and said, “Wow. I don’t… Nolan, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you too.”

He did not like the sound of that response.

“I think… I think that I want to go study abroad in the human world, at one of their design schools. You were right about the Noble Academy. I’m not learning much there, and I…”

She stopped talking and met his eyes.

He was trying very hard to keep her from seeing his pain.

It did not seem to be working.
