Chapter 21

I take off my clothes, one by one, without another thought. He watches me intently, his gaze moving along with my fingers and over every inch of bare skin that is unveiled. His lips part slightly, a silent invitation for me to continue. My breaths come out quickly as I discard each piece of clothing onto the cold ground below. There's nothing stopping me tonight.

Not even shame.

My hair falls over my breasts as I take unbutton my shirt and take it off. The anticipation within me rises. I still have no clue of what I'm heading into, but it's too late to turn back now. I'm already here, in front of him, my skin bare. I don't know what he's thinking when he sees me. But only a few seconds after undressing, his hand returns to my leg, to the back of my leg and he pulls me onto his lap.

I fall straight on him, my heart drumming roughly in my chest as my legs rest on the sides of his one leg. His both hands snake through my body and it feels good. More than just good. I can't find the words to understand what's happening to my body.

I've never been touched by a man before and as much as it sounds righteous, I did always crave it, like every girl did. Though, my mother's health had occupied my mind over the past few months. I didn't seek my mate, or even bothered to get along with any guy.

The conflicting desires swirl inside me as I straddle his hard leg. Should I surrender to the forbidden pleasure? Or continue to resist, denying myself something I secretly yearn for?

He traces his hand down my back, goosebumps following his trail. I look into his dark eyes, but they aren't on mine anymore, they are on my body. He's tempted, maybe more than even I am. I can't read his mind but he can surely read mine.

He already has.

He turns me around and lays me down on the bed. The room doesn't feel as cold as it was before. It's rather warmer, but I'm sure it's because I'm lying under a man, naked and in heat. My whole body shrinks under him. He places his one hand near to my head and the other one rests below my waist.

My lips part and breaths escape. I begin noticing the little things I've missed before. He's a lot bigger than me, muscular and feral. It's more safer when I'm on his lap rather than lying underneath him because even when there's nothing to fear, I'm still scared. He's a man and I'm a woman.

Gently, he leans down, his lips hovering just above mine. My body rattles with heat as I meet his eyes once more and the allure hidden in them.

"Why don't you start telling me how you're feeling?" He asks, tracing his fingers along the sides of my face.

My brows furrow. "You can read my mind."

His thumb rubs against my lower lip and I hold back my breaths. "I can, but I want to hear it from your mouth. I want you to tell me exactly what you're feeling, because if you don't, I can't offer you any relief, Aurora."

I swallow, my heart pounding against my ribs. "I'm—it feels like I'm on fire," I confess, a shiver running down my spine as I finally voice the sensation coursing through my body. "And—" My eyes trail his hand as it lingers between my thighs. The anticipation, the yearning, all bubbling inside me.

"Go on," Zade whispers, his voice tempting.

His fingers glide upwards, a dangerous tease, and I suck in a sharp breath. "And there's a throbbing."

"A throbbing?" His fingers are still for a moment as he waits for me to continue.

"Yes," I confess, a whimper escaping my lips as the pressure within me becomes intense. "There's a need, a throbbing need." My insides clench and warmth spreads in my core in a way it never has. There's a strong sense of desire and urgency running through me and I can't help it.

"Where?"

"Everywhere."

He leans closer to my mouth and my breaths mingle with his cold ones. Our lips remain only inches apart from meeting. "Where is it the most, Aurora?"

My fingers rest at the top of his, guiding him to where the ache is stronger. I drag his hand from my thigh and to my pussy, right where it's pulsating, where it needs to be touched.

He chuckles softly, "Here?" He asks, pressing gently while a wicked glint appears in his eyes. His fingers start slow, circling around my sensitive bead. My insides twist and clench even more.

My fingers clutch his and I nod, "Yes, Zade. Right there."

His finger trails over the lips of my pussy, and stops at my entrance. Using his thumb, he rubs circles over my bead while his finger rests over my entrance. The corners of his mouth twitch, a devilish smile forming on his lips. "And what if I can't give you what you need?" He teases, his movements slowing down, forcing a whimper from deep within me.

"You can," I gasp out, indulging completely in the torment he's subjecting me to. "You—you must."

"And if I stop?"

"Zade," I protest, shaking my head. "Don't."

He draws his hand away from my pussy and trails his finger over my stomach and waist before pressing his fingers against my nipple. I yearn for more. There's no relief, not yet. I want more.

"Seeing you beg is simply tempting, but what if I want to punish you for what you have done, Aurora? After all, you did put me through some torture today, didn't you?" His smile widens and the mischief returns to his eyes. Maybe it has always been there and I just didn't notice it.

"No, not tonight," I beg him. "You can punish me in any other way, just not by denying me the relief I so desperately need. You know I need this." I manage to finish, my voice pleading.

My hand wraps around his wrist. His fingers brush against my sensitive nipple, sending sparks shooting straight to my core.

A soft chuckles rumbles from his chest, his breath brushing my cheek as he looks at me, considering. His fingers pause their teasing, lingering against the swell of my breast. "Any other way, you say?"

I nod, biting my lip. "Yes, anything else."

His hand trails down my body, leaving me breathless. I wait till his fingers are at my throbbing pussy, rubbing my nub. My grip on his arm tightens as I stifle a moan. His touch is expert, knowing exactly how to move his fingers. There are in a precise manner and they send me straight to pleasure. He leans back and trails the other hand trails along my thigh, tracing the line of my skin before gently pushing my legs apart.

His fingers move lower, teasing my entrance, just barely dipping inside. My gaze remains on his while his eyes are narrowed, studying me, my bareness. I still feel no shame, no guilt for spreading my legs for him. I don't think so I will ever. He's my mate, he's meant to see me, every part of me.

"Zade," I whimper, my hips rolling against his hand. His fingers are restless, rubbing my nub and pushing me over to the edge to the point where my insides coil tight, at the brink of relief.

His other hand moves over my thigh, gently moving across my skin. My breath catches in my throat as his thumb finds my nub again, applying just the right amount of pressure. The word narrows down to the feel of his fingers, the pleasure I'm getting. And then, as my body starts to shake, as the climax takes over me, he draws his hand away, letting me finish.

My body curls. The buried heat inside me crawls out, not all of it but some. I pant heavily, sinking into the mattress as a sense of relief settles over me.

With trembling legs, I sit up and my eyes meet with Zade's dark and smoldering ones.

His hand is still on my thigh, just resting there. "Well, well, my widowed virgin," he says, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. "Did you enjoy your first taste of pleasure?"

I stare up at him, startled. "I'm not—I didn't even think of it."

His hand moves to my arm and he turns me around, over to my back while he himself leans against the headboard of the bed. A chuckles escapes his mouth and echoes in the silence. "I can't read your mind always, Aurora. But I surely can see the way your body responds to my touch. Your innocent reactions betray you."

I feel a blush creep onto my cheeks at his words, but I know well he can't see me as he has me turned around and between his legs.

What punishment do you think he has planned for her? 🤫
