An Alpha's Love And Fire

Chapter 6: A Promise

-Lucian-

Maybe it was extreme to come here, sneaking into her room at night, which I found very small. I thought a beta was given a room almost as big as the alpha? Had Cecilia wanted it like this, or did Lara just not like her that much?

No, Lara was rather fond of her. It had to have been Cecilia’s choice, and it made sense. It was almost like my little mate just wanted to disappear into thin air.

It pained me that she wanted to hide so much because I loved looking at her. I loved looking at her long, slim legs that were completely revealed to me in those small shorts and the way her n*****s poked against the material of her shirt.

She wanted me but didn’t dare take the chance. That was fine. I would just give her a little push.

“What is it going to be, wildcat?” I inquired.

“Stop calling me that,” she demanded, staring at me for a while. I challenged her with my eyes, and I could see something going on inside her, but what would be her choice? Suddenly, it was like she had decided something with herself, and she grabbed the hem of her t-shirt and threw it away.

I watched as her beautiful body was revealed to me, and her small breasts were just begging to be sucked and adored by me. Damn, I wanted her, and my c*ck grew hard so fast that I almost felt a little dizzy as all the blood just travelled south.

“F*cking hell...” I whispered.

Cecilia grabbed the edge of her shorts, pushing them far down enough so they slid the rest of the way, and I swallowed hard. It was not an over-the-top strip show, and it wasn’t because Cecilia did anything special, just her being... well, her, it was enough for me to completely lose my mind.

“Come closer,” I instructed her.

She seemed unsure for a second, but then did as I instructed and placed herself in front of me. I placed my hands on her hips, just feeling all of that soft skin of hers.

“Where the hell have you been?” I whispered before I leaned in and left a small kiss on her stomach.

She gasped so sweetly.

“Not far...” she whispered.

I chuckled. No, she had not been far, and yet I was only running into her now because she liked to stay out of sight. She liked to hide, but there was no more hiding.

I was going to have her tonight. I was going to feel what it meant to be fully connected with my mate and what it would be like to please her.

“No more hiding,” I declared, looking up at her.

She met my eyes and pushed some of her hair behind her ear.

“You won’t just give up, will you?” she inquired.

I shook my head.

“I’m not really known for giving up,” I responded.

She reached out and placed her hand on my cheek, and I felt calmer than ever. How did she have such power over me? I had no idea, but I never wanted her to stop.

I never wanted this moment to end, because now I understood. I knew what I had been missing, and I knew what all the others were feeling. I even understood Kate better and why she couldn’t live without her own mate.

“Lucian...”

The way she said my name... damn, it made me go crazy. I quickly turned us around, so she ended up on the bed on her back, and I positioned myself between her legs.

Leaning closer, I kissed her hard, and she responded eagerly. I loved kissing her. I could never get enough. I just wanted it to last forever, but I also wanted to feel her. Feel how ready she was for me.

I reached between us, and her p*ssy was dripping. She might have told me she wanted me to go, but her body wanted me close. She let out a little scream at the first contact and then leaned her head back as I started to give her cl*t the attention it clearly needed.

“You shouldn’t have run from me,” I whispered against her lips. “I could have taken care of this much sooner.”

She panted against my mouth before kissing me again, and I continued to work her hard and fast, wanting to see how beautiful she looked when she came.

“Lucian... please...”

“Please what?” I teased, relishing in her desperation.

She could barely form words, her desperation for release evident. I was eager to see her come undone.

“Just don’t... oh, Goddess, don’t stop.”

I didn’t, and soon I pushed her over the edge. She clung to me, trying to focus on kissing me as she came. Her sweet sounds went straight to my c*ck, making me even harder, if that was possible.

I was desperate to be inside her, yet I wanted a small taste too. I removed my hand as she slumped down on the bed and licked my fingers clean of her juices, savoring her sweet slick.

“You really shouldn’t have run,” I said, reaching down to free my c*ck from my pants.

Cecilia opened her eyes and looked at me. I opened her legs wider, wrapping them around me, but just as I was about to enter her, I noticed something change in her expression.

It was as if she was putting up a wall between us, hesitating. She was still thinking too much, I realized. One org*sm hadn’t calmed her fears, and I leaned closer, kissing her.

“Don’t shut me out now,” I whispered.

“Just... do it,” she said, her tone almost resigned.

I shook my head and started to kiss my way down her body.

“Lucian!”

But I silenced her with a gentle kiss on her lips before moving to suck on one of her n*****s. She moaned and leaned her head back as I sucked a little harder, giving it a last lick before kissing my way down her stomach.

I wanted her to enjoy this and not feel obligated because we were mates. Besides, I didn’t mind getting another taste. I spread her wide open for me, admiring every inch of her, before swiping my tongue through her wetness.

She gasped and reached for me, pulling me closer as I focused on her cl*t, playing with it with my tongue. Her grip tightened on my hair, the pleasure intensifying.

“Goddess! Lucian!” she called out, on the brink of ecstasy, but then I pulled away.

She looked up at me, confusion evident in her eyes, but the desire overshadowed her fears.

“W-What are you doing?” she asked.

I flipped her around, her expression still puzzled as I positioned her on all fours.

“Making sure you enjoy this,” I whispered into her ear before sliding inside her, pleasure washing over both of us.

Never before had s*x felt this incredible. I had barely entered her, yet I struggled to control myself from reaching climax. Her p*ssy was hot and wet, making it effortless to slide inside.

She squeezed me tightly, adjusting to my size, and pushed back, urging me to move. Gripping her hips firmly, I began to thrust. Her moans grew louder, signaling she was close. I had kept her on the edge deliberately. I wanted to experience what it was like to be inside her when she came.

“F*ck... you’re so f*cking perfect!” I growled.

Driven by desire, I quickened my pace, desperate to climax inside her. Reaching around her, I found her cl*t, rubbing it with my fingers. She couldn’t hold back any longer. She screamed and climaxed, her p*ssy contracting around me and pushing me over the edge as well.

We remained entwined for a while, both of us trying to catch our breath. I had hoped to prolong the moment, but Cecilia was driving me wild. In some inexplicable way, she was the hottest woman I had ever been with.

I couldn’t fathom it, considering I hardly knew her. I hoped she felt the same way, but when we finally caught our breath, she moved away from me, quickly dressing and adopting a cold demeanor. I adjusted my clothes, watching her with confusion.

“Now you can go,” she said.

What?!

“You got what you wanted, so now you can leave,” she said. I couldn’t believe it, and it infuriated me beyond measure.

I had left others’ places after a quick encounter, and others had left mine, but they had meant nothing to me. Cecilia meant everything, despite having met her just today. I couldn’t help it. She was my mate!

“What?” she asked when I simply stared at her.

“You think that’s all I came for?” I challenged, rising to my feet.

She hugged herself, avoiding my gaze in what seemed like a guilty manner, but I saw through her. She was pushing me away because she was startled by how much she enjoyed our time together.

It had been incredible, and I wanted to experience it all over again. I wanted us to f*ck until we were both sweaty messes, then fall asleep wrapped in each other’s arms, only to wake up and do it all over again.

I wanted every moment and every day with her. I had waited so long for her. I wasn’t about to let her slip away now.

“Isn’t it?” she questioned.

I approached her, cupping her jaw to make her meet my gaze. She looked up at me, shocked, but I wasn’t being rough. I just needed her to see me.

“I want you,” I confessed. “All of you.”

“Lucian... No.”

“I know you’re scared. I remember what you said about falling in love with me. But listen to me, Cecilia. That’s exactly what’s going to happen. I will make you fall in love with me, and that’s a promise I intend to keep. So be prepared. I’m far from finished.”

She stared at me, astonished, and I took a moment to memorize every detail about her before turning away and climbing back through her window, returning home to give us both a chance to lick our wounds before the battle continued.
