The Mating Games

Chapter Fifteen:

PRINCE ARES:

I can see that my response has Eloise blushing and feeling flustered. She wants to know where I am taking her so that she can understand where the night is headed, but she doesn’t need to think very far to imagine all the dirty things I want to do to her tonight. Of course, I do want her to feel like the woman that she is tonight. Worshipped, loved, honored, a queen…

“Mmmm, but I want you to touch me now.”

Eloise slides her hand down my arm, pulls me closer, and nestles her nose into my neck. I chuckle at the motion, but it also makes me start skipping steps. I hear the clock chime for eleven in the evening and my heart races as I feel the s****l pull deepen.

“You smell soooooo good. Why do you smell so good all the time? You seriously have THE BEST cologne.”

Her words make me chuckle more and she smiles as I laugh. She also smells heavenly, but not for the reasons she thinks.

“I don’t wear cologne, Eloise. Wolves don’t wear cologne, because it hides our scent from our mates.”

She lifts an eyebrow up at me and thinks about what I said. She looks adorable when she’s deep in thought.

“How do mates catch onto each other's scents?”

My steps slightly slow at her question. f**k.

“Uh, well, they feel super attracted to the smell of their mate. It’s like smelling something so intensely great that provides you comfort, ease, calm, desire or happiness when you need it.”

She seems to think about what I have said and I look back adoringly into her greeny-brown eyes. Her small smile falters a little despite the emotion we are sharing right now.

“Well, if you smell this amazing to me, I can hardly imagine how great you would smell to your uh- to your mate.”

Her words trail off a little and my legs start to feel heavy as I reach the last step to my floor. How do I respond to that? How do I make her feel everything I am feeling, but without the words? I can see in her eyes that there is a small flicker of sadness at the idea of me having a mate. She is, after all, a fae girl RIGHT NOW who knows no better. I need her to figure this out for herself. She needs to know what she means to me.

“Eloise, listen to me. The only thing that matters to me right now is you. What you said yesterday is true. The only person I look for in a room of people is you and the only person I think about as I wake in the morning and close my eyes at night, is you. I need you to know that.”

“And tomorrow when you wake up and realize that the spring equinox is over?”

I can see this pains her and this is the last thing I want for Eloise. This is the last thing I want for myself too. Does she think I am going to reject her? That word alone makes bile rise up to my throat.

“Eloise, surely you can feel in your heart that this goes beyond the equinox?”

Silence. One set of eyes collides with another.

“You have me, Eloise. I am yours. I will always be yours. You have captured my heart as no other has ever before and you said yourself, tonight I needed to choose. Well, let me let you in on a little secret. YOU have NEVER been something that I question or need to consider. I choose you and NOTHING could ever make me choose otherwise. I knew from the minute my nostrils took in your scent and you stood up from that little couch in your room that you are someone I choose. I will carry on choosing you forever, Eloise.”

Electricity starts to bubble between us as I open the door to my room. I can see her nostrils taking in all of my scents, her skin lifts into goose bumps and her eyes scan over the dark shades of wood and linen and I smile knowingly. She gently lets go of me and wonders around and man, I would be lying to you if I said that having her in my personal haven didn’t do something to my already hard c**k.

“Your room?”

She asks and I nod.

“Ours, if you will have me, baby.”

“But, why?”

I take her hand in mine and I plant small kisses on it before moving my lips up her soft arm until they are resting in the crook of her neck. She so naturally presses against me and leans her head to the side, giving me better access.

“Do you feel that?”

She moans as I graze my teeth against her soft skin.

“Mmmmm…”

I plant another kiss on her collar bone.

“Do you feel this too?”

Tingles erupt as my fingers run down her neck and across the cleavage of her plump chest. I allow my hand to dip under her dress and I take her hard n****e into my hand, earning me another delicious moan from her pink lips.

“Words, Eloise.”

“I, uh, I f-feel it.”

I dip my head down so that her darkened eyes are looking into my darkened ones. A wave of desire pulses through me as I stare into her black orbs. If only she knew how magnificent she looks right now. So far from the little fae, she thinks she is. Goddess, a woman even more powerful than I ever thought is staring back at me right now and this excites me and scares the s**t out of me all at once. It's why I ran away the first time I saw it. I have always felt this enormous pull towards Eloise and at first, it annoyed the living wolf out of me. It was only on that day by the stream when we kissed, did I even begin to understand the gravity of our relationship. The more heated we became, the more her true form started to show itself and when her dark eyes looked into my soul, it all snapped into place and I have never been the same again. Of course, she seems to have no idea. I breathe out at the thought and look down into her eyes again. The eyes of my other half. A woman so beautiful, so clever, so kind, so resilient and strong…

“Do you know why you feel these things, Eloise?”

She steals a needy kiss from my lips as her fingers fumble to remove my shirt. I start to also rub my hands up and down the juicy curves of her side. My fingertips brush against and squeeze at the soft edges of her dress and my own mind runs wild with images of what it might feel like without anything covering her.

“I, uh, I feel them because…”

More kisses, this time a little more desperate and hungry. Goddess, she is going to be the death of me tonight. Our tongues swiftly entwine and we both moan as my shirt lands up on the floor. Her hands explore my chest and I close my eyes at the feeling I have so badly wanted to experience since meeting her.

“Because…”

Her fingers start to play with the button of my pants and I grab her hands, causing her to look into my eyes.

“Because?”

Black on black meet with passion, longing, need, and burning. Her eyes flash and mine do too, showing me that her wolf is at present as mine. She has no idea that she is so much more than a fairy girl and f**k me, my heart jolts with excitement as my wolf howls.

“Because you are MINE!”

There you go. I smile at her expression as she covers her mouth in shock. Her body starts to walk slowly backward, almost as if she has no idea what the hell is going on. I can still smell her thick arousal floating in the air and it becomes worse as I start to unbutton my shirt.

“That’s right, baby and you are MINE!”

I growl it out and discard my shirt to the floor. I love the feeling of her black eyes burning over my skin as she takes in my frame. She has no idea how her little attempt to get further from me is only making my wolf even more hungry for the chase.

“Ares, what…”

Her n*****s perk up through the dress and this is the final straw for me. I wasn’t sure what tonight would bring, or even how this would all plan out, but I am tired of talking. When my lips meet hers, it is like all the world around us disappears into a bubble of ecstasy. She has no idea what she does to me as her hand so naturally slides to around my neck. I grab a fist full of her curls and pull her deeper into the kiss, which she responds to by opening her mouth for me to go in. f**k! My other hand slides down her backless dress to where the tiny ribbon holding it all together sits. I smirk, loving how her skin rises under my touch and makes her breathing hitch.

“Do you have any idea how magnificent you are, Eloise?”

She bites her lip as I whisper these words against her neck. I kiss down on her marking spot and she shudders whilst leaving behind an even more sweet scent for me. I close my eyes for a second to savor it and when they open, I see Eloise taking a step back with red cheeks. I open my mouth to ask her what’s going on, but my body becomes frozen as she clicks her finger and the brown dress falls to her ankles, leaving her in front of me with nothing but a black, lacy thong and stockings on. I thought I couldn’t get more turned on, but I was wrong. I have to blink a few times to keep my wolf from completely losing it and my mouth opens and shuts a few times.

“Cat got your tongue, Prince Ares?”

She steps out of her dress and her perky breasts bounce a little, which is all I needed to snap. The soft chimes for quarter past eleven become the steady beat as my arms pick her up and walk her over to the bed. She gasps as I gently throw her down onto the plush covers and I use the opportunity to give her another small kiss on her lips. Her breathing increases as I trail my hands down to squeeze her soft mounds. I smirk as she lets out a moan and rolls her hips up to grind against my member. I meet her little rhythm each time and my own eyes roll back as her hand decides to grab me through my pants.

“f**k…”

She rolls me over with a strength I don’t think she knew she had or even me. I look down and see her hands fiddling with my pants and I smirk again. It doesn’t last long as she unzips me and with crazy speed has my pants off my legs. I am not sure what she was expecting, but her eyes widen, and her lips slightly part as she looks down at my member.

“Cat got your tongue, baby?”

It’s my turn to jest as she stares down at me, as if unsure what to do. I chuckle because I can feel her warmth and need, but her frantic heart tells me another story. I quickly sit up and take her hand, giving it a gentle peck. Her cheeks are flushed and her breathing is irregular. My kisses trail up her arm and eventually, I am pulling her onto my lap so that I can kiss her on the mouth. I don’t want my girl to feel nervous. f**k, I would love nothing more than to roll her over and pound into her, but I know I need to be the bigger man here and take care of her needs first. She has never done this before and she deserves to feel like the Queen that she is. Our kiss carries on for a while, this time more slow and deep and sensual. I love the feeling of her breasts pressed tightly against my chest as her legs straddle each side of my lap. I love the way her hands can't help but slide all over my back and mine do the same as if we have to touch each and every part of one another. What I love even more are the little moans she lets slip when my kisses go across her jaw and down to her neck. I sniff in her sweet scent again and just like before, Eloise starts to grind her hips against my member as if desperate for any sort of friction. I smile at this and roll us over so she is under.

“Enough kissing. I want a little taste.”

She looks at me with confusion that morphs into shock as I rip her little thong off, along with the stockings, and throw them across the floor.

“Ares, wh-what?”

She can hardly form words.

“Spread your legs for me, Eloise. I want to see all of you.”

I know it seems brash, but I want her to give herself to me willingly and feel beautiful doing it. My eyes darken as her cheeks flush even brighter and her legs slowly start to spread. My eyes never leave hers and when they do, I can't help the low growl from escaping my throat as I take in all of her moisture.

“MINE!”

ELOISE:

His lips and tongue hit my core and the continuous growling from his chest and the sensation he is giving me with his mouth are making me feel things I have never felt before. Tingles spread through me, overwhelming every part of my body and soul.

“You taste divine, Eloise!”

How do I even respond to that? My eyes roll back as he nips on my delicate bead and then sucks on it. My legs slowly slide up and he holds my thighs on either side of his head. Goddess, looking down at the sight below me is too much, so I rather close them and focus on the feeling. His tongue dips into me and I grab his hair to push him further into me.

“Aaaaah!”

The feeling builds.

And builds.

And builds.

Until, nothing. My eyes snap open and I see Ares watching me with black, onyx eyes and a killer smirk on his face. He has an impossible grip on my inner thighs and he looks very proud of himself. I huff out from the lost feeling inside my core.

“Ares!”

“No moaning, baby. I want your first orgasm to be whilst I am inside you.”

My mouth shuts at his words and my heart feels like it is going to burst from its seams. While he is inside me? His hard body slides up mine until his lips are back on mine and we are tasting myself in the kiss. My hands so naturally go down his body and I can’t help but squeeze his backside, causing him to grind his member perfectly between my slick folds. We both moan.

“I want you, Ares. I want all of you.”

His eyes find mine again with a different type of look. The gentle kisses on my nose are so laced with adoration, but they become sloppier and more heated as he goes down to my neck and positions the tip of himself at my entrance. I look down at him on top of me and see his thickness between my legs. It looks like he might break me in half, but isn’t that what I want? I want him to make me his in EVERY way.

“I love you, Eloise. You are everything…”

His body lowers down onto mine and each moment closer brings him deeper and deeper into me. My eyes roll back and a tear rolls down my cheek as I lose every bit of sense inside me. Did he just tell me he loves me? Did he say I was his everything? I think the pain and pleasure and the density inside me have made me go mad. His lips find my cheek and kiss away every tear.

“Ow!”

I moan and wiggle a tiny bit, causing him to hiss and hold my hips steady. I can hear him mumbling about how tight I am.

“Stay still, baby. It will feel better soon.”

I can’t form words so I only moan and nod as I allow my body to mold around his. Tentatively, Ares kisses and sucks at my lips, my neck, my breasts, and every part of me that he can reach and slowly the pain starts to disappear, leaving nothing but heat and lust and need and want. I lift my hips slightly to find any sort of friction and the air around him and me becomes thicker with s****l tension.

“f**k me, Prince Ares.”

His eyes snap to mine and his lips turn into a smirk.

“Ah…”

“Is this what you want?”

He lifts himself so that his enormous c**k is half out and then he slams down onto me, causing me to moan out.

“YES!”

He does this again and again until I find myself to be a moaning mess at how good he is making me feel. I open my eyes to the feeling of his hand holding my face in place and his gaze searching mine intensely. His body hasn’t let up on its deep, hard, and steady rhythm against mine. My hips meet his with every beat. I close my eyes as I feel him hit against a spot that makes my legs slide up again.

“Look at me, Eloise.”

I listen and he hits that spot again and again…

“I can assure you that I will f**k you however you want later. I will bend you, put you on all fours, and use every part of what you are willing to give me.”

His words send extra heat and desire to my core and my cheeks flush.

“But right now I am making long and hard love to you. I want you to know that. I want you to know what this is because it's something I have never done before with anyone else.”

I don’t know what to say to him, so I lift my lips up to meet his in a kiss that has both our bodies sliding even deeper into the moment. The movements become deeper and faster as he holds my one leg against his. I arch my back a little and his mouth starts to suck on my neck deliciously. My moans start to drown into the sounds of our bodies slapping against each other and his grunts of pleasure and I feel my core starting to build up a feeling that is too much to hold in.

“A-Ares…”

His lips leave my neck and our eyes meet. His flash with longing.

“Come for me, baby. I want to see you come.”

With eyes still open, my body listens to his alpha demand, and waves of pleasure start to ripple from my core all the way down to my toes and all the way up to my eyes. I pant out in pleasure and Ares continues to ride out my orgasm.

“f**k, you're so tight.”

He gets quicker and quicker and somewhere in the mix of his grunts of pleasure, do I hear another small chime as the clock hits eleven forty-five. I allow my hands to trail down his body and I squeeze him against me even harder, which seems to set him off the edge again. The room fills once more with heat as he starts to kiss me more desperately and his teeth start to graze against my neck. Chills erupt down my spine and it feels like I am sucked into a whirlwind of emotion at the sensation. All I can think about is Ares. How everything about him brings me such intense emotion. How much he means to me, even though it's been a week. How his dark eyes drip with promise. How his chiseled features call to me. How I can feel every echo of his heart beating for mine. How I want this type of feeling to last forever. How I want him, forever. The feeling starts as something small but then it starts to bubble until I can’t help myself. My eyesight becomes sharper as a foreign feeling takes over. His scent hits me and all I can think about is how I need to claim him and make him mine, mine…

“MINE!”

It’s like an out-of-body experience. One where I suddenly find myself biting into the neck of the Prince of wolves as he unleashes his large load of seed inside me in one of the most sensational experiences of both of our lives. Everything about the taste of his blood against my lips feels right as my vision blurs and spurs on my own, second orgasm. His taste, his smell, and even the way he feels against me now are even more intense. Even more, overwhelming is the emotion I am feeling at this moment. It feels like I can feel every one of his emotions and hear every one of his thoughts as he comes down from his orgasm. Is this what it is to be in love? What just happened? It's almost as if nothing could separate us. NOTHING!

“Ares…”

The clock chimes and fireworks go off outside, indicating that midnight has arrived and the Spring Equinox is finally at its strongest. I look out the window to see the glowing, bright, full moon calling to me. The longer I stare, the more it draws me in.

“Eloise, wh-what have you done?”

My skin starts to itch and burn. My eyes find the Prince’s again and my breathing becomes ragged as a pain starts to develop in my bones. I look to his neck and see that there are clear bite marks there. Did I bite him? How was I able to…

“Eloise?”

I look at the moon again and try to wipe away the sweat forming on my brow. My breathing becomes shallow and an enormous wave of pain starts to spread through me.

“ELOISE?”

I try to climb off the bed to get closer to the window. The full moon and night air are the only things keeping me calm right now. What is this? I start to pant and blink away at the painful tears forming in my eyes. They seem to even cause hurt as my body goes stiff and rigid with agony. A cracking sound gets me out of my thoughts and I fall to the ground.

“ELOISE!”

I can hear him close by to me and I can feel his hands all over me, trying to bring me comfort, but the pain is too much. A sob escapes my lips and I hear the prince whimpering next to me. Why do I feel his worry? Why do I feel his concern? My eyes find him again and I see he is on the floor next to me and also has a few tears. He looks pained.

“Ares, wh-what is g-going on w-with me?”

I scream again and the bedroom door flies open with a shocked-looking Nate and a worried Linda. A deep growl hits the silence.

“Now isn’t the time for being jealous! f*****g control yourself, Ares!”

Nate tries to control Ares and Linda throws a blanket over me, easing the tension in the room. Another snap and this time it is from my leg. I cry out in pain and everyone rushes to my side.

“W-w-what…”

I can’t even get the words out.

“Shhhh, shhhh, it’s okay baby. You are going to be okay. I am right here with you.”

His words are trying to calm me, but the pain is too much.

“Wh-Why is this h-happening?”

The three of them share a look and another snap causes me to scream.

“You need to allow your body to feel the pain, Eloise. You cannot fight it. You need to let it happen.”

Linda tries to soothe me now, but it only confuses me more.

“LET WHAT HAPPEN?”

I manage to shout now in between losing my breath. A wave of nausea hits me as the greatest ripple of agony starts to bubble in my feet.

“Your shift, Eloise. You are busy shifting into your wolf.”

The words make no sense to me and I feel my emotions run high with confusion and worry. A wolf? How is that possible when I am a fae! Another crack…

“Let it happen, Eloise.”

“SOMEONE GET HER DAD!”

“I am here with you, baby. The more you fight it, the worse it will feel.”

I scream again, this time causing the room around me to slowly fade. All I can hear are worried shouts and a growl before something snaps inside my body and everything goes black for a few seconds.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

A soft whimper gets me to open my eyes to a bright world. I try to get up, but things feel weird and things feel different. I try to make sense of everything around me, but all I can think about is the overwhelming smell around me and the voice in my head screaming the same word over and over and over again.

Mate. Mate. Mate…

I have a mate? Who?

I try to move a little, but I am too tired. Instead, I lie down, noticing the soft brown paws where my hands are supposed to be and I muffle out the voice shouting in my head.

I need to sleep. I am too tired.

My eyes close.
