-Harley's POV-
My lips tremble.
I want him but this is a kind of want that I have never felt before. It is so intense.
He looks at me with his lips parted and starts taking in deep and fast breaths.
"Noah..." I whisper.
Suddenly he cups my face with both his hands and leans in but stops just an inch from my face. His eyes meet mine and his breath tickles my lips.
"Say it again." He whispers.
"Say... what?"
"My name."
I hesitate but not for long. "Noah." I whisper.
His forehead touches mine, our noses fit next to each other perfectly and he just stares into my eyes.
My lips are dry and I know that if I make just one move, our lips would lock together.
As I feel his warmth, I close my eyes just feeling his presence. It is strange that it feels like I can actually feel him, his aura.
In the back of my head, I am waiting for that moment that happens in every movie or book, when we get interrupted and abruptly pull away but that moment doesn't come. As the seconds pass, the urge to kiss him does not get any better, in fact, it intensifies the longer he is so close to me.
I slowly open my eyes and see him looking at me through hooded eyes, making him look even more sexy and tempting.
I take in a deep breath and I know immediately that was a mistake. His breath mingles with mine and his scent enters my senses.
Unable to take it anymore, I lean in and graze his lips with mine. As if that is all he needed, he passionately wraps his arms around me and kisses me. I melt into his arms. My legs grow weak and give out but he holds me against him as his lips press to mine as if they were glued. I can't even breathe at this moment.
My hands clutch his shirt and I pull him closer though it is completely impossible for him to be any closer.
With my not-so-functional legs, he picks me up. He continues to kiss me—our mouths have not separated once— as he walks towards the huge bed in the middle of the room where he lies me. He lies on top of me and continues to kiss me. My body automatically acclimates to him. My legs spread and wrap around him. His right hand quickly goes to my thigh and he gropes it.
His lips suddenly open and his tongue caresses my lips. I open my lips and his tongue softly enters and caresses mine while his hands start to explore my body.
He starts to move away from my lips and go down my cheek and to my neck where he kisses and sucks. I hold my moans in as he does this but I want to feel him in my core. I start moving my hips and grind on him. I can feel how hard he is through his pants.
He grunts and starts thrusting his hips against mine. At first, it is slow but he then starts to do it faster and harder as if we actually were having s*x and I love it. It feels so damn good.
He suddenly rolls us around. His hands on my hips move me in place to sit on his waist and he pulls me down to kiss him. Then, he starts kissing down my neck again but at that same moment his hands go up my stomach and he lifts my shirt up along with my bra and my boobs peek out from under it. He wastes no time and latches on to one with his mouth. A tingling sensation goes through my body and I moan.
I wrap my arms around him, basically hugging his head while he sucks on my breast but his hands are on my ass. He slides my pants down on the back and my butt cheeks come out, then he grapples them tightly and starts moving my hips to make me grind on him, which I do.
I start moaning and he does the same, though his moans are muffled because of how occupied his mouth is.
His fingers suddenly dig into me and he growls, then quickly turns us around. In a very skilled and swift motion, he slides my pants down with speed and they fall on the floor.
I can see that he has lost all senses and so have I. This is raw but it feels perfect. I want him in every single way.
Unzipping his pants, he gets in between my legs. His body crashes down on mine and he kisses me while he takes his member out and starts sliding it over my underwear which by the way it is now very wet.
I grab onto him and hug him tight as my eyes close and I make all manners of pleasurable faces. We moan and get more desperate. His hand suddenly slides down and goes between my legs where he slides my underwear to the side and now his member slides on top of my skin and clit, giving us both even more pleasure.
He continues to move his hips, rubbing himself against me while one hand grips my hip and the other cups and rubs my breast.
This is when he starts kissing down my neck and then stops at a sweet spot where he sucks and nibbles over and over.
My body craves him and I want him completely inside of me.
"Uh... I want more, Noah!" I softly moan.
His body suddenly jerks and stops. His eyes snap completely open and alert.
"Fuck..." He whispers.
He lifts himself up with a horrified expression on his face.
"Oh fuck... I can't." He says. "I can't be doing this..."
"What?" I ask out of breath and confused because I know he wanted this and so did I. We were both enjoying it and I was about to completely give in to him. I mean I swear I was even about to have an orgasm just by rubbing our bodies together like that.
He completely gets up, puts his member back in his pants, and backs away from me.
I suddenly feel embarrassed. I immediately close my legs as I sit up and fix my clothes.
He looks to the side completely out of it.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" He mumbles.
I get up, grab my pants, and put them back on.
I start to think the same thing. What is wrong with me? Because we just met and though I do enjoy s*x, I would have never in my right mind gone this far with someone I had just met. And the thing is that even now I still want to give in.
I look at him and catch him staring at me, looking so confused.
"What happened?" I ask.
I am not sure if I am asking him why did he stop, or why did we lose control so easily. Maybe both.
His lips quiver but I can tell that he doesn't know what to say.
"Uhm... If you need anything... let me know..." He says and starts walking out.
"Let... you know?... how?" I ask.
"You are free to walk around the house but not outside." He says sprinting out of the room.
I look down. I want to laugh because he was still hard and it is very visible through his pants but I am still shocked at what we did. Though...the guy is blessed with a good size and width, that much I was able to see.
He closes the door behind him and I take a deep breath.
That was a very steamy makeout session.
I sit on my bed feeling dazed.
"I met this guy—what? Yesterday? And here I was about to give myself completely to him? What is wrong with me? I was flirting with Jessie for almost two months before we even slept together."
("s****l needs are normal. Every living creature has them.") Archion suddenly says.
I gasp. "Where you watching!?"
("No! The moment I saw you two acting like lustful fools, I went to sleep!") He shouts.
I cross my arms, pouting. "You-"
He doesn't let me finish ("I am not a pervert!")
I start laughing. I do believe him when he says he wasn't watching. One thing mom always said about Archion was that he never lied and she was one hundred percent sure about that.
"Alright, let's forget about what just happened. What do we do now? How can we save our family?"
("Harley, we need to pause. We need to watch, wait and learn.")
"Watch, wait, and learn?"
("Yes, we watch and wait for what happens next and learn. We don't even know who the enemy is. Did we even ask Alpha Korbyn?")
I get up and stomp my way out of the room. "No, we didn't. But we are going to now!"
I walk through the halls all the way down to the Alpha's office. I want to just go through the doors without announcing myself but I know better than to barge into an Alpha's office especially when uninvited.
I knock.
"Yeah?" Alpha Korbyn quickly asks.
"I need to talk to you." I say but I keep my tone neutral.
If I come aggressive at him, that would just piss him off.
After a few seconds pass, he finally speaks. "Come in."
I open the door and stride in. The moment my feet touches the inside of the office, I can feel his eyes on me.
I make it to the front of his desk. He is quiet and waits.
Now here in front of him, I am not feeling so brave anymore. Alpha's auras are very intimidating and I am sure that even humans can feel the menacing feeling.
"I... just wanted to know a few things." I say
"Like what?" He sternly asks.
"Well, who attacked my pack?"
"We are not sure. Honestly, we don't have much information on who attacked. But we think that it was a pack of rogues led by someone else."
I look down thinking and taking in this information because it doesn't make sense.
"You said... pack?" I ask.
"Yes."
"Of rogues?"
"Yes."
"A pack of rogues?" I ask.
He stares at me and I can see his frustration building up.
"But rogues don't have packs." I say.
"I am very well aware of that." He says. "I am assuming that whoever was leading them, managed to get them to comply and act as a pack."
"And who is that?"
Was it that woman? But she called someone else master. Maybe it is someone else.
"I have no idea." He squints his eyes at me. "What is it that you saw when you fled?"
I look down, thinking for a bit but then I tell him what happened.
"It is a possibility that it was witches or maybe even hunters." He says.
"There was also something else." I say.
"What?"
"Well... that woman that stopped us made this dark gray mist come down on us... it killed two warriors of our pack that were with me and my brother."
"Really? Then it really could have been witches." He mumbles.
"But... it was strange."
"How so?"
"She called someone master. She said that all she wanted was for her master to ascend."
He sits in his chair thinking. Silence fills the room.
"It still could have been witches. The fact is, that we really don't know who the enemy really is. We have to wait and see if they reveal their cards or if my men can infiltrate them."
"But... why?" Why can't we make a plan and attack them, take my family back? There are ways that we could go unnoticed. And I have Archion."
He looks at me. "Because...the enemy must have been really strong to have taken all of you down. The most feared pack in the land with not one, but three draconians."
"That's because they took us by surprise." I cry out. "They knew what they were doing, while we on the other hand didn't know who we were fighting."
"Exactly, it comes down to that. Figuring out who your enemy is." He says.
I get what he is saying but it kills me inside that I can't help my family.
("I don't like him... but he is right.") Archion says.
I close my eyes, accepting it all. They are right and I hate it.
I nod. "Okay... I'll wait." I say.
I turn around and start walking out.
"I can't keep you here." He suddenly says.
I immediately look back. "But... why?"
“Not even fifteen minutes ago, rogues were spotted near our borders. It might be them looking for you."
