Damian
Fuck. Fuck. What was I doing? I was about to kiss Evelyn. It was not my intention, but her proximity made me want to claim her right on my dining table, a hunger I had never felt before, what the hell is happening with me.
I still remembered her face, the disappointment and agony in her eyes when she thought those women from harem were mine. Why had she been sad, and why did I even bother to correct her that they were not my women?
It was true. I had never touched any woman, In my entire life, my thirst for blood was all I had, never desired a woman. And I still didn't understand why I even brought her here when the future was dangerous and ready to snatch everything I held dear.
But when I saw her, everything in me screamed to be near her, to have her in my life. My beast was restless. One look at her and I was fucking ruined. I ran my hand over my head. She affected me, no doubt, and the way her arousal rose, I was damn sure she felt my effect on her too.
It was far past midnight and the desire to see her was making me crazy. We were about to kiss, but something snapped in her and she ran away. Fuck. I need to taste her. Soon I would kiss her, and just thinking about it made me hard.
Whenever she was around me my cock stirred like it had its own brain, which it never had before. I sighed. I was thinking too much about her when I had a mission.
My lord." Jacob's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
I sat straight. "Any news about him?"
"Yes, my lord. Our sources say he was moving towards the east."
I raised my brows. "How? Last time I had injured him badly — so how was Alrik moving so freely?
"My lord, we heard a wizard was helping him."
"Find out who the wizard is," I said. "You can go now, Jacob." He bowed and walked out of the room.
Alrik. This name made me angrier than anything ever had.
Soon, Alrik. Your end is near. This time I will not spare you.
My eyes drifted toward the direction where Evelyn is staying. She was surely sleeping. Before I could think straight, my steps moved toward that direction.
*******
Evelyn Pov
Lying on the bed, I turned onto my side restlessly but I could not sleep. I think my sleep was angry with me today. I checked the time on my phone, wow it's already past midnight. My brows are knitted. I had never been awake this late an hour before. It was probably because of Damian. This man had ruined my senses. I still felt the heat of his fingers when he caressed my cheeks. I felt embarrassed that he had smelled my arousal.
Werewolves had a large sexual desire, so it was natural that I felt that pull toward him, my body was always heated and aroused around him.
Wait. Heat. Oh no.
I had forgotten about it. After one week, the full moon night was coming, and every wolf who was mated but hadn't been with their mate would experience unbearable arousal and pain. It made things very difficult for a wolf.
What should I do?
'We would ask Damian to mate with us', Eva said happily, wagging her tail like she had been waiting for that day.
'No, Eva. How could we? He forcefully brought us here. Did you forget that'?
'But he let our people go without a fight, Evelyn. Did you forget that? Even after your behaviour was rude, he didn't do anything bad to us'.
I sighed. That was true, though. He hadn't misbehaved or done anything that made me fear him.
Suddenly a thought struck me: how would it feel like to fuc— oh, Goddess, what was I thinking?
Eva chuckled. 'I am damn sure he would fuck us with vampire speed, like we belong to him'.
Heat crept up my skin and I blushed. 'Stop it, Eva'. But she was already sending me images of Damian and I together, intimate and vivid, straight into my head.
I pushed myself up from the bed. My room was only lit by a firelight. I would ask Damian for electric lighting in this room.
I took a step toward my door. Something was pulling me out of my room. I opened it and stepped into the hallway. At this hour it was darker than evening and looked scary, only torches were lit, their flames flickering in the dark.
I took a few steps. No one was around. I should have gone back to my room. Just as I turned back, I heard a sound — more like someone's breath. I alerted Eva too, both of us ready to shift if danger came our way.
Before I could think, it happened. I was suddenly pinned against the wall. My eyes widened at the sudden movement, but then my nostrils filled with my favourite scent, familiar warmth and I relaxed.
Damian stood before me, red eyes.
"What are you doing here, little wolf?" he said, his voice husky.
"I told you not to roam at night." Both his hands were planted against the wall on either side of my head.
My grip tightened on my pajama wait!. Not my pajamas. I wore shorts today, which was barely covering my hips, and a crop top.
Fuck. My nipples tightened. Oh no. Not again. His proximity, especially the way he was staring at me with those hooded eyes.
"I am asking you something, little wolf."I wasn't able to meet his gaze.
"I wasn't able to fall asleep, so I thought I would take a short walk," I said, avoiding his eyes.
"With these clothes?" he asked.
I faced him. His eyes were roaming my body, slowly, from top to bottom. Heat crept into my cheeks; his eyes also turned more red and dangerous.
"What's wrong with my dress"? I wanted to say it confidently, but it came out sultry instead. My arousal slowly filled the air.
Finally, I was losing my senses.
"Why are you wet, little wolf? I could smell your arousal" he asked, his hands shifting to my waist and his face coming closer. Soon my breath was mixing with his. Eva had already lost her sense, and I felt it too — like I was ready to surrender, to let him do whatever he wanted with me. I blamed the mate bond.
My breath hitched. He buried his face into my neck and took a deep breath. Get a grip, Evelyn. Shove him away, push, push.
I knew I couldn't, because my own hands had found their way to his shoulders. He tensed too. Then slowly, he lifted his face from my neck. Our eyes locked with each other. His gaze flicked to my lips, and he moved closer, slowly, to kiss me. My eyes closed in anticipation. I couldn't fight this anymore.
But before our lips could touch, his hold loosened and with lightning speed he stepped away from me. I opened my eyes. He stood at a distance, his back to me.
"Go back to your room, little wolf." His voice was controlled and dangerous. After saying that, he disappeared further into the darkness.
Eva whimpered in disappointment. I missed his touch already. Why had he stopped, was it because of the morning incident?
I didn't want to admit it, but I was excited for my first kiss. I sighed and made my way back to my room.
Fuck. Now I was even more restless than before.
I guess, no sleep today.
