"Let's sleep together like yesterday."
My mouth hung open. 'Of course we would', Eva said in my head, happy. Me? Well, I didn't know what to say.
I cleared my throat. "I think this is not a good idea," I said, avoiding his gaze. "Besides, I am your guest." The word felt like venom leaving my mouth.
He didn't say anything. My eyes went to him, he was just staring at me. Then he turned and walked to the door. I felt pain, he was going, and Eva snapped at me in my head.
I thought he had walked out of the room, but then I heard the sound of my room door closing. With lightning speed, Damian locked the door and was on my bed.
"Thank you, little wolf, for letting me stay with you." I narrowed my eyes.
"What is that supposed to mean, my tyrant king?"
He didn't reply. This man ignored my questions so many times. He just lay on my bed, one hand under his head while the other gently caressed the empty side of the bed.
"Come, little wolf. Time for sleep."
"So you would sleep here tonight?"
He nodded.
I sighed. I went to the bed and lay beside him. We had already slept together last night and kissed before — our relationship was closer than before.
I didn't stop him from coming closer. Because he is my mate. I belong to him. His proximity gives me immense pleasure. But why does he want me close, want to touch me, even when he confirmed nothing — he doesn't even know I am his mate.
Within a few seconds I found myself caged in his arms. I huffed. "Don't you think you are so clingy, Damian? Stop."
"I can't stop myself when you are this close to me."
"Why?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I like your warm, soft body against me." His hold on me grew tighter.
"What about me? This place is already cold and your body feels like an AC.. and not to forget your hard body, like I am hugging a stone."
He chuckled. "It's okay, little wolf. You will get used to it."
You will get used to it. Is he planning to sleep with me daily?
'Wow, my dream came true.. to sleep every night in my mate's arms', Eva said, pacing in my head.
I didn't say anything. Just caged in his arms. I don't know what got into me, but I started caressing his hard, naked back, when did he remove his coat.
He stilled at my touch. My gaze shifted to him — he was staring at my lips with hooded eyes, his eyes turning dark red. Oh goddess. I think my eyes were staring at him the same way.
He closed the distance and the next second I felt his cold lips pressed against mine. He kissed me softly, his touch so light on my body that I shivered, and I kissed him back.
Soon our soft kiss turned wild and desperate. Damian's arm wrapped around my waist, gently pulling me closer against him while his other hand slid into my hair, gripping it lightly.
My heart raced as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against mine, exploring my mouth hungrily. Our lips moved against each other like we were starving.
My breath started becoming uneven. I lightly tapped his arm. Finally he broke the kiss. I was still breathing heavily, then finally became normal.
"So you came here to kiss me?" I asked.
He caressed my lower lip with his thumb, still staring at me with longing.
"It's just a kiss, little wolf. I promise." His voice was husky. I gulped.. the way he was staring at my lips, it seemed like he wanted more.
"Umm, I—" Before I could say something, he came closer, for another kiss.
My eyes closed in anticipation. Again we were kissing, crazily, wildly, like there was no tomorrow.
A few moments later I lay on my back and he was above me, not ready to leave me. His one hand roaming over my body, especially on my butt, like he owned me. And I didn't stop him.
We kissed for a few more minutes. I moaned — ahh — as his fangs pierced my lower lip and I tasted blood. But surprisingly it didn't give me pain. Finally he left my lips. They healed right away, thanks to my wolf healing power.
"Sorry," he said. "I hurt your lips. I will keep these fangs under control."
I nodded, unable to meet his eyes, feeling shy — especially after our hot kiss. He moved from on top of me and lay beside me, still hugging me.
I buried my head into his chest, a smile threatening to break out. Thank goddess he could not see me. I closed my eyes, replaying that wild kissing scene, feeling secure in his arms, and finally drifted to sleep.
The next morning my eyes slowly opened, sunlight streamed into my room. I sat up on the bed. Damian was not there.. he had probably left very early.
Oh goddess. Last night was... I can't believe I let him do whatever he wanted with me. At that moment I'm sure I couldn't stop myself. I need to be more careful.
At least until I see his real face.
The rest of my day was good, just like every other day. And when night came — well, he took me to his room so we could sleep together. And of course, like every time, I didn't stop him.
Today was the day we were going to someone's birthday party. Not even Damian's friend's birthday.
"Little wolf, you know today we are going," he said. I nodded.
"Yes, I know. But what about our training session?" I asked.
"Oh, that — it's okay, one day won't harm. But if you want, I can teach you a few more things," he said, a teasing smile tugging at his lips.
"Right now? But it's noon and the sunlight bothers you."
"Who told you we need to go outside? Here, in your room, I would teach you about my moves."
"Oh Okay, what would you teach me then?" I asked, ready to learn something.
"Well, little wolf, you need to focus on me. Stare at me like a hawk.. try to know when I'm going to come closer to you and kiss you."
My eyes narrowed. "Are you not just trying to be clever here?"
"I am always smart. That is why I am king," he said proudly.
"Tyrant king," I corrected him.
I was watching him. I had a feeling — damn. He came forward and stole a quick kiss before running back.
Damn, I knew he would do that. Eva laughed. I smiled too.
Evening took its sweet time to arrive. I chose a decent cocktail dress, knee-length, for the birthday.
Thank goddess Tod had brought almost all my clothes here. 'He was Tom, not Tod', Eva corrected me. Oh yes.. I always forget people's names.
Catherine came by to ask if I needed any help, but I politely refused. I love getting ready by myself.
'Our sister-in-law is so kind', Eva said softly. Yes… I agreed with the kind part.
I saw my reflection in the mirror, 'not bad, Evelyn. You look hot', Eva praised me. I did a better job choosing this dress. I was just about to finish my makeup when I heard a knock. I think it was Damian.
I went to the door and opened it — and what could I do? I just stood there, staring at him with wide eyes.
