Chapter 72

Killian:

I wrapped my arm around Eleanor who laid her head on my chest as my driver took us to the plane.

She laid her head on my chest, and I smiled as I kissed her temple. 

I was more than a little thankful for the fact that she was feeling more content around me.

Her heartbeat was calm and she seemed somewhat more confident right now. Her wolf allowing her to shift was something that I was more than happy for. And the fact that she was trusting me enough to want to fix things between us was something that I didn’t know.

“Do you want to drink something, malyshka?” I asked, nodding at the fridge and she shook her head as she looked out the window. I didn’t know when she last went out, and I mean, genuinely went out without feeling like she was under the threat of someone who was searching to hurt her.

“I just want to lay in your arms for a while,” she said, and I smiled. I kissed her temple one more time and she ran her finger over my chest. She looked up at me and I smiled at her, my heart swelling at the fact that she was happy. “Thank you for this.”

“You don’t have to thank me, malyshka.” I said, and she smiled and purred in response. “I am doing this because I want to, and because I am happy doing it,”

“And that is something that I am thanking you for.” She said, and I shook my head in question, waiting for her to elaborate about what she meant. “You are happy doing what you are and that is something that I am more than a little thankful for. To say the least, I wouldn’t have wanted you to do something that you didn’t want to do.”

“I am doing it because I want you to be happy, malyshka.” I said, and she blushed. “As long as I see you with a beautiful smile on your face, I doubt that I can ask for anything else.”

She laid her head back on my chest and I ran my hand over her shoulder, and she smiled as she looked out the window.

“You know, the last time I left the house was when I came to the Estate,” she said, looking up at me for a second. “I remember being so scared and I remember shaking as I kept my eyes on the window, fearing where we were going. I didn’t even know where I came to, and the cuts that I had on my knees.”

I stayed quiet as I listened to her. She didn’t look at me at all as she kept her eyes on the window. “I was scared of what would happen to me when you saw me, if you found out who I was, and if you sent me back to Elton. I didn’t want to go back to him and the fear that I had of being bound to him as a wife was one that I couldn’t describe. It was one that I was dead scared of.”

She turned to face me and she looked up at me with a smile on her face. I ran my finger over her chin gently before pulling her in for a kiss. She pulled away to look me in the eye as she rested her forehead against mine as she took deep and slow breaths, her hot breath hitting my face. “I will forever be thankful for you and no matter how much I describe it, and I know for fact that you will tell me that it wasn’t something that I have to do; but I owe you my life for what you did for me.”

“Eleanor…”

“You won’t understand what I am saying unless you’ve seen what I’ve been through. But I wanted to give up more times than I could count, and something always stopped me. Maybe it was my wolf, maybe it was the belief that something would change, I don’t know,” she said, taking a deep breath, making my heart swell. “You made me come back to life, somehow, you managed to take me out of being that scared female to someone who can speak for herself, and I am going to forever be grateful for you.”

I cupped her cheek and kissed her, letting my lips linger against hers for a few seconds before pulling away to look her in the eye.

“I give you my fucking word, I am going to make him pay.” I said, meaning it with everything that I had. “And he is going to be begging me to die, I give you my word, my beautiful malyshka…”

******************************* 

I smiled as Eleanor and I entered the plane’s bedroom.

Her eyes met mine and I smirked before wrapping my arms around her waist, pulling her to my chest.

“Need I ask what you are doing?” She asked, teasing me as I ran my finger over her waistline before gently slapping her butt. 

“Enjoying my mate as the two of us kill time, don’t you think that it would be a good idea?” She bit her bottom lip as I squeezed her butt gently before tickling her, making her laugh.

I leaned in to connect my lips with hers, and she smiled into the kiss before I lifted her in my arms. I walked toward the bed and laid her down on the bed before hovering over her body. I pulled away from her before stripping her off her clothes. 

I smirked when she blushed, wanting to ‘cover’ her body from my eyes, but I kissed her stomach, stopping her. She put her hand on my head and gently ran her fingers through my hair as I kissed down her stomach, heading toward her center, wanting to please her.

She whimpered, and I smirked before blowing on her entrance as I ran my finger over her clit, drawing circles of eight over it. She moaned and I cleared my throat as her arousal’s scent filled my nostrils. I growled and kissed her clit, licking it gently, making her moan. 

She pulled me closer to her, and I groaned against her, feeling her near her climax. Her heart raced and she went to pull me closer, wanting to cum; however, I took her hand in mine and intertwined our fingers before pulling away from her. Her eyes met mine and I could see her annoyance in her eyes and I chuckled, pulling her hand to my lips and gently kissing her knuckle.

I stripped out of my clothes and hovered over her body once again as my cock brushed against her entrance. Her heart raced against her ribcage and I was sure to keep my eyes on hers. 

“I can stop if you don’t want this,” I whispered, looking her in the eye and she pulled me closer, connecting her lips with mine. I smiled into the kiss and I ran my finger over her cheek. 

“I want this,” she whispered back, and I smiled. I gently pushed myself inside her, making sure that she kept her eyes on mine, not wanting her to disconnect from me, and she whimpered. I took her hand in mine and intertwined our fingers, raising them over her head.

“You’re fucking beautiful, malyshka.” She blushed as a whimper escaped her lips and I groaned, pulling out of her before thrusting back inside, my thrusts slow and careful as the two of us got lost in the moment. I wasn’t in a rush and I knew that we had four hours to go, therefore, I knew that we had time to enjoy ourselves. “And that is one thing that I never want you to forget. Not today, not tomorrow, and not in a million years. I never want you to forget that you are beautiful and that you are forever going to be mine, do you understand me, baby girl?”
