Chapter 63 - Heat

I stretched my sore loins and groaned as the stiffness made all my muscles ache. I rubbed my face and looked around the darkroom, not knowing what time of the day it was since the curtains in the room were closed. In the last few weeks, Blake and I had been sharing his room. I was meant to move all my things into his room, but after the wedding, we wanted a new place; it didn’t make sense to move and then remove again.

I rubbed my face and tried to recall what day it was. My memory was foggy, and my aching body wasn’t helping me think. As I turned to my side, I realized I couldn’t feel any clothing on my body. Every inch of me was touching the soft sheets Blake’s interior designer had purchased for him. I propped myself up on one elbow and looked around. I had a top sheet over my body, and I was alone in the bed, but I could hear the shower going.

Blake must be having a shower. Lucky asshole. I rolled my eyes.

My attempt to sit up was met with another series of aches shooting through my body. This time, the pains came from the southern region of my body. My head filled with memories of all the activities Blake and I had participated in.

It had been four days that we had been locked in the apartment since my sudden urge to nasty fuck Blake in my office. Everything that day happened so fast. My memories of how we got home were hazy, but everything after that I remember pretty well. Blake throwing me over his shoulder and carrying me up to the apartment before laying me on the kitchen counter and fucking me.

We were both so worked up by the time we got to the apartment; the kitchen was as far as we got. I smiled at the thought of him ripping my skirt and shirt like they were old rags played in my head.

After we were done with the kitchen counter, Blake moved us to the couch and then to the dining table. We definitely did not run out of space to try new positions. Blake stayed true to his word and did Google more ways to fuck once he ran out of his ideas.

The most surprising part for me was my heightened sexual desire for Blake. Of course, I loved Blake, and our sex life was amazing. We had some incredible sex, and I usually couldn’t get enough of him; however, the desire I had burning in me at that moment was very different. In the few days we had been locked up, all I could think about was sex. I just wanted to be near Blake with our sweaty bodies intertwined in some different position. My skin felt like it was on fire if Blake wasn’t touching me. My pussy painfully throbbed and ached if I had gone too long between our sexual encounters.

The few times we did stop, Blake used it as an opportunity to feed me or call The Coven or his father to talk about the current situation. He was confident that I had more werewolf blood than expected.

My “Heat”, as he explained it, was enough to send everyone searching for answers.

One of the text messages he received from Klaus indicated they had potentially found a way to lift the suppressant I had. Blake was eager to see them as soon as I was feeling better so we could get to the bottom of my life’s secrets. Although his eagerness to bend me over and fuck me on demand was much greater than us finding out the truth.

Blake was enjoying every bit of my increased libido. He happily took care of me every time I asked for sex. It got to the point where all he wore around the apartment was his boxers so that he didn’t have to peel too many pieces of clothing off. I definitely wasn’t complaining, and if my aching limbs were any evidence, I took full advantage of my Heat, although it wasn’t all about sex. There were times where a spike in my hormones made me want to cry. Blake would cuddle me and comfort me in those times. It made me love and appreciate him even more in those times. He was very attentive and did everything in his power to make me feel better.

In his attempts to make me feel better, Blake had made Rocky into more of a delivery boy rather than a Beta/ bodyguard. Rocky’s job was to drop off food and snacks for us as well as chocolate and other sweets during my emotional breakdowns. However, Taylor was the only one allowed into the apartment. Apparently, my Heat was only extended to unmated male werewolves, and since Rocky and Taylor were still unmated, Rocky wasn’t even allowed into the building. Instead, he would bring all our essentials to the main door, and Taylor would bring it up to the apartment for us.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the shower stopped.

It wasn’t very long before the doorknob jiggled, and Blake emerged from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Water droplets from his wet hair dripped down his face and his neck. I braced for the Heat to rise in my body before I launched myself at Blake, but that never happened. For the first time in days, I didn’t feel the need to have Blake buried deep in me. As much as his appearance was mouth-watering, it was nowhere close to the urges I had been having.

“Good Morning Angel. How are you feeling?” Blake smiled at me as he walked over and perched himself on the edge of the bed. He cupped my face with one hand and gently caressed my cheek with his thumb.

Blake’s smile and affection warmed my heart. How was I so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life?

I leaned my face into his hand and took a deep breath in.

“Much better, actually. I don’t have the urge to jump your bones.” I chuckled.

“Damn it. I was looking forward to some morning sex.” Blake laughed and placed a kiss on my forehead.

“Sorry, you’re out of luck. But the good news is, now we can go see The Coven and find out why all this is happening to me.” I beamed. I was definitely feeling better. Most of all, I was eager to know all the secrets my body was hiding.

“What if the answers we are looking for are more beastly than we expect? What will you do then?” Blake was suddenly very serious.

“Will that change the love you have for me?” I questioned, tangling my fingers into his free hand.

The look on his face was scaring me a little. Would he leave me if I turned out to be someone completely different from his expectation?

“Of course it won’t. Whatever happens, I will always stand by you. Never question my love for you, Angel. Never.” Blake’s grasp on my face tightened.

I smiled up at Blake. “Then I’m not worried about what The Coven has found out. As long as I have you by my side, I will be fine.”

I watched as Blake’s lip quivered a little, and his eyes filled with more admiration than before.

“I love you, my Angel.” Blake pulled my face up to his and captured my lips.

His kiss was soft and gentle. I immediately responded to his touch, moving my lips with his.

Blake’s phone started to vibrate on the side table.

Blake groaned against my lips and slowly pulled away.

“Someone better be dying,” he muttered and picked up his phone.

I giggled and wrapped the top sheet tightly around my body. Blake got busy dealing with his caller, and I headed for the shower. My sticky, sweaty body definitely needed a clean. All my showers in the recent days had turned into a hot steamy fuck session. I was starting to crave those few moments alone in the shower.

As I turned on the shower, I heard Blake finish his conversation.

“Angel,” he called, walking into the bathroom.

He had annoyance written all over his face.

“Shower and get ready quickly. We have to go. The Coven’s found a way to lift your suppressant. Klaus was pleased to hear your Heat was over. He wants to see you immediately” Blake was already wearing a pair of jeans.

I nodded and dropped the sheet, stepping into the shower. The hot water streamed down my body, relaxing my sore muscles.

The Coven’s urgency to see me had me rethinking all the information The Coven had given Blake in the last few days. In the moments where Blake and I were not pulling off each other’s clothes, we had discussions about how Klaus’s investigation was going. In one of the conversations, they mentioned that they had to find the origin of the spell to go any further as there wasn’t any documentation explaining how such a dark magic suppressant was created. Apparently, Elijah and Benji had traveled to different regions in search of answers but returned empty-handed. Their last option was to find the person who had cast the spell in order to know how to lift it. Whether that person was still alive or not was another mystery.

However, since Klaus had called Blake to say they had found a way to lift the suppressant, they must have found the Witch that cast the original spell.

I was nervous. I had so easily said to Blake that The Coven’s findings didn’t bother me, but only I knew what a lie that was. Of course, it bothered me. For 28 years, I had lived a lie. I had lived under the pretense that I was normal, and the worse thing to happen to me was the torture and abuse my mother inflicted. But now, the problems were greater, they were supernatural, and I was scared to know why someone had gone to such extreme lengths to make sure I never found out what role I played in this mystical world.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was blake’s presence in my life that had opened the portal into the supernatural world. If I had gone to help him that first day he moved in, maybe none of this would have happened. But then again, as Klaus explained, my suppressant had outlived its lifespan. If Blake weren’t in my life, I wouldn’t have known what was happening to me. So in some ways, he was unknowingly saving my life.

I couldn’t imagine a life without Blake. He had become a big part of my life in such a short time, and I still had some to look forward to. Dying wasn’t an option.

I quickly finished my shower and walked down to my room to grab some clothes. Blake was on the balcony talking to someone when I left his room.

Since I didn’t know where we were going, I kept my outfit casual. After satisfying my appearance, I made my way back to the kitchen and made myself some coffee. It was the first time I had seen the time. It was 10:30 am. The past four days were just so intense and libido-fueled; it felt nice to be standing in the kitchen sipping on coffee instead of sucking on dick.

I was halfway through my coffee when Blake came down the stairs.

“Are you feeling better now, Angel? Refreshed ?” Blake asked, smiling at me.

His smile wasn’t reaching his eyes. Instead, I could see the stress on his face. *Was there something I didn’t know?!*

“Yeah. A nice hot shower was what I needed. You want some coffee?” I asked, trying to keep the conversation casual.

“No thanks, Angel. I can get something on the way. We have to get going. Klaus and The Coven are waiting for us.” Blake picked up his keys and grabbed a jacket from the coat closet next to the main door. He had pulled my jacket out for me too.

I got rid of my cup and took my jacket from Blake.

“Is everything okay? You seem a little bit on edge than normal,” I questioned, pulling my jacket on.

Blake sighed. “Come on. Let’s go” he ignored my question and opened the door.

As we got out into the hallway, I found Rocky leaning against Taylor’s apartment door.

“Is it safe to approach you?” Rocky looked like he was ready to bolt.

I laughed. “I’m okay now. How have you been? It feels like forever that I last saw you” I walked over and hugged Rocky.

He squeezed me and gave me a big smile.

“Well, since my employers were “busy,” I had to keep myself “busy” too. So let’s just say, Taylor and I were having fun too” Rocky laughed and winked at me.

“In that case, I’m glad you were having fun. Where is Taylor?” I asked, looking towards the apartment door.

“Umm, she’s in Greenwoods,” Rocky muttered, glancing at Blake nervously. “She’s trying to get Vince to tell her what he knows about Beth and Richard’s death.” Rocky cleared his throat.

Blake did say he would get them to talk to Vince.

I just nodded and fiddled with my jacket sleeve.

Blake had pressed the lift button, and soon enough, the door opened. The boys waited for me to get in before they followed.

“Where are we going?” Rocky asked Blake. Blake was oddly quiet, and it made me even more nervous.

What was going on?!

“Mt Zion. Klaus and The Coven are waiting for us there. They found the Witch that cast the original spell on Rosy.” Blake explained.

“Mt Zion?! Isn’t that on the border of Huntly and Trimdon?” Rocky looked confused.

Blake just nodded his head and looked down.

The lift dinged again, and we were in the underground carpark. Blake’s Jeep was standing where his Audi usually stood. We must be going off-road again.

Without thinking, I headed for the backseat.

“Angel, where are you going?” Blake called out as he opened the front passenger door.

“Umm, to the back seat? Won’t Rocky be riding shotgun?” I looked around for Rocky.

Rocky chuckled. “Sorry, madam, but you have eternal dibs on shotgun in any car Blake drives.”

“Come on, Angel, get in. You sit by my side, always,” Blake’s voice echoed through the carpark.

I smiled at him and got into the front seat.

The boys got in, and soon we were on the highway driving towards Huntly.

“This Witch, I’m guessing she’s old?” Rocky broke the silence that had fallen in the car.

“Yeah, she is. From what Klaus mentioned, she’s a former member of The Coven. Mia is her granddaughter.” Blake murmured.

“She was that hot brunette one that was at the clinic that day with The Coven?” Rocky leaned forward.

Blake nodded and swallowed loudly.

“Since when are you into brunettes?” I snickered. Taylor was blonde.

“Hey, before the revelation of our relationship, I was into you. Although, from what I have heard, Mia has an even hotter blonde sister. Will she be there?!” Rocky wagged his eyebrows.

“Shut up, Rockz. You’ve already got a healthy relationship, don’t ruin it for someone like Cynthia. It’s not worth it,” Blake snapped.

“Cynthia?” I quizzed. Rocky hadn’t mentioned the name of Mia’s sister.

“You know Mia’s sister?” Rocky smirked. You could hear the suggestive tone in his voice.

Blake tightened his hands around the steering wheel until they went white.

A low growl escaped Blake’s lips, and Rocky suddenly went quiet. He leaned back into his seat and started scrolling through his phone. Did Blake use his telepathic thing to shut Rocky up?

I was definitely missing something here.
