ERICA'S POV:-
"Enough of the playtime. You need to get some sleep. You have work in the morning. And so do I." He whispered in a low tone as he took me towards the bed. I laid down on the bed. He covered me with the comforter. He went towards the other side of the bed. He laid down on the bed, facing the wall. I bit my lower lip looking at him. Yes, he got a little too playful, but he surely didn't cross his line. It madee happy that he respected my choices. I turned on my side, staring at his back. It was starting to get better. And I was glad that I was able to get the clouds cleared. After all, no one liked the cloudy weather.
He suddenly turned around and I turned my face away. But I was caught. As I was facing him. "Sleep now! No one is going to hurt you. I promise." He whispered in a low tone. I smiled and nodded my head. He extended his hand towards me. I intertwined my fingers with his. It was not like cuddling with someone. But it was not lonely anymore. He closed his eyes after that. And I was staring at his face. In a few seconds, his breathing and his heartbeat got steady and calmer. He was already asleep. I remembered the last time I was in that room, on his bed. He surely didn't fall asleep that fast at the time.
Perhaps, the truth literally brings peace to every single being in this universe. I also closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep soon. It felt safe being around him. Maybe because I was habitual of being close to the Alpha. Or maybe it had something to do with the bond we shared. Either way, we had accepted each other. It didn't take me longer. I also slipped into my dreamland.
SAMIA'S POV:-
I opened my eyes in the morning and found Carlos staring at me. A smile appeared on my face looking at him. He was staring at me the way a child looks at a jar full of candies. I just couldn't help but chuckle at him. He was literally a big baby.
"Why are you staring at me as if I am a chocolate fountain? And you can't touch me." I asked him after a little while. He licked his lips as he heard me. Then he leaned over and licked my lips. I gasped loudly as he licked my lips.
"Hmmm!!! Your mouth tastes better than the chocolate fountain. Your mouth tastes better than the strawberries. Your mouth tastes better than mint tea. And your mouth surely tastes better than the jar full of candies." He replied to me in a low tone and with a mischievous grin on his face. My eyes widened in surprise as I heard him. He chuckled as he saw my surprised face. He pinched my cheek lightly and pulled it lightly.
"You look way too cute when you are surprised. But why are you surprised, my lovely? You know we both share the same kind of powers. That means you are not the only one who can read my mind. I can also read your beautiful thoughts from now one. I am improving pretty fast, am I not?" He replied to me in a low but seductive tone that made my heart flutter again. Biting my lower lip, I scooted over towards him. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in his usual bear hug. His warmth always made me feel safe. His warmth made me feel my heaven around me. In fact, he also smelled like heaven. It felt like he had the scent of heaven.
"You are the bestest thing that ever happened to me. I want to be yours forever. And soon. I want to marry you soon. I want to make you mine forever. I can't handle this wall between us anymore." He complained as he buried his face in the crock of my neck. I instantly felt bad for him. It was because of me, we were taking so long to marry. He had been waiting for his mate for two thousand years. And yet I was still making him wait. It was almost every single time whenever he asked me about our marriage, I felt the longing and the loneliness in his voice. It always made me feel bad that I was making him wait more.
I sighed and pulled away from him. I looked into his eyes. A smile appeared on his face. I cupped his face and pecked his forehead lovingly. "I know I am so unfair to you. I am the one taking so long. But I want to kill all my demons first. So I can be yours. So I can belong to you only. Just a little longer, my king. Then I will be yours. I promise, I will not make you wait anymore. Just give me a week." I whispered while staring into his eyes. His smile widened as he heard my words. He raised a brow at me as if questioning me if I was not lying to him. I winked at him then nodded my head.
He growled under his chest as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. For a while, he hugged me so tightly that I couldn't even breathe. He let go after a minute. He flipped us over on the bed and pinned me with the soft metrus. My heart fluttered as I saw a mischievous smirk on his face. He always looked so sexy with that smirk on his face. He leaned towards my neck. I gasped loudly as he started peppering soft kisses all over my neck. I wanted him to let go of my hands. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck. Or scratch his back. I wanted to leave my marks on his back. But he didn't let go.
I shivered as he slowly made his way towards my chest. A whimper escaped my lips like a pleade as his lips touched the skin of my chest. "This is what you get when you make your man wait so much. The day I will marry you, I am not going to let you sleep the whole night. In fact, I will keep you in bed for a week. And you will not be allowed to do anything but let me make love to you. Mark my words, Bunny. I will punish you for making me wait that long for you." He threatened me in a low tone as he kept peppering kisses all over my chest.
I loved every single touch. It was driving me crazy too. But I couldn't break my own rules. "Whatever you say. I will do whatever you will say. Just this one week for me to settle all the debts from the past. So there would be no one on my doorstep from my past to disturb us ever in our lives. You are not the only one going crazy about me. I am also going crazy for you to touch me. I am also waiting impatiently for that day when I will be able to shower with you, my king." As soon as I was done talking, he pulled his head away from my chest and looked into my eyes. He was searching for anything that could tell him if I was joking. But I was dead serious with him.
The confused look on his face vanished and a wide smile appeared on his face. He leaned in and captured my lips in a passionate kiss. I also couldn't help myself. I tilted my head to deepen the kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him as if I was thirsty for days. And he was the only source of water.
