Chapter 4

Knock, knock.

“Come in,” Bastian said.

“You wanted to see me?” I said as I peeked my head in after opening the door.

“Yes, Luria. Please, come in.”

Why did he insist on calling me by my full name?

“You know you can call me Ria, Alpha,” I said as I entered his office and sat in one of the chairs that were in front of his desk.

“Luria just rolls off the tongue better.”

“But I prefer Ria.”

“I didn’t ask you here to banter with you about your name.”

Freya took a deep whiff, taking in the Alpha’s scent.

Freya: Oh! He smells so yummy.

Me: Shh.

I tried to look normal, even though Freya was talking about how much she wanted to do dirty things to him and his wolf again.

He took a deep breath before starting.

“I wanted to thank you again for the heads up regarding the rogues and for helping with finding Addison.”

Freya: Please, put me back on your desk and continue what you were doing last night to me!

Me: Shut up!

“I’m glad that I could help out and was able to get to her before the rogue did. Has he started to talk yet?”

“No, nothing yet, but he will.”

“Okay, well, good. Was there anything else?” I asked, feeling a little uncomfortable as Freya continued to relive last night’s events that happened in his office. I could tell I was getting wet and really hoping he would not bring it up.

“Yes, there is.”

Crap. I crossed my legs, hoping to clamp the wetness that was continuing to form between my legs.

“I am giving you temporary clearance to the pack, which would then give you access to the pack-link. It will be easier to get a hold of us if something like this happens again.

“Thank you. I appreciate it,” I said as I looked down at my hands, not understanding why I was being so shy at the moment.

“Question?”

I smiled before answering, “Yes.”

“Do you typically get premonitions during sexual moments?” he asked as I watched him push his pen back and forth into the cap.

Trying to suppress the giggle that was in my chest, I answered, “Not always, um… I have not really figured out how they come to me, but sometimes it has happened during a sexual encounter.”

“Hmm…interesting. Okay. Also, I would like to apologize for my behavior last night while we were in here.”

I made sure to give the Alpha my absolute attention, looking him straight in the eye when I said, “It’s fine, Alpha. I know that these last two days have been kind of unconventional. But, um, I don’t mind the roughness in the bedroom.” I looked down for a moment, trying to hide the excitement in my eyes when talking about last night.

“So, I didn’t scare you off yet?” he said as he leaned a little to get my attention.

I laughed, looked up at him, and said with confidence, “It’s going to have to take a little more than that to scare me, Alpha.” I slowly got up and made my way to the door. Before leaving, I turned and said, “I would, however, like this to occur in my cabin from now on, rather than your office.”

“Hmph…we will see.”

I smiled and made my way out of his office.

Freya: Damn, that man is delicious! Do you think he will come to us tonight?

Me: We will just have to wait and see.

I made my way out of the packhouse and walked towards my cabin. Passing the back part of the packhouse, I heard weight on a branch and then a leap to the ground. I turned to see Bastian walking towards me.

“Well, now I know how you got out of my office last night.”

I nodded my head in agreement with a smile on my face.

He swept me off of my feet, throwing me over his shoulder, and continued on the path to my cabin.

Freya: Yes! Alpha, please, do dirty things to me.

Me: Oh, boy!

He walked up the path and entered my cabin with me still on his shoulder.

“Um… before we go any further, Alpha, I think we should establish some guidelines for us.”

“Okay,” he said, making his way to the couch and sitting down.

I moved to the chair and sat there.

“So, what are you willing to do and not do?” he asked as he stretched both arms across the back of the couch, keeping his legs spread apart.

Freya: Ria, hurry up. I need him, and I need him now.

Me: Patience.

“I am pretty open to a lot of things; the one thing I try to refrain from is kissing.”

“Why no kissing?” he asked with a seductive tone.

“Um… kissing is more personal, so I just prefer that we don’t kiss.”

“Okay, so you are open to almost anything as long as I don’t try to kiss you?”

“Yes,” I said as I nodded my head.

“Okay then.” He got up from the couch, walked over to the chair, and dragged me up to my feet, pulling me in the direction of the bedroom.

Freya: Yes! Finally! Come on, Alpha. Show me what you got.

Bastian closed the door behind us and moved us over to the bed. He quickly stripped me of my clothes and pushed me onto the bed, spreading my legs apart for him to take a good look at me. He pulled his shirt off over his head. Damn, he had like an eight-pack on his torso.

I could tell Freya was panting.

He pulled the rest of his clothes off and was standing naked in front of me. He dropped down to his knees in front of the bed and dragged me closer to him as he inhaled a giant whiff between my legs.

“You know your smell was driving me insane while you were in my office earlier,” he said as he started to stretch my lips apart, just staring at my opening as I grew wetter with desire.

He started running his fingers up and down, teasing me. Tugging on my clit, I let out a moan. He dipped down, licked my opening from the bottom to the clit, and started to suck on my clit. He pushed his fingers inside me. I started to move my hips in the same motion with his fingers, feeling my release coming close. He started to thrust his fingers in and out faster as he sucked and licked my clit in repetition.

“You going to let me finish this time?” I asked as I felt myself getting closer.

He started to chuckle and then began to hum on my clit, bringing me over the edge and finding my release.

“Happy?” he said with a smirk on his face.

“Mm… maybe.”

He moved up and thrust his long thick member into me, causing a moan to erupt from my lips.

“Maybe, huh?”

I gave him a devilish grin.

After thrusting in me a few times, he pulled out and flipped me over, bringing me onto my knees with my head pressed down to the bed. With my legs spread apart, he inserted himself again into me, allowing me to take him deep inside me. He let out a growl.

Freya: That’s right, Alpha. Use me.

His thrusts grew faster as he continued to push himself deeper and deeper inside me.

A moan escaped my mouth as I felt myself getting closer to my release.

Bastian grabbed my hair, forcing my head up. “You like that, don’t you?”

I nodded my head. He pulled on my hair harder.

“I want to hear you say it.”

“Yes.”

“Yes, what?”

“Yes, I like you being inside me.”

“You like that dick.”

“Yes.”

“You enjoy me thrusting my dick into you.”

“Yes.”

“You want to cum on that dick, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

“I want that too, Luria. I want to feel you cum on my dick.”

He continued to pound his dick into me, hips slapping against my ass. I could feel my orgasm almost reaching the surface.

“Tell me, Luria. Tell me you are going to cum.”

“I’m going… it’s close.”

He let out a growl as he was getting closer to his climax. “Come on, Luria. I’m close too.”

It was then that I felt my release. “I’m cumming. I’m cumming.”

He pounded harder and faster, releasing a loud growl from his chest, and then stilled as he filled me with his release.

We both collapsed onto the bed, panting and trying to catch our breath.

Bastian pulled me into his chest from behind, bringing his head into my neck. He left a small kiss on my shoulder.

When he realized what he had done, he quickly released me and rolled out of the bed. He walked into my bathroom and closed the door behind him.

I laid there for a moment before getting up and wrapping my robe around myself.

Freya: Damn, that was amazing.

I smiled to myself.

Me: Yes, he definitely knows how to please a woman.

Freya: Am I horrible to say that I hope he stays stubborn and takes forever to heal his heart so that we can continue having amazing sex with him.

Shaking my head at her antics, I heard the shower go on and decided to head to the kitchen to get myself something to drink.

I leaned against the counter and started to stretch my muscles. That was some good sex.

Freya: I told you.

Ria: Stop.

I heard the shower turn off, and a few minutes later, I saw Bastian walk out from the bathroom.

“I got to head back over to the office now,” he said without giving me much eye contact.

“Okay, will I see you later?” I asked as I tried to lean to catch his eyes.

He looked at me with uneasiness and said, “Yeah, maybe. We’ll see.”

And before I could say anything more, he walked out the door.

I took a deep breath and made my way into the bathroom to take a shower myself. As good as he smelled, I did not want anyone else to think that he was claiming me.

Freya: He seemed upset.

I started the shower, checking the water temperature before stepping in.

Me: Yep.

I let the hot water run all over me as I grabbed my loofah and body wash.

Freya: Do you think he will come back tonight?

Me: We need to give him space. He did good today, Freya. But he needs to take the next step. It’s all a part of the healing process.

Freya whined a little but knew I was right. He needed to take the next step.

Bastian’s POV:

After leaving Luria’s, I headed back to the packhouse.

Rufus: That was a nice release.

Me: Glad you enjoyed it.

Rufus: You didn’t?

Me: No. Yes. I don’t know.

Rufus: We need to heal.

Me: I know. But why does it have to be like this?

Rufus: You don’t enjoy a beautiful naked woman under you?

I smirked. Walking through the packhouse, I run into Jasper.

“Alpha, I was just about to do a perimeter check on the borders. Did you want to come along?” Jasper asked.

“No, I have some paperwork to deal with back in my office.”

“I thought you were in your office?”

“I went out for a little bit.”

Jasper gave me a curious look for a moment but did not press the issue. “I will check in via pack link if there is anything to report.”

“Thank you.” I turned and continued making my way back to my office.

Rufus: You never answered me.

Me: I have work that needs to be done. But to answer your question: of course, I enjoy a beautiful naked woman underneath me. She’s not ours to enjoy, though.

Rufus: I see. You think we are betraying our mate by sleeping with this other woman.

Me: Possibly.

Rufus: I have been mourning our mate for the last six months, just like you have. An Alpha needs a mate to help them run the pack. They are the yin to our yang. Where we are weak, they are strong, and vice versa. With our heart closed off, I can’t feel if we have another mate out there.

Me: I know. I guess I just don’t want us to get hurt again.

Rufus: You realize you sound just like Luria.

Me: Shut up.

He laughed.

I continued to work on my paperwork until late at night, hesitant to stop because then I would have to decide whether or not to go to Luria’s again.

Rufus: She knows how to help us.

I rubbed my hands against my face and gave in.

Me: Fine!

I connect to the pack-link.

Me: Luria?

Ria: Yes, Alpha?

I took a deep breath before continuing.

Me: Just wanted to test the pack-link. Did I wake you?

Ria: No, I was still awake. Was there anything else?

Me: Yes…would it be alright if I came over?

Ria: Of course, Alpha. My door is unlocked for you.

Me: I’ll see you soon.

Ria: Okay.

A part of me that was mostly Rufus was wanting this, but another part of me was worried. I didn’t know if I was ready for another mate, but at least for right now, it was nice to have a warm body lying next to me. I just had to remember to keep it professional and not make it personal.

I made my way to Luria’s cabin and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

I opened the door and stepped into her cabin. It was dimly lit with the fire going.

“Luria?” I called out.

“I will be right out. Have a seat and make yourself comfortable.”

I walked over to the couch and sat down.

She walked out of her bedroom wearing nothing but a silk robe. Already, I could feel my member growing in my pants.

She walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, grabbed something, and closed it. When she walked over, she handed me a beer.

“Here, you look like you need this.”

“Thanks.” I took the beer and opened it, taking a big gulp from it, feeling the cool liquid go down my throat.

“How was the rest of your day?” she asked.

“Long. Lots of paperwork.”

“You seem quite tense; would you like a massage?”

Rufus: Yes, please!

“You wouldn’t mind?”

“Alpha, I am a healer in more ways than one,” she said with a coy smile. “Come with me.” She got up and moved into the bedroom.

I took a deep breath and followed.

Her room had candles lit with some soft music playing.

“Take your clothes off,” she almost commanded.

“Excuse me?”

“I need you to take off your clothes so that I can give you a proper massage.”

***

Ria’s POV:

He looked at me skeptically but did what I said.

“Lay down on your stomach. I will work on your back and legs first.”

Bastian lay on the bed, cradling his arms under his head. I grabbed the oil, poured some into my hand, and then applied it to his lower back, working my way up.

Bastian moaned.

“Just relax. Your body needs this more than you realize.”

“I might agree with you on that.”

I continued massaging up and down the back part of his body, giving extra attention to certain parts.

“Luria, that’s my ass.”

“Yes, it is, and you would be amazed at how stressed it gets. Especially when you sit on it for long periods of time.”

He growled, letting me know he was not happy.

“Fine, roll over.”

“What?”

“You heard me. Roll over so that I can massage the front.”

He mumbled incoherently but started to roll over.

“Raise your arms up.”

He lifted his arms above his head, and before he knew it, I attached handcuffs to him, pinning him to my headboard.

“Luria! What is this?” he yelled in almost his Alpha tone.

“Relax, Alpha. I promise that you will enjoy this,” I said as I also cuffed his ankles as well.

“Let me out of these, Luria. Now!”

My eyes roamed up and down his body, taking him all in. Even though he was angry right now, his member was exceptionally long and hard.

I walked over and straddled him, rubbing my wetness up and down his shaft.

His harsh breathing started to slow.

“Luria, is this really necessary?”

“Yes!”

“Why?”

“Alpha…”

“Oh, knock it off and call me Bastian.”

“Bastian, you are in control all the time and never have a moment to release all control. I want to give that to you, even if it’s just this once, and you tell me it’s a hard pass next time. Do you think you can do that?”

He continued to breathe, trying to calm his anger, but I could tell he was contemplating this.

“Alright, let’s see what you can do.”

I gave a sly smile as I started to undo my robe and show I was wearing nothing underneath it.

He sucked in a breath as I continued to rub myself against his shaft. I grabbed a silk scarf lying on the bed, and I wrapped it around his eyes, taking one of his senses away from me.

At first, he was a little tense but soon began to relax as I started to play with his nipples. I raised myself up and then lowered myself on his member.

Bastian moaned.

Freya: He feels so good.

Me: Quiet! I need to focus.

I slowly rocked myself back and forth, up and down, making him moan and growl.

“Bastian, let go. Just enjoy how all this feels. Let me make you feel good.”

I started to feel him relax more and more.

“Good.”

I continued to move slowly, not wanting to make this a quick release. I wanted him to take a little while before needing to release his climax.

“Oh, Luria.”

“That’s it, Bastian.”

“Luria, I need you to move faster. It’s coming up.”

“Bastian, shh… I know. Let me have control. Don’t make me stop this.”

“No, no. Please, don’t stop,” he almost begged.

I continued my pace, even feeling myself getting close. I could feel Bastian start to tense up.

“Bastian, how close are you?”

“It’s at the tip. Please, Luria, faster. I need to cum.”

I leaned over him, pressing my hands against his arms. I continued to slide myself up and down his shaft.

“Bastian, you will cum. But, only when I want you to. Now, I’m getting close.”

He tried to thrust his hips to help the motion, and I pressed down on his arms more, almost lifting myself up from his shaft.

“Don’t! I will give you your release.”

“Okay.”

He licked his lips. Those damn lips. I knew he was going to punish me for doing all this to him, but he needed to learn how to depend on someone else.

I started to moan as I could feel my own release coming.

“Bastian, I’m close.”

“Luria, I can’t hold it.”

I started to move faster against Bastian, feeling my release coat his shaft.

Bastian let out a loud growl as he stilled and released inside me.

I leaned back as we both came down from our orgasmic high. I undid the cuffs at his ankles, and then I collapsed on top of him, slowly undoing the cuffs at his wrists.

He pulled the scarf down from his eyes, and before I knew it, I was flipped onto my back, and my wrists were being put into the cuffs.

He leaned over and did the same to my feet.

“I think you need to be taught a lesson, Luria.”

“What’s the lesson?”

“I’m always the one in control.”

He got up from the bed, grabbed his clothes, and walked out the door, closing it behind him.

Crap.

Freya: Well, it seemed like it was a good plan.

Me: No, in some ways, I think it was good.

Freya: At least this is not our first rodeo being tied up like this.

I let out a deep sigh before answering.

Me: No, you are not wrong.

My ex-mate would leave me like this all night after getting what he wanted and didn’t want me to get in the way of any of his plans.

The bedroom door swung open, and Bastian walked back in with his pants back on but no shirt.

Freya: Why is he torturing me?

Me: Because he thinks he can.

Bastian sat down on the bed next to me, not making any eye contact. He turned and finally leaned over and undid the cuffs at my hands and then my feet.

He leaned back over me, pinning me to the bed. “For right now, it’s a hard pass.”

“Okay,” I said, still pinned to the bed.

He stayed in that position for a moment, just staring at me, like he was taking me all in.

“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked.

He sighed and released me.

“Nothing. I’m going to head out. I have training in the morning with my warriors.”

“Can I join?”

“No.”

“Bastian, come on. I need to get some training in. I promise I will take it easy on your guys,” I said with an amused grin on my face.

He shook his head.

“Fine. Meet me out in the fields at 5 AM, or is that too early for you?”

“I’ll be there.”

I rolled out of bed to head over to the bathroom, and he smacked my ass as I passed him by. I let a yip out and covered my ass from any more hits.

“Get some rest. You are going to need it,” he said as he made his way out of the room, and I heard the front door shut after that.

Freya: Damn, he gets me riled up. I’m still horny.

I laughed.

Me: When are you not?

Freya: Hey!

I started the shower and stepped into the hot water. Closing my eyes, I relived what I had just done to Bastian as I slid my hand down between my legs. Freya was right. That man was beginning to learn how to get me riled up. I started to feel myself getting closer to my release when…

Bastian: Luria?

What the hell?

Me: Yes, Bastian.

I answered the pack-link, hoping he could not hear the heavy breathing in my thoughts.

Bastian: Good night.

I took a deep frustrated breath before answering.

Me: Good night, Alpha.

Freya: That was messed up.

Me: Yes, it sure was. But that’s fine. I’ll just use this frustration tomorrow during training.

Freya: Ha, poor guy who is paired with you.

I finished washing up and stepped out of the shower. After drying off, I headed straight into the bed. A night in bed naked might help cool my frustration a bit.
