Chapter 174
Erin's POV

I obeyed, kneeling in the tub with my back to him. His hands guided me backward until I felt his hardness pressing against my entrance. The water's buoyancy made the position easier. He gripped my hip with one hand, the other caressing my spine, then slowly but firmly entered me.

I let out a satisfied sigh, feeling him fill me completely. He began moving slowly, each thrust deep and powerful. The water rippled with our movements, creating additional stimulation.

"You feel so good," he whispered in my ear, one arm reaching around to cup my breast. "I thought about this countless times... every day you were gone..."

His movements gradually quickened, water splashing around us. My hands braced against the tub's edge, struggling to maintain balance. Pleasure built inside me, growing more intense until I could barely stand it.

"Alex... it's... it's too much..." I panted, unable to form complete sentences, yet my body eagerly responded to each of his thrusts.

"You can take it," he pressed against my back, teeth grazing my shoulder, "I know you can, my darling."

His hand slid to my front, finding my most sensitive spot and beginning to rub. The dual stimulation left me unable to think, only capable of producing a series of broken moans and gasps.

"Look how wet you are for me," he praised, "your body craves me, just as I crave you."

I felt pleasure building inside me, growing stronger until it became unbearable. "Alex!" I cried out, my body tensing as an intense orgasm swept through me.

Alexander didn't stop. He waited for my climax to slightly subside, then turned me to face him. His eyes flashed golden, fangs slightly elongated, revealing his wolf side.

"I want to see your face," he said, his voice rough with desire, "when I make you come again."

He lifted one of my legs over his shoulder, the angle allowing him deeper access. I gasped, feeling the new depth and intensity. His movements became more forceful, each thrust making me feel completely possessed by him.

"You're mine," he repeated over and over, "my mate, my everything."

His words and actions ignited the flame within me, and I felt a second climax approaching. "Alex, I'm going to..."

"Together," he commanded, his movements becoming more urgent, "come with me."

As the orgasm swept through my entire body, I felt him release deep inside me, his teeth gently biting into my shoulder, leaving a deep love mark. Our breathing intertwined, our bodies closely connected, sweat making our skin stick together.

Alexander slowly withdrew from me, gently kissing away tears on my face—I hadn't even realized I was crying. His eyes had returned to their normal blue, but his gaze still held a trace of wild satisfaction.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, kissing my forehead, "I lost control a bit. Did I hurt you?"

I smiled and shook my head, my fingers caressing his cheek. "Not at all. That was... incredible."

He held me tightly, our heartbeats gradually steadying. His fingers gently traced my spine, giving me a long-missed sense of security.

"I have a surprise for you," after a while, I said, extracting myself from his warm embrace.

He raised an eyebrow curiously. "What kind of surprise?"

"Close your eyes," I commanded, sliding off the bed. "No peeking!"

Alexander obediently closed his eyes, his lips curved in an expectant smile. I tiptoed to the closet, retrieving the garment bag I'd hidden earlier. Carefully unzipping it, I took out the pure white mermaid wedding dress and unfolded it.

I quickly slipped into the dress, arranging the fabric. The satin clung to my body, accentuating every curve before elegantly flaring out at the knees. The delicate lace overlay sparkled in the light, and the heart-shaped neckline perfectly showcased my collarbones and just a hint of cleavage.

I picked up the small card that had arrived with the dress, then stood before the bed. "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Alexander opened his eyes, and his reaction when he saw me made my heart race. He sat up abruptly, pupils dilating, mouth slightly agape, momentarily speechless.

"Erin..." he finally uttered my name, his voice slightly trembling. He slowly stood up, the sheet loosely wrapped around his waist. "You look... God..."

He took a few steps forward, his hands slightly raised then lowered, as if afraid to touch me.

"You in this dress..." he shook his head, his eyes sparkling with admiration and love, "I can't find the words. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

I felt my cheeks flush. "You really like it?"

"Like it?" he chuckled, finally carefully reaching out to touch the lace edge of the dress. "Erin, I LOVE it. I love how you look in it." His fingers gently caressed my cheek, "You look like you've stepped out of a dream."

"Jason sent it," I explained, handing him the small card. "He hopes I'll wear it at our mating ceremony."

Alexander took the card, quickly scanning it, his expression softening. "Does this mean he accepts us?"

"Yes," I nodded, feeling a wave of happiness wash over me. "He says he only wants to see me happy, and you make me happy."

Alexander looked at me again, his eyes gleaming eagerly. He slowly approached, cupping my face in his hands, his thumbs gently stroking my lips.

"I'll spend the rest of my life making you happy, Erin," he promised softly, his gaze firm and sincere. "Seeing you in this wedding dress... makes me impatient for you to become my mate, for everyone to know we belong to each other."

"Really?" I asked quietly, warmth flooding through me. "The great Black Stone Alpha wants a traditional wedding?"

"Not just that," he smiled, carefully pulling me into his arms, afraid of wrinkling the dress. "I want everything—the wedding, the honeymoon, and maybe someday... a family."

I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling my eyes moisten. "I never dared hope I could have all this. As an Omega, I thought my life would always be just struggle and loneliness."

"Never again," he said firmly, his forehead against mine. "Meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life, Erin. I swear, I'll spend the rest of my life proving that."

I looked up, meeting his lips, and in this perfect moment, wearing my dream wedding dress, embraced by my future mate, I knew I had finally found where I belonged.
