Chapter 15: RBB. CH 15 - FANTASIES

VALEN’S POV

What on earth was this attitude for?

For a long suspended moment, I was left frozen in my spot, contemplating the best course of action to defrost the fiery darts she was pointing at me.

My wolf wildly circled my head as he understood our predicament. The plight had him acting like he was pmsing. He jumped around and scratched in my head irrepressibly. With Raina, he exclusively displayed this unruly behavior. Naturally, at her discomfort, his initial reaction would always be to caress her. It made being around her hard, but being away from her was even more challenging.

“Calm down, Zeus,” I warned, and blocked him out to obstruct the control he was tackling me to have his way in touching Raina.

“Don’t pretend that you don’t want to hold her,” he yapped. “My forearms are empty and just waiting for her to live in them.”

“I do understand, but you know the dangers. Stop behaving like a drunk nutjob.” I scolded and pushed him into a dark corner since he would not comport himself.

In all my years, I've never seen her this angry. In the past, it was her breathtaking smile that always greeted me. Her vivacious, down-to-earth personality habitually siphoned my eyes to glimpse peeks of her. The chic and snazzy way she put her beautiful, charismatic image together made her stand out. With Vaheed constantly around her, many had assumed that they were together. Therefore, male wolves kept away.

“Raina, I had to go and see Miriam because it was important. I’m sorry that I ran off like that.” I moved closer to the bed to stand at the side where she faced. "Baby, I know you're hurting. I'll find a way for us to be together. I promise."

Her eyes shut tight to hide the sparkle that gleamed in her orbs when I used the endearment and a sad tear ran across her nose.

"It won't work." She croaked, cryptically. When she saw that I didn't know what she was driving at, she further appended, "The stone won't fix the bond. It's a waste of time to try."

Time. That one word has been repeated many times today. Thinking profoundly, time was valuable and it's what Raina and I would have to depend on to get through this. If the stone worked, I could be nearer to her and truly express how dearly she was to me.

Perturbed by her words, I gazed into her lacklustre blue eyes. She closed them as though to shut me out. Anyways, I asked, "Why would you say that?" We haven't even tried for that conclusion to be made. "The moon goddess will help us rectify the bond. Over time, we will be together."

She opened her eyes to stare into mine. Humdrum electric blue met my promising emerald green. A raw need festered. The mate bond tugged the strings of my heart. It was a battlefield. We wanted something that we temporarily could not have. We longed to act upon our unpronounceable feelings.

Her orbs lingered on mine, searching and sucking me into their comeliness. My wolf became more impatient and jumped in my head like a hammer, babbling. He built stress and anxiety within me.

"A few hours ago you weren’t so confident. Leave," She whispered in a way that tore my lungs out. Contempt and anger filled her voice. "I want to be alone."

"Raina, I honestly don't know what's going on with our bond." I'm trying to deescalate her anger. It felt like I kept messing up. I wanted a peaceful understanding between us.

"Humph." Sucking breaths through her clinched teeth, she moderately turned on her other side to face the wall in the opposite direction. “The moon goddess is fucking with us.”

“Language baby,” I chastised in amusement, though I knew to take her seriously.

She growled at me in a manner that depicted ‘fuck you!’

I loved her voice and enjoyed the melodic sound of it. Though she was unwell, I wished she would talk to me more and release what was bugging her. I'd take that heat over a chilling silent treatment.

To confront her, I teleported to the other side of the bed to encounter a glare, followed by eye-rolling. Her behavior pumped more worry into my system. Alternatively, her side position on the bed outlined the sexy highs and lows of her curves. A different line of thoughts crept into my head. Unchaste images catwalked the runway of my mind.

The fire inside of her was such a turn-on that it birthed a notion to slam her against the wall and give her a hard fuck. My cock was on fire. Damn!

"Don't hate me, Raina." I urged, desperately, while lowering myself to look into her deep blue irises. Everything about her was an irresistible temptation. My mind reeled with concocting visions of what her body looked like without clothes. It made being in our shoes excruciating. For one, my cock was erected and her eyes descended to the bulge she had awakened.

She grimaced, giving me a distasteful doze of muteness. She seemed to think that I was greedy for the plate of neglect she dished. Gratefully, I had no appetite for it. Panic choked me.

My jaw stiffened as though it was slapped. Then an idea sparked. I decided to try it. My wolf agreed.

With a mocking grin, I tailored the mind-link solely to hers. I wanted her to be safe and happy with a taste of what it would be like under my bed covers instead of the hospital sheets. Amusement twinkled in my eyes. Let me see if this will cheer her up.

Sharing my fantasy with her, I envisioned myself removing the sheet and laying her flat on her back. Hovering on top, I brushed her burgundy hair back and brought my mouth to her ear. “You’re mine, Bluebella.”

Hijacked by the erotic illusion, Raina gasped. A moist pink tongue wet her dry lips after they parted to accommodate the surprise. "Mmm,” she moaned, suddenly breathing hard and rubbing her thighs together on the bed.

My lips pressed on her earlobe, nipping it. I took a deep breath to calm my wolf down. My heart squeezed from the lust that was ready to ignite from her imaginary touch as her hands wrapped around my neck. I lifted my head so that our eyes locked. Gazing deeply into her naval eyes, she looked down and then looked up through their long lashes flirtatiously.

Fire met fire. My cock stirred in my pants when my eyes drifted to her plump lips. The little temptation ran her tongue in a circular motion, outlining the fullness of her lips. I almost drooled and lowered my head. My tongue gently tickled her lips, playfully teasing her. She kept her lips apart until mine started to devour them. Tilting my head to one side, slowly and sensually, I molded mine on hers.

Soft lips. Softer curves. My fingers sank into her delicate skin. This felt so damn right. Almost real. Just like the many dreams and fantasies I’ve endured while jerking off in the bathroom at home.

Engrossed in the sexual mirage, Raina’s moans ricocheted on the four walls of the hospital room. My tongue explored her mouth, conjuring up a tasty cherry goodness of what she might actually taste like. My cock stiffened like a vertical pole. The fire of my need grew stronger as the kiss converted to a hot storm of need and desire.

“Oh, goddess! Yes!” Liquid heat rushed between her thighs. “Valen!” She climaxed, clenching her thighs and gripping the sheet.

The vow to maintain self-control was so strained that I was ready to snap. The impulse to make this an instant reality prodded my willpower. My wolf was pushing forward. Fuck it! I had to stop this before I ejaculated in my pants and before my wolf tried to hump her on the bed.

Not knowing when I closed my eyes, I snapped them open and violently shook my head to crush the fantasy. Raina’s arousal percolated through the room, making it hard for my racing mind to stabilize.

Rosy tints of embarrassment crept into her cheeks, her eyes windowed with tears and covered her heavy head under the covers.

“Brothers and sisters don’t fuck.” My voice registered huskily. “I hope that cleared things up since your pussy belongs to me.” I heard her gulp. “Now imagine the real thing because I will be enjoying your body in every possible way that I can.”

Gradually, she pulled the covers down. Peeking over to hide the gleam of genuine satisfaction that laminated her face.

“You want me to fuck you so hard, don’t you? To let your legs shake from the wicked ways I’ll make you cum with my cock so deep inside of you that you will miss it when I’m not around ― mhm?” I shoved a vision into her head of my hands sliding inside her soaking wet lace panties.

“You know what I want,” she whispered back, swinging her eyes of ardour over my robust frame.

A corner of my mouth lifted into a wry smirk. She doesn't hesitate to express her desires. Sweet. I liked that. At this moment, it was official that my wolf was a love-struck puppy.

Just then, her parents entered, silently. Lunch bags and flowers occupied their arms. Their presence was like a swift kick to the crotch that instantly and magically ended the pain of my libido.

"Raina, there is no one for me but you." I openly declared and stood. Referring to the fantasy that just ended, “We’ll have all that we need very soon.”

Dismissively, she flipped around and gave her full attention to her watching parents, standing in the corner of the room. Too bad she couldn't shake off her flamed red cheeks and unsullied joy. Her lips trembled from fighting the smile that wanted to settle on them.

Finding the humor in that, I quietly chuckled. "I'll see you tonight, Bluebella."

Changing into my work mood, my face went solemn. I gave Raj and Hailey a nod and exited the room.

A ferocious roar reverberated from my throat when I saw who stood in front of me in the hallway.
