Tessa's POV
Wrapped in our soft robes, we moved from the hot tub back inside the cabin, the warm glow of the roaring fire immediately drawing us in.
I was overly impressed with how caring and tentative Kane was being, going above and beyond to make this night as special and as comfortable as possible for me.
It just proved ten times over that he was the one…
My one…
My Alpha…
The crackling flames cast flickering shadows across the room, painting everything in a golden spray that felt immediately more intimate.
Kane settled into the plush armchair by the hearth, patting his lap with a quiet invitation. I smiled, moving slowly toward him, the weight of the day finally starting to lift from my shoulders.
Sliding onto his knees, I let myself lean against his broad chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart beneath my ear.
His arms wrapped around me easily, strong and sure, pulling me closer until there was no space left between us.
The heat radiating from his body mixed with the warmth of the fire, surrounding me in a cocoon of safety and desire.
I tilted my head up, searching his eyes — dark and intense, but soft with something only meant for me. The air between us thickened, charged with an electric tension that made my breath catch.
Then, slowly, Kane lowered his lips to mine. The kiss was gentle at first, exploring, tentative— like two pieces of a puzzle finding their perfect fit. My hands found their way to his shoulders, fingers tracing the powerful lines beneath the fabric of his robe.
His hands cupped my face, thumbs stroking my cheeks as the kiss deepened, becoming more urgent, more desperate, yet never losing that tenderness that made me feel cherished.
My body pressed closer against his, every nerve alive, every worry fading into the background.
We pulled back just enough to catch our breath, foreheads resting together, breaths mingling in the quiet cabin. His voice, rough and low, whispered against my lips, "You're everything to me, Tessa."
My heart swelled, and I smiled, fingers threading into his hair. "And you're mine."
The fire crackled behind us, a perfect soundtrack to a night where nothing else mattered but the warmth between us and the promise of what was to come.
The warmth of the fire wrapped around us like a protective blanket, but there was something magnetic pulling us forward, toward the bedroom where the soft glow of candlelight flickered through the doorway.
Kane's hands slid gently from my face down to my waist, fingers pressing into my sides as he lifted me effortlessly from his lap.
His eyes locked onto mine— dark, smoldering, full of desire— and I felt the same heat blooming inside me.
We moved slowly across the cabin, every step heavy with anticipation. The scent of roses floated softly in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of burning wood and subtle traces of his cologne— earthy, warm, and utterly intoxicating.
When we reached the bedroom, I paused for a moment, taking in the sight before me. The king-size bed was a vision of luxury: pure white linens stretched taut and smooth, scattered with delicate rose petals.
Sheer romance.
Kane placed me on my feet, closed the door behind us, before turning back to pull me close once more.
His hands traced the curve of my back, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel the strength in his grip but also the softness, the care he always showed me.
Our lips met again, this time with a hunger that left no room for doubt— no hesitation. The world outside the cabin ceased to exist as our bodies pressed together, moving in sync like a dance we'd been practicing without even knowing.
Slowly, Kane's hands began to explore the curve of my waist, sliding beneath the robe's soft fabric as I shivered at his touch, remembering I was completely bare… we both were…
My breath caught in my throat in a soft gasp as he whispered against my skin, "You're mine tonight, Tessa. Completely. Mine forever.” Before his teeth nipped at my ear, sending a shock of heat to my core.
The words sent a thrill through me, grounding me in the moment yet igniting every part of me with desire. I nodded against his neck, before his lips locked with mine once more.
Together, I felt him untie his own robe before his fingers move to undo mine, as we let the robes slip away, the soft fall of fabric revealing skin to the warmth of the room— and to each other.
Although I was nervous, I hadn’t ever felt more alive…
We pressed against one another, as we continued to kiss and move our way backwards towards the bed, every touch, every kiss, building a quiet intensity between us.
Kane's hands were gentle but sure as he laid me down, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt his breath on my neck, the steady pulse of his heartbeat syncing with mine, and I knew, without a doubt, that this was more than a typical night.
It was the beginning of something sacred — our bond, our future, sealed in trust and love forever without going back.
He leaned in, his lips brushing along my jawline, his breath hot and steady. My pulse quickened, a delicious shiver racing through me as his hands slipped down my stomach, fingers grazing skin that had been aching for his touch all night.
His kiss grew deeper and more demanding than before, tongues slipping and tangling as if trying to memorise every inch of each other’s mouths.
I responded to him eagerly, my hands threading through his hair, pulling him closer as the fire in my chest grew with every second.
It didn’t take long for him to begin teasing me, rubbing slow circles on my sacred area, my breathing coming in quick pants…
The softness of his lips against mine was a contrast to the strength of his hands exploring my curves, before he pushed a finger inside, my walls clenching tightly around it…
“You good?” He grunts, as I nodded quickly, adjusting to the feeling, before he began to pull it in and out…
It didn’t take long before he moved to two, a soft moan leaving my lips followed by a groan of his own from hearing the sound.
“I’ve fucking needed this for so long, Tessa!” He admitted in my ear, his tone hoarse.
“Me too…” I panted out in a whisper, my admission being all he needed to remove his fingers completely - replacing them with his tongue.
The scent of his skin, a heady mix of earth and musk, surrounded me as he lowered his mouth and began licking me over, his tongue working magic as I felt myself grow more wet.
Who knew this would feel so damn good…
I swallowed hard, the warmth pooling low in my belly as my moans grew louder and my hips and legs thrashed beneath Kane’s firm hold.
And I knew that this was only the beginning…
