CHAPTER 159
Lexa's POV
Kyle couldn't help himself as he made love to me with a desperation that took my breath away. His hands were everywhere at once—tangling in my hair, tracing the curves of my body, memorizing every inch of skin he could reach. He kissed me like he was drowning and I was his only source of air, his lips moving from my mouth to my neck to my collarbone with a hunger that made my entire body tremble.
"You're so beautiful," he whispered against my throat, his voice rough with emotion. "I can't believe you're real, that you're mine."
He touched me with reverence, as if I were something precious and fragile, even as his need drove him to claim me completely. His large hands cupped my breasts, thumbs brushing over my nipples until I arched against him with a gasp of pleasure.
"Kyle," I moaned, his name falling from my lips like a prayer.
He grabbed my ass, lifting me higher against the wall, positioning me exactly where he needed me. The new angle made me cry out as he pressed deeper, filling me completely. Every thrust sent waves of sensation through my body that I had never experienced before.
"Please," he begged against my ear, his voice breaking with desperation. "Please let me come inside you. I need to fill you up, need to make you completely mine."
All I could do was moan in response, my voice lost to the overwhelming pleasure coursing through my veins. My hands clutched at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as I held on for dear life.
"Yes," I finally managed to gasp. "Yes, Kyle, please. I want all of you."
He moved with increasing urgency, his breathing ragged as he chased his release. When he finally came, it was with a roar that I was certain echoed through the entire servants' quarters. I felt his teeth sink into my neck as he marked me, the sensation sending me over the edge into my own climax.
We stayed pressed together against the wall for long minutes afterward, both of us breathing heavily as we came down from the incredible high. Kyle's forehead rested against mine, his eyes closed as if he was trying to memorize this moment.
"Mine," he whispered, his voice filled with possessive satisfaction.
"Yours," I agreed, knowing that everything in my life had just changed forever.
Eventually, he carried me to my small bed, laying me down gently before climbing in beside me. We made love again, slower this time, with tender kisses and whispered endearments that made my heart swell with emotions I had never dared to feel before.
The next morning, I tried to get up as early as possible to sneak out of bed and return to my duties. But Kyle's big arm was wrapped securely around my waist, holding me in place against his warm chest.
"I have to get up," I murmured, almost in a whisper, not wanting to wake him fully but knowing I had responsibilities to attend to.
In the soft morning light filtering through my small window, I took the opportunity to admire his features every damn thing about him that I had been secretly watching for months. His strong jaw, the way his dark hair fell across his forehead, the peaceful expression on his face that was so different from the intensity he usually carried as Pack Commander.
I couldn't believe he had come here on his own last night, without any invitation or encouragement from me. He had come desperately to the maid's chambers, driven by instincts he probably didn't fully understand. The thought of it made me giggle softly.
Kyle hummed in his sleep, his arm tightening around me. "Stay a little longer," he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep. "I'll send special maids to take care of Zenevieva today. You don't need to worry about your duties."
I stayed there for a while longer, just admiring him and trying to process everything that had happened between us. This man this powerful, respected leader was my mate. The Moon Goddess had blessed me beyond anything I had ever imagined possible.
Later in the day, after Kyle had reluctantly let me go, I went to find Zenevieva to apologize sincerely for not showing up to serve her breakfast as I usually did.
"I'm so sorry," I said, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I know you were expecting me this morning, and I failed in my duties. It won't happen again."
Zenevieva just blushed and smiled knowingly. "It's perfectly okay, Lexa. I understand completely why you weren't available this morning."
I stared at her in confusion. "You do?"
She gestured gently toward my neck. "The mark is very visible, dear. It's beautiful, actually. Kyle must be over the moon."
I groaned and covered my neck with my hand, mortified that everyone would be able to see the claiming bite Kyle had left on me. "It's not fair that he told you about us already."
"He didn't need to tell me anything," Zenevieva laughed. "The mark speaks for itself. Besides, I've seen the way you two look at each other when you think no one is watching. I'm happy for both of you."
We both laughed then, the tension breaking as we began joking about irrelevant things how Kyle would probably be impossible to deal with now that he had found his mate, how the other pack members would react to the news, how I would need to learn proper etiquette for being mated to someone of his rank.
"You know," Zenevieva said with a mischievous smile, "I always thought you two would make a perfect pair. You balance each other out beautifully."
"Really?" I asked, surprised by her observation.
"Oh yes. He needs someone gentle and caring to soften his rough edges, and you need someone strong and protective to help you see your own worth."
I was about to respond when the door to Zenevieva's chambers opened without warning, and Alpha Tyson walked in. His presence immediately changed the atmosphere in the room, his commanding aura filling the space as his eyes took in the scene before him.
His gaze lingered on the mark on my neck, and I saw something flicker in his expression surprise, perhaps, or maybe calculation. As the Alpha, he would need to be informed of any major changes in pack dynamics, especially when they involved his Pack Commander.
"Ladies," he said formally, his voice carrying the authority that made everyone in the pack instinctively straighten their posture. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."
The easy laughter that had filled the room moments before evaporated, replaced by the tension that always accompanied the Alpha's unexpected visit. “I need to accompany Kyle to his Pack,something urgent came up.” He announced urgently making my heart twist with worry.
