CHAPTER 212
CHAPTER 212
\[Axle\]
Wolves were deeply traditional, but in our own sacred sense, not in the human way. Lexi and I were mates, and we had already performed the ancient bonding ceremony.
She was mine, and we were bound together for eternity, but we were not married in the human, legal sense. I had never thought twice about that piece of paper until Lex officially married Mina.
Lexi had never expressed a desire for a human wedding, so I had simply left things as they were. Wolf couples did not typically go on traditional honeymoons either, after the mating ceremony, most pairs would disappear into their private quarters or mating caves, as our ancestors called them, for days or even weeks on end.
"Axle," she called my name softly, her sweet, velvet voice instantly stirring something deep inside my chest.
"Yes?" I responded, pulling her pliable body snugly into my arms.
"Kiss me."
I was momentarily stunned by her direct request. It was rare for Lexi to be quite this forward, but I would be damned if I ever complained about her taking the initiative.
It seemed my mate was really satisfied with this trip, and I felt a pang of sadness at my inadequacy as a mate, but I was determined to observe her better from now on, to spend more time with her, especially outside of the pack.
I immediately claimed her lips, capturing her bottom lip between mine and tasting her expertly. We had shared countless kisses over the months, but it never grew stale. Every single time I kissed Lexi, it felt like the very first time, electric, desperate, and entirely unique.
She let out a soft moan when I pulled her flush against my chest, my hands sliding down to cup her buttocks firmly.
I groaned against her mouth, breaking the kiss to trail my lips down her jawline to her neck. I inhaled deeply, taking in her intoxicating scent that routinely drove my wolf wild, before nibbling lightly along her sensitive skin.
I pressed a reverent kiss directly over my mating mark on the side of her neck, my heart swelling with intense pride that she was mine. Just in case the permanent mark was somehow not enough of a warning to any foolish male, I went to work, leaving a flurry of dark, bruised hickeys along her throat.
I slowly guided us backward across the room until the back of my legs hit the frame of the queen-sized bed. We tumbled together onto the soft mattress, with me shifting smoothly over her.
My hands flew to the hem of her top, quickly stripping away her blouse and skirt. Lexi's hands were just as eager, tugging at my shirt and running her warm palms down the firm line of my back, her nails lightly digging into my skin as she gripped my waist.
I let out a low chuckle at her sudden urgency, matching her wild energy as I reached behind her to unhook her bra. Throwing the lace garment carelessly over the edge of the bed, I brought my hands to her bare chest, fondling her soft breasts and rolling her hardened peaks between my fingers.
"Ahh… Axle… Ohhh…" she moaned, throwing her head back into the pillows as I leaned down, taking one tight crest into my mouth and sucking firmly.
She began to writhe beneath me, grinding her hips up against my thigh as I intensified the suction. My free hand slid down her stomach, dipping lower between her thighs, and I was more than thrilled by the slick heat awaiting me.
"You are so wet for me," I groaned against her skin, leaving a trail of heated kisses down her ribs and abdomen.
I pulled her legs up, hooking them securely over my shoulders as I hooked my fingers into her delicate thong, ripping the thin fabric and tossing it onto the floor.
My eyes darkened, gleaming with fierce possessiveness as I looked down at her bare, exposed center. She was dripping, her core throbbing with a visible rhythm that made my inner wolf howl.
"Tell me what you want, babe," I teased, leaning down to blow a soft, cool breath over her sensitive flesh.
"Ohh… Axle," she whimpered, reaching down to tangle her fingers in my hair, trying to push my head down.
"You have to say the words first," I smirked, catching her hand and lightly sucking her fingers into my mouth.
"Axle, I want you to… I need you to… please, oh please, just kiss me there!" she cried out as I slid two thick fingers directly inside her slick heat.
"Now, that was not so hard, was it?" I teased softly.
I gave her sensitive center a slow, teasing lick, then another, before clamping my mouth over her completely. I buried my tongue deep inside her, drinking in her sweet taste as her breathless cries filled the room. I held her legs firmly on my shoulders, keeping her open and helpless beneath me.
"Ohh… It's right there, Axle! I'm cumming!" she screamed, her entire body arching off the bed as a powerful climax tore through her.
I kept my tongue moving against her, lapping up every drop of her release until the trembling in her thighs finally subsided. She reached down, grabbing my shoulders and pulling me up her body to kiss me deeply. I returned the kiss with intense fervor, tasting herself on my lips.
Unable to hold back for another second, I kicked off my pants and briefs in one fluid motion, positioning myself between her parted legs.
Lexi reached down, her warm fingers attempting to wrap around my throbbing length, but as much as I loved her touch, I knew I would lose control if I was not inside her immediately. Gently catching her wrists, I pinned her hands beside her head.
"I need to be inside you right now," I growled against her lips, driving forward and burying myself completely inside her in one powerful, seamless thrust.
