Chapter#49
Liam’s POV

I shut my eyes tightly as she took the sword from my hands. For a moment, there was only silence between us, but I didn’t dare to open my eyes and meet hers.

Then, in an instant, the sword clanged against the stone floor beside me. The sound was enough to make my heart lurch. “Stand up,” she ordered, “You don’t get to kneel in front of me. Not after what you did.”

My eyes snapped open, and I looked up to meet hers. I wanted to speak, but the words choked in my throat. 

What can I say? That I became someone she was ashamed of? That I broke her heart, and I was sorry for that? She hates me no matter how hard I try to get her back.

“Kaelen, I…” I started, but she cut me off, stepping closer. “Don’t,” she snapped. “Don’t you dare try to justify it, Liam. I’ve listened to enough of your pleas.” Her voice trembled, “Please… just leave me alone. I need time to clear my head.”

I rose to my feet and nodded. “I’ll leave…” I managed to speak again, “But before I go, I want you to know that, I—” I stopped as the confession teetered on the edge of my tongue. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her and what she meant to me. But she needed time to think this through, and I respected that.

I love you. But saying it felt like a betrayal of its own, like a cheap attempt to sway her.

Her lips pressed into a thin line. “Just go away, Liam.”

The words landed like a blow, and I staggered back. I opened my mouth to apologize again, to beg for forgiveness, but something reckless took over. I stepped forward, closing the gap between us, and crashed my lips against hers.

The kiss was desperate and raw, like a collision of need and anger. Her lips were soft, and for a fleeting moment, she kissed me back as her hands fisted in my shirt. It was fire and salvation, and I poured everything into it. 

But then she stiffened, and I pulled back. My heart hammered in my chest, and my mind screamed at me to run away. Guilt flooded me as our eyes met.

“I… I’m sorry,” I whispered, stepping away. My hands raised as if to prove I was no threat. “I shouldn’t have…”

But she didn’t let me finish. Her hands shot out, grabbing my face, and she pulled me back to her. Her lips claimed mine with a fierceness that stole my breath. 

This kiss was different. It was as if she’d decided something, and I was too lost in her to question it. Her fingers dug into my jaw, and I groaned into her mouth. My hands found her waist, pulling her closer.

We stumbled backward as her back hit the stone wall, and the world narrowed to the heat of her body against mine. My hands roamed, desperate to explore every curve, every inch of her. 

She was like fire under my touch. I tugged at the hem of her tunic, and she lifted her arms, letting me pull it over her head. Her breasts were bound tightly with strips of cloth wound firmly across them. I looked at her, and her eyes met mine.

“Undo it,” she breathlessly spoke.

My throat bobbed. “Are you sure?”

She nodded once.

My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for the knot at her back. The cloth resisted, like it had grown used to the lie, but eventually it gave way. Layer after layer fell loose, until the bindings dropped to the ground like a breath she’d been holding for too long.

I was amazed… too amazed to see her shiny breasts she’d been hiding. Her nipples were already hard, screaming at me to pinch them. I gently cupped them in my hands and pressed them as I pressed my body against hers. My beast throbbed inside my tight pants. At this point, it was starting to hurt.

Her hands landed on me, yanking my shirt off. Her nails scraped lightly down my chest. I hissed at the sensation. My head spun as she pressed herself closer, her bare skin against mine. 

“Liam… show me how much you crave me,” she murmured, and all I could do was not to lose myself entirely.

I kissed her neck, tasting the salt of her skin, and she arched against me, her breath hitching. My hands slid down her sides, finding the waistband of her pants. I hesitated, searching her eyes for permission. 

She nodded, and I undid the button, sliding the fabric down her legs. She stepped out of them, kicking them aside, and without realizing, I was on my knees before her. My lips trailed over her stomach down to her hips.

“God, Kaelen!” I breathed. 

She was everything: Fierce, beautiful, untamed… and I was unraveling under her. 

Her fingers tangled in my hair, guiding me, and I kissed her lower as my hands gripped her thighs. She gasped. I parted her with my tongue, licking her pussy slowly, savoring the taste of her waters and the way her body trembled under my touch.

Another gasp escaped her lips as I teased her clit, circling it with deliberate, languid strokes. I could feel her trembling on the edge as her thighs quivered against my hands. I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. My mind was driven by the sounds she made and the way her body responded to every flick of my tongue.

I could feel her need mirroring my own. It wasn’t lust. It was a desperate ache, a wild, consuming hunger that threatened to pull us under.

I pressed closer as my tongue delved deeper, flicking and sucking until her breaths turned to moans. Her fingers tightened in my hair, urging me on.

“Liam,” she gasped. She came undone with a cry, her body shuddering, and I held her through it. My lips held still on her, drawing out every wave of pleasure until she was breathless.

She pulled me up. Her hands were frantic as she undid my pants. Her movements were impatient, so naturally, I helped her, shedding the rest of my clothes, and then we were skin to skin. 

I lifted her, her legs wrapping around my waist, and pressed her against the wall. The stone was cold against my palms. She hesitated. Our eyes met, and I asked, “I won’t do it if you don’t want me to.”

“It’s not that…” her voice trembled, “I’ve… I’ve never…”

“You’re a virgin?” I didn’t let her finish.

I slid my beast on her pussy, letting her waters feel me. It wasn’t inside her, it sild through her lips, rubbing itself on her swollen clit.

Her eyes widened in desperation, and she held me tighter. My eyes didn’t leave hers. I wanted her to see the pleasure I gave and how desperate she was for me to claim her. 

“Liam…” she breathed, “Please… fuck me like you wanted to last night.” 

A different kind of adrenaline rushed through me. It was all I wanted to hear. My wolf was a beast who wanted to rip through her. But I had to keep it slow with her, since it was her first time.

I slowly entered, looking into her eyes. I could see the sweet pain I gave her. I could see how her eyes widened even more the moment my beast claimed her valley. 

“Fuck!” I groaned, “You’re so tight!”

She was so tight, I had to force myself to completely enter her, and when I reached the end, I pulled back, taking myself out. And then I crashed my lips on hers, swallowing her moans as I quickly entered her again. It wasn’t slow this time. Her whole body trembled, and her nails dug into my back. 

I moved even faster, driven by the way her nails dug into my shoulders, the way her breath caught with every thrust. Her head fell back, exposing the line of her throat, and I kissed it, nipping lightly, feeling her pulse race under my lips. 

Her body was a furnace, tight and trembling, and I could feel her tightening even more around me. Her cries started to get louder.

I gripped her hips harder as I thrust deeper. 

“Don’t… stop,” she whispered in my ear, as she hugged me from my neck. Her voice ragged, and I couldn’t have stopped if I wanted to. 

I could feel her trembling on the edge. Her thighs tightened around me, and I angled myself to hit that spot that made her cry out. My own release was building like a tidal wave I couldn’t hold back, but I wanted her there first, wanted to feel her come undone beneath me.

“Kaelen,” I groaned as my lips brushed her ear, and she shattered. Her body convulsed around me as she cried out. The sound, the feel of her, pushed me over the edge, and I followed. My vision blurred as pleasure crashed through me. 

“Arh… Varian,” A final cry escaped her throat.

Varian?

I stopped, pulling myself back. Why would she say his name? But my cream spilled on her thighs before I could stop it. She collapsed on the ground, panting.

I took a step back and grabbed my pants. 

“Liam…” her voice broke, “What… what happened?”

She didn’t even realise what she’d said.

“I… I have to go.” I spoke as I wore my clothes.

She got up to her feet and stood there, just watching me. I didn’t even look at her. What was I thinking? I caught her with Varian many times before… how can I think she’s in love with me?

“What’s wrong?” She grabbed my arm before I could leave.

I stopped and turned my head to face her. “Don’t ever come near me again.”
