Diana’s POV

The clock stroke 12:30 pm

It was past midnight and I couldn’t sleep

I kept thinking about what happened in class today. About the way Calum had destroyed that phone. The way he had protected me without hesitation

No one had ever done that for me before…well, my mother had, but not with that intensity 

I tossed and turned in my bed but sleep wouldn’t come no matter how much I tried

My body felt restless….. Hot…. to have precised, like something was crawling under my skin

Karina was restless too. She kept pushing me to go find him, to go to our mate…tsk! She’s really good at whoring around huh?

I tried to ignore her but the pull was getting stronger

Finally, I gave up

I got out of bed and put on my robe over my thin nightgown. Maybe if I went to get some water, it would help me calm down

I opened my door quietly and stepped into the dark hallway. The mansion was silent, obviously, everyone else was asleep

I made my way downstairs to the kitchen and I poured myself a glass of water and drank it slowly. But it didn’t help. I still felt hot, I still felt that restless need

I knew what I needed. Or rather, who I needed

Before I could talk myself out of it, I was walking up the stairs. Past the second floor and up to the third floor where his room was

I stood outside his door for a long moment, my heart was running a marathon in my chest

Even my hands were shaking like they were having seizures of their own 

Okay, this was stupid, I should go back to my room, no one sent me here anyway 

But I didn’t, I stayed rooted to my spot, then of their own free will, my hands knocked softly on thr door

A few seconds passed, then the door opened

Calum stood there in nothing but grey sweatpants….no underwear 

Don’t ask me how I know, I could literally see his…ahem!

His hair was messy and his eyes were still heavy with sleep

“Diana?” He looked surprised “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” He was already accessing me head to toe

“I couldn’t sleep,” I whispered

His expression changed, then his eyes darkened wirj realisation “You shouldn’t be here”

“I know”

“If anyone sees you…”

“I know” I looked down at my bare feet “I’m sorry, I’ll go”

I turned to leave but his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist

“Wait” His voice was rough “Come inside”

He pulled me into his room and closed the door behind us. Then he locked it

We stood there in the darkness, just breathing. The only light came from the moon through his window

“Why are you really here?” he asked quietly

“I told you. I couldn’t sleep”

“Diana”

“I needed to see you” The words came out in a rush “I needed to thank you for what you did today. And I just… I needed to see you”

He was quiet for a moment. Then he reached out and cupped my face in his hands

“If you want it, just say it out, no need to talk in codes” he teased, my cheeks burned but than the goddess it was dark

“If you keep blushing like that, I’m afraid you’re going to turn pink forever…not that I’m complaining though” oh goddess!

“So tell me Diana…do you want me to touch you?” He breathed into my ear, the reverberation from his voice going to pull straight in between my legs

H web let go of me and I winced at the loss of his contact “You’re not saying anything…I’ll just go back to bed then” he said, already retiring

“Wait! I want you” I blurted, my eyes locked t the ground 

“Me or the floor, Diana?”

“You” I responded, finally looking up…the next instant, I was engulfed in his embrace again

“Want do you want me to do to you?” I inhaled shakily

“I…I want…I want you to touch me” I manged to say

“Where?” Seriously?? How was I supposed…

“Where, Diana”

“Everywhere, touch my pussy, touch my nipples, suck on them, play with them, kiss me” oh I felt really slutty and good

“Aw! You naughty naughty girl” he purred and turned me to face him 

I didnt even get the chance to register the action when his lips crashed into mine

I melted into him immediately. My arms wrapped around his neck and I pressed myself against his bare chest

His hands moved down to my waist and he pulled me even closer such that I could feel every muscle in his body. Feel how hard he was against my stomach

I moaned into his mouth and his grip tightened

He walked me backwards until my legs hit his bed. Then he gently pushed me down onto it

He stood there looking down at me. His eyes were so dark they were almost black

“Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice rough

“I don’t want you to stop”

“Diana, if we do this…”

“I know” I reached up and grabbed his hand “I know what this means. And I don’t care”

He groaned and then he was on top of me. His weight pressed me into the mattress and I loved it.

He kissed me again while his hands explored my body. They slid down my sides, over my hips, down to my thighs.

His fingers found the hem of my nightgown and slowly pushed it up. His hand touched my bare thigh and I gasped.

“So soft,” he murmured against my lips

His hand moved higher, pushing my nightgown up until it was bunched around my waist. Now only my panties separated us.

His fingers traced patterns on my inner thigh. Getting closer and closer to where I needed him most

“Please,” I breathed

“Please what?”

“Touch me”

His hand moved to cup me through my panties. I was already so wet.

“Fuck,” he groaned. “You’re soaking, Diana, have you been thinking about me, huh, naughty girl” my face turned pink

He rubbed me through the fabric and I arched off the bed. It felt so good but it wasn’t enough

“More,” I begged

He hooked his fingers in my panties and pulled them down my legs. Then he tossed them aside.

Now I was completely exposed to him

His hand moved back between my legs. This time there was nothing between his fingers and my skin

He stroked through my wetness slowly learning and exploring me

When his finger found my clit, I cried out

“Shh,” he whispered “You have to be quiet, baby. We don’t want anyone to hear”

I bit my lip to keep from making noise as he circled my clit with his finger

Pleasure built inside me. My hips moved against his hand, seeking more.

He kissed down my neck while his finger worked me. Then he pushed one finger inside me

I gasped at the intrusion. It felt strange but good

“You okay?” he asked

I nodded, not trusting my voice

He moved his finger slowly at first. In and out. Then he added a second finger and I moaned

“That’s it,” he murmured “Take it”

His thumb found my clit while his fingers moved inside me. The dual sensation was almost too much

I grabbed onto his shoulders, my nails digging into his skin. My whole body was tense, chasing something I didn’t quite understand

“Let go,” he said against my ear “I’ve got you”

His fingers moved faster and his thumb pressed harder

And then I shattered

Pleasure exploded through me. My body shook and I cried out his name

He covered my mouth with his to muffle the sound while I came apart beneath him

When I finally came down, I was breathing hard. My whole body felt like liquid

He pulled his fingers out gently and I whimpered at the loss

“You’re so beautiful when you come,” he said, kissing me softly

I could feel him hard against my thigh. He was still fully clothed

“What about you?” I asked

“Don’t worry about me”

“But…”

“This was about you” He kissed me again “Just you”

He rolled off me and pulled me against his side. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat

We lay there in silence for a while, and his hand stroked my hair gently

“I should go back to my room,” I said eventually, even though I didn’t want to move

“Stay” His arm tightened around me “Just for a little while”

“What if someone finds out?”

“They won’t” He pulled a blanket over both of us “Just rest. I’ll wake you before sunrise”

I knew I should argue. Knew I should go back to my room

But lying there in his arms felt too good

So I closed my eyes and let myself have this. Just for tonight

“Calum?” I whispered

“Yeah?”

“Thank you, for everything”

He kissed the top of my head “You don’t have to thank me. Taking care of you is not a burden, mama, It’s a privilege”

My chest felt tight with emotion. I had never felt this way before

“Get some sleep,” he murmured

I snuggled closer to him and closed my eyes

For the first time in years, I fell asleep feeling completely at peace

Even though I knew this couldn’t last. Even though I knew we were taking a huge risk

In that moment, wrapped in his arms, I didn’t care about any of it

I just wanted to be his

And judging by the way he held me like I was something precious, he wanted to be mine too
