Book 5: Chapter 44 – Under A Mating Haze

Book 5: Chapter 44 – Under A Mating Haze
Alexandrios’s POV 

I watched Cerelia lying against my chest in a deep slumber. With her pale hair sprawled all around her like a halo sparkling under the dim bedroom lights, she took my breath away. I couldn’t believe this exquisite creature was mine. Only mine. 

A sense of satisfaction spread all over my body and mind. I was glad everything fell into place. The confusion I had been feeling had ebbed away on its own. Now all I had to do was convince her to return to Lucania with me. 

I had already started working on my mission. My first step was confessing my love to her. However, it hurt me when she didn’t respond as I expected her to. 

‘Give her some time to get used to it, Alex. She’s just eighteen. There’s so much happening around her, she’s too confused right now,’ said Rio. 

‘Yes, you’re right.’ Although I was disappointed, I knew I wouldn’t give up so easily. I would drill it into her head that I loved her the most in the world. No one else could love her as much as I did. The day she realized it, she would be mine in the true sense of the term. 

I would surely wait for the day. 

Her soft breathing and her addictive scent soon lulled me to a deep slumber. It was the first time I slept so well after rescuing Cerelia. 

The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. The sun was shining strong, and it was already 8 a.m. Cerelia stretched beside me, opening her eyes at the same time. 

“Good morning, beautiful!” I leaned in to plant a kiss on her nose. 

She blushed to see my naked body and throbbing cck, waiting for her touch. Her luscious lips and rosy cheeks attracted me to her like a magnet. I could feel myself get aroused all over again. 

“Good morning, mate.” My organ tingled at the reminder. Yes, we had completed the mate bond between us. I could feel myself harden with more need. 

She gasped, knowing how I felt. And she wasn’t immune to me either. I could get the scent of her arousal, and it drove me wild. 

“I need to freshen up.” She sprang from the bed before I could grab hold of her. I smiled, watching her head to the washroom. It felt so good to connect with her mind and her soul. I was glad she wasn’t blocking me out. I waited for her to emerge. How had I become so horny overnight? 

All I could think of was knotting her again. The sensation of her milking my knot was so intense, hot and tight, I wanted to feel it again. 

I could hear water splashing in the en-suite. My mate is showering! I could swear my sensations had become more acute after mating. 

Fuk! I could have joined her. 

It was torture to feel her soaping herself. I could have done it better. If it wasn’t a hotel room, I would have broken the door and barged in. 

At last, the washroom door opened, and she emerged shyly, watching me warily. Wrapped in nothing but a towel, she took my breath away. My cck surged with need, painfully hard and demanding now. 

I rose from the bed and walked towards her, like a predator on the prowl. Her eyes widened as she stood frozen, waiting for me to grab her. She might have got the scent of my arousal while her rose and vanilla scent, accompanied by her familiar scent, made me wild. I reached her in two strides while she stepped backward until she touched the wall. Grabbing her hands in one of mine, I pinned them above her head as I gazed at her parted lips. 

“Xandrios!” The way she whispered my name, it felt so good, like she wanted me as much as I wanted her. I wanted to make love to her until she lost her senses and confessed her love for me. It sounded like a mating call, reverberating through me, arousing my wolf, too. But I held him back from surfacing and taking over. Definitely, I would give him a chance, but not now. 

Releasing her hands, I cupped her cheek, wrapping an arm around her waist at the same time to pull her flush against me. A gasp of pleasure escaped her mouth, feeling my aroused cck against her stomach. Leaning down, I pressed my lips to the mark I gave her and grazed it with the tip of my fingers. A tremor of need went up her spine.

I couldn’t wait to do it again with her. 

Pulling the damp towel off her body, I lavished my attention on her gorgeous breasts. They were so full, perfect, and erect, attracting me towards them like magnets. I leaned over and took them into my mouth, one at a time, swirling my thumb over the other one. Her eyes closed, and she fisted her hands into my hair. 

“Oh, this feels so good!” I smiled against her breasts. Yes, it was heavenly. 

“How about this?” I grabbed her thigh and hoisted it, wrapping it around my naked torso. My fingers found her weeping slit, and I groaned with satisfaction. “Fck you’re soaking.” 

It excited me to know how ready she was for me. 

She grasped my shoulders as I pushed her against the wall while my fingers curled inside her soaking folds. 

“Oh, don’t stop!” Her eyes rolled to the back of her head when I touched her clt, circling in and out in a slow rhythm. 

“Please,” she whimpered when I pulled my fingers out of her, only to slam my throbbing cck inside her. “Oh, my!” Her breathy gasp caused my organ to vibrate inside her, elongating more with every thrust. I was so lost in the sensation that my chest purred with satisfaction. 

Placing my hand under her butt, I picked her up while still embedded inside her. She wrapped her legs around my torso as I walked backward towards the bed. 

We tumbled into it together, still united. My knot was too strong to let go, thrusting deeper and deeper inside her. 

“Please, Xandrios, don’t stop.” I picked up speed instead. Obviously, I couldn’t stop even if I wanted to. 

“I’m finally home, Cerelia. I can’t stop.” My lips sought hers as I slammed in and out of her. She met my thrusts with equal fervor. At that moment, we forgot everything but our need for one another. It was like an elemental need, above food, water, and oxygen. 

I was in a mating haze. 

The vibrations were so strong, for a moment I thought my cck would detonate inside her.

“Mine. Mine. Mine,” I growled as power surged through me when she started milking my knot. “From this moment onwards, we are one. We belong to one another for life, Cerelia, to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. Do you feel the same way?” 

She nodded with tears of happiness in her eyes, clutching onto my shoulders. I watched her as if hypnotized, feeling her body convulse around me. The sight of her curves, her glowing, dewy skin, her thick pale hair, luscious lips, and long eyelashes had me under a spell. 

“Oh, I’m almost there!” she cried out as more lubrication gushed out of her, followed by an explosive climax inside me. It rocked us together, leaving her sagging on the bed. 

“Fuk,” I grunted as I felt myself climax and jet inside her. My knot abated and slowly released her. We stayed holding onto one another for what seemed like minutes. 

“That was better than last night,” she whispered, and I smiled. I waited for her to confess her feelings to me, but she didn’t.

“It will get better and better.” I couldn’t help but smile when she gasped. Yes, I wanted her again.

“I’m sore, Xandrios.” She raised her head and looked into my eyes. 

“No problem at all. Let’s get some food into your system and you’ll be energized.” Obviously, I wasn’t done with her. There were so many ways to make love in the water, with lubrication and so on. None of them would hurt her.

I couldn’t stop after getting a taste of my mate. I freshened up and ordered breakfast. Cerelia fell asleep after a hearty breakfast and I let her rest. In my dazed state, I forgot to book our flights to Athens. It seemed it escaped Cerelia’s mind, too. 

She woke up at lunchtime, feeling better and more energetic. I had ordered lunch, and we helped ourselves to the delightful fare. It seemed none of us could wait to make love. The scent of our arousal was heavy in the air as we devoured the food I ordered. 

“I’ve never been this hungry all my life.” She chuckled as her eyes swept over my erection. 

“I’ve been this hungry since the day I met you.” I winked at her while she gasped. 

“Umm, I meant the food.” She blushed, and I sucked in the acute scent of her arousal.

“You sure did. I hope you’re rested enough. I can’t wait to be inside you again, Cerelia.” 

She smiled shyly and nodded. “I can’t wait to have you home inside me, mate.” 

It was an open invitation, and I definitely wouldn’t turn her down. 

I was in no hurry to go to Athens. Could I make her change her mind and go to Lucania instead?
