Chapter 46 Primal side
He should have said he was there, he should have made a move to correct her misconception but instead letting his desire fuel him he quietly took hypnotic steps towards Audrey.
He stops behind her, inhaling a sharp breath as she parts her hair properly over her shoulder, granting him more access. His hands slowly rise to take hold of the ends of the two ribbons, his pants immediately growing tighter by the second. Wrapping one end around his four fingers he leaves enough to continue looping them through.
He steps dangerously closer, his hot breath now fanning against the side of her exposed throat. His hands work at the ribbons while he focuses all his senses on the sound of Audrey's now heavy breathing and her sweet sensual scent. This was too much skin, he was seeing too much, so much so that he could feel the golden pool of desire filling his dark orbs.
Darius knew exactly what was happening, Phoenix was aroused and unlike the many times he got aroused by his mate Darius was able to use flesh to control his more primal side.
But this time, this time was different. This time even Darius had no control over his growing erection nor his urge to touch his mate. To have her skin against his, to feel her against his finger tips. She was so close, just a few inches and he would be touching her beautiful flawless skin.
His head had gone lower, his nose tickling the curve of her shoulder making Audrey shiver in delight. The feeling was all too familiar, the surge of euphoric bliss, fuzzy and light headed feeling coupled with an indescribable skin sensitivity.
The slightest skin contact would have them both reeling and shivering in pleasure and delight.
"Darius" Audrey's voice comes out breathless and barely a whisper as she recognises and acknowledges his touch. "I-" the words get caught in her throat as she turns, her eyes half lided and full with desire. Her cheeks are flushed and her gaze never leave the ones of a certain 6ft 9' Alpha male. Snapping out of her daze she watches his gaze sweep over her and land on a very full and prominent part.
She moves to cover her spilling cleavage, the corset pushing up her already full breasts and making them look as intended- horribly attractive and revealing without the top layer she was meant to put above it.
"Sh, don't speak" Darius's deep husky tone comes out raspy and it effectively shuts Audrey up. Carefully he pries her hands away from her cleavage, never once releasing her gaze. He steps impossibly closer, Audrey's chest coming in contact with his. Immediately she inhales a sharp breath, her pulse quickening as he places his hand firmly on her hip effectively causing her breath to hitch and her lower abdomen to heat up.
Her hands went to his chest, finally giving in to his touch. She had admitted it to herself, she had craved his touch and she wanted him to kiss her like he did last time- hot, passionate and dominating.
Her own neediness scared her but at the moment she didn't want to think about anything else nor could she really. The only occupant of her thoughts the last few weeks was right here in front of her, giving her what she had been craving and was scared she was beginning to want- him.
He trails his finger over her skin light feather-like touches across her shoulder and to her forearm earning shaky breaths from Audrey. He accompanied each stroke of his finger with a chaste kiss to her throat making her squirm as a light noise of approval left her lips, earning a low combined growl from both Darius and Phoenix.
His two hands hold her waist, firmly pulling her body completely flushed against his. His light kisses turn into more passionate ones as he draws closer to a very weirdly sensitive area between the junction of Audrey's jaw line and the soft spot under her ear.
He plants a greedy kiss to it, nibbling gently on the skin, teasing and what seemed to be a little action makes Audrey's legs give out and a loud unauthorized cry escapes her lips. It was like a bolt had jolted through her body and dropped right at her core and she had crashed from a state of a high ecstasy.
Just from one kiss
The loud cry of pleasure reaches the ears of the two females who stand by listening in. They rejoice quietly, dancing and enjoying their victory. They knew after this things would be all good for the couple. Audrey's cheeks flushed at how loud she was, her heavy breathing and the heat she felt made her confused but in center she felt the moisture between her legs she immediately turned a dark crimson, the heat spreading across her face.
She stays still, not knowing what to do or how to respond. She only secretly prays to the goddess that Darius didn't just notice what had happened. She didn't even understand what happened herself. Her breathing was ragged and her skin costed with a layer of sweat, she felt like she had just ran around the castle and her rapid pulse and heaving chest was proof of it.
She felt herself being slowly lowered and carefully deposited so she was laying on her bed, underneath Darius who had managed to angle then in such a way that his weight was kept off her by his strong well defined arms.
Audrey only now noticed that he had removed the top suit of his kings attire. He looked devilishly alluring, so good it made Audrey feel all the more worse for her situation. She finally let her gaze meet his and what she saw left her own eyes widening to a fraction.
The gold flakes had pooled into his gaze making his pupils a unique beautiful mix of gold and dark onyx hues. She could see the amount of adoration he had for her, the way he looked at her with such tenderness, protectiveness, possessiveness and love had her embarrassment reducing. Just enough for her to awkward look away instead of flat out high tailing her behind out of the room like she had contemplated doing.
He brings his hand up to her face, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear and sending her a sweet smile that reached his eyes and displayed his dimpled cheeks.
He looked so good it should be illegal. Audrey still felt confused, embarrassed and hot so she did the only thing she could to help her escape the moment. She shut her eyes tight, covering her face with her palms. Embarrassment coated her cheeks, a deep red tint and the last thing on her mind was to try explain what just happened.
