Chapter 97 Lust
>>Nico
"Oh! Fuck it!!" Asher said and I didn't realize it at first, but he drew out his claws and slashed through the snake's skin
The serpent hissed in pain and loosened its grip but that didn't make it go away. It let us go but attacked Asher trying to bite him.
Asher on the other hand got vigilant, he launched himself forward, clawing at the serpent's face and making it slam on the ground in the opposite direction.
"Nico!" He yelled my name, "Get inside the cave." He stood between me and the enemy and for a moment I paused as I kept my eyes on him.
He's protecting me?
I shook my head,
Wow,
Looking at that made me feel a little weird but oddly, it made me feel nicely weird.
"Okay," I replied and began to jog towards the cave when the rain got heavy out of the blue.
HUH?
It made me glance at the sky as thunder rumbled
"Nico!!" And then suddenly I heard Asher's voice, making me look to the side and noticing the anaconda mid-air, with its fangs out, flying towards me
!!!!
Time slowed down as I panicked but Asher was on high alert. He was already on his way to me. As my body turned around to try and defend myself, the serpent got nearer but before it could lay its deadly poison on me with its fangs Asher made his way to me.
Wrapping me in one arm and throwing a long sideway punch with the other, he attacked the snake in the first second and rolled with me in the other second.
My heart beat got wilder and when we fell to the ground to roll away, my eyes got wide too.
Why?
Because I felt so protected and cared for I couldn't describe it.
It was a dangerous situation but I couldn't help it. Asher got up on his feet and forced me up too. With one glance at the snake, we saw it slithering around but it wasn't coming for us.
It was then I noticed the blood on the snake's face.
Hmm?
And then I looked down at Asher's hand with which he was holding me and saw the blood there too. He seemed to have damaged the enemy enough that the snake had grown vary even though it had a size advantage.
It was one huge snake about ten feet long.
"Move to the cave," Asher said again as he kept his eyes on the serpent.
"Okay," I replied but grabbed his hands back, "We'll go together," I kept my eyes on him and began to move towards the cave, forcing him to move with me. I didn't want to leave him alone. He may be a hunter but I just didn't want to leave him alone.
I felt scared. I don't know if it was for myself or because for him but I just wanted him by my side.
The snake didn't come any closer and we reached the cave. The fire was still going in there which was a relief.
I let out a sigh, then shook my head to clear it since it still felt boggy but just shaking it didn't do much. I was feeling dizzy for some reason and almost fell as I tripped on a rock.
!!!
Asher caught me immediately before I fell to the rough surface, "Careful!!" He brought me back up easily by putting both his hands on my waist, then he looked back outside, "Relax," His eyes had shifted and he was trying to keep an eye on the snake's movement.
And I would do that too normally. I don't depend on other people for my own defense and all but I couldn't help but keep staring at his face. I didn't seem so worried about the snake, maybe because I was sure Asher would do a good job at it.
And that's not how I normally think.
But today was different somehow.
I began to sit down but noticed he wasn't moving, so I grabbed his hands, "Sit," I said softly but the truth was I felt my throat getting dry again.
Asher came down with me without a word and I gulped, even licked my lips to make myself feel better as I kept my eyes on him but I didn't feel satisfied for some reason.
What is happening?
That was a very stupid question to ask myself because right the next moment, I noticed how my body flared up like milk boiling over a pot when no one's noticing.
!!!!!
OH! SHIT!!!!!!!
And I finally realized why my mind was getting bogged up and I was feeling dizzy all over again.
The heat spell was back.
"Fuck," I let out a curse. I should have known, the heat only temporarily stopped because I passed out, and there was no way it had ended.
"Fuck?" Asher raised his brows but didn't look at me,
"Nothing," I finally looked away.
"You okay?"
"Yea," I licked my lips again in order to wet them but they got dry so fast, "Don't mind me." I may have said that but all the symptoms I was feeling before came back to me all at once.
!?!?!?
OH! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!!
These were the last remaining thoughts that changed to confusion and dizziness that made me try to resist the violent incoming surging tides of desire.
OH! GOD!!!
"Nico?" Asher noticed me panting and gently stroked my back with one of his hands that was placed there, and it caused my severely sensitive body to tremble all over, "Are you okay?" He spared me a glance but I looked away.
I didn't want him to catch how red my face had gotten.
"Hm!" I let out a short affirmation that sounded like a hiccup.
The small part between my thighs felt wet and sticky. The bubbling desire inside of me desperately wanted to burst out. My mouth had also become very dry, however, my throat was like a dry desert.
"Oh!" My body was on fire the next moment, "GOD!" I couldn't help but let the words out because this felt like it was even more intense than the last spell.
The thing between my legs aroused a soft and itchy craving out of me. I had to clamp my legs shut in order to cover up that embarrassing moment.
And the cause of all of this had no idea what it was that I desired. Asher lowered his head and intensely stared down at me, "Hey," He tried to look at my face but I looked further down and further away, "You look sick, what's happening?" I could tell he was worried but I couldn't help but want to hide myself.
But I guess that wasn't going to stop him from finding out because an omega in heat means I'm going to release my lust pheromones.
"Wait..." I glanced at Asher and his eyes had gone wide. He was staring at me with an unusual look, "I smell something so-" He shook his head, "So sweet," He gulped and I saw his eyes flash in excitement, "Like the scent of wine."
My pupils shook, "The snake?"
"It's gone," He grabbed my face with both my hands. I felt a shock go through my skin, "Nico," He looked into my eyes, "You're in heat?"
I interpreted the turbulent lust in those narrow, deep pupils of his and was shocked to realize that there was a deadly determination in them as well.
"I," I didn't know what to tell him but I knew I couldn't hide it anymore. The pheromones were too strong and they had already begun to excite him as well.
"Yes?" He asked and my body began to tremble even more. I was having so much trouble just saying one word of affirmation because I was never allowed to say it to anyone.
Amara was the only person who knew and only because she herself was an omega in an unfortunate situation.
I gulped. The fire danced behind me and I noticed something as I continued to look at Asher Through his eyes, I saw my appearance, I was looking at him with a meaningful, yet blurry, stare. My wet bangs were matted against my forehead, and my gasps escaped from my half-opened mouth. I looked as though I was unable to refuse my desire like I was welcoming him.
My heart skipped a beat when I noticed how seductive I looked in his eyes.
But it wasn't on purpose, I couldn't control myself, because, to me, Asher was a strong magnet that attracted my very existence. My body eagerly wanted him. My willpower was rapidly collapsing, and there was a hidden volcano inside of me that was ready to erupt.
"Yes," I said the word, and tears slipped down my cheeks, "I am,"
