Chapter 17 Clean up

Chapter 17 Clean up
Selene 

The fucking truth was that, I felt so relaxed falling to the ground. The floor was hard, yes, but I finally got to lie down. I had been standing for hours and I felt that strong need to just sleep. I'd just close my eyes and sleep. 

I heard footsteps and I knew that Dain was approaching me. I managed to slow my breathing and act unconscious. I looked stone dead. “Selene?” Dain called and he shook my shoulders, “Selene,” He shook me again, but I did not move. It did not matter that I was on the ground naked. It was not even the first time that Dain had seen me naked. I would do anything to see that we did not have sex. 

“Selene?” He called again and his voice was oddly calm. He was not panicking and he was gentle with the way he shook me. Dain was not someone I knew to be gentle. He was rough and I was very certain that he did not have an atom of gentleness in him. 

He did not call me again, but he placed his two fingers on the side of my neck to feel my pulse. I made sure to slow my breathing and after checking my pulse to see that I was very much alive and just fainted, he removed his fingers and then lifted me off the ground. 

I almost stiffened out of shock but I quickly reminded myself that I fainted. I was supposed to be unconscious. I did not make any movement but the thing was that I was so shocked, why was Dain carrying me in a bridal style and where was he even carrying me to? I felt him place me on something soft. A bed. His bed was so very soft and I immediately knew that it would take nothing for me to fall asleep. That bed was so soft and comforting. All my body pains seemed to go away. 

Dain stepped away from the bed and I felt him cover my body with a bed cover, Just then a knock came on the door. I jerked and I was glad at that moment that no eyes were on me. “Alpha—” I heard a voice. 

“Did you get the things?” 

“Yes, Alpha.” The person replied and I heard some ruffling on the other side. “Do you want me to take the slave away?” That slave was me and the person speaking was a guard. Dain must have summoned him using a mind link.

“No, you can go.” he dismissed the guard who left. After the door clicked shut, I heard footsteps that were coming towards the bed and once Dain got to the bedside, he removed the bed cover from my body, leaving me naked and exposed once again. 

I was confused as my mind kept telling me that he covered me just so the guard would not see me naked. That did not matter, I was in a soft and comfortable bed and the only thing that was stopping me from falling asleep was that I wanted to know what Dain was going to do to me. I had no idea what he collected from the guard. 

I felt his touch on my forehead and I knew that he was feeling my temperature from the way he moved. “What should I do with you?” Dain mumbled to himself and his voice was extremely low. I was not running a temperature. I just wanted to rest. 

“You surprise me,” he added and Dain was seriously speaking to himself because I was certain that it was just the two of us in the room and how did I surprise him? Dain and I had not shared a real conversation before. It had never happened. 

It felt like he was assessing me with his eyes and was just staring at me from head to toe. All the hairs on my body stood when I felt his hand on my pussy. He was not stroking me but instead, pushed my legs open. I suddenly became on high alert because I thought that he was going to fuck me. When I was unconscious? 

My shoulders fell because I thought what I was trying to avoid was going to happen and was Dain that sick? Was he going to have sex with an unconscious lady? To my surprise, he never did any of that. 

I felt a warm cloth down there and it took me a second to realize that he was cleaning me up. He was fucking cleaning me up. I had to secretly pinch myself to make sure that I was not in a dream after falling asleep. I was not. Dain was actually cleaning me up. 

His movements were also very slow and gentle. He was not going so hard and it seemed like he was taking his time to clean me up down there. I was in shock as I could not believe that. It was so unbelievable. It was Dain. The cold Lycan king. The ruthless Alpha. He was cleaning me up. How? 

After he was done, he applied something down there and it was from the soothing feeling that I knew that it was a cream to help reduce the soreness in my pussy. “This will help reduce the sore. You really need to take care of yourself more often.” I almost frowned because why did it seem like Dain was talking directly to me? I still did not move. 

“I know that you are conscious. I'm not a fool Selene. I'm a Lycan with great hearing abilities. I can hear your heartbeats from where I am and they keep rising and falling. I can smell the nervousness on you.” He said and I stiffened. The hell? I suddenly became stiff as I lost the ability to move. He knew? 

Anyone in my shoes would jump off the bed to start begging, but I could not find the fucking strength to move. “Sleep. You look tired. We will talk once you wake up.” And with that, he was walking away from the bed. The hell??!
