Chapter Seventeen

Willow’s POV.

It had been two weeks since I had decided to give Dimitri a chance. And I did not regret it. If anyone had told me just how sweet my boss could be, I would have disagreed. The person I was seeing was a completely different person. I could not count the number of times he had brought me flowers. My bedside table was practically overflowing with vases at this point. I even had to tell him to stop.

I picked up the second bracelet he had given me and I smiled. I knew Dimitri wanted to give me so much more. But that was not what I wanted for now. And I loved that he was trying his best to respect my choice. My heart was very full, and I realized that what he said was right. If Dimitri had been this gentle with me when we met, we would not have been able to stop ourselves from mating.

Today was the day Kendra was coming to Russia. I had not told her anything about werewolves, and I did not even know where to start. But I was going to tell her, because she was my best friend. So, when I heard commotion downstairs, I assumed that she had arrived.

But when I did go down, the scene I walked into was a shocking one. Vladimir and Kendra were staring at each other with surprise written all over their faces. I was confused as I looked for a familiar face. I could not find Dimitri though, and the moment they were sharing seemed a little too intimate for me to intrude.

I just stood there and I felt like leaving when Vladimir took Kendra into his arms and sobbed into her hair. I felt like I was intruding into a deep personal moment, so I turned to move away and I bumped into Dimitri. He caught me so I didn’t fall and I looked up into his face with a smile. Would I ever grow tired of looking at this man?

I did not think so.

“What’s happening here?” I asked Dimitri in a whisper.

“They’re mates,” he said simply.

My eyes widened. I was torn between letting them experience whatever they were experiencing and going to badger my friend for some answers. She did not look shocked at all about the fact that they were mates, which told me she was not that clueless about werewolves.

“Come, I have something to show you,” Dimitri said, making my decision for me.

I was not mad. After all, Vladimir had lost his mate a few weeks ago and now he had another one? That was one scene I did not want to interrupt. I followed my mate as we went out of the house into the backyard. Dimitri’s home was so big, and each time I called it a castle, he burst into laughter. But it was the honest truth. This place was so damn big.

“How are they mates if Vladimir’s mate died a few weeks ago?” I asked Dimitri as we were walking.

“Second chance mates. It is rare, but it does exist. I guess they were just lucky enough to find each other,” he explained.

I hummed and we continued walking in silence, till we reached a tree. I looked around for anything special but I could not find it. So I turned to Dimitri with a frown on my face.

“I want you to meet my wolf. He is sad that he did not get to make a good first impression.”

I swallowed. The encounter with Dimitri’s wolf had been scary. But if I wanted to live with this man forever, I was going to have to get to know his wolf. So, I nodded. And the smile on Dimitri’s face made my agreement worth it.

“Thank you. His name is Adrik,” Dimitri said, then he started pulling his clothes off.

I turned away, a little startled. Eventually I would have to see Dimitri naked, but it was not now. When I turned back, Adrik was standing there. He looked hesitant and I guessed he did not want to frighten me like the first time around. So, I went towards him and placed a hand on his head and stroked a little.

That made him happy because he let out a joyful noise and his tongue started wagging. I laughed continued stroking him. Before I could understand what was going on, I was on the grass and Adrik was licking me. This time around, it was not frightening. I was actually enjoying the whole experience, and anyone who heard my laughter would be convinced.

We spent a few moments like that, and even though I could not communicate with him yet - Dimitri told me it would only come after we mated - I felt so at peace. I lay my head on his soft fur and I sighed. I could stay like this forever.

***

I did not know how many hours had passed and I did not even understand what time Adrik and I had slept off. When I woke up, I was in Dimitri’s bedroom and he was sitting at the desk, just staring at me. I looked around in confusion and he looked a little sheepish.

“I’m so sorry. I could not bring myself to take you back to your bedroom. I wanted to watch you for a bit.”

“Do you realize how creepy that sounds?” I asked with a laugh, sitting up.

“If you knew there’s worse thoughts that have gone through my head.” This was said with so much intensity that the laugh faded away.

“Of course you can go back to your bedroom whenever you please.”

My first instinct was to agree. But I don’t know what came over me. I shook my head. “No. I want to stay here,” I told Dimitri with a determined look on my face.

Dimitri sat up. I knew he understood exactly what I meant. “Are you sure?” he asked me.

I blushed, but I nodded.

Dimitri took a visibly deep breath, then he stood from the desk and stalked towards me. I used the word stalked because of how he looked. It seemed my words had struck some nerve in his head. Dimitri reached me and took my hands into his and kissed them gently.

“Thank you,” he said almost reverently. Then he kissed me.

This kiss was different from the ones we had shared in the past weeks. It felt like Dimitri wanted to access my soul through my body, and damned if I did not let him. He cupped my face gently in his hands and explored my mouth with his tongue. I kissed him back, enjoying what felt like jolts of electricity going through my body as we touched each other.

Dimitri pulled away then he kissed my forehead. “I have dreamed of this day for months, and everything I imagined pales in comparison,” he whispered, then he placed a kiss on my lips.

I wondered how he thought I would function when he said things like this. This man… His fingers found the hem of my dress and he looked at me in askance. After a little hesitation, I nodded. Dimitri pulled my dress off and the only thing I was sitting in was a pair of black panties.

He stepped back and looked at me. The expression on his face could only be described as thirsty. He was taking me in like I was the first glass of water he was about to drink in months. I shivered a little even though it was not cold.

Dimitri came towards me and cupped my breasts in his hands. “You are so perfect,” he whispered, then he twisted my nipples. I gasped and took a deep breath.

This man was about to take possession of my body.

He kissed me again and before I could respond, his lips found my nipples. He took one of them into his mouth and sucked gently. I felt like my soul was about to leave my body, and he had not even touched me yet. Dimitri repeated the process on the other nipple and I closed my eyes and almost leaned back in the bed.

“I never knew this day would come,” he whispered and I opened my eyes and stared at him. The look on his face was so intense, it almost scared me. If I did not feel exactly the same way he did, I probably would have stood up and left the room.

“I want to see you too,” I said, but he shook his head. Then he took my hands in his and made me stand.

I almost covered myself up but the look on his face stopped me.

“Don’t,” he said.

Dimitri carried me bridal style and laid me on the bed again. The time around, he spread my legs and he pulled my panties down slowly. I watched as he did this, trying my best not to close my legs instinctively. Dimitri kissed my inner thigh, then he spread my legs even more and lifted my knees. I was now completely at his mercy.

Dimitri moved his way up, teasing my thighs with kisses until he finally reached my crotch. He stared at it for a while then pulled the lips apart slightly. Then he bent and placed a small kiss on my pleasure nub. That was when I let out the breath I did not know I was holding. This man was going to be the death of me.

I almost pushed him away when he took my clit into his mouth and sucked on it gently. I closed my eyes and bunched the sheets up in my fists. I was going to be the first woman to die from pleasure.

“Dimitri,” I let out, not able to stop the moans anymore. I could feel the orgasm coming. It was a mix of the tension between us and the pleasure I was feeling at that moment.

As soon as the orgasm was about to take over me, Dimitri pulled away abruptly. I opened my eyes and stared at him in confusion. When he pulled off all his clothes, I understood. I stared at his member, hard and proud between his legs. I wondered if it would fit.

“It will,” Dimitri said with an amused chuckle and I realized that I had spoken out loud.

He came towards me and kissed me. This one was sweet and passionate, and I felt like some part of him had merged with some part of me. As he kissed me, Dimitri guided his member to my wetness and he pressed gently, imbedding himself into me with one thrust.

“Oh,” I let out.

“Are you okay?” Dimitri asked and I nodded.

He searched my face to be sure, and once he found what he was looking for, he nodded as well. Then he started moving. It felt like we had been crafted with each other in mind. I had never felt this kind of pleasure with anyone else. It felt like I had never enjoyed being with anyone else.

I closed my eyes and screamed out his name. Then Dimitri grunted and I knew he was about to cum as well, so I let go and let the pleasure wash over me.

He stayed inside me for a while, and honestly, I could stay like that with him forever. After a while, Dimitri slipped out of me and got out of bed. Then he walked to the bathroom and came back with a towel. I watched as he cleaned me and I felt so awash of love.

I loved him.

I loved Dimitri.

He looked up and our eyes met. “I love you too Willow,” he said.

“Did I say that out loud?” I asked, mortified.

“No, but we can communicate now,” he told me with a small chuckle.

Then he dropped the towel and came and took me into his arms. “I love you so much. And I cannot wait for us to spend the rest of our lives with each other.”

“I love you too,” I said, and he sealed our declarations with a kiss.

THE END.
