The sound of a distant owls hoot, and then a familiar tower bell's chime alerted me that we were nearing the castle.
I could do nothing but sigh in his arms as Bryce held me closer,leaping on a tree while at it. How many times had we been here? Him taking inhuman leaps, I on his shoulders? Clearly I was not in a mood to do a head count, but it felt like one too many!
I grit my teeth together and shut my eyes tightly as a cold wind blew over and the violent shivers began. Everything just seemed like a large cycle of never endings.
The quick click of a door opening alerted me of finally reaching the castle, but the still present cold shivers kept me frozen in my condition.
"We're here,"
I was mad at Bryce. Very very mad. But as he dropped me onto the all too familiar black silk bed covers, I couldn't help but let a small smile show at how appreciative he looked as he stood at the foot of the bed, watching me.
"I like how you look in my bed"
'What an enigma...' I thought as I mentally rolled my eyes.
"Well, great. Because that's all you'll be doing for a while. Looking. Now tell me, why the abduction?"
Bryce let out a bitter chuckle, shaking his head slowly as he started making his way to where I was on the the edge of the bed.
"You know... When I climbed through the window tonight, I had thought to see my mate in her bed, alone, asleep.
Turns out she was asleep.But alone?-" he shook his head again "-That, she was not-"
His chuckle dimmed and his lips pulled in a thin line, the coldness in the room suddenly matching the coldness in his gaze. "-what I climbed through the window was my mate sleeping, but with her overly bubbly best friend and a man who happens to have the strangest of obsessions for her-"
"Bryce it's no-"
"-not what I think?" Bryce let out a stiff chuckled, his cold eyes giving off a strange gleam, he leaned over me, resting a knee on the bed as he did, going lower with me as I tried to move back on reflex.
"Then why was his arms around your waist? Under your shirt? And why was one of his legs over yours? Clearly, it's obviously not what I think Theia. It's obviously not the fact that you're letting a man who harbors affections for you entertain himself as he wishes!"
I knew at that moment, that my mouth kept slowly opening than closing like a fish out of water, but really, what was I to explain there?
Bryce however seemed like he rather not cared for a reply because he immediately continued, " I have never tried to forcefully dominate you, I have never tried to go against what you wish for intentionally, but gods forbid I am too selfish when it comes to you being mine. I want you Theia. Your soul, your body, your heart, you. I want you." He leaned in low enough so that his warm breath touched the back of my ear, I could almost feel his lips on that particular skin. "And if I have to kill someone for it, For you, I will feel no remorse at all."
"Y-you're t-trying to scare me into sending b-back Cass and Angelo." I could do nothing but stutter back, my wide eyes peering into his, occasionally drifting towards the thin lined smirk he was pulling off quite well.
Bryce only leaned in more, so that his lips brushed against my cheeks, "Am I, love?"
"Y-yes bu-" I was barely able to complete the sentence when his angry lips smacked onto mine, quickly my retort turned into a breathy moan.
What were we fighting over anyway?
The room seemed to fill with electrical sparks, even the open window unable to diffuse the heavy warmth that hung over the air. I couldn't help but grasp onto Bryce's shoulders and pull him roughly against me, his denim clad hips rubbing between my thighs. I let out another breathy moan at the Sparks that shot through my body when he pulled back his hips and pushed it against my lower stomach again.
"You're mine Theia. Don't you ever fucking forget it" Bryce growled, as he pressed his lips against my neck, working their way down the thin line of my satin tank top, his tongue tracing the swell of my breast.
A gasp left my lips as his fingers traced the hem of my tank before slipping under it, slowly running the flat of his palm against my taut belly.
Quickly finding its destination, his palm cupped my breast and gave it a slow squeeze.
"Bryce" I breathed shakily, arching my back to unconsciously give him more access.
Everything felt like it was sending a hundred volts of shock down my body. It seemed so sudden but before I knew it Bryce had pulled my tank over my head and his shirt was no where to be seen.
The chilly night breeze drifted into the room and I watched as Bryce's gaze turned dark, his eyes frozen on my hardening nipples. As if unable to hold himself he let out a strangled growl before pulling one of the hard buds into his mouth, sucking on it with his teeth before softly flicking his tongue on it almost as if massaging it.
"You're so beautiful" he groaned, pulling back as he did.
I almost let out a whimper at losing the feel of his tongue on me when he suddenly pulled away, his eyes blazing with something deep. He moved back to sit on his knees beside the bed before he suddenly grasped me around my legs and pulled me towards him, quickly resting both my legs on each of his shoulders.
I watched with jaded eyes as he closed his eyes and inhaled, smiling slightly, his hands reached up to caress the flat of my stomach. He looked up to gaze at me and smirked triumphantly. "You're mine"
Oh god that was sexy... The tiny voice inside me screamed, but despite my racing heart and the gush of something wet that had probably soiled my panties down there, I managed to uphold a frown, only long enough to question him. "Who says?"
"I suppose you need some convincing love" Bryce whispered as he chuckled, leaning forward and cheekily grazing my aching nipples with his taunting teeth. He moved back almost suddenly, and almost in a heartbeat resumed our earlier position, only this time he did so after pulling away my bottoms.
I shuddered with a newer sense of shyness and was just about to cover myself when Bryce grasped hold of my hand with his, a warning growl emitting itself from deep within his chest.
"Never hide yourself from me" he growled, slowly running his tongue along a tiny silver scar on my pelvic bone, which I had obtained by slamming past quite a sharp table's edge back in ninth grade. I had been quite a klutz than.
"Your scars are beautiful. Each and every one if them"
I felt tears brimming my eyes at his soft spoken admission and before I could contain myself I slipped my legs off of his shoulder, sunk my fingers into his hair and pulled him forward, leaning towards him midway before catching his lips with mine.
I gave my all into that kiss, all my love and adoration, silently praying that I was able to convey my feelings with it.
Finally fighting for our breaths Bryce finally pulled away and chuckled immediately, shaking his head as if in disbelief. "You blow my mind Theia, I think I'm going to end up neglecting my duties once you move in, I can see it. You and I in bed, naked, day after day, making mad love"
A giggle left my lips as I poured mockingly, "What if I want to make sweet love?"
Bryce's eyes gleamed and he moved back, resuming the same position for the third time tonight. His gaze met mine and he smirked again, "I don't do sweet, love."
My voice hitched in my throat as he pressed a slow open mouthed kiss on the inside of my left thigh, pulling it between his teeth as he repeated the same with other side, his hands however holding down on both my hands, our fingers entwined together.
I knew that he was teasing me but the need for friction between my legs almost made me cry out in frustration at not being able to press my thighs together to give it some relief.
"B-Bryce please" the breathy plea sounded alien to my ears and my eyes automatically widened when I figured it was I who had so wantonly begged Bryce to do some of the particularly naughty things that were running through my mind.
Bryce chucked as he pressed an open mouthed kiss closer to my swollen aching bundle of nerves. I moaned out quite loudly, my hips rubbing against him unconsciously. "Please what, babe?"
"I-ah-Oh God Bryce!!" I couldn't help but let out a scream as I felt his tongue touch the opening of my pussy and slowly lick it's way up, applying pressure on my throbbing cl!t.
I gasped as my hips shot towards his face, my fingers in his hair, pressing him against me.
It felt new, this feeling, this pressure, the pleasure, and heck I wanted it, I almost seemed to crave it, so much so that somehow holding Bryce's face against me didn't make me feel any less uncomfortable than when he growled against me before continuing his sweet torture over and over again, sending shivers down my spin.
Another loud moan left my lips and had me almost shot up in bed as Bryce suddenly plunged a thick, long finger into me, the sudden invasion had me clamping against him as I continued to shudder with the new sparks that were coursing through me now, his arm pressed around my waist as he pushed me into the bed so that he could continue doing what he wanted.
I could do nothing but release a string of moans, finally giving myself into all my senses, my toes curling as he nipped and then sucked on my cl!t, all the while slowly pumping his finger into me, almost at an agonizing pace.
I gasped as I felt the tension build inside of me, Bryce tightened his gripped and pulled me towards him, I realized I had writhed away from him in the hazy clouds of passion.
"Stay put." He mumbled against my lower lips, lazily pulling and nibbling on one before returning to the tiny bundle of nerves, slowly suckling on it, his finger now pumping almost roughly against me.
The knot inside me was beginning to tighten, almost painfully, but there was still something missing as I twisted and turned and clutched onto Bryce, moaning his name loudly again and again. He brought his hand against my stomach and with an almost lazy pace, finally reached my breast, tweaking and pulling one of the nipples, he sucked on my clit a little harder and that was all it took before the knot in me exploded, leaving me screaming, shaking against Bryce's neck as he moved back over me.
"Fuck. I need a cold shower"
My legs wrapped themselves around Bryce's hips as he made a move out of bed, I pulled him back.
"I-I could help" I breathed against him, still recovering from the earth shattering orgasm. My palm reaching to hook against his jeans waist band before slipping underneath it.
Bryce let out a groan as he quickly grasped my roaming hand, stopping me just in time as my fingers slipped against the monster, his cock throbbed at my touch and Bryce let out another strangled groan.
He pulled my hand away as he continued to lay on top of me, his face hidden in the crook of my neck.
"No. This was about you. I'll just... Take a cold shower okay?"
Again. We were back to square one again; but unlike the rest of the times I was just going to let it go this time. The last couple of days had Bryce and I quite strained and I really didn't want that anymore. If I had to let him have his way for a while, I suppose I would. I would respect his wishes and not push myself on him. I was not going to do that anymore.
"Alright," I nodded, "I'm next."
Bryce chuckled as he moved towards the edge of the bed, turning quickly he gave me a long breath taking kiss before slipping out bed and into the bathroom.
I could only blush at the memories of what had just happened floated around my brain once again. A warm smile etching itself on my lips.
I suppose it really isn't such a bad thing; this constant abduction.
***
A sleepy groan left my lips as the last few etches of sleep started to fade, feeling something slightly uncomfortable pressed up against my back I tried to move but found myself unable to. Feeling slightly disoriented I peaked an eye open as I tried to wiggle away from the thing holding me still but stilled as soon as my eyes finally adjusted to the environment around me and landed on sparkling blue eyes staring back at me.
"You should really stop doing that" Bryce mumbled groaning as he hid his face into the crook of my neck and pressed a chaste kiss there. I ran my fingers through his hair lovingly as we laid there in each other's arms.
Last night had been wonderful, in a sense that Bryce had opened up to me slightly and had actually stayed after we both had a shower. We had spent the rest of the night talking,and I ended up tell him about how Angelo transitioned and about my life back in California. I had been more than a little surprised with Bryce had in turn told me about his life back in Britain, although he did tactically manage to keep any mention of his mother away from the discussion. I didn't push him though, I suppose all would come to be known in good time. After all, we had that, we had enough time.
"I love when you do that" Bryce mumbled softly as he pulled me closer against him, tightening his arm over my stomach possessively.
"Do what?" I asked, a tiny smile splayed across my lips at how relaxed we were right now, there was no tension. No running away.
He moved his hand towards mine, as I continued to play with his hair, softly running my fingers through the thickness of his brown waves. He slowly grasped onto it, "This"
I tilted my head so that I could kiss his hair and placed a loving kiss there. "I love us not standing on thin ice"
Both Bryce and I continued to lay there just fiddling with each other's hair and clothes when suddenly the double doors of Bryce's room shot open and slammed against the strong walls with a loud bang!
"Aleexxxx I'm B-WHO THE HELL IS THAT?"
I immediately shot up from Bryce's grip and turned towards the screaming woman only to stop dead in my track. There in front of me stood a 5'9 blonde bombshell. Her shocked glaring green eyes quite apparent even from the distance we had been us.
My first thoughts were awful. Something I immediately cringed thinking about, I suppose Bryce sensed where my thoughts were trailing and he quickly pulled the covers over us, and when I tried to move away, pulled me back against him almost lazily.
"Theia, meet Amber. We went to primary school and college together. Amber, meet my mate, my girlfriend, and eventually my soon to be fiancé and wife, Theia. Now that the introduction are done, Amber, could you get your ass out of my room with the knowledge to NEVER make an entry into my room in such a manner, ever, if not at all"
I knew I was blushing beet red by then, the embarrassment and raw anger etched on the girls face quite apparent as she stood in her position, staring at us.
"B-But Alex! I though you didn't- I mean- you didn't want a mate!"
HE DIDN'T WANT A MATE?
"I was scared that I would never find one Amber, you know how rare it is for the men in my family to find their mates, it was a defense mechanism I had up, I just didn't want to feel disappointed if I didn't find my mate"
Oh...
The girl still stood there, an ugly expression quickly taking over her face. "B-but I thought you didn't-I thought you wanted me-to marry me-"
"We were Eleven for gods sakes Amber! We were kids! Barely even wolves! I don't see you as anything but my friend!"
"I-I-LEFT HIM FOR YOU! I-TH-THOUGHT WE WOULD EVENTUALLY END UP MARRIED!! I LEFT HIM FOR YOU!!"
Left who? Linguini?
Bryce moved to sit in bed now, apparently lying down was not worthy of having a serious conversation. He pulled me up with him and pulled me closer, halfway up his lap when we leaned against the headboard, I turned to look at him when my eyes widened. His golden eyes were furiously glaring at Amber.
Knowing the only thing that could calm him down I looked down at his lap before quietly climbing on it, grasping on the bedcovers as I did, so that we both would stay covered. I didn't appreciate her underlying ogling. Bryce was mine to ogle at.
I immediately his eyes on me as he relaxed. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing me harder against him. Breathing out a shaky breath before he looked back Amber. "We both know that was only out of your own selfish reasons, I have never and will never entertain the idea of being with you, he loved you and you just left him, that too for me! We all three were best friends Amber! You just don't do that! I tried to make you go back to him but you wouldn't budge. If you remember correctly, that is the reason why I told you to stay the fuck out of my life. Please remove yourself out of our room"
"SHE'S A LITTLE GIRL FOR FUCKS SAKE ALEX! SHE ISN'T WOMAN ENOUGH FOR YOU! SHE'S HUMAN!"
Bryce chucked, while I gaped open mouthed at the woman, "Well She's my human, and the Queen. So show some respect!"
"Also, I'm eighteen and mind you, that does not classify me anywhere near being a 'little kid'. And well you being 'woman enough' clearly didn't teach you not to throw yourself at someone who doesn't want you." I blurted out almost after Bryce finished.
Amber jerked forward almost as if to attack me but froze when a deadly growl sounded from behind me.
"Take one more step, and I will finish you Amber" Bryce growled viciously, and even though the anger he was suddenly feeling wasn't directed towards me, I could feel it vibrating off of him.
Amber stood staring at Bryce for a split second before turning around and rushing out of the room. I sat, muted, on an angry heaving Bryce's lap. The morning had been ruined.
"Say something" Bryce snapped as his hold tightened on me. I sighed before tilting my head towards him.
"Who is her mate?"
Bryce shook his head, "That is not my story to tell"
"Then whose is it?" I retorted back almost immediately.
"D-" Bryce stopped and turned towards me, his frown now gone and replaced with a grin. "Ah! You caught me there for a second! Must admit, that was pretty smart of you"
"That was not fair, but hey, at least I made you smile" I smiled at him softly and snuggled back into his chest.
Just then the door that been slammed shut by a fuming Amber when she was leaving, shot open once more, both Bryce and I snapped our attention towards it, although this time, a very worried Meryl marched in.
"GET OU-Oh" she blushed once her eyes landed on us. "Sorry I thought that stupid girl Amber was back to sink her paws into My little Alex. I'm glad I found you here instead. That must have gotten rid of her! Good riddance I say!"
Meryl smiled brightly she spoke, she sent a secret wink my way and a look of motherly love towards Bryce, before she turned around and made her way out, only stopping once she was at the door, "You two better come downstairs you know. It's almost Noon."
ALMOST NOON!? Oh shit Casey and Angelo!
"I have to go home! What the hell would they think when they wake up to find me missing!! Oh god what a disas-Bryce let go!" I pleaded desperately as I tried to get out of bed.
Bryce on the other hand had other plans.
Pulling me back against him, his free hand tucked underneath my shorts and then hooked his fingers around the lacy panties I had worn after bathing last night, Bryce had been quick to get me one from my room 'across the castle' ...
My breath hitched as he tugged on it, his breathing becoming heavy as he leaned in closer to press a kiss on the base of my neck.
"Is it a sin I just can't get enough of you?" Bryce groaned against my neck, his bold fingers moving further down towards my now throbbing nub, his other hand gliding slowly against my stomach and quickly cupping my breast.
"You're so wet," Bryce growled, stroking me almost in a torturous pattern, his other fingers pretty occupied with teasing my tight nipples.
A soft scream left my lips almost suddenly as Bryce plunged a finger into me, my hips began moving in rhythm to his fingers, all the while pushing against his hard length from my back.
I leaned into Bryce's shoulders as I arched my back to get some release when his lips touched mine.
"Master A-OH JESUS!"
Both Bryce and I stilled, his lips stunned, on mine. However he was quicker to collect himself as he removed his lips from mine and looked towards the outburst. I on the other hand only did so much as to hide my heated face against his chest.
"Yes Mrs. Dracous?"
"M-m-master Mya apologizes for b-bursting in! B-but Madam M-Meryl had s-said to j-just enter and-P-Prince Romanov has brought the v-visitors! I-I'm S-sorry Luna!"
"It's alright Mrs.Dracous. No harm done! We will be down in few, thank you" I silently smiled at how soft and comforting Bryce's voice sounded while he talked to Mrs. Dracous. The sounds of the doors closing softly helped me relax a bit against Bryce's finger as he plopped it out and quickly plopped it into his mouth, humming as he cleaned it off all the juices. I couldn't help but blush more.
"I suppose we should go down" Bryce asked chuckling, pressing a kiss on my temple.
I sighed as I stayed against him.
"Yes, I suppose we should"
