Swiftly, Theo removed the rest of my clothes and his own.
He crawled onto the bed, pushing my legs apart with his knees. He brushed his fingertips along the inside of my thighs, up my legs, and to my hips. He grabbed my hips, digging his fingers into my skin. Then, he caressed his hands along my sides.
Cupping my breasts, Theo pinched my nipples between his fingers and leaned in, kissing my mouth. I tasted myself on him and a thrill shot through . I pushed my tongue into his mouth and ran it over the inside of his cheeks.
Theo grunted and pinched my nipples tighter. I gasped and threw my head back on the pillows. He tweaked and rolled the little buds around, sending shocks of pleasure straight into my silky folds.
I brought my hands to his chest, tracing the deep lines of his muscles. My fingers slid into the grooves of his abs and down the lines of his hips.
My stomach fluttered with the mory of the last ti I’d been here and I moaned needily.
“I want to feel you again... inside,” I whispered. I grasped his firm mber with my fingertips and dragged them along his shaft.
Theo groaned and closed his eyes for a mont. He kissed my lips again, his hands running down my sides and to my hips.
Before I knew what was happening, Theo grabbed my hips and flipped onto my stomach. He pulled my hair away from my neck and kissed and nipped the back of my neck and along my shoulder.
I squird around and moaned wantonly. His hands ran down my back in feather-light touches, traveling along my spine and down. He squeezed my butt cheeks, massaging them and pulling them apart.
Up my sides his fingers moved, sending tingles through my entire body. I twisted in his grasp ready to explode completely.
“You’re trying to torture , aren’t you?” I panted, my words turning to a moan when he sucked on my neck.
Theo chuckled close to my ear. “Nope, just a little prize for your jealousy,” he purred.
His heavy mber pressed against my back, nestled right against my butt. I lifted my hips and Theo gasped, his hands tightening around .
“You little vixen,” he muttered. His tongue darted out and licked the back of my ear. Theo wrapped one arm around , pressing against my breasts in a pleasurably painful embrace.
With his free hand, he lifted up and his swollen, throbbing manhood pressed against my soaking entrance.
Without any further delay, he grunted and thrusted in. I whimpered, pushing my hips back to feel more of him.
Theo’s arm tightened around like a vice.
“Don’t get greedy,” he demanded.
I groaned, just about ready to explode. Theo took his ti, sinking into one inch at a ti. My thighs clenched and he gasped against my ear.
“You feel so good, Ciana,” he whispered raggedly.
My stomach exploded in flutters at his praise. Sohow, he knew all the right things to say and do to increase my pleasure and sensation. Well, now I knew where he had learned all that...
When he was fully inside, it was like he was stretching apart in all the right ways. He stroked against my tight walls and I opened up to him.
His hips slapped against with each thrust. Moaning, I lifted my hips to et his movents.
He moved his free arm around my hips, tucking his fingers between my legs. They searched through my folds until the pad of his forefinger brushed against my heated core. I cried out, trembling as he thrust into , all the way up to the hilt of his shaft.
With his thrusts, every inch of my body tingled with pleasure. I moaned and writhed. How could anything possibly feel this good?
His quick, ragged breaths tickled my ear until he latched his mouth onto my neck, sucking my skin gently.
“Theo...” I cried out his na as he hit my spot and I arched my hips off the bed. Each thrust got closer and closer to the edge until I moaned and sobbed, squeezing my legs around his hand to maximize my pleasure.
My walls tightened around his mber and Theo grunted.
“You’re so tight... it’s... perfect,” Theo gasped against my neck. He groaned and quivered inside of as he reached his own climax.
He sighed and collapsed on top of , breathing heavily. He wrapped both his arms around tightly, like he was afraid I’d disappear. I wasn’t going anywhere, not ever again.
Slowly, he rolled off of and laid on his back. I snuggled up closer to him and rested my head on his chest, listening to his heart thrumming against my cheek. Theo rubbed my back gently, soothing away every worry or doubt that lingered in my mind.
My eyelids grew heavy and the last thing I rembered was him telling how much he loved .
And telling myself to just trust him.
***
The following few days, I barely got to see Theo as he was so busy getting settled in his new role.
However, there was very little I could do.
I loved spending ti with him, but I knew myself well enough that I couldn’t just sit there doing nothing all day. I wanted to help, but what was I supposed to do?
Looking out the window, my mind wandered. I had been away from my pack again for a couple of months now. Thomas of course would take care of the pack until my parents returned, but now that all the crises were resolved at the palace, I figured it was a good ti for to go ho.
Of course, if and when Theo needed , I’d be back. I just couldn’t allow myself to waste ti, sitting here all day, just for Theo to co back at night to give a kiss. If I couldn’t add any value to the palace, at least, I could make myself useful back ho.
Soone knocked on the door and I jumped up to see who it might be.
“Theo?” I opened the door, confused why he was already back. It had just past five in the afternoon, and the sun hadn’t set yet.
“Did you forget sothing? I could’ve grabbed it for you. Every minute of your ti counts...”
“No, I pushed off the work for the rest of the day.”
“Why?”
He grabbed my hand and left a kiss on the back of it. Then he gestured like a dieval gentleman. “Miss Black, would you join for a date?”
He smiled, and his dark eyes sparkled, like the most stunning star at night.
“Now?”
He chuckled, “Yes. Now. Let’s go!”
“Wait, I’m wearing jeans. At least let put on a dress.”
“No need. You’re beautiful in whatever you’re wearing.”
He smiled and grabbed my hand, tugging along. I had to jog a little to catch up with him.
Talk about n who had long legs...
We had never been on an official date before, and I couldn’t stop guessing where he was taking until we got to the top of a small hill outside of the palace.
When we stopped, I gasped at the beautiful scenery.
The sun was setting, painting half of the blue sky in different shades of gold, orange and red. In front of us, the silhouette of the majestic palace could be seen, with lights twinkling through its windows. Night was falling, coating the forest behind us in a mysterious cover of purple.
Not far away from where we stood was a picnic table with a white tablecloth on it. A lit candle and a vase with a rose were in the middle as a centerpiece.
“Please allow .” Theo helped get situated.
“Theo, this place is beautiful!”
Theo grinned, kissed my cheek and sat across from .
“Glad you like it.”
Then he clapped his hands once, as if on cue, and a violinist in a tailored suit appeared. He stood by our table and started playing a slow, calm, romantic lody.
Following him were three servants.
The one in the middle bowed slightly to both of us and smiled, “We have a very special al for tonight. A salad for starters with caralized figs and pogranate seeds, followed by a lovely, zesty plum kharcho soup. For your entree, we’ve prepared roast duck with black truffle cream sauce, and ricotta-stuffed zucchini blossoms. Lastly, we’ll have a rhubarb and rosewater flan for dessert.”
The other two servants stepped up and laid down our food on warm plates.
“Please enjoy.” The first servant smiled again.
I stared at them for a minute and then stared at Theo. My heart was warm, and I was stunned speechless by the gorgeous views, beautiful music and delicious aroma of food.
The music ended and the violinist along with the three servants bowed to us again, leaving alone with Theo.
Once it was just us, Theo picked up my hands, rubbing them gently with his thumbs. “I hope you like it.”
“Theo, this is... this is just gorgeous. Thank you!”
“My pleasure. Sorry that I haven’t been able to spend any ti with you lately. I’ve been missing you.”
I blushed. “We see each other every night.”
“That’s different. I wish I could be with you 24 hours a day. ”
“ too,” I sighed, “But I understand you have your responsibilities....”
Theo looked in the eye. “Ciana, I just want to make you happy, but I know sothing has been bothering you. What is it?”
Did he notice that already?
Open communication was the most important elent in a relationship, so I decided to be honest.
“Theo, I want to help. You have a million things going on and I understand there are things only you can do as a king. However, if we’re together, I want to share your burden in so way. I’m a little unhappy because I can’t be of any help to you.”
Theo arched an eyebrow, and I was confused.
“Why did you look at like that?” I asked.
“I thought...” Theo said hesitantly, as if he was worried that I’d be mad at him if he told the truth, but he let out a breath and finished his sentence. “I thought you were still upset about the other girls.”
I shrugged and admitted, “Well, that too. But I trust you.”
He froze and then broke into a chuckle, shaking his head.
“Did I say anything wrong?” I asked, getting confused.
“No... not at all. You just never stop to amaze .” He gave a doting smile. “Ciana, I don’t know how I got so lucky to have you.”
His deep, dark eyes locked on , making feel butterflies in my stomach. I was lost in his gaze for a mont before I cleared my throat. “Um...So, how are things going?”
Theo sighed, “We’re getting more and more reports of rebellion activity.”
“That’s... not good,” I muttered.
“It is manageable, don’t worry,” Theo said with confidence.
“Really? Mind sharing your plans? I’m just curious.”
He gave a mysterious smile. “It’s manageable because I have ambassadors for my court. As long as they agree that I’m the kind of king that is needed, soone just and fair, their words could help stabilize the country.”
“Ambassadors...” I thought aloud, and then it was like a light bulb switched on as the realization dawned on .
“The girls!” I exclaid, “That’s why you didn’t dismiss them all imdiately! Those are all Alphas’ daughters, and they could make useful ambassadors for the royal court, as long as you could convince them and show them that you’re a good king!”
“Exactly.” Theo smiled, seemingly proud of my thought process. “Sotis, it’s frustrating to have such a smart girlfriend. I could never keep my secrets for long.”
I blushed when he said “girlfriend”. Sweetness filled my heart, and I murmured, “Stop teasing , Your Majesty!”
“It’s not teasing if it’s true,” he claid, still smiling. “Now, let’s get our food started before it gets cold.”
“Good idea. I’m starving!”
The evening went on, and Theo caught up on a few other topics. I loved that he felt comfortable sharing his work with , even if I was just there listening.
“Alpha, I’m sorry to interrupt your night out, but we have two things to report,” Jake’s voice rang from the woods behind us. He gave a quick wave. “First, a scout has returned from checking on the rebels. He’s injured severely and wants to speak with you urgently.”
Theo’s brow furrowed and he squeezed my hands.
“And what’s the second?” Theo asked.
“Well, I’m not sure whether it’s overreacting, but I haven’t seen Warren the whole day.”
