Chapter 243: Just One Taste

*****************

Chapter 243

~Ash’s POV~

Before Valerie could do or say anything, I crashed my lips against hers, sliding my hand around her waist and pulling her flush against me.

Valerie gasped—just for a moment—but didn’t pull away.

Not immediately.

Her hands pressed against my chest, half-hearted at first, like her body hadn’t decided if it wanted to resist or melt.

And when I deepened the kiss, she made a soft noise—surprised, breathless—and it lit something in me.

It wasn’t just the kiss.

It was the way her body betrayed her—leaning closer, chasing the heat she kept pretending she didn’t want.

The way her fingers curled into my shirt like she needed something to hold on to—the way the mate bond pulsed and flared between us like a heartbeat.

When I pulled back, her lips were parted, eyes wide with confusion—and something else.

Longing.

Then Ace was there behind her, brushing her hair aside to kiss her neck.

His lips barely grazed her skin, but her breath hitched again, and she turned, only for him to catch her mouth in a kiss of his own, slow and coaxing.

I watched her freeze at first, then shudder as he deepened it. Her hands moved again—reaching for balance or maybe trying to push him away—but they landed against his chest and stayed there.

When he pulled back, her voice was hoarse. "This isn’t—this wasn’t supposed to be... It was supposed to be... we came here for..."

"More than a physics project?" I asked, raising a brow.

Ace chuckled softly. "You’ve kissed your other mates. Made out with them. We’ve been very, very patient, Moonlove."

"We just want what they’ve had," I added, brushing my knuckles against her jaw. "A kiss. A taste of you, Val. All of you."

Valerie shook her head, eyes darting between us. "I don’t know why it feels like this... It’s too much. Too fast, Ash and my body—gods, it’s heating up."

"The mate bond’s getting worse," I said gently. "You’ve held back too long. It’s not just us who feel it anymore, you do, and so do the others."

Ace stepped closer again, his hands running lightly over her arms. "And the more you resist, the harder it’ll get. You’re already burning, aren’t you?"

She hesitated... and nodded once. Barely.

Her breath was shaky now, shallow, like she was fighting to hold herself together.

"We’re not here to force you," I said quietly, pulling her body against mine while brushing her hair from her face. "But let us help. One release. That’s all. Let it out and let the bond breathe."

Valerie didn’t speak.

She just stood there, trapped between us, trembling, her heartbeat thudding in the space between us.

I reached for the top button of her uniform blouse, slowly and carefully waiting for her to stop me, but she didn’t. "If you say stop, I will."

Valerie didn’t say stop; she didn’t look like she wanted it to end.

I did not think it was pity or that she felt guilty that she had not given us that time of day or it was something else triggering her arousal, but standing right here between us, with a heat that you know we were eager to quench...

So I unfastened the first button.
