Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Lucian’s Confession

Eira’s POV

That was all it took. A slow swipe of his tongue along my lower lip, as if tasting the faint sweetness left behind, sent a sharp spark racing through me. My breath hitched.

Another slow stroke followed before his tongue pried my mouth open and claimed me deeper, stealing the air from my lungs and holding me captive against him.

Damn. The skill this man had was nothing like what I would expect from a robust warrior who looked like he only knew how to fuck mercilessly and walk away.

Both his hands tangled into my hair at the back of my head, supporting my tilted face. The tips of his fingers grazed my scalp gently, as if grounding the violent storm of desire raging inside him, restraining it from breaking loose. It was effortless for him to angle my face however he wanted, and strangely comforting for me to surrender to that control.

It felt so perfect that I could not help but respond. My hands slid to his sides, gripping the fabric of his T shirt to steady myself against the overwhelming force he carried.

I felt myself melting into him.

There was something about these alpha brothers. Whenever they stepped into my space, resisting them became impossible. Either they were meant for me in ways I could not understand, or my wolf was simply too horny and needy to think straight.

The faint scent of smoke mixed with something darker clung to him, wrapping around my senses like a heavy haze. Every subtle movement of his mouth sent my pulse racing faster, my wolf stirring restlessly beneath my skin.

The world narrowed to nothing but the quiet rhythm of our breathing. His lips moved against mine with patience at first, then with a growing hunger that drew me closer until breathing itself felt like a struggle.

When he finally showed me mercy, a soft gasp slipped out as his nose brushed mine. His breath was warm and uneven, his eyes shut tightly, as if he were fighting something deep within himself.

"Fuck..." he growled against my lips, the sound low and rough, as though holding back had become unbearable.

I swore I felt his wolf stirring beneath the surface, urging him toward something darker, dangerous enough to make me swallow nervously.

I had been with Kael and Roman without fear, but Lucian was different. He unsettled me in ways I could not name, leaving me wondering what he truly was beneath that controlled exterior.

His lips lingered against mine in softer brushes, as though he were calming himself through my scent. My heart pounded wildly, my breath uneven as I remained suspended between comfort and fear.

"Eira..." he whispered against my mouth, my name sounding almost like a plea.

"Hmm?"

"What Rafe said today, ignore it," he murmured, his voice low, as if it were the most urgent thing in the world at that moment.

The words pulled me back to reality. He leaned away slightly and looked straight into my eyes.

"I did kiss a guy," he admitted quietly, "but it was to protect him. It meant nothing more than that. Absolutely nothing."

I continued to observe him quietly. Alright. He did not have to explain anything to me. There was nothing wrong even if he had kissed someone, right? Then why did he look as though he had committed a sin, when he himself said it was only to protect that guy?

That made me wonder what kind of protection involved kissing.

Well, that was for him to tell if he ever wished to. From the look in his eyes, I could sense he did not want to speak about it any further.

"The only person I love is you and has always been you. The only one I want to do every wild thing I have in my mind with," he said again, his voice earnest, as if he feared I would doubt him if he did not make himself clear. "I have been in love with you since the day you came to my home for the first time. You are the only one for me, and it will remain that way until the end of my life. Do you believe me?"

I nodded.

He released a relieved breath, his face moving closer again to capture my lips. After such an honest confession, I did not push him away.

But just then the lights around us flickered on, startling me.
