Kai
I’ve been staring at the girl sleeping beside me for the past two hours or more, I’m not sure. Lyra is curled up against my side, breathing softly. I stay completely still, not wanting to do anything that might wake her up…
She is so beautiful when she sleeps. Her long, silver hair is splayed all around the pillow, framing her fare and making her look like the ethereal goddess that she is. I reach out my fingers, hovering just an inch above her face before I hesitate. There is a slight star on her forehead. Even though the would healed, the scar will always be a harsh reminder of the night she hit her head when she was attacked by those damn demons.
Looking at it makes my chest tighten with a familiar, suffocating protectiveness. I want to kill those bastards for touching her. For hitting her head to the point she lost some of her memories. I want to protect her from the whole world, from anyone that would ever dare to hurt her, myself included.
Last night was completely perfect. Even though I didn’t fuck her yet, I feel incredibly happy and Satisfied. Just holding her like this, knowing she chose to come to me, is more than I ever expected after the mess I made of our past.
As she shifts slightly, pulling the blanket higher, the movement exposes the side of her neck. My eyes narrow when I notice a dark mark on her skin. It looks like a hickey, but it runs much deeper, the skin slightly broken at the edges.
The sight of it suddenly makes me remember the moment I bit her in the middle of the right. Well, Vlad did.
Hours after she fell asleep, she had stirred in my arms, whimpering from some faint remnant of her nightmare. She opened her eyes, completely dazed, and pulled me down for a sleepy kiss. The feel of her mouth on mine completely threw me over the edge. I kissed her senseless right then, mapping every inch of her soft body with my hands. I slipped my fingers into her panties and made her cum twice in a row with my fingers, listening to her panting and gasping against my chest. She even begged me to fuck her. But I didn’t do it. I stopped myself because I knew she was completely sleepy, barely conscious enough to know what she was asking for.
And then there’s the part about her memories.
Even though she assured me last night that this is what she wants, the constant fear is eating me alive. The thought that she might hate me if she gets back her memories is a phantom that follows me everywhere. What if she remembers the old me, the brute who humiliated her and treated her like a servant, and realizes she can’t stand the sight of me? I wouldn’t survive it if I lose her now. I just wouldn’t. So I need to make absolutely sure she is one hundred percen in it before we go all the way. Because when I finally put my cock in her sweet pussy, nothing will be able to stop me from marking her. I will claim her completely, body and soul, and there will be no turning back.
Vlad had almost taken over and marked her right there while she was coming. Thankfully, I managed to fight my beast back and stop him. That is the reason why she only has a hickey bite on her neck instead of a permanent, bleeding mate-bond mark. This beast of mine will cause problems for me very soon.
‘Oh please, You’re just a coward,’ Vlad’s voice suddenly echoes inside my mind, his growl vibrating through my skull. She is our mate. We need to mark her immediately! Why do you keep waiting? Claim what is ours!’
“Shut up, Vlad,” I snap back mentally, clenching my jaw as I stare at Lyra’s peaceful face. “It’s not yet time. She is not fully ready. If we mark her now while she’s confused, she will feel trapped. She has to consent to the marking, or else she would hate us both. And that is the last thing I want.”
Vlad lets out a low growl of frustration, but he finally stays quiet, retreating back into the dark corners of my mind.
