Their Hidden Princess (Zora) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

“And what makes you think I’m not a High Alpha just as you are?” I cut him off. I cocked my head slightly, as far as his fingers would let me. “You saw what I did today. You can’t deny I’m as powerful as you, if not more.”

Kairos growled once more before dropping my chin and walking over to his bed. He sat down and threw his head in his hands, his fingers pulling at the tawny hair on his head.

“You’re not good for me,” he grumbled. “You’ll distract me from what I need to do. From my duty as a Moonraiser.”

I crossed the room and sat down on my knees in front of him. I wrapped my hands around his wrists and shook my head as I pulled them from his hair. “I won’t,” I assured. “I’ll help. I promise.”

“You’ll distract me,” Kairos repeated. “The other two will do something stupid and you’ll play the martyr and try and save them. That’ll force me to go after you.”

“You really think they’re that reckless?” I asked.

Kairos paused for a moment then sat up. He shrugged. “Maybe not Lunerly,” he said. “But Wolfham is a fucking idiot-”

“Okay, okay,” I cut him off, pulling him down so his face was closer to mine.

His eyes seemed to have blown out as our breaths mingled in the sliver of space between us. I took a risk as I brought my hand up to cup his cheek. He naturally leaned into it. His deep gold eyes were locked on mine as he did. The freckles inside them mirrored the ones on his chest.

“Caring for someone is not weakness,” I said slowly. “The inability to open yourself to it, is.”

Kairos’s eyebrows pinched together, his gaze still locked on mine. I took a deep breath before I spoke again.

“The hardest thing someone can do,” I continued. “Is to open themselves to someone else. Especially when they’ve been closed up their entire lives. When you finally allow someone to creep in, you think it ruins everything. You think it’s the cause of all your pain. The truth of the matter is, it’s just bringing to the surface the pain you’ve already had. Once you get through that, it’s just sheer bliss.”

Kairos blinked slowly. His hand came up to cover mine with his own. The whole time, his gaze never left mine. Then, his took a deep breath and glanced down at my lips.

“I really want to kiss you,” he whispered.

“So do it,” I murmured back.

Slowly, gently, he pushed forwards and captured my lips in his own. He held us there as the fire inside both of us roared to life. Once it became unbearable, he slanted his mouth over mine and brought his hands to my waist. He pulled me flush to his chest and he continued to explore my mouth with a slow, burning pace.

His hands slipped lower and dug into my ass and I pulled back slightly. Kairos groaned but let me go. He pushed his forehead into mine as we both caught our breath.

“I want you,” he whispered.

“Then you have to have all of me,” I said back. “Maximus and Valentin included.”

Kairos huffed. He sat back on his bed. One of his hands came down to smooth the side of my hair. I nuzzled into it before he dropped it. He stood and helped me to my feet, making sure to press our bodies together one last time before he led me out.
