The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517: UNDER THE MOONLIGHT (2)

Darling,

Kiss me like you need

To feel safe

Because my lips want to know

All the places

You have been hurt

So, they can make all the pain drift away.

I was lying beside you

And you had this half smile

Because my hands

Were drifting down your spine.

And you looked at me

And I lost track of everything

Because I realized

Just how badly

I want under your skin.

*** Pillow Thoughts; Courtney Peppernell ***

"I want you, Iris, will you give yourself to me?"

The words reverberated in her ears and echoed in her heart. Above them, the moon hid behind the clouds, as if it too got shy hearing the bold declaration of the Alpha.

He wanted her, he wanted his mate.

He took her away from the pack house, so they wouldn’t be bothered by anything or anyone and for tonight, only the two of them would matter.

Iris felt her heart thump wildly in her ears. She was sure Cane must be able to hear that, too, but his eyes, the way he looked at her, captivated all of her senses and she couldn’t think of anything else right now.

This was not the first time for them, but surely enough, if Iris just agreed, this would be the first time they would be doing it with her consent.

Even with everything that was going on around them and all the things that went so wrong with the plans or how the capital city was being burned down in the flames of war, as they chased after power and fame, right here and right now, it was only the two of them.

Iris knew this time would come, she had been preparing herself for this moment and they were so close to do the deed before everything went south, but right now, with this genuine gesture from Cane and seeing how thoughtful he was being, she felt so overwhelmed, she could feel how specially he treated her or how considerate he was for wanting to make this moment meaningful for her too.

Cane didn’t just want to have sex with her and satisfy their sexual needs, he wanted to go deeper than that. He wanted her to be naked and bare with him. He wanted this to be a moment they could remember for the years to come, where they would have a little bit of hope whenever they felt life was too difficult and hard on them, that even for once, they had a moment where they only cared for one another. They had each other.

"I didn’t bring you here for you to agree to my request, Iris, this is not a demand..." Cane barely finished his words when Iris pulled him close to her and kissed his lips, and this time, he accommodated her by bending down his tall body.

"I want it," Iris said timidly, the bright moon and the night sky reflected in her blue eyes. Her cheeks turned crimson as her slightly parted lips trembled.

"Afraid?" Cane asked, caressing her cheek. She could feel how rough his palm was against her skin, but she liked it nonetheless.

Iris shook her head, but pressed her lips into a thin line. Her eyes showed her determination, but her voice turned into a whisper when she spoke again. "But... I don’t know what to do..."

Iris could say that she did nothing during their previous intimate moments, as she only cried and screamed at Cane in those moments and aside from that, she didn’t have any experience or reference.

Now that they were really going to do it and Cane let her know beforehand, Iris became a little bit self conscious.

"Just follow your instinct, Iris. You did pretty well before..." Cane whispered into her ear, as he combed her hair with his fingers and let her curls cascade down her back after he pulled her hair tie.

Iris bit her lip when she heard that, Cane’s voice was so close to her ear and she loved the way his warm breath skimmed her skin.

"Like when we were in the bathroom?" Iris asked, as she felt Cane pull the strings behind her dress and the fabric loosened up around her body.

"You should keep the dagger with you," Cane said, as he leaned over and kissed her bare shoulder. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
