The Lycan King novel Chapter 2

Nikolai

'Arrange for a dress by tomorrow morning and have the room service send in some food.' I mind linked Vladimir.

'Yes, Alpha.' He replied.

I removed my shoes and entered the bathroom and saw Ava standing straight, her hands at her sides and her head bowed down. She stiffened further when she heard me come in.

She is scared of me. And the only way to get rid of your fears is to face them.

I took her hand in mine and walked her to the shower area and turned on the shower on the warmer side??enough that it wouldn't burn her fragile skin but would warm her up quickly.

"Undress me." I told her softly. I wanted her to feel comfortable with me. Deep down, I know she is my mate. How? I don't know. But she just is.

Her hands trembled as she slowly undid my jacket buttons before pushing it off my shoulders. I helped her take it off my arms and threw it aside.

She took a shaky breath as she stepped forward and undid my tie, throwing it over my jacket.

Next, she started undoing the buttons of my shirt. Her hands fumbled as she did. She was deathly scared of what she thought was about to happen.

"Rule number one." I spoke as I stood still while she undid my buttons. "Know that I will have your best interest at heart. You have to trust me or else this won't work."

She pressed her lips together and a frown marred her forehead as she nodded and continued concentrating on undoing the buttons.

"I need your words Ava." I told her as she undid the last button.

"Yes, Master." She said softly. My dick jolted at her calling me that. But sadly, that will have to go.

She hesitated before she reached the belt buckle, undid it and pulled the belt out of the loops.

"Rule number two. You will call me by my name. Nikolai." I told her.

Her breath hitched and her lips parted in surprise. "Yes Nikolai." She said so softly that I hardly heard it, even with the enhanced hearing.

Slowly, she undid the button of my pants and pushed it down. I stepped out of them and kicked it aside. The last remaining clothing I had on was my boxer.

Her lower lip trembled as she hooked her thumbs in the elastic of the boxer by my waist.

"What was Rule number one?" I asked her.

"To know that you have my best interest at heart. And that I should trust you." She whispered.

"Good girl." I praised, causing blush to rise on her cheeks. "Go on."

Slowly, with unsure hands she pulled down my boxer. I stepped out of it and kicked it aside too.

She immediately stepped back, looking terrified of my cock. This is the first time in my entire life this has happened and I have to agree that I didn't like it.

"I'm going to bathe you. I want to remove the touch of every person who has touched you. You are only allowed to know and remember my touch." I told her so she knew what to expect. "After which, I want you to bathe me. I want you to know that I'm not going to hurt you. I want you to feel for yourself that you are safe with me. I want you to feel the strength beneath the skin and know that it will be used to protect you. Because that's what I do. I protect what time mine." This will decrease her fear.

"Yes, Nikolai." She whispered.

First I took some shampoo and washed her hair thoroughly, massaging her scalp and then rinsed it off. I could feel the tension releasing from the body as time went on. The more I touched her without inflicting any sort of pain, the more relaxed she got.

Next, I took the soap in my hands and rubbed until my hands were all soapy. I wanted to touch her, feel her. I started with her shoulders, then her hands and then her chest. I didn't let my hands linger anywhere. I washed her flat stomach, her back, her voluptuous ass, her legs, and then between her legs, drawing a beautiful gasp from her mouth.

I rinsed off the soap from my hands before I rubbed her body under water again, rinsing off the soap. Again, I didn't linger anywhere. I wanted her to know I wasn't taking advantage of her, only taking care of my mate.

"Close your eyes." I said and took the face wash, applying it on her face with gentleness I didn't know I had. I applied it on her neck too, before rinsing it off.

I was satisfied with the way I had cleaned her. I made sure to cover every square inch of her beautiful body. I washed away every single touch and every other scent from her body. She only smelled of me, soap and herself.

When she opened her eyes and looked at me, I saw a sparkle. She knew she was in good hands.

"Your turn." I told her.

With more confidence than what I had seen in her yet, she took the shampoo and stood on her toes to reach the top of my head but it's going to be impossible. She only reached my shoulders. I bent down to her level and she quickly scrubbed my hair before rinsing it off.

I stayed bent until she washed my face as well.

I finally stood upright after she was done. She took the soap and rubbed it on her hands. She placed them on my chest, cleaning it first. I stood still as she rubbed her hands all over my body, circling around me to rub my back as well. It was one of the most difficult things I've done. She fell down to her knees and then she washed my legs thoroughly.

Hesitantly, her hands touched my ass and she softly rubbed it, washing it. My dick was throbbing by this point.

After she was done, she stood up and circled me, standing in front of me.

Her eyes fell on my fully erect dick and she bit her lip.

"It's not going to hurt you." I smiled lightly, wanting to ease her fear.

I was all hot and bothered and she looked deathly afraid. And I fucking hated the thought of her being afraid of me.

"The most beautiful woman I've seen in my entire life is rubbing my body. I'll have to be crazy to not react. But that doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. Yet." I said truthfully.

She was still frozen.

"Look at me." I said when her hand was frozen mid air.

Her eyes snapped to mine.
