Chapter 9 - Diana
I was experiencing so many different emotions I couldn’t settle on just one.
Kaleem skillfully opened the door and carried me inside, but he didn’t put me down. We continued to devour each other like starving beasts, the taste and feel of him, his warmth and roughness while he cupped my ass cheeks, overloading my senses.
When our lips finally parted, we stared at each other.
He made the already tiny room seem smaller, but I didn’t care about that. I didn’t care that the bed would barely fit us both. What mattered was this moment as we stared at each other, and I could see him waiting for me to tell him to stop.
I wasn’t going to.
He lowered me to the ground but kept his arms around me to hold me close. When he lowered his head, I tilted my head to the side and gave him access to my throat. He licked and suckled my skin, and my fingers curled into fists, gripping his shirt.
When his teeth grazed my skin, I whimpered, and he held me behind my head to keep me in place but not too roughly.
“Say you want me,” he whispered, his heavy breath tickling my skin, and my legs grew weak. “Say it, Diana, if that’s what you want.”
“I want you,” I said, and he captured my lips again.
My hands dove under his shirt to glide over his abs up to his chest, and he lifted my top over my head.
My curls tumbled down to cover my braless breasts once he pulled the top over my head, and he released the garment to fall to the ground, his eyes pinned to my chest. We’d fooled around in the past, although it never led to sex.
I felt trapped under his steel grey gaze like a molecule being inspected by a scientist, and I didn’t dare move. A moan escaped me when he cupped my right breast and lowered his mouth to my nipple.
His mouth was so warm, and my head fell back when he reached up to comb his fingers through my hair. They traveled through my hair to the back of my neck, and Kaleem released my nipple to kiss up my chest and neck to my lips.
I’d told myself I’d be in control of this and take the lead, but my body was doing the opposite. I was relinquishing myself to him entirely, and there was no stopping it, so I pushed my pride to the side and let go.
For tonight this would be a moment just between us. The past and future didn’t matter, just tonight.
“You feel so good,” Kaleem moaned into my mouth, and my hand dipped to his pants to undo the button. “My beautiful Luna.”
I pulled back when he said that, but he only yanked me forward to taste my lips further. While I undid his pants, he did the same to mine, but I wanted to feel his body on mine. I abandoned his pants and yanked on his shirt, my elongated claws ripping the fabric.
Kaleem didn’t care. His lips continued worshipping my skin while he pulled his pants and underpants down. He’d done so quickly, but he slowed down when he held my pants to remove them.
He crouched down so he was eye level with my chest and his bright eyes took in every movement while my pants slid down my thighs and legs.
I was left in my underwear, and when he stood up, completely naked, my attention was immediately drawn to his erected member. He’d seen me undressed before, but only my breasts had been exposed while he always remained in his underpants.
Now, I was seeing everything, and neither of us spoke for a second. I simply didn’t have the words. I felt my cheeks growing hot, and my pulse spiked even further with excitement and worry.
“Hey,” Kaleem pinched my chin when I looked away. “I won’t hurt you. Are you still…”
His question trailed off, and I nodded, embarrassment giving me a moment to calm down. I looked around the tiny room that only had a bed, a chair in the corner by the window, and an old tv console with a television mounted on the wall, all to avoid Kaleem’s stare.
“Yes,” I mumbled. “I’m still a virgin.”
I swallowed audibly, and Kaleem kissed my shoulder.
My eyes closed when he pulled me into a hug, his hard cock pressed to my stomach, and I wrapped my hands around his waist to hold him. During such a passion-driven time, a moment of calm had so much meaning, and I was so sorry for how things ended between us. Our mate bond was gone, but I could feel him more than just physically. Without words or actions, standing together like this was beautiful.
I’d been young and him a young alpha trying to do the right thing. The universe was against us, but for tonight we’d take control.
I untangled myself from his arms and climbed onto the bed on my hands and knees. However, I didn’t get far because he grabbed my ankles and yanked me down. I chuckled when he climbed over me, his lips leaving a trail of hot kisses from my shoulder, down my back to my ass and thighs.
He caressed my skin and massaged my ass before gently pulling my underwear down.
