Chapter 12: Teasing

Lotus’ Pov

I was standing on the balcony of my room. It's past midnight, and I am unable to sleep. After returning from Damien’s office, the only thing I did was cry. Why did he do that? Why did he reject me? He always chooses Cersei over me. I never paid any attention to everyday facts. He used to hold her, kiss her, and whatnot. I heard Cersei telling others how much fun she had with Damien. I tolerated everything. I never utter a word. But today, it was extreme for me to take. I fought for his pack. I made sure everyone was safe. Even every pack member acknowledged me as their Luna. But he made it clear today that I am not. He made it clear that our marriage means nothing to him. All those hugs and kisses I received were just part of a play. Obviously, he likes to take different girls to his bed. He was just playing with me. He is so heartless. He doesn’t want me. He rejected me in front of the pack and accepted Cersei. He was holding her so close.

My wolf was restless in pain. It felt like a part of my heart had been torn apart. My head was so heavy. I was so exhausted but still couldn’t sleep. I wanted to run away from this pack.

‘He will never accept us’, I said to my wolf.

‘I felt so heartbroken, Lo. Why does he have that much effect on us? He is not even our mate,’ she cried out in pain.

‘I want to run away from here, I said to her.

‘But I don’t want to go away from him, Lo. I can’t even think about it,' she replied.

Why is this so complicated? Why am I being dragged towards him? Our relationship has no acceptance in his eyes. I am feeling so weak.  I decided to take another bath to calm myself. I went to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with hot water, and sat on that. I did not know for how long I had been sitting there. My skin became wrinkly.

I came out of the tub. I noticed that I forgot to take my clothes. I sighed. Well, I am all alone. I dried myself with a towel and wrapped it around my body. I came out of my bathroom and closed the door. Suddenly I smelt mints and rain. I was frozen. The smell was so strong in my room. I looked towards the entrance, and it was close. I was relieved. Then I turned in the direction from where the smell was coming. I saw him sitting reluctantly on my bed!

He was here in my room! He was not wearing any shirt. I did not know my heart skipped how many beats. His collarbones were perfect. His chest and belly were curved in eight packs. I have felt them before but through his shirt. It felt like some great artist gave his all to carve his body. He was so perfect. His dirty blond hair was dishevelled. His smell was so overwhelming. The Greek god was sitting on my bed.

“Are you done checking me out?” Damien said suddenly. Oh god! Not again! I got caught again for staring at him. I was so embarrassed. I am sure my cheeks are red by now. I heard him chuckle.

“Close your mouth, Kitten”, he said again. What? Was my mouth open? This was not happening. I would not be able to show him my face again. He chuckled again and stood up.

“You know, it's fine to stare at your husband. I am all yours to see, Kitten.”, he said huskily. He started to walk towards me. Finally, I came back to reality. He is in my room. It's past midnight.

I started to step back, “what are you doing here? How did you get in?” I asked in a very soft tone.

“What do you mean what am I doing? It's my house. You are my wife. I can come here any time I want.” He smiled like a devil. He was coming closer to me as a lion walked towards its prey. I keep stepping back until I hit the wall.

He came closer and put a hand on the wall on the side of my head. I tried to move on my side, but he caged me, placing another hand on the side of my waist. His smell overwhelmed me. Then I noticed his eyes. They were pitch-black. His wolf was in control!

He bent a little. His face was closer to mine. I can feel his warm breath.

“Oh, Kitten, your smell is so intoxicating. You are a drug to me.”, he said in a husky voice, inhaling my smell again and again like there was no tomorrow. I stood there like a statue. My heart was racing. My wolf was crying for his touch.

“You have no idea what you do to me, kitten. And now you are wearing this. How can I control it?”

What does he mean? Oh no! I am still only wrapped up in a towel. And I am caged by my husband! Well, that does not sound bad except that my husband is an asshole. He prefers his sluts over me, he will never acknowledge me as his wife, and he is not my mate. Great!

He started to rub his nose on my neck. I felt tinkles on my skin. Then he began to place sloppy kisses on my neck and my shoulder. He found my soft spot behind my ears on my neck and started to lick that spot continuously.

I bite my lower lip to hold back any noise. He held me by my waist and pulled me closer to him. He started to suck my sweet spot, and one of his hands began to travel towards my exposed thigh. I gasped, and a moan escaped my mouth. He licked that spot. He bit it playfully. Then he started to place kisses again on my neck. I felt thousands of butterflies inside my stomach.

He moved his head towards my face. He rubbed his nose with mine playfully. I can smell his breath. He is so tempting. He chuckled again. He started to hover his lips over mine without touching them. I began to follow his movements. I wanted to feel his lips. My wolf was getting frustrated. Now he is holding me on my waist. He placed another hand on my chin and looked into my eyes. “Now you want that, don’t you?” he said with a smile.

“Damien”, I said in a pleading voice.

“But you said you are going to leave me! Why should I let you kiss me?” He said with a devil smile on his lips.

“Please…” I said again. His fingers are moving on my waist, making circles. I felt so warm inside. I tried to grab his head with one of my hands while holding the towel with another one. I tried to reach his lips, but he held my hand behind my back.

“Not so fast, kitten”, he smiled again. I can feel his minty breath on my nose. Why does he smell so good? “First, say that you will never leave! Say it, Kitten.”

I wanted him. I wanted him so much. My body wants his touch. My wolf wants him more. Still, I could not say what he asked. I know he will never accept me. I know there will be a day when he will be mated with another wolf. I know I have to leave someday.

Suddenly he pressed my body against the wall and held my thigh tight, and squeezed it. He kissed my soft spot again.

“Come on, kitten, say it!” he whispered. “Say that you will never leave.”

He is just teasing me. He started to hover his lips again over mine. I couldn’t hold back anymore.

“I will never leave….” I whispered, and his lips crushed into mine. They moved in sync. He suddenly pulled away from my towel. I was naked! I gasp, and his tongue enters my mouth. He devoured every inch of my mouth. I tried to cover my breast with my hand, but he grabbed both my hands and pinned them against the wall on top of my head. He pressed his bare body with mine. I felt his manhood through his pants on my stomach. I can feel the heat on my core. His hand is now on my naked waistline. He is making circles on my waist. I can feel sparks all over my body. My wolf was purring in my head with joy.

“You are aroused, kitten. Did I just turn you on?” He whispered into my ear. I was so embarrassed. He teased me. My body responded. And now this; I am naked. He grabbed my hip suddenly and squeezed it. I grasp.

“Let go of me!” I said. He chuckled. He started to kiss me again. His fingers travelled towards my inner thigh. He touched my clit, caressed it and suddenly put one finger inside me. I moaned. He is amazing.

“Oh, kitten! You are so wet!” he said huskily. He put another finger inside.

“Damien”, I moaned again. He pulled away from his fingers and licked it seductively.

“Oh, Kitten! You taste so damn good”, his forehead was resting on mine. His eyes were closed. He was holding me gently on my waist. I put my hand on his chest to pull away. He opened his eyes. They were deep blue.

“Look what have you done to me, kitten! I want to take you here, right away.” he chuckled. “It’s too bad you are a minor.” He pulled me closer again and hugged me.

“Grow up quickly, kitten, for me. Will you?” he whispered into my ears. Is that the reason he is holding back? That I am a minor? Is this why he doesn’t want to be with me so that he doesn’t hurt me?

“I need to leave Kitten. If I stay longer, I will not be able to control myself.”, he whispered again and pulled away. I looked into his eyes again. He gave me a soft smile. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and said, “Don’t ever talk about leaving me again. Even if you leave, I will hunt you down and lock you up in my room for the rest of your life.”  He bit my nose one last time softly. Then he left, closing the door behind him.

I stood at the same position for I do not know how long. He came. He held me. He teased me. He turned me on. He saw me naked. He held himself back because I am a minor! He asked me not to leave. He threatened me, at last, to lock me up.

‘Lo, he wants us to stay, no matter what!’ my wolf said to me.

‘I don’t understand why.’, I replied.

‘Lo, do you think he could be our mate?’ my wolf suggested.

‘Our mate? But how can it be? We are from ancient moon packs, remember? We always find our mates there only.’, I said to her.

‘You are right, Lotus. Besides the fact, an alpha cannot hold back after finding his mate. Take Jakob, for example.’, my wolf sighed.

I have never felt the way I felt today. I went to the bathroom and took another quick shower to calm myself. I wore some comfortable clothes and went to bed. It was almost three in the morning. I closed my eyes. I really need to sleep. It's been a very long day indeed.
