Faye's POV
I heard the door of my room open but I pretended to be asleep. From the scent, I knew it was Rex. Despite everything that had happened between us, I still loved his scent.
His scent was one thing that pulled him to me when I first met him. His face was another and the way he carried himself with authority.
I felt the bed dip under his weight but I still pretended to be asleep. My back was to him so he couldn't see my face.
I wanted him to go and leave me alone. I knew that he wasn't there to apologize. All our years of marriage, not once had Rex apologized for anything. Even when he was wrong, he simply moved on to the next thing without addressing what had previously happened.
"Are you asleep?" Rex asked placing a hand gently on my arm.
"Yes. Go away Rex," I said simply in a low and controlled voice.
"I am sorry babe," Rex said and I was out of bed in a flash. I quickly put a distance between us looking at him.
Babe? I am sorry? All in one sentence coming from Rex? I quickly found the switch and flooded the room with light to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating. I was staring at him like he was the third wonder.
"What did you say, Rex?" I asked. He indeed called me 'babe' in the first three weeks of our marriage but then he stopped and just called me by my name. He went as far as calling me Luna when there were others there.
"I said I am sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that because of Veda. I know that I hurt your feelings. This is indeed your home and I should respect that," Rex said looking at me solemnly.
"Rex, have you been drinking or are you here to kill me?" I asked because I didn't believe one word of what he had said.
"No, I have not been drinking and I am definitely not here to kill you. You are my Luna. Why will I want to kill you?" Rex asked standing from the bed to stand in front of me. I moved back a step and he quickly grabbed both my arms.
"I am confused Rex. You have never apologized to me since we got married and you stopped calling me babe. You're doing both this night is so confusing," I said looking at his eyes intently, waiting for him to laugh in my face and say it was all a prank.
"Don't be confused babe. I mean every word," Rex said with a small smile. Looking at him like that, I decided to ask him the question that has been bothering my mind.
"Veda was your ex right?" I asked.
"We were high school sweethearts and we attended the same university. We were dating until I had to return home. We were popular but then I had to get married to you and take my seat as the Alpha of the pack," Rex explained without shutting me out.
"So I took her place?" I asked while I kept my eyes locked with his to make sure I read all his reactions and expressions, but he didn't even flinch.
"You took no one's place babe. You are in your rightful place," Rex said then before I could say anything else, he kissed me.
I wanted to hate his touch. I wanted to stop him but my body betrayed me. I loved Rex and that was even an understatement.
I grew up loving him. My mum made sure she filled my head with the fantasy of him. She never failed to tell me about him and his achievements and how he couldn't wait to get married to me.
My feelings for him escalated when I met him. Maybe I would have stopped loving him after we met the first time because of how cold he was but then he started sending me texts, pictures of himself on different occasions, sweet morning messages and when he finally returned for our marriage, he was all smiles and sunshine.
He left my mouth and kissed my neck. I shivered as I rubbed my legs together to ease the pressure between them.
Rex took me to the bed and gently removed my clothes. I was a moaning mess in his hands by the time his mouth made its way from my neck to my stomach.
Rex was full of surprises that night, first the pet name then the apology followed by the sweet lovemaking.
Never had Rex touched me like that. Not even in our first weeks of marriage. It felt like worship. He touched me with a tenderness that portrayed that he was scared to hurt me. It was like a reference. His eyes were tightly shut as he worked my body like his PlayStation. I was so lost in the feeling.
I was a virgin when we got married and I had never experienced what he was doing to me. It made my heart beat so fast and a feeling of being in a fast racing car overwhelmed me.
I had tears in my eyes as he gently parted my legs and buried his head between them. I riled up almost jumping out of bed but he held me firmly with his hands on my lap. I buried my hand in his hair and thoroughly enjoyed the gesture.
I screamed in ecstasy as I fell into the biggest o****m ever. He raised his head with his eyes still closed and moved over my body. He was inside me in one slow and long thrust. He held back a little then began to thrust. Slow at first then it began to get faster.
I looked up at him hoping he would open his eyes so he could see what he was doing to me but he didn't. The feeling of another coming o****m made me close my eyes too.
I couldn't stop the moan that worked its way up my chest as I came and trembled under him.
His thrust became faster and I knew he was about to reach the peak too. Seconds later he came undone then whispered a name that made my blood run cold.
"Veda," Rex whispered twice and I went still under him.
I looked at his eyes to see that they were still tightly shut. He made love to me with Veda on his mind?
I pushed him away and ran into the bathroom. I should have known that it was too good to be true!
