THE BLOOD OATH

THE SLEEPING SITUATION

ASTERA

After we walked my pack to their rooms, Maximus and I were left alone. He leads me to my room. I can feel the tension between us. A few hours ago, my only problem was that he would reject me because of the Elven girl, Inoa. Little did I know! He shows me my room as he opens the door for me.

- “Good night! We will meet tomorrow morning. Usually, lunch is at 9.” Maximus said to me, with a strange look on his face, and a curious shine in his eyes.

- “thank you! Good night!” I said to him, closing the door of my room. I leaned with my back against the door, trying to catch my breath. Being in Maximus’s company is very hard because of the mate bond. It is unusually strong, at least for me. Maybe because I am also an Alpha. But being in his presence only makes me lose my mind. Touching him is the only thing I can think of when I am with him. And when I am without him, all I can think about is how to be with him, which is crazy! I can’t stand that male! My reason refuses to accept him as my mate. Saradi, on the other hand, seems crazy about Xander, which only makes my thinking process much more difficult. She rumbles on and on about how strong he is, how good their link is. I must focus on my task. My task is to find my father. Maximus’s smell is still very strong. It is like he is still here… I wonder… as I stood up, I slowly opened the door, and I saw him on the other side of my door. When he heard the door open, he started to laugh.

- “Sorry, I do not want to be a weirdo, but I was wondering if it would be ok for you to let me sleep on your couch. Xander is acting out really strange and he urged me to ask you to let us sleep in your room.”

My eyes were wide open, I did not know what to say, or how to react.

- “Come in.” f*ck! What was I thinking? How can I sleep now, with them here, right near my bed? His smell is making me crazy. I could easily get in heat from the arousal that I feel when he is near me. What a stupid idea! We can not be in the same room!

- “You won’t even know we are here.” He said to me in his soft sexy voice, like he could hear my thoughts. “If it’s OK with you, I would like to use your shower. “ THANK YOU! I thought to myself. Maybe his smell will wear off after the shower.

- “Sure. It’s your shower, after all.” I said to him with a laugh, that being my only option. I see him starting to undress, taking his shirt off. Is he crazy? Is he trying to make me even more excited? Can he feel my arousal? Is he doing it on purpose? GODDESS! What a BODY! His chiseled abs looked delicious, his chest was strong and muscular, his arms could easily pin me down and make my will submit to his. He is absolutely gorgeous. I inhale deeply, trying to cool down.

- “Are you OK?” He said to me in his husky voice, as he approached me shirtless, with his pants exposing his perfect V-line.

- “Yes, of course!” I lied to him, as I took a few steps back. He continued to get closer and closer until our bodies almost touched. He leans over me and, with a slow movement, he removes a rebel lock from my face. I could feel a tingling sensation on my face, under the air of his finger that hovered above my cheek. I feel the almost unstoppable urge to grab him by his pants and kiss him passionately, but with great effort, I manage to control myself and I remain still.

- “There! It’s better now!” He said to me after he removed the look from my face, and headed to the shower. This was a close one! It must not be repeated! I almost jumped on him! What would be the consequences for our parents if we mated? I bet he did not think about that. He only thinks about himself! Selfish prick! This thought made me cool down. He went to the shower and I waited for him to exit so I could take a long, long bath, and even a longer sleep. After 10 minutes, he got out of the shower with his towel wrapped around his hips. I could feel my body’s temperature rising again. He dropped his towel, exposing his big and perfect c*ck, and he looked at my face, and, with a smile on his face, he got on the couch, covered his lower body with a blanket, and went to sleep. I practically ran into the shower, I took a long, long, and very cold shower, and after I cooled down, I realized that he wanted to taunt me. Well, this game could be played by two. So I decided to wrap my wet body in my sexy white silk robe, and I went into the room. I sat on my bed, took my robe off, and also went to sleep. Naked. I did cover the important parts of my body with my blanket. I could hear his heartbeats accelerating. I smiled satisfied and I fell asleep.

MAXIMUS

Xander was restless. And so was I.

- "We cannot leave, mate! We must escort her to her room!" Xander shouted at me.

- "She is not our mate! Stop calling her like that!" I shouted at him. "She does not respect me! She does not respect us! She did not even call me Alpha Maximus. Yet alone, Prince Alpha Maximus, as she should be!"

- "You cannot be THAT stupid! You cannot reject a gift from the Goddess! You know how important is to have a mate! Even more, if she is THE FATED ONE FOR US! Until all of this is solved, we must protect her! We must never leave her out of our sight!" Xander insisted.

I knew he was right! It was our sacred duty to protect our fated mate, our future Luna, so I must, at least, escort her to her room, even though she did not accept it.

- "I will show you to your rooms if you do not mind.” I said to her as I tried to look as cool as possible.

- “Thank you, but I do not want to bother you even more than I have already done...” she responded.

- “It will be my pleasure,” I insisted.

What a fake smile! It drives me crazy! How can she pretend like that? She is so.... argh!!! I do not understand how it can be possible that my mind rejects her, but my body and... even... my soul need her so badly! This bond is so difficult to bear under these circumstances! Never matter, even if I must make a great effort, I will give her a lesson for her insolence! She must be punished! We walked her back to their rooms, and finally, we got to hers.

- “Good night! We will meet tomorrow morning. Usually, breakfast is at 9,” I said to her.

- “Thank you! Good night!” she responded in a hurry as she closed the door. She was eager to get rid of me as soon as possible. I could feel it. I rested for a few minutes in front of her door, hoping that she would smell my presence and she would fall into my trap. Sooner than I expected, I heard the door opening. So she senses me! Good! My plan will work perfectly! I see her beautiful big eyes, wondering why I am still there.

- “Sorry, I do not want to be a weirdo, but I was wondering if it would be OK for you to let me sleep on your couch. Xander is acting out really strange and he urged me to ask you to let us sleep in your room.” I told her. She is now in shock. I wonder what she will do. I am trying really hard to hide my grin.

- “Come in.” she said, perplexed.

- “You won’t even know we are here. If it’s OK with you, I would like to use your shower.” I said to her. She paused for a second, and then she said “Sure. It’s your shower, after all.” and she laughed. What a magnificent laugh! Stop! stop! stop! I must stay focused on my goal. I started to undress. I can smell her arousal. My plan to drive her crazy seems to work just fine. She starts to inhale and exhale deeply. I can feel her body temperature rising. I can only hope that my small payback at her won’t get her into her heat! This wouldn’t be good.

- “Are you OK?” I said to her as relaxed as I could, trying to sound very neutral, as I approached her slowly.

- “Yes, of course!” she lied to me. I can hear her heart beating really fast. She reaches the wall, like a small little cornered pray, and I, like the big bad wolf that I am, lean in and remove a rebel lock out of her face. It’s absolutely crazy how can I feel the sparks ignite even if I am touching only the air above her cheek. I hope I can restrain myself from jumping on her, and that I will not get caught in my own trap.

- “There! It’s better now!” An almost inaudible moan escaped her full lips. This makes my d**k hard. I must run into the shower to cool down.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and I got out of the shower. There she was! She looked so innocent and vulnerable. I almost wanted to back up from my plan to taunt her. But her body temperature is starting to rise, and her heartbeat is getting faster. I cannot stop now. I can feel her eyes on my c*ck. This is my cue to drop off the towel, get on the couch and go to sleep. Her eyes looked for a second at my c*ck and she started to BLUSH!!! I did not expect a BLUSH from her. Damn! She looks so hot! She runs into the shower. I bet it’s cold water running! I can hear Xander laughing in my head. He likes it when I taunt her.

After some time, she exits the shower dressed in a sexy white robe. She put it on purpose over her wet body. She figured out that I was trying to get her horny and now this is her payback. Her body looks divine! I am hard as a rock. I am making an effort to keep Xander from doing something crazy like jump on her, mate and mark her. She got on the bed and she dropped off her robe, and naked, she got under the blanket, she turned her back at me as she caressed the blanket with one leg, exposing a small portion of her perfect hip... I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. I bet she can feel it too. I am starting to feel the urge to mate her now! I must go to sleep right now! My plan to taunt her does not seem so smart right now. "HAHAHA!" Xander laughs in my mind, approving me. SLEEP! NOW! Tomorrow everything will be different.
