The Lost Fae

Chapter 9

Kathrine’s POV

I was awoken by the sun shining through the windows. I turned started to turn around to face away from the sun, when I felt a pair of arms tighten around me. I instantly froze. As soon as I registered the tingling sensation from contact of his arms, I relaxed. It was just Alex. No others touch had ever made my skin dance with delight.

I turned around to face Alex and a smile made it’s way to my face. I don’t know why I was so happy to wake up next to him, but I honestly didn’t care why. I just knew that I wanted to soak up all of this happiness and never let go. I wanted this forever, never to end.

I reached out and traced his face with my fingertips and I used my hand to feel his stubble on his face. Then my fingers came to his lips, and I softly grazed over them. I couldn’t help the pull I felt, the feeling of wanting his lips on mine. I leaned forward and gently brushed my lips against his when I felt a rumble through his body before responding to my kiss.

I started to pull back, startled that I had been caught kissing him while he was asleep, but Alex pulled my lips back to his. I relaxed and kisses him back as his tongue swept over my lips, seeking entrance into my mouth. I couldn’t stop the moan of pleasure that escaped my mouth if I wanted to. Then our kiss turned more passionate.

My hands found there way to his back as I felt his muscles. When I heard Alex moan, I felt a feeling come over me that I have never felt before. I wanted him to touch me in places, that before, I had been disgusted by. My body craved his touch, and I instinctively put my leg over his lower body to bring my body completely flush with his. Just then, Alex gently broke the kiss and pulled away.

“Did I do something wrong?” I asked him, feeling hurt that he pulled away. I felt my eyes brim with tears before they cascaded down my face.

“No baby, never.” He said as he pulled me to his bare chest to comfort me.

“You are my mate, my body is yours. I am just trying to keep myself from loosing control with you. You drive me mad with just the way you smell and your touch. Add kissing and putting your entire body against mine, and I felt like my control was about to slip. Trust me baby, I want you in every possible way, but I want you to be comfortable in our relationship first before we complete the mating bond.” He said sincerely.

“Its just I have never felt anything but disgust and sick when anyone else touched or kissed me before. Now, when you touch or kiss me, I feel safe and loved. I feel like I never want your touch to stop. I crave it.” I said into his chest.

“I don’t want to stop touching you either. I just afford to loose control with you. Not until your ready.” He said gently.

“Okay.” I said softly. I leaned up and looked at Alex’s face and smiled.

“Do you want to eat here, or in the dining hall?” Alex asked me as he reached out and rubbed the back of his hand on my cheek, causing me to blush.

“Um, which would you prefer?” I asked him.

“How about this, we can go down and make our plates together, then you can decide whether you want to bring our food up here, or eat down there?” He asked me and I nodded.

“Okay lets get changed and head down stairs. The left side of the dresser has your clothes in it, same with the closet. Do you want to change in the bathroom or the bedroom?” He asked.

“I took a shower last night, do you need to take one?” I asked him.

“I do, but I wanted to give you first choice.” He said.

“Go ahead and take a shower and I will get dressed in here.” I said.

“Sounds like a plan, baby.” He said as he leaned forward to touch my lips to his. It was just a small peck, but that alone was enough to send electricity down my spin and give me goosebumps. He then got up from the bed pulling me with him. Brushing my hair away from my neck, he leaned down and trailed his nose along my neck, inhaling deeply.

“Alex?” I asked him, but it came out breathless.

“Yes Angel?” he said as he placed small kisses in the sensitive spot where my neck meets my shoulder. At that moment my knees buckled and I would have fallen to the floor had his arm not been around me, holding me up. He then picked me up bridal style and laid me on the bed.

Alex was going to step away from me, but with what little strength I did have, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him towards me. Not expecting my sudden movement, he lost balance and fell right on top of me.

“Hey!” he exclaimed with a laugh.

“Shh, just kiss me.” I said boldly. I had no idea where my confidence had come from, but I wasn’t going to question it now.

Without hesitation, Alex leaned down and pressed his soft lips to mine. I sighed at the contact opened my mouth to invite him in. His tongue darted into my mouth and before I knew what was happening, my lower body was grinding into his as we both moaned softly. Then Alex abruptly pulled his lips and body from mine as he held his weight off my body.

“Baby, as much as I would absolutely love to make love to you right now, I think it’s better to wait.” Alex said as breathing heavily.

“I’m sorry.” I said in a soft voice as I looked away from his gorgeous face.

“Don’t apologize for wanting me. You can seduce me anytime you want.” Alex said as he winked at me. I instantly blushed and covered my face with my hands.

“My beautiful mate, don’t hide your face from me. I like to see you blush.” He said with a smirk and chuckled.

“I don’t mean to seduce you.” I said in a timid voice.

“I know, that just makes it better.” He said teasingly before he leaned down and placed a small lingering kiss to my lips. He then stood up from the bed and offered his hand to mine to help me up. I took it and he hoisted me up.

“Alright Angel, I’m going to take a quick shower then I will take you down for breakfast.” He said as he kissed my forehead before turning to walk to the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, I decided to see what clothes Alex had bought for me. I went to the closet and opened the door. As soon as I saw the clothes I gasped. Never in my life had I even imagined that clothes like this existed. All the dresses were something not even my imagination could conjure up. I looked through the clothes and I felt panicked. What am I suppose to wear!

I decided to see what was in the dresser drawers and they looked a lot more casual, but just as classy as the dresses in the closet. What would be expected of me to wear to breakfast? I don’t know the customs here.

My worry increased as I heard the shower water turn off. I haven’t even picked clothes yet! I hurriedly looked through all the clothes again, but then the door opened. I looked towards the door and Alex was standing there with water droplets dripping from his hair and onto his bare chest. As my eyes traveled down further, I noticed he was only wearing a towel that hung low on his hips.

“I would apologize for not being prepared and taking clothes with me to the bathroom, but since you don’t seem to mind the view, I see there is no need to.” Alex chuckled. I quickly blushed and peeled my eyes away from his attractive body.

“Um, your fine. I just have no idea what is appropriate to wear for breakfast. So that’s why I’m not dressed yet.” I said stumbling over my words, trying to keep myself sane.

“Let me help.” He said as he headed towards the closet. After looking at all the dress choices, he picked out a black long sleeve dress that was floor length with slit up the side and had a small amount of white beading on the front.

“You will look beautiful in this, Angel.” He said handing me the dress.

“Thank you, Alex.” I said to him giving him a small smile.

“Your welcome. In case you hadn’t noticed, behind your clothes is your shoes.”

“I hadn’t noticed, thank you.” I said to him sincerely.

“I will grab my clothes and change in the bathroom.” He said as he went to his dresser and pulled out jeans, t-shirt, and boxers and headed towards the bathroom.

I went to the closet and pick out a pair of black flats, then stripped from my clothes to put my dress on. I put on the dress, but I noticed I couldn’t reach the zipper in the back to zip it up. How in the world does anyone do this? I then heard a knock on the bathroom door.

“Baby, are you dressed?” I heard Alex ask me from the other side of the bathroom door.

“Umm, kind of? I am have issues with this zipper.” I said to him. I heard him open the bathroom door and stride across the room and stood behind me.

Alex bent his head down in the crook of my neck and kissed my neck as he slowly zipped up my dress. Then he wrapped his arms around me from behind and pulled me against his chest. I heard a rumble from his chest and I shivered in response.

“You are so beautiful, Kathrine.” He said in between kisses on my neck. After a few moments he pulled away and then grasped my hand.

“Are you ready?” he asked me. I hadn’t regained composure from his kisses yet, so I just nodded. He then led me to the door to head downstairs to breakfast.
