The First Heat
“Please...” I begged, pushing all the embarrassment that was causing my decision to crumble. “Take me if you must. Mark me if you want to help me.”
My mate gazed at me with burning eyes before he looked away, obviously conquered by restraint. “We are inside the comfort room, it’s inappropriate to mark you here.”
“There’s no inappropriate place once two mates are in heat. Besides, I can’t go out having all the mateless men smelling my strong pheromones. I can even get worse than stripping naked and almost getting humiliated on social media,” I pointed out, my voice growing desperate and impatient.
The unnamed Alpha sucked in an air before breathing out gently. He just looked at me as if he was calculating the consequences, placing his hands on his hips, and didn't say a word. Until we heard a knock from the outside and an approaching footstep towards the comfort room.
I panicked and covered my naked body but the Alpha was fast enough to stride towards the door and covered his body with my naked one.
“Sir, we need to go. They are waiting for you at the ball,” the man, probably one of his butlers, reminded him after staying in the comfort room for almost half an hour now.
“Let them wait.” The man glanced at me before craning his neck back at the door. “Stay on a post outside. Don’t step inside and don’t let anyone in.”
“But Sir, the ball will start in five minutes,” the butler reminded him, which made him rake a hand at his hair. “The Alpha requires your immediate presence now.”
I watched him take a deep sigh. I am not mistaken when I thought that he was a close acquaintance of the Alpha. The moment he stepped inside the comfort room, I already figured that he was capable and privileged. One can certainly see it in the way he stood, the way he uttered his words, and the way he handled himself nimbly but with the right impact. He possessed the qualities of the Alpha, like intelligence, eloquence, and astuteness when he successfully drove off my bullies and saved me from almost being sullied in society's name by posting my naked body after being stripped off by force.
Looking at him, I couldn't help but question the Moon Goddess as to why she would fate me to a man that was beyond my reach. Not that I’m complaining about it. I never was and would never dare. It's just I have been asking my whole life to be graced by a fortunate blessing. Now, the Moon Goddess had answered my prayers and dropped this man like an apple from the tree, arrived on time for my rescue, yet I'm all naked, dress was torn and now in heat that must be marked as soon as possible to subside by this flaring feeling, otherwise, mateless men would be drawn into me, worst was I can be harassed for it when spurned.
“The ball wouldn't start without me, so let them wait. They don't have a choice but to wait,” he persisted and locked the door.
Using his finger, the man caressed his lips before gazing back at me. This time, the hesitation of his eyes faded as he looked into me ardently. The way he caressed his eyes on my naked body didn't escape from my sight, especially when his eyes landed on the thing between my thighs. However, it only made my body even more susceptible, dying to be touched and seeking the pleasure that I never desired before.
“Are you sure about this?” he asked, his breathing became uneven, which made me mirror the tenor of his breathing when I suddenly felt the pressure of the expected hot summit.
“Y-Yes...” I answered before looking up at him with fluttering eyes, full of crude anticipation after my inclination.
I have been holding it inside me since the moment I found out that he was my mat, and it's killing me that I can't control the burning passion in my body, unless I surrender, otherwise, I would only punish myself if I would fight the urge. My wolf had suddenly taken over my body and it wasn't wavering until I'd give her what she wanted.
The man extended his hand and helped me to stand. Breathing heavily still, he towered over me using his height. I couldn't look him in the eye so I looked down. But he raised my chin using his index finger, indicating that I must meet his gaze.
And when I did, my lips parted and even parted more when my eyes dropped to his lips. For an unknown reason, my curiosity kicked in me, wondering how it felt when those red lips grazed on mine and what he would taste like when we shared a kiss.
With this man awakening my desire, I never knew that I had crudeness in mine that was only kept and now wanted to release.
“Once I marked you, there’s no turning back,” he cautioned quietly but loud enough for me to hear and propelled my body in flames.
It was obviously a warning but my wolf and I took it as a luscious notion that we are willing to attain and rather face the consequences.
“I know.” I looked at his tantalizing gray eyes and I nearly squirmed with the pressure of it. “And I am pretty much certain.”
“Say your consent,” he said, his hot breath fanning my face which only measured my almost running-down patience.
“Take me. As your mate, I am willing to be claimed and marked,” I declared and then closed my eyes when he captured my lips.
There was something inside me that bloomed all of a sudden when he finally quashed my curiosity by grazing his soft lips on mine and sliding his tongue inside. Wet, warm, and wanton taste had exploded in my mouth at the same time and measure that I found myself moaning against his lips, loving every stroke he did to mine until I was clinging to him, pressing my naked body against him.
I heard him moan in return and his hands flew to my back, caressing it in a sensual manner until he grabbed my bottom and lifted me to only placed me above the vanity sink.
Suddenly, he pulled out from the kiss and I found myself chasing his lips eagerly. With heavy breaths, I looked at him with pleading eyes to not stop and just keep going. He smirked at me before he traced his tongue on his lower lip and spread my legs apart. He settled in between my legs and finally cut our distance. But then he eluded my kiss by lowering his head.
By the time I wanted to pull him to satisfy my lips, he offered my neck a searing kiss instead until his pointed nose traced the outline of my breast before bringing one of my sensitive n*****s to his mouth, and then teasing it with the swirl of his tongue.
I gasped and arched my back in bliss. I had never been in an intimate relationship before, but I heard from my workmates who had been claimed and marked that being teased and suckled was supposed to be satisfying. Now, I realize that it was an understatement.
It wasn't just satisfying because it was relishing. And I couldn't get enough of it when he teased my other peak by pinching it using the tip of his finger.
I squirmed and moaned while a satisfied smile smeared on my lips. Oh, Goddess! If this is what marking felt like, I should have located this man three years ago and let him mark me, for it was divine and definitely addicting. His lips and tongue were experts, knowing exactly where to move and tease and lick.
His kisses went down and I threw my back, moan was caught in my throat when he breathed on the apex of my wet core. It was as if our eyes had the same mind when we both looked at each other's eyes in synchrony.
He was wearing a wicked grin before his lips found their destination. I had to clutch his hair for support when I lost all my senses the moment his tongue grazed on my sensitivity. I couldn't help but bite my lips, suppressing my loud moan when I realized that it was far more different than teasing my peaks. This time, my eyes rolled back and my hips jerked in ecstasy.
The pleasure was too much for me to fathom. I was oblivious to how the marking can awaken anyone's desire and lust.
“Oh...” I moaned before my hand flew up to my mouth when I remembered that I could be heard from the outside. I tilted my head side to side as I stifled a moan, but my whimpers totally escaped my mouth.
The fact that I couldn't moan his name because he hadn't introduced himself to me was frustrating but then astonishing at the same time. All I know right now is he was my mate, almost away from marking me successfully, and what he was doing to me was so good.
He licked, he sucked, he lapped, he kissed. He did all that a man can do to pleasure a woman just by the use of his mouth and tongue. Until my womb started to tighten. When he even picked up his pace on teasing my c******s, I let out a loud moan and I released it in his mouth. I thought he was going to pull it out but he licked me clean.
My cheeks stained red after watching him savor my juices by swallowing them in front of me. The heat that I felt never subsided but it lessened and faded the strong pheromones I am producing.
He stood up and looked at me before fixing my hair in a gentle approach, yet his reaction was far from his gesture since he was looking at me mischievously.
He leaned closer to me and breathed into my neck. “I hope you’re okay now because I’m going to do more once the ball is finished. You have to take responsibility as my mate. You did this to me.”
When he motioned his hand below, my eyes dropped to the bulge under his pants. My eyes widened and I heard his sexy chuckle.
“Don’t worry, it’ll fit.”
