“Alpha.” Jace and Elriam say in unison bowing deeply to him.
“Lumina? Who’s Lumina?” Jace whispers to Elriam as she frowns and shrugs.
“Speak,” Deimos commands, his eyes never leaving me. His nose flares as he inhales my scent. Yet he controls his instincts with clenched fists. His wanting to protect comes first.
“The water will keep her body from heating up too much and you being by her side shall help as well. But the best solution is to mat-.” Jace says as Deimos cuts him off.
“No,” Deimos says as he slowly scans my body checking for external injuries I might have caused myself.
“But Alpha, it is the best-.” Elriam tries to convey her message as Deimos turns around swiftly, facing her and snarls loudly angry with her disregard of his order.
I flinch to the sound echoing within the walls of the bathroom and sob louder as if I were an afraid pup.
He quickly faces me rushing towards the tub, kneeling. Holding my face softly in his palms he wipes my tears with his thumb. “Did I scare you, mate? I am sorry.” He says gently kissing my forehead.
“I shall handle it from here. Thank you for your help.” Deimos says as Jace and Elriam look at me concerned before they bow and leave.
“Hi.” He says.
“H-Hi,” I reply trying my best to smile.
His eyes scan my body once more. “You must be cold and I read once the touch of the mate helps.” He says talking to himself.
He removes his clothes quickly and gets into the freezing water naked. As he sits and adjusts himself behind me, he slowly guides me so that my back leans upon his front.
“Lift your hands.” He says as I slowly lift them with all the energy I have left. Deimos removes my shirt and my other clothing until I wear none.
The second our skin touches the flames reduce their wrath and I am finally at peace. Deimos presses my body tightly into his as his fingertips slide across my skin soothing the pain.
“Better?” He asks.
“Y-Yes.” I sigh leaning my head back into the nape of his neck. Deimos kisses my hair softly.
As the silence envelopes us and my mind rests I finally come to my senses. I reposition myself to a more comfortable position and Deimos grunts gripping my hips tightly.
“Stop moving, Lumina.” He whispers in my ear, his voice deep and husky.
I feel his cock straining against my back, hard and in need. He must be feeling the same pain as I am right now. The scent of a female in heat calls out to every male within proximity, especially her mate.
“Deimos, you know I don’t really mind. You can take me if you wish.” I say closing my eyes tightly awaiting his response.
Deimos doesn’t answer me right away but does after taking a deep breath. “Tell me, would you like me to fuck you or make love to you?” He asks as I turn my head back to look at him.
He sits behind me elbows placed at the edge of each side of the tub. His eyes watch me with such intensity that my core clenches and begins to ache. I stare at him from his wet strands of hair to the droplets of water rolling down his pecks towards his abs.
It’s such a hot sight to see. No female can ignore this especially a female in need. I bite my lower lip softly taking pleasure in the view as Deimos softly removes my lower lip from the tight hold of my teeth.
“I asked you a question, Lumina.” He says as I look back at him.
“B-both,” I say looking away as my cheeks begin to burn. I hear Deimos take another deep breath and watch his fists shake tightly clenched. I think I should remain quiet if I don’t want to be taken right here and now because I for sure know he would if I keep irking him.
“Right now my thoughts are…. quite filthy. I don’t want to have you this way. Our first time, I want to feel you both body and soul. And when I have done that-.” Deimos stops as his lips touch the nape of my neck and he bites pulling the skin softly with his teeth.
“I will have my fill every night exactly like these filthy thoughts.” He finishes as he breathes into my ear and I gasp. “Do you understand, mate?” He asks as I nod quickly. “I need words.” He continues.
“Y-Yes. I understand.” I say and he chuckles in response.
“How are you feeling now?” He asks softly. But before I could answer my head begins to feel heavy and my eyes feel droopy as they open and close.
“I don’t feel good,” I say as the room begins to spin.
“I know, mate. It shall pass.” Deimos replies gently.
“No I really don’t feel good, the room’s spinni-” Is all I manage to say.
“What? What’s wrong? Lumina!” I hear the panic in his voice but it sounds far away.
“Deimos.” Is the last word I whisper as my eyes shut and I am brought back into darkness.
My body feels hot again. But what’s different is it isn’t the scorching flames I feel but extreme need. I feel sticky and sweaty and the uncomfortable feeling of it wakes me up. As I open my eyes I see Deimos sleeping soundly next to me holding my hand.
The curtains are open as the moonlight pours in illuminating the bedroom. I begin to breathe loudly through my mouth as my core clenches harshly. My inner thighs are wet and my fluid flows down my legs. This is the next stage of the heat.
“D-Deimos,” I whisper as tears form in my eyes. It’s becoming painful again. His eyes shoot open as he scans my body.
