Malia’s POV
I moaned in pleasure as he devoured my mouth.
There was nothing sweet and gentle about his kiss. His tongue explored my mouth like a starving man. I kissed him equally as greedily and held on tightly to his shoulders.
His hands went to my butt and he lifted me off the ground without breaking the kiss. My thighs automatically straddled his waist and my hands went around his neck.
I didn’t know we had even been moving until he gently laid me on his bed. He broke the kiss to take off his clothes and I moaned at the loss of contact.
My eyes hungrily roamed his naked body. Goddess! He was built like a god.
His green eyes burned with desire for me and I shivered from the intensity. I raised my hands and beckoned him to join me on the bed.
He smirked and slowly positioned himself on top of me. He did nothing but just allowed his hungry gaze to move from my face to my breasts.
My nipples hardened and tingled in response. I arched my back, offering him my breasts in silent supplication.
His eyes darkened even further and his hands moved from my sides to cup my breasts.
“I’m sorry but your clothes have to go,” he murmured.
I gasped in shock as he yanked the fragile material of my blouse and I heard its ripping sound.
“What? Do you have a problem with that?” He queried and his mouth went to one of my lace-covered nipples. The torn blouse could go to hell for all I cared.
One of his hands went under my back and he expertly unclasped my bra. The bra came off and he groaned at the sight of my naked breasts.
His hands went to the band of my yoga pants and they suffered the same fate as the blouse and my bra. I vaguely wondered how I was going to leave his room later.
Not long after I heard the ripping sounds of my lace panties, and then he slipped one finger into my wet mound. I felt my vagina muscles clench around his finger in pleasure.
He groaned at how wet I was and added another finger. His fingers moved fast and hard leaving me reeling from the pleasure and desiring something bigger and harder to replace his fingers.
He slipped his fingers out of me and I whimpered in disappointment. He chuckled and raised himself off me to stare at my naked body.
I felt shy all of a sudden and wouldn’t meet his eyes. I brought my legs together and tried to pull my knees up to my chest.
“Don’t you dare,” he growled.
I allowed my eyes to meet his and saw that they had turned red. My pussy clenched in desire.
“You’re a freaking goddess, Malia,” he murmured.
I bit my bottom lip and brought my hands to my breasts. I circled my nipples with my fingers and he growled.
I allowed one of my hands to travel to my vagina and moaned as my fingers teased my clitoris.
This time, I did see his fangs.
Before I knew it, he was on top of me and his fangs grazed my neck. My hand went to his head, urging him to sink his teeth in.
He needed no further encouragement.
I cried hard as he bit me, enjoying the combined sensation of pain and pleasure.
“Now please,” I begged, raising my hips suggestively.
He groaned and without hesitation, plunged his sword deep inside me, filling me. I reached down and cupped his buttocks, urging him even closer.
I was sure that everyone in the palace could hear my cries of pleasure. At that moment, I didn’t care.
“You feel so good,” he rasped, withdrawing and then sinking back into me in a series of thrusts.
I wrapped my legs around his hips and wound my arms around his neck, drawing his head down for a kiss.
He moved even faster and I felt my orgasm building in the pit of my belly. In one swift move, he pulled out, turned me over and took me from behind. He thrust deep inside me and my pussy clenched hard around his length. I orgasmed in a blinding rush of pleasure and seconds later, he found his release, pounding hard until he had emptied all of his seed inside of me.
He collapsed beside me, slightly breathless and wrapped his arms around me.
“Do you know how long I have wanted to do this with you?” He asked.
“Tell me,” I murmured, enjoying the feel of his hard chest against my back.
“I’ve wanted you since the first day I saw you in the forest with those bastards who had been trying to rape and kill you,” he replied and I could hear the barely concealed rage in his voice.
“Thank you for saving me,” I murmured.
“Please don’t thank me. Meeting you is the best thing that has ever happened to me.” he said and I couldn’t help the blush that crept up my cheeks.
I suddenly remembered that Ronan was after his life and I sat bolt upright.
“What?” He asked with concern, also sitting up on the bed.
“I’m worried about you. What are we going to do about your brother?” I queried.
He smirked. “You didn’t seem to be worried about my life when I was inside you,” he replied.
I smacked him on the arm. “Be serious. And besides, weren’t you the one who distracted me when I was trying to warn you?”
He brought his fingers to his chin and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.
“I don’t remember it happening that way. All I can remember is your eyes were filled with need, practically begging me to touch you.”
I gave him a look and he chuckled.
“Why aren’t you taking this as seriously as I am?” I wondered.
“It’s because I know how to handle my brother, Malia. You have nothing to worry about. I’ll deal with this. Just trust me, okay?”
I looked into his green eyes and I knew I could trust him to stay alive. I nodded and he grinned, plopping down back on the bed and pulling me with him.
“Just try to act normal around Ronan. He mustn’t know that you are aware of his plans and that you’ve told me about it.”
I nodded. “I’m good at pretending,” I said and he smirked. “We’ll see about that.”
“I’m just surprised that Lila would dare to double-cross me after showing her mercy,” Ryder said.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “You call stringing her along and pushing her aside showing mercy?” I queried.
He snorted. “She deserved it. She’s lucky I didn’t punish her and Derek severely,” he replied and my eyes widened in surprise.
“Wait. You knew that they were having an affair?” I questioned.
“Of course. I have eyes and ears all over the palace. I just chose not to punish them for old times sake,” he answered.
“Oh,” I murmured.
“And also because I’m just so kind,” he added and I scoffed.
“Indeed.”
He chuckled and was about to say something when the knock on the door interrupted.
“Go away,” Ryder called out in irritation.
“Be nice,” I berated and he scoffed.
“It’s me, James. The Gamma says it’s urgent. He’s waiting for you in the conference room,” his bodyguard said.
He groaned. “I’ll be right there.”
He then cupped my chin. “I hate to be apart from you. But if Lucien says it’s urgent, then it must really be.”
I shrugged. “I understand how busy an Alpha can be,” I said.
“Go before Lucien explodes in sheer fury.”
Ryder chuckled as he lifted himself off the bed and got dressed.
“Aren’t you going to take a bath? You reek of sex. Lucien’s not going to approve. And what if he’s with someone else?”
He grinned. “To hell with them. Trust me, this is the best smell in the whole world,” he replied and I rolled my eyes.
He bent to give me a long lingering kiss before disappearing through the door.
For a while, I just lay there, still feeling the nice tingling sensation all over my body. The aftermath of our intense lovemaking.
I sighed deeply as I thought about how Ronan’s intention to murder his own brother. And what for? Just a title.
Why hadn’t I noticed all these was that he was eyeing his brother’s position? I wondered.
He didn’t strike me as someone who loved power that much. But who was I kidding? All men craved power.
I sniffed the sheets and inhaled Ryder’s scent. I was missing him badly already. I rolled out of his bed, deciding that it was best I went to my room. If I stayed any longer, I’d be forced to go meet him in the conference room and I didn’t want to appear clingy.
It wasn’t as though he was my mate.
I had reached the door when I realized that I was naked and Ryder had torn my clothes.
I groaned in frustration and went to his closet. I grabbed the first T-shirt I could find and put it on. It fell to my knees.
“This will do,” I murmured and walked out of his room hoping that I didn’t run into anyone in the hallway.
