Alpha Ricardo’s POV
Three days later…
I woke up to the smell of an enticing aroma. Filled with curiosity, I left the bed, washed my face in the sink and made my way to the kitchen, where Mia stood with her back turned to me. With a smile, I leaned against the wall and took a quick glance at her. She was wearing a short, sleeveless crop top, looking incredibly sexy. All I wanted was to wrap my hands around her waist, but I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.
“How long will you keep standing there, staring?” she asked, still not looking my way.
With a chuckle , I approached her and planted a kiss on the back of her neck. “Good morning,” I greeted, inhaling her captivating smell.
“Morning, Alpha Ricardo,” she replied, and I frowned. “Ricardo, call me Ricardo,” I grumbled, and she shyly smiled. “You know it will take a while for me to actually do that,” she said, and I nodded, fully understanding her.
“What is my queen doing?” I asked, and she smiled before answering, “Making the best omelette in the world.” I chuckled and placed another kiss on her cheek, causing her to blush.
“Go freshen up; I’ll be done by then,” she said, and I nodded, placing another kiss on her forehead before leaving.
Returning to my room, I took a warm bath and dressed up. As I stared at myself in the mirror, worry crept in. Today was the full moon, and that meant Mia might be entering her heat period. “And why are you scared about it?” Eric asked. I sighed before responding, “What if she isn’t ready for such a thing?” I grumbled. Eric reassured me, saying, “You don’t have to worry about a thing; everything will fall into place.” With a sigh, I took a deep breath and left my room.
Reaching the table, I saw that the meal was already prepared. “You came at the right time,” she said, and I smiled before taking a seat.
I served myself a portion, took a spoonful, and chewed slowly. “Tastes nice,” I blurted, and she blushed shyly, looking away.
We continued eating but kept stealing glances at each other until we finished.
“Thank you,” I said, standing up to clear the table, but she stopped me. “I’ll do it,” she insisted. I tried to protest, but she insisted once again. “You are Alpha Ricardo; don’t you forget that,” she smiled, taking the plates from me.
With a smile, I watched her and wondered if this was all real.
“So, where are we going today?” she asked while washing the dishes. “It’s a surprise,” I replied, and she groaned playfully, eliciting a soft chuckle from me.
After washing the dishes, we got dressed and got into the car. Mia kept asking me where we were headed, but I didn’t reveal it until we arrived at a beach where a festival was taking place.
“Wow,” she exclaimed happily as we stepped out of the car. “You never told me we were coming to a festival,” she poked, and I smiled, leading her.
The place was filled with people dressed in traditional attire, exuding a vibrant cultural atmosphere. “Let’s go over there and check out the clothes,” I suggested, pointing to a small stall with a variety of traditional wear. I chose a red flowery shirt and white shorts, while Mia opted for a red skirt and a white off-shoulder dress.
We both changed in the restroom, came out and met each other dressed.
“The attire suits you.” She spoke while I smiled and placed a peck on her lips. “You look amazingly beautiful.” I praised and saw her blush. “Let’s have fun.” She giggled while I smiled, and we joined in the festival.
We ate, drank, and watched numerous displays of different cultures until it was dark, but we weren’t bored or tired.
“I’ll go get us a drink.” I told Mia, who nodded her head, while I placed a kiss on her lips before leaving.
I got the drinks, and while going back to Mia, I looked up at the sky and realized the full moon was out. With uneasiness, I walked further and noticed Mia enjoying the display of cultural dance. “You are back so quickly.” She spoke, and I nodded before handing the drink to her. “Is everything okay?” She asked, and I nodded, pondering how I would explain to her that she might be in her heat period at any moment.
I watched her smile joyfully at the display and wondered if she had ever been in heat and how she endured it.
With a heavy sigh, I wiped away all those worries from my mind, and focused on the display, but suddenly, an alluring scent hit me, causing Eric to growl.
I moved my gaze to Mia and saw that she was sweating profusely and was damn uncomfortable. I watched her gulp a large quantity of her drink and slowly close her eyes.
“Are you okay?” I asked, and she quickly shook her head with her eyes still closed.
“Let’s leave.” I spoke and led her away but noticed she sniffed my clothes and rested her head on my chest. “Mine!” Eric howled loudly, and again, her alluring scent hit my nose.
“I think something is wrong with me?” She spoke through gritted teeth, and by her words, I realized this was her first heat.
“I feel so uncomfortable.” She mumbled as we got to the car, but I realized the journey might take long, so I carried her in my arms and teleported away.
We arrived at the cottage, and I made her lay on the bed, but she pulled me by the collar of my shirt. “Please stay with me.” She pleaded and tightly hugged me, sniffing my scent in the process.
“You smell so good.” She moaned, still sniffing my scent.
“What do I do?” I asked Eric and he gave me the only response he could give, a howl of satisfaction.
“Damn it!” I groaned and lay beside her, placing her head on my chest and pulling her to my side.
“Ricardo?” She called my name in a whisper.
“I’m here.” I responded and placed a kiss on her forehead, inhaling the fascinating scent coming from her.
“Am I on my heat?” She asked audibly, and I hummed, placing another kiss on her forehead.
I heard her moan and pull me even closer, “Then why aren’t you making an attempt to touch me? Don’t you find me appealing?” She asked, hurt, and I quickly lifted her head to hold my gaze. Her eyes were slightly shut, and she was doing her best to keep them open. “Babe, look at me.” I pleaded and she slowly opened her eyes, tears clouded in them.
“I find you appealing. In fact, you are the most appealing woman I have ever come across, and you don’t know the torture I go through just not being able to touch you.” I spoke truthfully.
“I’m scared, scared that you might not be ready for things like that. I don’t want to do anything that might offend you, and besides, I’m not in a hurry because you are my wife and mate, and I love you so much,” I spoke while holding her gaze and saw her flash me a weak smile before leaning towards my left ear.
“I want you,” she mumbled, sending a series of cold shivers down my spine. “Please make love to me and make me feel like a woman,” she pleaded, and with a satisfied groan, I held her tightly and teleported her to my room, back in California.
I pulled away from her, left the bed, and stood before her. “Are you sure about this?” I asked, and she nodded, biting her lower lip.
Holding her gaze, I began unbuttoning my shirt and saw her stare lustfully at me as I unzipped my pants and pulled them off, leaving me in just my underwear.
I went back to the bed and lowered myself above her. “I will be careful,” I promised and sealed my lips with hers.
