NALEDI’S POV
I wanted him.
I wanted Caellum.
I wanted Caellum Morello, and everything he had to offer. Watching him parade with Donna tonight did something to me. Watching him look at her like she was the price made me throw back alcohol, hoping that the burn would erase the jealousy and anger I felt.
Why the fuck did he get to me so easily? Why could I not shake him off? I decided to leave the darned dinner after the toast, not before sending a text to Korah and Marcel, shifting our meeting to later.
There was no way I could make any decisions with my current state of mind. After making sure I had nothing else to do, I went on, drinking myself to a stupor and only stopping when I was done being spoonfed the dog-shit Caellum and Donna were serving.
As though he hadn’t done enough damage, Caellum followed me. We were standing right in front of the house, and I was wondering how the fuck I got there. How the hell did I get to the point of no return with Caellum?
“I just need to know you want me as much as I want you. I just need to know that this thing between us is alive and bigger than whatever million reasons we can’t be together.” He said, “Just say the word, Naledi. Say the word and I swear I will be yours.”
My heart was beating right out of my chest. And the pull to give in increased by the second. I thought of Arturo, then Korah. I thought of Donna, then Marcel. I thought of my destroyed clan, then Caellum and the life I wanted with him.
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. But all my drunken mind wanted was him. All I wanted was to have him in any possible way. Why did I have to think so much before getting what I wanted?
Why did everything have to be so hard?
I took in a deep breath and my eyes met his, burning with desire and need. If this was a mistake, it was one I’d gladly make. Because after everything I’ve been through, and what I am still into, I fucking deserved a break.
And so help me God, I was taking it.
My response was immediate. I nearly darned leapt into Caellum’s form and covered him in a kiss. He stood still like I had caught him unaware. Like he didn’t think I’d do it. Like he didn’t think I’d choose him.
And to be honest, I didn’t believe it either. I didn’t believe I could shut off the noise and just follow my heart. Damn the consequences. And boy did it feel good. It felt so good to give in to my intrusive thoughts and desires.
It felt so good to give in to him.
Caellum soon came alive. He took over the kiss, dominating me in every sense of the word. The next minute, I was in his arms, my legs around his torso as the kiss deepened.
In minutes, we pushed through the door, into the dark house and kissed our way into the sitting room. “You drive me fucking insane.” He said and ripped open my dress.
The sound of tearing filled the air and I gasped when his lips covered my left nipple. He bit hard, sending electromagnetic signals down my core. I was suddenly more sober than I’d been all night.
The soft glow of the moon casted on us and my mark tingled, intensifying the consuming feeling I felt. Caellum got naked as he finished what was left of my breasts and headed on to explore other areas.
I was a yielded vessel, ready to take everything he gave and more. My heart was desperate, and so was my core that dripped hungrily, waiting to have a taste of what only he could give.
My hands latched on his neck, and my fangs elongated, my wolf made an appearance, taking a whooping thirty percent control of my human body. With her just at the tip of my skin, the sparkles increased, and so did the intensity of our interaction.
I nibbled on Caellum’s neck, exactly where my mark was supposed to be. I felt my wolf’s push, she wanted to mark him. That was her mission. That was her reason for making an appearance. I wanted that too.
But judging from how things went the last time I made a decision under such circumstances, I decided against it. Fighting her will, I took back ninety percent control of my body, leaving her a measly ten so she could at least participate in the action I was getting.
I shut off my thoughts when I felt him tear what was left of my lace panties. The cool air blasted my core and I welcomed the intrusive feelings that came with it.
“I love my present wrapped up,” Caellum said, kissing the environs of my core, “I love the thrill that comes with ripping it to shreds.” He licked me and I jittered with need. “But sometimes, it just gets in the way.”
His lips descended on my core and my eyes rolled back. He kissed, sucked and did a lot of other heavenly things my mind couldn’t keep up with. Three minutes in and my legs were shaking.
Just when I was ready to go over the edge, Caellum stopped, and my eyes flung open to meet his. “And most of the time, I just want to have my way with you. No hindrances, no questions asked.”
I opened my mouth to speak but I was shut up by his fingers. Caellum fucked me with his fingers, scrapping the sides and driving me crazy while at it. My brain juices dried and the next second I was flipping him over, determined to take what I wanted.
Right there on the couch, I sat on his stomach, while he held a smirk, knowing he got me right where he wanted. My heart fluttered at the beauty of him, and I moaned when I guided myself down his long girth.
My descent was slow, torturously slow and sweet. By the time I had him in, it felt like a journey, a journey to paradise. He filled me to the brim, touching my womb with his erect goodness. I loved him to pieces.
Caellum bit his lower lips and an evil glint laced his eyes as he kicked back and let me take what he had to offer. Slapping my ass every time I slowed my pace, and warming my heart with his playboy antics.
We lost track of time as he deliciously filled me over and over again, driving me to the brink of insanity. I couldn’t describe the feeling that engulfed me as I watched Caellum play with me, taking me off the ground and finishing the race in the most intense yet pleasurable way.
Right there in the living room, I knew for sure. That I was wholeheartedly and undoubtedly in love with a man I could not have. You would think that it would deter me, but I was hardly a woman who took no for an answer.
Before we fell asleep, I heard the door open but I couldn’t for the life of me bring myself to care about anything other than the sweet realisation that I wanted Caellum. And I was ready to do anything to have him.
