Zara’s POV
“Someone seems very happy this morning,” Levi teased as I sat for breakfast. He was holding his piece of toast in his hand and had already served him some food. “It appears that the storm washed away all of your sorrows.”
I laughed and took a seat at the table, grabbing a slice of bread and piling some bacon and eggs onto my plate.
Levi narrowed his eyes as he attempted to read me.
“You seem different this morning,” he went on. “Something has changed. I simply cannot put my finger on it.”
Levi placed his toast back down on his plate, sat back, and watched me for a moment.
I felt uneasy about his stare, embarrassed to the point where my face flushed.
Could he figure out my little secret?
Can I keep this secret hidden for long?
“I am not sure what you are talking about,” I said, reaching for the strawberry jam jar.
While I carefully smeared some jam onto my toast, Levi bit his lip and observed me.
“I believe you do,” he remarked, and I unintentionally turned to look at him.
Was he looking right through me?
“I take it that you and Alpha Nicolas had a kiss and marked up?” He asked.
We did more than just that. I nodded and swiftly returned my attention to my plate, attempting to conceal the flush that was starting to appear on my cheeks. Well, it was an interesting night, and Nic had no problem with nudity at all.
Last night, the storm had grown more severe. I was unable to brave the weather and make it back to the packhouse due to the intense lightning and thunder.
The river had also fallen, making it unsafe to cross.
Memories of Nic standing nude between my legs in the kitchen flashed through my mind; he had questioned me.
“Here?” My voice trailed off in surprise as I asked.
“You sound surprised,” he stated. “Don’t you want to?”
“I do,” I answered. “But-”
“Oh,” he remarked, stepping back. “You are not ready?”
“No, no, no, that is not it at all.” Grabbing his hands, I attempted to stop him and drew him back toward me.
How do I confess to Nic that I am a virgin?
This was so freaking embarrassing.
“Is there a problem?” he questioned, furrowing his brows.
“Nic,” I uttered slowly as my heart began to race out of my chest. “I am a virgin. I have never previously engaged in sexual activity, except for…”
“When I touch you?” His voice trailed off as he asked.
With a burning face, I nodded.
“I see,” he said, a small smile playing on the corners of his lips. “Then it would be best if we waited until you were ready.”
That sort of disappointed me. I desired to touch and feel him. Was it so wrong of me?
“Okay.” I gnawed on my lip as I replied. “Whenever you feel that I am ready.”
Nic’s eyes darkened; did he read between the lines?
“Well, since we cannot leave the cave until the weather settles,” Nic remarked as he helped me from the kitchen counter. “We need to get settled in.”
Feeling disappointed by the turn of events, I nodded nonetheless.
“Cheer up, girl. At least you can have some alone time with Nic,” Kaya remarked. “This is your chance to get to know him.”
“You are right, Kaya,” I answered. “I’ll do that.” And perhaps even manage to get a good kiss out of him…
With a sigh, I went out of the kitchen to get the kettle, while Nic got another mug off the shelf and put some hot chocolate in it.
“Thanks,” he said, taking the kettle from me and filling the mugs with boiling water.
“Would you like some marshmallows?” he asked.
Marshmallows? Do we have marshmallows?
“Yes, please,” I replied, looking at him in shock.
When did we get marshmallows?
“Do you recall that Levi mentioned he filled the cabinets?” Kaya chirped. “He must have also added marshmallows to the container.”
Nic chuckled and opened the jar standing next to the hot chocolate. I didn’t even notice it standing there.
“Two? Three? Four?” He looked up and asked.
“Well, as many as you could fit inside the mug,” was my response.
Nic looked at me for a moment, as though he were taking in the information. He will quickly discover that my preference is for chewy, sweet foods.
“So, marshmallows are your thing?” Playfully, he inquired.
“No,” I replied. “I adore them. Particularly the small white ones.”
“Noted,” he grinned and turned to give me my drink.
When I saw Nic’s manhood, I was so shocked by his size that my eyes almost flew out of my sockets!
“Oh, goddess!” I exclaimed as I looked up at the cave’s ceiling.
Nic was standing beside me in his birthday suit, and I had completely forgotten about that.
“Did you like what you saw?” Nic questioned in jest.
I nodded, closing my eyes.
I liked everything I had just seen, and I could tell by the way my body wanted to touch and feel it.
“I wonder how big it will be when it is erected,” Kaya said.
“Really, Kaya?” I groaned. “Is that all you have time to think about?”
“Of course not, girl,” she answered, rolling her eyes at me. “There are moments when I wonder how deep he can go, or I consider all the different ways he could f*ck us.”
“Oh, Goddess, save me now!” I muttered aloud.
“You realize that every square inch of my body is yours?” Nic turned his head to the side and remarked. “You do not have to be reserved. Feel free to examine me closely and even touch me.”
A nervous giggle escaped my lips.
Nic’s heat was radiating around me, and I could feel him move in closer. His warm, minty breath was near my ear.
With a deep, seductive voice, he whispered, “Do you want to touch me? I desire you to touch me. I desire you to taste me.”
The day Levi caught us shifted in my mind. I was disappointed that I was unable to touch or taste Nic, and now I was finally getting my chance.
“Zara, open your eyes,” Kaya commanded. “I want to lust after the flawless body of my mate.”
“I think we should-”
“Do you want to taste me?” Nic asked, his warm breath making me shiver. “You still-”
I cut him off and gave in to my needs with a nod.
Nic took the mug from me and set it carefully on the counter before picking me up and holding me around his waist.
As he carried me into the living room, my eyes snapped open. A smile spread across his face.
While carrying me, Nic made a bed by pulling the few blankets together.
After putting me down, he turned around and gave me my hot chocolate.
Seeing my disappointed expression, Nic laughed.
“All in good time,” he remarked as he sat down beside me. “First, you must overcome your shyness.”
“So, we will not be doing it?” I asked cautiously.
Nic adjusted his posture and shook his head.
“No,” he replied, throwing open his arms. He wanted me to curl up and lie next to him.
Nic put his arms around me as I drew nearer, and he leaned in closer to my neck and whispered, “I want it to happen naturally. I want you to feel comfortable, not pushed. I will not pressure you or make you feel like you have to do it, but if it does happen tonight, then so be it.”
After Nic planted a kiss on my cheek, I felt comfortable, and sleep quickly followed.
When I awoke at four this morning, Nic was still there; he was lying beside me, cradling me against his chest.
I moved in closer, tucking my body into his stony chest, only to feel something hard against my ass.
I squinted, putting my hand between the object and me to push it aside.
“Oh,” I said, my eyes wide as I realized what I had just touched. He was pressing his thick, long, and hardened cock against my ass.
Nic’s laughter startled me into wakefulness. I guess my response amused him.
“He is just happy to see you,” he whispered in my ear.
“Is that so?” I turned around and asked.
“Yeah,” he replied. “You are the most attractive mate he has ever had.”
I gently eased Nic onto his back and took off the blanket.
Nic gave me a curious look.
I traced the outline of his cock with my fingertips. Feeling the wetness on the tip.
It was music to my ears when Nic groaned. I was hoping for more moaning from him.
I clamped my fingers around his shaft, forcing it downward.
Nic gasped.
“Zara, what are you doing?” he groaned.
“I am playing,” I answered. “Do you like it?”
“A lot!” he whispered, nodding his head.
I sat forward after doing the same thing once more and hearing Nic groan.
I was tempted to taste the moisture on his cock’s head. I felt drawn to taste him.
Nic hissed when I licked the top of his cock.
“Zara,” he groaned. “You are making me go crazy.”
I began to pump his shaft up and down.
After doing that a few times, I developed an interest in putting his entire shaft in my mouth.
“Zara,” Nic’s eyes widened as I began to suck on him and shoved his entire cock inside my mouth. When he thrust his upper body too far down my throat, I gagged.
“Are you alright?” he inquired, worried.
“I am okay,” I answered, wiping my lips, pleased. “I wanted to try, but you are just so big.”
“Are you sure you want to continue?” he asked.
“Yes,” I replied, taking hold of his shaft and pressing it downward.
After hearing Nic’s groans and moans, I became extremely aroused and wanted Nic to mark me…
