Maila’s POV
“Crazy, we are so crazy,” Lillian whispered while we looked in the bathroom mirror.
What was crazy about mating with your one and only partner? Nothing.
Actually, what seemed so crazy was how long we took. When Lillian had that horrible dream, I knew it was my chance to influence her into claiming our mate as our own, yet we still failed terribly.
“Our goal was to have his mark and mark him. How on earth did we not manage to do that when our command was above his?” I asked furiously.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered as I sighed and then smiled when our eyes went on the hickeys on our neck.
“No, don’t be. I am proud of us because we still got to feel and touch him. Now that we did establish an intimate bond with him, all you need to do is let me handle the rest,” I answered, then smiled when Lillian shut herself into our subconscious, leaving me in total control.
I brushed my hand through my wet hair and then moved my fingers to my slightly bruised lips.
“No more failing this time,” I whispered to myself. When I heard the bedroom door open, my heart picked up. I knew it was him just by his amazing scent.
After spending that crazy night, we woke up to an empty bed. It was surprising, but then again, he was an Alpha and he had his own things to handle.
When Flora came in to clean, we quickly excused ourselves to take a bath, but now that he was back, I felt nervous.
“No matter what, do not fail. Failure is never in us,” I whispered to myself silently and then walked to the door, grabbing a robe and putting it on.
When I stepped out, I was surprised to see it was Ridge in control. He was sitting at the edge of the bed with a file in his hand, looking at me.
His hair was badly ruffled, his sleeves were folded, and his first three buttons undone. He strongly smelled like whiskey and stale cigarettes.
“Morning,” he greeted huskily as I smiled and approached him.
When was the last or first time we spoke? We always gave our humans a lot of time to get to know each other and be comfortable with each other, so we never had time for ourselves. And unlike me, he was kind enough to even know and treat my human with respect and love.
Now that I was thinking back on everything, I was feeling envious because he was more bound to me, yet we shared less time.
I sat on his lap and smiled widely, surprising him. We needed our own time without anything or anyone getting in our way.
“I’d like to talk later,” I whispered softly while I moved my hands around his neck and leaned in.
He smiled for a second and then dropped the file from his hand as he crushed his lips against mine. His hands went around my waist, drawing me closer as his tongue firmly collided with mine. My breath was labored, and my chest was slowly rising and falling as the taste of cigarettes and whisky became stronger in my mouth. My body was beginning to get hot, and with each passing second, I was getting frustrated at how slowly he was teasing me, taking my tongue in and dominating it.
I shifted my hips slightly and let out a low sigh. I was beginning to get wet just from the kiss, and that was embarrassing. He slightly pulled back and kissed the corner of my lips with a low groan, which made me smirk.
Was he doing this deliberately to make me want him more? I wondered happily.
If that was the case, then I had to show him how Lillian wasn’t the only one doing crazy naughty things to Jace.
“I grabbed his face with both hands, forcing him to look into my eyes.”
“What?” He whispered huskily with a hint of irritation in his voice.
“I love knowing that you are finally looking at me, not only Lillian,” I whispered back as a grin appeared on his face.
He had this sexy, dazed expression on his face.
“I will always look at you for as long as you want,” came his playful response, and then he crushed his lips against mine again as I kissed him back. I began to slowly rock my hips back and forth, loving the strong friction I was feeling between my legs.
He pulled back in a split second and stood up with me in his arms.
I was shocked by his sudden movement but held my breath to see his next move.
When he sat back down with me still on his lap and my back towards him, I frowned. A soft gasp escaped my lips when he grabbed the robe, tearing it from my body.
I tensed and then relaxed when his warm lips pressed against my shoulder.
A tingling sensation went around my body as I closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of him. He nibbled slowly on a certain spot, then kissed his way up to the side of my neck as I shifted slightly on his lap, making him wrap his arms around me to keep me in one spot.
“Stop,” came his command, which made me smirk.
By now, he was supposed to know how Lillian and I were different. She listened to him well, while I chose to rebel.
I shifted again, then took in a sharp breath when his cold hand slid to my breast, grabbing a handful roughly and squeezing it as I instantly moaned loudly.
I was loving the little pain he was inflicting on me.
“You too love being in command, don’t you?” He asked deeply.
“A little,” I answered and regretted it.
He stood up with me and this time threw me roughly on the bed while he wasted no time in taking off his clothes. I widened my eyes, refusing to look away from the godly figure in front of me.
When he got on the bed, my heart picked up. He grabbed my knees and parted them as I widened my eyes.
“Just relax, I know what I’m doing,” he said, then dropped his hands and leaned in.
“Oh my goddess,” I whispered when I felt his finger trail on my thighs and then his lips followed, kissing my inner thighs, turning me on as he slowly made his way to my clit, slowly rubbing there with his thumb before his soft tongue began sucking and gently licking up and down in a slow, stimulating motion. I closed my eyes and threw my head back, moaning shamelessly. My breath was hot, and my body relaxed the harder his tongue pressed on me.
“Ngh,… ah,” I screamed out when his two fingers penetrated me. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as an overwhelming feeling to cum began to build up.
