Chapter 30
~Kiearn-
Kieran had been holding it. He had been trying to avoid Alexia on purpose because every time they had a serious make-out session; he felt his manhood was going to explode, and it did not help, but he could not go all the way with his wife. Alexia was not ready, and he accepted that. She was still hesitant about going second base, and, for sure, going beyond that was something she was also uneasy with.
He figured the only way he could keep his pants on was to keep it light. They were back to giving just their hello and goodbye kisses. He never went beyond that. Alexia's scent was enough to provide him with a boner; what more than a kiss that lasted a minute - that involved touching her skin or feeling her beneath him?
Oh, he missed her. Kieran missed her terribly. At best, he would sneak into her room at night and watch her sleep for a few minutes, but having another intense make-out session was a big no.
Coming home from another busy day, he was surprised to find his wife still waiting for him. He smiled and felt the urge to carry her over his shoulders and devour her, but Kieran held back. He meant to wait for the time when Alexia was fully ready.
She said goodnight, but to his surprise, he did not kiss her. He had to remind her! Her actions immediately stirred his emotions.
Finally, she kissed him, but adding to his disappointment, it was only a simple peck. Had he not made himself clear about how he wanted his goodnight kiss?
He grunted and asked, "What was that? That was not right."
Kieran watched as Alexia flushed. Yet, knowing what she had done wrong, she turned her back on him and walked up the stairs. Then she challenged him. Mindlinking, she said, 'I forgot. Why don't you teach me again?' 'Fuck,' he cursed.
Kieran massaged his jaws while he felt the swell beneath his pants. Alexia's actions positively turned her on.
He looked back at Jaxon and ordered, "We'll continue with the documents tomorrow. My wife needs me."
Kieran saw his beta smirk, but he had already gotten immune to his teasing. He simply ignored Jaxon and made it to Alexia's room.
When he entered the room, Alexia was waiting on her bed. She had changed into a more revealing nightgown, making it worse for him. How was he ever going to survive that night?
"Well, what are you waiting for?" She challenged, her face turned a shade darker as the words rolled off her tongue.
There was no helping it. Kieran marched towards her and crashed his lips into hers. He put his hand behind her neck while his other arm circled her waist.
Kieran lifted her from the bed and gently laid her down. With him on top of her, he deepened the kiss. He held her legs and encouraged them around his waist. She did as he suggested.
It did not seem like his wife needed a reminder. What was the teasing all about? Did she actually miss making out with him? The thought further added to his arousal that he found himself grinding against her pelvic area. "Fuck, Alexia." When he let go, he confessed. "How am I ever going to hold back?"
He returned to kissing her, but soon enough, it was Alexia who pulled away. She frowned and asked, "Hold back?"
Kieran was chasing his breath. He stared into her honey-colored eyes when he revealed, "Last time we were at it this intense, you were afraid to continue."
He sat up and resumed, "Given what happened to you in the past, I did not want to scare you away. I." He gulped and added, "I care for you, Alexia. I don't want you fearing me."
Alexia sat up, her eyes unknowingly scanning the room. Then she fixed her gaze on Kieran, saying, "So that's why you have been avoiding me?"
"Hmmm." Keiran thrust his body down the bed, admitting, "Yes. I was afraid I might not stop myself if we did it again. I so fucking want you."
"What do I do with you, Alexia?" He groaned as he asked.
"I have never wanted a woman soContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
bad in my life think of you every day. When wake up, I want to kiss you. Before going to bed, I want to see your face. I want to hold your my arms, and when we kiss, I want more," he confessed. He covered his eyes with his forearm and cursed. "What have you done to me, Alexia?"
~Alexia~
Alexia could not believe the words that left Kieran's lips. Did he give her a full confession?
She felt like she was in a daze that she stilled on the bed. Soon, she sensed her ears burned, and she could not help but smile from ear to ear. Alexia climbed next to Kieran and pecked his cheek. She said, "I want you too, Kieran. I feel the same way about you."
She hid her face on the side of his torso and said, "But I admit, I don't know how far I can go, being intimate. We can take it slow. Is that okay?"
Kieran removed his forearm from his eyes. He reached for Alexia's face and caressed it. He said, "You are beautiful, and you are mine."
He pulled her into his chest. Alexia
could hear him smelling her profusely, like he was savoring her scent. Then, out of nowhere, he said the same fears Alexia has had all along Alexia, when you turn twenty-one, and if we are not true mates, don't leave me. Don't break the promise of our marriage. I will not bear it. Promise me."
Alexia's heart faced. She was utterly overwhelmed by what Kieran revealed. Lazily, she looked into his eyes and asked, "What if that is the case and you find your true mate? Kieran, what will become of me? Can we really go against the moon goddess and fight destiny?"
Kieran put a hand behind her neck and declared, "I will fight against fate."
