Ariana's pov
"Breath, Breath. .." I whispered to myself, standing in front of Will's chambers, my hands shaking at my sides. I didn't even know why I was here in the first place, just that I needed to talk to him about something.
I finally pick up the courage as I try to knock on the gold-encrusted doors, my hands coming to a halt mid-air before they even reach the door. My mind raced with its inability to stop thinking about Will, making me take another deep breath. I tried knocking on the door again, only to fail again.
I can't help but let out a huff of frustration before I think better of it and decide to leave. It was late anyway. He was probably asleep.
I turn to leave when I hear the two doors open, making my head instantly swivel in their direction at the sound they make. Between the opened doors stood Will, his eyes slightly hooded. He was wearing a thin white linen shirt that hugged his torso, making the ripples of his arms seem more pronounced than before. I swallow hard, looking away.
Oh no! I should have never come. This is not going to end well. I could already feel the horrible tingles erupting in the pit of my stomach at seeing him. It always seemed to happen whenever I saw him, my lower regions turning into mush whenever I saw him. May it be in an empty hallway or a dining room, the desire to touch him amplified with just one look of his.
"What are you doing here?" He asks in a gruff voice as he tilts his head to the side with his arms folded against his chest while leaning against the wall.
"No-nothing, I..I just came for a walk when I decided to get a drink of water from the kitchens but seemingly got lost on my way there." I lie under his intense stare. Watching as his jaw clenches and unclenches as if catching my lie. He doesn't react with anything else, his posture still stiff against the wall.
I looked out the window as if trying to judge the time even though I was trying to get away from the intensity of his eyes, which always made me feel naked underneath them.
"It's getting late," I say while meeting his heated gaze, which causes my heart to beat faster," I should head back to my chambers."
"Yes... you should." Comes Will's husky voice, making me shift on my feet with unease as the tingles in my belly worsened. I nod in agreement before walking down the hall in the opposite direction.
Just as I reach the end of the hall where I have to take a left turn to my chambers, I hear him say," Let me escort you,"
I turn my neck to see him in my peripheral vision while walking down the hall. I said, "No y..."
The rest of the sentence doesn't escape my mouth as I crash into a wall, my forehead striking against the cold marble as I let out a small cry of surprise. I hear a chuckle resonate from the other side of the hallway. My cheeks heat up with embarrassment. Oh Goddess, why was I so stupid?
I rub my forehead in a circular motion as I turn around, only to crash into something else, making me gasp out loud in surprise. I look up to see Will staring down at me with a smirk playing on his face.
"Wh-how? " I ask in confusion, not understanding how he got so close without me noticing him. I take a step back, needing the space.
He doesn't reply, just letting out a small hmm as his eyes darken, we blink in unison. It's a small act, the blink, lasting less than a second, but it changes everything. When I open my eyes, we are no longer in the darkly lit halls but in a chamber with a large bed in the center. The walls are all encrusted with the Royal seal.
"What...how did we get here?" I ask, baffled, feeling perplexed as I look around, not understanding how I got here in the first place.
"Somehow, " came Will's voice, an evil smirk on his face as he stepped forward, making me step back till I felt the back of my knees brushing against the bed. I look up at him with more confusion than before which he notices as he says, "You don't have to worry about that. I thought you said you wanted some water."
I nod in agreement, too discombobulated to form words, my throat drying at his proximity.
He walks away from me to the nightstand near the bed, picking up a jug holding water. He pours into a glass before walking towards me and pressing it against my lips. My eyes never leave his as he does so.
"Drink," he says, a single command causing me to open my mouth to let the cold water through, the refreshing liquid relieving my throat of its dryness.
"Good girl," he says, taking the glass from my lips. While he wipes the water droplets left on my lips, causing the butterflies in my stomach to jump with renewed energy, my heart drumming against my ribcage as he leans in and whispers, " Know why where you here?"
His eyes hold mine, making it harder to breathe, his words falling onto deaf ears, his peacock eyes reading every thought in my head while his only showed a single unreadable emotion.
"I....I....I," I stuttered, making a fool of myself, embarrassed at the truth, "I..I came to see you."
My skin burns with unforeseeable emotion at the proclamation, which in turn causes his smirk to widen, "So you admit you lied?"
"No, "I shake my head in disagreement, which causes him to raise a questioning brow as he steps forward. My knees choose that very moment to give out beneath me as I fall onto the bed.
"Oh?" His eyes hold the same dangerous glint as before. I nod vigorously, refusing to tell him my real reason just yet. He leans down so that his breath is fanning my face, his closeness making me feel dizzy as my blood heats under his gaze.
"I don't think so," he whispers against the shell of my ear as he trails his hands across the skin of my arms, making me shiver, my skin erupting with Goosebumps, "I think you lied...mates aren't supposed to lie."
"Really? " I breathe out, sounding breathless, his soft caresses doing unspeakable things to my mind as my eyes widen at his statement, which I barely understand.
"Yes," Will says, biting my ear lobe hard enough to cause me to whimper but gentle enough to not draw blood," My kitten, needs to be punished."
"What?!" I ask, panicked. My eyes frantic as they pierce into his, worried he'll send me to the dungeons or starve me.
"Punishment, little mate," Will says, his lips landing on the junction where my neck met my shoulder while he palmed my breast through the fabric of my dress, causing me to take my bottom lip between my teeth, my senses getting overwhelmed by his enticing lips against my neck and his torturous touch, as I held back a moan.
"B..b..but I," I try to speak, but words never leave me when his lips land on mine again, catching me by surprise as a moan leaves my mouth.
His smiles into the kiss as his hands travel from my breast down towards my hips so that he can pull me closer to him, the heat from his body making my mind crazy as I pull him closer as well, my hands greedily exploring his torso as they skim across his abdomen to his chest feeling the muscles hidden underneath his clothes.
My exploration shortened when he grabs both of my hands and pins them above my head while deepening the kiss by plunging his tongue into my mouth, a delicious moan coming from his throat as I struggle against his hold.
The kiss is like an illicit poison, as his taste of cinnamon sits on my tongue, making the ache in my lower regions grow to the point where I whimper out a cry, "Pl. ..please."
He seems to ignore my words as the kiss becomes even more ferocious, his hands doing crazy things to me as they cup my breast, kneading the left while taking my right nipple between his fingers. He tugs and pulls on the sensitive bud, leading me to gasp.
"Mate, say it," Will whispers against my lips, causing me to give him a confused look, my mind too numb from the kiss to think, "Tell me you are mine, only mine, that only I can touch you like this. That only I can have you,"
My body burns with a renewed energy as I meekly nod, too battered to realize what I was agreeing to. His lips land back on mine, consuming all my thoughts and worries.
His lips feel like ecstasy against mine as if the gateway to heaven had just opened up in front of my eyes to set me free from this horrid life of mine. They were soft like the feathers of a beautiful swan.
I could feel something tugging between us, maybe it was his heart or mine. I wouldn't know as he pulled me even closer, so that our chests are against each other. He pushed his fingers through the lace of my dress, so that it loosened to the point where the top half had slid down to expose my breast to the cold air of the night, my nipples tightening instantly from the cold.Will pulls away and looks at me, his eyes a dark chocolate as they hungrily roam over my exposed skin, causing my nipples to tighten even further to the point that they ached to be touched and felt.
Will looks at me, his eyes holding a glint of darkness unknown to me, "Kitten, what do you want? Do you want me to suck on your nipples? Do you want me to play with your little pussy?"
"pussy?" I asked confused, I thought it was only a term from my irrational dreams.
"yes pussy," Will says, a small smile on his face as he trails his hands down my legs, hiking my dress up so that the dainty fabric bunches at my hips, leaving my thighs and legs exposed to him. I could feel my body heating up further as his hands drew small circles on the soft flesh of my thighs, slowly moving up toward the junction between my legs.
"this pussy, darling mate," Will says, cupping the junction between my legs as his eyes stare into mine, the ache in my lower groin growing at his touch, causing me to let out a moan full of plea as I try to clench my legs together, only to be stopped by him when he brings his hands around my thighs to push them further apart.
"does it ache? Is your pussy begging for my cock? " I whimper at his question, my mind feeling hazy when his muscular fingers find my aching clit causing me to cry out loud, my back arching as he slowly circles the sensitive bud with his fingers.
"I didn't get a response, mate," Will says with a coy smile as he quickens his assault on my clit, making my chest heave up and down. I trembled from the intoxicating pleasure.
"I...I.., yes," at my response, I felt something grow strong within my chest, a feeling I had only ever experienced once before.
My wolf.
I could feel her fur bristle underneath my skin, a feeling I had almost forgotten as she awakened from the pleasure caused by her mate, my mercury-colored eyes changing into soft brown ones as I looked into Will's.
He smiles down at me, stopping his movement, my face overshadowing with disappointment from his actions, which makes him let out a light chuckle, "Don't look so disappointed, little kitten. Surely, you should feel happy knowing that your wolf has returned."
"How...how did you know about that?" I asked, baffled, while pulling away from Will.
"You're my mate. How couldn't I know that strengthening our bond would give her life again?" Will asks, his voice etched in amusement as he trails his hand through my hair.
"She will come back?" I ask, my voice trembling, tears gathering in my eyes. Will nods in yes, making me give him a tearful smile, causing a watery smile to break out on my face as I wrap my arms around him in a small embrace.
"Yes, she will. I promise to you I will never let anything else happen to her again," Will says, pulling back to push a strand of my hair behind my ear while he used his other hand to tilt my face up so that our lips found each other.
He pulls back, his lips holding a mischievous smile when he says," You should go, it's getting late."
"B..but...but we were...I," I almost want to scream in frustration as I see him walk away. I am about to go to him, but I don't knowing better.
