Chapter 16 Lorna POV As I lay here, in the strong, protective arms of Drake, I try to rationalise all that has happened since I awake yesterday morning. From rags on a locker, to plush pillows and a warming embrace. Part of me wonders if it is all a fantasy dreamed up and in truth I did jump like I had planned to. That this was my brains comfort in its last few moments. That any second it will all just turn to black and I will be faced with the moon goddess herself. Drakes embrace tightens, even when he slumbers he knows my head is whirling. He is so much more than I ever knew existed. From my days dreaming of a saviour, I realise now how truly lacking they would have been in comparison. I snuggle into him, caressing my nose against his stubbled neck, drawing on the intimacy from the last few hours. Drake was my first kiss, a whisper of a giggle escapes me, and my one hundredth. I am at a loss at how to truly describe how I'm feeling, words like comfort and safe are right but also wrong. Perhaps the only way to sum it up would be with the word.... mate. Despite my hesitancy, I do believe Athena and Drake. I suppose the difficulty lies in that I do not really know what that word means. After so many years, alone and mistreated, it never really got explained to me. After all, I am descended from the pack traitors. I was never deemed to be worthy of a mate. Or at least that is what I was repeatedly told. I understand those words were screamed at me to be cruel, but after years of it, I can't help believing it. "Darling, go back to sleep, you need to rest" is spoken with a barely awake groan. "Yes Alpha" I reply, trying better the remember my place. "Not Alpha, never Alpha to you, anything but Alpha. Equals remember" I ponder that for a moment. Deciding I trust in him and to prove it, "Yes, mate" I hold my breath to see his response. A gasp leaves him, his right hand comes up to my cheek, lifting my eyes to his burning ones. Drakes lips come to mine in a fiery passionate kiss, unlike the gentle intimate ones from earlier. Drake moves so he is laid on top of me, feeling his strong weight above me, I feel small and delicate. On instinct I open my legs to hold him closer to me. Hooking myself on his hips, never wanting to let go. My hands roam his taught chest, up to his shoulders and find a sensitive region at the base of his neck. Drake, groaning at what my hands are doing, rubs his hips against me. A gasp leaves me, swallowed by his kisses. I can feel his c**k, through his shorts, rubbing at my apex. Goddess, he is huge. Impossibly huge, and so hard. A moan escapes me as he rubs against my clit. Tingling sensations begin all over my body like static electricity building up a charger. His kisses move from my lips to my jaw, then slowly down my neck, licking and sucking on my mating spot, I almost peak right there. Nibbling away, uncontrollable moans escape me. "Drake!" I gasp as he pulls his hips away from me. Disappointment fills me. Then I realise his hand is at the waistband of my leggins. Teasing me, seeking entrance. I nod my head ever so slightly, and Drake slips his hand in, his mouth returning to my neck. Forcing my back to bow at the sensation. A growl from Drake, no doubt at finding my curls so wet. His hand pulls back out, slotting his fingers into his mouth, sucking deeply.... tasting me. His eyes become even more black, "I need more, Lorna, can I have it, can I taste you from the source?" He pleads. At a loss for what to say, I nod once more. Desperate to have my man on me again. The waistband is pulled at again, only this time they and my panties are being removed. A gasp leaves me at how quickly I am revealed. A deep, hot kiss finds my mouth, pulling me under, hazy I feel him slide down my body, kissing, nibbling, teasing as he goes. Until finally, his shoulders spread my legs impossibly wide, and he sinks his nose between my p***y lips. Surrounding himself with my scent, my juices, all created by him, for him. I feel him taking deep breaths in, committing my primal scent to memory. The. I feel the tip of his tongue begin, lapping at my essence, drinking from me. Caressing my clit into making more. A charge begins inside me again. Moans and groans pour out of Drake, but I'm so lost in this new sensation. "Drake!" "Drake!" I'm moaning so loud now, chanting his name, as this sensation builds. Higher and higher it climbs. One hand grips the bed sheet, the other rakes through Drakes scalp, gripping him tighter. Chasing the peak. I feel his finger at my entrance, slowly sliding in as his mouth feasts. Caressing me from the inside. Sliding in and out now, pumping me, stretching me. "Goddess, your so tight baby, squeezing on my finger so good" "c*m for me angel" "I can feel you getting closer" he is right, I'm almost there. Cresting that wave but not able to fall, Right then, Drake sucks hard on my clit and presses a hidden spot within my walls. Detonating, I cry out, screaming out my climax. So powerful, the corners of my world turn dark. Coming to, I feel Drake still lapping up all my juices, as after shocks permeate my body. He kisses my p***y then crawls up my body so our eyes meet. Drakes face, shines with moisture, and with happiness. "Now, my delectable mate, go back to sleep in my arms, where you belong" Concern that he has not been satisfied clouds my happiness. "I am well satisfied, watching you climax, screaming my name, set me off like an adolescent pup" realisation dawning, I snuggle into his chest. Having never known all these feelings before I decide to simply embrace it and have Drake be my guide. Dreamily, sated and content, I drift off once more. Not aware that despite the rooms being sound proof, a threat beyond the walls, grew angry and jealous at our new relationship, and the passion kindled within these walls. ...
