All Evening
I leaned my face towards Maxxwell's face until I could feel his breath fanning against his. Why did he always smell this good? Like I wanted to sniff him all evening, though that was not enough to appease me at the moment.
With both of my hands on the alpha king's sides, I was itching to touch him and ran my hands all over his body until my body temperature cooled down, if that was possible.
Seeing the alpha king up this close was one of the few things I missed when we no longer shared the same room. And until now, I could still feel the fast beating of my heart whenever I stared at his face.
Handsome.
Beautiful. Above all, forbidden.
How could the Moon Goddess still not give me the happy ending I badly wanted to have? Hasn't she seen how much I already suffered?
How unfair.
Still...the Moon Goddess pairing allowed me to meet Maxxwell.
"Maxxwell," I whispered, inhaling his neck. Hmmm.
My fangs elongated as I watched his exposed neck. I wanted to mark him like how he marked me.
"Your Majesty," I called again.
I looked like a pervert, didn't I? Making my way into his bedroom while he was sleeping soundly. But right now, I no longer cared.
My gaze shifted to his plump and red lips, which reminded me of the strawberries and tomatoes I had been craving for the past couple of days.
I licked my lower lips, fantasizing how it felt to kiss his lips back then.
My heart hammered against my chest.
'Kiss!' Sunflower shouted in my mind. She looked like she was going to hyperventilate as she continued urging me. 'Kiss him! If you don't want to do it, shift into your wolf form, and I will be the one who will kiss him like crazy!'
'Shut up, Sun. This is my moment. You wait for your time.'
She pouted at me. 'Greedy.'
'Don't care.'
My eyes went back to the alpha king's mouth. I could still remember how it tasted. Of how a good kisser he was.
A single bead of sweat fell from my forehead and fell on the alpha king's chest.
He snored softly.
Was he asleep, or was he only acting?
Well, there was only one thing to know for sure.
Kissing him.
Just as I dipped my mouth into him, his eyes popped open. He blinked a couple of times as if verifying if it was I hovering over him. "River?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowed. "What are you doing here?" I smiled sweetly at him.
"Your Majesty. I miss you so much that I could not fathom being apart from you. My soul is calling for your name, and I could not stay still until I got to see you and hold you in my arms."
He muttered about the guards not doing their jobs at guarding me.
Not wanting his irritation to control my emotions, I asked, "Can I kiss you? It's been a long time since I last kissed someone. And oh. It was only you."
He scowled.
Chuckling, I dunked my lips into his, but using his hand, he stopped me in the middle.
He sniffed the air. "You are drunk?"
"Just a sip. Nothing wrong with that," I retorted. I grinned like crazy. "Now. Can I kiss you, Your Majesty? I broke out of my chamber just to come here. Good to know the queen is nowhere to be found," I whispered in a sultry voice in an attempt to seduce him.
His eyes darted to my chest, and he realized I was still naked.
"Like what you see?" I asked. Taunting him, I pressed my chest against his.
His face turned deep red. "What the fuck?"
"Blame to the tiny voice in my mind which keeps me on saying I have to do this," I replied, my words started to slur.
Maybe I was drunk.
His face turned blank, and he averted his gaze. "Dress, River."
My heart sank. "You don't like what you see? I know they are small, but it won't matter, Maxxwell. They will become big when I produce an-"
"That's the heat cycle that made you talk like that. Get off me," he said, cutting off my words. "When you also get sober, you will be embarrassed when you remember what you said."
I gritted my teeth. "Look at me, Maxxwell. I got away from the guards just to come here. And now you won't even look at me? You are hurting my feelings, actually."
And it was true. My chest felt as if it had been stabbed a couple of times.
Two things about me being in heat. One. I was always horny. Two. I was always sensitive.
The alpha king turned to his side, grabbed the blanket, and wrapped it around my body. It smelt so much like him.
"I may be a bastard, cold, and ruthless to some, but I am not the type to take advantage of any women. Especially my mates who are in heat."
I should be happy, right, that he acknowledged me as his mate and that he was considering my welfare. But I was not.
I came here to get laid! But why was he not making any moves? She-wolves on heat give off a smell that the male wolves will have difficulty resisting. But why did the alpha king act like he had some incurable disease?
Feeling offended that Maxxwell could set me aside just like that, I yanked away the irritating cloth around my body. Call it rebellion, but I felt like doing it.
As fast as lightning, Maxxwell averted his gaze, acting like a perfect gentleman.
I hissed and said, "I hate it when you are acting like this, Maxxwell. I am already making the first move."
"This is for your sake, River!" he answered, still not looking at me. "You are lucky I still had enough control not to get swayed."
"I do not care what happens after this, Your Majesty. All you must do is help me get over this. Satisfy the lust I am feeling towards you. If not, I will look for anyone to help me with my problem."
His jaw clenched. "You will not do anything like that. Understood?"
"Look at me first before you order me, Your Majesty," I challenged. "You can't because you are a coward," I added, taunting him.
I got out of bed, still not minding I was buck naked. Perhaps it was the alcohol that gave me the courage to be like this. The most surprising part? I felt sexy knowing the alpha king's eyes were fixated on my back down to my...bottom.
I heard his footsteps coming towards me.
I thought he would give me the kiss I had been waiting for, but he did not. Instead, he wrapped the irritating blanket around my body.
"This is not what I need, Maxxwell. I want you. I am in pain. Can't you see?"
"I assure you will regret this when morning comes," he insisted.
"Now, you are acting like my protector. But no, thank you. If we could not kiss, at least allow me to wear your clothes, Your Majesty. If you do not mind. Like how my other packmates would give clothes to their mates to show affection. Mates. I wonder how: I would feel to have someone. Someone whom I will never share with anyone. If you know what I mean, Your Majesty."
He sighed while I clutched the blanket as together as possible, even if the only thing it could do was to lower my temperature.
"That's pointed towards me, for sure," he said, shaking his head and going to his wardrobe to look for something.
A smile made its way to my lips as I watched him concentrate.
"The queen will be jealous knowing you allow me to borrow your clothes, Your Majesty. Are you sure this will be okay?"
He stopped for a moment and returned to keep looking. "Zenith and I had some...disagreements."
The corner of my lips lifted. "Because of me. I hope the two of you will fix that."
"It's not your fault. But if she finds out you came to visit my room, she will throw a fit."
Which means I must not get caught.
"As long as I am still in the palace, she will continue hating me. Tell her not to worry. A couple of days from now, after the Proclamation Ceremony, I will be out of her sight." "You don't have to go, River."
"Then what? Wait until she kills me because of her intense jealousy? I don't have plans on staying put, Your Majesty. I do not want to see the day that one of us will be dead." The alpha king was back with a shirt big enough for me that it looked like a dress. Grunting, I accepted the shirt, pulled the blanket away from my body, and slipped into it. A playful smile made its way to my lips.
Before the alpha king could know my plan, I threw myself on him. He was caught by surprise, and we nearly fell on the floor. Chuckling, I brushed his face using my fingers and traced every corner of this. "Did I tell you that you are handsome, Maxxwell?" "A bastard, yes. But I never heard you compliment how I look."
"You're handsome. Pretty. Sexy. Delicious. Addictive."
The alpha king's brows furrowed.
"This is getting dangerous, River."
I faked a fearful look. "Oh, does it? What will you do, then, Your Majesty? Will you punish me like what the queen had done?"
My fingers stopped on his stubbles.
The alpha king trembled at my touch.
"I am not aware I hold a power to you like this, Your Majesty."
"Stop that," he said coldly.
I scoffed and rolled over away from him. And got up.
"Party-pooper. I'm just having some fun."
"Have some decency. Your private part is showing."
"Your Majesty. Don't be some hypocrite. You already saw it earlier. Please don't deny it. I know what I saw."
Glancing over my shoulder, he opened his mouth but closed it in the end.
I smirked.
"You're forgiven, anyway. No hard feelings."
The alpha king folded his arms in front of his chest.
"If you want to return to your room, you can no longer do that. There are a lot of eyes watching over me. If someone talks, the queen will know you are in my room. I do not want to create any misunderstandings with her."
"How lucky." I turned my back and jumped on his soft bed, and inhaled it. "That means I have all evening to seduce you, Your Majesty." Patting the space on the bed, I said, "Why don't you join me here, Maxxwell? Let's reminisce while the queen is not around."
I leaned my face towards Maxxwell's face until I could feel his breath fanning against his. Why did he always smell this good? Like I wanted to sniff him all evening, though that was not enough to appease me at the moment.
