And I thought I was doing well in holding my ground until he cupped my face and said those words I’d been wanting to hear.
Our faces were so close and his minty breath was running against my skin, sending tingles everywhere in my body. And I couldn’t stop my core from clenching.
I wanted him.
My eyes darted to his lips, and I suddenly felt thirsty.
“I think this is the part where you’re supposed to kiss me… or would you rather just stare…” I was not done with my words yet when his lips captured mine, and my arms immediately wrapped around his neck.
Shit! I lost it.
I wanted my mate. I would just think of another way to make him learn his lessons.
I moaned against his soft and warm lips while kissing him feverishly, taking everything I could. I missed his lips and the way he made me melt in his arms. I felt his hand leave my face before it trailed down my arm and my side until it cupped my ass, pressing our bodies together.
“Nadia…” He withdrew his mouth from mine only to peck it with soft kisses. “I miss you… I’m sorry... Can we… start again?” He asked in between peppering my lips with kisses.
I raised my hand at the back of his head and pressed him closer as I crushed our lips together, not wanting a second away from him before I felt our bodies move and my back was pressed against the wall.
Riley pressed his body against mine, but he was careful not to crush my stomach while his hand was already under my dress, gently massaging my ass, inching it closer to my core, and I knew once he touched me there, I would totally lose it.
“Riley...” I panted against his mouth while he continued to devour me and all thoughts of making him pay for the pain he caused me just flew out of the thin air.
“Mine…” He growled as he nipped my lower lip before plunging his tongue into my mouth, making me whimper as I bucked my hips higher, wanting to feel his hard shaft on my mound.
‘I can hear you from here, Luna. What happened to making him wait?’The Beta chuckled in my head, and I felt like cold water had been poured over my head.
I pushed Riley abruptly, and since he wasn’t expecting it, I was able to get away from him.
Oh, Goddess! Was I that loud?
I tucked my loose hair at the back of my ears before I straightened my dress, and I could feel my skin heating up. Riley’s gaze was burning me. I fixed my posture before throwing him a glance.
His hands were on his hips, his tongue playing on his lower lip as he looked at me with confusion written on his expression.
“I’m sorry, I got carried away,” I told him, offering him a smirk. “Pregnancy hormones,” I added before sliding down to his side to walk towards our bedroom door.
I was about to open it when he blocked it with his body, which startled.
“Wait.” He said, his voice slightly higher.
“What now?”
“Umh, the room. I will have to send someone to clean it first. We can stay in the other room, perhaps for an hour.”
I chuckled and pushed the door open. He had no choice but to let me in. “Why? Because the room was messy? I’ve seen it already. I went here directly when I arrived and asked someone to clean it.”
His eyes swept the room, and his expression told me that he couldn’t believe that it looked different from how he left it this morning.
Because it surely did.
The whole room was trashed and it smelled like it hadn’t had air for a long time. It was not that it smelled bad, because Riley’s musk lingered in the air, but it was too hot for my taste.
And my clothes were everywhere—the bed, the sofa, and I found some beside the bathtub. I could only guess what he used my clothes for, but if anything, I was actually happy with what our room looked like.
It only confirmed what the Beta told me, that Riley was miserable. He sealed the room to make sure my scent didn’t leave the room and was keeping himself sane with my clothes, which was exactly the same thing I did.
“I’m sorry, I should have kept it clean.”
