    Chapter 48 Forty-Eigh


    Killian''s point of view


    I got on the horse, behind She. I wrapped my arms stylishly around her, reaching out to the reins in


    her hands. I smiled at the sparks that formed there. She retracted her hands, folding them against


    her chest.


    I sighed, tugging harder on the reins, navigating the horse out of the human vige. Soon we were


    back in the woods. Instead of following the main route that led back to the capital, I decided to go


    through a different route. The Fire Crest Pack could be scattered around waiting for us, and I


    desperately hoped Morgan and the guys were safe.


    We rode for hours, the bright burning of the sun lessened, slowly retiring for the day. I moved faster on


    the horse. We had to get to shelter before the moon came up and darkness covered the earth.


    After a few hours of riding, we reached a familiar cottage right outside the capital. The moon was


    already shining down on us, and it would be dangerous to keep on riding. We would rest here for the


    night, and hopefully, before dawn, Ryker would be fully healed and I would be able to send word to my


    brother.


    We halted in front of the cottage. I jumped down from it. She followed me after. I led the horse to the


    side of the cottage, tying it firmly to the tree.


    "Where are we?" She''s beautiful voice sounded as she cautiously scanned the surroundings, her


    hands rubbing the skin of her arm to provide some warmth for herself as the cold air blew harshly to the


    east.


    "Do not worry, this ce is safe. It belongs to my pack, and no one knows about it." I informed her,


    walking to the front door.


    "I am not worried," she bit out furiously.


    I stopped in my tracks, turning to see her face under the moonlight. She was still angry, and it seemed


    like my mere presence annoyed her. It was as if everything I did or said seemed to piss her off.


    Her blue eyes were directed at me, ring.


    I pulled away first. It was better this way than to have her get madder than she already was.


    I held onto the knob. It was rusty. I haven''t been here in a long time. I grabbed a rock from the ground,


    smashing it against the knob, and it broke to the ground.


    I pushed it open, the smell of dust filling the air. I gazed back at She, who was a safe distance away.


    "Hang on a minute."


    I went inside. It was just a single old room with a pile of dust around it and webs.


    I grabbed the sheets off the bed, dusting off some dust and getting rid of the webs.


    She sauntered closer to the entrance of the door. I managed to get rid of some dust and webs,


    making the cefortable for the night.


    When I was done, I gestured her in.


    While She sat on the bed, I went out to get some wood to burn. I was back after a few minutes with


    some wood. She was curled up on the bed, asleep.


    I made a small fire in the cottage, warming up the air. My eyes fell on the sleeping figure of my mate,


    curled so perfectly on the bed. I couldn''t help but move closer to the bed. I grabbed some woolen


    sheets and spread them over her body.


    I sat on the bed, watching her asleep. She was beautiful. So beautiful that it caused my eyes to sting


    with tears. Even in her sleepy state, I could see the angry folds of her brows and the dark circles


    around the skin of her eyes from way too much pain and exhaustion.


    "You are responsible for that, Killian." Ryker''s voice used loudly in my head. I nodded my head


    knowingly. I was indeed responsible for that. But I didn''t mean to hurt her. I just wanted to protect her.


    "If that was true, you wouldn''t have chosen Thea over her. You wouldn''t have preferred to stay back


    with that woman instead of apanying our mate!" Ryker shot again, mercilessly. He was vexed and


    upset with me.

    Hearing the stern truth from my wolf was like a stab in my chest.


    My eyes glistened with tears that rolled freely from my eyes. I shut my eyes, bathing in the pain. My


    eyes pulled open, and surprisingly, I found She staring at me with hidden emotions in her eyes.


    Without blinking away, I held her stare, and my hand fell on her warm one. My eyes furrowed and my


    lips parted. "I am so sorry for hurting you." The words left my lips with all seriousness and sincerity.


    She''s blue eyes widened gently, her eyes unmoving from mine.


    "I shouldn''t have treated you the way I have been doing, and believe me, I regret not following you


    instead. I should have gone with you. You are my priority, She, and will always be of importance to


    me." I said, calmly and slowly. I needed her to know. I gave her soft hand a small squeeze before


    moving to the other side of the bed. I plopped down on it, shutting my eyes.


    ***


    The night went extremely slow. I stirred gently on the bed. My eyes pulled open and I found She''s


    blue eyes on me.


    She was lying next to me on the small bed, curled in her previous position, watching me tightly. My


    amber irises held her stare. It didn''t hold rage or annoyance. Whatever it was in those precious eyes of


    hers was soft and tender. She was slowly bing a master at masking her emotions.


    I couldn''t pull away from her stare. I just relished the pleasure of having her next to me. This was the


    first time we''d shared the same room and existed calmly in the same space. I loved it and wanted to


    treasure it a little longer.


    We remained fixed in our position, taking each other in. Then she stirred and moved closer to me.


    She took me by surprise when she leaned closer and her lips touched mine.


    Oh, my goddess. I froze.


    I was shocked when her hand pulled up to my face as she began to kiss me. Her lips moved softly on


    mine, and I found myself kissing her back softly.


    I leaned against the bed as She positioned herself on top of me, her lips not breaking away from


    mine, and soon, her legs were spread out to my sides, straddling me.


    I moaned into the blissful kiss. My hands fell on her waist, but she held them, cing them back on the


    bed.


    She''s blue eyes found mine. They twinkled with something I couldn''t fathom. She leaned over my


    chest, so her face was so close to mine. But instead of kissing my lips, she moved to my neck, sucking


    and nibbling at my skin.


    I groaned in pleasure loudly, my hands piercing down on the bed. She trailed kisses up to my earlobe


    and then nibbled on it. She pulled away, her hands loosening my shirt until my bare skin was in her


    view.


    Her hands rested on my chest as she continued cing sensual kisses across my skin and down to my


    chest.


    I threw my head back on the pillow, my eyes gazing up at the nk air as her assault on my body


    awoke things within me. I felt my body warming up with need.


    I knew exactly what she was doing to me. She was torturing me in the worst possible way, teasing me


    with her body. I couldn''t even hide my frustration and helplessness as her hands kept caressing her


    body, showing me that she was in control and this was her show.


    She caressed every sculpted muscle on my torso with her light touch and tongue. She reached for


    my trousers and hesitated before sending me a bold look. I held my breath. I could feel my heart


    already thumping in my chest. I fought for control as my groin hardened against her soft body.


    She attempted to unbuckle my trousers, but I caught her hand and held them firmly. I felt my body


    vibrate with so much pleasure. I was dying to have her hands down there, but I knew I would not be


    able to hold back. I wanted her like crazy.


    A small ssic smile curled up teasingly on her lips, as she noticed my struggle and suffering. It gave


    her so much pleasure to see me like this.


    Slowly, She pulled away from me. It took me all my self-control and more not to grab her back. I


    hated the sudden coldness that filled my arms in her absence.


    She got out of bed and stood beside it. I returned her intense gaze.


    Then her hands reached behind her back, and swiftly, the ropes binding her dress loosened. Her eyes


    never left mine, even as she reached over to one of her shoulders, grabbed the sleeve of her dress,


    pushing it down slowly until it dropped, revealing one arm and one of her delicate breasts. I leaned a


    little forward, unsure about what was happening.


    My chest rose and fell rapidly as my eyes never left hers. Just like she did to her other sleeve, she


    pushed it down until her dress was hovering around her hips and her glorious naked chest was


    exposed to me.


    She''s round and perky breasts were on full disy. Neither of us was smiling. The air had be


    too tense.


    I gulped as my eyes roamed her chest hungrily before traveling back to her beautiful face. The air


    around us carried a distinct charge of electricity. I could hear the loud beating of She''s heart, and


    mine drummed boldly in my ears.


    With a swift push, her dress fell to the floor, and she stood naked before me.


    Fuck. I couldn''t hold back anymore.
