Chapter XXXIV

He did not say a word.

He didn't move a muscle.

I could not believe I just professed my love to him while he was on a denial trip.

I wiped my tears away from my face in an attempt to not look totally pathetic. With a sniffle, I straightened my satin dress on my body. I needed to get out and breathe. "I'm sorry," I mumbled out. "I have to get some air."

I began to walk past him to the front door but his large hand snaked around my wrist gently. "Wait," he whispered, not taking his beautiful orbs from my face even though I refused to look at him. "Dance with me?"

If I could melt, I would have right then.

"Please?" he added moving closer to my body.

When I nodded, permitting him to take me where he liked. His hand locked into mine and led me to the bedroom that he claimed as "ours."

"Why are we up here?" I asked when he released me to get his phone set up.

"Because I want to drown out the noise," he said as the four speakers around the room turned on with a chirp.

"Oh, I'm obsessed." The first line of Clinton Kane's I Guess I'm In Love played around us.

Atlas tugged me onto his chest before he started to sway along with the music. "I have been wanting to dance with you to this song since the night of the slumber party." He said into my ear.

"Atlas-." I tried to speak up as more tears stung my eyes for an entirely different reason.

"Shush, my love. I wanted to tell you this way. Just listen." He kissed my head and guided me around the room.

"And darlin', this is more than anything I felt before

You're everything that I want, but I didn't think I'd find

Someone who is worth the wait of all the years of my heartbreak

But I know now I found the one I love"

A gasp left my lips as I removed my head from his solid chest. His hazel eyes were already on me

"I love you, baby. I have loved you since the moment I first saw you sitting on the ballroom floor. It is why I was so scared to tell you about..." he trailed off looking around the room. "I didn't want you to leave."

My hand grabbed his chin lightly forcing his eyes on me. "It wouldn't have mattered even if it was consensual. It was before me, I can't hold that over you. I can't be your first, which is not your fault, but I can be your last. That is all that matters to me. Take your time. I am ready when you are."

I could see my words absorbing through his ears. His facial features relaxed and balanced out. "You're ready when I am?" He asked in the smallest voice that I have ever heard from him.

"Yes," I say, kissing his cheek sweetly.

When I pulled away, his eyes were just like they were this morning. It brought butterflies to my stomach and an aching between my thighs.

His hands gripped my hips tightly, and his lips came down to my ear lobe. "I am going to show you just how much I love satin."

My entire body reacted to those simple words that came from his mouth. Drawing back from me, he licked his lips looking at me for permission.

I was caught in surprise so I did the only thing I could at that moment. I nodded.

My body was wrapped around him in an instant and then I was put on his giant comfortable bed. His physique positioned itself between my legs and his lips worked their magic on my neck.

I wanted to cry out from the sensation he was bewitching onto me. I bit my lip and tried my best not to embarrass myself.

Removing his lips from my neck, he held himself over me placing sweet kisses on my lips. His arms held all his weight over me, I was caged into the bed.

Without much thought, my hands clawed at his shirt. His pace made me crave him more and more.

Letting out a growl he leaned away from me and tore the shirt from his god-like body.

My hands moved from his stomach to his chest.

"Tell me if you want to stop, my love." his voice snapped my eyes away from his exposed skin.

Pulling myself up to him, I shook my head. "I'm not going to." The lengths of my fingers came to his hair tugging him back on top of me.

He groaned as I connected our lips into wet sloppy kisses again. I could feel his hands make their way to both of my thighs. Feathering touches on my skin made excitement soar through me.

"I want to try something," he said against my swollen lips. His mouth left mine again trailing itself down my neck and dress-covered body.

My nipples hardened, showing themselves through the thin material when he stopped. He stood at the end of the bed staring down at me again. I was his prey and he looked very hungry.

His hands gripped my ankles and slid me to him. His eyes were almost black by the lust clouding them, I almost moaned at just the look on his face while he got on his knees.

The sound finally escaped when the feeling of his tongue and mouth came to my inner thigh.

Atlas filled the air around us with a satisfied grumble before pressing his lips closer to my center.

My core ached for his touch and I could feel wetness developing in my nude panties by the second. He must have noticed because he wasted no time throwing my knees on his shoulders and pushing my dress up to my hips.

"Last chance, baby girl." He gritted out looping an arm around one of my thighs and placing his hand on my exposed hip holding that side to the bed.

I was practically panting for him as enthusiasm flooded my stomach. "Please, Atlas," I begged him, not caring how desperate I sounded.

"Fuck." he cursed then ripped my underwear clean off my shaking figure. I didn't have time to process that before I felt his warm tongue caress my delicate folds.

Crying out, I nearly lost all control of my body. He held me still by my hips making me softly rock them against his face. "Atlas." I whimpered as he started to go faster, hitting my nub as he did.

When he hummed out, it sent vibrations to the area he was working his magic on. My hands flew into his hair while the sensation built a huge knot in my stomach. "Goddess!"

Tightening his grip, he began carelessly lapping my clit, soaking up every cry and whimper I released.

Soon it began too much and I lost custody of every fiber of my being. My bottom half moved with him as I came closer and closer to the edge. One rumble from his chest was all it took for me to stiffen up into an arch and unleash my pleasure on his face. I screamed out in absolute bliss and glued my eyes shut.

His arms came from under my legs and he removed himself from me completely. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes until his hands grabbed mine, plucking me from the bed into a wobbling standing position.

Still, in a daze, I fell into his chest. "Woah, there," he said in my hair. "I'm not done with you yet."

Just like that, I was right back to being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

His fingers trailed down the top of my back until he reached the zipper. He fumbled with it for a second before tugging it down.

My entire body erupted with goosebumps. He kept his eyes on mine when he couldn't unzip it anymore. I could see he was silently asking if he could undress me.

Instead of giving him the go-ahead, the pads of my fingers pinched the straps on both of my shoulders, and painfully slowly, I removed them from my arms.

Having no patience, Atlas growled at me and pulled the dress down the rest of my body in a hurry. My nipples were already hard from his actions and the cold air just added to their state.

Standing completely naked in front of him was not as scary as I thought it would be. I was comfortable under his gaze especially when wiped his lips of me with a single thumb.

Celeste was eating this shit up. Surging her confidence in me, my head tilted watching him. "I don't have all night, Alpha."

Atlas' eyes snapped onto mine with a dangerous growl. He didn't say a word, instead, I was thrown onto the bed again and he climbed back onto me. His lips glazed over mine but they didn't press to them. They went to my left breast, taking it in his mouth and making me gasp in delight.

Just when I was going to dive my hands into his hair, his hand gripped onto my wrists holding them above my head.

"Atlas," I whined as he moved to my right breast, teasing it.

He withdrew from my sensitive bud and groped it with his free hand. "Are you ready, baby? We can stop if you want to."

"No, please. Don't stop."

"Are you sure?" The way he wanted to make sure that I was completely okay with this only made me hornier so I responded by grinding myself against him.

"Everly," he let out the warning but I didn't stop. He released my wrists long enough to kick off his pants. He reached over to the nightstand and pulled out a packet, ripping it open with his teeth.

After rolling the latex onto his shaft he lined himself to my opening, I stopped with the movement of my hips. "I'm going to go slow. You are in charge until you want otherwise. Okay?" he tells me.

"Okay." I agree.

Placing his forearms on either side of my head he moved his torso to mine. A stinging pain came through me. I bit my lip trying to conceal it.

Halting, Atlas left sweet kisses on my cheeks and collarbone. After a few seconds had passed, I don't feel discomfort as much anymore. I gulped and told him to continue.

He sucked in air as he slid the rest of his length into my body. His face was full of pure paradise but he did not move a muscle until I was ready.

"Okay..." I said to him and he started moving slowly. His head fell in the curve of my neck giving me reassuring words and kisses.

Each steady thrust became more pleasurable than the last.

"Faster, Atlas," I commanded, wrapping my calves around his back. A familiar knot started to form again making me a whimpering mess.

"Fuck, Everly. You feel so good." he groaned into my ear.

"Mark me," I blurted out as Celeste begged me to.

"Shit," he rasped and yanked me upwards a bit. His teeth scraped against my neck until I moaned out his name.

Shoving his canines into my spot, shot the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. I thrashed but he held me still while he finished the marking process.

The agony faded into something else entirely by the time he had pulled out his teeth. His entire being called to mine. His touch and presence became more persuasive. Most importantly, I felt an overwhelming sense of love and adoration.

The knot had built up to its limit. My breathing began unevenly and Celeste howled out while I came undone all over him.

His movements became messy and his chest heaved above me. "Fuck, Everly. Goddess, I love you." Atlas moaned going faster and faster into me. "Mark me."

I instantly complied. Celeste came forward elongating my canines. I licked down his neck until an unmistakable shutter ripple went through him.

"Now," he groaned.

Sinking my teeth into him nearly made me climax all over again. As his blood entered my mouth, I felt our souls snap together as one. I became lightheaded as small movies played around my head of moments of us together.

There was a rush of air in my face and Helix appeared in wolf form. Lights formed around his head and Celeste came next to him. They licked each other's snouts before belting out the most beautiful howl I had ever heard.

The howls faded out and I was back underneath my mate, letting my teeth out of him.

His grunts did something to me. Each choppy thrust brought the knot back full force. "Shit." I hissed and brought my hands to his back.

A shaking moan racked through him and he pulled away from me completely. I cried out in disappointment as the feeling started to leave my body.

Atlas looked animalistic. His arms had a few veins protruding from underneath his skin. A layer of sweat covered his being and his hair held nothing but messy curls.

A modern god was the only way to describe him.

Lust, love, and a sense of pride flooded our bond as he grabbed ahold of the backs of my knees. "You are so fucking beautiful, Everly. I want to watch you cum this time."

I blinked at his words, my chest tightening in hunger for him. Such a naughty mouth for a male that has never really had sex.

Pulling my legs to his shoulders, he stood on his knees and wrapped his arms around my thighs. His head was perfectly placed between my knees as he lasered his gaze on me.

The pressure of him sliding back into me nearly had me falling over the edge.

The grip on my legs tightened as he rocked into me. His features smooth out in satisfaction with each moan or cry that left my lips.

The need to explode became overwhelming, but I held on to the best of my ability so I did not lose the feeling he was giving me. I never wanted it to end.

Unfortunately for me, Atlas was determined to knock me off my mountain of pent-up arousal and make me break in front of his very eyes.

Releasing a growl he threw one of my legs from his shoulder and held it to his hip. The position left me split open for him to continuously hit a new explored button in me.

I bit my lip trying to take control of my body but he hit it one too many times. I screamed, literally; screamed his name as he pounded me into a mind-altering orgasm.

"Oh Goddess," He whimpered himself as he twitched inside me. "Fuck," the curse fell from his lips as he released my other leg and held them both to his sides.

A loud sigh came from him as he tilted his head back. He drove in three more long strokes as his chest moved, sucking in a big breath. I knew then the ecstasy that I had felt multiple times tonight, had claimed him as its victim as well.

• • • Sexual content over.• • •

He fell next to me after his high and he pulled my very naked body to his.

Both of our necks were bloody from the marking but neither one of us cared. All we cared about was holding each other. He laid flat on his back and held me in his arms. The beating of his heart came to my ear while my head rested on his hard chest.

After catching my breath, and reality coming clearer again, I just had one thing on my mind. "I love you," I whispered as he brushed my hair lightly with his fingers.

"I love you too." He said flooding our bond with so many emotions I couldn't catch all of them. I just got the general vibe of them: happiness.
