Chapter 4

Avery Elise’s P. O. V.

Duke carefully lays me on the bed as he kisses me with passion and gentleness. I can feel that he wants to do more than that, but I am thankful that he’s considering that I want us to take this slowly.

We stopped kissing each other and I remained unmoving beneath him as I closed my eyes. I can feel him staring at me before he caresses my face. But his hand didn’t stay there for long, because slowly, I felt him tracing its way in between my closed legs.

Heat suddenly erupted in my core before I slightly bent over my body as I felt the pleasure within me. Duke’s hand was roaming around my tights before I felt his index finger entering my cave.

I opened my eyes even though my mind was begging me to close them and let my husband pl*asure me, but I want to see him. I want to see the man that I’m trusting my life with from now on. 

I tightened my grip on the bed sheet and bit my lips harder when I felt an aching pain inside me as he started moving his finger. The pain was already slowly being replaced by the pl*asure when Duke suddenly stops as he looks into my eyes.

“W-What?” I asked in a hoarse voice.

He removed his hand from me before he used his other hand to hold my chin and pull my lips out of my teeth.

“Stop biting your lips, you’ll hurt yourself.” He whispered and I wanted to talk back to him, but Duke had already leaned closer and claimed my lips as he entered his finger into my cave again. “D*mn tight!”

I felt my cheeks burning in embarrassment because of what he m*aned, but then, I remember that we were under the darkness so it was okay because Duke can’t see me clearly.

‘It’s okay, you can’t see me clearly, anyway..’ I said to myself. The moonlight couldn’t reach the part of his bed.

I was comfortable with that thought when I suddenly heard Duke, chuckling at me with no emotion, but coldness in his voice. He parted our lips before I felt him looking straight at me.

“Oh, how silly of you to think like that…” My eyes widened and in an instant, the fire in my body had subsided. “I can clearly see in the dark..”

“W-What?” 

“You’re already aware that I’m a primordial. What’s more to hide from my Luna Queen?” I heard him asking in a serious tone. “I can read your mind and tell what you’re thinking, even without mind linking me.”

“T-That's impossible---”

“Aren’t I the Lycan Alpha King now?” Duke buried his face in my neck. “But being your husband gives me more power over you..”

I held my breath when he started moving his hand again and I felt him s*cking the skin on my neck. I arched my body before I held onto Duke’s back and left scratches on his shoulder and back.

I heard when Duke m*an because of the pain that I caused him, but instead in pain, he seemed to like what I did. Duke started kissing me down to my collarbone before he reached the peak of my mountains. 

His mouth immediately occupy my beads and all I did is to silently cry in great pl*asure. What Duke is doing to my body’s completely foreign to me, but despite all that, I never complain because of how good it feels for me.

After Duke got what he wanted with my beads, he knelt in between my open legs before I saw him positioning himself, although my vision of him isn’t clear because of the darkness.

It’s unfair that Duke can have a clear version of me right now, while I can’t.

“D*mn, you’re all wet and ready for me, huh, my Luna?” I bit my lower lip because of the shyness I’m feeling inside me. 

Duke leaned over to me again as he planted kisses on my face and his member is rubbing against my cave.

“D-Duke…” I moaned his name when I started feeling him slowly moving into my entrance.

“This will hurt a lit----”

Duke’s words were cut off when he heard someone banging on the door. The desire and needs that I was feeling inside my body completely disappeared this time as I looked at the door’s side.

“W-What is that?” 

I thought the floor is preserved today for the two of us only. Did Lory lie to me or someone’s just really persistent to be part of our first night as husband and wife despite the fact that everyone in this house knew that Duke and I would be consummating our marriage right now?

Hadn’t Duke is still been laying on top of me, I would definitely shriek in horror when he punched the side of the bed, but not close enough to hurt me.

It suddenly crossed my mind that this is the man that everyone fears, and so should I.  Duke stood up and opened the lights in the whole room before he picked up his clothes above the table.

Since my vision was suddenly blinded by the lights, I needed to blink a couple of times to clear everything for me.

“Get dressed,” the gentleness in his voice earlier was now replaced by his cold tone.

Gone the comfort and safety that he made me feel earlier, now, whenever I would look at him, all I see is danger and d*ath. His cold and ruthless aura has surrounded him once again, like how the first time I saw him at the contract signing.

When he looked at me, his eyes darkened after he saw that I’m still not dressed. I only realized my mistake when I saw him clenching his jaw before he picked up clothes beside him and started crossing our distance again.

Duke handed the clothes to me and in fear that I might do something wrong, I lowered my head instead and accepted the clothes in his hand.

“Get dressed,” he repeated so I quickly nodded before I wrapped the sheet around my body and was about to go to the bathroom when Duke stopped me. “Do it here.”

“W-What?” I know that I literally went cold because of what he said.

I glanced at the door when I heard someone knocking again. Duke clicked his tongue before he sat down on the bed.

“A fair warning, one thing you keep on your mind,” I looked back at Duke and saw him looking at me with coldness in his eyes. “Remove that shy you’re feeling whenever you’re with me.”

It seems that it doesn’t really bother him if someone’s banging on the door. My eyes were glued on Duke when he stood up and towered over me. Using his index finger, he raised my chin to have our eyes meet at the same angle.

“Disobey me and you’ll see why I warn you,” he whispered before he claimed my lips… in a harsh and brutal way.

I groaned in pain when I felt Duke biting my bottom lips as he removed the sheet that was covering my body. I was already shaking in fear when he stopped and looked at me like I’m his prey.

“Move,” he said as he never removed his eyes from me.

I am completely naked and blushing really hard as I quickly move to dress myself in front of Duke. I don’t also want to make the person outside wait any longer. After I was done getting dressed, I stood in front of Duke with my messy long hair.

He looked at me intently and I couldn’t hold the intensity that his gaze was giving me so I tried hard to avoid my eyes at him. Duke came forward and pulled me to my waist.

“Never avoid eye contact with me,” he whispered and I immediately knew it was one of his rules for me to follow. I looked up into his eyes despite the discomfort that I am feeling. “Got it?”

My lips trembled in fear before I nodded at him. Duke wanted to say more to me, but the knocks on the door got louder this time. I heard him cursing under his breath before he let go of me and finally went to open the door.

“And who the f*ck was that?!” I almost jumped in horror when Duke’s voice echoed in the whole room.

“Duke, it’s Tiffany!” I heard Morgan’s voice outside and explained to Duke.

I started walking to stand beside my husband and saw that Morgan was about to explain further to Duke, but her eyes averted to me and they immediately burned in anger. There are also some maids beside her who are eyeing me in a mocking and insulting way.

“You, b*tch! It was your fault!” We were all shocked when Morgan ran off and tried to attack me.

I tilted my head to the right side when I saw her hand flying over to hurt me, but I didn’t feel anything after some seconds of waiting. I opened my eyes and looked at them.

With tears of fear in my eyes, I saw Duke looking at me with no emotion in his deep and dark eyes. But although he was emotionless, I still saw him clenching his jaw while watching my tears fall down from my eyes.

“D-Duke…” I whispered his name before I trailed my eyes in his arm and saw his hand holding his mother’s hand. 

“Let go of me, Duke! This woman here needs to be punished for trying to kill Tiffany!”
