The faint fragrance of the ocean was drifting through the open balcony doors, but Lexie was lost in the scent of her mate, weaving around her like a cocoon. Lexie lay sprawled across the bed, her body sore, her skin flushed against the cool silk sheets. It was a sweet pain to have, and she couldn't help but crave more of it. Paul hovered over her, brushing sweaty strands of hair from her face, his thumb tenderly tracing her swollen lips."You’re a mess, sweetheart…”He said, his voice full of fondness and affection.Lexie smiled lazily.“Mm…? Your fault."His chest shook with a laugh, and he bent to kiss her forehead. "Come on. Let’s get you cleaned up before you pass out on me."Before she could protest, Paul scooped her up again, making her squeal and cling to his neck. Her thighs tightened around his waist out if habit, brushing against his still semi-hard length and making him groan under his breath."Behave…” He warned her playfully, nipping at her jaw.Lexie giggled, burying
Lexie woke slowly, like rising her consciousness was slowly rising through sweetness and warmth, like honey. Her body ached in places she hadn’t known could ache. Deep, pulsing soreness between her thighs, a delicious heaviness in her limbs—but it wasn’t unpleasant. It was a constant, thrumming reminder of Paul. A soft sigh slipped from her lips as she shifted beneath the covers, bare skin brushing lagainst the cool sheets. She was sensitive all over, to the point that even faintest movement had her core clenching weakly in memory.Then she realized there was a heavy, solid warmth wrapped around her.One of Paul’s arms was banded tightly around her waist, holding her flush against his chest, his legs tangled with hers possessively. His breath ghosted her ear in slow, steady puffs.Lexie smiled shyly into the pillow.Carefully, she turned in his embrace, moving just enough to see him.Paul was still asleep. His jaw was slack, his face peaceful, but as she brushed the back of her
Lexie's POV:I couldn't believe it had already been three days.Three days locked away in our suite, with only each other, tangled between sheets and kisses, soft laughter and rough, hungry touches. We hadn't even seen the beach until today.Now, standing on the private shoreline, I finally took it in—the stunning stretch of sand, the ocean stretching endlessly under the late afternoon sun, its surface glittering like spilled diamonds.I sighed, letting the warm breeze kiss my skin, lifting strands of my loose hair. The salty air filled my lungs, the heat soaking into my bare torso where my bikini barely covered me, and for the first time in days, I felt almost... grounded.Almost.My moment shattered with a sharp gasp as something cold splattered across my stomach.I looked up, startled, and there he was.Paul stood over me, grinning like the devil himself, wet from head to toe. Droplets clung to his messy hair and ran down the hard lines of his body, each muscle taut under the sun.
Paul’s POV:I didn’t know how long I had been awake, just lying there, staring at her.Lexie slept peacefully beside me, her body tangled in the thin sheets, one bare leg thrown carelessly over the bed. The soft morning light poured through the balcony windows, washing her in gold. She looked like a dream I was scared to wake up from.My chest ached with how much I loved her. It was too much sometimes… too deep to even put into words.Her silk camisole had slipped low in the night, barely clinging to her curves. One soft breast had spilled free, rising and falling with each slow breath. God, she was beautiful. Ethereal. Mine.A pang of hunger twisted in my gut… for everything she was, everything she gave me without even trying.I reached out, unable to help myself, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She sighed softly, nuzzling into my hand, and my heart fucking stuttered."My girl," I whispered, my voice rough with sleep and emotion. "My beautiful girl."I thought about e
Lexie's POV:Dinner today was something special – that was all Paul had told me, and I was more than ready for whatever he had planned. The resort’s outdoor space had been transformed completely : our private balcony was adorned with tiny, flickering candles nestled in elegant holders, and a small canopy of sheer fabric had been set up, making the entire space glow with a warm, inviting light. The soft murmur of the waves in the distance seemed to chime with every heartbeat of ours. I was dressed in a simple, elegant dress that now clung to my body as the gentle night breeze started to flow. The sky had melted into shades of tangerine and indigo, and my husband was standing near the edge of the balcony, looking every bit the romantic dream with his sleeves rolled up. The golden light kissed his jawline as he stepped around me, his eyes warming the air between us. Delicate porcelain plates, sparkling cutlery, and tiny crystal glasses caught the light of the candles. He pulled out
Lexie's POV:The first light of morning spilled in soft golden beams through the open balcony doors, casting a gentle shimmer across the satin sheets. A salty breeze drifted in from the ocean, tugging at the gauzy white curtains like it wanted to be part of the moment. Somewhere outside, waves kissed the sand in their rhythmic hush, always moving, always returning.I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the soft warmth of the sunlight. For the first time since our wedding last week, I had managed to wake before Paul. It felt strange, because every morning since we had arrived at this beach-facing mansion—our honeymoon escape from the world, he was the one to rouse me with soft kisses and teasing fingers. But today? Today I wanted to be the one who set the tone.I turned onto my side and let my gaze linger on him.Even asleep, Paul was all sharp lines and quiet strength, his bronzed skin glowing gold in the early light. The sheet had slipped down his torso during the night, reveali
Lexie’s POV:I dropped the rose; I didn't need it anymore. My eyes followed the outline of his cock, stirring under the silky fabric.I bit my lip, breath catching slightly as I grazed my lips over the swelling ridges, making him grow harder with each light, teasing stroke. A pleased, throaty sound escaped his chest, and I pressed my palm against him. His hips moved instinctively, his eyes falling close due to pleasure as his lips parted with the hint of a moan.I leaned in and brushed my mouth over his chest. “Still feeling sleepy, my love?”“No, but… damn.”He rasped, voice low and rough, “that’s one hell of a way to be woken.”Slipping lower under the sheets.“If you like it, I have some more ideas…”He looked down at me, and the moment our eyes locked, something shifted. Heat surged between us like a spark to dry leaves. He rested back with a groan, one arm behind his head, completely surrendering.I kissed along his abdomen, moving lower, letting my hair fall around him as I s
Paul's POV:It was a Saturday afternoon, the kind that wrapped around your skin just right. The sun was warm on my shoulders, but the breeze kept her from sweating. The crisp air fluttered my skirt and teased my collarbone through the loose neckline of my t-shirt… well, Paul's t-shirt that I had declared as my own. Paul and I had wandered down to the market after breakfast, lazily strolling hand in hand past flower vendors, spice carts, and tables piled high with sun-ripened fruit. The market was buzzing with life; vendors calling out the sweetness of their fruit, kids tugging at their parents’ hands, and it lifted my mood even further. If this was how life was supposed to look like, I was finally starting to feel glad that I survived long enough to reach here. Bright red strawberries caught my eye, and I stopped at a wooden cart stacked high with plump, red berries, and my hand reached for one before I could stop myself. I pressed it between my fingers and it gave just slightly,
Lexie's POV:“Jonas!”His name tore from my throat as I stumbled forward, blood still ringing in my ears.I knew it was him. Despite the years we spent apart, I was confident I would have known him. That tall, broad back like our dad's; the rigid and fast walk like he was constantly hiding something behind his mask. But he didn’t turn around, not even once. “Jonas!” I screamed again, louder this time. I didn't care if I sounded desperate, I needed him to respond.But still, there was nothing. No flinch. No pause. He was just gone.And suddenly, I wasn't so sure anymore. My brother would have heard my cries, he would never hurt me and my mate like this… that's not Jonas, it can't be, right?My little brother… the boy I used to carry on my back when he scraped his knee, the one I smuggled extra sweets to, under the dinner table… he couldn't be the one walking away from me right now. He couldn't be the man who had disappeared between the pines without so much as a backward glance i
Lexie's POV:It was finally time to leave our little bubble of paradise. Paul and I had spent every second of the past week wrapped up in each other, tangled in white sheets and sun kissed sand, laughing, teasing, dancing under moonlight. But now, this trip back home was supposed to be the quiet end to a perfect honeymoon, with my memories filled with yacht rides, ocean breeze and lazy afternoons.We had been driving for hours when we spotted a lonely convenience store in the middle of nowhere– the paint outside was chipping, the neon sign was turned on and flickering even in the evening. I raised my gaze, shielding my eyes with my hand. “One last pit stop?”Paul murmured, kissing my knuckles before pulling into the gravel lot. “Elrick’s Go_ds” was written in peeling red letters. One of the letters was missing, but the location was still quite charming. “Want me to go?” I asked, unbuckling my seatbelt.Paul leaned across to kiss my cheek. “I’ll pump the gas. You grab the snac
Lexie’s POVThe world outside our window was still dark, but a hint of morning clung to the edges of the horizon. Paul's breathing was still ragged, his forehead damp against mine. We were tangled in the sheets, our bodies slick with sweat and love. His heartbeat thumped against my chest, strong and steady, as if it had finally found its rhythm.He brushed a kiss to my temple, his hand caressing my back slowly, fingers splayed like he was trying to memorize every inch of me. “You okay?” he whispered, voice low and hoarse.“Mmm,” I hummed, too blissed out to form words. I curled into his warmth, nuzzling his neck, where his scent still lingered. “I’ve never been better.”His fingers were soft as they traced idle circles into my lower back, and even though his body was spent, I could feel the way he still wanted to stay connected.He shifted after a moment, gently pulling out with a wince and a groan. I whined at the emptiness. He laughed softly and kissed my nose.“Come here, love…”
Lexie’s POV:The moment he sat inside the car, I leaned over, hooking my right leg over his thigh and kisser him with all I had. Paul was stunned for a few moments before he responded, his lips moving against mine for a few moments before I pulled back, bringing my lips near his ears, just like he had been teasing me all night. “You like when they call me Mrs. Paul, right? Then I'll show you what it's like to be your wife, daddy…”It didn't take us more than five minutes to reach our mansion, and it wasn't a surprise to me, since I had been straddling his lap all the way back. There was excitement, anticipation and a little bit of fear in Paul's eyes as I closed the door behind me. “Hi, husband…” I grinned, pushing him onto the plush chair by the window, the moonlight casting silver trails over his skin.“Hey, wife,” he murmured back, voice already darkening with need.His eyes burned into mine as I straddled him, my knees on either side of his strong thighs. I could feel the he
Lexie's POV:The southern Alpha’s estate was everything I imagined: ornate but not ostentatious, steeped in age-old tradition with ivy-covered walls, torch-lit gardens, and the scent of orange blossoms lingering in the warm evening air. Gold-lined lanterns floated in the courtyard pool as we arrived, and the staff greeted us with bows deep enough to impress even royalty from the North. Alpha Rian and Luna Alina stood at the top of the marble steps, radiating the composed elegance of true leadership. “Alpha Paul, Luna Lexie! Thank you for honouring us with your presence.”I gave a respectful nod, while Paul offered a grin that was both polite and perfectly confident. “We’re grateful for the invitation. It's been a beautiful week here.”Luna Alina gave me a knowing smile, eyes crinkling. “You both look like the holiday has been treating you very well.”Paul’s fingers brushed lightly against the small of my back. “Couldn’t be better!”He replied, and I bit back a smile. We were esco
The sun dipped low in the sky, casting a beautiful golden glow over the southern territories. The yacht Paul had rented glided gently across the shimmering waves, anchored now just off the private cove they had claimed as their temporary paradise. Lexie leaned against the polished railing, the sea breeze toying with strands of her hair, her eyes half-lidded in peace as she watched the horizon stretch endlessly before them. This had quickly become her favorite time of the day… and the thought of leaving this place was beginning to bug her slowly. As if reading her mind, Paul emerged from the cabin, shirt unbuttoned, a drink in one hand and that irrepressible smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “There you are, Mrs. Paul!”His voice was bubbly and affectionate, the nickname rolling off his tongue like it belonged to her as much as the sea belonged to the sky.Lexie smiled, turning toward him. “You have been calling me that all week.”“And I’m never going to stop.” He handed he
