LOGINRASMONAs I watched Verania get ready for the masquerade, I asked myself if I was making the right decision for the hundredth time since I opened my eyes in the morning.Arius invited the entire household, and I knew keeping Verania here would only make him more suspicious, so there was no way she couldn't go. Besides, though he knew about her father, he didn't know who she was.But what if I was wrong?Verania turned around, sensing my eyes on her. She smiled when we made eye contact and asked, "How do I look?"I couldn't help but smile. "Like an angel, wildflower."The dress my aunt helped her pick out was perfect for her. Then again, Verania was beautiful in anything she wore."You look anxious," she said after a while."I don't mean to.""Is everything going to be alright?""Of course. I don't want you to worry about anything, wildflower. Do you understand? I have the situation under control."I pressed my lips to hers as if to seal the promise, and then held her close to me, enjo
VERANIAAfter dinner, Rasmon had to go into his office to get something done and I decided to head up to the room and maybe try to surprise him with one of the brand new, expensive lingerie sets. There was a great desire in me to please him and make him happy. Perhaps this was what matehood truly was about. I wanted him to see me wearing something I felt sexy in. I longed to see his reaction. I'd gone form someone who never thought about sex, and even feared it because of the environment I grew up in, to thinking about it all the time. I wanted Rasmon all the time, too. It was exhilarating, the thought of his hands on me. His lips. His tongue. His cock. Even now, I was shivering. After washing up, I put on the lingerie and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I had this strong sense of derealization even here. Was I really staring at myself in the mirror? Was this really me, Verania Waters? I was so distracted by my reflection that I didn't even notice it when Rasmon entered th
VERANIARasmon pressed kisses along my jaw and my whole body shuddered with delight. I found myself smiling, feeling so pleased with myself and the world around me because everything felt right. Especially when I was with him. “I shouldn’t have called you in here,” he murmured against my skin. “I don’t think I’m going to be able to let you go after this, wildflower.”“You must,” I said with a smile before drawing back. “Your aunt is waiting. You know how impatient she can be. I don’t want to leave her waiting for too long.”Rasmon looked into my eye with an intensity that made butterflies erupt in my tummy. It was almost crazy for me to recall how different things were now. He meant so much to me. So much. Every day, this feeling grew and became something unstoppable.“Why did you call me in here?” I asked softly. “Was there something you wanted to say to me?”Rasmon stroked my cheek. “We’ve been invited to a party. An event held by the Alpha King.”I tensed and Rasmon noticed it
RASMONThings seemed to be going well for us—extremely well. They would’ve been better if I didn’t have these secrets weighing me down but the magic was that when I was around her, everything was perfect and I didn’t have any complaints. My life was perfect. I couldn’t imagine it getting any better than this. I’d been with women before. Lorena was someone I had feelings for, and I wouldn’t say otherwise simply because she disappointed me. I wasn’t that kind of person, and I wasn’t ashamed of the way I felt. We’d been together a long time—long before the war that decided our fates began. But it was physical. I would have sex with her and I’d enjoy it, but there was nothing beyond that, and perhaps that was the reason why I never took things a step further with her. There was nothing there. I hadn’t met a woman who messed with my emotions before. It was safe to say that no woman I’d ever encountered had touched my heart and soul the way Verania did, long before we found out we were
VERANIA“Rasmon!” I moaned as stars exploded behind my closed lids. His head was between my legs, and he feasted. My whole body shook from the pleasure of his tongue and lips sucking and teasing the delicate button between my legs. I arched my back. My orgasm grew, and my core tightened. He continued lapping at my clit nonstop, and I couldn't take it anymore. I exploded. “You taste so good, wildflower,” he said against my flesh. The look in his eyes was almost drunken, and he kept sucking at my flesh while I fell apart again and again, and when his fingers disappeared into my heat, that was when I could barely sit. I kept moaning and rubbing myself against his face, needing more. My thighs hugged his face, and he never stopped, not even when I was sure that I was squeezing his face tightly. When he was done, he flipped me around. I was on my knees, holding onto the back of the couch. He fisted my hair in his hand and pulled so my neck was arched. Then, he kissed my mouth. I taste
RASMONI planned on spending the whole day with her. Right now, the whole world could wait. I was taking her to a place I got right after we invaded the packs. It was a small house atop a hill. You could see the whole country from there. I asked Aunt Verona to take care of things and call me if she needed anything or if something came up. “Just have fun, alright? You don’t know how it pleases me to see you like this. You’re glowing, nephew.”“Thank you, Aunt.”“Take good care of her,” she pleaded. “Verania…she’s sensitive. She’s not like anyone else I’ve ever met before. She might seem strong, but when her feelings are wounded, they’ll be seriously wounded. You know what I mean, don’t you?”Of course, I knew what she meant. Now that we were mates, it was awful that I was keeping so many things from her. There was so much I wanted to share with her. I went from avoiding her completely to wanting to give her everything I’d ever had. It was surreal. Special. Different. I knew from t
