The unforgettable night

Elara

I woke up sometime in the middle of the night feeling strangely hot. The room was cool, the rain outside had turned into a soft drizzle, and yet my entire body felt like it was burning from the inside. I pushed the blanket away and sat up, hoping the uncomfortable feeling would disappear, but it only seemed to become stronger. My heart was beating faster than it should, my skin felt unusually sensitive, and I couldn't understand what was happening to me.

I pressed the back of my hand against my forehead, wondering if I had a fever. My head still felt slightly heavy from whatever had been put into my drink earlier, but this feeling was different. It was confusing, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore. I shifted restlessly on the bed before looking toward the window, where Cassian was still asleep in the chair.

For a moment, I simply watched him. He had stayed.

After everything that had happened, he had actually stayed beside me instead of leaving me alone in an unfamiliar hotel room. I didn't know why that thought affected me so much, but suddenly I wanted him closer. I wanted the warmth of his presence, his voice, his hands holding mine, anything that could make the strange feeling inside me disappear.

"Cassian," I whispered. He didn't move.

I swallowed and climbed carefully out of the bed. My legs felt slightly unsteady, but I managed to cross the short distance between us. I stood beside his chair for a moment, staring at his sleeping face, before my eyes fell on the buttons of his black shirt.

I don't know what made me reach for them. Maybe I wasn't thinking clearly, maybe it was the drug still affecting me, maybe I simply wanted to feel close to the only person who had made me feel safe that night.

My fingers touched the first button, Before I could undo it, Cassian's hand closed gently around my wrist, I froze. His eyes opened, immediately alert.

"What are you doing?" he asked. I looked at him, embarrassed but unable to step away.

"I don't know."

His gaze moved over my face, and the concern in his expression returned.

"Elara, you're still affected by the drug."

"I feel strange," I admitted. "I'm so hot and uncomfortable, and I don't know how to make it stop." He stood slowly, keeping a careful distance between us.

"You need to lie down."

"I don't want to."

"You don't know what you're asking for right now,” he said.

"I do."

"No, you don't," he said gently. "Not completely." I shook my head and looked into his eyes.

"I'm giving you permission." His jaw tightened.

"That's not enough."

"Why?"

"Because tomorrow you might wake up and regret it."

I stared at him, unable to understand why he was making this so difficult when I was the one asking him to stay.

"I won't,” I said,

"You can't promise that tonight." His words frustrated me, and tears suddenly filled my eyes.

"Everyone keeps deciding things for me," I whispered.

"My father decided what I was worth. That man decided what he could do to me. Everyone thinks they can decide what happens to me." Cassian's expression softened.

"I'm not deciding your life for you."

"Then let me decide this." He remained silent. I stepped closer when he didn't say anything.

"Cassian..." He looked at me.

"I don't want to be alone,” I whispered. For several seconds, he didn't say anything. Then I reached up and kissed him.

The moment our lips met, he became completely still. I pulled away and looked into his eyes.

He closed his eyes for a brief moment, as though fighting with himself.

"Elara..." I touched his cheek.

"Please."

He looked at me again, and something in his expression finally changed. He gently took my hand.

"Are you sure?" I nodded before saying.

"Yes."

He studied my face for another long moment before finally giving in.

His lips came crashing down on mine. A lone tear rolled down my cheek as I finally closed my eyes.

“ Urrmmm,” he groaned in my mouth, pulling me flush to his chest. The kiss started as a soft and tender one but as soon as I started responding to him, the kiss turned into a full hot blown session.

I moaned into his mouth when he found my breast. He started massaging it.

“ Fuck,” he cursed before pulling away when he felt I was out of breath. He pressed his forehead against mine as we both panted.

“ You look like a dream,” he said, taking a step as he looked at my face, making me blush harder.

I narrowed my eyes at him when I saw him walking towards the bed before he sat down on the edge looking at me like a predator.

“ Strip,” he said, in his raspy voice.

“ Huh?”

“ You heard me.”

I stared at him as he looked back at me in a challenge waiting for me to back down.

I kept my eyes on him while shedding my clothes. When I reached for my bra, his Adam apple bobbed and finally when it came off, he gulped visibly.

“ Come here,” he said, extending his hand for me to take.

As soon as I reached home he took my hand and pulled me down on his lap before burying his face in my chest. Goosebumps erupted on my skin when he inhaled sharply.

“ Ummm,” I moaned. The sound came out loud when he took one of my hardened nipples into his mouth.

I didn't know what came over me but I grabbed a fistful of his hair and gave it a hard pull earning a low growl from him. The sound sent a delicious jolt to my core making me drip for him.

“ I need you,” he said, pulling away from my chest. He looked like he was fighting with himself.

“ I…..

“ Take me,” I said, cutting hom off. He looked at me for a few seconds before he stood up with me in his arms.

Then he turned around and laid me on the bed gently before tearing open his shirt with a single tug.

My mouth water looking at his tan well built muscle.

I was so invested looking at his upper body, I didn't know when he pulled his pants and boxer down.

A tingling sensation ran through my body when my gaze fell on his length. It was huge, standing proudly against his abdomen.

“ Scared?” He asked, which made me look at him.

“ It won't….

“ It will,” he said.

Then he got up on the bed, parting my legs wider. I saw him clenching his jaw when he saw my bare core.

“ You are beautiful, Elara," he sounded breathless.

Without wasting another second I saw him dipping his head between my legs.

“ Aaaahhh…….,” I moaned when his tongue touched my pussy. He didn't go gentle on my vertical lips. He was aggressively licking and sucking while punching the nub. My moaning became louder and louder with each passing second.

“ I can't…... .take it anymore….,” I said. Just then I felt him inserting his finger in my pussy and it was enough for me to fall apart.

“ Cassian,” I moaned as his name came on his finger.

“ Ummm, sweet,” he said as he sat up straight again.

He hovered over me and looked at me before he lowered his head and pecked on my lips.

“ It will hurt a little,” he said, his voice soft and gentle.

I couldn't say anything, I just nodded my head and felt his cock at my entrance.

“ If it's too much…

“ Please,” it was all it took as he drove his full length inside in one go.

“ Arrghhh,” a low scream tore through my throat when I felt a sharp pain as if something was tearing open.

“ Sorry. It would have hurt if I had done it slower,” he said, kissing the lone tear away from the corner of my eyes.

He gave me time to adjust to his length and moved when I started rolling my hips.

“ Fuck…….. you….. feel….. so good,” he said inbetween thrust. It didn't take long for me to reach my peak.

“ Take it, kitten,” he said, as his thrust became violent and urgent.

“ Cassi….an…….. ummmmmmmm,” I cummed on his cock and he followed.

I lay there spent and weak as the liquid gushed out of our joining. I panted, closing my eyes, because I wasn't ready yet to face him after what just happened.

But my eyes snapped open when he started moving in and out of me again.

“ I am not done yet,” he said in my ears, lowering his head before he nibbed on my ear. I didn't know how many times we had done it but after the fifth round I passed out.

When I opened my eyes again, the room was quiet.

For a few moments, I simply lay there, staring at the ceiling while trying to gather my thoughts. The rain had stopped sometime during the night, leaving the city outside strangely peaceful. I turned my head toward Cassian and found him asleep beside me.

I watched him silently, I didn't know what tomorrow would bring, I didn't know who he really was, I didn't even know whether I would ever see him again, but I knew one thing, I couldn't stay.

My father's debt hadn't disappeared just because I had found one safe night. The men he owed would eventually come looking for me, and if they found me, they would use me to force him to pay. I couldn't allow that to happen to Cassian, so I carefully climbed out of the bed.

I gathered my clothes and dressed quietly, making sure not to wake him. Every few seconds, I glanced back at him, half expecting his eyes to open, They didn't.

When I finished, I stood beside the bed for a long moment. I wanted to wake him, I wanted to hear him say my name again.

But if I stayed, I knew I might never find the courage to leave.

I found a piece of paper on the desk and sat down to write, My hands trembled as I began, Thank you for saving me.

I stopped for a moment before continuing.

I don't know what I would have done without you. I'm sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, but I can't stay. There are people looking for me because of my father's debts, and I don't want them to find you because of me.

I stared at the words before adding one final sentence. Please don't look for me.

I folded the paper and placed it beside the glass of water. Then I turned toward him one last time.

"Goodbye, Cassian," I whispered.

I quietly opened the door and walked away. I didn't know that the man sleeping behind me was the Lycan King. I didn't know that he would wake up and search for me.

And I certainly didn't know that three months later, while desperately running from my father's debt collectors, I would unknowingly enter his territory. I only knew that I had to disappear.

Because sometimes running away from the person you want most feels easier than staying and risking losing everything.
