All Chapters of Bonded to the Elf king: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The moment her mouth touched mine, I froze.‘She is kissing me … she is kissing me!” It took me a moment to understand, to get in line with what was happening. Her mouth was soft on mine, slow and unsteady, uncertain even as if she waited for me to pull away but all I could think about was ‘the last time she kissed me, led to my death’ Knowing that, I didn’t pull away, I stayed, held bound by her soft lips on mine. I was spellbound, and my heart pounded as if it would jump out of my mouth. Slowly, she pulled away from me, eyes wide. Her cheeks turned red slowly as she realized what she had just done. ‘Can she hear how fast my heart is beating for her? Can she see how much control she has over me?’“Oh my God,” she gasped, hand over her mouth in mortification.“What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I maul you like that? I am sorry, Olpheus.” She apologized, and an ache spread in my chest, because she still didn’t remember me. To her, I was the stranger she shouldn’t be kissing, b

“Are you ready for dinner, my lady?” The maid had asked me.“Dinner?” I frowned, confused. “Yes, our lord is hosting a dinner, a gathering to address the people.” She explained with a small smile.“Oh.” I nodded. Olpheus was a good ruler. He wasn’t Ian. Ian and his father didn’t care about the people, they only cared about themselves, but Olpheus seemed to care about the common man. However, I was uncertain as to why he would want me there. I wasn’t even allowed to leave my room, and I knew that his people had to be pissed at me, considering that I brought problem to their home. Would they want me there? Was Lyara still here? Everything said I should stay back. Did Olpheus even want me there?“Do you want me to help you pick a dress, my lady? You have stunning skin and I think there’s a gorgeous blue dress that will reflect off it wonderfully.” She smiled at me, gesturing at the closet.‘What is there to lose?’I shrug, and nodded, “Alright, but something simple.”“Of course, ma’am.

I stared at Eloise’s, then looked back at Zipphorra. I didn’t know what to do, and I wasn’t even sure what to say. My head was a mess, and my heart was in shambles.‘I had wanted our first time to be good, something wonderful that we can share, not something born out of neccesity, out of a need to keep her alive … if only i had gotten the balls to tell her everything but now, time is running her out. I might lose her again, for good this time, because i won’t be able to save her.’I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and sat at the edge of the bed, staring at her.I could feel Zipphora stare at me, I could feel her pity and it was stifling. I didn’t want her pity. I wanted Eloise back.“Her life force might be failing, but she will wake up soon enough.” She told me, hand on my shoulder, consoling me as best as she could. “When she wakes, you will have only three days to complete the act, three days to mark and mate with her. You no longer have the luxury of time. When the sun

My mind was a mess. The only thing I wanted was to douse out this heat growing in me. I wanted him. I wanted his touch, and I wanted it all over my body. I needed to get my heat under control and he was the only one who could help me. His presence alone had reduced it but I wanted more than his presence. He hesitated for a second, and I kissed him without thinking, showing him that I wanted him. ‘You probably shouldn’t be kissing someone who isn’t your mate’ the words rang true in my head but i didn’t care about this. I wrapped my arms around him, maunevred my body until I was stradling him. I moved my hip, gyrating slowly as i deepened the kiss. I slide my tongue in his mouth, then sucked on his lower lip. My nipples hardened and i grew slicker between my thigh.Then, i realized he wasn’t doing anything.I pulled away from him, heart racing. His face was flushed, and his hands were fisted into the sheets, but that was it. He hadn’t been kissing me back, or even tried to hold me. I

I lost myself to the kiss, to him. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and pulled me flushed against his body. I held on to him tight, feeling him between my legs, strong and warm, sending heat crawling up my spine. His fingers dug into my back softly, and he move it up as if he was commiting every part of me to memory.He pulled away from me, and asked in a soft tone, “Are you ready?” My heart jumped to my throat, and my pulse raced. ‘Am i ready, indeed? … am i ready to mate with him … to give him my body? I am. I should be. He is perfect to me, he has been more nice to me than ian had been in our entire time together so why am i hesitating? Why am i holding back? Why am i even thinking about ian right now? I know i have not officially broken the bond between us, but i shouldn’t be thinking about him, not when i stand on the precipice of everything i want.’As if sensing my hesitation, olpheus kissed my forehead, and moved away. He wrapped up with the sheets and i stared at h
