Alpha King’s Wolfless Mate by Scarlett Higgins

Chapter 58

**Nora POV

Blake carried me into our room and kicked the door closed before tossing me onto the bed. I bounced on the mattress and couldn’t help but giggle at his antics.

It was rare for us to share a playful moment, and I savored the opportunity to tease him. Blake started to crawl over me, but I scrambled backwards, out of his reach.

He smirked at me and grabbed my ankle, pulling me back to ward him. He pinned me to the mattress and raised his eyebrows at me in an exaggerated expression of surprise.

“Are you trying to run from me?” he asked in fauxoffense.

I shook my head.“No, I’m just making you put in a little more effort,”I teased.

He scoffe d and grabbed my wrists, pinning them above my head.“I’ve chased you all over the kingdom,” he said seriously.“I’ll follow you anywhere.”

My face flushed at his words and I stared into his dark eyes, unable to think of a response. Blake took the opportunity to lean in and k*ss me.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and returned the k*ss enthusiastically. Blake had done everything possible to show me how much he wanted me in his life, and Goddess knows, I certainly hadn’t made it easy on him.

Right now, there was nothing in the world thatmattered more than showing him exactly how much I wanted to be by his side.

I sucked on his lower l*p and he moaned. He slid his hands up my dress and sl*pped his fingers into the band of my panties. The urgency we’d felt earlier was quickly returning and he didn’t hesitate to pull them down and toss them aside.

I moaned softly and arched against him. He began k*ssing my jaw, then bit lightly down my n*eck. My head fell back to give him more access.

Blake pulled out of my g rip and moved down the bed. He looked up at me from between my knees and locked eyes with me. My breath hitched as I saw the mischievous glint in his eyes.

Blake held himself up on his forearm and watched my face as he sl*pped his finger into me. I gasped in surprise and pleasure at the quick, unexpected intrusion.

He smirked in satisfaction at my reaction. I didn’t care, I just wanted more of his touch. He moved his fingers in a lazy, slow caress that was quickly driving me crazy.

I whined. I probably sounded pathetic, but Blake’s grin just widened and he increased his pace.

My back arched off of the mattress and I bit my l*p in an attempt to hold back my moans. There was no reason to, really. It’s not as though anyone would overhear.

Blake grabbed my hip with his free hand and held me still. Warmth was quickly spreading through my b*dy and my legs felt shaky.

He seemed to know that I wasn’t going to last muchlonger because Blake suddenly pulled his hand away and climbed over me. He k*ssed me with bruising force and I wrapped my arms around him and held on tight.

He shifted around as he adjusted his clothes and freed his cock.

I shuddered in anticipation as he adjusted his hands on either side of my head. I had been away from him for so long that now that we were together again, every little touch felt electric.

Blake wasn’t the teasing type, or he might have taken advantage of my oversensitivity. Instead, he pushed into me and set a steady pace. I dug my nails into his shoulders and held onto him tightly.

I squeezed my eyes shut and moaned as the sensation of being filled overwhelmed my senses. It was almost frightening how completely Blake could ecl*pse the rest of the world. All I could see, hear, feel, and taste was him. Nothing else mattered when we were together.

I wrapped my legs around Blake and he adjusted his angle. He hit a spot inside of me that took my breath away. I threw my head back and a low whine escaped my throat. Blake made an amused sound and k*ssed my n*eck. I expected him to say something , but he was focused on his actions.

Part of me was a little embarrassed by how wanton I sounded, but it didn’t matter. I pulled at Blake to encourage him to keep moving. He took the hint and grabbed my thighs, pushing my legs apart and increasing his speed.

The entire bed moved with us as we rocked together. The pressure that was building inside of me was almost too much to take. I felt like I was

2/7going to burst from the pure pleasure coursing through my veins.

Blake gently cupped my face and turned my head toward him. I managed to open my eyes and meet his steady gaze. The intensity of his stare almost sent me over the edge. He was looking at me like I was the only thing that mattered. Having his full focus on me would never cease to thrill me.

I surged forward and k*ssed him. Our teeth clinked together painfully, but neither of us seemed to care. Blake’s tongue pushed into my mouth.

I locked my ankles together behind his back and did my best to keep up with his movements. I held onto him as his movements became erratic and his pace stuttered. He was getting close, too. A deep, low growl was rumbling his chest.

He grabbed my hips and adjusted my b*dy. The new angle was all I needed to find my release. My legs started to shake and my back arched as a wave of pleasure crashed over me. I squeezed my eyes shut and focused on the feeling.

Blake’s movements didn’t falter and the continued stimulation prolonged the pleasurable sensation until I was almost sobbing from the feeling. The rest of the world seemed to vanish and all I could feel was Blake’s b*dy close to mine.

When Blake’s hips snapped forward and stilled. I was reduced to a breathless, shivering mess. He pulled away from me slowly and lay by my side. His chest rose and fell quickly as he tried to catch his breath as well. It seemed to be easier for him, as his breathing evened out after a short time.

I was panting, still trying to catch my breath as the pleasure faded slowly. Blake k*ssed me lightly, thengot out of bed. I whined at the loss of his touch and turned on my side to watch him as he retrieved his clothes from the floor.

I wasn’t sure how they had even ended up there.

Blake finished dressing and ra n his fingers through his hair to tidy it. He was so cool and collected, while I was a quivering mess. It didn’t seem fair.

He turned and looked at me, still lying sprawled on the mattress. His eyes lingered and a low, barely perceptible growl rumbled in his chest.

“I have work to get back to,”Blake noted unhappily.

I sighed and nodded my understanding.“The work of a king is never over.”

Blake leaned over the bed and k*ssed me lightly.“It’s worth it,” he assured me.

I watched him leave the room and sighed. He was right, of course. Keeping the kingdom running smoothly was worth the hours of Blake’s time it took. I should really be helping more.

I am technically the Luna after all, it was my job to help run things. I really needed to ask Blake how I could help him and relieve some of his stress.

It also occurred to me that Blake may not be giving me the tasks I should be handling as the Luna because of the ritual looming over my head. Maybe he thought I needed Clara before I’d be ready to take on the role fully? Did he think that I was somehow incomplete or incompetent without my wolf?

Did that mean that if I don’t reawaken Clara, he wouldn’t trust me as the Luna? The thought upset me more than I cared to admit, and it onlyI missed Clara, and I wanted to be a good Luna, but I was so afraid of losing the life I had with Blake.

I pulled the pillow tight against my chest and sighed. What was I going to do?
