Chapter 37 #3
Suddenly, I retreated in horror. I simultaneously recoiled from Jake as Aiden's scent drifted to my nostrils. His scent brought some sense into me .
“Why do I feel like this? My skin is so sensitive and—”
The words were still coming out thick, but I was able to think more clearly now.
“You’re in heat,” Aiden's voice interrupted from behind the bench.
I shivered. The vibrations of his voice seemed to travel down the back of my spine and settle between my legs, making my underwear soaking wet.
“I thought someone would have discussed this with you. You need to get the heat pills prescribed from Dr. Danvers.” Aiden brought a hand out to grab my upper arm.
I leaned into his touch hungrily. My skin was hot against his cool hand.
“Come on. Let’s get you home. I’ve asked Tony to grab a batch from Dr. Danvers and meet us at the house. ”
Aiden had grabbed my bag so I could focus on moving one foot after the other and kept talking, apologizing, taking responsibility for this entire situation.
“If I’d just taken the time to look at you, I would have known,” he said, when we were finally in his car. “We’ve still caught it early on. You could have gotten a fever from staying in your heat cycle without mating.”
“Is this normal?” I asked, my tongue lolling around in my head. It was heavy, and I was so hot. Sweat dripped down my neck, my chest, and stomach. My cheeks were bright red. I put a cheek against the window, hoping to cool down.
“It’s different for every female. Some get their heat cycles right after they turn, others get them after meeting their mate, and still there are some that only have one heat cycle in their entire lifetime. It has to do with fertility.” Aiden swallowed convulsively.
Just great. So this was basically my body begging Aiden to get me pregnant. It felt too hot, and the shirt was itchy.
I needed him to touch my bare skin. My eyes landed on Aiden's long fingers gripping the steering wheel. My body needed those fingers on me...in me …
Aiden's POV
If Rose was getting her heat cycle after a week of turning, it meant her body was ready to have pups. I swerved onto the road that led towards our pack territory. Almost home…
“How frequent are these?” Rose panted, sweat beading on her forehead.
She shifted in the car, squeezing her legs together; trying desperately to ease the ache. I couldn’t help but notice what she was doing. Her arousal was beckoning me. Waves of her desire crashed over me. I gripped the steering wheel tighter.
“Please keep talking to keep my mind off this…” Her fingers pulled at her hair, damp with sweat.
“On average, females get them once every three months until they fall pregnant,” I explained shakily. Rose’s pheromones were turning me on. I wanted to park the car and drag her into the backseat to fulfill the needs of her heat.
“So there’s a light at the end of the tunnel,” Rose cackled, her voice cracking mid-laugh. “Ahhh.” She ran her hands down her chest, over her stomach. “I need to take my shirt off,” Rose croaked out.
I gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. Ah shit, and Rose was looking at my fingers like she wanted them in her.
Rose was radiating her arousal towards me like a shining beacon of light. I couldn't help but bitterly think that I was the moth, and she was the flame. It was getting harder to resist her.
“Deep breaths, Rose. We’re almost home. Hang in there.” My voice was encouraging, trying to help her maintain control.
“I don’t think I can,” Rose moaned, her hands slipping under her shirt.
From the corner of my eye, I saw her grip her breasts.
I pulled up in the driveway, relieved to see Tony’s car parked already. But Rose was in no position to walk. She was panting and leaning heavily against the door, touching herself, her forehead plastered against the window.
I opened her door and, with a deep breath to strengthen my willpower, I took her in my arms bridal style.
“Ahhhh,” Rose moaned at the contact.
I cursed when she nuzzled her nose into the crook of my neck.
Tony was already opening the door for me as I walked up the steps to the portico of my residence.
“I put the water and pills in her room. She’s taking them late, so Dr. Danvers said she might be a little sick,” Tony spoke hurriedly to me walking towards the stairs. “Don’t…leave her alone for a while.”
I nodded curtly, rushing up the stairs, past the second floor and onto the third floor.
I froze on the threshold of her room when I felt something wet and warm attach to my neck.
Rose suctioned on the soft, sensitive skin before scraping her teeth against it.
I grit my teeth, trying to fight my own desire. I wanted her so badly, it hurt.
“Aiden ,” Rose moaned breathily, her chest brushing against mine. Her fingers threaded through my hair. “Please,” She begged. This time, she licked the outer shell of my ear. “I need you to touch me.”
I shivered as she spoke. Then abruptly jerked back, rushing her to the bed so she could sit down.
“You have to take this medicine.” My voice was shaky as I thrust a glass of water towards her and held out the pills on her side table.
“I need…I need…” Rose moaned again, her hands traveling to the area between her legs to cup herself.
She opened her legs wider, touching herself through the fabric of her jeans. I was eye-level with her hand palming her core since I was crouching in front of her as she sat facing me on the bed.
If things had been different, this would have been insanely hot, I couldn’t help but think in the far recesses of my mind.
I firmly gave myself a mental shake and attempted to stay on task.
To take advantage of Rose in this state would be grossly unfair to her.
This wasn't how I’d ever want her first time, or even our first time to be.
“No, no, no, Princess. You don’t need anything except this medicine. Come on, open up.”
I held the pills up for her. She opened her mouth obediently, more so because she was so far gone in her heat cycle that she’d probably do whatever I, being her alpha,asked her to do. I tipped the glass of water towards her with my right hand, and she drank greedily, finishing the entire glass.
And then the glass fell to the ground with a dull clunk as Rose grabbed my right wrist aggressively.
I was too startled to pull back as Rose tilted her mouth, bringing my wrist to her lips.
She began laving her tongue over the inside of it.
I sucked in a sharp breathy as my restraint almost cracked.
Hopefully, the pills would take effect soon.
Relieved that she’d be fine soon, I drank her in. Her pupils were blown wide, filled with desire as she looked at me while she sucked. Then she moved her tongue across my palm, across my fingers, twirling her tongue around the tips of them while humming in satisfaction.
Fuck. I was barely hanging on, wishing she’d look at me that way one day without being in heat.
I brought a hand up to check her temperature, to see if she was still sweating.
This had to end soon. Rose suddenly leaned towards me, falling into me.
We both fell back and my back hit the floor with her on top.
She slotted her hips against mine and moved against the friction of my erection against her core.
She moaned, rubbing against me. “Please…Alpha…please…”
“Not like this.” I spoke firmly.
She reached for her shirt and flung it across the room.
“Touch me.” She leaned down, her chest sliding across mine seductively.
She moaned in sweet relief, rubbing her body against mine.
Oh how I wanted to.
“I…maybe you should take a cold shower.” My voice was gruff, raw with unconcealed lust for her.
Rose grabbed my hands at my sides, bringing them up to touch her sides, her stomach, her breasts.
I cupped her breasts through her blue lace bra as they filled my hand, momentarily giving in to massage them because they were the most gorgeous things I had ever seen. One day, I wanted to suck on them. One day.
“Yessss…” Rose moved more arduously. My own arousal hardened. “More,” she breathily moaned as she gyrated, feeling my bulge become more prominent with every thrust of her hips.
I brought my hands down her sides, stilling her hips that were moving brokenly against me.
Her temperature was starting to go down.
She wasn’t sweating as much anymore. But I wasn’t sure if it was because the pills were finally working or if it was because I was touching her.
Other than the pills, fulfilling the demand of her heat cycle was the only other way to bring her temperature down and relieve her of the effects.
I couldn’t leave her. I had to stay to keep her from overheating in case the pills didn’t work. But would I be able to control myself?
Rose leaned down to kiss me . I averted my mouth, and she ended up peppering kisses along my jaw.
My hands came up to soothingly run up her sides and back down against her skin as she worked her way across the scent glands behind my ear before moving down my neck.
Raging desire pulsed through my body. I felt how her breath hitched when she reached my collarbone, and my long fingers ran circles across her lower back.
Rose moaned as she felt my hot fingers against her cold skin.
I stilled my movement.
Cold skin.
Had the pills taken effect?
It was when my movements were still that Rose jerked back, moving off of me in horror. The pills had taken effect a while ago. That attempt to kiss me before ravaging my neck had been all her surrendering to her wolf..
“I'm sorry…I’m sorry,” Rose gasped. “I’m fine now. The pills, they—” Rose stopped mid-sentence, lurching forward. She doubled over in pain. Then she threw up.
