Chapter 16
Ashleigh
Though this was not the first time Elijah had carried me off over his shoulder, I fought hard, earning myself several hard swats on my ass along the way. They stung, but the thick fabric of my jeans took the brunt of it.
“I’m warning you, Ashleigh,” he snarled. He placed his hand directly over the cusp of my thighs, making me pause. My body reacted almost viscerally to his touch, and I bit my lip to keep myself from reacting in a way that would shame me.
Eventually, I gave in to the fact that he was forcibly removing me from the battlefield. The sun was rising and very few skirmishes were left. Most of the vampires had already escaped, had been killed, or were about to die with the coming daylight.
He carried me off to the chalet with intent. He didn’t put me down until he reached our bedroom. He was silent as he stripped me of my clothes. In a matter of moments, I went from feeling like a warrior on the battlefield to a blushing she-wolf about to be dealt with by her alpha.
He started with my shirt, tearing it off in one rapid motion. He made quick work of the rest of the clothes covering my body. He ripped them into tatters, but I didn’t much care because they were torn and stained with the blood of a countless number of vampires anyway.
Soon enough, I was standing in front of him in nothing more than a pair of white lacey underwear. He stared down at them and I fidgeted nervously.
“Did I give you permission to wear these, little wolf?” he asked, and I whimpered openly. His eyes were dark with promise, and I chewed my lip.
“No, alpha,” I whispered. My fingers intertwined together as I fidgeted. He approached me and slid his fingers around the back of my neck.
“Let me tell you what’s going to happen then, little wolf. I’m going to bathe you and then we’re going to go to bed. When we wake up, we will have breakfast and I will deal with your disobedience after that,” he growled.
My body pulsed with desire.
“What are you going to do to me?” I asked shakily.
“All you need to know, my beautiful mate, is that your pretty little asshole is going to be very sore after I’m through with you. It won’t be from your plug either. It will be from my cock,” he continued firmly, and my entire body clenched down in anticipation.
I swallowed hard. Even though I’d worn the plug for him a good deal, it still hurt when he put it in. I knew that his cock was thicker than my toy and it would probably hurt a lot more.
I opened my mouth several times, but nothing came out.
“Take off your panties for me. I want to see you bare that pretty little pussy for me,” he murmured seductively. My clit throbbed and I worried my bottom lip with my teeth.
Hesitantly, I slipped my fingers below the hem of my panties and slowly pushed them down my hips. Having to expose myself like this felt especially shameful. Would he allow me to wear clothes tonight? Would he make me stay naked?
He held out his palm expectantly. I stepped out of my underwear and placed it in his waiting hand. I shivered, watching him rearrange it so that the seat of my panties was visible. There was a wet spot there and I squirmed a little in shame.
“Oh, little wolf. I’m very much looking forward to taking your bottom tomorrow.
It would appear that you are too,” he said.
He snarled with his desire and a single drop of arousal rolled down my thigh.
With a knowing smirk, he placed my panties on top of his nightstand.
I licked my lips, and he took my hand in his.
He led me into the bathroom and readied the shower.
I didn’t fight him as he pulled me inside.
He shampooed my hair gently, taking care to massage my scalp.
I couldn’t keep myself from moaning in appreciation.
He took extra care to wash my body with a loofah, scrubbing off any evidence that we’d spent all night fighting vampires.
When he was done, he slicked conditioner through my hair.
I stood under the rain shower and rinsed while he washed himself beside me.
I peeked to see the soap running down his body. My body burned at the image of it.
I pressed up against him, very aware of the fact that his iron-hard cock was firmly between us.
“I don’t want to wait until morning,” I pouted. He grasped my upper arm and swiftly turned me around, landing several hard swats on my bottom. With my ass soaking wet, each one stung far more fiercely than I expected.
“You will rest tonight, little wolf. Keep resisting your alpha and you’ll end up very well paddled before you’re put to bed, very wet and very needy without coming for me at all,” he warned. His threat gave me pause.
“Please, alpha?” I tried instead. I wiggled my bottom, trying to entice him to take me.
He didn’t answer. He shut the water off and wrapped me in a towel before he grabbed one for himself. I followed him into the bedroom, grabbing my brush and taking it along with me. I brushed through my tangled wet hair, pouting a little in the process.
“Time for bed, little wolf,” he replied.
“But please?” I whispered.
“Do I need to get the wooden paddle?” he asked. His tone was no longer playful.
I swallowed hard and grabbed his fingers with mine. “No, alpha,” I murmured.
“That’s my good girl. You need your rest. I will not take your bottom for the first time when you can hardly keep your eyes open,” he answered, taking the towel and drying me off.
I put down my brush and he willfully carried me into bed.
He climbed in beside me and pulled up the covers.
I cuddled against him, and his fingers delved between my thighs.
He brushed them against my clit, and I had to stifle a moan.
“But I thought you wouldn’t,” I gasped.
“Hush and let me spoil you,” he demanded, and I arched into his touch. My body flared with fire and my orgasm slammed into me so fast that I saw stars.
“That’s right, mate. Come hard for me,” he purred, and I grasped onto him while I writhed beside him. I could hardly control the way my thighs were trembling. I moaned hoarsely, bright white light blinding me for what seemed like an endless display of incredible bliss.
When that orgasm finally ended, all of my remaining energy sapped away along with it. His fingers pulled away from my pussy and curled around my waist. He pressed a single kiss to my forehead. His lips made my skin tingle.
“Sleep now, sweet girl,” he whispered, but my eyes were already closing. I snuggled up against him, thankful to be in his arms once again.
I’d missed him.

When I woke, the sun was already setting again. I yawned, snuggling in closer to the safety of Elijah’s warmth. He groaned as I placed my cheek against his chest. I breathed in his scent and sighed happily, wanting to memorize the feeling of this moment forever.
I’d chosen him. I’d chosen my mate.
The pull of childhood dreams and the path that I thought I’d always take had paled under the power of my bonded mate. Fate had other ideas for me and now that I’d turned my back on my old life, I embraced it fully.
We belonged to each other, and no one would ever tear us apart.
“I know you’re awake, beautiful,” he said, and I snuggled in closer to him.
“No, I’m not,” I whispered, unable to stop myself from giggling a little.
“Naughty girl,” he chided, and his hand squeezed my bare bottom hard. He grunted as he massaged it and I pushed harder against him. Now that I was fully rested, my body was ready for him to take me, hard.
My stomach growled and I groaned out loud as he chuckled at the sound.
“Let’s get some food in you before I remind you who you belong to,” he said firmly, and I pouted. He saw my reaction and gently grasped my chin. My pussy pulsed as he looked down at me. His cock was rock hard against my belly.
“That pretty pout just earned you a dose of my belt. Keep it up, little wolf,” he declared firmly. My thighs pressed hard against each other. I bit my lip, keeping myself quiet.
“I’m going to freshen up now. If you’re not up and getting ready yourself by the time I’m out, then that little pussy is getting a spanking before we go down to breakfast,” he warned.
“Yes, alpha,” I whimpered.
“You are forbidden from wearing clothes. You will remain bare for me so that when I’m ready to fuck that pretty little bottom, all I have to do is bend you over and take it,” he murmured against my ear.
I shuddered hard. I didn’t tell him that my nipples pebbled almost instantly, and my pussy was dripping with excitement.
I squirmed, imagining what his big cock would feel like as it slid into my last virgin hole.
He kissed my forehead again before slipping from underneath the covers.
I whined at the sudden loss of his warmth.
I curled up in a ball before I stretched with a yawn.
I rubbed my eyes, listening to the sound of the water running in the bathroom.
With a reluctant groan, I climbed out of bed with a shiver and the door to the bathroom opened not long after.
He smirked, grasping me around the waist and clutching my pussy as if he owned it.
“Good girl. You will meet me downstairs in the kitchen when you’re finished,” he murmured.
When he finally released me, I was already panting with desire.
He smacked my ass lightly, causing it to jiggle.
My pussy practically spasmed at his touch.
Now fully blushing, I rushed into the bathroom and shut the door behind me.
I brushed my teeth, used the restroom, and splashed some water on my face. I dried myself off and went back into the bedroom to retrieve my hairbrush. I tamed my tangled case of bedhead, all while ignoring the constant throbbing of my clit.
The scent of cooking food spiraled up the stairs and I felt my cheeks heat with shame as I descended them still fully naked. I knew that there probably wasn’t anyone else here, but the possibility of it made me a little worried and horrendously aroused all the same.
