London and I looked towards the source of the voice. It was the beta of the werewolf nation, Judas, standing there with his eyes looking dark. I gasped when London was pulled away from me and Judas hugged her whilst burying his nose into her neck, inhaling her scent.
He pulled back and the dark look was slowly fading from his eyes.
Behind him, Alpha Mateo leaned on the wall with his arms folded as he watched the scene unfold in front of him. He glanced at me for a second before looking back to Judas and his mate– well London.
"I-I'm your mate?" She stuttered and Judas nodded, confirming her thoughts. She glanced at me and I gave her two thumbs up.
"Our stay is extended until tomorrow. We must inform Queen Athena of this decision." Alpha Mateo announced.
Just great.
"She's that way." I pointed in the direction in which we just came from and Alpha Mateo nodded.
Judas, London and I followed behind him and London strayed behind Judas to walk with me. She looked at me with wide eyes and I grinned at her.
"You found your mate." I whisper-yelled.
She nodded.
"And he's so hot, too! Like look at those muscles." London gushed and I laughed.
"He can hear you, you know." As if on cue, Judas looked around at London and winked at her.
London's cheeks went red and she looked down.
The walking suddenly came to a stop.
"Athenerrr, Miles." Alpha Mateo nodded at Miles in acknowledgment. "We're staying another day."
He didn't even ask.
Athena did mention that they're close friends so...
She nodded and Judas and London strolled away. London glanced at me before she left and I grinned. Alpha Mateo left, too, and Miles was still there.
"May I speak to you, your highness?" I asked her lowly, fixing my eyes on the ground. It's clear Miles didn't know she has a mate. If she did, we wouldn't be in this predicament — or maybe. I don't know.
Athena excused herself and Miles told her that they'd catch up later and she walked away.
When she was out of my sight, I looked up at Athena.
I didn't know what to say to her. All the thoughts I had before vanished when her red eyes stared into mine, affection swirling in her eyes.
"Yes, my love?"
Butterflies.
Don't fall for it.
"Make up your mind." I said to her.
"With what?" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion and confusion swirled in her pretty eyes.
"You and Miles." I snapped.
"Wha—"
"You don't think I see how flirty she is with you?
How she's always giggling and inching closer to you?
Even when you were having lunch with Alpha Mateo and Beta Judas.
The conversation only steered between you two.
They were hardly included and guess what, Athena?
Fucking guess. This isn't going to be another Diana situation so you," I jammed my finger in her chest, "pick!
I'm not going to get my ass beaten again because I'm involved with you. "
Her face fell at my words and she shook her head.
"I promise you it isn't what you see. She wasn't flirting with m—"
I squinted my eyes at her.
"Then what was she doing?" I mirrored an action when I trailed a finger down her shoulder onto her arm. "Isn't this a flirtatious touch or it doesn't counts because you're not paying it any mind?" I snapped and lowered my hand.
"Baby–"
I didn't let her finish as I shook my head and took a deep breath. She still didn't pick. She was defending her, trying to justify her actions.
She was blind.
"I'll take the few clothes I have in your room out and put them back to m—" Athena grabbed me roughly and she pushed me onto the wall.
She rested one of her hands above my head and the other holding me into wall by my waist.
"Listen to me." She spoke roughly. "I'm sorry if it seemed like I was entertaining her.
I have no intentions of ever pursuing something with Miles.
In the past, we had an ongoing relationship and that was then.
And don't you ever question whether I'm going to pick between you and someone else.
The answer will always be you. Always, Lauren. "
She took my hand and placed it on her chest.
"This heart beats for you and no one else." Athena muttered as she stared into my eyes deeply.
My eyes became glossy and I tried to blink my tears away but it only made them fall. I withered from her grasp on my wrist and walked out of our current position and wiped my eyes angrily.
"Talk to me, princess." Athena said softly from behind me.
I shook my head.
"Later."
I walked away but I was met with Athena in front of me.
"Don't walk away from me."
"Athena, I said later. I don't want to talk about it."
"And I said don't walk away from me. You're not leaving this spot until you tell me why you're crying."
"I want you to force me to stay."
I turned the other way and Athena growled from behind me. I thought she was going to do something crazy but she didn't. I went to the kitchen and then took up an apple, washed it and headed to her room.
I was serious when I said I wasn't going to stay there any longer, regardless if she chooses me or not.
How long would that decision be firm?
After arriving to her room, I searched for a bag before finding one in her closet. I threw the first thing I saw that belonged to me in the bag. The bag was ripped from my hand and I turned around to face Athena.
"What are you doing?" She hissed angrily at me.
"What does it looks like? I'm packing." I snapped and took up the bag once more.
"Why?"
"I'm going back to my room. Didn't you hear what I tell you downstairs or is your mind too filled with Miles to register it?"
"Why were you crying?" She ignored what I just said and went back to the previous thing.
"Does it matter, Athena?"
"Yes it does." She folded her arms and my eyes fell to the dress that she has on. It was the same one from earlier. Seeing it just made me angry all over again.
"You want to know why I was crying? This!
" I pushed my finger through the hole on her chest and pulled on it.
"You wear things like this and expect me to be okay with it while you're out there displaying everything, leaving nothing to imagine.
" I was almost yelling at her now, my voice raising with every three words.
"Don't raise your voice at me." She snapped.
"Don't use that tone on me." I snapped back at her.
Athena growled and she grabbed me by the throat and smashed her lips to mine. I didn't hesitate to kiss her back, the bag falling from my fingers. The kiss was filled with anger and desperation. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and she lifted me onto her waist as we kissed.
Athena placed her hands underneath my thighs as she held me on to her body, walking us to the closest wall.
She braced me onto it and thrust her tongue into my mouth.
I didn't hesitate to let her tongue have it's way in my mouth.
Her lips detached from mine and they kissed down my chin and onto my neck.
I moaned as she kissed my sweet spot, my fingers finding it's way to her hair.
Athena sucked on the spot harshly, probably going to leave a bruise there. Her lips moved from there to another spot and I tilted my head the opposite direction to give her access to my neck.
Hers.
I pulled her hair back and make her look up at me. Her eyes were a deep shade of a purple when she looked at me. I panted as I looked at her.
"No."
Athena hissed when my grip tightened on her hair and she let out a breath through her mouth.
"They're mine to see, Athena and I don't think you understand that." I said to her lowly. I pulled her hair back so that I had her full attention.
Athena let out a breath.
"I'm yours, baby." She breathed through the pain that I was inflicting on her scalp. "All yours."
"And I don't like to share, Athena."
"Let my hair go."
"Say please." I taunted with a smirk and she shocked me by actually repeating it.
"Please."
That should not have affected me like it did.
Oh my god.
WHEW—
I let go off her hair and rubbed her scalp soothingly. Athena still held me on the wall in the same position and I smiled at her.
"I think there's a way we can put this aside and make it known."
~
I laid down in the comfort of Athena's arms as she held me closely to her. Her skin pressed against mine and I smiled in her arms. I fixed my head so I looked up at her and she looked down at me.
"The next time you think of getting me wet and not do anything about it, I swear I'm spanking you red." My eyes widened at her threat and Athena growled.
"Y-you don't mean that."
"Yes I do, baby."
Oh, sweet heavens for I have sinned. Please forgive me.
I swallowed harshly and Athena smirked at my reaction. One of her hands trailed down to my ass that was covered by my shorts and cupped my cheek.
"I can already picture you crying and begging me to stop, that you're sorry and you won't do it again." Athena squeezed my ass and she trailed her arm back to my waist and up my body to my bra. "I find it unfair how you are clothed and I'm only in my panties."
She unclipped my bra and she the straps by unclipping them from the bra and removed it from my breasts. Athena threw the bra across the room so fast I almost missed it.
Her eyes fell on my breasts and she sat up so that she could look at me better.
"Fuck, you're so pretty."
HEH—
GIGGLATION—
My cheeks got heated and Athena smirked at me. She moved her hands down to unbutton my pants, keeping the eye contact whilst she did. I rolled my bottom lip between my teeth as I watched her.
She's so sexy.
I'd do anything for her.
Once my pants were removed, Athena straddled me and she leaned down to capture my lips in hers. I was already drenched from our previous makeout session and this was adding into it.
Her lips molded with mine, fitting perfectly together. Athena cupped one of my breasts and she gave it a gentle squeeze before running her thumb over my nipple that hardened underneath her touch.
She smirked in the kiss and she pulled back and looked down at me.
"I think I should leave some marks myself, hmm? What do you say, pretty girl?" I blushed at the name and nodded shyly.
Previously, I had left a few hickeys on her— her breasts and neck. Whoever she came across would know that she's off limits. I wish I could do something more other than leave hickeys on her but I'm just a mere human.
For once, I regretted being a human, something I couldn't control.
Athena moved down on my hips, her covered core brushing against mine, making me let out a whimper.
I need her touch.
Athena clasped her lips around my nipple as she held eye contact with me. I bit my lip as she started to suck on my nipple. Her tongue flicked over the bud, creating a pleasurable sensation to run through my body.
Her teeth dragged my nipple back as my back arched into her slightly. Pain and pleasure mixed sensations as they both ran through my body. I liked the feeling of both together.
It turns me on.
Athena smiled at me with my nipple in her mouth and she released it and left tender kisses on my flesh.
Sensitive nipples who?
