BENEATH HER DARKNESS: The Alpha’s Little Demon Chapter 97
097 – Let It Stay
BLADE.
“Can I taste you?” I asked, letting my breath fan against her face.
“I hope you mean my pussy, not my lips.” She answered without opening her eyes.
A smug grin curled on my lips before I captured her lips, and she whimpered in defiance,
but I didn’t let her go. My fingers were still stroking in and out of her as I let my mouth
devour her sweet
and soft lips.
Enter title…
She moved her body and was about to turn around and straddle me when I let go of her
and hoisted her up in the air and guided her to sit on the ground. In seconds, I was able
to rip her underwear and yank her legs up as I kneeled in front of her. I positioned her
arms to coil around the back of her knees and pressed her legs closer to her chest
before I leaned forward and swiped my tongue on her leaking folds up to her clit.
Euphoria. I couldn’t explain how I was feeling, but Althea — she tasted so fucking good
that if I died after this, I would die satisfied.
I sucked and nibbled on her clit for a while before returning my attention to her pussy
while still holding her thighs up. I was eating her out loudly and sloppily. My face was
covered with the mixture of her juices and saliva, but I didn’t mind.
“Shit! Shit!” She was holding on to her thighs tightly as she balanced herself so she
wouldn’t tip over.
I tilted my head up to look her straight in the eyes as my tongue penetrated her and
began tongue fucking her. Her face was tinted with red as her eyes glowed dark purple,
and lust was swirling around them.
She looked innocent yet alluring, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Her body stiffened. I wanted her to come in my mouth, so I slipped two fingers inside her
and let them continue where my tongue left off while I sucked her pussy lips hard; I was
sure they would be swelling once I was done with them.
A wanton moan escaped her throat as her hands flew to my head, pressing it deeper into
her core. Instead of slowing down to let her enjoy her orgasm, I fucked her even harder
with my fingers while my mouth licked and lapped on her juices. 1
Althea squirmed around and tried to push me away, but I didn’t let her go and continued
with my assaults until her body shuddered one more time, and thin jets of liquid sprayed
out of her.
“Shit! Shit!” Her eyes widened in shock while my mouth twitched into a smirk as I rubbed
my palm against her still- sensitive pussy, slapping it from time to time, making more
liquid shoot out of her.
She eventually let her back drop on the ground as I began licking her up and down,
cleaning the mess I made out of her until I realized she began breathing steadily.
I tilted my head up and looked at her, and I couldn’t help the smile from gracing my lips.
The little witch fell asleep. She passed out.
But my smile was wiped out the moment my gaze fell on her marked neck.
Sooner or later, I would face her wrath. I hoped I would be able to find a way to convince
her to let the mark stay, because there was no way I would give her a rejection. Not yet.
Not now.
♡♡♡
ALTHEA.
My eyes fluttered, but I hadn’t opened them yet. Instead, I scooted onto the warmth that
enveloped me. Despite sleeping in an upright position, I found myself so comfortable that
I wanted to sleep a little more.
Warm arms were holding me as my sides leaned on a hard body, and from the musky,
earthy scent that reached my nose, I knew it was Blade I was leaning on.
I suppressed the smile from my lips because I decided I wanted to sleep more.
“Are you awake now?” His deep baritone voice echoed around the car.
I guess I couldn’t hide this from him. I snapped my eyes open and bobbed my head
before leaning away from his body.
My gaze fell on my clothes. I had new clothes now, and I assumed it was him
who dressed me up. If this were another day, I would be embarrassed and demand an
explanation, but since I just opened my legs and acted like a wanton in front of him
earlier, I didn’t think I had the right to be mad about it. Besides, this was better than the
ripped clothing I had earlier. 1
Blade remained quiet as I let out a deep sigh, and my hand automatically went to my
neck because I felt a tinge of pain there, only for me to rub the wounds that were still
sensitive at the moment.
“Ouch…” I hissed lowly, and our eyes met. Only then did I remember that he had marked
me in the middle of the chaos earlier.
I saw regrets cross his eyes, and it pained me. Did he regret marking me? Of course.
Mate bonds are sacred to werewolves.
“You marked me.”
“I had to. I have to stop them from attacking you. Every full moon, as long as you are
unmarked, your heat will attract unmated males. What happened earlier… that would be
the scene every full moon if you don’t have that mark?”
That was, of course, the only reason he would mark me.
I inched further away from him, my body almost touching the door on my side, as I
crossed my arms against my chest and stared at the view outside my window.
“I was left with no choice. I killed my own people, Althea. I didn’t want more blood. He
was still trying to explain more, and
I just wanted him to stop.
“It’s not my fault I went into heat. And I’m sorry he’s dead. I could have knocked him off
with my spell, but of course, you just need to come and save the day.”
I knew I should be thankful, but everything he was saying now and the words he told me
in the forest kept coming back into my head.
He stated that he had not touched a female in years, and I was sure the last one was his
mate. He was still not over her, and despite his claims that I was his Goddess’ second
chance mate for him, I would never be in comparison to her. So whatever happened
between us was just because he felt guilty about bringing this up to me.
How can we take it off?” I finally dared to ask. I straightened up from my position and
looked at him, trying to mask the real emotions inside me.
“Do you want the mark gone?”
“What will I do with it? Wear it as a medal and show off that I have a mate, but in reality, I
am still alone.”
“Rejection. If we reject each other, the mark will fade soon, and then it will be gone.
Forever.”
“So what are you waiting for? Say the rejection so I can accept it.” My heart clenched,
but I kept a straight face.
“I can’t. If I reject you, I might lose my wolf.”
“What do you mean?”
“When my first mate died, I thought I would die too or I would lose Buck. Buck is my
wolf’s name.” He leaned forward and rested his arm on his knees before he continued.
“But we survived. But I don’t think we can if you reject us.
Of course. It had to be the only reason he didn’t want this mark gone. Just for him and
his wolf.
“So we’re just going to force this relationship to save your wolf?”
“No. I would never force you. That forced mark would be the last sin I would commit
against you. Just let me live a little longer with my wolf.”
“I’m still confused. Can you tell me exactly what you plan to do?”
“Can you let the mark stay? It will protect you from every full moon.”
“And then?” I asked, my brows hiking up.
“I will not bother you… I will go away.
I was hoping he would tell me he would stay with me, and maybe we could figure out
what to do.
My lips quivered. But before I ended up bawling in tears, I snapped at him to save myself
from the embarrassment. “What am I supposed to do with your mark?
How am I supposed to live with this? I’m a marked female now. I might not be a werewolf
but I am sure shifters would see me as one. And what if I want to date someone or get to
know someone else? You’re trapping me into a life you’re not willing to share with me!
This is just unfair!”
“I will not trap you with me… If the day comes that you find a guy you like, we can do the
rejection.”
“So as long as I’m single, I will carry this mark?”
“Please, for my wolf.”
“And what will happen if I fall in love with someone else?”
“I will remove the mark.”
“And then I will be guilty if you end up dead?”
“Maybe by then, my wolf and I would be stronger. Either way, maybe death is better
than…” He didn’t continue, so I threw another question.
“And where will I find you when I have no idea where you are?”
“I will find you!” He said almost immediately.
My eyes squinted in annoyance. How on earth would he know I already wanted to settle
down if we were apart from each other? I was about to open my mouth to ask him when
he began talking again.
“I will feel it if you get intimate with someone… If it becomes constant, then I know it is
time to take off the mark.”
“You’re impossible, you’re talking in riddles, and I don’t have time for that!”
“That mark on your neck. And the mate bond between us will let me know if you kiss or
become intimate with someone. I will have marks appear here…” His fingers trailed on
his wrist, which had a large healed gash on it before his hand went to clutch his heart.
“And I will feel a pain here.”
“How about me? If you do the same, will I feel it too?”
“I can guarantee you that I will not touch anyone as long as you carry my mark. My only
request is for you to let it stay there. Buck and I will be forever grateful. When the time
comes that you’re ready to settle down, I will wholeheartedly take it off.”
I didn’t answer, but I took my eyes off him and turned my body toward the window,
resting my head on it as the car continued to drive in full silence.
Tears kept pooling in my eyes, and I was doing all I could to stop them from falling.
There were so many things on this that were so unfair, and I felt like I had no say in
them.
“We’re almost at the cottage where Alpha Stone is staying.” Dalton broke the silence in
the car.
“Drop her off, and when everything is clear, drive me out of the territory.”
“Are you not going to see your brother? He had been sending people to look for you.”
Brother. He had a brother, and it looked like he and Dalton knew each other. I wanted to
ask, but I knew I didn’t have any right to anything that had to do with his private life, so I
just kept my mouth shut.
“I don’t have any business here.”
“Just give him thirty minutes of your time. He wants to talk with you badly, and if he finds
out I got you and let you go away without seeing him, I’m sure he won’t be impressed.”
Dalton added, and Blade didn’t even bother to reply.
