A MAZE OF GREED

WARNING: A STEAMY CONTENT AHEAD.

***************************** ​​

An unfamiliar tornado rose in Thea's pit, and all her senses got clouded with lust and need. Her whole body was on fire, and Rees presented a way to get the release she was begging for!

"Yes! I want you, Rees. I want my mate to mark me. I want you both... I want you both!" She screamed breathily when the pressure inside of her crossed the limits of bearing.

That was all Rees needed. He growled in excitement and with a single swift motion, picked Thea up from the ground. This time she was not surprised because she was too lost in untangling the mesh of her haywire thoughts that she didn't mind anything that Rees had in his mind.

His feet padded on the ground in the direction of Thea's bedroom, where he had previously taken a shower to wash the bloodstains from his body.

The room was dimly lightened by the lamps on both sides of her bed. The small window in her room was closed with a curtain drawn to obstruct the inner view from the outsiders.

The wooden bed was not too large, but it was enough to accommodate their entangled bodies.

Rees had picked Thea bridal style, and during that time, his hands had left the touch of her sensitive spot. Instead of getting temporary relief, Thea felt frustrated at the loss of his warm touch down there.

She wanted him to touch her or do something to get her the release, or else she thought she would scream her lungs out in frustration or go insane.

Rees was well aware of his mate's thoughts, and the sweet scent of her arousal had ignited his carnal feelings more than ever. His wolf wanted to take complete control and show her who she belonged.

But Rees's human form was still not ready to put down his weapon. He was still fighting with his beast for the sake of his mate. He didn't want to scare or hurt her, and he was ready to fight his inner demon to protect her.

As soon as Rees neared the bed, he threw Thea's breathless figure on the soft bed. Peeking through her hooded eyes, she saw a thin layer of perspiration on Rees's wide forehead.

His body was tensed to the point that every vein in his body had made its appearance under his skin. His breaths were laboured, and Thea could never guess how much effort he had to put in to keep his wolf under control.

Rees's brownish-black eyes took in Thea's form from head to toe greedily. Her hair sprawled on the pale blue bedsheet of her bed. Her eyes hooded with passion burning behind her orbs.

Her round face was flushed in a pretty shade of pink as if she had put on a paste of pink rose petals on her pale skin. The skin of her left shoulder was on a display that was covered with red marks of his skilled mouth.

Her white dress had ridden up to her knees, showing her smooth legs. And at that moment, she looked no less than a goddess to Rees's eyes.

And this beautiful woman was his mate!

Without wasting more time, he bent down to capture her soft lips in his. Thea parted her mouth, welcoming the hungry beast. This kiss was nothing like the ones they had shared before. It was passionate and demanding that soon turned into a brutal one.

No matter how much Rees tried, his wolf snatched the control for some time. He bit down onto her lower lip, drawing little blood from the wound that tasted as sweet as an elixir.

His wolf hummed in bliss while Thea had lost her senses to react to the slight pain. She hungrily devoured the taste of her mate's mouth by exploring every corner of it with her tongue. The pace of the kiss was insane, and the adrenaline that rushed into her system was something that she had never experienced before.

Was this how the kiss of want felt? If yes, then the romantic stories that she had read in her teenage years didn't lie at all.

Rees's hand slipped into her long hair, and he tugged them from the back of her head to make her arch her head. Leaving her mouth for a while, he travelled down on her throat while sucking and licking her delicate skin.

Thea closed her eyes, her hands gripped his hair tightly. She bent backwards to offer him more space to perform his mastery. Smiling against her skin, Rees bit on her collarbone that made Thea hiss.

"Oh, Rees!"

She gasped when Rees tore her dress, leaving her completely naked in his arms. His darkened eyes stared down at the most enchanting sight that he had ever seen.

But when Thea opened her eyes to see his intense gaze on her chest, she realised how vulnerable her state was. Her hands instantly came to rescue her from his intensive stare.

Not able to meet his eyes in embarrassment, she turned her head to the other side.

"Don't hide yourself from me!" Goosebumps formed on her skin after hearing that animalistic voice of his.

Thea wanted to cover her body with something, but she was trapped in between Rees's strong thighs. Even if she tried to get free, it would not take him even a second to react and cage her again.

She knew that being a werewolf, he had sharper reflexes than an average human.

Rees's wolf was angry at her for hiding herself from him, but Rees's human form was still there to coax her.

"Thea, please. You don't have to hide your body from me, love. I am your mate."

His normal voice made her look back at him, but Rees could see the uncertainty in her eyes.

"I... I..."

Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, Rees asked, "What is it?"

Gulping down her saliva to moisten her dried throat, Thea answered. "I... am feeling shy!"

Rees smiled at her words. "I know that you are feeling shy and this is the first time a man is watching you in this state. But let me tell you one thing, love... I consider myself lucky to be that first and the only man."

"Rees..." Thea was stunned at his gentle words.

"Yes, Thea. I am not saying this only to convince you, but I am saying the words that come from my heart. There are millions of women in the world, but the Moon Goddess has blessed me with the most beautiful and loving woman.

If you still do not feel comfortable with this then we can stop-"

"No!" She was quick to respond with wide eyes. "I mean, It may take me some time to get comfortable but I don't want you to stop." She mumbled with a tinge of red on her face.

Rees gave her a long look. "Are you sure about this, Thea? I don't want to mark you without or half-hearted consent of yours."

They had talked about this over the days. Thea was nervous and confused. She was lost in her thoughts all the time that she didn't realise the happenings around her. She became quiet and couldn't share this with anyone... not even with Ruth.

She knew that Rees would not take a step ahead without her consent, and she was glad that she had got such an understanding partner. But she was also aware that the marking should have to be done sooner or later.

And after everything that she had witnessed over these past days, she knew that it was no turning back for her.

"I am sure about this Rees. I want you to mark me tonight!"

The sincerity in her eyes removed the doubt from Rees's mind. He held both of her hands in his and slowly moved them away from her chest. His eyes were stuck to Thea's face to watch her reaction.

When she didn't protest, his eyes slowly trailed down to her chest but they soon widened in amazement. His lips parted a little and he couldn't move his eyes from the two mountains of flesh with a deep, narrow valley between them.

Thea waited patiently to let him say something with shyness still lingering in her mind.

Rees slowly ran the back of his hand from her collarbone to her chest to the side of her left globe. A shiver ran down Thea's spine at his featherlike touch but she was not the only one with such an extraordinary effect.

Still in his daze, Rees covered the two globes of flesh gently in his palms as if they were made up of glass. But as soon as the cushiony bosoms felt soft in his hold, he couldn't help but squeeze them tightly.

"Aaahhhh...."

The scream from Thea's mouth encouraged him further and he continued kneading and squeezing her globes in his large palms.

When he had touched them in the kitchen a few minutes ago, he had not expected that they would feel more amazing without any barrier of clothes.

Not able to control anymore, his mouth hungrily captured her right bouncy breast in his hot mouth and started sucking on to her erected nipple. His tongue rolled around the needle-like pointed tip that made Thea throw her head back with heavy breaths.

"Oh God!"

Not hiding any attention to her cries, Rees kept sucking and biting on her flesh and his hand kept torturing her other breast.

The feeling was unfamiliar, the pleasure was undeniable and Thea wanted more and more of it.
