Chapter 76 - Desire
Her body shivered, and she raised her eyes to gaze at his face. "Yo-you're a vampire." Her heart clenched inside of her and she drew back more.
"No, I am not," Adrik answered in a low tone that held so much pain within it. "I am a werewolf." He glanced at her and pinched between his brows, a deep sigh leaving his lips.
He turned around and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.
Leia's heart pounded rapidly within her, and she stared at the bathroom door. All this time, she had been living with a beast, a non-human. But... why isn't she feeling angry or as scared as she should be? Why is her heart hurting at the sight of the pain in his eyes instead of flying into a rage?
Her eyes fluttered, and different memories began to play in her mind. Adrik held her to sleep. That day, under the heavy rain, he came to bring her home by himself. He cooked breakfast for her. He took bullets for her. And he confessed his love to her in a way that she never imagined any man would ever do, in her entire life.
He did things for her that no one ever did for her. He loved her more than anyone did, and he was always there for her, ready to protect her and do anything for her.
He took all her bullshit and never once mistreated her. He truly loved her.
Were beasts better than humans? If a beast loved her this way, why be afraid? Why think of consequences? He had proven his love to her in many ways, and she too had fallen for him.
Her heart was not easily shaken, but he unlocked it and had her fall head over heels for him.
She loves him and wants to be with him, and for that reason, she would not reject him. She will accept him and be with him because she has fallen for him, and that states the fact that she will be with him and no one else, no matter what. Even if he is a beast.
A deep breath escaped Leia's nose, and she slowly stood up from the floor. She began to walk towards the bathroom door, and she shut her eyes as another deep breath left her lips.
She grabbed the knob and slowly turned it, opening the door wide. Her eyes lifted and fell on Adrik, who was staring at himself in the mirror in the bathroom.
At her notice, he turned around and his eyes blinked in confusion when he saw her walking towards him.
Leia stood in front of him and gazed up into his green eyes. She reached out her hand and stroked his scarred cheek. "I love you, Adrik."
"Leia-"
"Shhh." She hushed him up by placing her finger on his lip and tucking a strand of his hair behind his ear. She rose to her tiptoes and kissed his lips gently but passionately.
Adrik's mind went into chaos at her actions and words, and he couldn't help but think he was hallucinating.
Why is she acting this way? Wasn't she supposed to freak out, call him a monster, and at worst, run away from him? Why is she telling him she loves him and that he's hers? Is this real?
He gazed at her face and Leia wrapped her arms around his neck, letting him know how much she wanted him, and that's she's willing.
His lips slammed against hers, and his large hand cupped her cheek.
A low growl reverberated from his throat, throbbing against her lips, and she couldn't help but pull him closer, deepening the kiss.
His hands traveled down and rested on her hips, then he grabbed her thigh and carried her up from the floor.
Leia wrapped her legs around his waist, still not breaking away from the passionate kiss, and he gently laid her down on the bed.
"Tell me to stop whenever you want to." She responded with a nod of her head, and he moved his hand to the side of her dress and unzipped it.
He kissed her neck down to her shoulder and nipped at her collarbone. Leia's mind felt clouded as she loved every peck and kiss. This was the first time she was going to experience it, and nothing gave her more joy than knowing she was going to experience it with Adrik, the only man her heart opened up to.
Adrik slowly pulled her dress down, removing everything she wore completely without hesitation. He drew back a bit so he could see all of her, and his eyes burned into her skin, setting her on fire.
Leia"s cheek turned a shade of pink from his burning gaze, and she reached out her hand to cover herself, but Adrik was quick to grab her hands and pin them on the bed.
"Don't cover yourself, little wife. I want my eyes to savor every inch of your body. I want my mind to take a picture of your perfection." He brushed his lips against hers and smiled ever so gently at her.
"You're so beautiful, little wife." His burning eyes roamed every ounce of her body and his hands grazed from her shoulder down to her breast. He grabbed one of them in his hand and rolled her nipples between his fingers.
Leia's body wriggled beneath him, and her back arched as she felt immense pleasure. "A-adrik..." A soft moan escaped her pretty lips when he took one of her breasts in his mouth and bit, licked, and sucked hungrily on it. His other hand grabbed her left breast and pinched her erected nipple.
"Ah... Oh my." She couldn't stop moaning as his wild touch sent flames down her body and rested in between her legs.
He traveled back up and kissed her lips, biting softly on her lower lip.. A soft moan escaped her throat, and she pressed herself up against him, telling him how much she needed him, how badly she craved him.
