Page 204 of A Female Alpha for the Lycan Prince

We grudgingly return to shuffling boxes around until Harmony asks, “When are you two leaving on your trip?” she asks us.

“I’m stealing your Alpha away on Friday,” Marius explains, surprisingly earnest. He always acts a little more serious around Harmony, probably well aware that she is still wary of him. She isn’t disrespectful in any way, but she’s my best friend and beta, and saw me at my worst when I thought I couldn’t handle the mate bond anymore.

“Garret and Elias will join us on the mountain path,” I add. I don’t know where Marius is taking me, but I know we are traveling to a mountain, and we can’t go all the way by car. Garret and Elias will follow us to that point, then guard the area while we head up a bit further. “Meanwhile, you and Marcel will keep the pack running smoothly.”

After we return from this trip, Marius will wrap up his work at Red Claw before moving to my pack and joining us permanently. I won’t deny that I’m more than a little excited for that to happen.

It’s evening by the time we finish, and I send everyone away to grab some dinner. It’s just Marius and me remaining. He comes closer, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into his body. “I’ve missed you,” he whispers.

I wrap my arms around his neck. “We’ve been together all day,” I smile.

His grip tightens. “It’s just… every day I’m shocked that this is my life now. And every day, I’m scared I will wake up to discover it was all just a dream.”

“It isn’t a dream,” I say seriously. “You carry my mark, Marius. Yes, things might still be a bit weird for us, but my mind is set. I didn’t just mark you because you brought me my mother’s necklace. And I certainly didn’t mark you because of the mate bond. I marked you because I love you. The mate bond was the reason I gave you a second chance, but not the reason for my decision.”

“I want to be perfect for you,” he admits.

“No one can be perfect,” I tell him. “There will be times when we will argue and be upset at each other, and that’s okay.”

He tilts his head. “Let’s promise to never walk away from each other in anger. Let’s try to communicate instead. I don’t think I could handle it if you walked away.”

I nod. I share his sentiment. He hates the feeling of being left, and so do I.

He sighs. “Still, no matter what you say, I feel like I got lucky and won the mate lottery.”

I grin. “Well, then, let’s make our wolves lucky too!”

“Oh goddess, yes,” Marius nods. “Cyrus keeps prancing and walking around in my mind, calling out for Danica nonstop. Why did I get such a bone-headed wolf!?”

I snort. “Yeah, I wonder…”

“Very funny,” he pretends to be offended, but then chuckles.

Staring deep into his dark brown eyes, I feel like I’m drowning in them. His gaze is so intense, looking deep into my own eyes, and I can feel his heart rate increasing. Now that we are marked, I’m feeling his presence so much more. His aura is engulfing me in his intensity. It should be scary, but instead, it feels so… warm and safe. I reach out, entangling my fingers at the nape of his neck before pulling him into a kiss. He grabs my waist, pushing me back until I gently bump into my office desk and sit down on it. My eyes roll back as I feel him start kissing and licking at my marking spot. “Let’s have some fun before letting our wolves out,” I whisper. “They will have the rest of the night together.”

I promise Danica. Afterward, he is all yours.

You go girl,she laughs.But keep your promise.

Marius smirks, lifting me up to tug my pants off. I love how impatient he can be. Two can play this game, I think, impatiently tugging at his belt and button before sliding his pants down. His erection pokes at my entrance causing a moan to leave my lips. I don’t bother undressing him fully. I want it quick and dirty, but I do unbutton his shirt enough to touch his incredible chest. I just love how his skin feels beneath my fingertips.

“Celine,” he breathes out as he enters me in one swift movement. I move my fingers up, one hand brushing through his hair, the other clinging to his shoulder. “Fuck, you’re so hot.”

“You too,” I moan, feeling him rock against me, his erection filling me deeply. “Harder.”

Marius picks up the pace, his hips thrusting forward in long, hard thrusts, making me shiver all over from the intensity. I want more of this feeling. Taking his hand into mine, I guide it under my shirt. His hand pushes upward, freeing my breasts from my bra. His callused fingers brush over my nipples teasingly before he takes one of them between his fingers and twists. The sensation makes me gasp into our kiss. His other hand leaves my hips and slips under my ass. Lifting me up so he can bury his dick even deeper inside me.

He sucks at my neck before moving down to start licking my mark with his tongue. Jolts of ecstasy run through my body driving my nails deeper into his back. “Fuck,” He both curses and moans. He throws his head back, giving me the perfect angle to take control of the movement.

His hand leaves my nipples and grasps the back of my head. The battle for dominance turning us both on. I clench my inner muscles, squeezing his cock hard in anticipation of my orgasm. “One day,” he pants. “You will allow me to have control.”

I smirk, biting down on his shoulder softly. “Don’t pretend like you don’t love this.”

“I absolutely do. Fuck Celine, you are so hot when you’re in charge.” He thrusts his hips forward roughly, trying to push me over the edge. “But as much as I love it when you lead, having you on all fours as I pound my dick deep inside of you is going to be a gift.”

“You never know,” I whisper, licking over his mark again. “Anything could happen on our trip.”

The promise alone pushes him over the edge. He comes, filling me to the brim with his seed. The feeling pushes me over the edge, and I come shortly afterward, my body shivering as I sink into his arms. Marius remains inside me while his strong arms hold me to his chest.
