Contract With The Alpha King by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 44

Fiona and Elijah settled into the cozy room, a warm glow emanating from the fire. The flickering flames danced, casting gentle shadows on the walls. They sat close on the couch, a bottle of wine perched on the table beside them, glasses in hand. The air was thick with a

comfortable silence, both lost in their thoughts, savoring the moment.

Fiona glanced at Elijah, his profile illuminated by the firelight. She noticed how relaxed he appeared, yet there was an intensity in his gaze that made her heart flutter. After a few moments, she broke the silence. "Do you want more wine?" she asked, her voice soft. Elijah turned to her, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "I want more than wine," he replied, his voice low and inviting.

Before she could respond, he leaned in closer. Their lips met in a gentle kiss, soft and tender as if they were savoring the moment's sweetness. It was everything Fiona had dreamed of-full of warmth and longing..She melted against him, feeling a spark ignite deep within her.

Elijah deepened the kiss, his hands moving to cradle her face. With a subtle shift, he pushed her back onto the couch, his body hovering over hers. The world around them faded as their kiss became more urgent, a mix of passion and need awakening inside her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer, lost in the intoxicating connection they shared.

Every kiss and caress felt like a promise to support each other. Then she felt his hand on her hips as he gently untangled her robe. The heat in Fiona's stomach intensified as his lips trailed kisses down her neck. His hand began massaging the skin just below her breast, slowly, gently, as if he were scared that she would somehow break.

"Elijah..." she let out a moan as his lips finally captured her nipples.

"Shhhh...." He silenced her with his finger. "Tonight..." he mumbled before he started licking the tip of her hardened nipples. She could feel his gaze burning toward her face, but she was too intoxicated, too drunk on his touch to meet his eyes. So she kept her eyes shut as he added, "You are mine.".

Fiona woke up in an empty bed, stretching her limbs before frowning at the pain in her lower body. Her back hurt, and her legs felt sore. She wanted to complain about it but ended up grunting instead. She had already told Elijah not to tire her out, especially with her work at the infirmary the next day, but he hadn't listened. She thought about how stubborn he could be Didn't he realize she needed to be functional?
