Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

I woke up and snuck out of Nikolas’s arms. For someone so hateful, he seemed to be holding on too tightly.

I also felt his c*oc*k poking my back. I gently pulled the sheets to see what he had underneath, and even though he had shorts on, I could tell the size was huge.

He was packing. I wondered if it would even fit. He stirred, and I got startled and dropped the sheets, then waited for him to wake up. While I waited, I snuck to his bathroom to use his mouthwash. I did not want my mouth to stink when I spoke to him, I did not know why it mattered, but I cared. I cared a lot. Nikolas did not wake up until thirty minutes later. He woke up and looked at me where I sat. I stood up immediately.

“I will leave now, I just wanted to discuss your mother’s feeding with you,” I said before he asked me to get out again, and he frowned. I guess I was talking too fast. It took a few seconds for him to figure out what I was saying.

He got off the bed and went to the bathroom. I could see his hard-on. I guess he did not care this time.

He spent at least thirty minutes there and returned wearing his bathrobe. Then he sat on his bed and looked at me. “What do you want?” he asked with a low voice, and a yawn followed, which made me yawn in return. I tried to control it, but I believe that thing was infectious.

“What do you want?” he asked me with a stern expression on his face.

“Men that can help me hold her and feed her. I also want them to get and prepare specific meals for her to be fed three times a day. We will start with soups and gradually move to solids, but everything will be blended so it goes into her system,” I said, and he sighed. “What if she is sedated?” He asked, and I nodded.

“Then I will spoon-feed her the soup blends and fruit mixes,” I said, and he looked at me.

“Remember what I warned you about, little girl. If anything happens to her, then you and your treacherous people will be in a mess,” he said. I frowned at him, wondering why he would use that word, but what offended me the most was him calling me a little girl.

“With all due respect, Alpha, I am a woman, and my name is Aliana,” I said, and he chuckled. I was offended. He made me feel stupid. I exhaled quietly, not wanting to overstep.

“Yet you can’t do what women do,” he said, and I was pissed off understanding his statement.

“You are the one unwilling to take what you want. Don’t blame me for it,” I said, and he pulled me back to the bed and placed me between his arms. Hovering over me, he growled to my face It was scary and arousing at the same time. His face inches from mine. His eyes stared deeply into mine.

He was indeed handsome.

He had perfect features. His eyes were sharp, his face was chiseled and contoured in the right places. His eyes had a tenderness he tried to mask. His breath was fresh mint. His l*ips parted slightly. I wanted to k*iss them. They looked that hot.

The familiar ache between my legs began, and I tried to close my thighs together, but he stopped me and rested his knee on the bed between them to keep them apart. He sniffed the air and looked at me. By then, my l*ips were parted.

I wanted something but could not say it because I felt guilty. I am not supposed to want this man. He was a monster, he stole my home and ridiculed my father. He stripped me of my honour, yet my body and Raven wanted him. Nikolas sniffed the air and smiled.

“Your body wants it,” he said, and I had no choice but to maintain eye contact and look back at him as if I felt nothing. He bent to k*iss my neck, and I bit my l*ips so I did not m*oa*n.

He held my hands together over my head with just one hand and reached into my pants with his other hand while maintaining eye contact. I gasped when he touched and parted my l*ips with his fingers, gently brushing my c*li*t. He closed his eyes and then opened them and stared at me intensely. He began to rub gently, and I was already coming apart.
