Forged in the Flames by Karima Sa'ad Usman

Nikolas POV.

Aliana and I had dinner together while she told me about her adventure in the market. I t matched most of what the Kappa had said.

I was very pissed off with the FootLock traders, and I planned to withdraw their privileges the next day. They would know better than to disrespect Aliana next time. Their actions had just further proven that m y mother was right about them.

They were supposed to see Aliana as their hero. They were supposed to shower her with love and gratitude. Instead, they acted stupidly towards her.

I was grateful that Alinana wasn’t a pushover and that she could stand her ground against the stupid market werewolves.

“Have you thought of a hobby?” I finally asked her, and she nodded.

“We plan to volunteer at the werewolf clinic to help the sick,” She said, and I paused to study her. I had instructed her to find a hobby and not a job. Why would she want to stress herself?

“Why would you choose something stressful?” I asked her, and she smiled at me. “It isn’t. I do not want to sit idle, waiting for you to return. If I find a hobby, like reading, knitting, quilting, or pottery, I will still miss you. I need something that would occupy me mentally and physically,” she said and got up. She cleared the table, placed the food tray outside, and locked the door.

We showered together, and I took her in the shower. After a very stress-filled and eventful day, love was enough to help me relax and appreciate what I had.

Aliana responded to my t*ouch beautifully, and I knew I could never give it up. There was nowhere in my world I would find love a s good as I had with Aliana. Secret or not, what we had was unique.

We returned to the room to continue our fun when my mother tried to link me; I blocked the mind link immediately.

She should know she had no business linking me at the time she was linking me.

Whatever she had to discuss with me would be addressed the next day. The rest of the night was for Aliana.

It had been a long time since I tasted Aliana, so I went between her legs to show her how willing I was to please her. She ran her

f*ingers through my hair, twisting in bed, feeling every bit of the pleasure I gave her. I placed my f*ingers in her, and I felt her p*uss*y walls squeezing it. My c*oc*k was h*ard, and wanting to get inside her badly, but I controlled myself.

I felt her come, and I looked into her eyes. There was love and Lust in them, which

mirrored what I felt. Staring d*eep into her eyes, I pumped my f*ingers into her. I wanted to see what my love did to her. She tried to look away, but I made her look at me.

“Nikolas,” She moaned, edging closer to another release just how I wanted it. I increased the pace of my f*ingers, and I felt her p*uss*y clench violently. I stopped because I wanted to delay her orgasm.
