Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 43

I swallow roughly as I follow Colette into the room, her hand in mine, leading me after Caspian sent everyone to their respective rooms for the time being. No one is allowed out until he has a chance to talk with each person individually. Which means I am locked in a room alone with the only person who makes me nervous now that

she has made her demands.

Colette tugs on my hand, but I resist her as she tries to pull me further into the room, the door just closing behind me as I look at her. Shit, she is stunning. She carries an air of determination, nervousness swirling in her deep brown eyes, but I can sense she is resolute.

Colette is putting her foot down. She is making this demand and even with it coming from her; I feel...hesitant that this is something she wants. This is a game we've been playing for so damn long already. She asks. I refuse even though I crave it, too.

"We don't have to do this now," she whispers, taking a step toward me.

"Is this what you want?" I ask her and she drops her gaze from me. Her dainty hands come before her and she fiddles with her fingers.

"It is what must be done." She murmurs. My skin itches to caress her as I reach out and lift her chin with my fingers. I capture her eyes with mine, ensuring she sees me.

"I have done nothing but continually fuck up where you are concerned." I tell her, my mouth going dry, when tears form in her eyes. "There is nothing, no reason, for you to force yourself to do this. In every way you are my Luna. A bite mark in the heat is passion does not negate that."

She frowns, then she takes another step closer so our bodies are near pressed together and she sighs heavily. Colette leans forward, her forehead pressing to my chest as her arm slides around my back and she hugs me.

A simple action. Something so small, yet it feels mountainous as my emotions spring forward and I just need to hold her. My arms slide around her body, taking the time to appreciate how much full her body has gotten since I'd first held her in my pack.

Colette had been sickly, a weak and thirsty hybrid. One needing water and care, neither of which she got. But since moving with me, since being here and learning her new skills...she has more meat on her bones. A deeper cube to her hips, fuller breast, and even a softness to her stomach that I want to rest my head on.

No longer is Colette a weak, scared girl. She is a strong, wise and humble Luna who always puts other first. And she is mine, truly meant to be mine. Even with all my fuck ups, even with all my resistance... she knows. She feels it; I hope.

"Merikh." She whispers. I glance down at her as she lifts her head and looks up. My heart stutters in my chest and the air feels thin. "I'm still so mad at you..."

"I know," I murmur, unable to not touch her face as I reach and stroke her cheek with my right hand, my left holding her close, refusing to let her run away just yet.

"I have stipulations for us marking each other." She swallows roughly.

"Anything." I rush out, not caring at all about what she demands of me.

"I want it to be done in water." She says.

My brows come together in confusion, imagining a heated moment in the shower. The drops cascading down her bare breasts as I lap at them, her legs wrapping around my waist as I hoist her up and enter her. Yeah, this request sounds easy enough.

"Yes," I rush out a little too eagerly. She grins and shakes her head.

"In healing waters," she clarifies, then she takes a deep breath. "There is a bathing chamber, one meant for just siren use. Only my father has the key and he has given it to me."

"I already told you, whatever your request is, I will meet it." I remind her. And I fully intend on meeting every request she makes. Admittedly, I am more excited about the healing waters than the shower sex. Though shower sex will indeed be in our future. Many, many times.
