Chapter 18 - Meeting the pack
Alice
I hugged myself and took a few short deep breaths, as Lucian left to shower. My nipples were incredibly sensitive, I was fuming and turned on all at the same time!
Only someone like Lucian could do both, making me angry and horny at the same time. I got dressed and was contemplating what to do with myself when he emerged from the shower shirtless and wearing a pair of pyjama pants. Darn it! I thought.
"Well, are you ready yet?" He asked casually while I tried not to stare drool or lunge at him.
"I am ready," I replied.
He stared at me for a few seconds, then strode towards me.
"You are going to drive all the males crazy down there, you reek of arousal." He said, with a taut face.
"I..... I can't help it," I mumbled incoherently.
"Yes, you can, but you are stubborn," he replied, then ran his hand through his hair.
He smelled wonderful, musky with a hint of mint. His wet hair was falling on his forehead and I had an urge to push them behind, but of course! I refrained.
"Should I take a shower?" I asked.
"Are you even a wolf?" He asked, rolling up his eyes.
"Come here," he commanded.
Before I could understand, he grabbed me and pressed his lips on mine. I felt myself back into the wall as he pressed himself fully against my body. His skin felt so...good.
His pant-clad erection hit just above my mound, digging into the soft flesh of her stomach. It was not a ravaging kiss, simply comforting.
I wrapped my hands around his neck and my mouth opened magically when his tongue grazed my lips, allowing him to deepen the kiss.
Slowly, he began to thrust his tongue in and out of my mouth, sensuously rubbing it against mine. His hands slid down my neck, behind my neck to thread his fingers into my hair, the other travelling slowly down, pausing at my breasts, tweaking them making them, achingly aware of him.
Despite my plan to be aloof, his kiss ignited a deep hunger in me and provoked the wolf within. Maybe, it was my wolf forcing me to respond... I did not care. My mind was too woozy. His hand slid further down to wrap possessively around me, crushing me into him even more. His lips trailed down my neck, leaving a blazing fire wherever it went.
I struggled to form a thought, let alone keep one. Automatically, I started, rubbing myself against his thigh. Understanding my unspoken need, he hitched my left leg to wrap around his hip. Leaning into me, he ground himself.
I gasped when I felt his hand going inside the waistband of my track pants. I quickly attempted to escape the suggestive position we were in. This was getting out of hand.
But it was not feasible to escape that vicelike grip. Grabbing my ass with one hand, holding me to him tightly. He continued his assault on her mouth while he stroked his other hand against my sopping wet core. I held him right, digging my nails in his naked back.m
I could not breathe and tore my mouth away from him to catch some breath. I did not know it was possible to get an orgasm with your clothes still on, kissing and making out against the wall. It is possible if you know how to do it right, and Lucian was a Master of It.
My head shook back and forth as wave after wave brought my entire being up.
He stepped back from me, breathing raggedly, looking at me with those green eyes. Though our bodies were no longer touching, he leaned forward on his hands placed on the wall at either side of my head. I was pleased to see he was also as breathless as me. It took us a moment to compose ourselves.
"How do you feel now?" He asked, brushing my hair with his hand.
How did I feel? Like a cheater? Slutty? Someone with zero self-control.
"I am fine," I replied, turning red.
His lips quirked into a smile.
"Just fine? I was expecting more."
"Lucian, I am starving. Can we please leave now? I don't know what this...." I flushed, "making out achieved."
"You are not marked, Alice; you must carry my scent so that everyone knows you are mine. It's for your protection."
He slanted his head to one side," and you were enjoying it." He grinned.
I blushed furiously, placing my hand on his chest, I tried pushing him away.
"Alright! You win, can we get out of this room now? Please." I knew where this would end if we stayed alone for too long.
I felt a little nervous walking out of Lucian's rooms for the first time. We were greeted by three men outside the door, I did not recognize anyone. They all bowed their heads and two held the post, the third trailed behind us on the stairs.
I wondered if they would keep following us around.
I recognized the large lobby with its ornate marble floors we had come in during
the day, and again I heard voices, but no one was there. Walking through a set of open double doors, the voices stopped abruptly. I had been told the pack numbered in thousands and I had seen the crowd when I had arrived, but I did not expect the dining area to be this crowded.
The room looked like a large banquet hall. Jade Moon pack had similar halls.
Sitting around the round tables were countless people. Men, women, and the small scattering of children all stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at me. I held on to my best smile and looked around, trying to think of anything to calm me down. I saw Savannah in the crowd waving madly at me, so I tried to focus on her.
"Is it always this crowded?" I mumbled to Lucian.
"No, it's usually boring, I guess they are all here to see you. Generally, most people dine in their homes."
I looked around, almost in a panic.
"Crimson Shadow pack, I present to you my mate, and your new Luna, Alice Anderson of the Jade mood pack," Lucian started with a flourish.
A cheer rose from those assembled, and I heard a significant amount of howling. I could also see a few heads shaking with surprise.
"As you know there have already been attempts to kidnap her" he continued. "And she had been living in England, hence unaware of our rules."
I wanted to raise an eyebrow at him, but I kept a smile on my face, wishing I could just sink into the floor.
"She will not be available to mingle freely with you until the guilty has been caught, and I have found out the real culprits," he persisted despite obvious grumbling in the crowd.
"Please continue to be on your guard and do not hesitate to report strange activity
to Beta Damon or his officers," he motioned to the man who stood up as did several other men.noveldrama
I had seen Damon with him earlier, during the rescue, and when he came to the
Jade moon pack, but I did not know he was Lucian's beta.
"Tonight, we celebrate and enjoy good food and family!" he finished with a flourish.
The crowd cheered and howled again until a woman spoke out.
"Sorry to interrupt Alpha, but why isn't she marked by you?"
I could feel Lucian moving next to me, his face hardened as he turned towards the blonde woman. She was beautiful and looked around my age. Though, a jealous smirk marred her beautiful face.
"That's none of your business, Eliza. It's something which mates decide." Lucian replied coldly.
The woman bowed slightly and moved back. Lana was itching to come out and throttle that woman.
A low growl escaped from my chest, surprising me.
Lucian's arm was already around me, and he gently stroked my arms, whispering," easy sweetheart, easy." A smile played on his lips.
'This is so annoying!' I said to myself.
