Chapter Forty Four
LUCY
The weight of secrets and loyalty tugged in my heart and the memory of Nathan’s words echoed in my mind. Nathan had expressed his thoughts and concerns about the path I was treading, reminding me of the consequences I would bring upon myself.
I paced outside my hut in the woods as I pondered on what to do next. My gaze shifted to the woods where the rustling sound of leaves caught my attention. Two figures emerged from behind the bushes, Cade’s special guards. I knew they had been watching me for days and had followed me wherever I went.
My jaws clenched, my frustration simmering just below the surface. “What do you want from me?” I questioned.
“You tell me, you slimy bitch!” one of them said, charging forward toward me.
I scoffed. “I bet Cade didn’t tell you what happened to the other guards he sent to trail me. You should go and ask him before you do anything you might regret,” I said.
“We are only following orders, Lucy. Cade wants to ensure the safety of the pack.” the second guard said. “We know that your intentions are sincere, but Cade wants to avoid any unforeseen.”
My frustration increased, my voice laced with anger. “Cut the bullshit you two, I know the games you’re playing. I want you to note this down; I won’t be confined by your watchful eyes, I have a purpose and there’s nothing you will do to stop me.”
As I turned to walk away, my steps were halted by their voice. “Wait, Lucy. There’s something you need to know,” the other guard said.
“What is it this time?” I bellowed.
“Cade suspects that someone is leaking information to the hallowed manes pack. He’s just trying to protect our interest,” he said.
My heart quickened. Was that why he had me followed? I thought. “Cade is just been paranoid, no one would dare leak information to our enemy not even me,” I said.
“Be cautious, Lucy. Trust is fragile in these times,” he said.
I absorbed his words as they left me, my thoughts drifting to what Nathan had spoken about earlier. If I did anything to lose Cade’s trust, that would be the end for me. I had to figure out another way to go about my plan.
I stood at the entrance of the treehouse, my heart racing as I waited for Chris to arrive. Moments later, his tall figure emerged from the shadows, his beautiful eyes locking on mine.
“Lucy,” he called out, his melodious voice like a soothing balm to my soul.
“Chris,” I greeted, my eyes filled with longing for him.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
He heaved a long sigh before speaking. “I’m so sorry for being away for too long, I’ve had personal issues to deal with.”
“Is it about the dreams you’ve been having? You shouldn’t let it bother you. I’m not going to let anyone hurt you,” I assured.
“Of course, you won’t,” he chuckled. “I know that I’m safe with you, my warrior Luna.”
He leaned closer to me, planting a kiss on my lips. Warmth blossomed in my chest, igniting sparks as he leaned in close, his lips brushing mine, tentatively. The smell of his body fragrance was dizzying, butterflies dancing in my stomach. But warmth consumed me as I leaned into the kiss, his lips impossibly soft against mine. His lips were so soft that they parted slightly, allowing my tongue to slip inside. I could feel the soft tickle of his breath beneath my nose, fingers carding through my hair as we breathed each other in.
I gently pushed him as I gasped for air. “I should go,” I said. But he held me still, his gaze locked in mine.
“You want to torture me, don’t you?” he whispered.
I shrugged. “That’s not it, there’s something I need to talk to you about,” I said.
“Not now, Lucy. All I want to see is your beautiful body naked right now,” he whispered into my ears.
I felt my body tremble as he ran his hands through my skin. Something inside me, maybe it was the smell of his hair or the touch of his hand, I moved without thinking and closed the final inches as my lips found him in the dark.
“Mmmmmmmm,” I moaned softly.
“I’ve been thinking about being inside of you all day,” he said. His words made me feel things I never thought I could feel.
“Why don’t you get on with it then?”I muttered. This time it was I who unfastened his buttons, his shirt, then mine. I laid my lips over his heart, on the warm skin and vibrant beat.
“I’ve had your taste with me since the last time we kissed.” While my lips played over him, I eased the shirt away.
I trailed my hands over his chest, his belly a quiver up to his shoulders. I peeled my shirt open and let it do to the floor to join his.
“Touch me now.”
He cupped my breast in his hands, and the warm, soft weight of them, skimmed the nipples with the edges of his thumbs.
“Like this?” he asked.
“Yes, like that.”My head fell back as heat balled in my belly. “Exactly like that.”
“Whatever you want me to do to you, I’ll do it,” he groaned.
“I want…..” I moaned.
“Tell me,” he whispered as he gently fondled my breast.
He laid on me, feeling one of my breasts in the middle of his chest. Our lips met. He touched my lips with his tongue and my tongue shot into his mouth. He began kissing away from my mouth, he could not help spending more time on my tits, but there was more to kiss.
I slipped away from him before we went too far. It felt so right and wrong at the same time. I was here to talk about something important but here I was tangled up in his embrace.
“What’s the matter?” Chris asked, his arms still holding onto me.
“We need to talk,” I whispered.
His expression shifted, curiosity mingling with concern. “What is it, Lucy?”
I took a deep breath, my gaze never leaving his. “Cade has me watched, he is beginning to suspect me. I’m worried that things may go sour if he finds out about our plans,” I said.
Chris’s eyes softened, his fingers reaching out to gently cup my cheek. “Lucy, you’ve always been honest with me and I’m glad that you trust me. I promise you, I’ll do anything in my power to protect you.”
His kiss on my lips was gentle and soft, and completely unexpected.
“Yum, you taste divine,” he moaned, and for the first time in a long time, I could hear actual pleasure in his tone. “I must have more.”
I pulled him closer, exploring every inch of his mouth. I made him sit while I knelt on the floor to explore the large size of his member. My face stopped an inch from the tip of his dick. I gingerly extended my tongue until the tip contacted the head of his penis. At the moment of contact, his cock jumped at the sensation. I smiled, then swirled my tongue around the perimeter of Chris’ manhood. I took one hand and cupped his balls again, then enclosed the tip of his penis into my warm mouth.
“Ah… ohh, fuck, Lucy… that… feels so good,” Chris managed to say.
