Bad Love: An Alpha's Regret

Chapter 346

The kiss quickly grows heated between us and it’s everything I

ever wanted.

It feels as if Axel is focused and determined this time, no edge of © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

desperation or knowledge that we shouldn’t be doing this getting in the way of us simply enjoying each other.

It doesn’t take long before clothes start disappearing, Axel stripping them off me at an impressive rate. He then tosses off his borrowed scrubs until we’re standing naked in front of each other.

I shiver at the sight of him, all sinew and muscles, his gaze on me

hot enough to burn.

He stalks forward then, and I coyly back up until I come up against

the counter beneath the mirror.

Axel doesn’t pause, simply lifts me and perches me on the edge of

the counter.

I automatically wrap my legs around his hips as he starts to kiss me again or maybe devour me is the more accurate term.

It’s almost a shock to my system when the hard hot length of him presses against the juncture between my thighs.

I’m already wet, and he groans as he slides up against me.

For half a moment I have second thoughts.

Axel is huge and I’m inexperienced.

But I barely have time to think the thought before he adjusts the angle of his hips and thrusts into me… hard.

I cry out at the sharp but expected pain, my nails digging into his shoulder.

He pauses, as if belatedly realizing, and then breaks the kiss to stare down at me in shock.

“Emily, were you a-”

“Yes,” I rush to reply, feeling my cheeks heat with embarrassment.

“I got abducted when I was a teenager and spent ten years in captivity. There weren’t exactly any chances to–So, yes, I was a virgin.”

Maybe it seems dumb to feel humiliated about it after the fact, but I just don’t want Axel to think I’m some dumb, inexperienced girl.

“Why didn’t you say something?” he demands. “I would have been far gentler about it.”

“I didn’t want to change anything between us,” I tell him with determination. “It obviously doesn’t matter now, and it only hurt

for a second. I don’t want it to ruin this-”

“It’s not ruined,” Axel tells me, a fierce protective light in his eyes.

“But this makes you mine, Emily. Mine and mine only.”

“Yes,” I reply on a gasp as he starts thrusting again, a little more

gently this time, which I have to admit, is better.

I surrender control to Axel as he sets the pace and measures his

strokes, expertly building pleasure within me so that the pain is

quickly forgotten.

Maybe I’ve never done this before, but I know this isn’t just sex.

Axel is making love to me, tender in his regard, treating me like the most precious thing he’s ever handled in his life, seeing to my pleasure instead of his own.

Now I know, this is what it feels like to be with your mate.

I can only imagine how much more intense and overwhelming it would be if we were mated, if he were to claim me right here and

right now.

As if on instinct alone, my head tilts back, exposing my neck.

Axel thrusts harder as he lets out a low growl. Then his mouth is on my neck and I feel the pleasant, subtle scrape of his teeth.

That final assault on my senses is what tips me over the edge, and

I’m launched into the kind of pleasure I’ve never before imagined

could even exist.

Axel abruptly rips his mouth away from my neck, and I catch a

flash of wicked canines and the subtle glow of violet in his eyes as

he struggles to not let his wolf take control of this moment.

His hips piston into mine once more and then he shouts as he

comes deep inside my body.

However, he’s barely finished when he pulls out and stumbles

away from me.

“Axel?” I say in alarm, not sure what’s wrong, why he’s suddenly turning away from me.

He gathers up the scrubs and quickly throws them on, keeping his

back to me.

“Is something wrong?” I ask, slipping down from the counter, a

sense of coldness stealing over me, both outside from the sweat.

cooling on my skin, and inside from the way he’s acting.

“Just leave me alone,” he growls out, before stalking out of the room and slamming the door behind him.

My brain is spinning and I can’t make sense of what just happened.

I thought something meaningful had just taken place between us,

that we’d come to a new understanding of each other.

But yet again, Axel has left me cold moments after being intimate.

It’s like getting dunked in ice water and I abruptly regret everything

that just happened between us.

“What have I done?” I whisper brokenly into the empty room.
