The Lycan’s Human Mate

He didn’t do anything except stare at me and watch me till he pulled me close to him. His thick and hard erection was pressing against my stomach as we were joined knee to chest. My breath caught as we locked eyes. His head lowered, and his lips touched mine. I felt as though I had no control over my body since my eyes closed on their own. I immediately found myself losing all sense of reasoning.

My pain has been replaced by a yearning that I’m not sure I really understand. I cave, just like last night. My logical considerations began to fade away. I just want to put the anger and frustrations that the man I believed was my soulmate caused behind me this night. The love that was now uncertain. I want to forget.

So I did something I hadn’t even realized I had been dying to do. I kissed him. For a brief moment, he appeared stunned before his lips ravished mine. He gave me a possessive kiss. I moaned to his lips as a strange sensation started to emerge from within me.

With labored breathing, he broke away. Our eyes locked, and I felt my breath hitch.

He wanted me too.

“Would you like to come with me?” he said as he regarded me carefully.

Currently unable to speak, I simply nodded. He drew me across the dance floor as his hand moved smoothly toward mine. I noticed Cayden in the distance with a woman. His eyes lingered on me, and he gave me a wink before turning to face the blond female who was vying for his attention.

“Had a change of heart?” Traian’s lazy drawl sent a shiver racing straight to my core.

My eyes followed the line of his lips as I replied, “No.”

And right now, scenarios are racing through my head like crazy. My body was filled with heat and want.

“My car is just around here,” he muttered.

As we slid past into the encroaching darkness outdoors, a giggle escaped my lips. It felt quiet after the stomping merriment inside. Private. My spine was followed down by a sliver of unease. I was doing the right thing, wasn’t I?

He seemed to feel the uneasiness in my hand and squeezed it. “We don’t need to do this, yet.” His face was covered in shadow from the light.

Sex. I could handle that. There are no ties. No commitments were made, therefore there’s no reason to risk being hurt. In a few days, I’ll be leaving. There’s no reason to be concerned about running into this enigmatic man again. A one-night stand only. Just a one-night stand.

I cast a sidelong glance toward Traian while feeling a niggling sense of unease. I was filled with a mix of uncontrollable thrill and concern. He removed one hand from the steering wheel and put it on my knee, giving me a comforting squeeze.

Between us, there was a tense pause. I shifted my gaze to the completely dark surroundings through the car’s glass. The road was lighted by the headlights as they sliced through the darkness, but there was not a single street lamp to light the road. Driving off into the countryside with a man I barely knew made me question whether I was doing the right thing. Then it occurred to me why I had come to the bar. Time to cross this one on my bucket list again. Having sex with a mysterious man in a pub. Let’s add the spice of being in a foreign country.

Traian gave me a quick glance, but I felt it more than saw it. As I considered the next seconds of this night, heat streaked my cheeks. My breasts were frisked by the heat that flowed down my body.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Not long after, the car slowed, and Traian turned up a driveway, which made me note that we took the road to the forest. We lurched along, the dirt grinding under the tires as we drove past puddles. He stopped his car in front of the massive stone structure that had just come into view.

One thought immediately sprang to mind.

That is one freaking castle!

My interest was piqued by its sheer size, workmanship, and stones, everything. I fixed my eyes on the castle in front of me. I had never seen one before, so I just stood there, blinking, trying to comprehend that I was looking at an actual castle.

“Wow,” I murmured.

He turned off the ignition of the car before opening the door and leaping out. Before I could brace the door on my side, he had already pulled it open. I climbed out too, fighting an unwanted attack of nerves.

He extended his hand with a smirk on his face. “Having second thoughts?”

I slid my hand into him, letting our fingers entwine, and said, “No.”

The thrill of being different for just one night before, I had to go back to reality and start over. Thinking back, I recognized my weaknesses. It is the way I blindly follow Anthony. I shook off my anxious thoughts and gave the attractive man in front of me a direct glance. “No second guessing.”

He took me up a tiny concrete walk to the main double doors of the stone structure, saying, “Good because I have no plan to let you go either.” With ease, he unlocked the door and then moved aside to make space for me.

“Wow, you really do live in a castle,” I mused, “Living in a castle like a princess was always my childhood fantasy, you know.”

Closing the door and turning on the light, he said, “No, you are Queen,” before leading me along a carpeted passage to the grand staircase. “I believe I promised you a bed.”

“I bet you are.”

We stepped inside the big, manly room. The room was very clean and organized. It is dominated by a king-sized bed. On a nightstand, a mound of loose coins and thick books were found. Walls were decorated with paintings of streams and mountains covered with snow.

He approached me from behind and wrapped his arms around my waist.

I murmured, “Your room is stunning,”

“During the entire journey here, I’ve been picturing you naked in this room,” He rasps on my ear.

I gasped at his blunt words, but before I could think of anything else, he gathered me closer, turned me around, and kissed me, silencing me. I instantly opened my lips, ready to say something, but he stilled me with the steady sliding of his tongue into my mouth. He explored my mouth with a growing amount of passion as his hands slid down to knead my bottom.

The touch of his hands on my body causes all of my thoughts to blur. I let everything else go, including whether or not this was right or bad and my motivations for traveling with this man. I just went with the flow. I moaned, desperate for pleasure. I finally withdrew and leaned my forehead on his, trying to breathe.

I ran my hand slowly over his smooth, black hair and whispered, “Be my distraction for tonight, Traian, make me yours tonight.”
