Chereads / The Triad Curse / Chapter 18 - His Dark Room

Chapter 18 - His Dark Room

Arianell.

I thought I was going crazy because he moved his sharp nose to the side of mine and stay there for what I felt like forever. I could feel his breath going hotter from it was warmer before.

Werewolf thing, I thought.

Then he said his next line slowly, "I'm a wolf, honey. I don't get easily injured in dark room even if I was working naked." Then he gazed at me again. I swore I could hear his loud thoughts about banging me right away to the wall. His emotion was too strong to comprehend.

Yet, he stood still with his lips almost brushed mine. Like there was an extremely thin silky sheet between ours.

At this distance, I could smell his usual evergreen leaves smell from his body soap. Until few times I had caught him with this fresh smell, I finally knew that it was the delicious scent of his body wash liquid soap. Yeah, one day I finally took a peek when I was in his bathroom. It might sound creepy, but his fresh scent of green forest was infuriatingly intoxicating.

If he weren't in the next room, I'd pass out on his large bed getting dizzy over powered by his whirling scent. I was light-headed in the most pleasant way.

[Oh, just kiss me already, boy! What are you waiting for?]

I was so afraid to make the first move because Akrem had never been in a relationship before. I just didn't know how werewolves found their mates and then what they should do next.

Thus, I gave all the control to Akrem. We, the pack, Iron, I and Akrem knew we were into each other, but I just didn't know how the werewolf's mate worked. That was why I left them all to Akrem. Let him make the first move, I'd just follow. After all, he was the alpha. If I was really his queen, then I needed to hear and obey his commands.

We stared at each other, lovingly that felt like forever.

Akrem moved his gaze to my slightly opened lips and he bit his lower lip. I slowly closed my eyes because I could feel his emotion went softer. He loved me too much that I could feel his love in my bones.

Suddenly, his warm right hand cupped my left jaw and he brushed his thumb slowly.

I surrendered, ready to take his lips on mine. My lips and tongue ached for his.

Then I felt his slightly wet lips were on my forehead. It touched with soft, slow, long and inviting. It gave me shivers from my spine down to my core between my legs like there was a lump wanted to explode down there. I thought it was the effect of his strong pheromones. But it calmed me at the same time.

I felt like I had everything, even the thoughts of not having mom and dad were gone.

I couldn't reply, I just surrendered in his arms. His touches and cage of bulky arms were so comforting that I felt safe. It felt like the loves of dad and mom ran through his touches, at a full throttle.

Further, he kissed me on my closed eyes, right to the left. The tip of my nose and he stopped. I still could feel his hot breath on my lips.

Unfortunately, he sighed with a long breath while still brushing his warm and big right thumb on my cheek slowly like he was afraid to scratch my skin.

I felt a sudden change in his emotion.

He hesitated. So, I opened my eyes and searched at his still dark brown now full of regret eyes. He looked a bit sad.

[Why haven't you kissed me?]

I screamed in my mind. Why did you hesitate?

He searched deep in my eyes again and finally slightly smiled, "Let's run the history again? You need to check your memory for the exam, right?" Akrem's voice was so soft and loving.

I blinked my eyes in a second and forced an answer with a lazy small smile,

"I'm good. I think I don't need to."

He smiled and replied, "If you said so…"

[My queen…]

Wait, what was that? That wasn't the sound of my thoughts.

[I'm coming to you at full throttle, Anne. But I don't wanna rush. Werewolves are easy to mate. I want to make it different for us. I'm a royal and I've read a lot in the Akhmedov ways of mating. You should get proper wedding when you're going to be my queen, my Luna. Sex can just wait. No, I wanna make love to you, to your soul not just your body. So, you can feel how to be the forever mate a werewolf can have.]

My goodness! It was the sound of Akrem's thoughts. Since when could I read mind?

I had to make sure before I told him that I could read his mind, so I was just smiling while looking at Akrem releasing his right hand and walking to the kitchen.

How could I not be in heaven seeing him this beautiful like this? And if it was really his thoughts, then he was absolutely perfect. He was beautiful inside and outside.

"What should we do now?" I asked while forcing a smile.

"Coffee? What kind of coffee would you like Anne? Coz I got new ones…" he smiled widely while raising a mug.

"Surprise me!" I smiled even wider.

And it was silence, I couldn't hear Akrem's thoughts anymore or he was just a man of few words. He calmly worked on making us coffee in silence.

I needed to check if I could still hear his thoughts. So, I cracked the silence,

"Why should you be a man with few words, 'Krem? If you were Iron, I believe we could have a page of conversation by now.

He just smiled and opened his mouth before muttered, slowly he was about to speak.

While I was listening carefully in case I could catch any of his thoughts.

It was none when he started to speak,

"That's why there are three of us. I believe we both are introverts and we need the third wheel to connect us at full throttle…"

Ow, it was indeed his thought that he was using the same term of full throttle.

"…though we madly fall in love to each other. At this rate, we'd have only staring at each other light-headed." Akrem's smile was so meaningful.

I waited, in case I could hear his thoughts again. But there wasn't any.

Sluggishly, I walked to his direction when he shoved me the coffee mug.

A few meters closer, then from fuzzily to being clearly, I could hear Akrem's thought. It was the corner of his dark room if I could put it that way. It was the most hidden corner of his thoughts.

[Come here, you beautiful. Later when we're married, I'd do you gladly on this kitchen table until this building's whole tenants could hear your loud moan of being satisfied I'll make you come so hard.]

Hence, I smiled while sipping the coffee. I looked at his high face between my eyebrows. I grinned.

"What?" he asked while shyly smile, "Is the coffee okay?"

"Fabulous!" I couldn't get the right word for the coffee because I was distracted by his loud and clear thoughts.

"Good", he said while enjoying the coffee and closed his eyes like feeling the coffee to his heart's content.

[Well 'Krem, this should be fun… hearing all your dirty thoughts about me.]

I grinned even wider…
