Lu-Ann's POV
I lay silently on my bed, waiting for Damon to come back. After the little show we had at the terrace where I was sure everyone had a good look at my butt up the air when Damon pulled me from new private place, everyone left our bedroom. Leaving me and my mate to sort out our misunderstanding.
I went straight to bed after everyone left, laying down stiffly, turning my back on Damon as he stood on my bedside. I was still feeling embarrassed with how everyone got a good view of my private parts because Damon had to demonstrate how strong he was to his whole pack.
I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep but really just wanting to have some space from him. Another deep breath from him and I hear him walk to the bathroom. The door closes and I hear the shower opening. I try to sleep, closing my eyes and blanking my mind enough to relax and go to sleep. But fifteen minutes passes and my mind still is alert, going back to what happened earlier.
Having a few minutes alone made my mind and heart relax a little. The embarrassment I felt earlier somewhat fading slowly. I now realize I may have overreacted with the embarrassment issue. Perhaps, I was just alarmed when I was forcibly pulled from my little place, disturbing the little peace of mind I have gained when I decided to have my moment.
I sighed deeply just as I heard the bathroom door open, and a strong scent of my freshly showered mate invaded my nostrils. I was going to close my eyes again and pretend to be asleep but thought better of it. What would be the use? He would still be sleeping here anyway as his bedroom was still not fixed. And I hated this feeling of awkwardness between us. We might as well just talk it over and be on our peaceful sleep.
But my decision doesn't mean I would make it easier for him. He should at least feel a little discomfort after scaring me and subjecting me to an embarrassing situation.
I feel the bed dip on the other side as Damon gets on the bed. Hmmm... my mate really smells yummy. But I still remain laying the way I did earlier. My back facing him, waiting for him to make the first move.
I feel his hand on my waist, embracing me. He dips his face on my neck, deeply inhaling my scent. "Baby. I'm sorry."
I remain the same. Doing my best not to show how strongly his nearness was affecting me. How his touch made me tingle all over. A little hard-to-get wouldn't hurt. Would it?
"Please forgive me babe. I panicked when I did not see you here when I came back. And I truly got scared when I saw you on the very edge of that foundation post. I thought your climbing there was controlled by something else, just like your shifting." He explained softly.
I now feel his full body behind me as he embraced me fully, pulling me closer to him as he still has his face on my neck.
For a moment, I conflicted between just showing him he's forgiven and still give him a little hard time. I remain silent for a few minutes as he waits for my answer.
"I was relaxing." I said stiffly. Still not facing him.
"You could have relaxed with a chair on the ground. What if you fell down while relaxing?" He replied.
I faced him and rolled my eyes at him. "I had the best training in finding private spaces I can relax in when I was in that school. Why would I fall down when that space was even a lot bigger than a lot of my private spaces in that school?"
"School?" He asked. But I could see in his face that he knew I was referring to the school where he and most of his pack bullied me.
"Yes. Your school. Why do you think I always got lost during breaks? I found a lot of hiding places you would never ever think of stepping even a foot on." I said, a hint of hurt creeping on my voice as I remembered how I had to find little hiding places just to get away from them.
He was silent for a time. His chin was now on my head as he still embraced me, my arms resting on his chest.
"I'm sorry." He said quietly. Breathing deeply. "I will do everything to show you how sorry I am and for you to forgive me for everything I did that hurt you."
"I... It's all in the past now. I am trying to forgive everything that happened to me in that school but just... don't expect me to forget everything in the near future. Even as being your mate."
He looks me in the eye. "One chance, baby. Just give us one chance."
I stare at him. Wanting him to squirm a little as he waits for my answer. We already have had this conversation more or less, but he still needs reassurance that I am giving him and his pack a chance to redeem themselves.
I nodded slowly with a little smile. "One chance."
"Thank you, baby." He said, then promptly kissed me on the lips. It was soft at first, then feeling that I was not resisting, the kiss got deeper. A slow but sensual exploration of tongues giving and receiving unexpected pleasure.
This was my first kiss and I could not help but moan within my throat as Damon slowly taught me how to respond with his sweet invasion.
I broke up the kiss to feel my lungs with air and he took the opportunity to kiss my neck. Nibbling and kissing my neck and I felt myself getting wet down there, the sensation of his lips on my neck making me moan even more. Unconsciously grinding my wet part to his now hard member.
F---k!!! This feels so amazing. I open my eyes, which I did not even realize was closed to see him looking at me with smokey eyes. He was breathing as hard as I am.
Desire. Lust.
My heart beating faster as my breath as fast as well. We look into each other's eyes, silently making the decision to give in to our physical need. Knowing the physical pleasure, we could have together.
But then I hear Damon, breath even deeper. Then he hugs me tightly. Kissing my forehead, his hard part immediately touching my stomach, tempting my hand to go down. Feel that heat, feel that hardness with my palm. And as my hand slowly goes down, he captures my hand. Holding it above my head.
"No baby. You're not ready yet." He whispered in hoarse tones. I did not even realize I was now laying with my back fully against the bed and that he was almost completely above me. My legs almost spread out if not for his body almost covering mine.
He kissed me again on my forehead, pressing the kiss even more while pressing his hardness even more as well on my stomach.
Then he continues ravishing my neck, not stopping as I have expected when he stopped my hand from touching his hard part.
His hands let go of my hand, touching my breast, letting his thumb harden my nipple with pleasure. I don't even know how, but he is now off my body as his kisses go down to my breast. He gently sucks my nipples one after the other and I unconsciously spread my legs. Whimpering, asking him for release.
He levels his eyes to mine. "Do you trust me?"
I nod, grinding my hips to his, wanting, needing him as I have never done anyone else.
He continues to ravish my lips as I feel his hand touching my mound and I open my eyes. Unsure if I want his hand down their when he says I am still not ready. "Trust me baby."
My hands travel to his arms then I feel him touch the folds of my very wet part. Inserting one finger inside, making me even wetter if that was even possible. S---t! This is so good.
Then he slips another finger inside. Slowly, slowly moving them in and out. I close my legs with his arm still moving between, giving me pleasure after pleasure. Making me moan and groan as my hips start to rise with the pleasuring movement of his fingers. "Oh, Goddess!!!"
Afterwards, I lay pleasurably drained. My mate kissing me all over. Enjoying the scent of pleasure, and perspiration as I whimper in fulfillment.
He now lays above me, kissing me once again on my forehead and I embrace him with a contented smile. But then, I feel something, and I gasp in shock. Looking at him, ashamed and mortified at my selfishness.
He was still as hard as earlier. I took all the pleasure we should have shared.
