Chapter 4- I will Be The Judge Of That
REINA
"Now you're stuck with me" Alpha Kioni's words reverberated in my head like a bell that had just gone off. I tried to calm myself, as my heart pounded hard against my rib cage. My hands were fidgety too.
"Alpha, I….I was only sent here to attend to you. To serve you, I mean" I hated that I was stuttering like I had hot water in my mouth but who wouldn't? I mean, this was Alpha Kioni and standing in his presence felt like standing in the presence of a god.
"Serve?" He arched a brow as he covered the inches between us, so we were now breathing the same air. He raised his left hand above my head, placing it against the wall, while he trailed his right hand back and forth on my arm.
His masculine scent —pine and cedarwood— whiffed into my nostrils, tickling my senses.
"I bet when you say serve, you mean, getting down on your knees and putting your mouth to good use, huh?"
For a moment, my brain seemed to stand still. It did not interpret what he said until a while later. I flushed red as soon as I understood what he meant. I had not even seen what an erect manhood was like, talk more or less, given head. The art of fellatio was new to me.
"Not in that way, my Lord"
"Then in what way, eh?" He brushed away the strands of my hair that had fallen in my face, sending thrills down my spine. Was he trying to seduce me?
There was silence for a while because I was trying to find the right words, and for some reason, I believed he was checking me out, features and all. Did I please him? Did he like what he saw?
_Snap out of it, Raina. He wouldn't even look at you twice. You barely make heads turn, how much more Alpha Kioni?_ I hated it when my wolf did this.
But well, she was right. I wasn't his type. The tension in the room gathered, growing thicker with each passing second, making me feel uneasy. Then suddenly, he broke the silence.
"Eyes up here…." He trailed off, my cue to introduce myself
"It's Raina"
"Eyes up here, Raina," He said. I hesitated, thinking of how I was going to look him in the face
"I believe I gave an instruction" He said again, almost immediately and I knew I had to obey. Any further hesitance could earn me punishment.
Slowly, I raised my head till our eyes met but immediately, I looked away. He didn't dish out any further instructions, he just placed his index finger under my chin and tilted my head back in the angle he wanted it – to his face of course.
Our eyes locked once more and there was this burning intensity that came with his gaze. I couldn't quite name it. It was strong, somewhat electrifying and just incredibly overwhelming.
Alpha Kioni's gaze held mine, as his finger lingered beneath my chin, warm and commanding, yet gentle enough to make my pulse race. My wolf stirred, whispering desires I'd never dared to entertain.
Primordial impulses coursed through me but I stayed still. I couldn't show that he was slowly beginning to have an effect on me. For chrissakes, what was happening?
"Raina," he murmured, my name smoothly rolling off his tongue. "You're trembling. What exactly are you afraid of?" His voice was low and velvet smooth, coaxing me to say things I barely understood myself.
I swallowed, my throat dry. "I'm… not afraid, my Lord" The words came out softer than I intended, but they were honest. His closeness, his scent, the way his eyes seemed to see straight into my soul — it wasn't fear that made my heart thud. It was want; unfamiliar yet raw.
A slow, knowing smile appeared across his lips, and my breath hitched. He leaned closer, his lips brushing the shell of my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
"Good," He whispered. "Because I want you to choose this, Raina. I want you to want me as much as I want you"
His words ignited something deep within me, a spark that soon became a flame. He pulled back just enough to meet my eyes again, his gaze searching, waiting for my response. He had a sweet tongue and I was slowly falling for it, if I had not already fallen completely. There was no force here; only an invitation; one that made my knees weak.
"I…" My voice faltered, but I steadied myself, emboldened by the heat in his eyes.
"I do want you, Alpha" The confession felt like a burden had been lifted off me, leaving me bare but free. My consent was clear now, my desire undeniable.
His smile widened, like that of a predator's satisfaction, laced with something softer.
"Fix my bath water" He simply said "The bathroom is on your right"
Wait, what? Was he really going to leave me hanging after getting me this turned on and expectant? For a moment, I had felt special. I should have kept in mind that he was a Casanova and this was what they did.
I simply nodded, slightly bowing my knees before heading to my right. What to do with the throbbing and the pool in between my legs?
Soon, I was done preparing his bath water but the feeling of being watched made me hesitant to turn around. When I eventually did, Alpha Kioni was behind me. He must have probably been staring fixedly at my rear and the want I saw earlier in his eyes was evident than before; pure, unadulterated.
An Omega, alone with Alpha Kioni sounded wrong, yet so right. It sounded like a long night with naked bodies slamming into each other, giving and drawing warmth and watching themselves gasp, burn and yearn for more. It sounded like—
I stopped my thoughts. I had to get out of here. It was about damn time I left.
"I'll take my leave now, Alpha Sir" I curtsied, then headed for the door. Just as I was about to step out, I felt his hand on my arm as he grabbed me and spun me around.
"You thought I was just going to let you go like that, huh? Especially not after you said you wanted this too"
"Alpha Kioni, I….I…."
"You what?" He looked into my eyes. His eyes were lidded with want and something more. Before I could even say anything, he was already talking.
"Your lips…" He began, as he placed his thumb against my lower lip, caressing it, reminding me of how Christian teased Anna in the oh so popular Fifty Shades Trilogy.
"....they look like they'd taste like cotton candy" He continued, interrupting my reverie
Before I could even stop myself, I blurted out "You might never know until you taste 'em"
Before I could say Jack, he leaned in, about to kiss me, but I pulled back a bit.
"I'm not a good kisser"
"Let me be the judge of that"
