Chapter 121
Kessler’s POV
I don’t like it when Lyra stays mad at me. I didn’t know she was going to take the role of the godmother to Annie’s baby. I had my doubts, judging from what Annie had done to her.
So I had to follow her to her room to be sure she’d stop being mad at me. When she complained about her leg, all I wanted was to massage her legs and make her feel better.
Her moan makes my member twitch in my trousers; I can sense she wants me. There’s no doubt I want her, but I want my time with Lyra to be special again.
Dang, I can’t think straight when I catch a whiff of her arousal. With hurried steps, she heads into the bathroom.
I could tell she was embarrassed; she took her time in the bathroom. But when she stepped out in her towel, all I wanted was to take her right there and make her scream my name.
I noticed she was at a loss for words; I guess she wasn’t expecting me to still be in the room. I need to take control of my emotions; I want her as much as she wants me.
With a smirk on my face, I walked closer to her, and I noticed she was looking at me, expecting what I would do next.
I run my hand through her hair, and she mutters my name, “Kessler.”
“Gosh, you are so beautiful, Lyra.”
She smiles, and that smile alone makes me lose control as I smash my mouth onto hers, taking her luscious lip in mine.
I start slowly, watching her reaction to see if she would push me away. But I’m not surprised when she kisses me back with all her might, roaming my face with her small hand.
Our kiss deepens. I feel her warmth against me, her body responding eagerly to my touch as I take in the sweetness of the moment.
I gently trail kisses along her jawline, and down her neck, eliciting soft sighs and gentle moans from her lips. It ignites a fire within us. Her hands explore my body, tracing the lines of my muscles, and sending shivers down my spine.
I pour out all my emotions into the kiss as if I’m ready to give us another shot with the promise that I won’t leave her again and will fight for us at all costs.
She holds onto my face, bringing my mouth closer as she continues to kiss me. I move my hand to her breast, and gosh, it’s so firm in my hand that I want to take it in my mouth, but I need to have control. We aren’t there yet.
Our kiss is fierce as I fight for dominance, my member reacting to every spark that erupts from the kiss. I realize my mistake that I let go of her all because of Annie.
I know what I feel for Lyra is real, and I’m ready to give it a shot, especially with the baby we are expecting.
She moans into my mouth, and for fuck’s sake, I almost wanted to lose control right there. I move my tongue to where my mark ought to be, and she moans even louder.
I regret more than anything that I rejected her; my mark should be sitting pretty on her neck.
I trace every one of her curves. She’s thick on all sides. I’m sure it’s the pregnancy, and I can’t wait to have her, filling her with my seed again to top up.
I can feel the connection between us growing stronger with every touch and kiss. I want to make up for lost time, to show her just how much she means to me.
I know she wants sex; she got a dildo to satisfy her sexual desires.
I move her to the bed and she holds onto me tight, as if she doesn’t want to let me go, her protruding stomach poking me.
She breaks the kiss, looking at me dead in the eyes, waiting for her to say something, but she doesn’t. Instead, she continues staring at me.
“What’s on your mind, sunshine?” I ask, trying to break the silence.
She smiles but shakes her head. “I know she’s trying to dispel the thought,” she finally says. “I feel for Annie.”
I feel a pang of guilt. It seems to ruin the mood as I rest my back on the headboard. She stands up and walks to her closet to get her nightie.
This time, she wears a free-flowing nightie, and she still looks adorable despite the gown covering her up.
I wonder how someone can look effortlessly beautiful in anything she wears.
“I feel for her too,” I say, breaking the silence that has enveloped the room. “I wonder who might have done that to her. I’ve told Zach to go ahead and investigate. I bet he will get to the bottom of it and send us word back.”
She nods her head but still asks, “Could it be my uncle? I haven’t heard from him in a while.”
“Anything is possible,” I say to her, but I know I’m keeping some things from her.
I’ve taken full control of the access to the phone, and I’ve been the one dealing with him directly. So, I’m in no doubt that he might want to strike, thinking Lyra is telling on our pack. But unknown to him, I’ve been in charge, feeding him false information.
I had to do that because I noticed the fear in her eyes whenever Jack called, and I wouldn’t want to take any chances with our child.
“That’s good news then. I hope the perpetrator is found,” she says, but I can sense the lingering doubt in her mind.
I stand up and move closer to her, gently sitting her on the bed with her back against my front. My hand rests on her stomach, and I nuzzle my face into her neck, taking in her scent.
Gosh, it’s soothing. “What’s on your mind?” I ask softly, wanting to know everything running through her thoughts.
Her silence stretches for a moment before she finally speaks. “Could Ryder be connected to Jack in some way?” she wonders aloud, voicing the concern that has been nagging at her.
“They are connected,” I confirmed to her. “I sent the syringe to Daniel to analyze the liquid inside, and he confirmed that it was another dose of the elixir. It reacted differently in Ryder’s body because he didn’t have the first dose.”
I see the shock and concern in her eyes as the pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place. They never knew that my sunshine would be strong enough to use her powers to prevent the elixir the second time.
She nervously plays with her fingers, a clear sign of her fear and anxiety. “Don’t worry, Sunshine, it’s just a matter of time. Jack will be brought to book, and this time around, when he is caught, I won’t spare him.”
She turns her face, looking at me with a sideways glance. I nod my head to confirm what I just said.
Just then, I receive a mind link from Zach. “My Alpha, it’s time.”
I give a lingering kiss on the back of her neck as if making a promise to her. It’s a silent vow of my commitment and determination to protect her and our pack.
“I’ll have to go now,” I say to her, the weight of the mission heavy on me.
She turns around and asks, “Where?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“I’m going on a mission, I need all the strength I can get, and I’ll draw that from you, knowing I’ll come back to you. I need to end this Jack thing once and for all,” I explain, looking her deep in her eyes.
“Please be safe, Kessler,” she says. I can see the concern in her eyes, but I give her a reassuring smile.
“You have nothing to worry about,” I assure her, trying to lighten the mood. “While in battle, the thought of coming back to have that hot, steaming sex I’ve been craving with you will keep me going.”
I notice her blush deeply, and I stand up, bringing her up with me so we’re standing facing each other.
Taking her hand in mine, I place a lingering kiss on her forehead and say, “Wish me luck,” as I step out of her room.
