Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Claimed
Caroline’s POV
Draven’s hands slipped under my hair and gently removed the tiara I was wearing, tossing it skillfully onto one of the armchairs in the room.
He broke our kiss and stopped behind me, beginning to kiss my shoulders, his lips leaving trails of fire on my skin.
One by one, he unbuttoned the delicate closures on the back of my wedding dress. When they were all undone, he placed his hands on my shoulders and pulled the long ends of the silk ribbon that held my dress in place. As he untied the bow at my neck, my dress cascaded down my body and pooled at my feet like a heap of lace and tulle.
He embraced me around the waist, pressing my body against his, making me feel his hardness against my back.
He turned my face to kiss my mouth and without breaking the kiss, not even for a second, he lifted me out of the tangle of dress at my feet, setting me back down facing the bed.
Draven circled around me once more, slowly appreciating the sight of my body now covered only by thin white lingerie,white lace panties that left little to the imagination.
"I don’t think I’ll tear these," Draven said with a mischievous smile and leaned close to my ear."I want to keep them, along with the ones from the masquerade ball!"
What he said left me open-mouthed, but at the same time a happiness swept through me like I was a teenager hearing her first promise of love. I smiled at him and he smiled back, approaching to worship my body with hot, passionate kisses.
As he kissed the swell of my breasts, he slipped his hands along the sides of my panties and slowly began to slide the fabric down my legs. When he reached my feet, he knelt down and I leaned on his shoulder to lift one foot at a time to step out of the lingerie. Draven brought the delicate fabric to his nose and inhaled deeply, his violet eyes never leaving mine. Those eyes turned molten with desire, his pupils dilating until they nearly swallowed the color.
"You drives me wild, my Luna," he said.
Draven pulled me close and buried his face between my thighs, spreading kisses on my heated skin until his lips and tongue found my most sensitive spot. Pure ecstasy shot through me! He took one of my legs and draped it over his shoulder, holding me steady with his hands securely on my waist.
With the perfect angle that position offered, my husband tasted me thoroughly, his tongue teasing and exploring, his lips sucking gently as I moaned uncontrollably, clutching his hair. I felt the orgasm build and then crash through my body, sweeping my soul with something far beyond physical pleasure. Draven absorbed every drop of my essence, with passion and satisfaction.
He quickly stood up, lifted me into his arms, and carried me to the bed, kissing my mouth and worshiping my body. He went to my feet, untied the delicate buckles, and removed my sandals one at a time, placing a kiss on each foot.
Lying there, I watched my husband gift me with a slow, sensual undressing that took my breath away. All those muscles, the defined abs revealed as he removed his clothes for me, left me in complete admiration of the powerful Alpha who was now my husband.
Draven removed his boxer briefs, the last piece of clothing still on his body, revealing himself fully to me. Noticing my desire, he came to me and traced my lips with the tip of his arousal. I kissed it softly, opened my mouth, and tasted him. He was divine! I started to take him slowly into my mouth as Draven thrust his hands into my hair and began to move with gentle restraint. He moaned with pleasure as the pace accelerated with his increasing desire. When he was close to his release, he tried to pull away, but I grabbed him by the hips and urged him to stay. It didn’t take long for him to find his release, driving me wild with desire. I wanted more.
Draven withdrew from my mouth with a smile and lay on top of me, supporting his weight on his elbows. He started kissing me again, our naked bodies pressing against each other, the desire overwhelming. Yet his touches remained gentle, reverent. I wanted him completely, fast, hard, and deep inside me. I needed my mate to claim me fully.
"Carrie," he growled, his voice rough with need. "I need to claim you, to mark you as mine forever."
"Yes," I whispered, "Make me yours completely."
Draven entered me in one powerful thrust, both of us moaning with pure pleasure. Under his body, I felt the perfect fit we had, his body deliciously joining with mine, settling as deep as possible. We stayed still for a moment, eyes locked, savoring the wonderful feeling of being completely united.
"Now I’m going to move," Draven whispered.
As he moved, slowly withdrawing before pushing back in, my muscles tightened around him. I felt the delicious slide and heat of our skin connecting. I placed my hand on his chest and felt his heart beating strong and fast, matching my own rhythm. I started to move my hips, and we quickened our pace.
My husband awakened all my senses – my body, mind, and soul completely attuned to him. We surrendered to each other fully, every sensation heightened to its maximum.
His thrusts became more and more powerful, and then I felt his fangs at my throat. He waited until the perfect moment, until I was teetering on the edge of an orgasm stronger than all the others.I was nearly delirious with pleasure, but he remained completely determined. Just as I toppled over the edge, he sank his canines into the tender flesh where my neck met my shoulder, marking me as his own forever.
White light burst behind my eyelids, and warmth flooded my body. The bond between us snapped into place with an almost audible click, binding our souls together for eternity. I was finally complete. I screamed his name as wave after wave of pleasure washed over me, more intense than anything I’d ever experienced.
Draven’s own release followed immediately, his body shuddering against mine as he growled against my neck, licking the mark he’d just made to seal it. I could feel our bond cementing, strengthening with each passing moment.
"Mine," he whispered fiercely. "Forever mine."
"Yours," I agreed breathlessly. "And you are mine."
I could feel Rory howling with joy inside me, celebrating our completed bond with Alaric.
Draven rolled to his side, bringing me with him so we remained connected. He traced gentle fingers over the mark on my neck, a look of satisfaction and wonder on his face.
"I’ve waited so long to see my mark on you," he said softly. "To feel our bond complete."
I touched his face, still amazed that this powerful man belonged to me as surely as I belonged to him. "Was it worth the wait?"
His violet eyes darkened with renewed desire. "Every second." He kissed me deeply. "But the night is young, my Luna, and I plan to fuck you everywhere in this room before dawn."
I smiled against his lips, my body already responding to his touch. "Promise?"
His answer was to roll me beneath him once more, ready to make good on his word.
