Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Honeymoon
Victoria
I awoke to the sensation of warm lips trailing down my spine, gentle hands caressing my sides. Dawn light filtered through the curtains, bathing our bed in golden warmth.
"Mmm," I hummed appreciatively, still half-asleep. "Good morning to you too."
Leo’s chuckle vibrated against my skin as he placed another kiss at the small of my back. "I couldn’t resist. You look too delicious lying there."
I rolled over lazily, not bothering to cover myself with the sheet that had long since been kicked to the floor. Leo’s eyes darkened as he took in my naked form, his desire evident despite our multiple rounds of lovemaking through the night.
"Insatiable," I teased, reaching up to run my fingers through his tousled hair.
"For you? Always." He captured my hand, pressing a kiss to my palm before moving lower to nip at my wrist, where my pulse jumped beneath his lips.
The mating marks we’d given each other last night glowed faintly in the morning light—his on my neck, mine on his shoulder. The sight of my claim on his powerful body sent a thrill of possessive satisfaction through me.
"How do you feel?" he asked, his voice rough with both concern and desire as he stretched out beside me.
"Wonderfully sore," I admitted with a smile. "And complete. Like the last piece of a puzzle finally snapped into place."
Leo’s expression softened as he traced the line of my collarbone, down between my breasts to circle my navel. "That’s exactly it. Complete. I never knew what was missing until I found you."
His touch ignited sparks across my skin, rekindling the desire that seemed to burn endlessly between us. When his hand drifted lower, finding the evidence of my arousal, I gasped and arched into his touch.
"Again?" I asked breathlessly, even as I spread my legs to grant him better access.
His wolfish grin made my heart stutter. "The mating fever won’t fully subside for days, sweetheart. Consider this your official introduction to life as an Alpha’s mate."
"Then shouldn’t I be learning my duties?" I teased, reaching down to wrap my hand around his impressive length. The growl that rumbled from his chest sent shivers down my spine.
"Your only duty right now is to let me worship every inch of you," he replied, moving over me. "Starting here..."
He claimed my mouth in a kiss that left me dizzy, then worked his way down my body with maddening slowness. By the time he settled between my thighs, I was writhing with need.
"Leo," I pleaded, tangling my fingers in his hair. "Don’t tease."
"Not teasing," he murmured against my inner thigh. "Savoring."
The first touch of his tongue against my core had me crying out, oversensitive from our previous lovemaking yet desperate for more. He worked me expertly, seeming to know exactly how to bring me to the edge without letting me fall.
Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, he slid two fingers inside me while sucking gently on my most sensitive spot. The orgasm hit me like a tidal wave, washing away everything but sensation and the sound of his name on my lips.
Before I’d fully recovered, Leo was moving up my body, positioning himself at my entrance. "Need you," he growled, his eyes glowing with his wolf’s presence. "Need to be inside you."
"Yes," I breathed, wrapping my legs around his waist. "Take what’s yours, Alpha."
He entered me in one powerful thrust that had us both gasping. Despite my body’s initial protest at the intrusion so soon after our night of passion, the discomfort quickly gave way to pleasure as he began to move.
This time was different—harder, faster, more primal. Our wolves were close to the surface, driving us to reaffirm our bond. Leo’s hands gripped my hips hard enough to leave bruises as he drove into me, and I welcomed the slight pain, my nails raking down his back in response.
"Mine," he snarled against my neck, licking at his mark. "Say it."
"Yours," I gasped, arching to meet each thrust. "Always yours."
When his hand slipped between us to circle the bundle of nerves at my center, my second orgasm crashed through me with unexpected force. Leo followed moments later, his powerful body shuddering above mine as he found his release.
We lay tangled together afterward, sweat-slicked and panting, trading lazy kisses as our heartbeats gradually slowed.
"I could get used to waking up like this," I murmured, tracing patterns on his chest.
"That’s the plan," Leo replied, pulling me closer. "For the next fifty years or so."
"Only fifty?" I raised an eyebrow in mock offense.
His laugh was warm against my hair. "At least a hundred. Though we might need to actually leave this bed occasionally."
"Overrated," I declared, snuggling closer. "I vote we stay here forever."
"As tempting as that is..." Leo sighed, glancing toward the window where sunlight now streamed in earnestly. "We do have responsibilities. The pack will be expecting us to make an appearance eventually."
I groaned, burying my face in his chest. "Can’t Tiny handle things for one more day?"
"He already covered for us last night," Leo reminded me, though his reluctance to move was evident in the way his arms tightened around me. "And there’s the matter of the honeymoon to discuss."
That piqued my interest. "Honeymoon? You never mentioned a honeymoon."
The smug smile that spread across his face told me he’d been keeping secrets. "Two weeks at a private villa in the Greek islands. Just you, me, and the Mediterranean Sea."
I sat up, forgetting my nakedness in my excitement. "Greece? Are you serious?"
"Completely." His eyes darkened as they roamed my exposed body. "Though looking at you now is making me reconsider the necessity of leaving this room at all."
I leaned down to kiss him deeply, pouring all my love and gratitude into the connection. When we finally broke apart, both breathing heavily, I rested my forehead against his.
"Thank you," I whispered. "For everything. "
