The Alpha's Dark Revenge novel Chapter 61

Liyah's POV

I couldn't control my laughter as I watched Nikolai blink in pain as the spaghetti sauce got into his eye. He had been slurping each strand of pasta all through the meal. He should have known that it would eventually get into his eyes.

"Help me," He pleaded, groaning in pain as he rushed to the tap and began to splash cold water into his eyes.

After I had had enough fun watching him struggle, I stood. Walking to the kitchen cabinet, I took out the salt container, putting some in my hand and walking over to him. "Water won't help. Lick this."

He eyed me with his good eye looking down at the salt in my hand suspiciously. "How's that supposed to help?"

Rolling my eyes, I went on my tiptoes and tilted my palm to let the salt fill his mouth. His grimaced from the taste and I chuckled. He was like a different person, weird and goofy. I found it extremely adorable and I began to suspect that behind his tough exterior he might really just be a teddy bear.

"Wow, it really works," He said, blinking his eye open. "Where did you learn that?" I couldn't remember so I shrugged. I think I might've read it somewhere in a book. But I wasn't sure.

As I dumped the plates we had just used in the sink, I whipped around suddenly remembering something. "You owe me a song. I'd like it now, thank you."

"Right now?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.

I glared at him. "You're not about to back away now."

Laughing, he sighed. "Fine." I watched in anticipation as he walked to the other end of the room and took the large piece of cloth off the piano. When we arrived here earlier the cabin had already been cleaned. A blush crepeed up my face as I remembered that Annalise and Drew had really planned all of this through. The cabin was literally spotless. It was one of those places that was medium sized and comfy, yet luxurious all the same.

"You do know I haven't played in years right? So excuse me if I'm a little rusty."

I nodded absentmindedly, too busy noticing how cute he looked sitting in the bench that was too small for him. My mouth fell open when he began to play. My lips widened into a smile as I watched his fingers flow through the keys as he played a piece I wasn't familiar with.

"Wow," I breathed. "You're really good."

"Would you like to try?"

"M-me?" I blushed. I wasn't really familiar with the piano. "I used to play a little when I was younger. I think I can only play one song."

"Come on..." He prodded, beckoning me to the bench. I stared down at the keys trying to remember how I was supposed to play. Still unsure, I tried and surprisingly I was right. As I continued to play, he joined in.

We both began to laugh when we finished and no matter how hard I tried I could seem to wipe the smile off my face. I didn't remember the last time I was this happy.

He was staring at me when I looked back in his direction for some reason my heartbeat quickened. I didn't know how to act whenever he placed those piercing silver eyes on me.

He was the most gorgeous man I had ever laid my eyes on. And the effect he had on me was evident in the way my knees suddenly weakened each time he looked at me like that. After the kiss the other time, I hadn't been able to get it off my mind. Sometimes when he came very close during training, I would completely forget to concentrate on what was at hand and begin to stare at his lips.

And now I couldn't stop staring. The laughter in his eyes from earlier was now clouded by desire and as he reached out to take my hand in his, I felt goosebumps of anticipation spread all over me.

"Liyah..." He breathed.

The way he said my name had me reeling. He placed a hand on the small of my back, pulling me closer to him until our lips were inches apart.

"Yes.." I whimpered, just before he covered my lips with his in a slow kiss, tenderly as first but as the kiss intensified, he pressed harder, making me moan in the back of my throat. The taste of his hot kisses trailing from my bottom lip to my neck and down to my chest ran me wild with pleasure.

Slowly, he rubbed my shoulders in circles, kissing each of them gently as he lowered the spaghetti strap of my blouse.

Something thumped in my stomach as the blouse fell to my waist leaving me exposed in my bra. I saw the admiration and desire in his eyes as he fixed his eyes on my chest. I suddenly began to feel uncomfortable.

But I didn't want to pull my blouse back up.

I wanted him to... touch me.

He expertly unhooked my bra, sucking in a sharp breath when my breasts fell free. "Fuck... you're so beautiful."

I looked away shyly shaking as he stared at my breasts as though he had never seen anything like it. I wasn't sure how to tell him they were aching.

They were aching so much. As my nipples hardened under his stare, he moaned, pulling me forward. Lowering his head, he cupped one of my breasts and began to suck gently.

I screamed in pleasure, whimpering when he replaced his fingers with his hard, throbbing cock. My eyes widened at how huge he was.

But I didn't care.

I wanted him.

I needed him.

Spreading my legs wider apart, he gently eased into me, pausing at intervals to check if I was okay.

Frustrated, I bucked my hips only stopping when he was fully inside me. As he began to pump, my legs shook.

His thrusts went from slow and careful to fast and wanting, gripping my butt as he pounded. I went crazy when his fingers reached down to tug on my nipples. Soon both our moans melded into each other as we climaxed at the same time.

As he released, I heard him let out a loud growl, almost like he was shifting, but before I could react he had brought his mouth to my neck, biting down on it for a few seconds.

I gasped from the slight pain feeling blood trickle down my neck as a strange sensation pumped through me.

'Mate.'

I turned around in surprise. Nikolai smiled back at me.

I shut my eyes. I thought I had heard someone speak.

I faced Nikolai when he placed a light kiss to the spot where he had bitten. I couldn't help but feel shy as he admired my nude form.

He had marked me as his mate. I was his now. I lowered my eyes when he kissed my forehead, placing my head on his chest as he ran his fingertips down my back.

And as he cradled me in his arms, I decided there and then that this had to be the best feeling in the world.
