The Alpha King's Nemesis-Chapter 109: Whatever Mhíjani Wants ()

Askel growled low in his throat, his mind going blank as Zariah’s soft lips melded perfectly with his, confirming what he already knew...that all that Zariah was, was made perfectly for him, just as he was for her.

Askel returned Zariah’s kiss without hesitation, his heart racing as the fiery embers of desire lit up within him,

Askel’s hands dropped to her waist pulling her even closer to himself, the feel of her lips snapping every last strand of control Askel had been holding onto.

Her scent engulfed him, enchanting and maddening as it always was and the feel of her soft curves pressed up against him stirred Askel in ways he had not thought possible, awakening an overwhelming desire that heated Askel’s loins.

What was this feeling? What was this maddening desire? How could one person have so much control over him that he completely fell apart just at her touch? How had she even thought for one second that he would be able to let her go? To be apart from her?

"Mine!’ Askel’s wolf and beast roared in his mind, their words laced with intense possession.

Askel drew Zariah even closer to himself, the closer she was, the closer he wanted her to be. The warmth of her breath melding with his only heightened his desire for her and every point their skin met, sparks exploded, the electrifying jolts running through him, fueling his already raging desires.

Zariah did not resist his touch as Askel tightened his grip on her waist, while his right hand lifted from her waist to her hair, his fingers intertwining with those lush red tresses, still damp from her bath.

Askel tugged slightly as Zariah pulled away from him, a shaky gasp escaping her lips as Askel trailed his lips down her throat, his tongue tasting her heated skin whilst soft groans of approval rumbled in his throat.

Askel could barely think, her presence, her scent, her sensuality, her delectable body, everything about her consumed his mind, all he could think of was her, all he could feel was her, all he wanted...no needed, was to have her even closer to him.

"You.Drive.Me.Crazy." Askel murmured in between kisses, his tone thickened with desire as his lips made their way to Zariah’s neck, his tongue lavishing every inch of her skin with all his attention and soon, his teasing tongue found that spot his mark was meant to rest.

Askel smirked as he was rewarded with a feverish moan from Zariah, her hands clutching him tighter whilst her head tilted to the side to grant Askel more access.

Askel’s heart skipped multiple beats to see Zariah still did not resist him or push him away but instead held tighter unto him as though she feared if she loosened her grip, he would disappear.

Askel growled low at the mere thought of leaving his mate’s side, Askel would much rather die a thousand times before he even considered it and even if she was the one who decided to leave his side, Askel would still never let go of her, not in this lifetime or the next.

Askel felt his canines elongate as he grazed it over that spot slightly, hissing quietly when Zariah whimpered, arching her body into his, so close Askel could feel the perky buds of her bountiful bosom and Askel hissed again, his desire overriding his sanity as he lamented the barrier of clothing between them.

Zariah’s body reacted to him in ways that utterly satisfied him yet awakened the predator locked up within, Askel’s hands trembled as he tilted his head up, sucking in a deep breath in an attempt to restrain his wolf.

Askel knew Zariah only let him have his way because she had begun to trust him, not because she was ready to bear his mark,

Askel understood Zariah only wanted to reassure him, that he was not insignificant to her and she knew the best way was to let him see for himself, just what effect he had on her and how much she craved his touch.

Askel understood Zariah was not ready yet...he had made the mistake of loosing control to his wolf once and had nearly marked her against her will, he would not do it again.

And so, with great difficulty, Askel forced his wolf and beast to the back of his mind.

"When? When can I make you mine...completely? I crave you Mhijani, all of you." Askel murmured quietly, lifting his gaze to Zariah’s, knowing his gaze would be darkened with desire, the thick scent of his arousal palpable.

Askel hid nothing from her, he wanted Zariah to see his desire for her reflected in his eyes, he wanted her to see how he completely lost control in her presence.

Askel watched Zariah’s eyes ,he knew she could sense his arousal clearly and his gaze darted down to her lips when she tugged her bottom lip between her teeth, biting down on it lightly, an unconscious action but enough to reveal to Askel that he was not the only one fighting to restrain himself.

Askel lifted a hand and brushed back the strands of hair from her face, a tender smile on his lips as she leaned into his touch.

"I know your heart Askel, but I have my demons, most of which I cannot speak of...not yet." Zariah replied with a quiet sigh.

Askel’s heart ached at Zariah’s response but he reminded himself that it was okay, at least she was no longer pushing him away or attempting to reject him, and that cold wariness with which she regarded him was also gone...which meant he was getting to her, slowly..but surely.

"Take your time Mhijani...I am here and I am not leaving." Askel said.

Askel was willing to wait, till Zariah was ready to fully accept him, he would stand by her side and wait for her, no matter how long it took.

And when she was finally ready, Askel would take his time to taste every inch of her delectable body till she would be unable to think of anything else, anyone else...but him.

"So, you never told me what you needed me to do." Askel pointed out as he pulled open the door to Zariah’s quarters, nodding for her to go in before he stepped in behind her.

Zariah passed him a confused glance to which Askel lightly flicked her forehead at her silliness.

"Ow! What was that for?!" Zariah exclaimed,

"For putting yourself in danger again. This had better be the last time you get up to things like this. I reckon you’ve already shortened my lifespan by two decades." Askel murmured in an aggrieved tone.

Zariah chuckled quietly as she headed to her bed and picked up a clean pair of robes.

"Also, as I said, tell me what you need me to do. You cannot have come up with such a grand plan without having anything in mind for the Ethereal Domain and I." Askel continued.

"Am I becoming so predictable?" Zariah asked turning to fix Askel with a questioning look.

"Your mate is to be executed Askel, what would be the most convincing reaction?" Zariah asked with a raised brow.

Zariah did not need to speak further, Askel already understood what she was hinting at and he chuckled quietly.

Askel had come to terms with the fact that he would always be in awe of Zariah, she always seemed to have a plan and even when it seemed as though she was cornered, it eventually ended up to be all a part of her plan too.

The Crimson Moon was truly deserving of it’s fame, to think their head warrior could control the fate of the Sea Kingdom with her wits alone.

Zariah was unlike any woman Askel had ever encountered before, she was smart, strong, unyielding, cold and scheming, though some would see most of these as intimidating traits, Askel could not be more mystified.

"I will have Luther send a message to Dechlan, my warrior wolves will be on stand by, on your order, they will lay siege to the Western Sea Shores." Askel said,

"Also, Nile has been gone for so long, he is not accustomed to hardships. I fear this must be very hard on him." Zariah added,

Askel sighed quietly, again his mate was more concerned about everyone else than she was about her ownself.

"I will find him and bring him safely to you, along with the merman and the trident." Askel relented, as long as he could ease Z bariah’s burden, he was even willing to save the annoying merman.

"Are you going to say yes to every of my request?" Zariah teased, tilting her head to the side.

Askel nodded without hesitation, wondering if his mate still did not understand that he was willing to do anything for her, even if it meant giving her his life.

As long as she wanted it, Askel would give her the world on a golden platter...

"Whatever Mhijani wants...she gets. As long as you want it, I will give you everything." Askel vowed solemnly.
