CHAPTER 32
LOGAN’S POV
I had truly wanted to keep kissing her all night long, but unfortunately, I was being very careful as not to push her away. I stayed awake for the rest of the night, watching her as she slept. Oh, goddess! She was sooo beautiful. Her full black curls spread out on every angle of the pillow where she laid her head, as her breasts rose and fell softly with each breathe she took. I looked at the sharp line of her jaw and the pointed structure of her nose, forcing myself not to touch her face. She was a light sleeper, and any little touch could wake her up.
Suddenly, my last discussion with Alpha Ryan resurfaced in my mind, and a small frown made its way to my face. I quickly looked away from Audrey’s sleeping face, and turned to the other side of the bed. I didn’t want to look at her, while those thoughts ran through my mind.
Ryan had asked me to be careful around Audrey. Apparently, he suspects she and her parents may be involved in Sebastian’s plan. But then again, if they had, they wouldn’t have happily let me marry Audrey. Throughout the wedding ceremony, I never noticed a bad energy from them. They possibly wouldn’t have been supporting Sebastian’s plan.
Also, Audrey is pretty much warming up to me. I do not think she has an idea about it all. If anything, I feel sorry for her, knowing how disappointed she may be, to find out what Sebastian has been up to all along. If only Ralia’s mate had enough information about Sebastian’s plans, we wouldn’t be so much in the dark.
Ryan and I had come up with a very concrete plan for the coronation event. No matter how much I tried to act like I was okay, I really wasn’t. Seeing as I haven’t shifted into my wolf form yet, it may take little to nothing for Sebastian to win me in a duel. Who knows? He may probably even kill me. Atleast, this plan that Ryan had come up with, helps to put my mind at rest a bit.
I readjusted my body on the bed, and positioned myself in a way that my head was facing the ceiling. I kept my eyes locked in on the beautiful designs of the ceiling and after a while, I felt Audrey snuggle into my side. A helpless smile appeared on my face, and I adjusted my body in a way to accommodate her. In unconscious synchrony, she snuggled in deeper until we were both a perfect fit. I released a small sigh, enjoying how warm her body felt against mine. Her lips were slightly parted as she slept, but I couldn’t perceive the slightest bad breathe from her. It made me want to kiss her again, but for a second time, I had to refrain. I stayed in my cuddled up position with her, and didn’t even realize when I slept off.

A FEW DAYS LATER
As we read together in the library, I lost focus at some point.
“You’re staring again.” She muttered, not looking away from her book. I could see a small smile on her face, and it made my belly feel like jelly. We had repeated this particular scene a lot of times in the past few days. She’d catch me looking at her while we were busy with something else, and when she made a comment about it, all I’d do was laugh. Today was going to be different though. I was going to give her my honest response.
“You’re beautiful. Soooo fucking beautiful.” I whispered. Immediately, her smile disappeared, and I could swear her entire face turned pink. “Heyyy…” I took her hand in mine, expecting her to pull away, but I was surprised. She held onto my hand as well.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why?” She whispered, but I didn’t really understand what she was asking.
“What?”
“Nothing.” She shook her head and forced a small smile on her face. I knew something bothered her, and that bothered me as well.
“Hey.” I muttered, squeezing her hand lightly. “Are you sure you are fine?” I asked, half expecting her to flare up and walk out on me. I was once more surprised when she slowly nodded her head in response.
“I’m fine.” Just then, the door of the library was pulled open, and a maid walked in. “It’s time for me to go join your sister.” She whispered with a more convincing smile that showed she was truly happy to be out with Layla again. When I returned from my trip to the cold moon pack, I found out Layla had been spending the evenings with Audrey in her gallery.
I never knew Audrey actually had a thing for art until now. I could also tell Layla was excited to have company that she didn’t necessarily have to force. Liam only accompanied her to the gallery because he didn’t want her to be alone, and not because he actually loved art. Leah use to be thrilled to work with Layla as well, but she suddenly stopped visiting the palace ever since the annual ball. I guess she was disappointed to see that I had found my mate after all.
“I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be letting you leave today.” I said.
“Why?” She gave a small frown that I honestly thought was cute.
“Because I want us to spend some more time together.”
“But you have barely left my side since you returned from your travels.”
“Ohhh…” I found myself smiling. “I’m becoming too clingy now, I guess?” I released a small sigh. To be honest, I loved the fact that she was bonding with my sister. It meant the world to me.
“No!” She rushed out in defense, but I waved off her apparent worry.
“Don’t worry, I understand.” I nodded. “You can leave. Make sure to enjoy yourself while at it.”
“Are you sure?” She asked, and I smiled.
“Yes, of course.” I closed the book in my hand and stood up from where I had been sitting. “I would be heading to my private study now. I have some works to tend to. If you need anything, you can just come there and meet me.”
“So you have works to get done?” She chuckled in disbelief. “Yet, you have been here with me the whole day?”
“Don’t flatter yourself.” I laughed heartily. “I am here because I love to read. Plus, I don’t really have so much work to do.”
“Ohhhh, I see. For a moment there, I thought I heard you say that you wished to spend some time with me.” She almost sounded disappointed.
“And I thought I heard you express your boredom over being with me?”
“That isn’t true, Logan. I can never say that.” She with such certainty that inflated my ego. She did love to spend time with me, and it made me glad.
In that moment, my eyes fell on her soft pink lips, and all I could think about was kissing them. Ever since the other night that we had shared that hot kiss, we both have not had another. I wasn’t sure if she longed to kiss me again, but I sure as hell did. The problem was just that I didn’t want her thinking I was taking liberties, so I decided to be patient. If there was anything I knew about Audrey, it was the fact she was bold. If she really wanted another kiss to happen between us, she’d make the move. I had been patiently waiting for that move for days now, and it was safe to say that I was becoming desperate. So fucking desperate.
“Leave us.” I directed my words at the maid that had come to get Audrey. At the sound of my order, she gave a slight bow and walked away. Audrey threw me a confused look, and the moment the door closed shut after the maid, I pulled her closer by the waist and closed the small distance between our faces. Immediately I placed my lips on hers, responded with such urgency that surprised me. Stretching my tongue into the warm crevice of her mouth, she suckled on it, her arms snaking themselves around my neck.
Goddess! She wanted me too, and I didn’t know how exactly to feel about it, so I poured all my emotions into our kiss.
Before I knew it, I had hiked her up, her legs tightly clasping themselves around my waist. I walked towards another table in the library, with her clinging so tightly to my body. Gently dropping her form on the table, we pulled away from each other’s lips for some air. She spread her thighs apart, giving me the space I needed to get closer to her. I could feel this certain energy surge through my body, but just couldn’t explain it. It felt so good, and made me feel extremely powerful in that moment. Before I could comprehend my next actions, I had grabbed her neck and pulled her face closer to mine again.
Softly rubbing the tip of my nose against hers, the hot breathe from her mouth fanned against my face, and I began to feel these wonderful tingly sensations all over my body. Just the same way I had felt it couple of nights ago, when we first kissed. Was this what it meant for someone to be another’s mate? Did she also feel this sensations as well? Her hands went up to my neck, trying to pull me closer for another kiss. Giving in to her need, I smashed my lips against hers and we both kissed each other with raw hunger. It made me wonder why we had starved ourselves of such bliss all these while. I felt her hands caress the expanse of my chest through my shirt, and I loved the feeling it emanated within me.
Immediately, I pulled my lips away from hers, trailing wet kisses from her chin, down to her neck. She released low sighs of satisfaction, and it only pushed me over the edge. My hands reflexly spread her thighs wider, and I pressed my body closer to hers. She had been wearing a short floral gown, which had pretty much gone up her thighs. With how wide I had spread her legs apart, I could literally smell her feminine scent from beneath, and it drove me crazy. Without thinking, I found myself grinding my swollen cock against her crotch. I was pleased when she held my neck more tightly, and grinded against me as well.
We were both losing it, and it couldn’t be helped. I grinded harder against her, and she released a very low moan that did a lot of things to my mind.
“Your highness, I’m still waiting outside.” We suddenly heard the maid say, and instantly broke off our kiss. Still, I found myself grinding against her as she moved in sync with me, our mouths fanning hot breathes against each other’s faces.
“Arrghh.” Audrey released another low sigh, clasping her legs around my waist.
“Please.” I found myself panting hard as I kept grinding against her. “You need to leave.”
“Yes.” She breathed out, capturing my lips with hers again. We kissed each other roughly for a few more seconds, before breaking off. She released her legs which were tightly clasped around my waist, and I stepped a few inches away from her. We both panted so hard, as she hopped down the table I had placed her on. She adjusted her gown to cover her thighs properly, before walking away, probably too shy to spare me a last glance. The moment she left, I released a deep sigh of satisfaction and disbelief.
What just happened? I couldn’t believe it!
