Linda's POVIt was already late evening when Alex and I arrived back home. After dinner, we headed straight to our room. I suddenly felt scared being in the same room with Alex." Don't worry, I won't ask you why you ran away today but Linda, can you not do that again? If there's a problem, approach me and tell me about it. I am sure we can always find a way around it."He sat beside me on the bed, held my face in his hands, and gently wiped away the tears that were forming in my eyes."I don't know. I just felt really scared. At that moment, I just wanted to get away from everything so I ran away. I'm sorry for making you worry. " I replied.Alex smiled at me and placed his lips on my forehead." Don't think too much about it. Just tell me if something is bothering you. I'll try to understand you and help you through it."He kissed my forehead again and I could feel my cheeks burning. I tried to hide my blush by turning my head away.He pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms ar
After having lunch which was of course prepared by me, we headed to our room.My body was yearning for a hot water bath. Heading to the bathroom, I filled the tub with hot water and stripped to the last piece. I then stepped inside, my body relaxing from the touch.The feeling of hot water enveloping my whole body was amazing.It was something that I was really grateful for being able to enjoy after a long day at the beach.I could feel the tiredness of today's event slowly fade away.When I finally felt comfortable, a knock resounded through the bathroom."Can I come in?" Alex requested and I called him in.He approached the tub, two glasses and a bottle of wine in his hands.I figured out that this would help set the mood." He said, smiling at me. I couldn't agree any less.Alex stripped his clothes before joining me in the tub.He placed both glasses down and poured the wine. I took one glass while he took the other, taking a sip.I moaned at the heavenly taste of the drink.It was
The following morning, I woke up, a huge smile on my face as I remembered what happened between Alex and I. The thought alone made warmth pool in my panties, and I found myself growing hot all over again.But as much as I would've liked to spend the rest of the day in bed with my sexy mate, who was by the way not by my side, my stomach was begging me for food, so I slowly rolled out of bed and stretched, letting out a yawn."Morning," a soft voice said, and I turned my head to see Alex standing in the doorway, two cups of coffee in hand. He looked like he'd been awake for a while, and he'd even gotten dressed, whereas I was standing here naked, my body still a little damp from sweat and other fluids.I smiled at him, feeling a bit shy as he came and handed me my cup of coffee, which I graciously accepted. He then wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me against his body as we both sipped the warm, bitter liquid."Did you sleep well?" he asked."Like a baby. '' I said with a chu
After a late lunch, Alex and I decided to play a game to pass time." What do you want to play?" He asked and I shook my head. " I don't know...what do you have?"Alex got up and went over to the closet and opened it. " A lot of games...do you want a card game, board game, or a video game?" He asked and I tapped my chin. " Hmmm...maybe a card game..."" We could play UNO or Poker?" He suggested and I nodded. "UNO sounds fun."Alex came back with the box and started setting the cards up." What are the stakes?" I asked him and he gave me a smirk. " How about every time we get one of each color, we take an item of clothing off."I blushed. " You just want me naked again." I accused.He looked at me and smirked. " Damn right, I do."I shook my head. " Fine. But don't complain when you're the first one naked." I replied.He shrugged and handed me my cards. " Ready?"I nodded and put down a yellow card. He put a yellow four and we went on with the game.We played and he did end up getting
Today Alex decided that we would go hiking and then camp at the top of the mountain and spend our last day of the trip there.The mountain was not particularly tall or impressive, but I'd never hiked one before. As such, I was quite excited about the whole thing.We got up at the crack of dawn and made some simple breakfast. After packing up our bags, we set off.We started out following a dirt path that ran parallel to the road, but before long we were making our own way straight up the side of the mountain.We weren't in any particular rush, and there was no end goal or objective, so it was pretty enjoyable. There were no other people around, either." As a child, I have always wanted to do the things other children did, but I was never able to." I said, taking a memory lane down the ladder." Why is that?" Alex asked, seemingly curious." Now that I think about it, my parents have always been extra careful with me. One time, we went playing deep into the woods and we were attacked.
The night was spent cuddling and star gazing. Alex did not try to make any moves on me and I was thankful for that. After all the hiking and all, my body was too spent to engage in anything else physical. So, we just held each other tight as the night breeze blew over us and we were both fast asleep.The next day we packed up all of our belongings, which was not much to be fair. Then we trekked our way down to the car. I could not believe how much time it had taken for us to climb the trail the first time. The walk down was nothing compared to what it had been when going up. I wasn't complaining though, it was a new experience for me and an exciting one for that matter.When we got to the car, I had the feeling that my adventure was coming to an end. I was kind of sad but happy at the same time. It would be nice to have a soft bed to lay on and the promise of a hot shower.We climbed in the car and Alex started the engine. The drive back to the castle was a bit longer than expected bu
The following morning, I woke up to the sound of the door being knocked. Groaning, opened my eyes lazily, the sudden assault of light forcing me to shut them again. The knocking continued, however, and I had to sit up to rub my head, feeling a headache coming."I'm coming!" I grumbled, pulling myself out of bed. Stumbling over the carpet, I made my way to the door, and unlocked it, opening it wide enough to peek outside. On the other side of the door stood Valeria who had a grin on her face." Welcome back, your highness!" She teased and I rolled my eyes at her." What brings you here?"" Nothing much. You missed breakfast, so I decided to bring you something." She said, pushing the door wider and walked in, a small basket hanging from one of her arms. I shut the door and sat down at the table where she placed the basket down and proceeded to arrange the plates of food." So? Did you have fun?" She asked, taking a seat opposite to me and leaning forward with a smirk on her face." Wel
Alex POVI was in the middle of a meeting with Leo and my most trusted border patrol guards when the scent of my mate enveloped me. My beast purred in delight.A moment later, the door to my office burst open and Linda arrived, panting hard.She seemed to be having trouble catching her breath, so I got up to approach her, but before I could take more than a step forward, she blurted out, "You can't destroy it!"I stopped dead in my tracks, my mind going blank as I tried processing what she was talking about."You can't destroy what?" I asked, confused.Linda took a deep, calming breath before saying, "The Elysium Poison . You can't destroy it. Without it, I can't produce the cure. The poison has been spreading in the city and I have been trying to make the antidote. The poison itself is my only hope. " She explained, making me furrow my brows." Your only hope?" I asked and she nodded." Yes, I will have to study the poison and understand it well before I can produce an antidote. As I
