When she was done she lowered her gaze to the fresh towel remaining in the bowl and picked it up and before she could stop herself, wrapped her fingers around his need. Arric took in a sharp breath. Eirika slowly used the towel to gently clean him up. Arric felt like she was tutoring him with pleasure. He loved the feel of her hands on him and the tender way she tended to him as if he was precious made his heart constrict. He felt her use the towel to dap his broad tip and then when she moved downward, working her way to his hilt her fingers were stroking the rest of him. His breathing grew gruff and loud. He was certain if she kept that up, he was going to spill all over her hands. Eirika watched as his cum pooled at the tip of his shaft. She knew she had already crossed the boundary of just cleaning him up. She was wet and aching for him too now. She licked her lips at the sight, took a deep breath, and lowered her face to take him in her mouth. "Eiry…" Arric groaned and bucked i

Arric woke up to a gentle knock on the door. His eyes fluttered open and he fixed his gaze on the high ceiling and then lowered it to Eirika’s face that was tucked just at the nook of his neck. Craning his neck, he studied her features for about a minute, adoring her sunkissed skin, small nose, full lips, and long thick eyelashes, before pressing a kiss to her forehead. Gently withdrawing from her. He stood up and gathered her into his arms to carry her to the bed. Pulling the covers over her and up to her shoulders. 'I'll join you downstairs,' Arric said via mind-link and went into the bathroom. 'Yes, boss,' Bishop replied in his head. Arric quickly took a hot shower, threw something on, and left the room. Silently noting how the house now smelt of cleaning products and antiseptic. He followed the smell of the latter to the foyer. "Alpha," the medical personnel greeted him when they saw him. "Hey, thank you, guys," Arric replied, "how is everyone… and York? Jarom?" "I

A few hours later Arric shook Eirika awake and whispered into her ear, "Let's go home, babe." "Okay," she mumbled and turned in his arms to face him. Searching his gaze with a loving glint in her eyes. "You know you can tell me anything you want to, right?" he rasped. Eirika lowered her gaze. "Hey," he said, putting a finger under her chin to make her look at him. "I mean it," he added when she met his gaze. Eirika nodded with the memory of him choking her replaying in her head. She swallowed. Her eyes moistened. Arric sighed and pulled back, getting off the bed, he offered her his hand, and she took it. A few minutes later they both exited the room and headed downstairs and as if on cue everyone started to mill out. Eirika looked around for Toby and Nina. Arric noticed and said, "they are gone. I wanted them out of here before we head out." Eirika nodded, not pleased that she didn't get to say goodbye to her friends but understanding it was all for security. "Ready?" Arric a

Arric cupped her face and said, "As I said, Bishop will watch him. Okay?" he said. She hesitated, searching his gaze, and then nodded. He kissed her forehead and then ushered her inside the room. Eirika drew in a deep breath and released it slowly as she took in the familiar room. Scenes of the last time she was there, replayed in her head. It made her heart constrict, remembering her pain and fears, and wanting to hold on to Arric at the same time. She was amazed she made it back here. She hadn't thought you would ever return. Arric watched the play of emotions on her face, taking off his clothes. He went to stand behind her to wrap his arms around her shoulders and pressed a kiss to the crown of her head. "I'm sorry I didn't trust you to help me… I was scared… terrified, " she whispered. "I could say I was sorry for keeping my identity secret. But I am not sorry," he said. Eirika turned in the circle of his arms to hold his gaze. "I wanted you to get to know me. To trust me…" "

Eirika woke up early, excitement and nerves coursing through her veins as she realized a knock had woken her. Arric was gone as expected yet she still felt a pang of disappointment. "Luna?" Bishop called. "A minute," she called back and quickly got up, running into the bathroom to take her bath and get dressed. Five minutes later she pulled the door open fully dressed and breathing heavily. Bishop gave her a warm smile and with a slight bow said, "I have come to take you to the pack house." "Do I need to pack anything?" "No. Everything you need is already there, Luna," he replied. "Arric?" "He is um… making himself scarce, Luna," he said. She nodded. "Okay, I'm ready," she said in resignation. He smiled and gestured for her to follow him. When Eirika stepped outside she saw that Zenesha was one of her aides. "Hey, good morning," Eirika greeted with a smile. "Good morning, Luna," she replied. "Good morning, Luna," the other three standing with her greeted as well.
