Chapter 28
Freya
“I awaited his initiative, yearning for him to convey his desire for me as strongly as I desired him. During our meal with the King, I purposefully refrained from sitting beside him, intending to convey my lingering anger. Yet, despite this, a conflicting desire for his presence persisted. In our bedroom, he preceded me to the bathroom, and as I began to lose hope upon seeing him lying down, he surprised me by sitting on the bed once I emerged. Clad only in a towel, I proceeded to blow-dry my hair, neglecting to dress first.
Upon locking eyes, an unspoken tension was palpable. Sensing he harbored something to share, I could not endure the suspense and questioned him. As he approached, I felt my heart race, attempting to maintain composure. I feared he could discern my emotions through the rhythm of my heartbeat and sought to avoid embarrassment.
The animosity I harbored dissolved when he pressed his face against my neck. His touch was intoxicating, and I struggled to project strength, reluctant to appear too eager. I desired him to reciprocate before fully surrendering to him, a moment that eventually arrived. Though it didn’t culminate in actual intercourse, he brought me to climax repeatedly, showcasing his prowess and my intense longing. However, my concern lingered, puzzled by his decision not to take me completely.
“Babe,” his voice interrupted my thoughts, drawing my gaze. Having been alone with him in our bedroom, I assumed the address was directed at me. “Calvin and I will be leaving tomorrow,” he revealed, furrowing my brow at the unexpected news. Was I manipulated into vulnerability only to face solitude? “Before you react, let me explain,” he implored, prompting a sigh from me as I awaited clarification.
“We’re conducting an investigation, and crucial information prompted our departure two days ago. I’ll return before the full moon. In my absence, continue your training with Rapha.”
“Why are you telling me this?” I questioned.
“Because you’re my mate, and you deserve to know the reason behind my departure and how long I’ll be away,” he responded. “I didn’t want our misunderstandings to persist. I appreciate that you allowed me back in. For all the pain I’ve caused, let me make amends and assure you of my commitment,” he ce
“You should know that I am not going to stop you from doing whatever you want about the kingdom’s business. Letting me know that you’re leaving well at least made me feel at ease.” I told him.
He smiled at me, and, oh goddess, he was really handsome. How can the moon goddess have gifted me with a mate like him? “After what happened earlier, it will be hard for me to leave tomorrow. It was already hard thinking I had to leave you alone, and now that I have tasted you, I don’t know what I am going to do when your nakedness comes to mind.”
“Pervert!” I exclaimed, and he laughed. He hugged me, and then I realized that he was still in his clothes. I didn’t do anything for him, which worries me.
“Don’t, baby; I am fine,” he said. He must have felt what I was feeling. He took my hand and placed it on his crotch, and my eyes widened. “Yes, baby. I did cum as well as you did,” he added, and he kissed me again.
“Thank you; at least I am going to leave tomorrow without thinking about how angry you are at me for leaving you alone.”
“Just come back safe and in one piece. You got that?” I said, and he smiled and nodded. We slept hugging each other, and even if he was going to leave tomorrow, I am still happy that we are OK now.
I woke up in the morning with a feeling that someone was looking at me. I saw Matteo’s smiling face when I opened my eyes, which made me smile at him too. “Good morning, baby,” he said before he kissed me. Even if I was feeling conscious because of my morning breath, I still kissed him back. It was hard not to, you know.
“Are you going to leave now?” I asked while he tried to help me sit up. I wanted to know where he and Calvin were going, but I had a feeling that it was confidential, thinking he was the one who needed to be there.
“After we had our breakfast,” he replied, and I nodded. I went to the bathroom and started to freshen up. I didn’t want him to wait for me or get delayed because of me. “We will have our breakfast on the royal floor’s balcony,” he said after I was done getting dressed.
“OK,” I replied, and we walked hand in hand on the way to the balcony. No one goes there except him and the King. The 10th floor is specifically for the royals, and that includes me now.
“Dad eats with the others downstairs.” He told me, “I want us to be alone so we will be able to talk about anything about us.”
“You might want to do that when you come back. The whole day will not be enough for my stories alone.” I replied, and he laughed loudly.
“I’m almost 100 years old, and I guess mine was more than yours.” “I bet you do.”
“Look, baby. I might be gone for a long time, so I want you to take care of yourself. Let Camila know what you want and what you need, and never leave without her,” he said, and I nodded. I want him to go on his mission without worrying about me, so he will be able to focus on what he needs to do. The more that he knew that I was safe, the more that he was well too.
We continued eating, and when we were done, I felt a little sad. I was happy talking to him over a meal, and I wanted to stop him from leaving, but I knew that it was not right. I sighed and didn’t notice that he was already looking at me. I just felt his hand take mine, bring it to his lips, and kiss it. “I didn’t want to go as well, but I had to. I’m sorry for making you feel that way,” he said, kissing me. It was long and deep, so I draped my arms around his neck, and the next thing I knew was that I was already on his lap, grinding my femininity into his manhood. Goddess, I want him.
“Fu**, baby. If I am not going to stop now, I don’t think that I will be able to leave,” he said, and I didn’t want that. I smiled and said,
“I’m sorry, I guess I got a little excited.”
“I was too; you just don’t know how much,” he replied. “Be ready to be totally taken when I return. I am not going to hold back anymore,” he added, and I nodded.
“I will be here, waiting.” He smiled and kissed me again before we got up and went down to where Calvin and a few warriors were waiting for him. I had already delayed their trip, and I didn’t want to delay them even more.
The teasing looks of everyone were on us when we took the last step. “Don’t tease; we just made up, and I didn’t want you to ruin that,” he told his future beta, who had raised his hands in surrender, grinning.
We started to walk out of the palace, and everyone was going into the SUV. Matteo stopped and looked at me before he gave me that breathtaking kiss once again. We’re both catching our breaths when we stop. “Be careful here, OK?” he said as he wiped the side of my lips with his thumb. Goddess, I want to suck it in.
“Stop it, baby,” he said in a low voice. “What?” I asked, confused.
“You wanted to suck my thumb,” he replied, and my face turned red. “Yes, it was very obvious. The way you looked at me, your desire for me was very visible on your face,” he added, chuckling.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Fine, just take care of yourself too,” I said, so they could leave.
“Alright,” he replied, giving me a quick kiss. Goddess, I miss him already.
