(Eleanor pov)
I was awoken by a soft knock on the door, I hadnât realized how long I slept for or what time it even was..all I knew was I felt like I had been hit by a dang semi-truck. My body was so sore in places I didnât even know was possible..I didnât even feel like we worked out hard enough to warrant this amount of being sore.
âEleanor, are you awake?â I heard Damionâs deep voice call through the door, causing my heart to flutter as I sat up in bed trying not to wince from the quick movement.
âYes, Iâm up.â I spoke softly, unsure if he even heard me.
Suddenly the door opened slowly, and what I saw took my complete breath away. Damion was wearing a white button-up shirt with his sleeves rolled up halfway and black slacks. The top three buttons of his shirt were undone revealing his smooth chest. His golden hair was flowing beautifully down his shoulders. He looked clean-shaven now and I almost regretted not being able to touch his stubble from earlier this morning.
He looked incredible, my eyes unable to leave him as he stepped forward into the room. I was shamefully wearing one of his large t-shirts, having broken down and given in after needing his scent around me.
He stepped next to the bed, looking down at me nervously. Wait, why was he nervous? Why was he dressed up as well? Was there an event I didnât know about or something? The mere idea made my stomach tighten with knots.
âEleanor, there is something I have for you. If thatâs okay..I donât want to force you to do anything if you arenât ready yet.â His eyes were deep with emotion. Something was going on, he seemed really serious, and he called me Eleanor again.
I nodded my head, pulling the covers off as he helped me slide out of bed. I couldnât help but let out a small wince as my legs hit the floor.
âAre you okay?â He asked hastily, looking me up and down for the cause of my pain.
âYeah, Iâm just..a little sore from this morning.â Oh goddess, how embarrassing to admit that, especially to this powerhouse.
Damion let out a sigh of relief, nodding his head as he took my hand carefully. The action made those butterflies I had become so familiar with burst through me once again. Just one touch from Damion and all of my worries simply disappeared.
âYou should take a hot bath after this, it will help loosen up your muscles. You worked really hard today..â he kept glancing down at me, I felt like he was afraid I would fall at any moment or something.
âThat sounds really nice..sorry for sleeping so long, I didnât realize..â I felt bad for some reason, I wonder what he was doing the whole time..why did I feel like I had been missing out all of a sudden?
âNo, it all worked out perfectly. Okay, come this way.â He walked me through the dimly lit kitchen, his hand holding me tight as he looked ahead anxiously.
Suddenly, music began to play, startling me as the song âStand by Meâ started to flow around us. Causing my breath to catch as I glanced up, seeing a pathway lit up by candles leading into the living room. Hundreds of flowers were scattered throughout the room, making the sight completely breathtaking as Damion looked down at me with captivation.
âDid..did you do all of this?â I breathed, completely blown away as Damion nodded nervously.
I looked back towards the living room, seeing something in the middle of the table. After studying it for a while I realized it was a cake..curiously I walked forward with Damion still holding my hand gently.
Pulling him along, I couldnât help but glance at my mate, the candlelight flickering in his blue eyes as he watched me intently.
I peered down, examining the cake, the frosting was lopsided and I think a chunk of the cake was accidentally ripped off and shoved back on with more frosting. Jane obviously didnât make this..then my heart stopped.
âDid you..did you make this Damion?â The words tumbled out of me. As soon as his head nodded once more every single reservation, every single doubt and fear I had came crashing down.
âI know it doesnât look that good, but I remember once you offered to make me a cake..to show your thanks..well, being the a*****e I was back then, I stupidly refused. But now, I want to thank you, Eleanor, I want to thank you for every second you have filled my life. For every single moment that you have shared with me and how open you have been from the start.â He took a deep shuddering breath, turning me to face him as my eyes were still glued to that hideously beautiful cake.
âBunny, if I could go back, I wish I could change how I did things..I wish I could have known from the start that you were the one piece missing from inside of me. That with you, I feel whole for the first time in my life..but I canât change it..I can only learn from those mistakes and vow to never make them again, to never hurt you again. To love you until my dying breath and promise to cherish every single moment I get with you..because every moment is worth remembering.â He spoke deeply and with meaning. I could see that every word came straight from his heart and I couldnât help the tears that began to fall steadily down my cheeks.
âPlease, please donât cry..if you need more time, or if you are having reservations still..â he began, his hands reaching up to my face as he started wiping my tears away.
How could I have ever doubted this manâs feelings for one single moment..how could I of thought he was lying when I know this man..I know Damion inside and out..I know how beautiful his soul is and how kind his heart is. He might of done things wrong in the past, but that was before he gave all of himself to me..
âIâm not..crying..because Iâm sad..â I somehow managed to choke out, feeling so blown away that he did all of this for me.
He looked at me patiently, giving me time to catch my breath as he continued to wipe my tears.
âIâm cr-crying because I love you..and I missed you so much.â I sobbed, pulling on Damionâs shirt as I pressed my face into his chest. Bawling my eyes out like a big baby..I didnât want it to go like this..what the hell..
âOh Bunny, I missed you too..I missed you more than I ever thought was possible. I was going crazy.â He chuckled, relief washing over him as he began kissing the top of my head and inhaling my scent. I canât lie, I was breathing him in too..itâs like my lungs missed him as well.
âYou baked me a cake.â I laugh-cried, looking over at the monstrosity.
âI did.. letâs just say Iâm not giving up my day job.â He muttered, making me laugh more.
âI bet it tastes great.â I said encouragingly but still slightly apprehensive.
âWell, we can try it if you like.â He offered, he seemed nervous again. I know this is definitely out of his comfort zone, so for him to bake a cake and present it like this really shows how much he cares.
âOkay.â I nodded my head and let him pull me towards the couch where he swiftly pulled me into his lap and pressed a long deep k**s against my lips.
âf**k Bunny, I missed you so much.â He whispered against me, making my stomach flip as I kissed him back just as passionately.
Listen, it had only been one day..one freaking day and it felt like years..thatâs how hard those twenty-four hours were and I hope I never have to do that again.
âLetâs try the cake before we forget about it.â I mumbled against his soft skin.
âIâm okay with that..you and I both know this cake is going to taste like shit.â He said while wrapping his arms around me tighter.
âStop..I bet it wonât..come on we have to try it.â I slapped his chest playfully, pulling away slightly as he frowned.
âFine..I guess the Alpha King is probably good at everything, naturally right?â He teased, acting full of himself now as I rolled my eyes.
âMhmm, Iâm sure.â I grumbled, making him laugh as he took a plate that was sitting next to the cake.
âOkay let me just cut it.â Damion reached around me, grabbing the knife, and sliding off a big chunk of cake that instantly fell apart on the plate.
He looked at the plate frowning, confused at what just happened and I tried my hardest not to laugh.
âThat means nothing, letâs eat.â I smiled, suppressing my laugh because he did try so hard. No matter what, I would say itâs delicious..itâs the least I can do and if he followed some basic recipe the cake should taste pretty good no matter how it looks.
âOkay, you first.â He offered, sacrificing me for tribute as he stabbed a piece with his fork and went to feed it to me.
I opened my mouth, expecting a sweet vanilla cake..oh no..no no no, something isnât right. I tried my hardest not to spit it back out. Why is it so salty?! And..and crunchy? I somehow managed to swallow it, seeing Damionâs hopeful eyes as I nodded my head and smiled.
âItâs really great babe!â I lied through my teeth, making this the best damn performance of my life as his eyes lit up with excitement. From what I can tell, the frosting was the only saving grace of this thing..but that cake..I think he added salt instead of sugar..seriously.
âLet me try.â He said excitedly, and I panicked, stopping the fork mid-bite.
âWait, let me feed you..please.â I batted my eyelashes, pushing his chest back as I straddled his lap. Not wanting his hopes and dreams to be crushed. I know I shouldnât lie, but he was such a good boy and he tried so damn hard. Itâs like if a kid asks if their art is good and itâs a piece of macaroni glued onto some tree bark or something. Of course you say itâs the best damn thing youâve ever seen in your life. Well, thatâs where Iâm at right now.
I reached behind me, swiping off a big dollop of frosting and making sure not to get the cake as I turned back around and offered Damion my finger. His eyes widened with excitement as the fork now clattered to the floor.
He grabbed my hand and began sucking my finger. Oh goddess did that feel good. His tongue swirled against my skin as he tasted the frosting slowly and very sensually.
âIsnât it good?â I asked breathlessly, seeing him nod his head as my h**s began to rock on his lap rhythmically.
His hands wandered down to my waist, gripping my sides as he watched me rocking on top of him slowly.
âf**k you are beautiful.â He gasped, his fingers bunching my shirt as he began to lift it above my head, revealing my bare breasts.
My n*****s pebbled beneath his burning gaze as he dragged his eyes up and down my body hungrily.
âI have craved you, Eleanor.â The way he spoke my name caused a shudder to tremble through me.
âThen have me Damion, I am yours.â That was all the invitation he needed. Before I knew it, my back was pressed down onto the table, his fingers making quick work of his shirt and pants as I watched him with anticipation.
âSeeing you like this has got me so f*****g hard baby you have no idea.â He g*****d, showing me just how hard he was as his c**k sprang free. Did it get even bigger since the last time I saw it?!
Damion grabbed my legs, spreading them wide as he yanked my black cotton panties off quickly.
âFirst I need to taste you.â He growled, lowering to his knees as he got right between my legs.
My eyes were glued to him as I watched his mouth lower onto me. The feeling of his tongue sending a jolt of electricity through me as I m****d uncontrollably. My hands flung out above me, accidentally knocking the cake to the ground..which Damion didnât seem too concerned about. Well, that solved that! My mind was quickly pulled back to my current situation as Damion continued to feast on me, his tongue lapping at my slick folds as my head fell back. My release building with each swipe of his tongue as his eyes darted up to mine.
âSo delicious.â He growled deeply, pushing me over that edge as I came crashing down. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over me and before I could even recover Damion was lifting me up and wrapping my legs around his waist where he swiftly lined up his huge throbbing c**k to my center.
One deep thrust and he was buried inside of me. His mouth finding its way to the crook of my neck as he sucked and licked my mark desperately.
âI love you, Bunny.â He gasped, his c**k pulsing inside of me. Every movement growing more pure and raw than the last. That animalistic hunger taking control as our bodies joined and became one.
âDamion.â I cried his name out, feeling every pound deepen into my core as my legs began to shake uncontrollably. The pleasure building to blinding heights as Damionâs hands wandered my body greedily.
âc*m with me Darling..â Damion gasped, that pleasure so consuming as I spiraled down it aimlessly. My hands fisted Damionâs hair as our mouths fused together, absorbing every cry and mumble that left our now swollen lips.
âI love you beyond everything Damion.â I muttered, his legs giving out as we crashed back onto the couch. His warm seed dripping down my thighs as our breathing slowed and our hearts beat as one.
âMy Bunny, my precious, beautiful bunny..thank you..thank you for loving me.â He hugged me closer, his hands rubbing lazy circles on my back as I melted into his embrace..this was where I belonged..this was my home. Damion was my home and thank the Goddess I never have to eat that cake again.
