Strenghtened bond

AYSU

The moment Ximun gently detached his veiny shaft from her heated walls, Aysu's hand briefly got in contact with his tempting tip and the warmth she got from the contact made her wonder why she didn’t play with him some more.

Ximun then lifted her and slowly, he found his place inside her pussy, his hardness gradually filling her up in a way that made her gasp with amazement.

But within that feel-good moment, the thought of her lost child rushed into her mind and she felt so much guilt for having that much fun while that poor soul was already gone.

Ximun stopped what he was doing and gently directed her to look into his eyes.

“Hey, are you fine?” Aysu nodded. Then she shook her head. “Should I stop? If the thoughts about the baby-”

“How do you know that?” Aysu queried, her forehead creased.

“What?”

“How did you know that’s what I was thinking about?”

“I heard you.”

“I didn’t speak out.”

One of his brows arched. “I know. I was listening to your thoughts, it’s kind of hard not to hear.”

“What?” Aysu adjusted and soon, she was filled up with more than half of him. That was so unexpected for her, her eyes bulged for some seconds. Then she asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Do you not hear my thoughts?”

“Why should I?”

“Because of the mate bond.”

“Then how come I don’t hear anything right now?” Aysu retorted. “Is there something you are hiding from me, Alpha Ximun?”

“No.” He shook his head. “I truly started hearing your thoughts shortly after we initially mated.”

“So, how come I can’t hear a thing?” Aysu asked and at the same time, she decided that there had been too much idleness between their groin. So, slowly, she began to move.

And as she gripped his still unbelievable largeness on the inner level, Ximun groaned before he replied to her. “I don’t know. Maybe because you tried blocking out the mate bond.”

“I used to hate you.”

“That was my fault.” His hands found her back and he allowed her to lean into that hold while she moved with precision. “I am sorry.”

“I also want to hear your thoughts. I never had a mind-link with my past mates and I-” Ximun started moving too and the impact was so much that her legs shivered and she had to bury her head into his shoulder to deal with the way she felt.

“Damn,” she breathed hard.

“Should we pause our conversation?” he asked. “I feel we are distracting ourselves.”

“Yes, please,” Aysu responded while her lower body resumed trying to steer that moment.

But Ximun’s motion overpowered hers and she gave up so that she could feel the full effect of his manhood. And, without facing disappointment, that moment became something that ignited the most intense feeling within her soul. And she continued experiencing that feeling till it blossomed in a way that made her rabid for more.

So, she pulled at Ximun’s hair and urged him to move faster and faster. And as the grunting man who was trying hard not to lean towards her neck did as she silently asked, Aysu became a bigger mess who was sure to have very weakened legs.

But that was of no concern to Aysu who felt a lovely release that prompted her to plant a very lengthy kiss on Ximun’s lips while she jerked and slowly recovered from the eruption within her.

Soon, Ximun joined her at that peak and she felt him fill her in a way that was more satisfactory than it was on the humiliating day he first mated with her.

At the same time, in the unseeable realm that was meant to connect their wolves, the mate bond strengthened and became a little more cemented.

Ω

Almost an hour later, Aysu and Ximun were lying side by side and all they did was stare at the ceiling in silence.

Until Ximun broke the silence. “Do you remember the banter we had shortly after we got married?”

“It’s imprinted in my mind,” replied Aysu who was still a little dazed.

“I said something back then that I didn’t mean.” The bed creaked a little as he turned to face her. Aysu met his eyes while she wondered what would have happened if they had broken the bed. “I said I would never want to wake up next to you.”

“You said a lot more than that,” Aysu subtly added, her mind digging up the memory of that day.

“I know. I didn’t mean them.” He placed his hand on her belly. “I always want to wake up next to you because you are the woman that will always be in my heart.”

“I don’t believe that.”

“Wha?” He frowned. “Why?”

“Your mother is also meant to be a woman that’s in your heart.”

“But I never met her. I never met any of my parents.”

“Oh.” Aysu felt as though she had mentioned a very intense topic.

“No, you haven’t,” he replied to her thought.

“Damn, Ximun.” She smacked his arm. “That is very creepy.”

He chuckled. “I love it.”

Aysu sneered at him for a split second. “Anyway, I am sorry I mentioned your mother.”

“Eh.” He shrugged. “But now you believe me when I say you are the only one in my heart.”

Aysu saw that truth in his eyes. So, she smiled and reached to pat his head. “I know it is true.” Ximun moved closer, planted a kiss on her shoulder then leaned towards her body. “How is Gideon and Magnetino?” she asked after a few seconds.

“They are doing fine and eating well. But, I will be honest. I intended to greatly punish them and I am talking insane punishment.”

“Why did you change your mind?”

“I thought about you.” He looked down. “I might not understand why, but I know those men mean something to you. And of course, I also don’t think they poisoned you.”

“So, right now, there’s no other suspect?”

“Well,” he started to gently pat her stomach, “there is that half-naked woman who met you before.”

“She is a suspect? Have they questioned her yet? Did she say why she walks about half-naked?”

“I don’t know,” Ximun replied, his amusement not hidden. “But I will try to get a response to that question.”

Aysu relaxed more. “Do you think The Tarmish Pack will be very adamant about dragging me back to that place?”

“I think they would. But that doesn’t mean that we will allow them. At this rate, if they keep coming, I will have to employ devious means to get rid of them.”

“So, some blood will be shed?”

“Does that bother you?”

“Nah. Unless it’s my father, Gideon, my nanny and my previous mates, I don’t care. Others can vomit to death for all I care.”

“That’s all the response I need.” A knock from outside interrupted their conversation. And Ximun looked up at her and said, “I have to get back to my duties. Will you be fine alone? Should I get someone to stay with you?”

Aysu shook her head and watched as he got off the bed and reached for his earlier disposed nightwear. She then replied, “No, I will be fine. And I will be waiting.”

Their gazes met and they both smiled knowingly. Now that the tension between them had been resolved with the heat they shared, it was undoubtful that from that day on, they would be spending a lot of time together, exploring the beauty of their union.

“ I won’t waste any time because there is so much I wish to share with you.”

“Hmm.” Aysu was smiling wide and that expression widened when the fully clothed man walked up to her and placed a lingering kiss on her forehead.

“See you,” he said once he began to take steps backwards.

“See you. And yeah, next time, don’t hold back on marking me.”

He smiled in response and after a couple seconds of hesitation, Ximun finally stepped out and that left Aysu to gush expressively about how amazing it all was.

As her feet stomped the end of her bed, her lying body wiggled around the sheets that covered her and her mind began to replay everything she felt.

And recalling that memory was enough to cause a tingle in her soul.

She was enjoying that feeling when a knock was planted on the door.

Aysu paused her drama. She wondered if it was Ximun, but he normally wouldn’t knock, so she sat up and said, “Come in.”

Seconds later, a strange woman walked in, her gait rather unsettling. Aysu lifted a brow in question. “Who are you?”

“I am surprised you don’t know,” replied the woman.

“Well,” Aysu deepened the frown on her forehead, “I am surprised I am unable to determine your name right away, Miss Stranger.”

“Oh well.” Aysu’s slight snarkiness seemed to destabilise the woman. But after a shake of her shoulders, the lady stood firm and said, “I will introduce myself then. My name is Mayana and I am Ximun’s forever love.”
