591 Liked It Rough And Wild
Erebus kissed her roughly. It was urgent, frantic even, using his teeth in a manner that hurt her delicate lips, as if he was trying to savour her as quickly as he could. Though it wasn’t the kind of kiss she was used to, Seren didn’t mind this rough intimacy with Erebus.
In fact, she rather liked it. A different kiss from the same man she married, and she liked that wildness, the sense of unfamiliar familiarity from him. She let her body be pressed against his completely as she tiptoed and her arms circled around his neck so she could kiss him with more comfort.
Though he was not Drayce, he was still her husband; he didn’t feel like a stranger to her but someone who belonged to her and to her alone.
In response to her, his hand around her waist held her firmly to support her weight, while his other hand roughly clutched the hair at the back of her head, angling her face the way he wished.
‘Mine! My mate! Only mine!’
His unruly lips and tongue were leaving her breathless as if the beast inside him wished to devour her entirely. The moment his warm, moist and coarse tongue claimed her mouth, muffled moans left her throat, the sounds buried by the passionate way he kissed her.
Seren did her best to keep up with him as she found his influence on her growing. She ached to go as rough and wild as he was being to her.
Rough and wild–now, this was a preference she would have never thought she’d enjoy.
After their long kiss filled with passion, Erebus let her lips go. His lips left a trail of seductive kisses on her flushed face, across her jawline and down the smooth curve of her neck. Her moans were like music to his ears, as if she was encouraging him. His mate was responding to him the way he wanted.
But it wasn’t enough. It was just the beginning. He wanted more, wanting to claim her even before Drayce could.
“Aahh…”
Erebus moved to the sweet spot between her neck and collarbones, sucking onto the delicate skin, his teeth grazing it lightly, leaving marks as they moved up towards the sensitive spot just below her ear.
Seren opened her eyes as she let out another soft cry. How desperately she wanted to call his name. She wished to let him know that she had recognized his presence and that she had already accepted him, but she didn’t wish to disturb this moment with him.
A part of her was afraid. Afraid that he would flee. Afraid that he would hide once more, just as he did before. That was why she didn’t want to gamble. She wanted him to continue and she got what she had asked for.
“Ahh…”
As his lips left another trail of kisses on her sensitive neck, her hands clutched onto his hair at the back of his head, pulling him closer. She wanted it rough, and she knew Erebus would be rough on her. What had happened to her she didn’t know, but she didn’t care what would happen next. She just wished to give herself to him.
Understanding her intention based on her reaction, an evil smirk painted on his lips as his dark gaze fixed at the right side of her neck where he wished to mark her. Without hesitation, his teeth settled on her skin. A pair of sharp canines were ready to pierce through that delicate spot.
Just as his sharp teeth grazed her neck, it shocked Seren to feel that slight stinging pain–
“Erebus!” she called out his name in fright, which made him freeze.
He understood he was caught. Though she might have not known what he was about to do, she recognized him and he panicked. He retracted his teeth from her skin the next moment. Her body had stiffened as well, and neither of them moved, standing together like a pair of beautiful stone sculptures.
Seren belatedly realized she had called his name out loud, and now, she felt regret at the thought of him leaving like the previous time.
“Erebus?” she called him again, this time with a hint of hesitation, and she waited for him to reply.
The man holding onto her didn’t move for a while, and Seren wondered whether there was a chance Erebus stayed despite her recognizing him.
After a short silence, her husband finally moved. With his eyes kept closed, he put her veil back on her face, the enchantment on the fabric causing itself to be tied on its own.
Seren did not move the entire time, simply staring up at his face, waiting for him to respond. The moment he opened his eyes, she was greeted by the sight of the most familiar pair of eyes to her, a pair of bright red eyes.
She recognized that Drayce was back. As expected, Erebus had once again hidden himself without replying to her.
‘Was it because he found out that I caught him? Is he feeling shy…?’
Drayce’s red eyes stared at her veiled face; however, because the lower part of her face was covered, he could not see how swollen her lips were. Her lower lip was even hurt, showing a tinge of bleeding.
Seeing how he was looking at her, a sudden feeling of guilt enveloped her and she could not understand why but her conscience was making her feel as if she betrayed her husband.
‘Is Dray angry at me?’
Drayce moved his hand and tenderly caressed her cheek without saying a word to her. He seemed unaffected at the surface, but deep inside, he was enraged though he knew there was no need for him to be enraged. Erebus was him, a part of him, and he had a right over their wife as well… but for him, Erebus was another being, another man for him to share his wife with.
Till now, Erebus would only appear whenever Drayce was in need of any help. On normal days, he would quietly keep himself buried akin to slumber, but now, he was bold enough to show himself and take over their body. He even had the audacity to disturb Drayce’s moments with their wife.
Erebus had started to grow greedy, greedy for his mate, and nothing else mattered to him.
Drayce’s gaze moved to the two faint dots on Seren’s neck which was proof that Erebus had attempted to initiate a mate’s marking on her.
‘That Devil!’ Drayce clenched his fists.
“Dray…?” Seren called him in a low manner, her eyes looking up at him as if she was the one who did something wrong.
He moved his gaze from her neck to her guilt-ridden eyes as he offered her a calm and gentle smile. “Are you alright?”
Seren nodded and didn’t know what to say. She was aware that the man she kissed was not Drayce but she still went ahead with it.
Drayce chose to keep his anger in check as he didn’t wish to scare Seren. It was not her fault. In fact, it was not anyone’s fault as Drayce was aware what happened was bound to happen, but it would take him time to accept it. He had been patient and careful towards Seren while Erebus kept being rough with her, and this was precisely what he disliked.
