Chapter 168: Stuck With Each Other

Leila’s POV:

His touch was everywhere, setting my skin aflame and leaving me trembling under his control. Every brush of his lips, every flick of his tongue—it was intoxicating, consuming. My hands instinctively gripped his shoulders, my nails biting into his flesh as waves of pleasure coursed through me. I felt completely exposed and vulnerable, yet utterly safe in his hands.

I could barely catch my breath, my body reacting to him with a fervor I’d never known. My hips moved against him of their own accord, seeking more, needing more. His name slipped from my lips, a desperate whisper, "Chase..." The sound of it was foreign to my ears—pleading, trembling, raw.

He looked up at me then, his eyes dark with hunger yet filled with something deeper. It was enough to make my chest tighten, to make me forget the world beyond this moment. But just as I felt myself teetering on the edge, he stopped. He lifted his head, his face glistening with evidence of my desire, and met my gaze.

"Why did you stop?" I asked, the words catching in my throat. My voice sounded fragile, desperate, as though I might break apart if he didn’t answer quickly.

He cupped my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek with a tenderness that both steadied and unmoored me. "Because, Leila," he began, his voice rough yet steady, "I want you to know this isn’t just hunger. It’s more than that. You’re more than that to me."

His words unraveled something inside me. I couldn’t speak, so I smiled, a soft, genuine smile that I hoped conveyed everything I felt in that moment. "I know, Chase. And I trust you."

The shift between us was palpable. His expression softened, his restraint unraveling as my words gave him permission to take us further. My hands trembled as I reached for the buttons of his shirt, undoing them one by one with deliberate care. His skin, warm and inviting, seemed to call to me as I pushed the fabric from his shoulders.

I traced the contours of his chest with my fingers, marveling at the strength beneath my touch. His breath hitched, and the sound sent a thrill through me. My hands moved lower, finding the waistband of his pants. He tensed, his voice a mixture of warning and need as he murmured, "Leila..."

But I didn’t falter. I wanted him—all of him. As I reached for his zipper, he let out a sharp breath, his restraint slipping. Together, we pushed his pants down, freeing him. My breath caught as I took him in, my cheeks heating at the sight of him. He smirked, a knowing, cocky grin that only made my heart race faster.

"Don’t worry," he said, his voice teasing yet laced with desire. "It’ll fit."

I rolled my eyes, the heat in my cheeks intensifying. "Confident, are we?" I muttered, but the playful edge in my voice couldn’t hide the anticipation building inside me.

Tentatively, I reached out, my fingers wrapping around him. He groaned, the sound reverberating through me and making my knees weak. Encouraged by his reaction, I began to explore, my touch growing bolder with each passing moment. His name escaped my lips again, softer this time, almost a reverent whisper. "Chase..."

He groaned again, his head tipping back, and I felt a surge of confidence. The way he responded to me, the way his body trembled under my touch—it was exhilarating. I shifted, climbing onto his lap, and settled above him. The heat of his skin against mine sent a shiver through me.

Our eyes locked, and I felt something primal awaken within me. My wolf stirred, her presence a comforting weight as she lent me her strength. I could feel the faint hum of her possessiveness, the claim she wanted to stake as much as I did. "Mine," I murmured, the word slipping from my lips with a low growl that startled even me.

He stilled, his eyes darkening as he recognized the shift in me. "Yours," he replied, his voice steady and sure.

The connection between us deepened as I leaned down to kiss him, my lips moving against his with a desperation I couldn’t contain. His hands gripped my hips, grounding me as I rolled them against him. Each movement sent shockwaves of pleasure through me, building higher and higher until it felt like I might burst.

I couldn’t hold back. My lips found the sensitive spot where his neck met his shoulder, and I nibbled gently before letting my fangs graze his skin. His breath hitched, his body tensing beneath me.

"Leila," he rasped, his voice trembling with anticipation.

I hesitated for only a moment before sinking my fangs into him. The taste of him was electric, a heady mix of desire and something uniquely Chase. He gasped, his hands gripping me tighter as I marked him, my wolf’s satisfaction thrumming through me. "Mine," I growled again, the word a declaration, a promise.

And then I took him, sinking down onto him and feeling him fill me completely. The sensation was overwhelming, a perfect blend of pleasure and pain that left me trembling. His hands guided me, holding me steady as I began to move.

"Fuck!" he shouted, his voice raw and guttural. The sound spurred me on, my movements growing bolder as I chased the fire building between us.

I lost myself in the rhythm, the give and take of our bodies as we moved together. Every thrust, every gasp, every whispered word drove us closer to the edge. I could feel his gaze on me, filled with awe and adoration, and it made my heart swell.

"You’re mine, Chase," I murmured, my voice steady and sure.

"Yours," he replied, his hands tightening on my waist as he met my movements with equal fervor. "Always."

The intensity between us was overwhelming, a storm of sensations that left me breathless. I felt the pressure building, a tidal wave of pleasure that threatened to consume me. My hands clung to him, my nails digging into his skin as I neared the brink.

And then he rolled us over, pinning me beneath him. His eyes burned with an unrestrained passion that sent a thrill through me. He didn’t hesitate, driving into me with a force that left me gasping. The rhythm he set was relentless, each thrust pushing me closer to the edge.

"Let go," he urged, his voice a growl as he leaned down to kiss me. "I’ve got you."

His words were my undoing. The wave of pleasure crashed over me, leaving me trembling and crying out his name as my body convulsed around him. The sight of him losing himself in me, his release following closely after mine, was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

We lay tangled together, our breaths mingling as we came down from the high. His hands moved lazily over my skin, tracing patterns that sent aftershocks of pleasure through me.

"You’re incredible," he murmured, his voice filled with awe.

I smiled up at him, my heart full and my body utterly spent. Whatever this was between us, it was more than just physical. It was everything.

Looking at him, my gaze landed on the mark I had left on his neck. It wasn’t just any mark—it had formed into a beautiful wolf, its intricate lines almost glowing against his skin. A pang of embarrassment surged through me as the realization of what I’d done fully sank in. Oh, my goddess, I had gone full alpha mode on him. I marked him as mine. Mine. The word reverberated in my head, and a mixture of pride and mortification battled for dominance.

What was I thinking? No, scratch that—I wasn’t thinking. Heck, I never planned this. Not marking him, not making love to him, not any of it. I blame my wolf. She had gotten way too close to the surface, her possessiveness bleeding into my actions. All I had intended was a playful little nip, something to stake a subtle claim. But no, my wolf had other ideas. She had practically purred, Make him yours, and I had listened like the horny fool I was.

My cheeks flamed as I thought about how it all escalated. I hadn’t just bitten him. Oh no. I had thrown restraint out the window and practically devoured him. His body had been too tempting, his presence too overwhelming, and my control had been obliterated by a single smirk and the way he said my name.

And yet... I didn’t regret it. Not one damn bit.

I couldn’t regret the way his hands had felt on my skin, grounding me and igniting a fire I didn’t know I could feel. I couldn’t regret the way his name had tumbled from my lips like a prayer, the way he had looked at me like I was the only thing that mattered in the world. No, there was no room for regret. Embarrassment? Yes. But regret? Never.

Still, I couldn’t shake the sheepishness bubbling inside me. Chase stirred beside me, his breaths slow and even as he slept. The mark on his neck was a stark reminder of how I had let my instincts take over, how I had let myself get swept away in the heat of the moment.

And yet, as I traced the lines of the wolf with my eyes, I felt an odd sense of satisfaction. He was mine now—not just in the primal, wolfish way, but in a deeper, more profound sense. That mark wasn’t just a claim; it was a bond, a promise, and a declaration all in one.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I settled back against the pillow. My wolf purred contentedly in the back of my mind, utterly pleased with herself. Of course, she was. She had gotten what she wanted—what we wanted—even if it hadn’t been part of my plan.

I glanced at Chase again, his face peaceful in sleep, and a small smile tugged at my lips. Despite the whirlwind of emotions and the suddenness of it all, I felt... right. Whole. Like everything had fallen into place in a way I hadn’t even realized I needed.

"Guess we’re stuck with each other now," I murmured softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

His lips twitched, and for a moment, I thought he was still asleep. But then his eyes fluttered open, and his gaze locked onto mine. A slow, lazy grin spread across his face, and my heart did a little flip.

"Damn right we are," he said, his voice husky with sleep, and I knew he had caught every word.

I groaned, burying my face in the pillow as he chuckled, the sound warm and rich, like a melody I wanted to hear forever.
