The Lycan’s Human Mate

I was awakened by the gleam of the sun as it peaked through the window. I blinked in an effort to clear my sight. My head hurts so much; it seemed like someone was bashing it.

The hangover sucks so badly.

I didn’t move, but I could feel a strong arm around my midsection that seemed like it was made of steel. I grimaced, my senses were on high alert. I glanced to my left and my eyes widened at the sight of a sleeping man-of Traian. Then, as if by enchantment, every interaction I had with this man last night flooded back into my memory.

The anxiety faded, but a different emotion emerged. I stared at Traian for a while more. I dragged my gaze on his face from the sharp features of his jaw, nose, flawless skin, and long, thick eyelashes. Until my eyes landed on his soft lips that worked wonders on me last night. My heart fluttered, and the impulse to touch him raced through my body and thoughts. I felt a surge of contentment like this was so right, which only made me feel anxious. I was more driven to reach out and touch him than ever before.

This should stop….

I struggled to sit up while trying to grasp his arm and cover my breast with the blanket. I held his arm and was just about to untangle it from my body when his arms abruptly tightened. He is awake. I swallowed and gathered my courage as I tightened my grip on the covers.

I sternly said, “Let go.”

His intense, hypnotic blue eyes held mine as he opened them. In his sleepy, husky voice, he smirked while saying, “Morning”

My waist is being stroked by his hands. Despite the soft material of the cover covering my skin, I could feel the warmth and sensation of his big hand sending tingling sensations and the surge of desire and arousal hit me once more with that simple touch from him. He gasped and closed his eyes as though sensing my need before standing up and continuing to stroke my waist. The blankets slid down from his body down to his waist, exposing his hard muscles and chest. He leaned over to me with a mesmerizing smile on his lips, but I turned away.

I yanked his arms off my waist, keeping the blanket over my nudity, and scurried out of bed.

He also got out of bed and said, his voice filled with alarm, “Jaidyn, where are you going?”

I turned to face him, doing everything in my power to keep from going any deeper when his erection was still obvious. If my memory is correct, we did the deed for another two rounds last night. I stared at his face and met his blue eyes.

” At my home”, I took a deep breath and scanned the room to find my dress. “Where I ought to be at this moment”

I prodded across the room upon seeing it on the floor, picked it up along with my purse and heels, and walked to the other door in the room I desperately hoped to be the bathroom. But just as I was about to hold the doorknob, a hand grabbed my other wrist, turning me around. I sucked in a breath at his proximity, which was only an inch away from me. I can feel his heat radiating from me. My hand, which was tightly holding the blanket as if it were my only means of covering my body, was crushed against his chest.

“Why don’t you stay a while?” he said, keeping his tone light, but I can almost hear the want and desperation in it.

I licked my lips in an effort to resist the temptation this man held, which caused my body to bend to satisfy his want and need.

“There’s no reason for me to,” I said and yanked my hand away from his hold, stepping inside at once and slamming the door, cutting him off as he called me.

“Jaidyn-”

As I dropped the cover, I faced the mirror, gazing at my reflection. My neck bore red marks and hickeys from where he’d nipped me, and my lips were swollen and red. I can still feel his lips and kisses on my skin, as well as the sensation of his crotch on my core, which I believe he made sure to do.

I shook my head, pushing back those thoughts in the back of my mind, and hurriedly put on the dress, skipping any undergarments because I didn’t have any clean ones at the time. Instead of putting on my heels or washing my face, I brushed my knotted and unruly red locks with my fingers a few times before opening the door. Now, all I wanted was to leave, far away from Traian. Yesterday, I had already done something which was caving into my body and to him. And that was all. That ought to be the end of it.

He was already dressed in shorts when I discovered him at the foot of the bed. When he turned to face me, his face was etched with worry and fear. Fear of what? I thought.

I immediately headed to the door, but he once again stopped me.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“Why don’t you stay a little longer and join me for breakfast?”

Shaking my head, I removed his grip on my arm. “No thanks, but I have to go.”

He added with a deadpan expression, “Never mention you’re into one-night stands.”

I sneered, “No… but I don’t want anything serious either.”

He attempted to speak but then shut his mouth. I took the opportunity to go, leaving him standing at the door. Soon after, I felt him behind me, but I didn’t turn around once to look at him, which took a lot more effort than I had thought.

I pushed the double oak door open and marched out of the castle, stopping myself from pausing to take in the castle. It’s like I will have the chance to see another again. And seeing one actually live my dream of a princess back in my childhood. But staying here just to admire the structure seems inappropriate in my circumstances when I am about to leave the man I had a one-night stand with and apparently the owner of the castle.

My feet touched the damp ground as I continued to walk but my hand was grabbed before I had gone ten steps from the building. Again. When I spun around, I saw Traian barely clad. His ripped chest and abdomen were exposed, and I had to curl my fists to keep my gaze from straying into his bare chest.

My jaw clenched as I met his gaze. “What?” I spat and was harsher than I intended to be.

I know my behavior was not acceptable at all because I enjoyed every time I spent with him last night, but now I am in a rational state of mind, I cannot help but feel confused and silently freaking out. I need to get away, take a bath and clear my mind in the comfort of the cabin I am staying in.

He slowly let go of my hand and ran his hands through his gorgeous hair. “Nothing, I just….. are you angry with me?”

That’s something I didn’t expect. I scoffed, “Why would I be angry at you? And why does it matter to you? We are strangers and it was only a one-night fling. I think we got what we wanted last night so we can go back to being strangers.”

The words were piercing to my heart, yet they had to be uttered. I need to move on from this man as soon as possible, and this should just be a one-night stand. I can’t trust my body or my mind around him.

His brows furrowed. He spoke, a hint of frustration in his voice.” We fucked and cuddled last night. We spoke while strolling in this woodland. That’s no stranger, Jaidyn. I know your name and essentially your situation with your ex-fiance.”

“Then tell me what we are? Because I, sure as hell we are not friends”

When he remained silent, I continued. “See? It’s much better to describe us as strangers”

I turned around to walk away.

“Why are you angry so suddenly, Jaidyn? Explain to me why you are acting like this so suddenly?”

My grip on my heels tightened as I faced him. “Because I followed my subconscious thoughts last night when I should not.” I stared at his intense blue eyes and a glint of hurt passed through those orbs. “Goodbye, Traian”
