They had rejected each other ? When ? How ? Did Damon think I was rubbing it in when I talked to him
yesterday ? Fuck I wasn’t … I was late apologising … And although I won’t deny it gave me hope , it also
meant he had taken himself out of the running because of me .
At that moment , I knew that even if things became better between us , they would never return fully to
how they once used to be .
Once we parked outside a hotel , pulling the oversized hoodie over her , I helped her out of the car ,
holding two of the bags full of ice cube packs .
There was more in the car but I needed to get her some sort of relief from this pain quickly .
Pain that I had inflicted upon her , when the fuck will I ever stop causing her pain ? I could smell her
arousal , a thousand fucking times stronger than ever and I was hard .
The urge to mate with her was fucking strong but I refused to even think about that .
I lifted her onto my shoulder the moment I had our key card and entered the lift .
Once we were in the room , I dropped the bags and placed her on the bed , pulling her hoodie off .
My eyes trailed over her body , those perfect round breasts in that lace black bra .
With her narrow waist , curvy hips and sexy thighs , in only her heels and those net tights , it only added
to how fucking hot she looked .
” I’m going to run you a bath .
” I said , trying not to look at her pussy , licking my lips .
She looked up at me , her eyes full of desire , pain and something else .
She nodded , curling up .
I rushed to the bathroom , I had asked for a room with a large tub .
Relieved it was a decent size , I opened the cold tap .
She screamed and I froze , turning back to the bedroom and rushing over to her .
Fuck … ” Liam … it hurts .
” She whimpered , her legs parted and her back arched .
” Ok wait … ” I ran my fingers through my hair .
This was torture .
I deserved it though .
Opening the top ice bag , I grabbed a handful .
Walking to the bed , I climbed between her legs , dropping the ice onto the bed .
Keeping one in my hand , I ran it over her lips , watching the water melt and trickle down her neck .
She was burning hot … I leaned in , claiming her lips in a deep kiss .
Instantly , her hands grabbed the back of my neck , pulling me on top of her .
One of her legs wrapped around my waist before she yanked my jacket off , ripping my shirt down the
centre .
‘ I want you , Liam .
‘ She begged .
‘ No baby , but I’ll help , I promise .
I can’t take anything more from you .
‘ I whispered tenderly .
I felt awful .
I had ruined her marking ; I was not going to ruin her first time ..
I trailed the ice cube between her breasts , m y lips still devouring hers .
Fuck , she was delicious … She fought for dominance , kissing me hungrily , moaning in satisfaction
when I plunged m y tongue into her mouth .
Her moans alone were enough to make me come .
Goddess … this was so good … I broke away , grabbing another two cubes and trailing them down her
stomach before I reached her tights and tore them open from the middle .
She stretched her luscious thighs for me and I pushed her panties aside , rubbing the cube over her She
groaned in pleasure , her back relaxing as she whimpered in satisfaction .
” That feels good ….
” She whispered .
I smirked , pleased that this was working … I slowly pressed the cube to her entrance , making her gasp
in pleasure as I slowly pushed it further into her .
Oh fuck ! ” She whined hornily .
Once it was completely inside her hot core , I flicked her clit with my tongue , before flattening it to her
base and running it up along her dripping core slowly , growling in approval at how fucking good she
tasted .
She whimpered , her hand tangling in my hair painfully perfect .
I couldn’t stop the groan of pleasure as 1 flicked and sucked her clit faster , slipping another ice cube into
her molten hot core .
hard .
” Oh FUCK ! ” She cried out as she came I rubbed my nose against her clit , drinking up her scent before
I moved back , kissing her lips softly , ” Thanks … ” She whispered , clearly feeling calmer .
I gave her a small smile , caressing her .
hair .
” You look beautiful … You always do .
As much as I want to take this pain away , I know you’re not fully there and when … If , the time comes
and you want to give yourself to me , I’ll promise it will be perfect .
” I whispered , placing a single chaste kiss on her lips before moving away , hoping the tub was full .
I grabbed two ice bags and left the room .
Swearing when I saw the water was dangerously high .
Shit .
Quickly , I unplugged it , draining some out before dumping the ice into it and re plugging it .
There .
Perfect .
I returned to the bedroom , freezing in my tracks when I looked at her .
Her bra strap was off her shoulder , her sexy legs were parted and she was slipping another cube into
herself with one of her delicate fingers .
Fuck … She looked up at me with those eyes coated with lust and desire .
” Like what you see , baby ? ” She asked .
” You know I fucking do … ” I said , the hard -on in my pants was fucking painful .
She tilted her head , smiling slightly as I walked over to the bed .
As much as she was fucking tempting me , I would not take advantage of her .
Not again .
I lifted her bridal style and carried her to the bathroom .
Placing her on the floor I stripped off her net tights , about to place her in the bath when she reached
behind and unhooked her bra .
” Raven … Are you trying to torture me on purpose ? ” I asked , swallowing hard as I stared at her
breasts … This was the most naked I had seen her in one go … Fuck …..
In nothing but her panties , she looked ….
so fucking good … There was just something s o hot about her , from her size to her curves .
She giggled weakly , spinning around and hooking her fingers in her underwear .
” The fabric is chaffing my skin .
” She ..
whined , wriggling her ass .
I looked away as I saw her discard her panties from the corner of my eye .
Praying for fucking strength .
I felt the darkness trying to surface and pushed it away .
Not again .
I helped her into the bath without looking at her , satisfied when she let out a sigh of relief , sinking into
the tub until a I could see above the surface was her face and her hair splayed around her .
” I’m going to get more ice from the car , o k ? “
There was still some in the bedroom , but we needed more … ” Ok … Sorry for teasing you .
I’m just … ” ” In heat .
” I finished .
Leaning over the tub , I kissed her lips softly .
” I’ll take care o f you but I do need to tell someone .
What about Mom ? Because when night falls Dad will want to know where I am .
“
She frowned , and seemed to think , before whimpering and nodding .
” Only your parents then .
” She said .
I nodded , before leaving the room and linked Mom .
Hoping we were still in range ‘
Mom , can you hear me ? ‘ ‘ Liam ? Of course , I can .
‘ ‘ I have an issue and I need you to relax , and maybe I need you here … ‘ ‘ Of course , what is it ? ‘ She
asked with worry clear in her voice .
‘ Raven went into heat .
We’re in town , at the Holden Hill Hotel .
I’m in control … I’m ok … but just in case … can you come here ?
I get Dad needs to stay in the pack , but you are strong enough to keep me in control if need be .
‘ I said quietly .
She would be strong enough without a doubt , because I was weaker and completely vulnerable to any
attack thanks to the seal Delsanra had put on me .
As for the darkness ,
I could feel it fighting her barriers , growing stronger .
I knew it would soon break free from her seal , but until then … I’ll do my best .
‘ Got it .
I’m assuming … You two are not going to – ¹ ‘ Obviously , Mom , or I wouldn’t have asked you to come ! ‘
I groaned .
Seriously so fucking cringy .
She laughed .
‘ I went through heat in the same way .
Don’t worry , I will explain stuff to your dad and I’ll be there .
‘ She cut the link and I sighed , this was going to be awkward … Having Mom around when Raven was
in heat and I was fucking turned on … But I couldn’t risk Raven’s safety .
Not again .
Three days .
Raven had been in heat for three days and I was a wreck , Resisting her was draining me , I could only
imagine how exhausting it was for her .
She begged me to take her several times , saying she loved me , but it was the pain and need for a
release that was making her mind a haze .
Mom stayed in the hotel bedroom , bringing food and ice .
She left during certain periods to spend time with Azura but at night she was around , and for most parts
of the day .
To my relief , and I am sure to Dad and Mom’s , I didn’t lose control , something I knew Dad was worried
about .
I had a feeling Mom had to fight for him to allow me near Raven .
He had mind linked once .
His words were still clear in my mind .
‘ You are my son , and I know you got this … be the man she deserves .
‘ @ I will be .
I will try .
Having Mom around wasn’t as bad as I thought , she didn’t say anything or make anything fucking weird
thank fuck : I made Raven come countless times but I refused to take her completely .
My fingers or tongue doing the job , but with each passing day it wasn’t enough .
She needed more .
Despite how weak and exhausted she was , she couldn’t sleep , not with the pain she was in .
Sometimes she’d drift off for a few minutes until the heat forced her awake .
I stayed by her side , staying awake myself , easing her pain as best I could .
” How is she ? ” Mom asked as I walked out of the bathroom , buttoning up my white shirt to hide the
scratches made from Raven earlier still covering my torso since I wasn’t healing anymore .
” I think it’s at its worst … ” I said , running a hand through my messy locks .
Momn nodded sympathetically .
” It’s the final day , it’s going to be the hardest today , and the bath won’t help .
A n Alpha’s mark can make the heat a lot more worse , you’ve done well Liam and I trust you will handle
it from here on out .
I will be downstairs in my car … if you need me to come up .
If you feel you are losing control , just mind link .
I nodded , feeling embarrassed , knowing exactly why she was leaving … giving us some privacy .
But I get it , I Raven’s whimper made me look back at the open door .
” I’ll be leaving , link ok ? ” Mom said .
I nodded before she walked out the door and I rushed back into the bathroom .
Raven was standing in the tub , about to get out of the ice – filled bath .
” Babe , you got to- ” ” No Liam , please … just … It hurts .
” She said , my stomach twisting when I realised she was crying .
” I know , love , but it’s almost over now .
” I whispered , gripping her hips as she broke into sobs , breaking my heart in the process .
” It hurts .
” She whispered , wrapping her arms around my neck .
She was shaking , her arms weak as she hugged me , sobbing weakly into my shoulder .
The stronger the Alpha … The worse the heat … Guilt consumed me and I held her tightly , stroking her
back .
” You said you wanted me … ” She sobbed .
” I do , I want you , every part of you ; to kiss you , make love to you and cherish you .
But I can’t take advantage of you bitesize , you are worth so much more than that .
” I said pleadingly , kissing her shoulder .
” I love you , Liam .
So , so much .
” She whispered .
I cupped her face kissing her tear – stained cheeks before planting a soft one on her lips .
” I love you too , Raven .
Before I even knew what a crush was … you were the little doll I fell in love with .
” I whispered , our eyes meeting .
She smiled weakly before I gently moved back , stripping my top and pants off .
” I’ll sit in the bath with you .
Skin contact will help .
” I said , getting into the ice – cold water that made me hiss .
How the hell was she surviving in this ?
How the hell was she surviving in this ? She nodded and I pulled her into my lap .
She straddled me , wrapping her arms around my neck as she kissed me hungrily .
I kissed her back , but no matter how much I wanted to take her , I wouldn’t .
We were going to get through this the right way .
