The Lycan King (Book 1) novel Chapter 73

Avalyn

The slamming of the bedroom door broke me out of my sleep. And then a set of lips were on me.?

I relaxed and kissed him back eagerly when I realised it was just Nikolai. His hands were frantic as he touched, grabbed and squeezed my entire body. As if he was making sure that I was actually here.

He ripped my nighty apart and trailed open mouthed kisses down my neck. A loud moan left my mouth when he kissed my mark.

He left kisses between the valley of my breasts, squeezing them and then came back up.

My entire back arched off the bed when he suddenly slammed inside me. "Nikolai." I cried out.

His intensity was maddening. My entire body was in fire as he pumped into me with wild abandonment. Almost like he needed to bask in my warmth or he would loose himself. No scratch that, he?wanted?to loose himself. In me.

"Ya lyublyu tebya. Borginya, ya lyublyu tebya."?He kept chanting as he made mad, intense love to me.?I love you. Goddess, I love you.

That's when I realised that something is wrong.

I met his thrust for thrust until we were both sweaty and spent. Which was about ten times after. We were both panting and I couldn't get over what just happened. We had never done it these many times a row. I usually got tired after seven times. He had the stamina to go on all night long if he wanted to, but it got a little too much for me. I was slowly getting to his level but it was a time consuming process. This was normal for werewolves but I for some reason, my wolf got tired quickly now a days.

Nik started kissing me all over again and slowly started moving down my neck. I held his head and brought him up again so he was looking at me in the eye. "Sorry, are you sore? Did I hurt you?"

"No. But you look hurt. What happened, Nik?"

He sighed and rolled off me. And I rolled right on top of him. "What happened, Love? How did it go?"

"Nothing. It went just fine." He closed his eyes. I wrapped my arms around his large form and placed my head against his chest, over his heart. "Don't worry. Everything will work out. Just see."

His arms came around me. "There is only one thing we can do- wait."

"When will Max call?"

"Tomorrow." He replied.

"Sleep Nik." I murmured softly, my eyes already drooping. "Everything will be alright, I promise."?

~~~~~~

When I woke up, the bed was cold which meant Nik left a long time ago. I quickly threw clothes on and padded outside, that's when I realised it was already eleven am. I got deja vu when I realised that the entire house was empty.

Where is everyone?

I tried to mind-link Nik but it was shut. I went in search of Tessa. I was very sore and I figured I could use a warm bath. I hardly had any because I was always in a rush because I needed to prepare for breakfast.

I went to the kitchen and found April making food.

"Can you give me something to eat?" I'll have one after food. I'm famished.

"Sure, give me a couple of minutes, Luna." She said and quickly made me egg toast and a cup of cold coffee.

"Thanks." I said as I quickly scarfed down my brunch.

"Send Tessa to my bedroom." I told her and got off the barstool and made my way up stairs. I decided to do some stretching before bath so I would loosen my muscles.

I went to my bedroom and shed my clothes before I heard a knock.

"Who is it?" I asked, knowing it was most probably Tessa.

"It's Tessa, Mistress."

"Come in." I called in and started with my stretching. I always found clothes very restricting while stretching. But that was probably because I had big boobs and a butt. Most of my underwear gave me a wedgie once I start stretching and I can never find a sports bra that was comfortable enough.

Tessa's eyes lowered and a blush rose on her cheeks when she saw I was naked. She will get used to it soon. I realised that she had brought in an entire cart with her, filled with glass bottles what had different oils in them.

"What is all of this?" I asked her.

"Alpha's orders. I'm supposed to give you a massage and then bathe you." She replied.

Nik is too sweet.

"Do you even know what to do?" I asked.

"I worked in a salon & spa shop before I was... taken. A lot of these things are new but I promise you that I? started studying about it the moment Alpha told me what I had to do. I will not make any mistakes or cause you any pain." She said earnestly.

"Okay then, go ahead." I nodded.

She quickly placed a sheet on top of the bed and placed the cart next to the bed.

"Please lie on the bed, Mistress. On your front." I did as she said and in a couple of seconds, she started massaging my back, breaking the friction with the oils and massaging them in my skin.

I then told her the truth. "I asked not because I fear that you will hurt me," her human hands couldn't technically hurt me enough to harm me, "I asked because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

A moan left my mouth when she applied pressure on my lower back. She focused on that part more.

"I love to serve you, Mistress. I have been with you only for two days and you have been more kind to me than anyone I have ever met. I owe you my life. Before you... I had lost the will to live." Vulnerability shone through her words.

"But we reunited to your sister Jessica." I said gently.

Her hands didn't falter for a second as she thoroughly massaged my back and then my butt. Her hands worked wonders. "She has turned one of?them, Mistress."

"Vampires?" I asked for confirmation. Rhazien would obviously want his mate to live with him forever. It only made sense. But just not to Tessa.

"Yes, Mistress. Is your back better or do you need me to massage it more?" She asked.

"It's perfect, thank you." My muscles felt very light.

"Could you please turn over?" She asked again. I turned over and picked my hand and placed it on her shoulder so I had support and started massaging my arms with concentration.

I closed my eyes and she started massaging my face. A deep breath left me. I feel very relaxed.

"Feels good, Mistress?" She whispered.

Not having willpower to even open my mouth, I just nodded. After she was done, I opened my eyes. "Please stay here, Mistress", and then she rolled the cart in the bathroom. The sound of running water went off and after a couple of minutes, she stepped out with the cart.

"I have filled you a bath, Mistress. You said Alpha prefers your natural scent so I added salts that will help enhance that. After you are done, please call me. I need to help you clean too. Do you prefer for me to wait inside the bathroom or outside?" She asked.

"Outside." I replied and forced my muscles to cooperate and help me stand up.

"You gave me one hell of a massage, Tessa. Thank you. I hope you don't it if I make you do it often."

"You are welcome anytime, Mistress." She smiled and began packing her stuff. I closed the bathroom door and walked inside, already feeling like I'm walking in clouds. I saw that the large bathtub was willed with warm water and rose petals floating on it. I smelled salts I did not recognised. I stepped inside and lied down. I turned on the television in front of of and picked up the chocolate Tessa had most probably left for me.

"Tessa." I called as I got out after watching a couple of episodes of the series 'Friends' Sofiya had suggested me a while ago.

Tessa came in, "how do you feel, Mistress?"

"Wonderful." I smiled and stepped in the shower stall along with her. I turned on the shower heads. Tessa had removed her clothes and was wearing her bra and panties. She shampooed my hair and then she brought in a soft cloth. Then she squeezed some body-wash over it and rubbed it over my body before helping me rinse it off.

"Give me a minute please, Mistress." She said and stepped out. I stood under the shower and enjoyed the water. Tessa knocked on the glass and I shut the shower before stepping out. She patted my body dry with a towel before she helped me into a bath robe. She herself was already dried and dressed. She led me to my closest.

What she gave me to wear surprised me. I had expected an entire makeover and a beautiful dress because I thought Nik was taking me out on a date. But she had given me comfy, silk pyjama bottoms and a soft, fuzzy top. She blow dried my hair and didn't do anything with them. She didn't even ask me for makeup.

"Are you sure?" I asked as I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like was going to sleep rather than having a date. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely comfortable and these are the softest and the most comfortable things I own but I just did not expect it.

"Absolutely, Mistress. Alpha is waiting for you." She opened the closet door.

Thats when I saw Nik. He too, was wearing silk pyjamas I didn't know he owned and a comfy t-shirt. Smiling widely, I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"What is all of this?" I asked, excitement evident in my tone.

"I told you I will make up for Christmas. This is me making up. Giving you a work and stress-free relaxing day and a dinner date in our pyjamas in bed."

I grinned. How thoughtful of him! "I love it, thank you Nikolai. I didn't even know you owned a pair." I giggled, I know how much he loves sleeping naked. And how much he loves for me to sleep naked.

"I bought them for today. Come." He tugged me to bed and made me sit on his lap and placed a plate between us.

"What was the verdict of yesterday?" I asked. I really hope everything went well. Even though today was one of the most relaxing days of my life, the thought of the outcome put me on edge again.

"I don't know yet either. Max should call right about now." And true to Nik's word, his phone rang.

He set the phone on speaker. "How did it go?"

The stretched silence gnawed at my stomach and a pit grew in my belly. My eyes connected with Nik and now he looked worried too.

"Max? How did it go?" I asked, dread filled in my voice.
