Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 162

Lily's POV

It felt like it was a hundred degrees here. At least that was what it felt like to me. But it wasn't bad because I loved the warmth, especially while buck naked. The blanket felt heavy, like it was a fifty pound weight that was resting on my chest. I tried to move my body and that was when I felt my back against a hard chest and as I tried to open my eyes, I heard a familiar voice that seemed to relax my already relaxed muscles and made my toes curl.

"You should go back to sleep, sunflower." A deep groggy voice snickered against my ear, "It's not time to wake up yet." My body trembled with glee as I remembered how we had basically cuddled to sleep. My heart squeezed tight as I remembered how he had sobbed quietly in my embrace and for the first time I had actually seen the man I had once fallen in love with beneath his armour of humor, loyalty and seemingly having things under control.

'Once fallen in love with' sounded weird and I knew why. It was because I still loved him. I had never actually fallen out of love with him. It had given me so much peace to know that I could share this very vulnerable moment with him and it had cleared all the doubts that I might have had about how he felt about me.

The fifty pound blanket on my body was Cades arm around me, I realized with delight and I snuggled even further into him, relishing his warmth as I turned to look at his face. His hair was now shorn low and his eyes were bright and blue and devoid of the shadows that had plagued him the night before and even though I knew that he still had a long way to go with bearing his mother's death, and would still mourn for her everyday of his life just like I would for my father, this was a good start.

My smile was bright and I reached up to run my hand through his scalp, his short hair giving him a harsher and sharper look that fit him so well it didn't even feel like a loss that he had cut his hair.

"Good morning," I whispered and he nodded, his stare intense and sending a thrill through my body to be the recipient of his attention. "Hello sunshine."

"That's not me. You're the one with the hair that looks like the sun. I love your haircut by the way. It suits you." I answered and when his face turned thoughtful, I wondered if I had said anything that had triggered him or made him feel uncomfortable. The smile on my face fell off and I was just about to push myself up on my elbows, my thoughts filled with worry when he beamed and pulled me closer, his chuckle deep as he kissed my forehead before he gazed down at me, his eyes filled with an emotion that made my throat thick with feelings. Love.

Glogh. Glogh. Glogh... That was the sound of my poor heart running a mile a minute.

I swallowed and reached up to touch him with shaking hands. "Are you alright? Did you even sleep at all last night?" I asked, cupping his face, unable to stop myself from worrying even though he seemed to be doing just fine. It was perhaps because I had seen him act like he was okay only a few hours ago.

"I didn't sleep a wink" he replied and even though he was smiling, I found my worry skyrocketing as I began to wonder what he might have done awake and alone. Had he needed me while I was sleeping?

"You're so adorable with that little pout that tells me you are worrying even though you're going to deny that you aren't right now, Lily." He replied, kissing my nose and grinning wide at me. "The reason I didn't sleep a wink last

night was because of you. I spent the entire night staring at you, gorgeous. And, it's cute that you still talk in your sleep like you used to. I was wondering if you finally stopped.

My shoulders immediately relaxed and I pouted playfully at him, poking his chest with my hand.

"I do not." I'm sure one of the boys wouldn't have passed up an opportunity to tease me about it.

"But you do." He smirked and I turned around, giving him my back.

The atmosphere suddenly shifted as my a*s fitted against his front and I felt his hardness pressing against my back.

Glogh. Glogh. Glogh. Glogh... My heart beat faster and faster as we both froze, waiting for the other to make the first move.

I gasped when he grabbed my hip, his strong fingers felt like hot iron bands, branding my skin. He pulled me back so that I was flush against him and then he rolled his hips into my a*s, groaning softly.

My heart wouldn't stop trying to race out of my chest and I turned to look up at him.

He looked wild and ravenous. His eyes were dark and he was panting hard and desire, thick and molten, flared to life between my legs at the hunger in his gaze, my center already wet.

Keeping my eyes on him, I reached down beneath the blanket and gently grabbed his hard length, watching as he sucked in a tight breath when I started to stroke him gently.

"F**k, please, Lily" he groaned, taking my lips in a deep kiss that made my body tingle in all the right places and I pulled back, needing to watch him try and fail to hide his moans of pleasure, happy to know that I did that to him, that I drove him crazy. The tortured look on his face as he grabbed on to the back of my neck and placed his head against mine.

There was nothing but the sheets between us and the sound of our heavy breathing as he moved in and out of my hand, the sight so erotic I had to squeeze my thighs to seek relief.

"I've missed you so much you have no idea, Lily. Absolutely no idea," Cade whispered reverently and rolled on to his back, pulling me down to straddle him.

We both gasped as his erection grazed my clit and I watched as he took me in, hands running up and down my thighs, his gaze filled with admiration.

Tfelt Dahlia purr to life in my chest and I was filled with the overwhelming need to make him mine, to claim him like I had the rest of my mates. He was mine, had always been mine and no one elses. His powers, his body, his wolf. Him.

As if he could see the possessiveness in my glowing eyes, he smiled lazily and squeezed my thighs, thrusting his hips into mine.

Feeling the last shred of shyness leave nobody, I started to grind against him, enjoying the tortured sound that escaped his throat at our contact and even though I wanted nothing more than to feel his thick hard length sink into me, I wanted to toy with him a little, make him beg for it. That had to be Dahlia speaking through me and I had no problem with her demand this time.

"Stop teasing," He bit out and I grinned as I hovered over him, attempting to push his length into me and just when I saw him prepare, his body stiffening in anticipation, I grinned and moved back, and before he could even get out a word, I covered the tip of his length with my mouth and his responding roar shook the entire room. One second, I was going up and down on his c**k and the next, I was on my back, staring into glowing eyes that were filled with l**t.

I gasped at the force of his desire and prepared myself for the impact of him inside me. To my surprise, he only leaned close to me, his touch gentle and reverent as he kissed me gently.

"Lily... I know that I probably don't deserve to ask you of this or even have you beneath me but I am going to count it as one of the many blessings that the goddess has bestowed on me. I didn't ever dream of being an Alpha even though I knew that it was something that would happen, but now that I am, I am certain of one thing. I cannot live without you. Lily... I want you to rule by my side as my Luna. My equal in all things."

My heart skipped six beats as once, the enormity of his proposal knocking me off for a moment.

"Cade..." I whispered, but he hushed me with another kiss, deep and strong and gentle and sweet.

He panted against my lips. "You don't have to give me an answer now. I just wanted to let you know that this is how I feel about you. If this is about your mates, I don't mind sharing you with them. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that things work between us. As long as you can make room for me in your heart, even if it's only a little,

"I accept, Cade. With all my heart, I accept your proposal.

I've accepted since you told me the truth about what really happened." I replied tearfully, my heart soaring with joy as I pulled him down for a kiss.

He groaned into the kiss, his hands diving into my hair, squeezing my breasts, my hip, my thighs, like he wants to feel every inch of me and hasn't decided what part to start from and he didn't have enough time in the world.

He was making these ravenous sounds, these hungry, wild noises as he kissed down my body until there was not an inch of skin that hadn't been kissed by him.

I pulled his face back to me and found his lips again, pulling him closer and closer to me as he pushed me off the surface of sanity. My body was thrumming with ecstasy and desire. His fingers dug into my inner thigh and spread my legs and he thrusted into my wet entrance without hesitation.

My breath stuttered and he let out a hiss of pleasure. You'd think by now, I'd be used to the length and roughness but every time, every single time, the first thrust always took me by surprise.

'Slow, Cade, go slow," I begged, my body already adjusting to the length of him.

He froze, his entire body shaking as if staying still was the hardest thing he had ever had to do. There was an intensity in his eyes that made it difficult to keep his gaze. Sweat dripped from his forehead unto mine and we both moaned as he eased out of me slowly, so agonizingly slowly that my body burned for him.

His gaze flicked downwards, transfixed on the point where we connected. Like it was the most fascinating thing he had ever seen.

"Fvck, Lily," he rasped roughly, one hand squeezing my b****t hard enough to hurt, the other gripping my thigh even more roughly, losing some of that mechanical control I associated with him, "I should have known you'd feel so f*****g perfect."

He punctuated the last word with another violent thrust that ripped the air from my lungs and made my heart beat for him. As he f****d me deep and hard and slow, eliciting helpless whimpers from me, his hands roamed all over my body, his fingers traced my face, my cheeks, the indentures on my mouth, as if he was studying me, mapping me out, as if this was the last time he'd ever get to see me, wed ever get to do this.

The thought made my heart squeeze painfully and my anxiety only sky rocketed with his rough promises against my lips. "I will bleed for you. I will die for you. My queen, my luna."

Fear seized my heart and my fingers raked up his abs. His body felt like it was on fire as I slid up his arm and gripped his shoulders, claws digging into his skin, a feral need in my chest as I pulled him down to kiss me.

My eyes bored into his, "you will live for me, Caden. I won't let anyone take you from me."

His eyes turned darker, bluer than I have ever seen them.

"Likewise, my queen," he whispered harshly, his large chest rising and falling with each pant.

He went ballistic after that, growling as he wrapped my legs around his waist and f****d me into the bed. His eyes never left mine, the intensity of his gaze chilling me and lighting me on fire.

Cade was a cold, practical and mechanical soldier on the battlefield but in bed, he was a beast. Hot and intense and rough and if I didn't match how he felt for me, I might have been terrified by his intensity.

His hand wrapped around my throat, intense blue eyes pushing me over the edge as he drilled deep, sharp thrusts that elicited wave after wave of toe curling warmth in my chest, pulling me closer and closer to the person he was at the core of his being

His kisses were as rough and hot as he fu c ke d; short, distracted kisses that left me panting hard and wanting more. I was crying into his mouth as I came with a force that shattered my teeth and made my ears splinter with a ringing noise.

With a rough growl, he came in me, hugging me close to his chest, his entire body hot and trembling over mine.

I pressed soft kisses all along his jawline, the corner of his lips, his cheeks, the bridge of his nose and he rolled us over in bed so that I lay on top of him, my head on his chest. 'I'll never let you go now, you know that right?"

My reply was a chuckle. There was a war coming, I could feel it in my bones, my best friend had just been turned, and our hands were tied while Aiden was still at the mercy of the council, but in this moment, these few seconds in his arms, I found peace. A calm in the storm.
