Once Rejected, Twice Desired (Book 1 of Blue Moon Series)
Once Rejected, Twice Desired Chapter 16

Alaia POV

"Perfect. Now let's begin."

My breathing was ragged and rough. I could hear my blood rushing through my ears and smell my juices that were freely running down my thighs.

Xander was right; being blindfolded had caused all my other senses to compensate for the loss of sight.

I felt Xander move to stand directly behind me. I wanted him to touch me so badly.

"Spread your legs; just a little bit wider."

I did as I was told, and my legs were shoulder-width apart.

"Perfect. You're such a good girl. Do you want daddy to touch you, baby?"

"Yes, please, Daddy."

I felt Xander's fingers lightly brush along my right hip. The contact caused the usual sparks to shoot through my core, but because of the skin to skin contact, they were so much more intense. Xander reached out and swept my hair forward over my right shoulder, leaving my back and part of my neck exposed.

He then leaned down and placed an open mouth kiss, right where my neck met my shoulder.

I shuddered at his touch, making Xander growl in pleasure.

He then began to nibble and gently suck on the same spot, the spot that will one day bear his mark.

As his mouth continued its assault on my neck, his large hands began to roam across my curves.

He started at my hips before he moved forward and began to massage my stomach.

At this point, I was a whimpering mess, but I knew he was just getting started.

"Moan for me, Little One."

"Xander...please. Oh my god..."

My head fell back and rested on his hard chest. All my strength was being used to remain upright.

Once the delicious exploration of my stomach was over, Xander's hand parted ways, one heading south to wrap around my inner thigh and the other north delicately cupping one of my large full breasts.

I sucked in a sharp breath and almost collapsed in his strong arms.

Xander's mouth then moved to my ear, and I felt as his tongue flicked out to tease my earlobe. I would have never thought of my earlobe as one of my erogenous zones, but it seemed that Xander knew my own body better than I did. "You're doing so good, baby. I'm so, so proud of you."

I breathlessly said, "Thank you, Daddy."

"Let's see how wet you are, Little One; shall we?"

"Yes, Sir."

As soon as the words left my lips, I felt Xander press two fingers deep inside my core. I cried out from the sudden intrusion and felt tears escape and roll down my face.

Xander leaned down and slowly traced his tongue along the path the tears traveled.

"You're delicious, baby, and I haven't even tasted your best parts yet."

He slowly started to move his fingers in and out of my p***y, which began to flex and clench, trying desperately to hold him in place.

The sounds of Xander plunging within the walls of my juicy depths were only drowned out by my incoherent moans and heavy breathing.

He began to increase his speed, and I felt like I was being wound tighter and tighter.

"You will NOT c*m yet, understand Little One?"

Hearing him say this made me almost fall over the edge. I could barely form a coherent thought, let alone words.

Suddenly, I felt a hard smack on my a*s.

I gasped at the impact; it hurt so damn good.

"Answer me," Xander growled in my ear

"YES, DADDY! I UNDERSTAND!"

I felt myself starting to fall apart. My legs were shaking uncontrollably, and the tears were running continuously down my cheeks.

"Hold on, baby, just a little bit longer."

I nodded my head vigorously.

"Daddy, please!" I begged. I didn't know if I was asking him to stop or to keep going until my last breath.

Then suddenly, his fingers were gone. Almost immediately, my body wept from their absence.

"Open."

I did as instructed and opened my mouth. Xander inserted the same two fingers he was just ravishing me with, allowing my tangy sweetness to coat my tongue.

I drunk down my juices hungrily; I felt as if I was going insane.

I tried to steady my breath as Xander pinched and rolled one of my n*****s between his thumb and forefinger.

Xander again brought his mouth to my ear and said, "c*m. NOW!"

With that, he clamped down on my clit so hard, behind the blindfold, I saw stars. My body began to tremble and convulse, and my knees gave out.

Xander released my n****e and wrapped his arm around my waist to hold me firmly against his chest while he continued to pinch and pull my overstimulated bud. I threw my head back and screamed out his name. "XANDER!!"

It seemed like hours before the waves of pleasure finally broke. I felt Xander slowly release my c**t before rubbing his hands up and down my sides.

He placed soft kisses over my back and shoulders while he reached up to untie my wrists.

My bones may as well have been jelly. I collapsed as soon as my wrists are free, but luckily, Xander was there to catch me.

He gently lifted me, and I felt him turn and start walking towards the bed.

"You did so well, Little One. How do you feel?"

"Mmhmm," was all I can say.

Xander chuckled then placed me down and removed the blindfold from my face. I didn't know when, but at some point, he had dimmed the lights making my transition back to sight so much smoother.

He walked into the adjoining bathroom, and I heard him turn the faucet on. A few minutes later, he returned with a warm soapy towel and began to clean my body gently.

"Usually, I'd end the night with a warm bubble bath, but I guess that will have to do for now."

I nodded my head and felt myself begin to lull. My o****m drained every last drop of my energy. I had never experienced such pleasure in my life.

"Sleep baby, I'll be here when you wake up."

Xander snuggled in beside me then placed a light kiss on my forehead. I breathed in his scent before I let myself fall into a deep slumber.

Aaron POV

The morning after the challenge, it felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

Finally, all the drama with Alaia was over, and she could be happy.

I looked down into the beautiful face of my sleeping mate and realized that I to could finally just be happy.

Then I thought about Alexi. He was my best friend, but now I didn't even know what he was to me.

When he rejected Alaia, it was almost like he rejected our friendship, and now I didn't know where to go from here.

I heard the "buzz-buzz-buzz" of a message come through, and as carefully as I could, I reached over to my bedside table and grabbed my phone.

I saw that it's a message from my dad, asking me to meet him in his office.

Sure thing, Dad. Give me about 30 minutes to get cleaned up, and I'll be right there.

I sent the reply, then sat the phone down and turned back to look at Jordyn's sleeping face.

I had always thought she was beautiful, but now she was all I could see. I couldn't think of anyone better to be my mate.

I lightly caressed her face and whispered, "Jordyn, babe. Wake up..."

She moaned in protest, which makes me chuckle. She and my sister were so much alike. Not morning people at all.

I tried again, this time adding, "Just wake up for a few minutes, then you can have the entire bed to yourself."

She wrapped her arms around my chest in a tight hug before she opened one beautiful blue eye.

"The sun is barely up, so why are you?" she grumbled.

"My dad asked me to come to his office. I've got to hop in the shower and get ready to head down. You stay in bed a bit longer, and after the meeting is over, I'll come up and get you for breakfast." Her face broke out in the most beautiful smile, which I couldn't help but return.

"Aaron, you know I adore you, but you could have just told me that in a note, even a text would have been more acceptable."

She then rolled her eyes at me before the turned over and pulled the blankets back over her head.

Her antics really made me laugh as I moved out of bed and headed off to my shower.

"I think you love sleep more than me," I said over my shoulder.

"Mmm!" She replied as she snuggled into my recently vacated pillow and stretched out to take up as much space in my king-sized bed as possible.

After I finished getting dressed, I headed down to my dad's office. The door was slightly open, so I took it as an invitation to come on in.

As soon as I stepped in the door, my dad looked up from his computer and sent me a smile.

"Come on in Aaron, and shut the door, will ya?"

I did as he asks before I took a seat in one of the plush leather chairs before him.

"So, how is everything going with your mate? I suspect since you've known Jordyn for as long as you have, things should be off to a great start."

"Things are perfect. I can already tell that she's my perfect complement, she'll balance me out for sure."

"Good. Good. Well, let me get to the point so that you can get back to her. Your mother and I are ready to step down as Alpha and Luna and hand the title over to you and Jordyn. You've shown yourself to be a more than capable leader, exhibiting maturity and wisdom beyond your years. I know with your mate by your side, you'll lead this pack to the best of your abilities."

I was left speechless. Sure, I'd always known that one day my dad would step down, but to see that day come was a little overwhelming.

"W-when.." I trailed off and cleared my throat before starting again.

"When would the changeover take place?"

"Well I don't want to rush you, but I also know you're ready. So, I'd say the next full moon? That's six days from now. Plus, it gives your mom enough time to do her favorite party planning."

Six days? In six days, I would be the Alpha and Jordyn the Luna of the Opal Moon pack. Wow.

I looked at my dad in the eye before I nodded in agreement.

"Six days, it is then."

"Great. Also, something to keep in mind, you'll need to complete your first shift before you can be named Alpha. The night I became Alpha, I shifted at the beginning of the ceremony, went on a pack run to solidify the bond, then returned to accept the title officially. You can shift anytime before then if you'd like, but I've always thought the other option was the best way to deepen that pack bond. Your choice."

"Give me about a day to think about it? I'll let you know what I decide soon."

"That works. Now, for the last item on our agenda, who will you be choosing to replace Alexi as your Beta?"
