Selling Myself To The Alpha
Chapter 31

Axel

POV

I run back home as fast as I can. I grab a blanket and toss it onto the backseat of my car before I speed to Liana's cottage.

Today's conversation with my parents was a wake-up call. They want me to marry and in a moment of anger, I agreed to something that I should not have. I only wanted them to get off my back and spoke too soon. And they will hold me to that. I need to get through to Liana. I need her to let go of Wyatt and accept me as her mate. And I need to do it fast.

"Are you ready?" I shout as I walk through the front door.

"Yes," she replies as she takes her bag and walks to me. "But it has hardly been ten minutes, let alone twenty."

"Good, you can read time," I tease her before I take her hand and drag her to my BMW.

"What the hell has gotten into you?" She laughs as I open the door for her.

"Sheer brilliance," I quickly kiss her on the lips before I close the door and get into the driver's seat.

"You're so confusing right now," She squints her eyes and turns to me as I drive.

"It's not complicated," I smirk. "I was unsettled, then you comforted me, and an idea hit me."

"May I ask why you were upset?" She asks gently.

"Only if you want to spoil this moment," I grind my teeth. The very last thing I want to do is discuss Angela.

"Okay, so tell me what I am to be expected on Monday," she changes the subject.

She listens intently as I tell her in detail what her new employment entails.

"Here we are,” I announce, and she looks around.

"But this is nowhere," she laughs nervously.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I ask as I look at the surroundings. As far as the eye can see, there are trees and shrubs. We are literally in the middle of the woods. "I always come here when I had enough of people. At this spot, you cannot hear any noises other than nature." "I bet it's scary here at night," she ponders.

"Liana," I look her in the eyes and all playfulness evaporates. "Do you trust me?"

"Yes," she whispers after a moment. "Yes, I do."

"Good," I sigh relieved and give her a quick peck on the lips. This will not work if she does not trust me.

"I'm going to shift," I quickly take her hand when she gasps for air and panic sets in her eyes. "Don't panic. Just listen, please. No loud noises or growling, I promise. You're going to stay in the car, and I will go behind those trees. I will go sit on that spot over there and I will wait for you, okay?"

"I... I don't know about this, Axel," She swallows hard and gently I stroke her cheek.

"Just... try," I look at her pleadingly. "Please?"

"O... okay," she nods after a moment and closes her eyes briefly.

"Thank you," I lean over and kiss her long and lingering before I reach over to the back, pick up the blanket and get out. I throw the blanket open in the clearing in front of the car. I look at her for a moment and wait until she nods before I disappear behind the trees.

Liana POV

I wring my sweaty palms together and start taking deep breaths. But no matter how much I breathe, I cannot beat the rising panic. Axel's wolf appears and I watch the magnificent animal walk to the clearing in front of the car. He sits down next to the blanket and looks at me in anticipation.

For the life of me, I cannot bring myself to get out of the car. I am being ridiculous! The only wolf that ever tried to harm me, was Brad. In fact, if it were not for Missy's wolf, I would have been dead. And I trust Axel, he has been nothing but good to me. "Get over yourself, Erickson," I mumble as I open the door and force myself to get out.

My knees feel wobbly and weak as I cautiously walk to Axel. His tail gently starts wagging and I smile slightly. He is nothing but an overgrown puppy. He does not move an inch when I slowly stretch my hand out to touch him. His fur is thick and soft under my fingertips, and I take a step closer. I slide my hand from his head down his back and a calmness flows over me.

"You're gorgeous," I mumble as I sit down on the blanket next to him while I keep caressing him.

He whimpers softly before he lays his head on my lap and looks at me with big, innocent eyes.

"Fine," I laugh joyously as I rub him behind his ears. "You're not so scary after all."

"I believe I owe you a drawing," I pull my bag closer and take out my sketchpad and pencils. "But I cannot do it with you on my lap."

Axel scoffs once but stands up and goes to lie down a few steps further. I look at him intently before I pick up my pencil to start the first line.

"All done," I announce and turn the sketchpad towards him.

He gets up and trots closer. He looks at it for a moment before he starts licking me on my neck.

"Ew," I complain and turn my head away.

"Are you calling me disgusting?" Axel murmurs.

"You're you again," I look at him in surprise where he is kneeling next to me. "And naked!"

"Thank you," he cups my cheeks and kisses me long and thoroughly.

It is not long before I am mesmerised by his touch, and I do not object when he pushes me onto my back. His hand moves tediously slow from my knee up my thigh, over my hip and stomach before cupping my b****t.

I wrap my arms around his neck and curl my fingers into his hair as desire starts building within. Slowly, he starts undressing me and soon our naked bodies are entangled on the blanket.

Being vulnerable and exposed to the elements of nature is an exhilarating rush and makes me feel alive. I reach between our bodies, and he jerks slightly when I take his erection in my hand and stroke him.

He groans from deep within his chest and I stop moving my hand.

"Am I doing it right?" I ask softly. I have never been this bold or touched a man like this before and I am clueless.

"Don't stop," he groans as he covers my hand with his. He tightens his grip on my hand and guides me up and down. I continue with the rhythm with more confidence, and he moans his pleasure against my lips. "Enough for now," he takes my hand away and towers over me before he captures my n****e in his mouth.

His lips move from my breast down my stomach towards my navel. He spreads my legs and I obey eagerly. His hands are resting on my inner thighs as his lips move lower.

"What are you doing?" I gasp in surprise when he licks my c******s.

"Enjoying you," he replies before he continues what he started.

"Holy shit," I whimper when he alternates between licking and sucking. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine that it will feel so good.

My fingers curl into his hair as my breathing becomes faster. He slips a finger inside me and my back arches from sheer ecstasy when my orgasm hits me. I am trembling by the time his tongue releases me from the sweet t*****e.

Axel smiles satisfied at me as he sits down and pulls me onto his lap with my back towards his chest.

"On your knees," his voice is hoarse, and I comply.

He centres himself and I groan when he shoves into me. Without waiting for his orders, I start moving up and down. He sighs in satisfaction as his hand roams from my stomach to my breasts. I gasp for air when he captures a n****e between his fingers and gently toys with it.

I keep on moving up and down as his lips caress my neck while his fingers continue pleasuring my nipples. His other hand moves down between my legs and starts rubbing my c******S.

My entire body is in sensory overload, and I reach my climax much too fast. I am still convulsing against his chest when he pulls my back tightly against him and thrust harder and faster into me until he reaches his own release.

I am a numb mess when he bundles me into his arms and lays down with me. For a while only our breathing is audible.

"I like your wolf," I smile and nestle closer to him. "He's pretty."

"Pretty?" He groans as he playfully sucks on my neck. "What happened to handsome or good-looking?"

"Just be grateful I didn't call him cute," I laugh as I wiggle out of his arms and start getting dressed.

"You're a wicked woman," he grins before he jogs towards the trees.

I gather my things and pick up the blanket.

"I'll carry it," A fully dressed Axel takes it from me and together we walk to his car.

"I won't be able to see you until Monday," he says as he starts the car. "We have guests at home."

"Angela?" I fail to sound nonchalant.

"And her parents," he confirms. "They're my parents' friends but I am expected to be there."

"I hope you have fun," I look out of the window as I say the words because I sure as hell do not mean them.

"I promise you, I won't," he sighs heavily.

"In that case, good luck," I smile, and he reaches over to take my hand.

"I'm going to need it," he kisses my knuckles.
