Breaking Boundaries
Rayhan
My smile only grew as she said those words. Goddess was my kitten cute. I pulled her close, claiming her lips in a deep kiss once more.
“I like you too, Kitten,” I whispered, breaking away.More than like… but I don’t want to scare you off.
We kissed for a few moments before I stood up, holding her by her thighs. I kissed her shoulder softly and placed her on the bed.
“As much as I want to kiss you all night, you’re injured, and you look pale,” I said, kneeling between her legs, my hands on her thighs. I hadn’t missed the way she had tensed, and I knew there was a high chance it was an old memory. I needed to take it slow, but I also needed to find out what actions could trigger those memories.
I wouldn’t deny that I was scared to know what she had remembered. Had she been sexually abused? The thought made me sick to my stomach. I just wanted to shield her from the world and kill the bastards who had hurt her in the most painful way… but I just hoped I was wrong. I pushed the thoughts away. I hoped one day soon, she would trust me enough to tell me everything so I could help her heal.
Her lips trembled, and I didn’t miss the way she glanced at my lips. It seemed like she liked that kiss... she wasn’t the only one. I leaned in, my lips grazing the tip of her ear.
“Turn around and let me see your back,” I whispered, making her shiver. She pulled away and hesitated.
“I don’t think that’s needed. I’ll be fine,” she said, looking uncomfortable.
I knew she wasn’t bothered about being naked in front of me. She had stripped off her top once in front of me, which meant she didn’t want me to see her injuries. How bad was it?
“Turn around, Delsanra,” I said firmly.
She sighed and turned around, sitting cross-legged on the bed. She reached for the hem of her flowy top, but she seemed to struggle. I reached over, slipping her top over her head and tossing it onto the bed as she covered her breasts, even though I was behind her,
But my attention was captured by the fucking horror before me…
The gashes made by a whip left not even an inch of her back free. My anger was rolling off me in waves; the urge to shift and go on a fucking rampage was taking over. She turned, concern and panic in her eyes.
“Control your aura,” she whispered, her arms still crossed over her breasts. I blinked, reigning in my anger. “It’s okay, Rayhan,” she murmured, keeping one hand covering her breasts as she reached for my hand with the other.
Fuck... The view before me made my mind go blank. Her sitting on the bed like this… those sore lips and those alluring breasts were teasing me.
“Sure…” I said, taking a breath when she turned away once again. I didn’t miss the tiny smile on her lips. It seemed like my kitten was beginning to realise just what an effect she had on me.
The list of all those who would pay for their crimes against her was ever-growing. I leaned down, running my tongue along the worst of her cuts, only for her to gasp and spring across the bed.
“What are you doing?” she yelped, her cheeks burning bright pink. If those injuries weren’t so bad, I would have teased her, but the state of her back was fucking suffocating me with crippling guilt and anger.
“Alpha saliva heals, Kitten,” I said softly. “It will help you heal faster. Lie down.” She looked suspicious at first.
“How?”
“It’s just an ability we alphas have.” I shrugged. No one ever questioned that.
“So, you randomly go licking people when they’re hurt?” she asked, wrinkling her nose. I smirked, glad her sassy nature wasn’t gone.
“No, I haven’t randomly licked people. You’re my mate, Delsanra, I am not going to leave you like this.” Okay, this entire thing did sound weird and animalistic… I couldn’t really blame her for calling me a dog.
“That’s weird… I swear, if I don’t feel any better by tomorrow and I discover you’re lying... “
I smirked slightly as she laid down slowly on her stomach after leaving her threat hanging. I realised the move itself was intimate enough. I tried to ignore her perky ass that pressed tightly against the cotton pants she wore. Focusing on her back, I slowly licked the wounds, not missing how she tensed or the way her breath hitched. I bit back my own groan when her arousal hit me.
Fuck.
I placed a few tender kisses along the way as I licked the wounds softly, hoping it helped.
“Do you have anything we can use as a bandage?” I whispered, kissing her shoulder once I was done.
