I shrugged. “I guess so. It’s more likely whatever the fuck she did was temporary or worked only while she was here so I couldn’t hurt her.” I snorted and shook my head. “Magic is complicated, and I don’t care enough to understand it. Liam is all I care about.”
When I got to Liam’s room, he was lying on the bed, awake but groggy. Philip left us alone without me having to ask.
I moved to stand beside the bed. “Are you okay?” I ran my hands over his head, down his face as I studied him.
“I’m fine,” he said. His tone was even but I could hear the anger in his voice.
His hands curled into fists, and he wouldn’t meet my eyes. Celeste’s spell hurt his pride more than anything, and I had dealt with enough Alpha males in my short life to know better than to press him.
When he was this upset, his wolf rested just beneath the surface ready to pounce on anything perceived as a threat. Other than the Fae, he was the most powerful being alive, so I had to approach an angry Liam as though he were a rabid beast.
“Do you want to shift?” I asked, running my hand through his hair.
He shook his head. He clenched his fists even tighter. I knew he thought he’d lose control and possibly hurt me if he touched me. Even while he was lost in wolfland and scared of himself, of what he could do to me with little effort, I trusted him.
I needed to draw him out. He needed soothing. And even if he’d never ask for it, I knew what he wanted, what he needed, and I was more than happy to give it to him.
“Will you stand for me?”
He stood, stiff as a board, a few inches in front of me with his arms at his sides. He didn’t move to help me when I slowly undressed him. I knew he wasn’t completely lost when his eyes followed my movements as I undressed myself. A low growl came from deep in his throat when my mouth touched his, proving his wolf was lingering just below the surface.
“Hush. Be nice, Mr. Fraser,” I said against his lips.
He stopped growling but still didn’t touch me or return my kiss. So, I moved my mouth over his cheek to his ear, running my tongue around it before suckling on the lobe. A small smile formed on my lips when I heard his sharp inhale.
Encouraged, I kissed my way down to his neck, letting my breasts rub against his chest. His head tilted a little, giving me better access. I licked at the saltiness of his skin. A low sound, almost like a purr came from him when I slid my hands over his back to rest on his waist. I moved my mouth over his chest, nipping at each nipple. He looked down at me with hooded eyes as I made my way over his torso until I was kneeling in front of him.
My hands went to his ass, and I watched his reaction when I ran my tongue over his erection. His hands fisted at his sides, but he still wouldn’t touch me. I was determined to change that and smiled up at him before slipping his length into my mouth.
Knowing he loved it, I circled my tongue around the head of his cock a few times then gripped his shaft with my hand, moving it in time with my mouth. His resolve finally cracked when I tightened my grip. He lifted his hands to my head, weaving his fingers in my hair. When I grazed my teeth over him his hips bucked, pushing him further into my mouth.
I watched his eyes flutter closed and his head tip back as I brought him close to the edge. When his body stiffened, I moved faster and gripped him a little tighter until he came. The growl he released this time had nothing to do with anger. After the last pulse of his climax, he looked down at me. His features were more relaxed, and a flash of heat crossed over his eyes when I licked my lips.
“That’s better,” I said, standing again. “There’s my Liam.”
His hands moved to the small of my back, pressing me tightly against him. “Thank you,” he whispered before lowering his lips to mine.
I opened to him, kissing him deeply as my need for him grew unbearable. A moan escaped me when he nipped at my bottom lip. “Lie on the bed,” he murmured.
I obeyed, and the way his eyes roamed over me had my center throbbing. He covered me with his hard warm body and kissed me as he slid his cock inside me.
His slow, rhythmic pace had the pressure building in my core. When I dug my nails into his back, he moved faster. He tore his mouth from mine to cover my nipple. He nipped it lightly, sending me plummeting over the edge.
We stayed in each other’s arms for a while. He nuzzled his face into my neck as I ran my fingertips over his back.
I brushed his hair back from his face, tucking it behind his ears then rubbing my palms over his bearded cheeks. “I’m going to take a shower. Then we should talk.”
He lowered his lips to mine for another kiss before rising to stand, pulling me up with him. “I know.”
I walked toward the bathroom, stopping when I heard a growl coming from behind me. When I turned around, I saw Liam watching me. Concern flooded me and I stepped toward him. “What’s wrong?”
He closed the distance between us, walking me backward until my back touched the wall. “Watching you walk away… I can still smell your arousal…” His eyes fluttered when he inhaled deeply. It seemed his wolf hadn’t completely receded. “I need you again.”
I touched my lips to his and let him wrap my legs around his waist. “You have me, Mr. Fraser. I’m all yours,” I whispered against his lips as I took him inside me.
When I finally made it to the shower, Liam joined me. By the time we’d dried off, he was feeling back to his old self. When male shifters get upset, they need to dominate someone by either fighting them or fucking them to get rid of that excess energy. Alphas are worse than typical males. Since Liam is AlphaandtheVinur he had even more to get out than a usual male or Alpha.
I was more than happy to help him through it. Sex with him is incredible on a good day but add in the intensity of his frustrations and it was mind-blowing. My taking care of him was not a completely selfless deed.
