Iris softly mewled in Cane’s arms, her body felt very sore, but delightful, she could feel all the traces that her mate left on her body, imprinted on her skin and engraved in her heart, as she was contented and pleased.
Her eyelids were so heavy and she flinched when Cane pulled out of her, as something warm trickled down her thighs.
"Don’t go..." Iris whimpered when Cane moved away from her, but she didn’t open her eyes, she reached out her arms and hugged his neck again, while the alpha softly chuckled against her neck. "Don’t go..."
"We need to clean you up, okay?" Cane whispered to her ear and nibbled on her earlobe, which made her squirmed and shook her head. "I will prepare the bath."
"No." Iris frowned like a stubborn child, she opened her eyes lazily and pouted her lips. "I will come with you."
"You need to get up if you want to come with me." Cane kissed her nose, eyes and forehead. He couldn’t get enough of her. He realized that he had been neglectful of her, since the merchant arrived and he had a hard time to come into an agreement with them and get what he wanted, while at the same time, he had to deal with alpha Nolan too.
The alpha would have found a way to meet with Iris again if he didn’t put more guards around his mate and gave a strict order to the warriors not to let him come closer to her again. freēwebnovel.com
"Okay." She agreed, but didn’t make any attempts to move, instead she closed her eyes, was about to fall asleep. Right now, she was very clingy.
"Iris?"
"Hm?"
"You smell so good." Cane buried his face against the crook of her neck. She smelled so sweet and addictive, as if she was a drug and he was addicted to it.
Iris moaned when she felt Cane’s tongue licked her collarbones, she was full of anticipation if they were going into it again, though her body couldn’t keep up with the desire, but if she could, she wanted this more.
She felt delightfully satisfied when there was nothing between them, when his skin met hers and she could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat, as her own matched it. This was the most vulnerable moment, where they showed their raw feelings and tried to understand each other in different way.
"We need to take a bath," Cane growled, because he remembered he had a meeting with the merchant to talk about grains.
"Are you going to meet the merchant?" Iris asked lazily, didn’t want to wake up at all.
"Hm."
In the end, Cane carried her to the bathroom and let her sat down, while he prepared for the bath. His mate looked so tired and sleepy, she even almost fell asleep and stumbled.
"I am sleepy," Iris yawned when Cane put her into the tub with warm water before he sat down behind her.
"I can see that." Cane pulled Iris closed to him and let her leaned against his chest, as he washed her body with soap. Her perk nipples were so red and sensitive when he touched them. "Sleep, I will take care of you."
Iris yawned, she snuggled against him to find a comfortable position, but somehow, she turned her body and kissed him instead. She was sleepy and clumsy, the kiss merely her nibbled on his lips, which made Cane chuckled.
"Be good and don’t move around." Cane steadied her body again and cleaned her up, but when Iris was about to touch him, he caught her hand and pushed it away, but he rewarded her with a kiss when she opened her eyes and felt hurt to be rejected. "You are too tired, Iris, you can’t take it."
Iris pouted her lips and wrapped her arms around his waist instead and kissed his chest.
"Be good." Cane patted her head.
Iris knew Cane was right that she wouldn’t be able to take it if they were going to do it again, but somehow, she wanted it more. She blamed her desire on the book that she read. She shouldn’t have read that book too often, because she started to imagine a lot of dirty things with her mate, which she would never admit it.
