Cornelia leaned on James limply as they stood under the shower and he washed her in slow deliberate movements without a word spoken.
He enjoyed her every shiver and sigh as his fingers traced her perfect curves. She was hard and soft in all the right places, absolutely perfect, for him.
He really wanted to touch her more and hear her ecstatic cries again, but he feared that it would be too much, so he held back. It was hard.
When he was satisfied with washing her, James wrapped Cornelia in a towel and carried her to bed.
They laid to face each other, James completely naked and Cornelia wrapped in a towel.
"Will you tell me what's going on?" Cornelia was the first one to speak. He would normally be tense when he came to her in the evening, but this was more than usual.
James puffed his cheeks. "My father wants me to go to the Luna ceremony in the Blue River pack."
"And?"
"We will leave tomorrow morning and stay there for three days."
"And?"
"I can't take you. It won't be safe."
"And?"
"How do you know there is more?", he asked.
"Because you are still not looking me in the eyes, Jay."
James smiled helplessly. Cornelia was not easy to deceive, and it was not like he wanted to lie to her, but he didn't want to tell her unpleasant things either. However, now she was onto him, so he had to say something. "My father has… expectations." His eyes darted toward the folder that was crumpled on the floor.
Cornelia waved her finger, and a stream of silver light flew from there to disappear into the folder. A moment later, the folder rose in the air and drifted to Cornelia's hand.
Cornelia frowned at the contents of the folder and James shrunk while waiting for her reaction. And there it was, gritting of teeth before she said, "Your father wants you to fuck these women?"
James cringed at Cornelia's harsh choice of words which told him she was upset, and he couldn't blame her.
"I have no intention of touching any of them. I'm only telling you that he has expectations and instead of being here with you, where I belong, for the next three days I will need to be his perfect heir, pretend that I'm entertained by those women while avoiding them, and play stupid how I don't see they want to manipulate me."
Cornelia felt guilty for her temper flaring. Before they came here, James was honest about his position and his family, and she knew what she was getting herself into.
Neither of them wanted to hide their relationship, but even if they could find a way around Alpha Edward, with the Guardians watching, it was dangerous to reveal Cornelia's presence. That's why she spent her days in the Dark Howlers pack when James was unable to be with her.
She understood that James was in a difficult situation. This was their first challenge as a couple since they came here and she had no intention of letting him face it on his own.
"So…", Cornelia drawled while keeping the folder on the side. She turned to James and pushed his shoulder so that he lays on his back. "The issue here is that you will go to the Blue River pack, and you can't take me. Right?"
James confirmed. "Right." His eyes widened at the sight of Cornelia opening up the towel. He loved the sight of her skin. She looked edible and he really wanted to lick and suck and bite her all over.
Cornelia smiled at the sight of his hungry gaze. She leaned on him and started drawing invisible patterns on his chest with her index finger while talking, "What will you do if I'm there?"
James' excitement dwindled when he realized that he can't put her in such a situation. "But my father…"
"Let's not think about him", Cornelia interrupted him. "Imagine that tomorrow you reach there, and I'm there as well. What will you do?"
James found it difficult to focus because the sparks of their bonds prickled his skin wherever they touched which was a lot of surface at this point. "Uhm… I would not leave you out of my sight or hands. No sneaking."
Cornelia looked at him for a few long moments before asking. "What makes those three special?"
"They are not special", James said quickly. "You are better than those. You are the best."
"But your father chose them for a reason. What is it?"
James needed a moment. That finger moving over his pecks was super-distracting and his blood pooled in his crotch area to feed his raging hard-on.
"Those are daughters of high-ranking members. Not Alphas' daughters because my father thinks that it's early for me to associate myself with those. Two are daughters of Betas and one is a daughter of a general. The point is that they have status and can bring him benefits..." James' voice trailed as he finally understood where Cornelia was going with this. "You want to meet up with me there."
Cornelia was planning more than just a meet-up. She wanted to be with James right under Alpha Edward's nose because no one, NO ONE gets to set up her mate with another woman.
"Let me take care of this", Cornelia said while getting on top of James to straddle him. Her hips moved and his hot and hard shaft fit perfectly between her wet folds.
James was incredibly turned on by Cornelia's possessiveness that radiated from her naked form.
"What are you going to do?", James asked.
"You will see", Cornelia responded mysteriously.
He would tell her that going there was a crazy idea, but the thing was that other than a handful of people who were living and working in George's villa, no one else from the Red Moon pack was aware of Cornelia's existence. She could show up, shoot up some magic, and say that she was a messenger from the Moon Goddess, and no one would suspect a thing.
Cornelia was telling him how she will call Talia and there were more words after that, but James' mind was buzzing because Cornelia lifted herself and held his shaft in place while lowering herself on him.
His insides shook at the sight of Cornelia who threw her head backward to enjoy the sensation of him filling her up and when he was about halfway in, her jaw fell open slack.
They spent two weeks in the Midnight Guardians pack while healers dealt with the Guardian who intruded and then two more days in the Dark Howlers pack, and they made love many-many times, yet this was the first time for Cornelia to take initiative.
The scene of her sitting on top of him was arousing beyond belief and it was all amplified by the addictive sparks that danced over his cock as she enveloped him in her hot heat.
Her palms landed on his pecs and her hips started rocking against him.
"Is… is this OK?", she asked breathily.
"Perfect", he responded with a growl and his hands traveled from her perky breasts to her hips, unsure where to caress more because every inch of her flesh was inviting.
James lifted himself into a seated position and their bodies moved in sync, kissing and nibbling and fondling, and James thanked the Moon Goddess for giving him such a fantastic mate.
