Sixty Six

Chapter Sixty-Six

Lucianna's POV

I was watching Ashira by the garden with folded arms on my chest and a swelling feeling on my heart. My friend would rather be with the birds and listen to them sing than have Aiden by his side. Its sad, really.

There is no way I could relate with how this all works. Ashira forgetting her own mate, Aiden's pain, the unborn child that has no clue with what is happening in the world. If I'm in their shoes… nah, I can't relate. I sighed.

Footsteps coming from behind straighten my back. It's Aiden, and I felt him stopped behind me. He's probably looking at Ashira now, too. Gawking at his mate like how he's doing for the past days.

"She's going to be gone for a while, is she?" I said in a whisper.

The silence is deafening and Aiden's aura has been so sad that my eyes started to form tears. I sniffed.

"She won't." Aiden answered gruffly. "Not to me." then he walked forward and stopped beside me. The rays of the sun glowed his golden-brown eyes and those eyes didn't fail to express how he felt while looking at my friend. "Thank you for being here, Lucianna. I appreciate the help."

"If only I can stay more." I mumbled, turning my gaze to my friend. A bird flied on her shoulder, and butterflies started to join the mini party.

"I wish the same, but I know it's too much to ask. Jacob needs his Luna back to his pack."

A groan left my throat before I could even think. Just the thought of being with Jacob hurts like hell, not emotionally because I got that one covered, but sexually? Heck. I could feel the heat of desire consuming my all every time he's around. A distracted Jacob is a help somehow, because he seems to be drowned in thoughts after all Roscoe and I disclosed to him.

My prayers won't stop though, asking the moon and God that no darkness must go through my mate or else I'll forever regret telling Jacob about everything. Damn, the thought of any side-effects of knowing more about what's happening strikes like shit, too.

"Don't leave him again, Luna." Aiden suddenly spoke that dragged me out of my thoughts.

"Hm, what?"

"I'm so proud of my brother for enduring days without your presence but I feel him. If it was me, I'd go insane." he sighed and pointed at Ashira. "My mate is right there, here with me, but her state which she didn't choose herself? Its making me lose my shit. You know what I mean?"

Aiden never, uh, spoke this long so I only nodded my head. Slowly. He also had a point. If there's something I'll never go down to argue with, its Aiden's current pain.

"I'm not gonna leave him again, Aiden."

The Alpha looked at me and smile, a tiny timid smile.

"That part is never a question, is it?"

"Hey!" Jacob shouted, coming from the Ancestral's entrance right after Aiden said the words, and I couldn't response. I didn't have to. Aiden knew my answer to that, no questions necessary.

"All ready to go, brother?" Aiden said as Jacob stopped beside me. I looked up at him and saw his eyes bored right at me.

"Yep." then he broke contact to look at Aiden. "What're you two talking about so serious here?"

"Well, I was in the middle of pursuing Lucianna to stay. Just few more days, perhaps." Aiden said, his face unfazed and I scoffed my laugh.

I felt Jacob tensed, his back straightening.

"Nah-ah, brother. My woman comes home with me, we've made that one clear." Jacob linked his hands with mine, our fingers entwining. "Get far away from that wolf, he could be persuasive if he must." then he dragged me out of the Ancestral. Almost as fast as he could.

"Come back anytime, Lucianna!" Aiden shouted.

"Oh, she will! With me!" Jacob shouted back.

I laughed hard, pushing myself closer to Jacob as we walked towards his parked car.

"Aiden is just kidding, Jacob." I giggled.

Jacob opened the car door for me, kissed my forehead before leading me inside.

"Yeah, I know, baby." was what he said before closing my car door.

I watched him circling the hood, turning his head to Aiden and lifted his arm to give him a finger. I laughed, yeah right you know.

Jacob sighed as he get inside the car, started the engine and we're on the road fast as if he can't risk stomping inside Aiden's land. I don't mind at all, to be honest.

"Roscoe's not coming back with us?" I asked when I didn't noticed Roscoe's presence on the other car.

"Uh, no. Said he needed to crash into Prime's library or something."

"Was it related to what we've talked about last night?"

"Yes. That."

"And you let him go? Alone?" My tone is not doubtful, more like surprised because who wouldn't?

"Not that I trust him or anything, Lucianna." he rolled his eyes.

I laughed. "The 'T' word didn't come from me." I said with a grin.

Jacob grew more annoyed that I chuckled, loud. "Aiden will provide guards around Roscoe, you do not have to worry, and that's the same reason I'm not."

"Chill, dude." I mumbled with a pout to hide my grin. Jacob is such an urggh. I already knew they made up so why the hell is he acting so cranky about trust, right?

Oh, well, maybe years of getting used to that makes someone cranky.

After Jacob's heavy sigh, we stayed silent inside the car until we've drove out of Prime's territory.

"Lucianna." Jacob called.

"Hmm?"

He stole a quick glance at me before turning his focus back to the road. He then bit his lips. "Uh, once we're back at the pack, I'm gonna held the Luna ceremony for you. I was thinking I'd surprise you but I believe you deserve to know beforehand."

My lips parted. A Luna Ceremony! I've been dreaming of it since the night of the mapping party! I know I heard about it through Roscoe but oh well, I'm not always believing the brother. Many things happened, more so, that I forgot about the mentioned ceremony.

"So, uh, you'll be there?" Jacob asked hesitantly because of my silence.

I chuckled. "Why wouldn't I?"

He shrugged. "Maybe you change your mind because I was… kind of late."

I feel like my lips will tore from how hard I bit on it. He is late, the ceremony was already late but whatever and whenever it was held, I think what matters now is its finally happening.

"I'll be there, Jacob. And I'll love every second of it."

Jacob sighed a relief and shut his eyes closed. His chest heaved up and down like he took air to finally breathe in like he was holding his breath for a while.

Abrupt sway of the car made me gasp loud and then we're at the side of the road, Jacob placed the car on park and he took me inside his arms.

"I love you." he whispered on my ears, his hug crushing me in a good way.

I smiled. "And I, too." then I chuckled and hugged him back, tapping his back when I felt its too much. "Come now, tough man. Back on the road, my ceremony awaits my presence."

Jacob chuckled and kissed my lips, too fast that I didn't had the chance to respond. He groaned as he pulled his lip away and I know he wanted more, I know because I feel it too.

I exhaled the feeling away. Goddamn.

"Let's get you home, then." Jacob cleared his throat and we're on the road again.

**

The moment I stepped on Jacob's porch, I felt a warm hand touched my chest. Caressed is the right word. Jacob has opened the door and turned to raise a brow when he noticed I stopped.

Is this what 'home' feels like? Because this feels so right.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed. My mouth run dry, my body shivers and my thigh clenches together. Damn! Every corner of the house gave scenes in my head. Jacob tossing me up the wall, thrusting inside me, and the clips made me feel aroused. Double damn!

"What's wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowing.

My head shook a bit and I smiled before walking to him. "Nothing. Let me get that bag, my phone is in there." He handed it but his eyes are asking. I ignored it, trying to ignore more what's building up inside me.

Great. Just great. Because of my constant thinking about Jacob and his effects on me, all the boxed up heat inside my body feels like a ticking bomb now!

My head was spinning as my legs moved further inside the house, Jacob follows behind me. Quiet, observing. It's weird but I feel the heat coming from his body even from three steps away, as if it flows. The air thickens around the house and I clearly felt the haze taking over. Damn, I'm gonna experience a wave of heat and I know it will come too soon!

"Lucianna." Jacob called, and the sound felt like a warning. He knew! He feel it, or maybe he already caught the scent of my arousal!

I am soaking wet and I can feel it through the silk panties I'm wearing! There is no way he won't notice how turned on I am! How much my body call for him!

"Hey," Jacob whispered, his hand gently grabbed my elbow to stop me from walking.

My eyes shut close, I'm denying myself to see him. I should. Or else, I won't be able to stop myself. The patience I have now is as thin as a thread and I'm on the edge of my wanting to be taste the pleasure, to be pleasured by him once more. Again, and again.

"Please let me go, Jacob." my voice is weak. I would have freed myself from his grasp but I know I can't, I don't have the strength to.

I didn't expect him to let me go, if so, my body wished he won't but my mind knew better. We can't be defeated by the worldly temptation. Jacob knew about everything so I hoped he will let go.

And he did.

And I felt frustrated that he did. Damn it!

Slow, his fingers left my arm. It was a long, slow and excruciating motion that the feel of his fingers on my skin stayed as if I've been marked.

I opened my eyes just when the warmth that came from his hand lingered. I looked at his hand, and my eyes got sidetracked by the growing bulge in front of his pants.

A curse came under my breath and I closed my eyes tight once more. Control, Lucianna, control.

This time, Jacob's both hands moved on each side of my face. He tilted my head up and I felt his hot breath on my face.

"Look at me, Lucianna."

I shook my head.

"I hate seeing you like this." he uttered softly. "Look at me, baby."

"N-No."

He hissed, a low sound that I don't know how he does it but he sounded sexy, arousing me even more.

"You want me, baby. I can smell it," he sniffed and I can feel the tip of his nose on my neck. "I can feel it." his fingers dud on my nape. "Don't deny me, baby, don't deny what you feel because you know you can't. And I don't want you to." Then he planted a kiss on my cheek that made me flinch. "Now, look at me."

I gulped, twice.

My eyes fluttered as I opened it, holding my breath as his charcoal eyes met mine. The desire is burning in his eyes and I sunk too deep in it. Jacob groaned as if the eye contact elevates his desire. And so mine, too.

I moaned when my core tingled, reflecting through Jacob's reaction.

My knees wobbled and I inched closer to him for support. "We can't." I mumbled. Every words doesn't have any strength. I pressed my forehead on his broad chest and his heartbeat drummed on my ears.

 He feels crazy, just as much as I am. His heartbeat are in a marathon.

Loud, wild and alive.

He dropped his hand to my side, making way from my hips and up to the small of my back. He pulled me to him, even closer than we already were that my ragged breathing hitched.

"I know. But I won't leave you like this." he says. The other hand moved up and slipped inside my shirt. He tugged on the soft fabric of my cloth, hard and strong that I thought my shirt will rip.

I gathered my strength to look up at his face. The hue of his eyes changed to a black-reddish color. And I know the desire is challenging his alpha over control.

I started to shake my head and pushed myself away from him but Jacob did not let me. Instead, he wrapped me in his arms more.

"We can't have sex. Its a risk, Jacob."

"I'm yet to believe those theories you told me but I will respect what you want." he cupped my face again and looked directly in my eyes. "If you don't want to have a pup, we won't. I won't force you, but it does not mean I can't satisfy your needs, baby."

My lips parted. "Wh-What?" What I heard seems to be a fantasy I've been longing to reach for so long. Jacob satisfying my needs… heavens, I'm drooling!

His hand went to my neck, his thumb right under my ear while the other hand rested on my right butt cheek.

"I got a hundred ways to make you come, Lucianna." he inhaled my scent, closing his eyes on the process. "And you, reaching your climax…were never a bore to me."

I groaned. His words affected my body too much that I feel so close to exploding, to making him see my face as I come. His voice acted like an aphrodisiac, his eyes become my booster and his body… I moaned loud before I could think.

"You want that, huh?" he smirked.

I nodded my head. Yes, hell yes!

"Come on, baby, say it. I want to hear your voice."

I groaned, not from the frustration but because I'm turned on even more. Jacob's hands didn't stopped from prolonging my arousal. He caress my back, gripped my waist, cupped my butt and all those happened repeatedly.

He dipped his head on my neck and my whole body shivers. "Tell me what you want, Lucianna."

I moaned when he nibbled on my skin. "Make me come, please make me come!" I pleaded.

Jacob sucked on where his bite mark was and the move made me arched my back. His bond mark has faded, but the bond between us was embedded on my flesh, on my soul.

"I want to claim you mine again. Can I do that, Lucianna?"

I hissed when I felt his teeth grazing on my skin. "Y-Yes."

His hands went on my waist and he hastily turned my body that my back slammed hard on his chest. I moaned when I felt his hard arousal on my butt. The thing was throbbing as if it breathes.

"You're hard…" I moaned, my voice breathy as my hand reached between our bodies, grabbing his hardened member. He groaned, thrusting his hips forward from the contact. My hand feels like it will melt from how hot his cock was inside the fabric.

"All because of you, Lucianna, That's all you." he breathed and I gripped him harder. In one swift move, both his hands cupped my butt and lifted me up. I instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist, my arms on his neck and our eyes locked as he walked towards our bedroom.

My legs, spread as they were, made my core hit directly on his hard-rod. I bit my lower lip from the friction of our private parts brushing against each other through the fabrics of our clothes. I feel myself wetter, soaked and so close to coming.

A ripping sound echoed the room, followed by his ragged breath.

I groaned. "Jacob~"

"Just getting rid of the nuisance, baby." he smirked and the next thing I knew was I'm laying on the bed as Jacob knelt above me. "Your scent…" he inhaled. "Amazing."

His lips crashed mine next and how much I've missed his wild kisses. I responded to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him close.

His hand went on the inside of my thighs, I gasped. My core clenches, producing more liquid, and I'm on the edge of my arousal. I arched my hips up, wanted his hand to touch where it should be.

I groaned when his hand stopped my hips from grinding, holding me back down to the bed.

"Please!" I almost cried. My sight are blurry, and I'm seeing red from how the heat consumed me. "Just touch me!" I whined, arching impatiently against his hand.

Jacob hissed. His sound was as if he was in pain and I looked down to see him clear.

His eyes are red, his lips parted slightly and before I could ask or even think, he ripped the rest of my clothes!

"Jacob!"

"Goddammit, Lucianna!" he breathed, cursing lowly while his eyes roamed my now naked body, bare for his eyes. "I don't think I can hold on any longer."

Jacob couldn't wait, he is nearing his own edge but I'm starting to get selfish. I couldn't care more about his own desire, I wanted mine to end!

In a fast but careful move, he brought his hand down, two of his fingers moved and slid gently on my folds. My back arched the same time his fingers got soaked with my liquids. I felt the tingling sensation crawled from my core to my stomach, pumping my heart faster and making my urges come to life.

"Oh, god. Oh, god." I am so near! My heat is so bad this time that I couldn't stop it nor control it! All my body wanted was to give in, and this heat is not kidding. "More, Jacob. I'm so close."

His fingers moved in circles, slow and hard at first but changed its pace to fast. He expertly teased my hardened bud and just when I was a second away from coming, the unexpected happened.

Jacob bent down, his head positioned in between my legs and the fingers that was touching my sensitive mound was replaced by his tongue. The two fingers found its place on the entrance of my slit and when he sucked on my clit, he thrusts his fingers inside.

I fucking exploded and I'm screaming!

My legs stilled and my body couldn't stop from shaking. Jacob grabbed on my legs tight, his mouth is still around my aching bud and he moved his tongue in a soothing way. No, I was not soothed, my climax just moved to a more intense and I kept coming one after another.

I'm weakened and limp when he finally decided to let me rest. He looked at me, a smirk on his face and his eyes turned to its normal color now.

"That's one, baby, I got ninety-nine more ways to show." he smirked, licking his lower lip as he watched my reddened face and chest.

Oh, fuck it 'cause this heat can take that ninety-nine.
