97 Belong to you

Slowly releasing her hold on his neck, Ophelia pressed herself back onto the bed and gave him an innocent look. Those eyes. She was riveted on those crimson eyes, which always seemed to have their own minds of thei own, and they were devouring her from the inside out. They had an insatiable need and lust for her. 1

Those eyes said it all—he wasn’t going to let her sleep a wink that night./

She managed to whisper, “Nikolai.”

“Hmm?”

Ophelia hurriedly averted her glance from him as she covered her body with the blanket, her hands firmly in place.

“Oh no, no.” He smiled before grabbing her wrists and pinning them to the bed. “My sweet, don’t keep your lovely body hidden from me.”

Ophelia gulped and clenched her thighs. “Did you have to give me a bath?”

“Was I wrong?”

Ophelia gasped and wanted to punch him, but it almost seemed like he sensed it because his hold on her wrists tightened and his smile brightened.

“You saw me.”

“I saw everything that is mine.”

Ophelia’s face burned with embarrassment as she pursed her lips. “You shouldn’t have.”

“Are you…”

“Can I bathe you? We will be even if I bathe you!” Ophelia interjected with a giddy mumble. Her beautiful eyes shone with a mischievous glitter.

“You don’t have to bathe me to know that I belong to you.” He spoke sof before releasing her wrist and rubbing his nose on hers.

Ophelia smiled, feeling his warmth then wrapped her arms around his n as he lowered his body onto hers. “You always surprise me.”

Nikolai gritted his teeth as she buried her face in his neck. Goddess! He hard, and things were getting rough for him! His fingers trailed on her b chest moving down to the wonderful curve of her body.

“I can say the same about you.”

“Huh?”

She sounded astonished, and he laughed at that. His thumb touched her belly button, causing her knees to jolt up and press against his waist.

“Getting into a little fight with Danil… I wonder how much you know abou

me,”

“I can say the same about you. How much do you know about me?” Opheli said, leaning her head to the bed and staring at him with her eyes back in their hazel gray form.

“Much to know that you were created for me.” He whispered, pressing his lips on the tip of her nose.

Ophelia smiled. “So cheesy.”

“I’m being sincere, darling.”

“What if we had never met in that strange dream in the first place?” asked Ophelia, her lips pursed in thought.

“We would have met in different ways if we hadn’t run into each other in that strange dream.”

“Do you really believe in Fate?”

“The fact that we are destined to be together is inscribed on my back, s yes.”

Ophelia sighed. “That birthmark is really…” Just how really were they connected apart from the mate bond?

“To be completely honest, Tiana was incredibly afraid of the birthmark.” Nikolai stated bluntly.

“Ophelia was surprised. “What?”

“She often suggested he whip me at my back whenever my father decide to use death silver chains to discipline me. I recalled the pain I experienc with each blow and how the scars would always last for months until the finally healed. The birthmark attacks were almost invariably severe to the point of…”

“Death.” Ophelia exhaled with a slightly strained expression.

Slowly, she moved her hand to caress his cheek. “You didn’t deserve any of

that.”

“What if I did?” Nikolai questioned, taking his hand away from her stomach and placing it on hers, petting the backs of her knuckles.

“Nikolai, you were a perfect, innocent child who was corrupted the momen your eyes opened. You didn’t deserve all that.” Ophelia told him sternly.

Nikolai gave a gloomy smile. “I’ve always believed in past lives, you know. Sasha would constantly blather stories to Yulia and I about past lives and I used to think that perhaps I had committed a serious sin in a previous life, and this existence was a punishment.”

Ophelia pursed her lips, feeling her heart ache for Nikolai. Although he chould have spoken those words in sorrow, he did it casually, as if they had

ificance.

“However, once I was in Nexus’s engulfing darkness, I suddenly unders that the goddess despised me.” Nikolai laughed and sighed.

“Nik…”

“Ophelia. My existence no longer feels like a punishment thanks to your presence here.”

Ophelia smiled. “I’m pleased.”

You should be.”

When she noticed the obvious hunger in his eyes, her stomach turned. Suddenly, he pulled the cover over her body, tenderly pushing the hair fro her face. He looked at her like a meal and a treasure while touching her li an egg he didn’t want to see crack on.

Ophelia masked her smile. He really was something.

“You don’t really have patience,” She giggled and shook her head.

“Wedding night?” Nikolai asked with a smirk.

Ophelia laughed.

“You are not meant to be patient either. Do you want me to end up as a lonely lycan?!”

“Shush, don’t be so dramatic.” She grabbed hold of his shirt collar and tried to seize his lips but he took control of Ophelia’s mouth in a punishing, aggressive, and passionate manner.

Ophelia attempted to breathe, but he intensified the kiss, sunk his hands deeper into her hair, and cocked her head to give him full access to her

collar as she gasped excitedly into his mouth,
