wait. Time isn't a luxury that we have right now, and with signal being so sketchy here, I've barely been able to check in with the others back home to see what’s happening with everything they were working on.
I try not to think on it too hard, to let myself worry over them, when I need to be present here, but when I'm alone like this, it’s hard not to worry.
The bathroom door opens, and I sigh when I feel him through our bond. In less than a minute the door to the shower opens, and a very naked, very hard Roman joins me beneath the spray. "I wondered where you'd gotten to."
He leans down and grazes my shoulder with his teeth before following the movement with a trail of kisses. I lean backwards, granting him more access to me as he grips my waist with his big hands. It’s rare that I feel small, but beside this hulking man, it’s hard not to.
"You are so beautiful," he tells me as he kisses up my neck, sucking at the skin, marking me. I run my fingers through his wet hair grasping at it, and his chest rumbles.
"I want you," I pant as he kisses lower, taking my nipple in his mouth, kissing, licking, and biting.
"Well, Princess, I want doesn't always get." I groan at his words, and reach down to his hard cock, stroking, wrapping my fingers around him, drawing moans from him until he kisses me again. "Turn around."
I comply and face the tile. He pushes my neck, so I bend forward, and I reach up, placing my hands on the tile to steady myself. I feel him pump his cock against my ass, and my desire increases.
He uses his other hand to dip into my wetness and I moan as his fingers open me. "So fucking wet for me, Princess."
He slides inside of me, and I rock backwards into him. He feels so fucking good, and I swear since the bond, it’s like I literally can’t get enough of him. He fucks me until I see stars, roaring as he follows with his own release.
After our shower, we have less time than I’d planned on, so I just towel dry my long hair and leave it in damp waves, before we head to the hall for the count of which packs will come should we need to call on them when dealing with the hybrids. But it’s more than that, it’s a showing of which packs accept me as Roman’s mate, and that thought has the butterflies in my stomach on full assault.
We walk over, his arm slung around my shoulders, as if he doesn’t have a care in the world. If it wasn’t for the bond letting me know just how tense he really is, I’d have no idea. I send as much love and serenity to him as I can, still not understanding quite how it all works.
As we enter the room, it’s like walking into chaos. So many people in one room, and I know for a fact that this isn’t everyone.
Roman leads me to the head of the hall, where a long table stretches across the width of the room, and the two seats at the center are empty. He says hello and talks to a few people as we work away across to the table, most people seem positive. I can’t tell which packs are where because the place is organized chaos, but I spot the Alphas dotted around the room.
We take our seats at the top table, and I can see everyone. The sheer size of this hall still astounds me, but there is no way that every single Lycan on this compound is fitting in here tonight.
“Stop looking so concerned,” Roman whispers in my ear. “The kids and a ton of people already ate. We’ll only have the Alphas and their main representatives here for this. When we feed everyone, the feast is held outside. You’ll see tomorrow, we’ll have a huge feast for everyone before people start heading back to their homes if they wish to. But people are always welcome to stay here if they want to as well.”
“Oh good, I was wondering how you were going to get any more people in here without blood being spilled,” I laugh.
“The night is still young, there could still be blood, but for now, try not to worry so much. We can smell the fear, smell pretty much all emotions really.
