Mated To An Enemy



Laying with her back against Axel’s bare chest was more natural and relaxing than the feeling of warm water falling over her in the shower. Breathing in his scent, feeling the warmth of his body and the soft thump of his heart soothed her.

Alice couldn’t help the gentle moans that slipped out as his hands moved down the length of her body, from her ribs to her hips. She turned her head on his shoulder, her nose moving into the crook of his throat. She closed her eyes, bit down on her bottom lip, and breathed him in.

His warm chocolate scent rushed through her nose, reaching out to memories of all her senses. The sound of his hungry growls and his husky laugh. His stormy eyes stared into her soul with tenderness and desire. The taste of his lips, of his body. The rough feel of his hands as they touched every part of her.

Alice moaned and nuzzled her nose against his throat.

Behind her, his body trembled as he let out a heavy breath. His hands moved back up to her shoulders, squeezing gently. The warm water fell from his fingertips in soapy streams down her arms.

“Alice…” he whispered breathily. “It’s a bit distracting when you do something like that…”

Alice smiled, keeping her eyes closed and nudging his throat with her nose.

“You don’t like it?” she whispered. Knowing her hot breath against his skin would only make it harder for him.

Axel swallowed and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath.

“I love it…” he whispered. Tilting his head and softly rubbing his jaw against her hair. “But… it makes it very hard to concentrate on my task.”

“So easily distracted,” Alice smiled. “That’s not a good thing for an Alpha….”

She opened her mouth and lightly touched his throat with her tongue. She then lifted her chin and gently bit him.

Axel clenched his jaw and drew in a sharp breath.

“Don’t let me distract you,” she whispered against his throat, pressing soft kisses to his flesh. “You should really be more focused, Alpha Axel.”

He closed his eyes and took short breaths as he tried to focus his mind. But it wasn’t easy. Getting into the bath, he knew hiding his desire for her would be impossible. They hadn’t been together in two weeks. More than that, he hadn’t even been able to hold her during that time. He was desperate to touch her, taste her, and drive her wild.

And as playful and encouraging as Alice was, he was well aware that she was also punishing him right now.

When she had invited him to join her, Axel’s desire had almost overwhelmed him. But Alice was quick to clarify that their expectations were not the same.

“Wouldn’t it just be easier…” Alice said softly before her fingers reached the end of his belt and pulled it free from its clasp, “…if you joined me?”

Axel’s body reacted faster than his mind could process the words. As she pulled on his belt, his pants had grown tighter, and his heart threatened to explode. He swallowed and struggled to control himself.

“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice low.

Alice smiled and nodded. Removing his belt completely.

He licked his lips and moved toward her. He leaned forward, intending to kiss her, but Alice leaned away before he could.

“Oh, I think you’ve misunderstood me,” she said innocently, though the smile on her face remained unchanged. “I didn’t mean that we should be intimate….” ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Axel pulled back, swallowing and looking at her with concern.

“I just meant that I would need your help,” she said. “Not just getting in and out but washing my body….”

Alice took a step back and put her hands on her protruding belly.

“As they’ve grown, it’s become much more difficult for me to be able to wash everywhere in a bath.”

“Oh…” Axel said, lowering his gaze to the floor. “I’m sorry… I misunderstood.”

“It’s all right,” she said. “If you don’t think you can help me, I can just take a shower.”

“No,” Axel replied quickly. “The doctor said a bath would help with the pain; I can help.”

“Are you sure?” she said, pulling the towel from around her body and dropping it. “Can you really stay focused on what I need?”

A growl grew in his chest as his eyes fell on her naked body, swollen breasts, and the curve of her hip. The hunger inside of him had risen to the surface. His flesh was on fire with his need to touch and taste her.

But he took a deep breath. He swallowed it down and thought only of the look on her face from earlier. The pain she felt as their children grew.

Axel pulled off his shirt and nodded.

“I can.”

They had gotten in the tub and sat down with her back against his chest, both ignoring the obvious confirmation of his desire that was pressed against his stomach between them.

Alice had laid back against him. The soft breaths she took and gentle moans she let out confirmed for him that the warmth of the water had already begun to do its job. He was pleased to know that her pain was even slightly lessened.

But as soon as he began to wash her, as his hands touched her skin with the soapy water, the mood started to change. A blush had crept into her cheeks, and her soft breaths and gentle moans had become shorter and deeper.

Axel was already struggling, but when he saw how she bit her lip and turned to his throat, and he could feel her hot breath, he was nearly undone.

ƥαṇdαηθνε| As her soft, wet tongue traced along his throat and then she bit him, Axel clenched his jaw with a sharp breath. He wanted to capture her lips and shove his tongue into her mouth. He wanted to taste the sweetness of her tongue and feel the heat of her desire.

“Don’t let me distract you.”

The devilish way she said it as she pressed soft kisses against his skin. Axel closed his eyes. He had come here to apologize and work through all that had come between them.

If he lost control and attacked her now, would they be able to have that conversation? Would they be able to talk it out and understand each other? He worried he wouldn’t be able to explain if he gave in to his hunger for her now.

“You should really be more focused, Alpha Axel.”

But as Alice continued to kiss his throat and torment him with her taunting, Axel took short breaths. And as he tried to focus his mind, he couldn’t help but wonder if they weren’t already talking.
