5. Running Away

Celestine’s POV

My eyes widen when he asks me that question. How am I supposed to respond? Am I offending him for being a virgin? Well, I was a virgin. When he put his thing inside me just now, I lost my virginity.

I never had sex with anyone before, not even with my ex-husband. This man is my first, and he seems unhappy about it.

Alpha Caleb tightens his hands, clasping mine. "Why didn’t you tell me?" He asks, pursing his lips. "I hurt you," he adds, looking sorry.

"It’s…It’s okay," I whisper. He doesn’t need to worry about that. As long as we’re done with this, I will not see him again.

I don’t care about what he said earlier.

He wants everything about me.

That’s bullshit!

As far as I know, he only says that to make me believe he is on my side. We’re only doing this as part of the deal, nothing else.

"Are you sure?" Even his voice softens, but I’m not going to buy it. He can’t fool me.

Nodding my head, I give him assurance. "Yes. Please continue," I say.

I want this to end as soon as possible.

Alpha Cadmus nods his head. "Let me know if it hurts," he mumbles, kissing the tip of my nose. Shifting his waist to thrust inside of me, he continues, "I'll be gentle."

Just like he says, his movement becomes gentle. The pain is still there, but it’s not as much as when he first entered me. His movement is consistent, making me get used to it.

"Ah!" I exclaim when his tip hits something inside of me. It feels great.

"Do you like it?" He whispers, nibbling on my ear. His lips moved down to my neck, biting, and sucking on it.

"Mm..." I start to enjoy the sensation welling up inside me. Suddenly, I want more.

"Faster," I whisper, shutting my eyes in pleasure. "Do it faster," I add, clasping his hands tightly as I wrap my legs around his neck.

"Yes, baby." Alpha Cadmus thrusts his waist faster, pounding me relentlessly.

I’m getting overwhelmed with pleasure. I never knew this could be so blissful.

"Oh! Yes! Ah!" I scream, burying my nails in the back of his hands.

"Damn! I love it when you moan like that, Celestine." Alpha Cadmus pauses for a moment before plunging deep inside me.

"Ah!" I cry in both pain and pleasure. Words can’t describe how exactly it feels, but I don’t hate it.

"I’m coming, baby."

My eyes pop open when he comes, filling my womb with his seeds.

It feels great! Until I realized something.

What if I get pregnant?

"You did well for your first time," he says, kissing my forehead. "How about another round?" He grins, massaging my left breast with his warm hand.

I want to refuse; I do. But my body moves on its own, betraying my mind.

"Yes, please. Let’s do it one more time." I agree, killing myself inside my head.

—--------------

I wake up sore and exhausted. I don’t remember how many times we did it last night. All I can say is that I don’t feel like doing it again, ever.

It feels good for a few first rounds, but overdoing it is not a good idea.

"Ugh, I can’t move my legs," I mutter, trying to get up.

My eyes dart to the man sleeping next to me. He looks so good, even with his eyes closed.

"Shit! I need to get out of here before he wakes up," I whisper, removing his hand from around me.

We sleep with him hugging me like a pillow. I don’t even remember exactly when I fell asleep.

I didn’t pass out, did I?

Regardless, this guy is a beast in bed. I regret agreeing to another round after the first. Now I have to deal with back and waist aches.

"Ouch!" I groan, stretching my body after getting out of bed. I’m lucky he’s still sleeping like a log.

I walk to the bathroom after putting on my clothes to wash my face, enduring the sharp pain in between my legs. My legs are wobbly as I take a step too.

"Ah, so this is the kind of consequence I have to face after sex," I say, looking at the mirror.

"I want to kill him," I add, glaring.

"Kill who?"

When a pair of arms snake out from behind me, I almost jump.

Oh, shit! He’s awake!

"Hey, baby, why didn't you wake me up?" he pouts, placing his chin on my shoulder. "You don't intend to run away, do you?"

He sounds innocent, but we both know he’s not.

"Who’s your baby?" I ask, raising an eyebrow at him. "Get away from me," I say, pulling his arms off my waist.

"I don’t want to," he mutters, hugging me even tighter.

Oh, please! Give me a break.

Are you not hungry, hm?" He starts licking on my neck like it’s a normal thing to do in the morning.

"I am," I reply, moving my head away from his lips. "Ugh. Stop it."

"I don’t want to," he giggles, moving his hands over my breasts. He gets a hold of my nipples with his thumb and forefinger, pinching them slightly.

"Mm. I said stop it!" I raise my voice, only for him to ignore me and continue what he’s doing.

"Get your hands off me, Alpha Cadmus." My voice is low, telling him I’m not tolerating him anymore.

"Eh? What’s wrong, Celestine?"

Ugh! He’s so clueless! Nah, he’s acting clueless!

"Everything!" I break away from his grasp. "Everything is wrong. I’ve already done my part last night. Are you still not satisfied?"

Alpha Cadmus stares at me quietly for a moment. "Nope," he says after a while.

Bullshit! Is he planning to go against the deal we made?

"I’m leaving," I say, walking out of the bathroom.

"Don’t leave," Alpha Cadmus says, pulling me back.

My back hit his hard chest. And what’s that hard thing poking behind me?

Goodness! No way!

"I have to go now," I say with a firm voice, trying to ignore his erection. "Let me go," I demand.

"No. Unless you promise me you’re not leaving me behind, I won’t let you go."

"Argh! Are you a child? Stop messing around and get your hands off me," I grumble when he doesn't move. "What else do you want from me? I already did my part."

Alpha Cadmus says nothing and hugs me. We keep standing, with him hugging me from behind for minutes.

Sighing, I decide to compromise. My legs need a break.

"Fine," I mumble, holding his hands gently as I try to remove them around me. "How about this?"

"Hm?"

"I’ll go down to get my stuff in my room. Why don’t you order breakfast for now?" I’m surprised when he lets go of me. Did my lie actually work?

Of course, I’m going to get my things from the room where I’m staying and go back to my territory. I say nothing about coming back to him, so it should be fine.

"Okay," he says, making me turn to face him. He presses his lips on mine and smiles. "What do you want for breakfast?"

I pretend to think before I respond. "Anything is fine. I’m not a picky eater." I smile.

Nodding his head, Alpha Cadmus kisses me on the forehead. "Go get your things. I’ll be waiting for you here. Or should I come with you?"

"No!" I bite my lower lip. "I mean, it’s okay. I don’t have a lot of things anyway. I can manage them by myself."

"Okay! See you later then, Celestine."

Waving my hand to him, I sprint to the door. My heart skips a beat several times as I walk at a fast pace to the elevator. I don’t want to waste any time.

I need to get out of here and away from him.

"Good bye, Alpha Cadmus."
