Chapter 126

Caden’s POV

I heard the news.

Veronica was the spy who kept feeding information to Jude. She was the one who helped him with the rogue attack that killed her sister and my mate. According to her, she did all that because she wanted me for herself. I cringe at that thought. Never in a million years would I have even glanced her way.

I haven’t reached out to Isiah yet. Not that it’s my business what he decides to do with her.

The only reason I’m going to be reaching out to him is to ask him how he’s faring. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain he’s going through at this moment.

I have to admit that I was blindsided when I found out that Veronica was behind those things. It must have been worse for him. And to find out that she did all that because she was infatuated with me just leaves me disturbed.

I shake my head to get rid of thoughts of her. She doesn’t deserve to occupy space in my head.

Right now, my main focus is figuring out how to get Alessia out of those stu p i d clothes she’s wearing and onto my coc k.

I sit on the edge of the bed, contemplating my next move as Alessia paces around the room.

“I need to get them started on their training, repair some of the houses around, and also find a way to get the finances in order,” she ticks off on one hand, going over the things she finally had the time for now that Jude is out of the way.

“You will get those things done in due time,” I assure, standing up from the bed and wrapping my hands around her waist. I pull her back to my front and press my face into her hair, breathing in her calming scent. “You feel so good in my arms,” I whisper into her ear smiling when a shiver goes through her.

“No, Caden,” she berates, pulling out of my arms and turning around to give me a stern look. “Keep your hands to yourself. The pack doctor said you can’t perform any strenuous activities.”

I groan, pulling her back into my arms. “It has been weeks since I got this injury and I feel perfectly fine now.” Well, that isn’t the truth. I do feel some slight pain once in a while, but what I have in mind isn’t going to cause a strain on my body. Alessia is going to be the one doing all the work while I sit there and relax.

She shakes her head. “You aren’t perfectly fine,” she objects. She points to the wound on my chest. “It hasn’t healed completely and it could rupture at-”

Tired of hearing the words coming out of her lips, I pull her into my arms and silence her with a kiss.

She gasps when our lips meet and I use that opportunity to slide my tongue into her mouth, moaning when I finally get a taste of her. How long has it been since I last held her in my arms? Too f u c k i n g long.

I pull away, drawing some air into my lungs to catch my breath which has been stolen from me with that kiss.

“Get out of your clothes,” I order, sliding my hand under her shirt and up to her bra where I cup her breast through the offending material.

“Caden,” Alessia murmurs weakly. “We can’t. You’re still healing.”

I lower my head back to hers and steal another kiss from her while groping her through her bra.

She moans into the kiss as her fingers curl around my shirt. I pull away once more and trail my kisses down the side of her neck, nipping and pulling her skin between my teeth, leaving tiny marks that will be impossible for her to hide.

As she’s distracted by my kisses, I reach behind her and unclasp her bra. Without the bra concealing her breasts from my touch, I finally have enough room to cup her breast and run my thumb over her nipple.

She sighs, arching her back and pushing her breasts into my hands. “More,” she whines.

That’s more like it. That’s what I want to hear. Not her protests and complaints.

Pulling away from her, I tug on the end of her shirt. “Take it off,” I whisper, annoyed that my injury won’t let me do the honor myself.

She reaches for her shirt and pulls it over her head along with her bra in one go. My gaze trails over her upper body and once again, I appreciate just how beautiful my mate is.

“Your jeans.” I nod at them and then hold her gaze. “Take them off.”

Her lips part and her tongue slip out to wet her lips, sending a wave of lust straight to my co c k as I watch her.

She reaches for the button on the front of her jeans and pushes it out of its hole. Next, she slides the zipper down and h o o k s her fingers into the sides. She looks at me as she drags it down her legs and steps out of it. Then she’s standing naked in front of me safe for the tiny panties she has on that conceals nothing.

She twirls her fingers nervously in front of her as she peeps up at me. “What do I do next?”

It’s so f u c k i n g hot to watch her be so compliant and eager for my next request. Hard to believe that she was so against this a moment ago.

Co c k i n g a finger at her, I wait for her to draw closer to me. When she does, I lean down until my lips tease the top of her ear. “Next, you’re going to be a good girl and ride my co c k until I tell you to stop.”
