AMELIA’S P.O.V

I wasn’t thinking of Blake or what he did to me.


No thought could exist in my mind outside of Kaden and the feel of his mouth on me. He feasted on me like a man starved and it took everything to not shut my eyes and get lost in the pleasure.

He kept his eyes on me the entire time. He knew what he was doing to me and he loved to see it. He loved watching me fall apart on his tongue and when I came, it was with a scream. He didn’t stop, he took everything I had to offer and much more. My fingers found their way into his hair and I tugged hard enough that I knew it would hurt.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted him to stop or if I wanted him to keep going but he interpreted it as the latter because he didn’t stop until I came a second time. My vision darkened for a minute and my legs felt like jelly as Kaden pulled back and placed a soft kiss on my inner thigh.


I couldn’t stop myself from grabbing him by his shirt and kissing him. I could taste myself on his lips and it felt perfect. There was nothing better and I knew in that moment that this was it- he was it. What Blake did or didn’t do did not matter in that moment because he was here with me.

“You did so good,” he whispered against my lips. “Fuck, I love you so much, baby. I’m so proud of you.”


“I need you inside me, right now.”

“Amelia-”

“You said you wouldn’t treat me like I was breakable,” I pulled back to look at him. “This is what I want. I need you to fuck me, please.”

He cursed before pulling his shirt off with one hand. His lips claimed mine once more and I felt something explode inside of me. It felt like the first time all over again and I was impatient. I needed him in a way that didn’t seem healthy but I couldn’t bring myself to care.

I vaguely heard his zipper but it didn’t occur to me until I felt him at my entrance. The tip of his cock nudged my opening and I hissed, my nails digging into his shoulders for dear life.

“Relax, baby,” he whispered against my lips before kissing me softly. “I’m going to take care of you. Do you trust me?”

“Yes.”

The words slipped out of me before I could stop myself. It wasn’t something I needed to think about. I trusted Kaden with my life.

He pushed into me slowly and my eyes rolled into the back of my head. We fit perfectly, like we were made for each other. A silent moan left my lips as he pushed into me completely. I could feel him everywhere- in my body, in my mind. I couldn’t think even if I wanted to.

He stilled inside of me, our foreheads pressed against each other. Neither one of us spoke, choosing instead to savor the moment and the feel of each other.

“I love you,” I managed out.

“I love you, baby.”

He moved in slow thrusts at first. Slow and calculated thrusts that I felt all the way from the tips of my hair to my toes. He had a firm grip on my thighs and in a move I didn’t anticipate, he lay me back against the cold counter and lifted my thighs to his shoulders.

I could feel him even deeper like this and a sound of pure lust left my lips. He picked up his pace after that, fucking me until the only thing I could think about was him. I was completely powerless under him and I didn’t mind it one bit, I just wanted him.

When I came, stars danced around my vision and I lay there completely boneless.

Neither of us moved at first, the reality of the situation dawning on us and I couldn’t help but laugh. It was soft at first and I tried to hold it beck because I wasn’t sure if laughing was the right reaction to my brains being fucked out but it was the only thing I could muster.

“Are you okay?” Kaden asked and I nodded but I couldn’t stop laughing.

The more I tried to stop it, the harder I laughed and just when I thought it was over, I felt tears gather at the back of my eyes. They weren’t sad tears, I was just overwhelmed. The knowledge that Blake didn’t have a hold on me anymore when it came to touching my mate settled on me like a heavy weight and the tears fell uncontrollably.

“Say something, Amelia,” he whispered but I couldn’t. I just shook my head.

He placed a soft kiss in the center of my chest before lifting me effortlessly. I vaguely registered him walking up the steps but it wasn’t until I heard the water rushing that it occurred to me that we were inside the room.

Without putting me down once, he ran a warm bath for us and gently climbed into the tub with me. I held onto him like a koala, never letting go for even a second, not even as the water sloshed around us.

“How are you feeling?” he asked as he brushed my hair out of my face. “I need you to say something, Amelia. I want to know that I didn’t hurt you.”

“You didn’t,” I assured him. It was the only thing I could muster for now. I lay my head against his chest and he sighed, his hands running down my spine in a comforting manner.

“You cried.”

I chuckled. “Because he doesn’t have a hold on me anymore, Kaden. That is why I cried.”

“Amelia,”

From his tone, I knew that whatever he wanted to say had the potential to pop whatever bubble we had surrounded ourselves in so I cut him off.

“Please, don’t,” I whispered. “Can we just stay like this for a moment? You can say whatever you want later, please.”

He hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”
