Arranged To The Alpha
Chapter 61

Natalia:

“Nat…”

“The bath is ready for you, Blake” I said, stopping him, not wanting him to dwell on the subject.

I knew that he was well aware of the struggles that I have been through; however, I was never really one to actually voice them out like that. The fact that my parents wanted to choose to give me up as a child never left my mind, and no matter how old I got, or how many times I tried to convince myself to just let it slide, I couldn’t. I was too hurt by them to do so.

“Natalia, don’t” Blake said, wrapping his arm around my waist, stopping me from taking a step forward.

My chest ached, but I couldn’t say a word to respond to him, and my body wouldn’t even let me move from his grip if I tried. He pulled me to his chest, ignoring the fact that nothing should be touching his stomach or side just yet, at least, not with pressure.

“I’m fine, Blake” I said, stopping him before he could say a word. The pressure that I was under lately was becoming too much, and the scary part was, I didn’t know how long I could last before collapsing. Blake turned me around to face him, and looking down at me, his eyes met mine before he shook his head at me.

“Natalia, the two of us know that you’re not okay, and I am the last person that you need to lie to about that” he said, his voice above a whisper as he looked at me.

“I’m just tired, love. I was under too much pressure with you being at the hospital, and our arguments; but I am fine” I said, trying to assure him, wanting him to drop the subject. But I knew Blake all too well to know that he wouldn’t just drop it so easily. He knew me more than anyone in the globe and knew that breaking inside was the last thing I would be showing any emotions for. Mostly because he knew that I didn’t like anyone to have any pity on me, and what he saw today was a little girl who was hurt inside.

I was a child, trapped in a woman’s body, knowing that I was abandoned for simply being born an element manipulator. I was locked inside my room for days and nights during vacations, and was mostly only allowed to go out for school. I wasn’t allowed to have any friends to ensure that I was kept secret, and therefore, was mostly isolated from those who were my age, and when I did found my first company, my parents asked ‘how would a creature like you manage this?’. Little did they know that one year later, my business was already flourishing, and I was graduating my bachelor’s degree.

Blake pulled me toward the bathroom with him without saying a word. Steam covered the room, blurring the mirrors, and looking at me, Blake slowly dropped his hands to the hem of my shirt, nodding at me. I looked at him, studying his expression before raising my hands over my head, ignoring the throb that I felt on my shoulder.

He took the shirt off, taking sight of the bandage for the first time since the injury. I always kept it hidden under long sleeved shirts to ensure that he or anyone around didn’t see it. Blake stayed quiet for a few seconds, looking at me with pained eyes. And smiling at him, I nodded in assurance before he snapped out of his daze and leaned in to k**s the bandage.

His k**s was gentle, that was, at least, until he started kissing my collarbone, neck, then just under my ear, making my body heat up. My right hand wrapped around his wrist, wanting to stop him; however, he sucked on the area, refusing to do so.

“Blake…”

“I missed you too much to care about a few injuries, baby girl” he whispered, pulling away to rest his forehead on my cheek “if you’re stopping me because I’m hurt, then I am going to go on. But if you want me to stop…”

I cupped his cheeks before connecting my lips with his, stopping him from completing his sentence. He smirked, and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer as to deepen the k**s, and standing on my I wrapped my arms around his neck. He bit my bottom l*p, pulling it gently, and moaning, he pushed his tongue inside my mouth, exploring it. I hummed, and smirking, he lowered his hands down to my pants, pushing them down gently, I giggled and slid them off my legs before kicking them off.

Blake pulled away from my lips as he hardened in his pants. He let out a low growl upon seeing me in my black lace set, and running his hands down my body, he squeezed my bum gently, resting his forehead against my own as he took deep, and slow breaths.

“You look f*****g beautiful” he whispered. I smiled, biting my bottom l*p before looking down at him, raising an eyebrow at the fact that he was fully dressed, and taking the hint, he smirked before pulling away to take his shirt off. My eyes were fixed on his wounds for a second, making his eyes soften as he cupped my cheeks, making me look at him “I’m fine, baby girl”

I didn’t say a word as I nodded, the memory of him coming to the office bruised and bloody was still fresh in my head. His eyes met mine, and smiling, I stood on my toes again and kissed him, stroking him through his pants as he slid his hand inside my panties, drawing circles of eight as he slowly drew me closer to my edge. The fact that it has been a while since the two of us have been intimate made my body sensitive to his touch, missing it.

“I want this, inside me” I whispered, squeezing his covered c**k gently. Blake’s eyes widened in surprise before he growled and removing his hand from inside my panties, he took a step back, taking his pants and boxers off. I blushed, biting my bottom l*p as I took my panties and bra off.

Blake wasted no time in turning me around, making me face the sink, and gripping on it, he stood behind me before pushing his c**k inside me. My eyes widened in surprise, and arching my back, I wrapped my arm around his neck from the back, pulling him closer. He kissed my neck from the back, his thrusts slow as he smirked against my skin, knowing the pleasure that I was currently feeling.

“F**k…” he hissed, feeling me tighten around him. A low whimper escaped my lips before I could stop it, and letting out a g***n, Blake’s thrusts sped up. He ran his finger over my clit, sucking on my sweet spot. The steam in the bathroom blurred the mirror in front of us, but I wasn’t really looking at our reflection as I tried to hold my climax as much as I could.

My husband’s thrusts grew sloppier, and letting out a low growl, his body shuddered before reaching his climax, filling me completely. His arms tightened around me as my own body exploded with pleasure. My vision blurred as I saw stars, and keeping his arms around me, Blake rode me off my climax.

He pulled out of me a few minutes later, our chests rising and falling with each breath we took, and chuckling, Blake turned me around to face him. My eyes met his, and I smiled, biting my bottom l*p as I pulled him closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck, hugging him tightly “you are my blessing, baby girl, have I ever told you that?”

His words reminded me of the love the two of us shared before I started letting Sasha get in my head with Myla’s situation. My eyes met his, and I saw the love that I knew he felt for me, I saw his respect, his patience, and his appreciation. The man who I was in love with stood right before my eyes, holding me in his arms, looking at me with the same gentleness that he had for me when he first marked me months ago.

The two of us stood in front of the sink, looking at one another, being as spontaneous as we once were. No grudges held, no pressure, no anger, and no pain. It was just the two of us. The two of us against the world like we have always been…

“And I am deeply in love with you, Blake Knight. With every single cell in my body, I love you so bloody damn much…”
