HIS QUEEN
Chapter 18

Two days had gone by since the challenge was issued. I hadn't left my room in those two days and nobody had come to check up on me. There was a dull ache in my abdomen today and I felt a bit feverish. The door lock clicked and the door was pushed open. Jairus

entered with a smile on his face.

"You haven't come out for two days"

"What's the point?" he sat on my bed.

"The duel is in two weeks"

"Why is it far away?"

"So you have time to prepare"

"There's no point. One week, three months, the result will still be the same. Gardenia will best me. I'm not about to prepare just to die."

"You can also win. You just need to practice. It'll just be games. Archery, hunting and sword fighting"

"I really don't care"

"You're giving up without even trying. After four centuries, my Lycan has just began bonding with who he recognises as a mother and you just want to leave without trying?"

"Jairus...."

"I'll be waiting for you in the gym at the East wing by noon. If you don't come....... I'll take it you've chosen your path" he walked out of the room. I didn't see the point in trying. I wasn't going to win at anything. At noon I met him at the gym. He had a smile on his face as he saw me. I fiddled with my fingers.

"I've decided to try"

"That's good. We'll start with basic exercises then I'll train you with the sword. I nodded. I stretched my body and did push ups. I used the treadmill and did some sit ups. By the time we were done, my muscles were sore. "You did great. Tomorrow at dawn, you'll meet me at the training ground. We'll run laps and you'll do a little more excercise" I groaned. My body ached from being overworked. I doubled over as I held my stomach in pain. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. Just a little cramp." I headed straight to my room and into my bathtub. I filled it with cold water and lay inside.

Hands shook me roughly. Althea leaned above me.

"Aren't you cold. The water is freezing" she placed her hands against my head. "You're feverish" I groaned in pain and clutched my stomach. A few moments later voices were in my room. Strong hands lifted me from the tub into his chest. I inhaled his musky scent and the area between my leg started to ache. I was wrapped in a bedsheet and placed in the bed. I struggled to remove the bedsheet but my hands were held firmly in place.

"LEAVE" a powerful voice growled. I dripped between my legs at the sound of his voice. Pitch black orbs stared down at me.

"Please help me" I had an itch I couldn't scratch. His eyes rolled back into his head for a moment. When he met my eyes, they were back to their normal green. He removed the bedsheet for me and cradled me in his arms. The burning lessened a bit but the intense burning between my legs increased.

"Thane" I moaned. He growled loudly and placed me on the bed. He got in behind me and wrapped his hands around me, his hard on digging into my butt. I ground my ass against him. I whined as he gripped my hips tightly to stop my movement. He trailed his hands down my stomach to my the bundle of nerves between my legs. I groaned loudly and opened my legs wider to grant him more access. My body felt more alive and sensitive right now.

He flicked my clit gently and inserted a finger into my core. I whimpered as he finger fucked me and stroked my clit simultaneously. He bit my earlobe and his fingers moved in a blur until I was a moaning mess. I threw my head backwards into his chest and moaned loudly, my fingers gripping his bicep as I came on his fingers.

The burning in my stomach had somewhat reduced and I no longer felt intense heat. I breathed heavily as I leaned against Thane. My leg was lifted and pulled backward to rest in his hip bone. I felt a blunt head rubbing against my entrance. Thane groaned into my neck and sucked on my mark as he flicked the head of his cock against my clit. His other hands clutched my breast and flicked my nipples as he bucked his hips into mine. His cock now in between my pussy lips. Every buck of his hips set the head of his cock against my clit. The pleasure was sensory overload but my body needed more. I wanted him inside me. No. I needed him.

"Thane" I whimpered. He bucked his hips harder and groaned. The hands on my tits became more urgent. He sucked my mark with fervour and flicked my nipples in tandem with the buck of his hips until I was a moaning mess.

My eyes rolled into the back of my head as I groaned loudly. I muttered incoherent words as I came. I felt my juices gush out of my pussy. Thane kept flicking and bucking through my orgasm making it stronger and longer. I collapsed boneless against him as the wave passed through me.

He buried his face into my neck, his hand clutched my breasts tightly, his canines nipping my neck as he grunted. His hips jerking sporadically once, twice followed by a loud growl as I felt a warm liquid splash between my legs. He groaned as he jerked into me. I no longer felt an intense burning. The ache between my legs had disappeared and my mark throbbed, as if satisfied.

He removed my legs from his waist and stood up from the bed. I flinched as I felt a cold cloth between my legs. He cleaned our mixed juices from between my legs and disappeared into the bathroom. I was falling asleep when I was lifted by strong arms. I inhaled his familiar scent and snuggled into his chest.
