Chapter 14: Mildly Spicy

Natasha's POV

'I own you'

Valerian's words keep on playing and playing inside my mind like a boomerang.

Non-stop.

I slightly gasped when Valerian started tracing my collarbone with his fingers.

I hate that the shivers he is giving me with his touch feel good in some way.

It feels so good that I want to slap myself for feeling this way.

"Valerian--" I gasped when he suddenly replaced his fingers with his lips.

I can feel his hot breath on my skin as he planted soft and most kisses all over my collarbone.

Shit.

I could just throw my head back as I feel the sensation of what he is doing to me.

"U-ugh--" I gripped the bedsheets when Valerian softly suck the skin in my collarbone.

"You like that, huh?" he whispered.

I want to deny it. I want to tell him that I don't like it and I despise him but my body is just betraying me right now.

These feelings-- sensations are all foreign to me and I didn't know that they feel so good.

So fucking good.

"You like it, Natasha?" Valerian repeated.

I listened to the way he says it to see if he was mocking me but he was not. It's more like, he also feels pleasure by giving me pleasure.

Shit shit shit.

I don't know what happened and how we ended up here in this situation but I don't care. For now. I just want this.

Valerian started kissing, licking, and sucking my collarbone and neck and I feel like I'm going crazy.

I bit my lower lips to stop myself from moaning because if I visibly show Valerian that I like what he was doing because I know he will surely use it against me, and I wouldn't let that happen.

"Oh, Natasha." He breathed. "Let me show you what you got yourself into."

I just love how the feeling of his breath that touches my skin gives me an unexplainable feeling.

I don't know exactly what is it but it's good.

"I own you," he whispered, his tone was hard and firm. "You are mine. Mine to punish when you disobey me."

I could hardly understand what Valerian is saying because my mind is focused on the pleasure he was giving me.

Gosh, I couldn't even formulate a single word to say.

Valerian held the hem of my shirt and I waited for him to do the next thing.

Our eyes met.

I saw how his eyes darkened and his jaw clenched as he looked at me.

"And you're mine to fuck."

I felt a tingle sensation in between my legs upon hearing what he just said.

All of a sudden, it was clear to me. What he said is crystal clear to me.

Fuck.

I know this is wrong and I shouldn't fall for this kind of trick but I don't understand what is happening to me. It's like he hexed me and got full control of my mind at this moment.

I thought Valerian would completely take my shirt off but he didn't.

To my disappointment, he fixed my shirt and covered my exposed upper chest and collarbone.

He then let go of me and stood up.

"Get up," he ordered.

I creased my forehead in confusion as I looked at him.

What the fuck just happened?

"Elyse is here," he added.

"What?" I asked as confusion grew wider on my face.

And as if on cue, I heard Elyse's voice calling Valerian's name.

Shit.

I quickly fixed myself completely and stood up from Valerian's bed when I heard footsteps approaching.

I wanted to leave the room but it was too late.

The door opened revealing Elyse.

She looked at Valerian and then me.

Shit. She just caught me being inside Valerian's room.

I just stood there awkwardly trying to avoid Elyse's stares.

"What are you doing here?" I heard Valerian ask.

"Wait, did I interrupt something?" Elyse asked and I could hear tease in her voice as her gaze transferred from Valerian to me and then back to Valerian and then me.

"No!" I quickly denied which is a wrong move because that just made me look guilty.

Elyse laughed as she looked at me unbelievably. "Girl, you're so flushed!"

I felt my cheeks heat up.

Damn it.

I don't know if I should be thankful for Valerian's enhanced sense of hearing because he knew Elyse was coming before she could have seen us in a more awkward position.

I wonder what would happen if Elyse didn't come here.

"Excuse me," I quickly excused myself as I walked toward the door.

"Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's normal, you two are mates," Elyse said before I could completely pass by her direction.

I just looked at her and continued walking directly to my room.

I heaved a deep breath of relief as soon as I closed the door.

"What the fuck." I massaged my temple as I sat on the bed.

Now that I'm alone, it's like, what happened in Valerian's bedroom just sank into me.

"What was that?" I whispered to myself.

He is drunk, he wouldn't remember any of this happened.

Whatever was that-- that we did, it only happened because he was drunk and he got out of control. That was just it.

I repeatedly told myself that while crossing my fingers.

"Ugh!" I groaned when images of Valerian being on top of me started flashing inside my mind.

Curse him.

A sudden knock on the door disturbed my invisible fight with myself.

I sat up straight on my bed.

"Come in," I said as I held my breath hoping it was not Valerian because I don't know how to face him after what just happened.

The door opened and I heaved a breath of relief when I saw that it was Elyse.

"What are you doing today?" she asked.

I creased my forehead at her.

Why is she asking?

"Um, nothing," I answered.

"Let's go shopping," she said.

I automatically looked at the window. The sun already set up high and it's crazy how I didn't even notice because my mind was too preoccupied with what happened earlier.

"Shopping?"

"Yeah, come on." She looked at me from head to toe. "You surely need some things," she whispered to herself but I was able to hear it.

Before I could even say anything, Elyse walked toward me and grabbed my wrist causing me to stand up.

"I already told Valerian we're going out," she said as she dragged me.

But, before we could even go out of my room, I halted.

Elyse looked at me. "What?"

I just remained silent as I sucked on my lower lip.

She suddenly chuckled as she looked at me. "Are you still embarrassed about what happened earlier? Oh, don't be! I told you, it's normal. I know you and my brother are mates."

Darn it.

I was just worried to see Valerian if I got out of the room, why did she have to remind me of that incident?

Ugh!

Elyse dragged me again and I just let her.

I was more than thankful that I didn't see Valerian on our way out of the house.

He must be in his room.

"Hop on," Elyse said the moment we were in front of her car.

She was about to let go of my wrist but her hand touched my palm.

"What happened?" I asked when she quickly pulled her hand away from me like she just got electrified by my touch.

She swallowed hard. "I think I just saw something."

Elyse can see the truth by holding someone's hand. That's her special ability.

"What is it?" I questioned as I tilted my head and focused my full attention on her.

"It wasn't clear. But, forget it, it was probably nothing." She shrugged her shoulders as she walked toward the driver's seat before I could even say anything.

I'm still confused but I just followed her and entered inside the shotgun seat.

"So, there is this really pretty mall, let's go there," Elyse said as she started her car and drove off.

As I sat beside her in her car and she drives, I can't help but think about what happened.

She said she saw something, right when she touched my hand.

She also said it wasn't clear but I can't help but think about what is it.

It must be something.

She must have seen something. A truth. Anything-- when she held me.

I need to know that.

"Hey--"

"Hey, it's nice to see you're getting along with my brother," she said cutting me off.

I mentally laughed.

Getting along with her brother?

Hell no.

"I don't know much about you two and how you guys met and became mates when you're a werewolf and not a vampire but I think you two look great together," she added.

"How did you know I was a werewolf?" I questioned.

"Well, considering how good you are at fighting and you were so strong you almost killed me, Valerian told me," she answered.

Yeah, I can't believe I'm sitting here and talking to her when we almost killed each other.

"He also told me that--" Elyse trailed off.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. This has never happened before-- werewolf and a vampire, but I'm looking forward to it. Are my nieces and nephews going to be a vampire or a werewolf? I'm so excited." Elyse giggled.

I sucked on my lower lip as I tried to ignore what she just said.

"What were you going to say?" I asked.

Elyse glanced at me as she grinned. "He told me that you are so in love with him and that was the reason why you guys are mates even though you're not the same kind."

I am so going to kill you, Valerian Fenrir.
