I grant you permission to undress me

Sarafina left Tabitha, knowing that she had found herself a companion.

Tabitha found herself in another world. The pain that lingered in her heart remained, but she couldn't remember or feel it at the moment.

Tabitha allowed Silas to take her breath away. In a moment like this, she felt desperate—out of her mind—and her drunkenness seemed to provide some mental relief.

Reflecting on what had happened might have driven Tabitha crazy. Being drunk made her feel better because it temporarily relieved her from the pain.

Silas, on the other hand, was already carried away. Every part of his sensitive side was awakened, especially his wolf. The kiss didn't end up being just a kiss.

It evolved into a deep, passionate kiss, and even after it ended, both Silas and Tabitha needed some time to recover from the intensity.

Tabitha was aroused. Her eyes were closed as she panted against Silas's lips. His hot breath met hers, and she felt her face heat up. The shared alcohol breath only heightened her arousal.

"How do you feel, Tabitha?" Silas inquired, his forehead pressed against Tabitha's.

"I feel so good to the point I find myself wanting more," Tabitha answered, her eyes still closed.

Silas let out a low sigh.

"She's driving me crazy," Silas said to his wolf.

Kevin, however, was only feeling too excited after the kiss.

"We can't deny that we also want more. Something way beyond, something magical and extraordinary," Kevin replied.

"You are always living in your fantasies. My mate is currently broken; I can't take advantage of that."

"It's not taking advantage, Silas. It's called loving our mate. What are you planning to do? Let her drink all night without feeling us and our presence?"

"That's just not the—"

"She wants more," Kevin said when Silas couldn't complete his statement.

Silas lifted his eyes, intending to meet Tabitha's green eyes. Even with her half-closed eyes, Tabitha's gaze was still very seductive. It wasn't one she tried to make but one that was naturally attractive to those who were drawn to her.

"Kevin, damn! She's irresistible. My heart is beating fast. It feels as if I'll lose my mind if I don't have her."

"No one is stopping you, Silas, not even Tabitha, so why are you holding back?"

"It's because I don't want to hurt her like that bastard did."

"She wants it. I know that she wants you."

"That's because she's drunk," Silas said.

"I can feel it, Silas. Our mate wants us just as much as we do," Kevin replied.

Pausing the conversation between him and his wolf after this while contemplating for a while, Silas turned to look at Tabitha.

Silas studied Tabitha for a while before responding to her earlier words.

"What do you mean, Tabitha?" Silas asked.

Hearing Silas's words, Tabitha slowly drew her arms to the back of Silas and hugged him.

"I feel different. It feels as if there is still more, and I want it. I want to be happy," Tabitha replied with low, heavy breathing, still not having fully recovered from their earlier kiss.

The sound Tabitha made aroused Silas even more.

In his head, Silas could already picture the expressions and sounds Tabitha would make if they really take it forward and engage in more intimate activities.

"You want more?" Silas inquired. As he spoke, he reached out to hold Tabitha's body and slowly drew her closer.

Tabitha nodded at Silas and pushed her body into Silas's embrace, not resisting his intentions to bring her closer. Tabitha felt Silas's body was cozy. He wasn't even touching her yet, but the feel of his hand on her body sent jolts of electrifying sensations through her body.

Tabitha's body shook in slight pleasure while snuggling into Silas's embrace.

"Do you know what it means to want more, Tabitha?" Silas asked in a low, husky tone, his warm breath carrying the scent of alcohol passing through Tabitha's nose.

Drawing their bodies closer until they could feel the heat radiating off each other, Tabitha answered Silas.

"I want to know what it means," she said.

"You drive me nuts, Tabitha. I feel so helpless just because of you," Silas said with a groan.

The next moment, Silas lifted Tabitha's body after planting a kiss on her head.

"There are consequences for our actions and decisions, clueless mate. I hope you are ready to face the repercussions of wanting to be mine," Silas said to Tabitha as he led her out of the club.

"I don't care," Tabitha answered with one of her hands around Silas's neck and the other on his chest.

"Oh, you will," Silas grinned at the clueless lamb in his arms.

"You are so beautiful," Silas uttered as he felt himself increasingly overwhelmed by her appearance.

Silas mind-linked his assistant to cancel the meeting and quickly make a reservation for a room in the hotel located close to the club.

Silas wouldn't mind taking his mate to his house; however, he was slowly going mad as the seconds passed. He wanted to have Tabitha now, and delaying it any further was not something he was willing to endure.

Thankfully, they reached the hotel in a short amount of time, and Silas's assistant had already taken care of the room procedures for him. The journey to the room was smooth.

Silas's wait ended as he gently placed Tabitha on the comfy bed in the five-star hotel. The room they were in was one of the best the hotel offered, and the cost for a night was a few thousand dollars. The cost was nothing to Silas, though.

He was the second son of BlueDiamonds enterprise and would be the heir and also the Alpha soon.

With this title and position, Silas was ready to treat his mate with the luxury he had. Everything she had or got must be of great value.

"Are you feeling okay, Tabitha?" Silas asked.

Tabitha lay on her back on the bed, her hair scattered around. She felt a peculiar sensation coursing through her body as she stared at Silas, who positioned himself above her.

The sensation overwhelmed her, clouding her mind and reason. Although Tabitha appeared sleepy, she knew that she wanted much more than the kiss she had experienced with Silas earlier.

"Mister," Tabitha groaned, as if she was feeling uncomfortable.

"Tabitha, it's Silas," Silas corrected gently, placing his hand on her face and stroking her cheek.

His touch heightened the sensation coursing through Tabitha's body, and she subconsciously let out a low moan, turning her head to the side. Just his touch felt heavenly to Tabitha as she rubbed her thighs together between Silas's legs.

"Look at me," Silas ordered in a deep, firm yet gentle tone, commanding a sense of irresistible authority.

Initially lost in her feelings, Tabitha resisted at first, but hearing Silas's commanding tone, she looked at him and focused her gaze on him.

"It's Silas. Say it," Silas instructed as he stared deeply into the eyes of his mate.

Hearing his words, Tabitha smiled and lifted both her hands to hold his face.

"Si–las," she called his name out softly.

Despite the current situation, Silas was hesitant to take the first step, as he couldn't shake the thought of taking advantage of Tabitha. However, Tabitha, free of such worries, pulled her head up and softly planted a wet kiss on his cheek. Due to her position underneath Silas, she felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed.

Her actions, though, served as the final go-ahead for Silas.

Silas held Tabitha's chin and stared deeply into her eyes for a while before lowering his head to kiss her again.

Tabitha offered no resistance, giving herself entirely to Silas. At this point, she wanted him to have everything, to own her and make her feel good.

Silas took over Tabitha's mouth like a hungry wolf. He could no longer hold himself back, nor was there any need to do so.

As they continued to share a passionate kiss, their saliva entwined, and the hot breath that escaped their mouths brushed against their faces.

Silas's hand explored Tabitha's body.

With one hand above her head, Silas used his tongue to fight for dominance in Tabitha's mouth. Tabitha didn't back down, meeting his tongue attack with full force, and their tongues twirled around each other in a captivating dance.

With his other hand on one side of Tabitha's ample chest, Silas gave a gentle squeeze, earning a muffled moan from her. In return, she wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him even closer, and their chests pressed against each other.

Silas handled his mate with both care and dominance.

Taking a break from the kiss, Tabitha and Silas panted heavily, a trail of saliva forming a bridge between their lips. Their warm breath brushed over each other's faces as they stared deeply into each other's eyes.

"I'll never treat you the way your ex did, never!" Silas thought as he looked into the wanting and hungry eyes of Tabitha before initiating another kiss.

The heat radiating off their bodies increased as they took each other's breath away, not breaking the kiss.

Tabitha continued to sink into pleasure, but as the kiss continued, memories of the first time Donald laid her in bed and the image of him dumping her for his sister flashed in her mind.

Tears streamed down from Tabitha's closed eyes. Silas, sensing his mate's emotions, felt the pain flushing through Tabitha's heart and broke the kiss.

The fact that she was still hurt by her ex made Silas dissatisfied, angry, and sad. But that didn't stop him from having his mate. Silas leaned closer and whispered something in Tabitha's ear, and she responded with a yes. Silas turned his eyes to meet her green eyes.

"Will you accept me, then?" Silas asked.

With her hands around his neck, Tabitha replied with a small, seductive smile on her face.

"I grant you, Silas, the permission to undress me."

With no need for further words, Silas wasted no time and continued with the passionate night.
