Our Other Mate: Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Merrick's POV

I hate wine, like really hate wine. I always wake up with a headache when I drink wine. I sit up off the couch and look around to see that I am alone.

"Ella?....Phillip? Hello?" and no one replied. I went to Ella's room to find her asleep. She had undressed and was in nothing but a t-shirt and some shorts her hair undone from the bandana. God, she was beautiful. I closed the door gently and walked down the hall to Phillips's room. His eyes lit up as soon as I opened the door.

"Hey Rick, did you have a good nap?" he asked. I nod and sit next to him on his bed.

"Is she ok? I know she was not feeling great before I passed out", I asked.

"Well she did throw up, but I took care of that and she is resting now. No more wine for her", he chuckled. "I don't think we will go out tonight so we should have some food delivered, do you think you can take care of that?", I know after a day of drinking so food would be helpful in our recovery.

"Of course, I will make the necessary arrangements." He grabs his phone and begins to order some local cuisine. When he finishes he looks over at me and without saying anything I knew what he was going to ask. " I know, I will do the deed while we are here", I tell him a bit worried.

"You know the court will want to make sure you have consummated the marriage. With it being a royal match it's vital that you deflower her as soon as possible, otherwise you know the court can overthrow your marriage."

His eyes are sad as he reminds me of my duty. "Maybe I rushed this, I mean she is beautiful and kind. I am just sure that I am ready to move to that next step. We are inexperienced and what if I am not good at mating?", I feel my palms get sweaty and my leg start to shake.

Alliyah and I came close to mating but for royals to have premarital sex was unheard of, true mate or not. I rub my hand on the back of my head trying to find a good way to ask what I was thinking,

"Could you show me what to do?" He starts to laugh and soon he is fully rolling on the floor laughing his ass off. "This isn't funny Phillip! I know the basics but like how do I start?" I ask, but I am already annoyed at him. When the laughter finally subsides he wipes away the tears, "Never in a million years would I have thought that you of all people would ask me that." little chuckles leave him as he continues, " It's not something I can explain, you just have to gauge the situation and her reactions.

Phillip gets up and walks across his room and pours himself a drink, then he turns to me, "I'm not sure it's the same for lycans as it is for wolfs, but for me, it starts with the smell. Each supernatural creates its own smell when they are aroused. It's intoxicating and drives you crazy." I close my eyes and can remember Alliyah's scent filling my room, it drove me crazy. Phillip pours me a drink and sits back on the bed with me and continues. "

Most women like to be caressed and kissed, foreplay is a big deal. From there just gauge how it is going and the rest is natural", he smiles and finishes his glass. I lay back on his bed and we talk for half an hour before we finally hear a know at his door. Phillip opens the door and in front of him is Ella, looking like a raccoon. She must have forgotten to remove her makeup before falling asleep last night I thought to myself. She looked so cute wrapped in a blanket as shuffled into the room and took a seat across from the bed. Still groggy she rubbed her eyes, "What time is it? weren't we supposed to go somewhere?"

Looking through the beautiful stained glass windows that decorated the room we could all see the sun rising over the Mediterranean, it was breathing taking.

"Let's get ready to go explore and get some food," Phillip announced as he escorted Ella and me out of his room and to our own suites. When I was alone, I looked into my closet to find some clothes still thinking about the duty I was to perform with my new bride. I really wanted to use this opportunity to get to know her before we mated so I had to do my best. After donning a Versace v-cut shirt and some board shots I was ready to meet back up with everyone. When I came into the sitting room I find Phillip already ready and that's when it hits me, he smells really good.
