❥❥❥❥❥❥

Winter had fled after the diner towards her room, she needed to clear her mind. She needed to prepare herself for the journey home. The emotions of the day had exhausted her. She kicked off her heels and let herself fall on her bed

Arsen filled her mind, his handsome smile, his soft hands, how he had touched her. How he had grabbed her close, when Charlie approached, how the words 'Mine' roared from his throat without zero hesitation.

But now that he knew she was rejected once, that she was broken, he wouldn't pursue her Winter was certain of it. He had seen the fear in her eyes when he wanted to move things further, as if rejected wasn't enough.

She was however an awful lot confused about what happened at diner. Suddenly there was a soft knock on her door which startled her. She walked towards the door and immediately that marvelous scent hit her, he was here, he was standing on the other side of the door.

"Please leave me." Winter softly whispered against the door.

"You know I can't do that." Arsen replied.

"I have nothing to offer you." She answered.

"I beg to differ." Winter was silent waying her options.

"Winter if you don't open up, I'll have to break this door down. And you know damn well that a broken door will not hold me back." He stated.

Winter opened the door a bit, catching a glimpse of the beautiful man.

"Let me in." he softly said as their eyes met.

"I am not here to hurt you, I simply want to talk." A warm smile met her eyes.

Winter hesitantly opened the door and he walked right in. She closed the door behind him and he immediately trapped her between the door and his body, caching here in with his arms. Winter slowly turned around until their eyes met.

"You know how beautiful you are?" he softly whispered.

She felt how a blush formed on her cheeks.

"Even more when you blush."

Before she could say something back his lips crashed on hers. He pushed his body hard against hers making the kiss one filled with heat and passion. With one swift movement he locked her door and scooped her in his arms, still not breaking the kiss.

Winter felt how heat filled up her core as Arsen walked over towards her bed. He softly lay her down and took place next to her. Her hands had found their way over towards his hair and she softly moaned as his tongue slipped over her lips asking for access.

His hands travelled over her back, softly stroking her back taking things slow, he wanted to let her feel comfortable before all his desires. Winter softly pulled back from the kiss and looked right in his dark blue eyes for a moment, her hand trailed along the edge of his beard and he loved every moment of it.

"I know you are scared." He softly said.

Winter closed her eyes for a moment, not wanting to ruin this moment.

"But I promise you that I won't ever reject you." He kissed her softly and her eyes opened.

She looked a bit startled at him.

"Even after you know that I was rejected in the past?" she carefully asked.

"Winter, I don't know why he did it. But he sure as hell is a moron for doing so. It only proves that he is not worthy of you. You left with your head held high, you have become this amazing alpha. I count myself lucky to be your mate." He said as he kissed her again.

"A lot happened in my past, I am not sure if I can give you everything you need. I am not sure how this will work and what we need to do with our packs." She responded.

"What are you sure off?" Arsen asked.

Winter was a bit taken aback by his question.

"You calm me down. I feel at home and safe around you. And when you kiss me" she bit her lip ashamed and a blush filled her cheeks up.

"Don't be ashamed around me." He said as he kissed her again.

"My whole body lights up like a burning fire. When you are not touching me I long for you." She softly said.

A warm and charming smile formed on his face.

"Why are you smiling?" She asked.

"Hearing you say those words makes me happy."

"I am not a good person." Winter said.

"Me neither." He answered.

"I am serious, Arsen. I watched my father die without helping him."

His fingers trailed over the edge of her face.

"Sweetheart, nothing you can say or do will make me give up on you. I want you as my mate, by my side. I am pretty sure you had a good reason for doing what you did. I have seen and heard enough stories about you to know that you protect what you hold dear at all costs. You should be worried about me, not about you." He answered.

"Why? Cause people describe the great alpha Arsen as the big bad guy?" she asked with a smirk.

His eyes were smoldering as he looked at her.

"When my name rolls from your lips it's really hard to compose myself." He answered.

The glint in his eyes sparked something inside Winter's core, he was leaning on his elbow right next to her. His eyes never left her. She softly licked her lips while she kept looking at him. In seconds his lips crashed onto hers.

The sparks and shivers ran through her body as she grabbed him closer. She felt how her core started to burn for him. How she longed for his touch, she felt how one of his hands travelled to her front and softly started to rub her breast.

"Stop me if we are going too fast." He said with a husky voice in between two kisses.

Winter moaned in his mouth as his other hand wrapped around her hair and pulled her head back a bit. He trailed kisses from her mouth all the way over to her neck, his tongue danced over her skin and she felt never more turned on. He wrapped his arms around her and pressed her close to his chest, she felt how aroused she was and how aroused he was and she smiled. Even with all her flaws she could do that to him.

They lay silently in each other's arms, simply looking at each other until Arsen spoke up.

"Can I see the scar?" he softly asked.

Winter buried her face in his chest, not sure what to expect.

"Why do you want to see it?" she responded.

"Then I can try to understand your fear a bit." He answered.

Winter was silent for a couple of seconds, he would see them eventually if they stayed together, maybe now was the right time if he run, then at least she wasn't to invested yet. She softly removed herself from his hold and placed her feet back on the ground.

She sat on the edge of the bed for a couple of seconds, gathering herself, composing herself for what was about to follow. Her back was faced towards Arsen, she needed the time to prepare herself. Showing it under a top felt different than what he asked, she felt more exposed and vulnerable.

Gently she pulled her dress over her head and closed her eyes. She placed herself on the bed, still holding her eyes closed, she didn't want to see the pity he had. It was silent for a couple of minutes.

Arsen couldn't believe what he saw, his beautiful mate was wearing black lace lingerie with fitted her perfect. She was so incredibly gorgeous, he couldn't take his eyes of her. In between her breasts and partially on top of her heart a beautiful tattoo started, it fitted her perfectly. And in that tattoo he saw a fine red line, a scar.

His fingers trailed the red scar all the way over her belly. He could feel how she tensed under his movement.

"You are perfect." He softly whispered.

And then he simply couldn't help himself, he bent over her body and his tongue danced over the scar. Winter's eyes shot open and she moaned in response, she lifted her back giving him better access and a smile formed on his lips. As he came at the end of the line he looked up in her beautiful eyes. They were filled with heath and fire, that turned him on even more.

"Don't ever be ashamed, you are fucking beautiful." He said as he pressed a kiss on her lips.

"Thank you. I like you as well." Winter whispered.

He started to move back away from her, but Winter pulled him back wrapping her hands around his neck and pulling him closer to her again. Her tongue danced over his, she was hungry and eager for his love and he was happy to receive.

A thought sprouted in Arsen's mind, it was clearly that something bad had happened to her with a man, but if he showed her that she could trust him, maybe things would change for her. He left hungry kisses over her neck and moved a bit down, his mouth took the fabric of her bralette and a bit of Winter's nipple inside. He sucked, licked and then his fingers joined a loud moan escaped her mouth.

Arsen looked up at her, her eyes were closed and her head was pushed back she was enjoying this. His fingers were still on her breasts as he kissed her again.

"Stop me whenever you need to." He whispered as he continued to move his hands.

She nodded her head, this felt so different than on the ground, he was next to her. She was free to stop him, but she didn't want to stop him at all. Electricity raged through her as his pushed the fabric of her bralette aside, his tongue was now in direct contact with her nipple. She softly moaned as his touch felt divine.

His hand trailed over her tummy all the way down. He softly brushed the front of her panties with his fingers and Winter's eyes shot open. She felt how a beautiful sensation started to form around his touch, she wanted to feel him even closer.

She opened her legs to give him a bit more access as her hands trailed through his hair. His fingers danced over the hem of her underwear until suddenly she felt how he was stroking her bear skin. He travelled lower with his hands until he was at her wet throbbing core.

His fingers brushed over her lips, a moan escaped from her mouth.

"Stop me." He softly whispered as he start kissing her again.

"I don't want you to stop." She answered.

Her fingers started to work on the buttons of his shirt as his fingers still were only brushing her front. Winter pushed his shirt back so she could be closer to his bare chest. He removed his hand from her, to remove his shirt and she whimpered a bit.

He smiled and kissed her hard. His hand was back at her wet throbbing core in an instant. She wrapped one leg around him as she pulled him closer and his thumb found her clit. A loud moan escaped her lips as he softly started to bring her to a high.

The kisses were hot and they only turned them on harder. Arsen had never been kissed this good and neither had Winter. For once he wanted to do something for the girl in his bed and not the other way around. As he deepened the kiss he slipped a finger inside Winter. Her eyes were closed and she moaned against his skin.

"Open your beautiful eyes, I want to see you come." He said husky.

He felt how bad he wanted her, but he needed to remind himself that this was for her. She needed to enjoy this, to trust him. As he moved his fingers on her core, her breathing started to speed up. She aced her back, giving him more access. He loved how wet and ready she had become for him.

He knew that they would pleasure each other for the rest of their lives. And that from this moment one he wouldn't want anybody else. Her moaning picked up and he knew she was near, he speed up the pace and kissed her hard.

And then right before she started to came he stopped kissing her, simply to look at her beautiful face. Her eyes rolled back and she contracted around his finger. She softly moaned his name as she came and he crashed his lips back onto hers. He still softly moved his fingers and held her close, against his chest.

When the orgasm had ended Winter looked in his eyes, Arsen could see that there were tears in them.

"Thank you." She softly whispered as she kissed him.

"Are you going to thank me each time I make you come?" he smirked.

"Because I plan on doing this a lot." He said as he kissed her hard.
