Chapter XXXVI

The scent of Atlas was strong when we made it to the long hallway of offices in the pack house. Between each door was a portrait of previous Alphas and their Lunas. I scanned them with a smile until I realized that Leo's and Atlas' mother was missing.

"Dad had it removed when she died. He still can't look at her picture without losing it. Atlas makes sure no one has any of them lying around." Artemis said as she notices my questioning eyes.

I try not to frown or let my emotions flood the bond, "Oh," I whisper the reply. I guess I had not noticed I have never seen a picture of their mother.

Ellie clears her throat a few doors ahead of us and places her hand on the doorknob. "Right this way, Alpha Female."

I snicker a laugh at her and hook my arm with Artemis'. "Of course, Beta Elianna." I wink and stop in front of the door. My mate bond vibrated with Atlas' strong presence alerting me that he was near.

He must be in the room opposite from the one we are standing at.

"Rub it in my face that I am just Artemis." Artemis rolls her eyes playfully before unlocking the door. "Everly, welcome to your personal office."

"My personal what?" I question as she swings the large oak door open. "Holy shit-" the words are caught in my throat as I stare at the space. The room was warm with ivory walls and matching colored tile floors with giant windows on the outside wall. It already held decorations but not just any. Decorations from my music room at home.

My feet carry me to the piano near the windows. My cream-colored grand piano stands there beautifully like it was made to be in this room.

My fingers lift the key cover instantly and I find myself stroking the still brand-new keys. "How?" I ask still staring down at my most prized possession.

"Fin was sent by Alpha Atlas to fetch it and Josh. They rode here together." Ellie says walking over to me with Artemis.

"I didn't know you liked music." Artemis looks around the piano and sits on the bench like she owns it. "It's pretty."

Ellie looks at Artemis like she's nuts, "has no one told you how they met?"

Artemis looks between the two of us confused. "They met at the Gala and danced all night."

"You two seriously skipped over the best part of the story?" Ellie shakes her head at me and leans on the instrument. "Yes, they did that but that is not how they met."

She leaves a cliff hanger expecting me to finish but it makes me cringe to even think about bragging on my opportunity to perform at the Gala.

Artemis scoffs and nudges Ellie. "Finish, I am intrigued now."

"Everly preformed the last song of the night and that's how Alpha found her." Ellie says with an irritated glance my way for not saying anything.

"What?!" Artemis turns to me sharply. "You can sing and did not tell me?"

"To my defense everyone can sing, and you never asked." I say sarcastically.

She drops her jaw at me and crosses her arms. "Okay, Miss Smarty-Pants." She pulls her sweater sleeves over her hands and rolls her eyes at me, "Play something, or I will shun you."

Ellie giggles at my crazy sister-in-law while I huff at her playfully. Artemis is like Atlas in more ways than one. They share many characteristics that is going to be the end of me. They are Ox's. Stubborn and unmoving. Unmoving like Artemis stance as she stares at me, waiting to hear me belt out some lyrics.

"Oh, I am a gummy bear. Oh yes, a gummy bear." I sprout off with a smile.

"Everly Vanessa Ford future Lycurgus!" Artemis shouts at me slightly irritated but also slightly amused. "Sing before I-" she stops and thinks for a moment. "Before I go break every frappuccino machine in this pack!"

A harsh gasp leaves my lips as my head snaps to her. "You monster!"

"Do not test me, I am known to be the meanest Lycurgus," she says making Ellie and I burst with laughter. Artemis is not necessarily the nicest she-wolf but if I took a poll on that subject, I am positive Atlas would win that title by a mile.

Ellie moves from the bench and points to the keys, "play the girl a song so she shuts up."

I sniffle another laugh and let my fingers guide themselves around the ivory. To make this less awkward I try to play a song that we all three know. Set Fire To The Rain by Adele played through the piano as I cleared my throat to sing.

As I start Ellie and Artemis dance around my office together. I wanted to crack a laugh at them, but it had been too long since I lost myself in a song. This did not make me sad like I expected it to, instead I swelled with realization how perfect Atlas is that I did not need music anymore to feel like myself. He completed me.

I still soared at the feeling of my voice echoing the walls, but I soared more knowing this voice is going to sing Atlas' and my children to sleep. I still felt pride that I could sing like this, but I felt more proud to be this pack's future Alpha Female. I still felt myself slipping into my personal heaven, but I slipped further into it as moments between my mate and I broadcasted like a music video behind my eyes.

As I sang the chorus, I wished for nothing more than him to walk out of his office and into mine. I missed him and I wanted him to share this moment with us.

Like he heard my silent prayers, Atlas swung his door open with a confused Hudson behind him. Atlas wasted no time to come into our private concert. Artemis squealed and jumped herself into her mate's arms. Atlas groaned but did not stop his footsteps until he was sitting right next to me on the bench. Ellie shrugged and continued her dancing around the room with an invisible partner.

Artemis and Hudson swayed back and forth in a small attempt on dancing, Atlas should give that kid some lessons. Speaking of Atlas.

I look over at him as the lyrics are still pouring from my lips. He is already staring at me like he did last night when he told me he loves me. Something shook inside of me, but I tried to ignore it for the sake of my performance and panties. I wanted to relive it all over again.

A rumble beside me alerted me that I was doing a terrible job at concealing the fluttering in my stomach. His hand slid itself on my thigh and I nearly squeaked the words I was pouring my sound into.

Atlas' gruff voice invaded my head.

I felt the honey like substance flood between my legs, I knew he knew what his words had just done to me by the way his nostrils flared, welcoming the scent of the desire I felt for him.

He spoke my name in a deep whisper, I felt his fingers slide higher up my thigh making my opening become a waterspout.

I sung a bit off key at this, and he visibly smirked at my mishap. He was getting to me and there was no denying it. Artemis, Hudson and Ellie did not seem to notice anything going on as Hudson spun them both around.

goose bumps broke all over me at the nickname. Helix called me that, but this was not Helix. This was all Atlas. A more consuming, possessive, and demanding version of Atlas.

His hand dances on the outside of my underwear softly causing me to whimper out loud. Luckily, it is an emotional driven song so once again it goes unnoticed. I am at the end; I can do this.

Two words.

Two words is what nearly broke me. Two words made my hands on the keys and voice stop immediately. Two words made my nipples so unbelievably hard that I could come undone just by his eyes looking upon them.

Atlas' hand stopped as well and pulled itself away from the burning lava of my core.

"Everly?" Artemis says breaking the silence.

My eyes do not go to her, instead I look over at Atlas. I did not know what to do, or how to handle the feelings that I am feeling.

"Get out," Atlas spoke to them in a husky version of his voice but made no attempts to move his eyes from mine.

Artemis scoffed and crossed her arms across her chest. She was going to challenge him, I could feel her attitude sparking.

His eyes swirled with so many different things, but all involved with lust and love for me.

"This is Everly's offi-" She starts but never finishes because of the death glare she recieves from her brother. I could feel Helix lurking behind those eyes and so did everyone else because they did exactly as they were told.

When the door shut, the pools of hazel and gold landed on me again. "I did not mean to make you uncomfortable."

Uncomfortable? He thought I was uncomfortable?

I open my mouth to say anything but suddenly, I don't have voice right away.

"I know how you are all about women's rights and men not treating women like property. I do not know what came over me. I would never- Goddess." He runs his hands through his hair, "You just bring out something in me, I don't know. It is like a fire pushing me to do..." he looks away with a tick of a smile "so many things to you."

After a moment of Celeste stirring and helping my mind come back together, I am able to say something. "I was not and am not uncomfortable."

Atlas raises a brow and tilts his head for clarity so I give it to him in the rawest sentences so there is no confusion. "I stopped because I nearly came undone. You are right, I do fight for those things but from what I am discovering just from last night and today, I like it when you shine some light on that version of you."

His jaw was tight, and I could see the approval swamp his face. "Do you promise to stop me if I ever get too much for you?"

"of course." I say feeling my body going back to that place of bliss now that he is reassured.

His face comes close to mine but instead of kissing me, he keeps traveling until his lips are on my earlobe. "Good girl." he praises me and bites the sensitive skin.

A moan involuntarily leaves me and he chuckles darkly.

Atlas then stands to his full height revealing the bulge in his pants. "Come here, my love."

The environment around us grew intense and sensual by his demeanor change and oh goddess was I excited about it.

I stand and come closer like he directs me to. His eyes watch me like I am going to bolt at any second and that nearly makes me giggle. Instead, I squeal when his hands grasp my bum and set me on the piano.

Positioning himself between my legs, he pushes my hair over my shoulders exposing them. I did not have much time to think after that as he places his mouth over my healed mark. I cry out in pleasure and buck my hips towards him.

He groans out a satisfied sound and his hands hike up the end of my dress until it is exposing the bottom half of me. The sensation of his lips on my skin leaves and he pulls away until he is face to face with me. Without looking away, he presses a button on a remote in the piano and the windows are covered with curtains.

I am slightly distracted but the warmth of his hands places themselves on both sides of my neck bringing me back to him.

"Are you sure that you want to do this here?" He asks with clear arousal thick in his voice.

I do not answer with my words, instead my hand slides down his chest and to the stone like member behind his zipper.

While softly rubbing from the outside, my other hand works on his button and zipper. His breathing picks up and his jaw ticks while he tightens his grip on my neck. The constriction surprisingly made me leak more.

My palm finds its way into his pants and boxers with ease. I came into contact with a wetness that was spotting his boxers but I did not pay attention to that detail for long. Eventually, his long shaft is in my grasp making him buck his hips just like I had earlier.

A moan like sound exits him as his head shoots back with bliss as I start to pump my fist, "Oh, Goddess."

"She isn't the one doing this to you." I say before I even processed the sentence myself. My cheeks flare at the words. I could not believe I just said that.

He slowly looks back to me with his eyes completely drowned with feral lust now. "Hand out of my pants, now."

I gulp audibly at his blank face as I pull my hand from him. I felt like I did when meeting Helix for the first time, completely at his mercy.

He did not say anything as he moved from my legs, closing them. I had thought I did something wrong until he grabbed my underwear and ripped them from me. Atlas then pushed my knees apart again, but this time one hand pushed me backwards, so I am laying back on the piano.

I twitched uncomfortably as his eyes roamed my completely bare lower half that is spread open just for him. I feel him push the dress up until its pooling just under my breasts. "Tell me when you are close."

I nod my head to answer him and wait for what he is about to do to me. I crave his mouth again but, Goddess, what about his gorilla hands?

Pleasure shoots through me as he gives me both. The tip of his tongue flicks across my clit delicately and a single finger slips across my slit teasing my entrance.

"Atlas," I call at him as he begins to suck on my sensitive nub.

He pulls his mouth away and looks down at me. I was about to protest until his finger pushes itself inside me. "That's my girl," he licks his lips as the knot forms in me again like last night. It isn't fully developed just yet and I started craving more.

"Do you want another finger, baby?"

I nod faster than I should have and he chuckles, "Oh no, my love, you have to tell me."

I bite back a whimper and try to form a coherent sentence with him still pumping a finger in me, "I want another f-finger."

"That's it," he smirks and plunges another inside. I cry out as he starts making a motion with them that makes another sensation form. "You are being so good. I think I am going to treat you, but only if you promise to tell me when you are about to come."

Once again, I nod, because his fingers pick up their pace.

"Use your words or I will completely stop, baby."

"I promise!" I yell out and let my pride shatter for this man.

He laughs and places the pads of his index and pointer finger of his other hand on my clit. Without warning, he starts to rub it making the noise of wetness more apparent. "You are so soaked for me, little wolf. Goddess, what am I going to do with you?"

I make a noise that is between a sob and a yelp as the pressure in my stomach becomes too much. "A-Atlas, I- I think I am going to come!"

At this he pulls away leaving me empty. I gasp and sit up immediately with so many feelings rushing me.

His rough hands grab me and put me on my feet. I wanted to scream and cry for him to not stop now, but I do not get to because he turns me towards the piano and bends me over. I feel the cool air hit my ass when he moves my dress again. I hear a packet open and him drop his pants behind me. "You have been so fucking good, so I am going to fuck you good."

I had no idea that his mouth could be so filthy considering how he talked outside of sex but I had a feeling this was just the surface of the Sex God known as Atlas Lycurgus. It made me wonder how much porn did this man watch?

A throbbing and thick pressure entering me made the thought fly away. I buried my face into my hair and tried my best not to scream.

He took long and slow strokes inside of me, hitting that secret button as he did. "Oh no, sweetheart, I am going to watch you as I take you."

What?

"How?" I managed to get out as he rocked into me at a steady pace.

I heard him laugh huskily and a pain came my scalp as he lifted my head up by my hair. I opened my eyes to see the reflection of him behind me, shirt unbutton, hair a mess, and face full of undying pleasure.

The sight did something to me.

"Thats is a good girl, sweetheart. Keep your eyes on me." He did not let go of my hair as his other hand gripped my hip. His face made a grimace as he began to slam into me making my cheeks slap into him. I bit my lip as the feeling came back full force. I would not be able to hang on for long, especially watching his veins protrude and his mouth open with dark grunts.

"Fuck." He whispered locking eyes with me in the reflection. "Fuck it!" A growl left him and he let go of my hair and found its way around my throat again, pulling my back to his chest.

Hot air came from his mouth, and it fanned in my hair as he whimpered. "I am close baby. I know you are too."

I nod at his statement for conformation.

"You are going to come with me. In 5,"

He is counting down and who knew numbers could be so sexy?

"4" he grunts finding my clit with his other hand rubbing it with no mercy.

"3, oh fuck," his thrust become sloppy and I cry out with my climax building.

He lets go of my throat and pinches one of my nipples through my dress. "2, hold on baby. I am going to make it worth it."

I whine and rub myself against his hand going crazy on my bud.

"1." He practically lifts me off the ground as he thrusts into me like a hungry man who hasn't had a taste in years. "Now, baby! Come all over me!"

I scream out, as the weight of my orgasm slices through me. I can't breathe, I can't remember my name, all I know is that this man is perfect. I hear him groan out loudly which just pushes me further into my downfall.

As the feeling wears away, Atlas allows me to stand flat footed again as he finishes a few last movements. I can tell from his reflection that he is covered in sweat. He had not pulled out yet when I notice a water like substance rolling down my legs, what if I peed?

Mortified, I pull away from him and turn to him with wobblily legs.

"What's wrong?" Atlas takes off his condom and discards it un the trash can before pulling up his clothes.

"Um," I look down at my drench legs and want to drown all again when I notice a small puddle.

Atlas is clearly confused until he sees what I am looking at, "Oh," he laughs and fixes my dress for me. "It is normal, sweetheart. You did it last night too."

I gasp and my eyes widen, "I peed on you last night?"

He blinks at me like I am crazy and shakes his head, "It isn't pee, Squirtle."
