Nothing else mattered except her desire for her mate. It'd been so long since they'd made love and even though he'd barely touched her Cari was so close. They didn't always have bondage sex but Cari found herself craving it more, something she'd never suspected of herself.

He parted her legs further until she was even more exposed. She bit her lip in anticipation and then felt a caressing touch down both her legs like the warm wind was flowing against their lengths. It was streamlined as if it were a pair of silken ropes gliding against her. Ropes that looped around her legs and the legs of the chaise she lay on.

Another gust of silken wind swept over her body, an erotic stroke that glided over every inch of her skin. Cari moaned, her hips shifting up in a bid to get some relief for the burning ache that assailed her. It was an offering of herself to her lover, a supplication that needed no words. Andre walked to her right side and took that hand down until it was against the legs in the middle of the chaise. Another loop of wind held her hand down before he did the same to her left hand.

The warm caress of the wind was still swirling over her body, touching every bit of her and driving any thought away from her. She was quivering with her impending orgasm her body heated to that sweet point of no return. The warmth of the wind immediately stopped and she felt the sensation of cold water washing over her.

Although the sudden cold drove her impending orgasm away, it seemed to drive her libido higher, stir the ache deep inside her even more. Her eyes flew open when she hadn't even realised she'd had them closed. They sought and found his amber gaze, desperation in their depths. Her mate's eyes were stern, dominant which caused a thrill down her spine that added to her ache.

Sometimes Cari forgot that Andre was a prince, but right then he looked the part. Even without a suit, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, he had that clean put-together air about him. His wide shoulders were imposing, back straight as he looked down at her with a touch of regal haughtiness. A detached look on his face that only the fire in his eyes belied.

"You will only come when I give you permission." he declared in a hard tone.

A dark thrill caught her in its grasp and she bit her lower lip as a whimper escaped her. Her body clenched with her need. "Andre," she moaned. He circled her, his hands fluttering over her skin in a way that left her wanting more. "Please," she begged.

A finger graced lightly over her nipple and she arched her back as a sharp cry as fire blazed over it, as if it'd been lit on fire. It was exquisite pain and when he touched the other and iced it over she thrashed at the contrasting sensations. It didn't last long but she was left sobbing at the intensity of pleasure that had laved over her. Still, her orgasm seemed to be just out of her reach.

"That's It." He stated. "Let's find all your limits."

Cari had already reached her limit, she couldn't take any more. Andre though wasn't done with her. His hands caressed her, trailing over to her core. Another scream escaped her as he thrust into her. She expected him to tease her, to gently part her core before thrusting into her. This was intense and brought her closer to that sweet edge.

"Andre!" she screamed.

"You don't have permission to come yet," he stated in that commanding tone.

She wanted to cum, needed to but her mind's need to heed his command overrode her body's needs. She was so close it was almost painful and yet she needed to please him, to do as he commanded. His fingers were relentless, caressing deep inside her.

"Andre! Oh moon, Andre!"

"Not yet."

Her toes were curled, her fists clenched as her body rebelled under the strain. It was too much, more so when she felt his cock part her willing body and enter her. She was aware of the sound of her voice filling the room, aware that she was shouting but had no idea what she was saying.

Why couldn't she cum? Was it because Andre was a prince and he'd ordered her not to? Or was she so submissive that her mind forced her to comply? That overwhelming power she was starting to know very well overflowed her as he thrust into her. Building to unimaginable heights just as her orgasm was.

It was as if she was no longer a being of flesh but something else, something her mind was too small to comprehend. She felt untethered, her bond to Andre the only thing keeping her sane. She felt his presence in whatever state or realm they were in, a being of so much power it was impossible to contain.

"Now!" he commanded. "Cum for me now!"

Helpless to do anything else she did. Her body tumbled over that edge with such intensity it felt like it was being shattered. She felt his roar as he came with her, felt his power and wolf reach for hers. Cari saw stars behind her closed eyes. She'd always scoffed at the idea but now there she was, watching countless stars passing by her and swirling as she seemed to traverse endless worlds at the same time.

She understood their balance, felt it to her core and knew that she really was seeing something more than experiencing the best orgasm Andre had ever given her. It was as if her mind had been opened in some way. And even in this weird state, she felt him, connected even more than ever to her.

Finally, she seemed to come back to herself. Her eyes fluttered open and she could see afterimages of powerful energy in the room. What she felt was even more, a suffocating amount of it. Andre's weight was on top of her, though even then he kept most of it off her body. As weak as she felt, Cari lifted her arms and wrapped them around him to draw him closer. She needed it.

"What are we?" she whispered as the aftershocks of pleasure continued to assault her senses.

"You're Carissa Argyros-Castellanos, princess of the wolf nation and I'm Fredrico Andreas Salvatore Argyros-Castellanos, prince of our nation."

Even though Cari disagreed with that simple explanation, she felt herself losing her consciousness and gave in.

When she woke up Cari knew what she had to do. It shamed her that she'd put it off for so long. It'd been four days since she'd left her uncle's pack even though it felt like it'd been longer given all that had happened. She turned to look at her mate sleeping peacefully beside her and smiled.

At some point, he'd carried her to the bed and he had his hand around her waist and his leg pinning her to the bed. As if even in sleep he had to guard her. Cari wanted to bask in the comfort of his hold but now that she'd made up her mind she didn't want to give herself more time to chicken out.

As she shifted away from him, his hand instinctively tightened against her, pulling her closer. He'd looked so peaceful in his sleep, calm and almost cute but his eyes snapped open and held a laser focus as they met hers. He was the predator she'd only ever guessed him to be, ruthless, powerful and willing to rend anything in his way.

Cari knew she should be afraid, especially as his commanding aura dominated the room. She was sure anyone in their wing would be feeling the demand to submit that he was issuing. Her heart melted as she understood what was going on in his mind. She'd been so focused on herself that she'd ignored what all this was doing to him.

Lying back down she placed her forehead against his, her gaze glued to his fierce restless one. His body was tense as if he was waiting for something to come out of the shadows and attack. Trying to project calm, she kept her eyes locked on his sensing that his wolf was more in control than his human side.

Contrary to what humans believed and wrote about, werewolf eyes didn't change colour when the wolven personality took over, even when they shifted they had the same eye colour. She didn't say anything, knowing her scent alone would soothe the alpha wolf, that seeing her safe and relaxed would calm him.

A harsh growl escaped him and he flipped them until she was lying on her back and he was pinning her to the bed with his hands holding hers down. "Where were you going?" He demanded.

Any other person would've been cowering at the alpha tone he used but he was her mate and the one thing she knew was that she was the safest person in the world when it came to him. She smiled up at him. "I was just going to get a shower. Would you like one with me or do you intend to keep me prisoner?" she teased.

"You were leaving me," he growled.

Cari wanted to laugh, a delighted laugh but given how volatile her mate was being she refrained. Though she thought her wolf would've been the better of the two to deal with the alpha, she was still labouring under the strain of whatever magic had overtaken them recently. Cari could see her curled up and fast asleep, leaving her to deal with the overwhelmed alpha wolf.

"I will never leave you, my alpha prince," she stated softly. "No matter what."

It broke her heart that he looked so unsure, not of her she knew, but that the world would conspire to take her away from him. Calling her family would have to wait, she had an alpha to reassure.
