Chapter 119: Tell me who you belong to

Alyssa stood frozen, convinced her ears were playing tricks on her.

"What... what did you say?" she whispered.

"I love you," Dorian repeated, firmly this time. "I love you so intensely that I would do anything you ask of me, that I would bend my own rules just to appease you. I think I fell for you that night in Iridian. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize it."

Alyssa was left entirely speechless. She searched his eyes, but all she found was a raw, burning honesty mirroring the confession he had just laid at her feet.

"But," she murmured. "Sage and Morgana told me that I would never have your heart."

Dorian’s brow furrowed, his expression darkening instantly. "They said that?"

Alyssa nodded. "They said a Lycan only gives his heart once in a lifetime to his true mate. They said you would never love me the way you loved Elvira."

Dorian let out a deep sigh. He never expected his aunts to drag the ghost of his deceased mate into conversations with Alyssa.

"They were wrong about one thing," he said finally, his expression softening. "I am no ordinary Lycan, remember? The demon blood makes me different."

"But were they right about Elvira?" Alyssa pressed on. She needed to know the truth.

"They were wrong," Dorian stated firmly. "Elvira’s death broke me. I won’t lie to you about that. For years, I refused to touch another woman. Even after Samantha was chosen for a marriage alliance, I forbade her from stepping foot here."

Alyssa listened with rapt attention. This was the very first time he had ever opened up about Elvira’s death.

"I was a complete wreck," he continued. "I had recurring nightmares every night. Nina prescribed medications for me, and while they dulled the edge for a while, the trauma never truly left me. I believed my life was over."

He reached out, his long fingers trailing through the soft curls cascading down the side of her face.

"Then I saw you that night in Iridian. For the very first time since Elvira died, my heart stirred. I was desperate to know who you were, and why I felt so drawn to you."

"That’s why you searched for me after I left," Alyssa whispered softly.

He nodded. "I thought falling for you would be unfair to Elvira’s memory, so I lied to myself. I held back my feelings, running from them, even when the truth was staring me right in the face. But I am done running."

His arm tightened around her waist. "I love you, Alyssa. My heart belongs to you. It has always been yours."

Tears trailed down her cheeks as a soft, breathless laugh escaped her. "I thought you would never return my feelings. When I confessed that I loved you back in Ashgard, and in the hospital, my heart bled when you remained silent."

"I was a fool," Dorian murmured. "Will you forgive this foolish man and give him a second chance?"

"Yes!" Alyssa laughed through her tears. "Oh, Dorian, you have no idea how happy I am. You complete me."

Dorian’s smile widened. "And you complete me."

Closing the space between them, his mouth crashed down onto hers. His fingers slid into her hair and tangled, angling her head as he consumed her lips in a deep, possessive kiss.

The spark instantly ignited into an unyielding blaze. Alyssa let out a soft moan against his mouth, her spine arching deeply into his chest. Her hands slid down from his neck, her fingers clutching frantically at the buttons of his shirt, desperate to feel his skin against her palms.

Dorian pulled his shirt off in one swift motion, the taut muscles of his arms flexing. Without breaking the kiss, he hooked his hands beneath her thighs, hoisting her up off her feet. He turned and set her down on the edge of the desk.

His fingers worked frantically over the delicate buttons down the front of her gown. He managed to unbutton them without tearing it, shoving the dress down to her waist before reaching behind her back to unhook her bra.

A deep groan tore from his throat at the sight of her breasts, pink nipples puckered into hard, aching peaks in the cool air of the study.

"Touch me," Alyssa panted. She brought his hands to her chest, desperate for the heat of his touch.

Dorian lowered his head, his mouth closing hungrily over one pebbled nipple, while his broad palm cupped and squeezed her other breast.

Alyssa’s head fell back limply, her lips parting on a breathless gasp. When he flicked his tongue over the peak and sucked hard, stars exploded behind her eyelids. Her fingers tangled in his hair, tugging him closer, demanding more of his mouth.

"Dorian..." she gasped breathlessly. "I want you... right now."

Dorian dragged his mouth to her other breast, worshipping her skin with punishing licks and heavy suctions until she was a writhing, moaning mess beneath him.

He lifted his head, his gaze locking onto her before his lips found hers once more. The kiss turned wild, filthy, and entirely uncontrolled. His hands slid down the slender curve of her ribcage, tracing the dip of her waist down to her hips, his fingers digging into her skin.

"Lift your hips for me, my love," he rasped in a husky growl against her mouth.

Alyssa pushed herself up off the desk, bracing her weight on her palms. Dorian stripped the dress down her legs and tossed it onto the floor.

His hand swept over her inner thighs to reach her panties. It was completely soaked with her juices. He tugged it aside and pushed one finger into her warm, wet heat.

"Fuck," he growled thickly. "You’re so wet."

He hooked his fingers into the waistband and ripped the silk panties clean off her body. Then he brought it straight to his face, taking a deep inhale of her scent.

Alyssa watched him through heavy-lidded eyes, completely entranced. His irises had bled into black coals, his handsome features twisted in an expression of unhinged obsession.

"You are so damn gorgeous," he whispered, tossing the torn silk onto the desk behind her. He leaned in and captured her lips once more, his hands sliding under her knees to part her thighs wide.

Alyssa tangled her fingers in his hair, pushing his head down, begging for that particular pleasure only his lips could give her. "I need your mouth on me."

Dorian lifted her thighs, hooking her legs over his broad shoulders. Alyssa laid back across the desk, resting her weight on her elbows as his hot mouth burrowed straight into her wet, swollen core.

The moment his tongue swiped over her clit, a strangled moan tore from her throat. Her hips instinctively bucked against his face, grinding shamelessly against his mouth.

His tongue grew punishing and wild, licking, swirling, and sucking hard, driving her ruthlessly toward the edge of her release. He buried two fingers deep inside her hot, tight center, pumping them in and out in a fast, rhythmic pace, coating his hand in her slick juices.

He could feel her walls pulsing, contracting tightly around his fingers as her climax neared. Just as the wave was about to shatter her, he abruptly yanked his fingers and mouth away.

He straightened and lowered her legs. His dark eyes locked onto hers as he licked his lips, savoring every drop of her sweet taste.

"Don’t stop," she whimpered, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Dorian, please."

Dorian let out a low chuckle, his hands dropping to his trousers. He pulled down the zip and freed his cock, the member thick and erect, glistening with precum.

He seized her hips, pulled her to the edge of the desk and buried his cock deep inside her with a single, unforgiving thrust.

Alyssa let out a loud scream, the sound tearing from her throat as her walls stretched around his massive length. Dorian instantly slammed a hand over her mouth to muffle the sound, his own body quivering from the overwhelming sensation of being squeezed tight inside her.

He pulled back all the way and slammed back in with a deep thrust that made his black eyes roll back in ecstasy.

Releasing her mouth, he clamped his hands firmly onto her hips, pounding into her with long, thick, punishing strokes. Her inner walls gripped him tightly, milking him deeper with every brutal stroke.

"Fuck!" he growled, his voice raspy and thick with pleasure. "Look at me, baby. Open your eyes and look at me."

Alyssa’s eyes slowly fluttered open. Her blue irises had transformed into a deep crimson, burning like hot embers in the dimly lit room. Dorian didn’t say a word about the change; he simply held her gaze like she was the only thing that mattered to him.

"I love you," he gasped, his thrusts driving into her harder and faster, shaking the desk beneath them. "I love you so damn much!"

He slammed into her with punishing force, his entire frame shaking with raw exertion. "You are mine, Alyssa. All fucking mine. Say it!"

"I’m yours," she whimpered, her fingers clawing at the wood beneath her.

He thrust in deeper, hitting her sweet spot with devastating precision. "Louder, my love. Tell me who you belong to."

"You!" she cried out in ecstasy. "I belong to you. Oh goddess... I’m going to cum."

Dorian crashed his mouth onto hers, swallowing her cries as he delivered two final, violent thrusts.

Alyssa shattered in his arms, her screams muffled against his lips. Her walls pulsed hard, milking his cock ruthlessly until his own restraint snapped.

With a savage roar, Dorian spilled deep inside her, his hips grinding forcefully into hers as the intense waves of his climax took over.

He held her tight against his chest, riding out his orgasm until his body felt fused with hers.

Wrapped in that cocoon of pleasure, he prayed with everything he had that Alyssa would conceive again and make their family whole.
