The Lycan King and his Dark Temptation romance Capítulo 57

VALERIA

He threatens me, and then immediately leans over the nightstand, rummaging through the drawer.

I can't see clearly, but I notice him putting something in his mouth before he moves over me, pinning me to the bed and devouring my lips.

He grabs my hair in a fist, while his other hand grips my neck, not letting me escape his delicious invasion as his tongue tangles with mine.

Something slips down my throat, and I panic.

What did he just make me swallow?

His fingers dig into my cheeks, forcing me to keep my mouth open.

"Don't fight, Valeria. Trust me. It's a medicine to prevent scarring."

I stop struggling under his dominance, trusting a man again, hoping this time I’m not making another mistake.

He wouldn't save my life just to end it afterward.

I swallowed some kind of slimy pill, and immediately, warmth spread all over my body, but especially beneath my left breast.

Aldric stopped kissing me, yanking my gown open, and his mouth trailed down to lick and suck my breasts, cupping them in his large hands, squeezing them and pinching my hardened nipples.

He licked over and over that spot that stung and burned, where the spell had been.

Growling with arousal, his hard erection rubbed against my thigh as his hips moved sensually.

Desire pulsed through my body, just like the time I had that crisis.

Why was this happening again now?

"Aaahhh!" I screamed, arching my back when a sharp pain made me writhe, as if something had just been ripped from my body.

I don’t know what happened after that. I lost consciousness.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, I was alone in bed.

*****

The next day, I visited Edward, who cried in my arms and even apologized because I had gotten hurt.

How could I blame a child for that?

I left him calmer, with his mother, who at least in front of the visitors pretended to care.

Later, I reported everything that had happened to the King and the Alpha in the study, including what I heard from that kidnapper and his accomplices.

Apparently, he was a former servant of the mansion who had been expelled from the pack for theft.

It wasn't clear if this was truly a kidnapping or something more sinister.

I privately told Aldric the bits I had overheard, that they knew my identity, that it seemed they had used the boy as bait to lure me in, and that they were working for someone else who was paying them.

The King looked thoughtful, his brow furrowed, but all he told me was to stay by his side.
