Chapter 207: Enjoy this as much as I am
**Mature Content Ahead**
Kieran trailed his kisses down the valley between her breasts, pausing at one side. Looking up, he saw Leia’s eyes were tightly shut, her breathing shallow and ragged as she sank deeper into the sensation.
His thumb lightly grazed over the peak, drawing a sharp gasp from her lips. He replaced his thumb with his mouth, swirling his tongue over the tip before tracing a path down to her belly, only to work his way back up to the other breast.
The moment his mouth latched onto her skin, Leia’s eyes snapped open, a breathy moan escaping her. She looked down and caught the intense, heavy gaze of his eyes as he pulled her nipple into his mouth.
"Kieran," she whispered, her voice trembling as his free hand found her other breast, giving it a firm, steady squeeze.
He teased both peaks simultaneously, tugging at one with his fingers while using his teeth to gently pressure the other, before switching his focus. He gave the exact same attention to the second breast, his eyes never leaving her face as he mapped every gasp, shiver, and reaction she gave him.
Leia knew she had completely surrendered to a force she couldn’t, and didn’t want to, escape. She already understood the overwhelming power an Alpha had over her body from her experience with Lucien, but Kieran was different. He was the one she had promised herself would be her first, and that certainty anchored her through the rising heat.
"Mmm... Mmmph... Ngh..."
As the sensations intensified, her moans grew louder, causing her to suddenly press her lips tightly together to stifle the sound.
Kieran paused his movements, lifting his head slightly to look at her. "Don’t hide your voice from me," he murmured, his breath warm against her damp skin. "Just let them out. Enjoy this as much as I am."
Overwhelmed by the intensity, Leia reached up, framing his face with her hands and pulling him down to cut off his words. Their mouths crashed together in a deep, hungry kiss, their bare chests rubbing against each other with every desperate breath.
Beneath her, Kieran felt the heavy, undeniable ache of his arousal tightening. He realized, with a sudden jolt of clarity, that he had already let things go much further than he had ever intended. At the back of his mind, his wolf was roaring, demanding that he take control and claim Leia completely right here and now.
’Not during the rut,’ he commanded himself, forcing a brutal grip on his own instincts. ’One mistake and I’ll never be able to forgive myself. She trusted me... she trusted us.’
He knew that if he pushed any further, his body would take over completely, leading to a knotting that he absolutely refused to force on her during a haze of heat.
Fighting his own anatomy, he used the friction and intensity of the kiss to push himself over the edge, releasing the mounting pressure of his heat through the contact alone.
He sank into the relief of it, completely oblivious to the sudden, strange shift occurring within Leia’s own body.
"I need more," Leia panted the moment their lips broke apart. Her eyes held an aggressive intensity he had only ever seen once before, on the day she first went into heat and discovered they were her mates.
"I feel strange down there," she whispered, grabbing his wrist and dragging his hand down over her stomach.
"Did you go into heat?" Kieran murmured, panic momentarily cutting through his haze. The timing couldn’t be worse.
"I think so. It hurts... please, just do something," she begged, a desperate vulnerability in her voice that was entirely unlike her.
Yielding to her touch, Kieran slid his hand lower, his fingertips brushing against her center.
"Ahh!" A sharp cry escaped her lips.
"Your fingers... put them inside," Leia urged, her cheeks burning crimson. She propped herself up slightly on her elbows, pressing a feverish kiss to his throat and working her way up to his earlobe. "Please."
That shattered the last of his restraint. He slid a finger deep into her heat, making her back arch as a loud moan tore from her mouth.
Kieran had never expected the situation to escalate like this, let alone that Leia would be the one taking the lead. Shedding his remaining hesitation, he reached down and removed her last piece of clothing, leaving her completely bare beneath him.
To Leia, the sudden vulnerability brought a fresh wave of embarrassment.
"Kieran, don’t stare at me like that," she whispered, trying to curl inward. She shielded her eyes with her hands, unable to face the intensity of his gaze, but he gently caught her wrists and pulled them away.
"Why? I love looking at you," he confessed, his eyes burning with deep affection as he hovered over her. "I love everything about this. And I’m so glad you trusted me enough to let me do this. My mate..."
He leaned down to press a soft kiss to the tip of her nose, then to her lips, before sliding a single finger deep inside her warmth. Leia moaned loudly and wrapped her arms tight around his neck. He set a steady rhythm, pumping his finger in and out while his thumb found her clit. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she rocked against his hand, chasing the building pressure until it finally broke.
"Fuck!" Leia gasped, body shaking hard as she came.
Kieran slowly pulled his fingers out, glistening with her wetness. He brought them to his mouth and licked them clean, eyes never leaving hers.
"Why did you–" her hand remained on her mouth as she recalled the day of her heat. The day she experienced her first pleasure through Lucien. If he found out she allowed Kieran to do such to her how he would react.
"That was wonderful," Leia whispered to Kieran as soon as she sat up. She hugged him before running into the washroom, leaving Kieran laughing.
