Chapter 322: Desperation and choice**
Fifteen minutes later Zuri lay sprawled on the bed, half-naked and gasping for air.
Luke had taken his time exploring every soft, heated inch of her, moving through each stage of teasing without ever touching the place she needed him most.
He had already wrung three hard orgasms from her using only her breasts. She was so sensitive that the lightest drag of his fingers across her swollen nipples had been enough to make her shake and spill again and again.
Yet he could feel the deeper itch still growing. The restless way her hips kept rolling and pressing into the sheets told him exactly what her body craved.
Still, he would not touch her there unless she asked for it out loud.
"I believe this should be enough for now," he said, wiping his slick hands on the sheets.
Zuri’s head snapped toward him, panic flashing in her glassy eyes. "Wait. Are you leaving? You said it would take time for me to release all the stress."
"Yeah, but I feel this should be it for now, no?" he answered with a slow, teasing smile. "Or is there somewhere else you want me to touch? You can be direct with me."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "Not like we’re going to talk about what happened between us afterward."
Zuri flinched at those words.
She knew exactly where she needed his hands right now. That aching, soaked place between her thighs throbbed for attention. But she had always believed that intimate skin should only ever be seen and touched by her mate.
If he walked away now, though, she was certain the regret would burn worse than the need.
She hovered on the edge, unable to decide.
Luke hummed thoughtfully before suggesting, "How about we do this? I’ll bind your arms and cover your eyes so you won’t feel guilty about someone other than Terek touching you. Consider it a forceful treatment."
Zuri’s throat worked as she swallowed hard. The idea still made her pulse race, but it felt safer than watching him explore the soaked heat between her thighs with her own eyes open.
She gave a slow, shaky nod. "Okay... do that..."
Luke reached for the thick white fabric that had earlier bound her breasts. He lifted her wrists above her head and began wrapping the cloth tightly around them, securing them to the headboard.
Naturally, he had to climb fully over her, knees bracketing her hips.
Her gaze dropped instantly to the heavy stiffness straining against the front of his pants. The thick outline pushed hard against the fabric, and a dark, flushed tip had already slipped free of the waistband, glistening slightly.
She swallowed again, deeper this time. She had never seen a manhood stand so rigid and long. The sight alone made her breath catch.
And the rich, musky scent rolling off him hit her next, warm and male. Her empty core twitched hard and clenched around nothing, another slow pulse of wetness soaking the thin cloth still covering her.
Unknowingly her body had begun craving something deeper. She could not name the need, because Terek had never stirred this kind of hunger in her. All she knew was that her empty little hole kept clenching, desperate to be stretched and filled.
"Here, done." Luke’s voice cut through her haze. Only then did she realize how tightly the fabric now locked her wrists above her head.
Her entire body lay open and exposed for him. He pulled a length of black cloth from somewhere and settled it carefully over her eyes, tying it firmly behind her head.
Her heart slammed against her ribs the moment darkness swallowed her vision. His warm breath brushed her ear as he whispered, "Don’t peek."
Then there was nothing but blackness and the complete surrender of her body into his hands.
She knew this was wrong. Luke was not her mate. She should never have allowed him to see her like this, bound and bare and aching.
Yet right now she needed this more than anything. She needed him to help her forget the rest of the world and the nightmare that still clung to her.
"Come on now. Don’t resist."
Luke’s voice was low and steady as he slowly spread her thighs wide, opening her completely. The soaked scrap of fabric still clung to her, outlining the swollen folds of her pussy, the place that had been aching and dripping for his touch for so long.
He wasted no time with subtlety. Two firm fingers pressed directly against her covered lips and began to rub in slow, deliberate circles, grinding the wet cloth against her sensitive skin.
Zuri bit down hard on her lower lip, fighting to keep the soft, broken sound from escaping. She could feel every ridge of the damp fabric sliding over her bare folds, the slick heat of her own arousal soaking through and reminding her just how thoroughly she had already ruined herself under his hands.
He lifted her legs higher and slid the soaked fabric aside, baring her mound completely to his hungry gaze.
She was bushy and glistening wet, thick soft curls framing the swollen folds of a woman so full of life and yet so desperately starved for this.
Luke pushed two fingers through her slick outer lips. The moment his skin met hers, pure heat and wetness coated him.
"Mm..." Her back arched hard off the bed. "...Luke..." His name left her in a shaky breath, the only word she could manage under the strange, overwhelming pleasure.
He began to swirl his thumb slowly over the swollen crown of her clit while his two long fingers gently parted her darkened pussy lips, opening her for his eyes.
"What a lovely pink..." he sighed, staring at the tight, glistening entrance within.
The small puckered hole twitched and fluttered, clearly hungry for girth. His cock throbbed at the sight, eager to fill her, yet her body still looked barely ready to take him.
Just as he was about to push a finger inside and begin stretching her for him, a voice came from outside the door.
"Are you two done? Zuri?"
It was Terek.
Both of them flinched hard.
It had been over twenty minutes and the man already seemed restless.
Luke let out a quiet sigh. "I guess this—"
"No, I need some more time!" Zuri cried out, the words tumbling from her before she could stop them. The sudden desperation in her voice left Luke completely caught off guard.
There was a short pause on the other side of the door. "I... understand," Terek answered at last. "I will go hunting then."
Luke could only scoff under his breath at the exchange.
Had the woman really chosen him over her own mate simply because she was this horny and desperate?
He didn’t need to ask. The way she immediately spread her thighs even wider for him gave him the only answer he needed.
