CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61

Trevor’s POV

I was headed to my chambers, but before passing Maria’s room, I twisted the doorknob, just to check if she was there.

I didn’t have anything special to tell her, but she had become an obsession, and thoughts of her always settled in my head. The door was open and I heard the sound of water sploshing gently.

I followed it to the bathroom, and met the most ethereal sight ever. My mate, Maria, the woman who had made me see meaning to my pathetic life was submerged in the water.

Her head was above the water, and her silk hair was wet and clung to her back and neck. Her back was spotless and smooth just like alabaster.

We were intimate last night, but I never really got to appreciate her bare body because of the darkness. I stood at the door for a while, and she didn’t notice me until I walked to her and touched her back, causing her to jerk.

Her scared look was replaced with something softer when she saw that it was me.

I didn’t wait for an invitation before taking off my own clothes and joining her in the tub. Her scent was alluring as ever—that smell of wild flowers that always clung to my nose.

"Trevor," she called out as she nestled closer to me.

"I’d miss you so much when you leave. I wish I could accompany you."

Maria sighed. "I wish that could happen, but the blight..."

"I know. The blight is still out there and a rogue can’t pass through." I stroked her wet hair gently.

I hummed a tune as she lay on my chest in the bathwater. She used her fingers to draw imaginary lines on my chest, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

I scooped her face in my hands, such that she was now looking at me.

"You’re beautiful, mate." I muttered, making her lower her eyes as a blush appeared on her face.

The region where I had marked her was visible. It was a bit red, and there were faint marks from his teeth. I rubbed the skin gently and lowered my lips to place a kiss there.

"You know we have to bathe fast and prepare for the party." Maria said as I trailed kisses down her neck.

"I know, but we should prepare together."

I held her closer to me and poured the water on her body to rinse the soap.

Afterwards, I scooped her into my arms and carried her to the bed. I sat on the bed with her seated on my lap.

I just stared at her bare body, who wouldn’t? She was perfect and controlled every part of me. Her boobs were rounded and placed perfectly on her chest. They were taut and it made me smile, knowing that her body resonated with mine.

I ran my fingers around her hips. They were plump and the soft curves led to a delicate waist.

She lowered her gaze from mine as my eyes admired her body. Something told me she was shy.

I lifted her chin gently for her to focus on me, then I whispered, "You’re beautiful."

The smile that followed warmed my heart. I laid her on the bed and began trailing kisses from her mouth to every other part of her body. It was a feeling that I couldn’t describe. Those soft moans coming out of her mouth sounded like a sweet melody.

Her hand wrapped around my neck and caressed my head as I slid my shaft into her cleft.

Her moans got even louder, and I wondered for a moment if the others in the castle would hear. But who cares, I was getting the best thing in the world.

When I was done, she surprised me by switching positions and getting on her fours while I drilled her from behind. I couldn’t stop the moans that were also escaping from my mouth.

Her soft ass bounced against my pelvis and the sound of our wet skin making contact filled the room.

When I released, I collapsed on the bed and placed a dear kiss on her neck. The spot where I bit her was just so attractive, and I couldn’t help myself from placing kisses there.

"I love you mate," I whispered into her ears as we were done.

"I love you Trevor," She responded, and it made my chest flutter in ways I couldn’t understand.

Since the day that I found out she was my mate, I struggled with so much joy that day, worried that I may burst from excitement.

Me, Trevor, a rogue who had been cast out for years finally being blessed with a mate by the moon goddess. It was unbelievable, and it was the best thing that had happened to me.

We lay together through the evening, until it was time for the party to start.

She got up from bed, and my eyes were focused on her spotless skin as she headed to the folds of her clothes and picked out a dress.

She spread out the dress and showed it to me. "How is it?" She asked as she twirled around with the cloth in her hand.

"It is lovely, and honestly, anything would look perfect on you."

She smiled at my response and proceeded to wear the dress. My eyes never left her the entire while.

She also adorned her hair with some accessories that I couldn’t name, and when she was done, she looked more stunning than I had ever seen.

I held her hand, spinning her around to give me a 360 degree turn. She laughed heartily at my gesture.

"We should be going now. The party has already started." I said to her with her hand still in mine.

"Do you want to go naked?" She teased as her eyes went over my naked body.

"Yes. After all, werewolves shift naked all the time"

I saw a stunned look on her face and I nudged her playfully with my elbow. "Of course I’m going to wear my clothes."
