Author''s note: This is from Duke''s point of view

    - - -

    Was I happy that Serina agreed to a dinner date with my wolf? Of course, not.

    The bastard even told her his name and he got a kiss. Sure, it was only a kiss on the cheek, and technically, it was my cheek as well, but it was a kiss when he was in charge of my body and it came with those damned addictive sparks that I couldn''t feel unless he was in the driver''s seat.

    However, I knew that Serina was right.

    He was here to stay, and my approach was not leading anywhere so I decided to listen to Serina. She was the one caught in the crossfire, and I owed her this.

    Besides, everything I did was for her, and if she thinks that me giving some time to my wolf will work, I was willing to try.

    In any case, I will be watching him and if he tries anything funny, I will yank him back. Actually, if he makes a mistake or harms Serina in any way, I will use that against him to cut his time short.

    As much as I was not willing to let Serina talk to my wolf, and I felt like ripping him into pieces due to his lecherous thoughts that were on full display for me to hear… I couldn''t deny that something good came out of it. Privacy.

    After what seemed like forever, I was the only person in my mind. I didn''t feel that anyone else was listening, watching, and judging my every move. It was just me.

    It was like invisible shackles were removed, and I could breathe freely.

    I had Serina to thank for that. She managed to get him to back off willingly. She did so much for me, yet I only brought her trouble.

    Yes, I thought I was protecting her, but my biggest mistake was that I believed how it will be that simple.

    It was my duty to protect Serina from Magda, Willow, Adele, Ruby, and many others, and instead of protecting her by staying away, I left her exposed and unguarded. She died. Literally. I will never forgive myself for that.

    And then I ended up shot, and Aldus gave his vitality in order to save me. Aldus was the man who provided Serina with the family and a sense of belonging she never had, and I took him away from her.

    No matter how I look at things, I failed miserably.

    I don''t deserve her, yet here she was, in my arms, telling me that we should stick together and that everything will be alright.

    I wanted to echo her words. I wanted to assure her that I will always be by her side and watch her back, but I was not qualified.

    How can I keep her safe when I don''t trust myself?

    It was not like me to get depressed. If my wolf was here, he would call me a sissy. Is it possible that I was missing him?

    Maybe I got used to the snarky voice in my head.

    I definitely craved to feel again those sparks of the bond. I am a werewolf, and they belong to me! My wolf knew how much I wanted to feel the sparks, and he told me that I can have them, as long as I give him my body to control. Bastard.

    My mood improved significantly when I carried Serina to bed.

    It was just the two of us, with no pesky beast watching, and we were going to have sex. Lots of it.

    I removed my t-shirt and pride swelled within me when I saw the awe in Serina''s expression as her eyes drank my appearance hungrily.

    Yes, I bulked up when my wolf woke up, I guess that''s the perk of being a werewolf. I was always athletic, with just over 10% fat on my body, but now my muscles were more prominent as I visibly grew a size.

    Serina also did a series of tests and confirmed that my strength and speed increased, and my senses got sharper. Unfortunately, we didn''t have a previous baseline for senses so we couldn''t assess the improvement, but I definitely noticed that my eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell got a boost.

    Actually, my body leveled up with the awakening of my wolf, and I should be happy about it, if not for the small thing of him wanting to take over my body, and my lover. That''s not happening.

    On the downside, I had to re-order suits, because my measurements changed. Until those were made, I was stuck with wearing sweatpants, shorts, and t-shirts that are stretchy. But this was not the time to worry about the wardrobe.

    ...

    Serina ran her palms over my abs, and I could smell her arousal.

    Damn, she is good!

    That silky nightgown was not an obstacle in getting a taste of her. From where should I start?

    Serina''s hands paused as she gripped the waistband of my sweatpants, and she licked her lips before pulling them lower together with my underwear.

    I watched as her eyes widened while she visually assessed my erect cock. Yup, he got an upgrade also.

    She glanced at me apprehensively and her hand moved slowly to hold onto my shaft.

    I was barely suppressing the madness to ravage her insides. I craved to hear her cry my name wantonly.

    I chanted in my head, ''Easy… take things slowly… you are bigger and stronger, and you don''t want to hurt her…''

    Mother of Gods!

    My whole body shook when she took me into her mouth.

    It was not the first time she did that, but this felt more intense than any time before. Was this an additional enhancement due to my wolf awakening? How would it feel if it came with those addictive sparks of the bond?

    She was doing wonderfully, but I couldn''t wait to feel her sweet pussy.

    I held her head as I pulled my cock out of her mouth and I pushed her back on the bed.

    In less than a second, she was completely naked and tatters of what used to be her nightgown were falling in slow motion on the floor around us. She was not wearing underwear. I approved.

    I didn''t have much patience for foreplay, but I still needed to check on her.

    She spread her legs to welcome my hand and my cock lurched in response when I felt how wet she was.

    I crawled on top of her and kissed her deeply.

    "My desire for you is maddening…", I said between kisses.

    "Go for it.", she responded breathily while shyly avoiding my gaze.

    I couldn''t believe that after everything we did, Serina still had this shyness that turned me on more than anything because it appeared like I''m corrupting her for the first time, every time.

    "Hisss…" I hissed as I made my way inside her slowly, relishing the feeling of her insides clutching my cock perfectly. She was tight.

    I was about halfway in when my control snapped and I jabbed myself all the way, reaching Serina''s depths that no one explored before.

    "Ahhh!", Serina''s cry came a second later and I snapped to see her grimacing.

    Shit! I forgot that my size increased. I was supposed to give her oral, or at least to take it slowly, yet I ended up hurting her. Again.

    "Sorry. Are you alright?", I asked while guilt crashed on me full force.

    "It''s OK.", she breathed.

    Serina took in a shaky breath and wrapped her legs around my waist.

    I didn''t move, but then… she did. She was tight and it was heavenly, but I didn''t want her to do this if she was in pain.

    I grabbed her waist, to prevent her from moving.

    "Let me…", I said, and I started rocking my hips slowly, using every ounce of my control to move in and out of her just a bit while peppering kisses on her face and neck.

    When her expression relaxed, I increased the range of my motions and she tensed again, but this time for different reasons. Pleasure.

    We were both craving for each other, and I was hungrily kissing and caressing her body while increasing the pace of my thrusts.

    She was responding to me wonderfully, confirming that she was made for me.

    Serina rewarded me with heavenly sounds of her moaning my name while clawing at my back.

    "Ah… ah… Mateo… I am going to…"

    "Go for it, my love.", I growled while fighting my own madness.

    I gripped her hips and changed the angle slightly and Serina''s eyes rolled at the back of her head.

    My ass buckled when her insides coiled around my shaft, and that was the final pull I needed to see the colors in front of my closed eyes as I shot my seed deep inside her in those last few shaky thrusts I couldn''t stop.

    Serina was back in my arms, and I had no intention of letting go.

    I looked at the gorgeous woman under me, her skin glistened with a thin layer of sweat as she trembled in ecstasy, and I knew that the night had just begun.

    Serina gave me a drowsy smile. "I love you, Mateo."

    "I love you too, Serina." If only you knew how much…
