The Alpha’s Companion - Chapter 64

After practice the next day, Lacey is packing up when Julien surprised her by wrapping his arms around her from behind.

“I thought we could have dinner together tonight in the small dining hall,” Julien whispered into her ear.

Lacey was taken aback by his public display of affection, but pack members smiled as they walked past, obviously approving the match. “Sounds good,” she replied, leaning back against his chest, knowing it may be the last chance they had to enjoy their time together before the next Wildclaw attack. But she refused to think about it, wanting to have this one night together. But hopefully not their last.

“Ready?” Julien raised an eyebrow. When she nodded, he laid his arm across her shoulders and said. “Let’s go.” When they were inside, Julien gently kissed her forehead. “Why don’t you go upstairs and relax. I’m going to speak with the chef.

Lacey gave him one last hug. “Okay, but don’t be long.”

Julien chuckled. “Yes, ma’am.” Then he gave her another smile over his shoulder and headed off.

Lacey headed up the stairs, feeling a bit more tired than usual. But she shrugged it off, hurrying upstairs to their suite. But when she got there, she was so tired that she thought she’d lay down for a minute to rest. Then she planned to take a shower to prepare for their evening together, but the soft down comforter on the bed looked too inviting.

Eyeing the bed, she slipped off her shoes and stretched across, hoping that she didn’t get it dirty from not showering first. But then she sank into the comforter, enjoying the luxury of just taking a moment to rest.

“Lacey….”

“Lacey,” a soft voice cooed softly in her ear.

Was that Julien or was she dreaming? Lacey smiled, knowing it was Julien, dream or not. Then it dawned on her… the dinner… taking a shower… She sat bolt upright, hitting Julien in the mouth, reminding her of when she had slapped him when they first met. But this time, it was by accident.

“Oh, Julien!” Lacey winced when she saw the trickle of blood oozing from his lip. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you!”

Julien laughed, rising from the bed. “It was my fault for coming unannounced,” he teased.

Lacey hurried off the bed. “Give me a minute and I’ll be ready. Then she slipped her T-shirt off, leaving on her bra as she headed toward the shower. But Julien pulled her back.

“No.” Julien smiled, licking the blood off his lip, as he sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled her to stand between his legs and kissed her stomach. “Change of plans.”

“Oh, yeah?” Lacey asked but couldn’t remember why she was objecting when he unsnapped her bra with the flick of his wrist, and it fell to the floor.

“You’re pretty good at that,” she teased. Among other things.

He looked up and gave her a mischievous grin. “I’ve had plenty of practice.” And then went back to devouring her stomach, placing kisses sensually along her skin.

“Oh! You have, have you?” Although she was aware that Julien had been with other women, she had no desire to be reminded.

He placed another slow, sensual kiss on her flat stomach, working his way up, and then looked up at her, raising an eyebrow. “Why? Jealous?”

Lacey’s breath quickened s she closed her eyes, arousal filling her body and culminating in a pool between her legs. “What you did before we met was one thing….” Then she opened an eye to look down at him. “But what you do now is quite another. I told you before. I don’t share.”

He scooped her into his arms and flipped her on her back onto the bed, laughing, and then whispered against her skin. “Neither do I.” Then all talking stopped when he kissed up to her breast and found the soft pink bud and his tongue danced over her breasts, licking and sucking. Then he moved over to the other, letting his tongue dance over her bud, taking his time, obviously not wanting the other to feel left out.

“Take me, Julien,” Lacey breathed, arching her back in anticipation as her breath quickened and every nerve ending in her body was lit a fire.

“Nuh uh,” he said moving down to her stomach. “Not before I have dinner.” When his lips found what he was searching for, she had no complaints at all. His tongue found her pleasure bead, sucking and licking as his tongue and mouth worked their magic.

“I want you in me, Julien,” she breathed, clutching the heavy comforter, wanting him more than she ever had before.

But his tongue and mouth coaxed until she reached the point of no return, sending her over the edge, her body writhing in pleasure as she called out his name.

Then he stood and dropped his pants and stroked his length that was already standing at attention. Then he eased into her, gently at first, causing her to gasp as she gripped his back and butt, wanting more of him. Then his lips descended upon hers, and his tongue found entrance as he pushed into her over and again, harder and harder, until she gasped, coming undone under him. Then he nipped her neck, pumping into her harder than before. “Say that you’re mine.”

“I’m yours, Julien, I’m your mate… only yours.” She breathed. “Now, you tell me.”

“I’m yours… your mate… always… now and forever,” he said as he came in her and her walls clutched around him, milking every bit from him. Then he collapsed beside her, trying to catch his breath, looking at her through his lashes, bedroom eyes. “I love you, Mrs. Grey.”

“I love you, too, Mr. Grey.” And she knew it was true. Never in her life had she felt so loved, so complete, a she did at this moment.. As she lay beside her mate, spent, she never wanted this moment to end.
