the beast still wants to play.... ** heavy sexual content **

Asra grinned, and I found my chest constricting at the sight. He tugged on my hand before leading me from the bed. I was blushing, still sticky from our first time together, as he took me into the bathroom. My eyes stayed locked on his wrist, the fancy watch glinting in the low light telling me the time. Asra was quick to turn the shower on before turning back to me and grabbing me by the hips.

"Do you really? Do you know what that means?" He wondered.

I rolled my eyes, trying hard to hide the blush. I had blurted out my admiration almost automatically, and now he was teasing me for it.

"So, what?"

He chuckled, leaning forward until his lips brushed my ear. "I win."

I scowled, recoiling from him and crossing my arms. "You did not."

"I have won, fair and square." He smirked. "You fell for me."

"Ah-ah, you said before the next full moon."

"Which is today, yes."

"Today has finished. Feel free to check the time, Asra." I smirked.

He narrowed his eyes, raising his wrist to his face. "And?"

"It is one in the morning, correct?"

"One-oh-five," He muttered.

I rolled my eyes, the one in turn to grin. "Which means the day of the full moon is over. It is officially the next day of the cycle. Midnight means the next day!"

He groaned at my triumphant grin, even more so when I fist-bumped his shoulder. I laughed at his half-assed attempt to hide his amusement, moving closer to him.

"Now, give me a hug." I beamed.

Knowing I was sticky with his own pleasure, I was sure he would turn it down. But alas, this is Asra, and he is full of surprises. He chuckled, wrapping his arms around me and in a flash, shoved me into the shower. I shrieked at the cool water, rampantly turning the dials to a warmer temperature.

"I do not mind the scent of our mating, but I would assume you would like to be relatively clean to sleep tonight." Asra's voice whispered in my ear.

I grunted but relaxed into his hold when his hands came to wrap around my mid-section. He grumbled in my ear as I pressed myself into him, his lips caressing the mark on my neck.

"When I finally get to fuck you, I am going to mark you again." He murmured.

A shiver rolled down my spine at the intended pleasure, curious to find out what another round would mean. This time, he said fuck, not mate. Was this what everyone spoke of? Would the beast come out to play?

I hummed, hesitating my response. "I look forward to that."

He groaned, sucking the droplets of water from my shoulder. "Good."

"Asra..." I began, receiving a hum as he washed my body. "You didn't... finish... inside... Is that why the bond feels... weird?"

He sighed, his head coming to rest on mine. "It will be the reason yes. It's like... trying to light a fire but never using the spark. It never gets to engulf."

"But... why? Surely just the act would..."

He shook his head, my hair sticking to his skin. "Wolves are primal. Scent is everything, bonds are everything. It's just how it is."

A small oh left my lips, and he continued to clean my body. His hand graced the soaped cloth gently through my legs before spinning me around to face him. I was deep in thought, wondering why he didn't just complete the bond like he wanted to. He had every right to take what he wanted when he was already inside of me...

"Why didn't you..."

"Finish inside?" He wondered.

"If it's so important to your kind? I said nothing otherwise..."

He sighed, cupping my cheeks. "Ailia, I will not do that when I did not have your permission. We haven't really spoken much of our relationship, and the last thing I wanted to do was take that away from you."

A small oh left my lips as realisation dawned on me. I felt grateful for his actions; that he wasn't disrespecting me.

"What... what do you want from this?" His voice was quiet.

My eyes darted to his in surprise. "What?"

He chuckled, nodding once. I stared up at his blue eyes with wonder. The water dripped from his hair and lashes, making them thicker and longer. My hand rose, wiping the water from his cheek before standing on my tiptoes to kiss him softly. He was so vulnerable, so un-like the alpha he showed the world.

"I want you, Asra." I mumbled.

His eyes seemed to brighten, his hands coming around my back to settle on my hips. "You do?"

"Yes."

"And the future?" He wondered. "What about that?"

"Well... I admit I am a little... unaware of what is required of me." I admitted. "But... I am comfortable with you, Asra. You have grown on me."

He laughed softly. "So have you, little human."

I scoffed. "Little human? So condescending, considering I am your equal."

He claimed my mouth with a growl, devouring me with a fervour. I moaned, sinking into him until our bodies pressed together. He pulled away only for a moment, to murmur in my ear.

"Ready for round two?" He whispered.

A resounding moan was my only answer as his lips claimed my own again. His hands grabbed and pulled at my hips, a satisfied hum sounding in his chest. My hands scrambled to turn off the water behind me, only having a moment of breath before he hitched me around his waist. I squealed with surprise, disconnecting our mouths as I now sat slightly higher than him.

It didn't stop him, though. His mouth sucked and nibbled at my chest, pulling one of my breasts into his mouth. My head fell backward, my hands grabbing onto his shoulders to steady myself as he sucked and nibbled at my flesh. Despite our skin being wet, Asra sat down on the bed, keeping me on his lap. He was already hard and warm between our bodies, my clit pressing against his shaft just right.

His hands pried my thighs apart, gliding me up down the outside of his flesh. He brushed my folds, the tip of his cock teasing my clit with a promise. I moaned, grinding against him as he rubbed against me.

"You like that, Tulip?"

I moaned, nodding. He growled, hands digging into the flesh of my ass and stopping my grinding.

"Words, Tulip. You have them, use them."

His command had my body tingling, and I gasped a yes.

"Do you want more?"

"Yes." I breathed.

"Yes..."

"Yes, I want more." I growled, unable to get any friction from the heated length between his thighs. "Please give me more."

"Good." He growled.

I gasped with surprise when he lifted me from his lap and sank himself into me in one motion. I moaned at the sudden full feeling, my head falling backward. His lips attacked my neck, and I used my hands to drag my nails into his skin. He groaned with pleasure, vibrating my throat and only encouraging me to grind against him. I gasped as my clit brushed his lower stomach, pleasure coursing through my body.

"Fuck." He moaned.

His hands wrapped under my ass, lifting me until only the tip of him remained inside of me. I whimpered, digging my hands in deep until I drew blood. He cursed, pulling me down. I bucked against him, dropping my mouth to his neck. He tensed as my lips caressed his pulse, feeling it quicken beneath my lips.

"Ailia..." He murmured as I clenched his length.

A pleased hum vibrated his chest as I began to lift and drop my hips against him. With his hands supporting me, we found a rhythm that had my every cell come alive. A delightful shiver shot down my spine as his cock pressed into that same spot repeatedly. His hands were fisting my ass, massaging and pulling as my mouth sucked and nibbled at his throat.

My lips disconnected from his skin just as I reached a quick and gasping climax. He grunted beneath me as I slowed my pace, grinding against him until the pleasurable shocks finished. I had never been on top before and found myself gasping for the breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding.

"My turn." He growled.

A thrill of excitement shot down my spine as he rose to his feet. His cock slipped from me, a whine escaping my lips. I soon found myself on all fours, staring down at the mattress. He pulled my hips toward him until my knees hit the edge of the mattress.

"Asra-

But he was already back inside, my protesting confusion turning into a gasp of pleasure. He quickly found a rhythm, my hands fisting the sheets. My hair was wet and flying past my face with every sharp thrust against my ass. I moaned, pushing back into him. My heart raced, every piece of my core coming alive with his fast, hard thrusts.

"Asra..." I moaned.

"Yes, baby?" He growled.

"Deeper." I gasped.

He groaned, his fingers digging deep into my skin. His thrusts grew quicker, my breasts swinging, my mind whirling as I was driven to an unfamiliar edge of pleasure. My mind whirred, my stomach clenching with desire. I felt the bond come alive as my next orgasm neared, a teasing, tempting pleasure. Asra was growling softly, his chest pressing against my back as he curled himself around me.

His hand left my hip to wrap around my front, fingers expertly finding my clit. I moaned, shivering and clutching at his thick length as he deepened his thrusts. I felt his breath fan the back of my neck and I instinctively curved my head to give him access.

His lips found my mark and sucked at the scarred tissue. It happened so suddenly, so intensely, that I barely had a moment to breathe. My back arched as I came undone beneath him.

"Yes, that's it." Asra growled in my ear.

I was moaning softly, desperately clutching at his length to feel more. I needed more.

Asra continued riding me out of my orgasm and only when I stopped did he pick up his pace again. He moved away from me, my back feeling cool without his heat pressed against me. He pushed at the middle of my back, causing me to arch my ass into him more, my chest falling to the bed.

"Fuck, hold it like that." He cursed.

"Asra..." I moaned.

I could feel him everywhere. In every beat of my heart, was a beat of his hips. My breathing became frantic, my heart skipping beats as I gave into the bliss. My entire body shook as he grew hasty, practically destroying my core until it left me quivering beneath him again with another climax. He didn't stop there, didn't stop at all.

His hands moulded, pulled, grasped what he could, diving his cock into new depths and levels with every angle of his hips, or raise of his knee.

I was up to five orgasms when he finally eased. But it didn't stop there, oh no. Whilst still staying inside of me, he somehow spun me. It was so fast, my head reeled with stars as I landed on my back. He wrapped my knees around his elbows, hitching me until our more sensitive areas were flush with each other.

I moaned at the depth and the throbbing between my thighs. I was growing tired and weary, my pussy hot and pulsing with the turmoil of pleasure. He was using me, in a good way. His hands caressed and pulled all the right places. His lips would even occasionally kiss my calf.

From this angle, I could tell his eyes were darker. His canines flashing when ever he growled told me he was truly in his element.

"Asra..." I gasped as his thumb came to my clit.

"Tell me what you want, Tulip." He growled before dropping his words to every harsh and deep thrust. "What. Do. You. Want."

"I want you to cum." I gasped.

"Yeah? You want my cum? Where?" He grunted, my wet flesh smacking into his thighs.

His nostrils flared as my eyes met his. I panted with desperation, nodding my head. His thumb masterfully played a damn symphony on my clit as his cock teased my every wall and crevice. The bond between us burned, desperate as it fogged my mind, and begged for release.

I felt his hands dig in deep, one coming to grasp at my breast, causing me to bend more in half until he was over me.

"Yes! God, yes, please!" I screamed as his cock hit that wonderful spot once more. "Cum inside me, Asra. Please!"

He cursed as he suddenly stiffened, and his teeth sank into my throat. I felt him twitch inside of me as a sudden burst of warmth coated my insides. I moaned, my head curving backward and spine arching as my orgasm came in full force. My walls clutched at him, pulling him deep inside of me with my ankles around his back until he couldn't escape. The heat of his climax coated me as he slowed his thrusts, riding me softly with every piece of heaven possible.

Only when we finished did I feel the heaviness in my heart grow stronger, and realised Asra no longer held me between his teeth. When I normally would feel tired and relaxed after a wonderful orgasm, I felt my energy spike. My head whirled as something bombarded me with an awareness I wasn't sure of.

It settled for a while before fading to the background and yet I felt... regenerated. Alive. It wrapped me in its cocoon, warm and comforting. Strong.

"Asra..." I whispered when he finally dropped my legs yet remained inside of me.

Dark blue eyes met mine, a wide grin stretching his face. "Yes, Tulip?"

"What is that?" I breathed, my eyes blurry. "That feeling."

"That is the bond growing." He murmured, bending down to kiss me. "Now all we need is your teeth in my skin."

I could feel him soften, but he refused to let go completely.

"I have to bite you? And then it's complete."

"Yes." He smirked, kissing me again. "You do."

I hummed, enjoying the way he was stroking promises into my skin with his fingertips. If I felt this energised and fresh from merely completing the mating part, I could only imagine the irresistible pleasure I would get from the full bond.

"Maybe I will save that for next time." I murmured suggestively.

He growled a yes before picking me up. "Let me get you cleaned up."
