Chapter 693 My Oath To You
“Caleb?” Ashleigh called to him. “Is everything all right?”
He turned back with a smile and nodded.
“Everything is fine,” he said. “Liam came by.”
Ashleigh straightened her back and looked up with concern.
“I didn’t do anything to him,” Caleb said immediately. “We just talked.”
She took a breath.
“Ok,” she said. “Did you apologize?”
Ashleigh continued to the bed, where her clothes were laid out. She grabbed her panties, putting them on under her robe.
“Yes,” Caleb said, watching Ashleigh push the robe off her shoulders and let it fall to the ground. He approached her as she put her bra on with her back to him. “Though, he did plan to hit on you… so I’m not sure I really needed to apologize.”
He put his arms around her waist, leaning down and resting his chin against the warm skin of her shoulder.
Ashleigh laughed.
“He knew better,” she said, touching Caleb’s cheek.
Caleb moved back just enough to be able to turn his head down and place a gentle kiss on her shoulder.
“I heard quite a few wolves were interested in comforting you,” he whispered against her shoulder.
He kissed her shoulder again and then opened his mouth to allow his teeth to gently nip at her. Ashleigh raised a brow and smiled.
“Then I am sure you also heard how much I appreciated their interest,” she said.
His hands moved across her stomach, over the raised texture of her scar, until they each sat on her hips, and he gave a gentle squeeze.
Ashleigh took a deep breath and closed her eyes as his warm touch radiated through her.
“I heard that you politely refused their advances,” he whispered, kissing her shoulder tenderly.
At her hips, his fingers slipped under the fabric of her panties. He moved back and kissed along her shoulder blade as he pushed the panties down from her hips and over the curve of her ass. He left them bunched around her thighs, pulling his hands away and leaving her exposed as she was distracted by the touch of his lips to her back.
Ashleigh swallowed as his tongue traveled down her spine until he was blocked by the clasp of her bra.
She expected him to take it off, but he moved back up to her neck instead.
“Did you politely refuse them, Ashleigh?” he whispered against her throat as his hot mouth left wet kisses against her skin.
“Yes…” she whispered with a shaky breath as her heart pounded in her chest and the temperature of her body skyrocketed.
Ashleigh let out a soft cry as Caleb bit her shoulder.
“What about the ones that wouldn’t take no for an answer, Ash…” he whispered. One hand grabbed her hip, squeezing her as his thumb kneaded into her lower back. “How did you refuse them?”
Ashleigh closed her eyes and swallowed as she leaned her head back.
“I…” she began to answer, but her mind was racing ahead, making it hard to speak as she was thinking of what he might do next, what she hoped he might do next.
“Ash…” he whispered, pressing his forehead against the back of her head, burying his face in her still-damp hair and smelling the soft sweetness of her shampoo.
She took a deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts, and then she gasped as she felt something pressing against her backside.
“Tell me," he whispered into her hair as he guided himself down her ass to her thighs.
Caleb clenched his jaw as he pushed into the tight space between her thighs. His hand on her hip moved down and along the front of her thigh to her center.
Ashleigh took in a deep breath.
Caleb’s fingers slipped into her warmth as his stiff shaft rubbed against her from below. Ashleigh let out a gasping moan as he pinched her swollen bead.
Caleb grinned and leaned back down to kiss her shoulder as he moved between her thighs.
“How did you send away those dirty dogs, Ashleigh?” he asked.
Ashleigh’s mind was fogging with the heat growing inside her with every stroke and rub. But she knew that she needed to answer. If not, he would only tease her endlessly.
“I…oh!” she gasped as he pinched her bead again. She swallowed and tried again. “I.. threatened them… I told them... I.. would sooner kill them….”
Caleb smiled against her shoulder. He moved his hand, focusing on the sensitive bead as she gasped and moaned. He could feel how close she was. He slowed his movements, teasing her but keeping her at the brink.
“Sooner kill them than what?” he asked. Ashleigh was letting out soft, desperate whimpers. She tried to move against his hand to push herself over the edge, but he pulled away to stop her. “Tell me, and I’ll let you cum.”
Ashleigh clenched her jaw. Even if it was a truth he already knew, it was embarrassing to say it out loud in this situation. But she was desperate for his touch to return. She bit her lip and swallowed her pride.
“Then be with anyone who wasn’t you!” she cried. “I never want to be with anyone else!”
Caleb let out a low growl. He grabbed her chin and turned her head, kissing her passionately as his hand returned to his task with vigor. Ashleigh pulled away from the kiss as the sudden and intense sensation hit her like a tidal wave.
She felt her knees shake as the heat and pleasure rolled over her, leaving her breathless. Then, suddenly, she found herself bent over on the bed.
She looked over her shoulder as Caleb pushed her panties down to her knees and immediately lined himself with her still pulsating entrance.
He didn’t bother to wait as he was already drenched in her juices, he pushed in, and Ashleigh let out a strangled howl as he squeezed between her walls. Still recovering from the first orgasm, everything felt far more sensitive.
Ashleigh gripped the blankets as Caleb thrust into her, holding tightly to her hips and pushing deeper inside her.
It didn’t take long for both of them to climb their mountain and fall off the edge of the world together. As they both shuddered and moaned, Caleb wrapped his arm around her waist, keeping her in place as he laid his chest against her back.
Ashleigh groaned softly as the movement seemed to push him deeper. Caleb kissed her spine and began to slowly rock his hips again. She gasped as she felt him growing inside of her.
“You are mine,” he whispered. “I am yours.”
Ashleigh was panting as his movements were stirring her again.
“I will never leave you again,” he whispered, his thrusts growing faster.
“I will never again allow any other wolf to think they can approach you,” he growled.
Ashleigh groaned and then looked back over her shoulder at him. Caleb swallowed as their eyes locked, and he saw the fire and lust that stared back at him.
“Never again,” she growled. “Or, next time… I might not refuse.”
Caleb growled at her. He knew as well as she that it was a lie. But it was a promise he was more than willing to make. He slowed his pace, and she looked at him with a question in her eyes.
“My oath to you, my mate,” he whispered, “only death can ever part us again.”
Ashleigh swallowed.
“Ashleigh, my mate. My Goddess,” he whispered with a devilish grin, “accept my offering and hold me to this oath.”
With a hungry growl, Caleb thrust into her with even more speed and force as Ashleigh cried out. Her walls clung to him. Caleb groaned and held tightly to her as, again, they fell together into the abyss of their pleasure and longing.
