My heart races a little quicker with that knowledge and the way I mauled Axton. My eyes move to his neck, and I touch my own. Hissing at the dull ache of his bite, dried blood caked to my flesh.
Chapter Fifty-Five
Staring at my bloodied fingertips, I see the bruises around my wrists and my lips part when I notice the handcuffs hanging from the headboard.
“It was so we didn’t mark him,” Lexa says sleepily, coming forward.
“He doesn’t want us to mark him?” I ask her, my stomach sinking at the thought.
“What, of course, he does. He was worried you would hate him if we did it while in heat.”
“But that wouldn’t have been his fault?” I tell her, and she sighs; while my eyes scan the room, the first thing I notice is the bag beside the bed. Curious because it reeked of his scent, I pick it up and find condoms making me quickly drop it, to notice the empty box beside it. I scrunch up my face, yet glad he thought to use them.
I try to remember last night, but the images are grainy, and some are downright embarrassing. Looking down at Axton, he looks peaceful with no lines marring his handsome face. He looks relaxed and content. My hand moves down his chest, and he tugs me closer with a groan. I stifle a giggle as he sluggishly tucks me closer, his hand fumbling above his head, reaching for the handcuffs.
Enjoying his sleepy reactions, thinking I’m still riddled with heat, I trail my fingertips down his side. “No, no more. It’s broken,” he whines, rolling into me like he can just crush me into the bed and go back to sleep. His heavy arm draped across my chest and shoulder as he chucks his leg across my waist.
His scent fills my nose, his neck a mere inch from my lips. Lifting my head, I suck on his skin, my lips trailing across his skin, making him shiver. He groans, his arm moving awkwardly for his hand to fall over my mouth.
“Khan, I tap out. You’re up!” he whines, burying his face in the pillow next to my head. Chuckling, I lick his hand, and he turns his face toward me. Blinking hazily he presses his lips against my cheek muttering something about needing sleep.
Gripping his wrist, I pull it from my mouth, and he growls, clearly over fucking, making me laugh. “Climb aboard while I catch some sleep, help yourself,” he mumbles. I try to push him off, but he doesn’t budge instead, he starts snoring softly. With my one arm free, I try to push him off, kissing his shoulder, and he groans, his eyes opening to snatch the handcuffs.
“Greedy heat-ridden she-wolf, you’re lucky I love you,” he huffs.
“I love you too,” I snicker as he sits up, half asleep; I pull him closer by wrapping my legs around his waist.
“Wait…” he growls, blinking rapidly and yawning. I raise an eyebrow at him as he yawns, unwrapping my legs from around him.
He grabs my wrist, clamping the handcuff on it, and catches me watching him. His brows furrow then he jolts. “Elena?”
“Axton.” I chuckle, shaking my wrist at him.
“You’re awake?” he says, cupping my face with his hand.
“And you’re handcuffing me!” I tell him, and he blinks down at me for a second, then his eyes widen, his lips parting.
“It’s not what you think, I…I’m not holding you here.” he fumbles for words and for the key off of the bedside dresser.
“I’ll undo it,” he rambles.
“He’s cute when he’s scared of us.” Lexa laughs.
“Scared of our reaction,” I correct her. Axton, lets me go, leaning over and reaching for the key that sits right on the edge, his hand clutching the bedhead.
“I promise it’s not what it looks like….I….” I clamp the other side of the handcuff on his wrist, and he freezes, peering down at me. His eyes move to his wrist, now attached to mine.
“What are you doing? I promise I have the key.”
“I don’t want the key. I’m just making sure you can’t escape me.” I tell him, moving quickly. I wrap my legs around him and twist. He makes an oomph noise as I reverse our positions, so I am now straddling his waist.
“Lena, I swear…. Ask Khan. I wa–” my lips cut his words off. He freezes beneath me, and my tongue traces the seam of his lips. He jerks away from me, giving me a concerned look.
He sighs, while I lean down recapturing his lips. Axton mumbles against my lips about me still being in heat. “I’m not in heat, Axton,” I tell him, pulling back. He watches me for a few seconds.
“The boys?” he tilts his head to the side, observing me.
His free hand gripping my thigh, he runs his hand up my leg watching me. I shiver, but he clearly doesn’t get the response my heat would give him because his brows furrow.
