The Crown's Entrapment

Lying on his bed with his mate snugly dozing off beside him, Darius hummed in satisfaction as he gazed out into the midnight sky. He loved the smell that currently filled his bedchamber.

The very air around them practically reeked of his and Xenia’s sex, and it filled his heart with joy at the thought that they were responsible for it all. What happened between them tonight was the best thing that happened in his life… It was a union of love, and Xenia while she didn’t exactly say the words of love to him, he could still feel it already through her actions.

[Look at you, smiling to yourself like an idiot. But in all honesty, I’m so proud of you,] Zeus proudly congratulated him. [Finally, you did the mating process… Although we still need to mark her to complete the Mate Bond.]

[She was worried about me. That’s why she didn’t want me to mark her yet,] Darius quickly defended.

[I feel it, Zeus. She cares so much for me that she didn’t want to compromise with me until after she succeeded in the trials. I wanted to tell her that it’s alright, but knowing Xen… She most likely won’t budge on it, so we have to respect her request. And besides, I can just make sure that she succeeds in the trials no matter what.]

Even now, Xen was sleeping peacefully in his arms. She was so exhausted from all of their lovemaking that she passed out.

Darius let out a heavy sigh, wondering when she would wake up again. He was insatiable, especially now that he got a true taste of her. They would be inseparable now. That was for sure.

[Maybe I should feed her more of my blood so that she won’t be out of commission for too long?] he ridiculously thought, making his wolf Zeus burst out in a fit of loud laughter. [It’s been a while since you laughed at me like that. It’s always you either hissing or growling at me in annoyance,] he teased.

[It’s your fault you’ve never been this happy for a long time,] Zeus fired back. [You’ve been all doom and gloom ever since that night we lost him, so how do you expect me to laugh?]

[Yes…] Darius inwardly hummed. [Do you think Xen is right? Is it time to finally tell Mother and Freya about all of it?]

[You should, just from the sole fact that they deserve to know. You’ve been keeping it to yourself far too long, and it’s already more than agonizing enough,] Zeus lightly scolded with a scoff. [Besides, let’s not watch Freya hate you for contradicting her while not knowing the truth as to why…]

Darius let out another long sigh before he buried his nose into Xen’s hair. She smelled like no other. Both sweet and refreshing, it was something that helped him relax his mind and body with each whiff.

Moving just a tad, he noted how sticky he felt, and quite frankly, so was she. Not that he minded as yet another naughty smile curved itself across his lips. Her scent was so addicting that he couldn’t help but nuzzle his nose into her even more, which was then followed by his lips as he began marking what few bare patches of skin she had left.

It was intoxicating. He simply couldn’t get enough of her soft skin, making sure that he didn’t leave any spot unmarked by his sinful mouth.

“Mmmmpph…”

Xen moaned, which made Darius continue further into his ministrations. His mouth latched onto one of her now erect nipples, sucking at it like a newborn hungry for milk as he made her groan in her sleep. Ah… Her nipples were so pink and tempting that he wouldn’t mind making them swell for him all over again.

“Darius…”

Xenia whimpered under her breath. Slowly but surely, she was awakened by the feeling of something biting her skin. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes only for them to widen as she felt Darius’s weight hovering over her, his mouth already busy sucking on her nipples.

She didn’t bother with platitudes, already biting her lips as she recalled how she passed out on him. It wasn’t because she was weak, of course. It was actually because she really was sleep-deprived last night. As such, she easily felt exhausted and dozed off at the first lapse of her concentration.

“Sorry, love. I just can’t help it,” Darius unapologetically apologized even as he crawled his way up to her face. “You’re like a delectable feast sleeping in my arms, Xen… And while I know I should let you sleep some more, I just couldn’t help but drown myself in your scent. Truly, this mouth of mine is so uncontrollable.”

“Your mouth? But how come your hands are already parting my legs?” Xenia questioned, followed by a yawn and a helpless moan as Darius suddenly touched her delicate flower.

“You’re so wet, my love… And to answer that, I simply have the urge to do something about this moisture problem of yours,” Darius murmured on her lips as he teasingly suckled her lower and upper lips alternately.

At Darius’s ministrations, Xenia’s lethargic senses were finally being shaken awake as her body shuddered at the sensations he was giving her.

“Tell me, my love, am I the only one going crazy like this for wanting you all over again?” Darius whispered against her chin, his lips suckling on her jawline while his free hand caressed one of her mounds, flicking her stiff tip teasingly with his fingers. “Or do you feel it as well?”

“No… I’m going crazy for wanting you too much as well,” Xenia directly confessed with a hitched breath. She could feel her own wetness between her thighs growing ever wetter with each passing second, and the intense need to be filled up despite the soreness of her core was threatening to make her go insane.

She could only wait in anticipation as he brushed his hard member against her slippery folds, the friction between them making her moan hard in need.

“Ahhh…”

With one swift motion, Xenia gasped as he thrust and moved his shaft snuggly into her core. There was discomfort at first, but like before, it soon faded with his every thrust. The sensation was so good and satisfying, and the familiar feeling of heat began pooling within her once more.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Relishing the sensations, her arms wrapped themselves around his neck, her nails digging deep into his back as she clung onto him like her life depended on it. In between thrusts, one of his Darius’s had released its grip on her chest, moving down instead to rub against her sensitive nub.

It was so unfair. He was way too good at this to the point that Xenia couldn’t help but wonder just where he learned all of these things.

Did he also read books about it like Jayra? She should probably read some more then, just so she could at least pleasure him in different ways as well. But right now, with the current sensations that she was feeling, coupled with his incessant rubbing on her weak spots, she felt herself building up quicker than ever before.

It was a dance. Whenever he pushed in, a sharp pleasure ran down her back. She sobbed wildly as he moved faster and faster, her toes curling up in pleasure until inevitably, an intense climax ran over her body like a ton of bricks.

She trembled and convulsed, her inner walls clamping onto his shaft tighter as she was then followed by a long and drawn-out growl from Darius. He too had reached his peak. He slumped his body on top of her as Xenia hugged him tightly, his seed spilling forth into her already filled womb from before.

“I’m… I’m so sleepy…” Xenia murmured out with a yawn.

Darius chuckled. “Alright. Go and sleep then, my love. I’ll try my best to wake you up before the sun rises. I love you…”

With a whisper, he lovingly planted a kiss on her lips as he let her have her rest. Xenia smiled at the action before she slowly dozed off to sleep once more.
