---- I take a deep breath, inhaling the delicious scent of his pheromones intoxicating my senses, and I shamelessly run my hands over him.


    "Baby, please, have a little mercy on me, Valeria," he whispers hoarsely, lowering his head to bury it in the crook of my neck.


    "You started provoking me, King Lycan," I tilt my head to the side, granting him ess to my neck for his passionate kisses.


    His hands roam down my spine to the small of my back, then firmly grasp both of my ass cheeks, pulling me closer against him, dominant, rubbing his hard, ready member against me, promising the most thrilling pleasure.


    My nipples brush against his powerful chest, and my fingers tangle into his silky red hair, the same shade as the sunset on the horizon.


    "Lets run already, I just...


    [just need my bootsMmm," I moan when he yfully nibbles on my chin.


    "I promise I behave." I tell him, and he straightens up, looking at me with lust, passion, and something far moreplex lurking in his gray eyes.


    "I love you, woman.


    You have no idea how much I desire you, Valeria," he suddenly confesses.


    His heavy breath fans over my lips as his finger traces them.


    My heart pounds hard at his explicit deration of love, and our bodies meld into a tight embrace.


    "Tf you want to be the Queen of the world, I1ly it at your feet, my Selenia.


    Dont be afraidIll always be at your back, supporting you." Alump forms in my throat.


    This brute, wild lycan is mine, only mine, and Iwouldnt trade him for anything or anyone.


    ---- Then your Queen asks you to help her take off her boots.


    Can you obey?" I tease, expecting some sarcastic response, but what he does nextpletely disarms me.


    Aldric kneels before me, one knee sinking into the grass while the other supports him as he takes my leg and rests my boot on it.


    "Wait, my wolf, you dont have to do thatit was a joke, Aldric," I say, surprised, cing my hands on his shoulders for bnce.


    "For me, its never been a joke, Valeria," he says seriously, looking up at meas his fingers gently undo theces of my tall ck boots, helping me take them off.


    "From the moment you walked through the doors of my castle, I knew you were mine.


    Even though I tried to resist, you ll always be mine.


    My wolf and I surrender to you willingly, Valeria Von Carstein.


    On my knees, I swear my loyalty and fidelity to youwe will never betray you.


    Wed rather die first."
