?Chapter 929:


    Alden flinched slightly, as if my touch had burned him. His face filled with astonishment. “You’re burning up even more. If this goes on, something serious will happen.”


    By now, my mind was a blur, my body consumed by searing heat, as though trapped in an inferno. The pain was unbearable. Yet Alden’s presence was like ice radiating coolness. Just being near him eased the torment within me.


    In the face of this unbearable agony, I finally lost all reason. Summoning thest ounce of strength within me, I lifted my head and pressed my trembling lips against Alden’s.


    Makenna’s POV:


    Alden froze for an instant, his cheeks blooming a vivid crimson as he gently tried to nudge me away, his voice stumbling in flustered confusion. “Ailyn, what… what on earth are you doing?”


    I gazed at Alden’s striking features, my thoughts swirling in a haze of longing, and once more leaned in to brush my lips against his. His captivating eyes widened in astonishment, but before he could gather his wits, I guided him down onto the plush sofa.


    My tongue darted past his lips, dancing with wild abandon, teasing him with the taste of closeness. Though Alden was still stunned, his strong arms instinctively encircled my waist, pulling me nearer. A ripple of warmth spread from my lips and tongue, cascading down to settle in my chest. A wild voice within me cried out, and an unfamiliar thrill teetered on the edge of breaking free.


    In a sudden burst of strength, Alden flipped me onto the cushions, reversing our positions. His breath came in ragged bursts as he rasped, “Ailyn, tell me—what do you want?”


    Lost in a fog of desire, I fumbled with his shirt, and at the sound of his voice, I flung my arms around his neck, drawing my lips tantalizingly close to his. “The aphrodisiac’s taking hold—I need you…”


    Those words lit a spark, setting an untamed fire aze in Alden’s gaze.


    “Ailyn, who am I?”


    “You’re… Alden!”


    No sooner had the name slipped from my lips than Alden imed my mouth with a fierce kiss, shedding restraint as his hands deftly peeled away my clothing. Released from their bounds, my breasts sprang free, swaying lightly. Alden stared at the rosy peaks with dazed wonder, his throat bobbing as he cupped one in his hand, drawing it to his lips. He savored it with eager sucks, licks, and yful nips, his tongue teasing the sensitive tips relentlessly.


    “Oh…”


    I couldn’t hold back the soft moans spilling from me, heat pooling between my thighs as a warm trickle betrayed my growing need. Spurred by my response, Alden grew bolder, alternating between my breasts with unrestrained fervor.


    Soaked and driven by the aphrodisiac’s pull, I clumsily tugged at Alden’s clothes, casting the bothersome fabric aside. His arousal broke free from its confines, pressing insistently against mybia, gliding back and forth in a tantalizing tease.


    “Ailyn, I… I’m not sure how to…” Alden’s voice trembled in my ear, his expression tinged with shy uncertainty.


    Before he could finish, I rolled us over, pinning him beneath me, and sank down onto his impressive length with a single, decisive motion. Alden’s thick, generous shaft filled me deeply, stretching me in ways I had never imagined.


    “Oh…” Alden’s first taste of intimacy drew a sharp gasp from him, his eyes locking onto mine with zing intensity. The tender warmth inside me clung to him, wrapping him in tight, velvetyyers that threatened to unravel hisposure.
