Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 114

Lily's POV

"What's wrong, Lily?"

One question and that was all it took for me to be transported back to the morning when I had found out that everything that had been between me and Cade had been a lie. It had been a school day like any other and I had woken up with a bright smile on my face, once again unable to believe that Cade was mine but secure in the knowledge that he belonged to me wholeheartedly.

I had walked majestically into the school premises and then the laughters had started in the hallway. It had been discreet at first and then it started to get louder and more specific as people stared at me with unhidden amusement like I was a clown whose show they paid to watch.

I had indeed been a clown. I had been a massive fool and there was nothing that I could do to take back that day no matter how many times I remembered it and wished that it had never happened.

I thought I had healed. I thought I was over this... apparently, I thought wrong.

The weight of the emotions that had engulfed me that day seemed to crash on me all over again and I clutched his shirt, a sob escaping my lips until I was full out bawling, my entire body shaking.

Tears trickled down my cheeks in full force, blurring my vision but I could see Ren's confusion and feel his immediate panic through our bond as he led me back into the room, quickly dropping the tray of food before rushing back to the bed to pull me in to a bone crushing hug, rubbing my back as he murmured the sweetest and kindest words.

"Did I do something wrong, baby?" He whispered gently, kissing my temple and i burrowed my face deeper into him. "Did I hurt you?"

The fact that he asked me even though he could have just opened my mind and ransacked my thoughts for the answer just proved how much I did not even deserve to be with this man.

I didn't even deserve to be sitting with him when I had not even healed from what Cade had done to me and this breakdown was more than enough proof that I may never actually get over it and would have post traumatic stress symptoms for the rest of my life. "Please talk to me, sweetheart. If you're hurting anywhere, allow me to fix it. Are you hurting?"

"No, I'm fine." I answered shakily, finally looking up at him and I saw his lips turn down in a frown at my swollen eyes.

"Then why are you crying?" He whispered. "Talk to me."

"I... I thought you left me. When I woke up and didn't see you, I was so scared and thought you had left me."

He looked confused and he kissed me softly.

"Why would I leave my own home baby?"

Oh...

Wait...

I mentally facepalmed myself.

Of course.

If only I had even thought about that before jumping to conclusions I would have realized how foolish it was to even think that Ren had abandoned me when I was literally in his house and in his bedroom. The fuck was he going to go?

"It's normal to panic if you're away from your bonded merely hours after mating but why would you even believe that I would abandon you, sweetheart?"

Knowing that the only way to be able to let him understand why I was like this was to explain even though the last thing I wanted to do was remember Cade, I explained to him about my relationship as vaguely as I could without mentioning Cade's name. He was a prince afterall. Chances that they were at least cordial with each other have to be taken into consideration. I didn't want to be responsible for messing with any political ties that will prove useful in the future.

"Just when I thought he really liked me, I found out it was a bet." I ended and looked down at the bed, too embarrassed to look up at Ren.

The silence in the room was almost deafening.

This is it. The last straw huh?

And just as I braced myself for indignation, for annoyance, for frustration, for him to realize that I was broken beyond repair, I was more trouble than I was worth.

But all I sensed for him was love and patience. He rose to his feet and stretched out his hand to help me up.

When I took it, he pulled me to him and I gasped at how close our bodies were as he tilted my chin to kiss me slow and gentle.

Our bond hummed with satisfaction and his fervent need to prove himself. To prove his love to me.

I shivered, all the way to my toes.

"It seems I have to do a lot more to convince you that you are mine and I'm yours and I don't mind. We have the rest of our lives for me to show you that my entire heart belongs to you and no one else."

Leading me to the bathroom, he took off my robe gently, watching me from the gigantic mirror that stared back at us and I would have felt shy if I didn't see the desire in his eyes as he looked at me.

Slowly, he came to stand in front of me and I watched, spell bound as he stripped until all of his toned, muscular body was bare before me and I gasped at the beauty of him, knowing that I would never be able to get enough of Ren no matter what. Leading me into the gigantic tub, he lowered himself into the water and led me inside, placing me between his legs as he added soap and oils that smelled exactly like the ones I used at home.

"Yeah, I got them because they reminded me of you." He said simply and my heart swelled with so much love and I turned around to straddle him, groaning when he rinsed the soap from my breasts with the mobile shower head and took one of my n*****s into his mouth, suckling gently.

I moaned, throwing my head back and allowed him to gently scrub and massage my body until all my muscles were limp with desire.

"Ride me." He whispered in my ear and I groaned, reaching into the warm water to see that he was hard and ready for me.

I stroked him slowly as he threw his head back, desire in his eyes until he lost all that carefully cultivated self control he possessed. He lifted me and we both groaned as he lowered me on to his d**k, inch after slow inch until he was deeply seated in me. We both let out breathless groans that were accompanied by short pants and rasps of breaths.

Eyes locked on mine, he leaned forward to kiss the mark on my neck and I held him to me, feeling even more connected than before.

"Oh gods," he let out a deep, throaty moan that vibrated through my chest as he gripped my a*s, holding me tight. "So good. It feels so good like this."

This feeling. This love. There's nothing like this. I'm going to explode.

Resting my hands on his shoulders, I began to move, my eyes on his.

"Yes, baby," he encouraged, holding up my hair. "Just like that."

I gasped as the bond between us burned brighter and brighter.

"I am not him, do you understand me?" He whispered as he grabbed my hips and increased the pace and I nodded with a gasp, my spine tingling with pleasure.

"I will never leave you. I will never abandon you. You are mine, Lily. Do you understand that?" He asked, gripping my hair as his golden brown eyes, darker with lust, found mine. "You own me. You're everything to me. I can't live with myself if you get hurt by my hands. I will never ever do anything to cause you pain. Tell me. Tell me you understand, Lily," he growled into my neck as he pulled me closer and closer. As we both skirted through the precipice of desire induced oblivion.

"Yes," I whispered, realizing for the nth time that I was foolish to have ever thought Ren would leave me. "I love you, you know that?"

"f**k yes, baby."

"And you love me?"

"I love you, Lily. Now and always."

When I nodded, it felt like a door opened and I felt all of his emotions swim into me even as he f****d me, his love, lust and pure adoration making my heart want to burst with love.

And then there were no more words. Just the slick sound of skin against skin as I held on to him, his hand on my c**t and the other guiding me up and down and when I came, the only word on my lips was his name. The only conviction in my heart was his love for

me.
