The Alpha's Bride

Chapter 1045 Alpha Violet (6)

1045  Alpha Violet (6)

Ashton looked at Violet and he could pick up all the amazing emotions he hoped for, but there was a tinge of doubt and insecurities. Was she insecure about him? Or were those his emotions?

No, no… definitely hers.

"Vi," he called. "Are you overthinking things?"

"Easy for you to say because you know what to do."

"What makes you think I know? Didn't I tell you I spent five years away without touching a woman?"

Violet's eyes roamed his face, and she was unsure if she wanted to hear the answer, but she had to ask. "What about before that?"

Ashton shook his head. "I was never with a woman, Vi."

"How is that possible?"

"I just entered my teens when I had a heart-to-heart with Talia, I mean... your mom." Somehow, now that Talia was his mother-in-law, it didn't feel right to address her casually. "I was telling her how girls were annoying and that maybe if I gave them what they wanted, they would stop chasing me. Your mother said that intimacy is like giving a piece of yourself, and one should be careful to whom they give themselves. She also said that intimacy is meaningful only when done with the person you really care about. She told me that when I meet my mate, I will realize how shallow all other experiences were and I will regret them. I thought about it. I would be lying if I said I was saving myself for my mate, but I took it one day at a time and before I knew it, it was my eighteenth birthday and…"

"And?" Violet urged him to continue.

"Every woman I looked at was repulsing. Even if they had long black hair, endlessly blue eyes, perfectly white skin, and an adorably perky nose, they were not my Violet Blake, the only woman I really cared about."

Violet's insides turned into mush. "Are you saying I will be your first?"

"I said that two minutes ago, but you didn't believe me."

"You were speaking in riddles."

"I was?"

Violet raised her hand and ran her fingers through Ashton's light brown hair. "You spent five years 22:42

away from home, fighting rogues. It must have been hard for you."

"You never gave me a straightforward answer. Ever since we were kids, you would talk in a roundabout way and I needed to come to my own conclusions."

Ashton chuckled. "Would it be better if I said I was a virgin?"

"It would make this chat shorter, and we could work on fixing that."

They both laughed and Violet relished the intimacy they shared.

She was lying on her back with Ashton next to her. He was sideways with his head propped on his elbow.

They were naked and his erection was pointing her way, but it was not awkward, not even a little bit.

There was familiarity, comfort, and mutual acceptance, and she couldn't believe that she didn't see it before he left. Yes, she was only thirteen, but Ashton never made her nervous or upset and he was always there to comfort her and provide guidance when needed. She was too young to sense they were mates, but if she paid attention to the signs, she would know he was her home.

Violet raised her hand and ran her fingers through Ashton's light brown hair. "You spent five years away from home, fighting rogues. It must have been hard for you."

"Not as hard as watching you naked on the bed and me doing nothing about it."

"Why don't you do something about it?"

Ashton's brows came together as he processed her words. Violet was an Alpha, with a bloodline stronger than his, yet she was letting him take the lead. She was willingly submissive and he wondered if this was real or just another of his dreams. What she was doing was the ultimate show of trust and he felt the pinch at the back of his throat from the emotions that swelled within him.

He licked his lips and looked down her body all the way to her toes, and then back up slowly as if he wanted to memorize every curve of her body. She was beautiful.

"I imagined this moment so many times," Ashton said, his voice now deeper by an octave. "And now that we are here, I'm not sure where to start."

"Kiss me, Ash. Start from there."

Her attention darted to his Adam's apple that bobbed when he swallowed hard, and her eyes widened when he moved to hover above her.

"Close your eyes," he said.

"That's not happening. I want to see you. I don't want to miss a single thing."

Violet opened her emotions fully, allowing him to feel everything she was going through.

Ashton whimpered when he felt the amount of love Violet had for him. "You were hiding all this so far?"

"You are not the only one who waited for your mate," Violet responded. "For the last five years, I was wondering who my other half is and if he will treat me right, and now that I've found you… I loved you from the day I was born. Don't make me wait anymore, Ash."

"Let me know if I'm making you uncomfortable or if I'm hurting you."

"The same goes for you."

Ashton closed the gap between them and her eyes fluttered to close when their lips connected.

There was an explosion of sparks right in the middle of her chest and she guessed it was the same for him because he didn't move for a few long seconds.

Did he know that was her first kiss? Was it the first kiss for him? Violet tried not to think about it. He already told her that he never had sex before, and that should be enough. More than enough.

She didn't think about it before, but the fact that Ashton was also inexperienced made her less inadequate. That was another sign he was exactly what she needed, her other half.

Little by little, Ashton's lips glided over Violet's, with a bit more confidence by the heartbeat, and she could feel his arms moving around her, pulling her on him.

They both quivered when their bodies connected because the sparks of the bond worked both ways and amplified each other.

She had no idea what she was doing. When did he move on top of her? When did her hands end up on his back? It was a glorious back, full of firm muscles.

Ashton couldn't believe how good it felt to have Violet in his arms. She was like a fresh spring breeze that carried the scents of the forest and wildflowers. The best part was Violet's body coiling around him, welcoming him.

After so long away from home, he finally felt at home, with Violet.

Ashton told himself to take his time. Don't rush. Online articles said that foreplay was important for females. But the scent of her arousal was driving him mad, he was between her legs, and she was pulling him down on her.

He swallowed her whimper when he pressed his erection at her core, and he wondered if she the pushing and prodding down there. It was happening.

22:43

The push turned into pressure and the friction came with sparks that soothed the pain right away, disliked it but then her hips moved, and he felt heat and juices spreading over his shaft. It all came with the addictive sparks of their bond and he thought he will come right there that instant.

"Fuck!" Ashton cursed under his breath and dove to kiss her deeper than before, this time his tongue moved in the rhythm of his hips as he was grinding himself on her.

"Vi," he called.

"Yes, Ash?"

"Are you ready?"

"Can't you feel my emotions?" And it was more than emotions. Her body was on fire, and she was a bit nervous but mostly super horny.

"I need to hear you say it, Vi. I need to hear you will spend your forever with me."

Violet gasped when Ashton opened his side of the bond, and she felt his sincerity.

"Yes, Ash. Forever. The two of us will spend forever together."

He smiled and went down to kiss her again and her arms snapped around him firmly when she felt the pushing and prodding down there. It was happening.

The push turned into pressure and the friction came with sparks that soothed the pain right away, leaving only pleasure behind.

Ashton groaned without breaking the kiss and he continued pushing until he was sheathed fully inside her.

He raised his head a bit to see her face. Her eyes were firmly closed, and there was a tear rolling down her temple.

Ashton kissed the tear away. It tasted like happiness because Violet was happy.

"You feel like heaven," he murmured close to her ear, and she released a shaky sigh.

He started rocking his hips slowly while reminding himself to stay in control and not act like a savage.

This right here, the feeling of Violet all around him and him being deep inside her… it was everything.
