His Reluctant Luna

Alice (POV) -

I don't know what got into me. I stripped off my tee, followed by my sweatpants. Fumbling with the clasp of my bra. I released my breasts. His eyes widened; I have a slim body, but I am top-heavy. It is surprising for others when they find unexpected curves under my dress. My nipples tightened to attention in the chilled air of the room. My panties followed. I could sense his breathing getting heavy. I could not help smiling slightly. I stood silent and straight before him, nervous, the flush of my sudden nudity tinting my skin.

Lucian finally moved from his position, but he did not approach me. Instead, he walked towards a dresser and picked up something.

A whip? Some degrading sex toys?

I had no idea what kind of sick person he was, but if he hurt me, I was not staying, no matter what. He returned carrying God knows what. His eyes fell on me again. I blushed under that heated gaze.

"My God! How lovely you are," he said almost to himself as he walked around me.

I sucked in a breath when he lightly touched my quivering breasts. I closed my eyes, biting my lip.

I felt something snapping on my hardened nipple, "Ah! What...." I gasped, looking down at a cloth clip on my nipple.

"What the hell are you doing," I said, stepping back, resulting in a sharp jab in my clipped nipple as he was still holding it.

"Ouch!" I cried out.

He held me by my elbow.

"Do not move, without my permission," he hissed.

His hand inched towards the other nipple, holding it firmly between his fingers, the clip snapped into place, pinching the sensitive flesh between the flats of the wooden sides. Both my nipples throbbed angrily against their unforgiving ornaments, in a very sensual way. It was not too bad.

'Great! Now I am as pervert as my wolf.' I thought.

"Now, you are going to tell me why you are being punished," his voice was low and stern, yet silky.

I struggled to focus on him, ignoring the fresh pain in my nipples.

"For calling you a pervert, which you are," I hissed.

His eyes narrowed into slits.

He gripped my chin firmly with a slight tug. Forcing a to look up. I rolled my eyes defiantly and stared back at him.

"That is not how you answer a question. Try again." He spoke.

I gritted my teeth, doing my silent defiance.

He signed, then dropped his hand from my chin and twisted the clips on my nipples.

I yelped and spat out, "please stop. I will not call you that again. I am sorry."

My breathing was ragged, and I had never been so turned on in my life! He relaxed the twist and continued.

"It is not good to disrespect your Alpha, is it?"

"No sir."

"Good girl," he drawled.

"Now you are going to explain why you ran away from me?"He said in that same mocking tone.

He paused to run his fingers along with the clips, the slight movement sent tremors down my breast.

"If I am not happy with your explanation, you'll have to give it more thought, and we'll repeat this tomorrow."

I fidgeted, chewing on my lip," I didn't want a mate," I said softly.

The discomfort in my nipples and his stern, expectant stare did nothing to help.

"That I am aware, why don't you want me? I am your mate. You have to want me."

"I..... I was scared that you would claim me, then force me to stay with you. So, I ran away."

The clips seemed heavier and tighter with each passing moment.

He sensed my discomfort and smiled in sadistic amusement, "well, you still ended up with me. I don't have my answer...yet, and it has been five minutes," he said. "I don't know," I said dejectedly.

"Is that the best explanation you can give me? Looks like you enjoy wearing these clips," he said silkily, staring at my chest.

Frankly, I think he could not take his eyes off them, he had been staring at them ever since I took my bra off.

"I still don't have my answer, do you want to be spanked instead?" He smirked. "No! Please no!" I struggled to grasp.

"I.... I...am afraid, that I might not like my mate, I might be forced to live according to him, and....." I stopped, my nipples were screaming now, my mind raced with pleadings to remove the clips.

He raised an eyebrow as if appalled by my explanation.

"I prefer not to be weak. If I lose my mate, I will go mad with grief or kill myself, as my mother did." I said softly, tears sprung in my eyes, not due to the pain. I was just overwhelmed with emotions. Furthermore, I had never told this to anyone.

I felt him shift from his position.

He gently removed the clips and pulled me into his arms. My breasts throbbed hotly against his chest, and he ran his hands gently over my back, my bottom. I cried quietly in his arms, burying my face into his shirt for comfort.

Lucian POV -

Damm! I overdid it.

It was not supposed to end this way. I was just trying to bring her out of her shell, and spill out her fears, her secrets. Yeah, I needed to take out my anger as well, but I wanted to avoid hurting her.noveldrama

Restraining myself was painful. Never had I come across a woman as beautiful as her.

Who would have guessed, she kept a body like that hidden under those clothes. Her entire structure, from her shoulders to her firm breasts, the curve of her ribs, the taunt navel, the flaring hips, her thighs. They were glorious!

"Don't do that again, do not run away from me," I said, trying to keep my hands in the safe areas. Though nothing was safe considering, she was naked. Thanks to my perverseness.

"Otherwise, what?" She snapped, looking up from my chest. Her eyes were still streaming with tears.

"Otherwise, what? Lucian? You will tie me up and spank me? Is that your idea of gaining my respect and love?"

The idea was not bad, the image of her all tied up and ready was quite appealing. I shook my head, to dispel that thought.

"Alice! It is not like that... I am your mate, do not deny your attraction. I know it's there."

She squirmed to come out of my embrace, I released her, the pain of losing that skin contact hit my wolf and me instantly. Jake groaned in mourning.

"Yes, I know we are mates! So what? Does it mean I must crawl at your feet? Or degrade me to live according to your.... perverse ideas."

I ran my hand through my hair, mainly to keep them off her and to keep my eyes away from that lovely rack.

"Alice, you very well know that you want me, your arousal can be sniffed by every single male in this building. I don't know why you are denying it."

"I barely know you! How can I sleep with you?" She said, folding her hands.

"We are wolves, Alice, that is how things are done among wolves. We find our mates; we copulate then mark each other and that is it. If we were incompatible, we would not be mates. But if you want to do it humanly, then fine. We will do it that way. What do want me to do? Go on a date?"

Jake, my wolf, was as confused as me. He had no idea about human sensibilities. Currently, he was urging me to claim her, and it took all my willpower to keep myself in check.

"Now, I would like to get dressed. I can't have a conversation like this." She flushed.

I nodded, and I agreed, I would not be able to hold myself for long either.

"I am going to take a shower, we'll go down for dinner after that, or would you prefer it in the room?"

"I would like to have it with others." She replied immediately as if my company sickened her.

"You should have claimed her, she would become nice to you then." My wolf said

to me.

"Shut up, Jake," I said to my wolf as I proceeded to take a cold shower.
