Chapter 455: Noble Guard

Thanks to the incident, Asher had made an executive decision: she was not going to be alone anymore. Not even in the bathroom.

"What if you suddenly manifest another ability?" he had said. "Someone has to be there. To do something. Anything."

Why were her powers suddenly manifesting now? Alaric believed the binding her mother placed on her was finally loosening. Asher thought it was the matebond with Griffin. Griffin was a strong wolf, and it wasn’t surprising if her instincts were pushing her to match him. More often than not, strength called to strength.

Either way, she was going to have each of the guys around her at all times. Although she wondered how this would work out once they returned to school on Monday. Others can’t know they’re together yet. It would cause commotion and disrupt the Matebond they were trying to trigger here.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was how Alaric Storm ended up standing right outside her see-through shower stall with his back turned, arms crossed, and jaw tight as he stood guard while she bathed.

Unfortunately, that was awkward as hell.

"Greetings, noble guard." Violet purred, her voice lilting with mischief as she stepped forth from the misty confines of the stall.

Alaric turned at the sound only to freeze, thunderclouds gathering in his eyes.

She stood there unashamed, glistening with droplets that clung to her naked skin.

Her hair, soaked and clinging to her temple, framed her flushed face. But his gaze, traitorous as ever, dropped down and traced the rivulets that trailed boldly down her curves, one rolling across her breast and curling beneath the rosy peak of her nipple. His growl was low, and feral, a crackle of lightning dancing at his fingertips.

"Careful now," Violet said lightly, her tone teasing yet edged with warning. "I’d rather not be roasted alive in thine attempt to keep watch. There’s water everywhere, after all."

Violet had learned the old English and it was quite a delight when he responded in the same fashion.

Alaric cleared his throat. "Hast thou need of aught?" he asked, voice gravelly and forced.

Violet tilted her head, eyes glimmering with a wicked glint. "This lady doth wonder, noble knight, wilt thou not join her in this bath of steam?"

Alaric’s jaw tightened. He knew this game. "A thousand pardons, my lady," he replied with feigned solemnity, "but Lord Nightshade hath charged me with thy protection. Should I stray from duty, it shan’t be but my honor forfeit, but perchance my very head. And thou knowest how wrathful thy lord may be."

Ooh, he was good at this. Sweet.

Violet laughed. "Surely, thou dost not tremble at the shadow of another man?" She leaned against the stall’s edge, droplets sliding down her body like temptation made flesh. Her gaze smoldered. "And is it not unseemly to leave a lady in... need?"

She lowered her voice to a sultry whisper. "Mayhap we make this our little secret, dear noble guard." Violet punctuated the invitation by slowly rolling her nipples between her fingers, her eyes dark with wicked promise as she shot Alaric a look that said come ravish me now.

And that was it. That seemed to break through Alaric’s control.

He burst into the shower stall, walking Violet backwards until her back hit the wall. Alaric Storm wasn’t as broad as the others, but he was an Alpha and filled out well enough and right now, the stall felt too small with him in it.

Not just that, his scent—ozone and rain-soaked earth with a lingering warmth of amber—saturated the space. It was all she could breathe in, and it made her heady.

Then Alaric latched his mouth onto her breast, and Violet’s head lulled back in bliss. Yes. That felt so good.

He pulled the whole of her areola into his mouth, making deep noises at the back of his throat as he sucked her nipple relentlessly, his hand squeezing her other breast with firm possession. Violet moaned, her fingers digging into his hair as her core throbbed with aching need.

She wanted him badly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
