SONIA’S POV

I couldn’t breathe properly for the first few seconds of that kiss. His mouth was hot and demanding, claiming mine with a hunger that stole the air from my lungs and made my head spin.

It was so intense, I felt my hand going behind his neck before I could stop it, fingers threading through his wet hair as I pulled him closer.

Just when I was getting into it even more, he pulled back, and that wicked smirk forked on his face again.

"How did you like your first punishment?" He asked, his voice rough and teasing, his breath warm against my lips.

"I didn’t," I said, throwing my face to the side just to hide the crimson it had turned into, my cheeks burning.

He chuckled mockingly. "Sure you didn’t. I take it you don’t want to progress to the next punishment then?"

I couldn’t deny I was curious to know what it would be.

Would he lay me on the water surface, and just pleasure me?

It wasn’t even possible, was it?

"Sonia, stop it!" My sane voice screamed internally.

Yeah, I needed to get my head off the gutter.

Just because he was the alpha, who happened to be my mate, and was also stupidly handsome, didn’t mean I had to grow weak and fall for his fickle charms.

He got Lorena pregnant. I’m his mate, but I have to deal with seeing another woman pregnant for him.

It was a lot for anyone to bear. A lot for—My breath caught against my chest, and my thoughts vanished into thin air, when I felt like his fingers grazed my breasts.

I had forgotten I was completely naked until this point, the cool water lapping against my bare skin.

Slowly, my face turned until it was directly facing him.

"You’re back to earth. Have you made a choice? To be punished or not?"

My heart screamed yes, but I had to say no.

"No." I shook my head.

"You see I’d believe you if you hadn’t just trembled from a graze. Imagine the pleasure you could get from a full on—" he paused, and to drive his point home, bent his head, and swallowed one of my breasts into his mouth.

All thoughts, conscious and unconscious disappeared, as a desperate moan escaped my throat.

I clung on to him, as his tongue rolled around one nipple, and began to suck on it hard, pulling the sensitive peak deep into his mouth.

My head flung back from the heat of the moment, and my eyes rolled from pleasure, my fingers digging into his shoulders.

"So sensitive," he took a few seconds off to mutter, his breath hot against my wet skin, then dived in again.

He wasn’t being fair, and I was being a fool, but I didn’t want him to stop, and I couldn’t stop myself from responding to his touch.

My wolf would have loved this. I knew she was dying to come out.

If only she could just get through her fear, because she deserved to experience this pleasure.

He moved to the other nipple, and I almost saw the moon goddess when his tongue stroked it, sucking and biting gently before soothing with his lips.

I held on to him, moaning incoherent nonsense as he drove me to madness with his tongue, his hands gripping my waist to keep me steady in the water.

Suddenly, my thighs squeezed, and I stiffened.

He had done it again. Made me release tension just by sucking on my nipples.

I clung on to me, as a scream threatened to blast out of my mouth.

He must have sensed it, as he brought his lips on mine before I could scream, swallowing the sound as my body shook with release.

"How’s that for a punishment?" He asked when I had relaxed again, his voice husky.

"You’re horrible," I said in a slurry voice, my body still trembling.

"I’ll take that as a compliment," he said, and kissed my forehead, his lips lingering there.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked, already feeling heated again, my core aching for more.

"Because you drive me crazy."

He kissed me until I melted his arms. It wasn’t until I shivered from being in the water too long, that he let go.

"Hold on," he said.

Before what he was trying to do could register in my brain, he lifted me into his arms, as he straightened up.

"You said alpha Liam is around somewhere. Do you realize I’m naked?" I gasped, as he walked out of the water, the cool air hitting my wet skin.

"He’s gone already," he said pretty confidently for someone that had just been in the water with me, and wouldn’t exactly know if Alpha Liam had gone or not.

"And how do you know that?" I found myself asking.

"Because you were making a lot of noise. He would have gotten the message and left already."

My eyes widened in shock, and in response, he smiled.

"You’re joking, right? I—I wasn’t that loud?" I asked shyly, my cheeks burning.

He placed me on the ground, and I was shocked at how fact he had made it out of the water without me noticing.

Even more shocked, when he wrapped me up with pants, as it formed a towel around me.

"I didn’t come with a shirt. That should do," he said.

I noticed he didn’t reply to me, but I was too distracted by his nakedness to further press for an answer.

He had not asked me to relieve him, and it somehow made me want to.

I combated with that lewd thought that sprang up in my mind, and ultimately, it won.

He was so comfortable being naked in my presence. In the presence of nature.

It was like he was one with it, with how beautifully sculpted he was.

He was turned against me, using his hands to dust the water in his hair.

The second he turned to face me again, I dropped to my knees instinctively.

"What are you—"

His words trailed, when I grabbed his hardness into my hand.

"Since you’ve been horrible to me, I think it’s my turn to punish you."

He sighed, and hissed between his teeth, as I pulled him into my mouth.

I was confident I had gotten better with this, and only eager to share my new found experience.

My head shot up to look at his reaction, and our eyes locked.

His hand reached out to my hair, and began to guide me slowly.

It was gentle at first, but when I followed my instincts, and slammed him deeper into my throat, he grew ferocious.

He began to push my head back and forth.

I released my mouth until it was just at the tip, then I squeezed with my tongue.

He stiffened, and grabbed my head so tight, I thought I was surely going to lose a few strands.

His seed sprayed into my mouth, as he growled in release, hot and thick on my tongue.
