Feng Huang left, leaving Liss with a trembling wolf.
'How much did he hear'
Still in his arms, Liss turned to face Ishid. He looked miserable, as if someone had betrayed him.
Liss cupped his cheeks with her little hands, giving him a warm look.
"What's wrong? You look so sad."
Ishid leaned closer, linking their foreheads. When there were no signs of resistance, he exhaled heavily.
"Were you going to leave with him?"
"Feng Huang said that he would show me the city. I was going to see and then come back."
Liss thought that Ishid was overreacting. He clearly knew Feng Huang, and if one of the Royals of the city trusted him enough with a female's safety, it meant that he wasn't a threat. She knew their territorial behaviors, but at this point, they were holding her hostage.
"You said that you didn't want a mate."
'What does one thing relate to another? For heaven's sake, someone knock some sense into his head.'
"So that's why the three of you are hiding me?" Liss said, pushing him away. This was only possible because he loosened his grip.
"Wait, it's not like that..." Ishid raised one arm to reach the female again, longing for contact to calm his nerves, just to see the female take a step back.
"So please explain it to me."
"You... are too beautiful. If you leave... we can't." Ishid was really anxious; the normally proud male was fidgeting, trying to come up with an excuse.
"It was planned? Did the three of you agree to isolate me from the outside world?"
"It's that damned geezer's fault," he said, grinding his teeth. "Weren't you happy? We gave you all the time in the world to choose... fuck."
'So in short, they were intentionally isolating me in hopes of making me choose one of them as my mate.'
Liss thought that much... and so what? To her, the only problem was them getting on her nerves; from the start she intended to accept one of them.
"Ishid, I'm not mad, calm down," Liss said, patting Ishid's head. One look at his beautiful face painted blue was enough to melt any woman's heart.
Hearing her calm voice, Ishid felt like he could breathe again. Holding her wrist with both hands, he rubbed his cheek at the palm of her hand.
"Are you ok now, Ishid?"
He nodded, still enjoying her touch. Liss caressed his cheek with her thumb as her gaze turned to look for her shoes.
Seeing and assuming that the situation was dealt with, Liss slipped her hand out of his and walked towards the rock.
As she lowered her upper half to pick up her shoes, she felt Ishid wrapping his arms around her waist, hugging Liss in an insinuating position.
"What..." Before the alien could even grasp the situation she was in, a wet feeling ran through her nape, making her body tremble.
"Ishid..."
Her whining only fueled his ego. Leaning towards Liss's ears, their bodies were cramped tighter together.
In a low, husky voice, Ishid gave in to his desires.
"I want to be your mate."
Liss's body heated under the orc's touch. Trembling, she tried to get out of his grasp just to be pulled back again.
Ishid's hands started to roam her stomach while rubbing his face on his sweetheart's neck.
"Ishid, control yourself." Liss said while trying to hold Ishid's hands that were moving upwards.
"Haa, you want more? I've done enough"
Trailing wet kisses from her neck down to her shoulders, Ishid's self-control was wearing thin.
His breathing was growing heavier; Liss felt his hot breath against her skin, feeling her head go numb and the end of her stomach heat up.
Ishid gnawed softly on the soft skin exposed in front of him, feeling an urge grow inside of him, making his body react. Instinctively, he started softly rocking his hips, trying to find relief just to get even more heated.
The modern alien knew exactly what was happening. Her body reacted to every touch, making her rationality falter, failing to find ways to resist.
As she lost her composure, her legs gave out, separating their bodies. Breathing heavily, Ishid lifted her, laying her on his arms.
He smiled triumphantly when their eyes met. Lowering his head, he sniffed the female's stomach.
"You smell sweeter, is driving me crazy."
'My body feels hot. His touch is too intoxicating, but it's not the right time. Something is telling me that if I go all the way with him, chaos will break loose.'
"Please, calm down, please."
Liss knew that if she chose Ishid, the probability of the other two getting mad was high; there was also a possibility of them demanding to be her mates too.
Having to satisfy 3 men is scary, they are way too jealous to simply share.
"Are you afraid, sun?"
"Yes, it's my first time, and I don't want it to be like this." Liss half-lied.
"It's just right that I wait for my female to get ready." He said, nuzzling the side of her neck
'This is trouble...'
"Thank you, Ishid."
When they were back home, Levi was awake, waiting in the main room.
"Where were you?" He said to me with a light frown.
"I went to get some fresh air..."
"Feng Huang was here," Ishid said with a light smile. Feng Huang didn't seem to bother him anymore. " He will come back tomorrow."
Levi's eyes widened but said nothing. Compared with Ishid's reaction, Liss thought that maybe there was no bad blood between them, which was good.
"Is that so..."
Liss waved her hand goodbye to Levi as Ishid turned to enter his room.
Ishid's brain was filled with the sweet scent coming from his mate, lying down on his bed, his long wish had finally come to fruition. This time he didn't transform into his beast form, and he tucked himself in, cuddling her.
"This feels nice."
