Chapter 231   - Two Hundred And Thirty-one: Why Are You Forgetful?

"I love you, Lia. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me" Asher confessed, the emotions in his eyes made her unable to form words to say.

"I love you too. I don't regret the first day I set my eyes on you" she finally replied, her heart was giddy just as he moved fully inside of her.

Lia gasped, the sheer length of him stretching her to the core. Her nails dug into his back due to the unfamiliar intrusion but she was so wet that she didn't even feel the pain that comes with the first time.

After she adjusted to his size, he began to move, pumping inside of her while she moved along with him.

"Oh my God," Lia moaned as he increased his pace. Her legs were wrapped tightly across his waist, anchoring him to her and her nails scratched his back with tender touches.

Lia couldn't help but bite down on his shoulder hard when the reeling sensation became too hard to handle, she could feel herself reaching her peak. He thrust into her vigorously until they both came with a loud scream and grunt.

Asher collapsed on top of her body, burying his face in her neck while she smiled, feeling fulfilled.

"Hey handsome, I want to ride you this time till you forget your name" Lia decided to be naughty by talking dirty to him.

As expected, Asher lifted his face to meet her challenge but she screamed from terror because the face staring back at her was not Asher's but Raphael's.

Lia awoke with a shrill scream that was capable of even waking up the dead. However, her world swirled immediately when she sat up; her room was spinning or maybe, she was on a rollercoaster ride. Gosh, it felt like she was suffering from the worst hangover in history.

But she hasn't drunk, not even a sip, so why was she feeling this way?

Her mind at once flashed back to that incense Asher had lit last night, perhaps this was the side effect of inhaling those smoke. She made a mental note to remind Asher of the adverse effect of that medicinal incense or whatever he called it.

After resting for a while, the dizzy spell eventually went away but her stomach roared terribly with hunger. Rising to her feet, Lia took in her environment and discovered she was back in her room.

Lia couldn't help but smile, her mate Asher was too considerate. Having known she would oversleep, he had Dan send her home before her mom found out about her disappearance.

The hybrid took off her clothes and headed to the bathroom to carry out her usual morning ritual. She couldn't help but trace those spots on her shoulder where Asher had dropped hickies that had healed already- perks of being a hybrid.

If her mom saw those, she would definitely give her an earful if she doesn't have her do a pregnancy test.

The memories of last night brought a smile to her lips, there was just something different about Asher yesterday - something wilder, dangerous yet sexy.

But the memory of the dream extinguished all signs of bliss from her face. That was one hell of a spooky dream! Thinking about it alone sent goosebumps to her spine.

Thankfully, it was just a dream and not a reality.

"Oh my God," Lia, dressed in her white bathrobe with deep pockets had just stepped into her room only to sight the man in her thoughts on her bed oozing sex appeal effortlessly.

"Gosh, why do you always like to sneak up on me?" she complained, removing her hand from her chest.

Asher chuckled, the sound of his sexy voice sending delicious shivers down her spine. Why did she seem super horny today? Maybe it was Lolli's manipulation but the wolf in question had not made her appearance since yesterday, it was almost as if she was sleeping.

Perhaps, she had stressed the poor wolf during her stay in Kinney village? It wouldn't be bad to give her some rest. So Lia switched to her vampiric side only to discover she was craving blood like crazy.

Well, hello, dinner just walked in.

"What are you doing here, Asher?" She asked while using her toes to tactically pick her discarded clothes from earlier, pushing the heap to the side of her wardrobe.

"Why? You don't want me here?" He asked.

"Are you kidding me?" Lia laughed, "Left for me alone, I'll have you by my side for eternity"

"Left for me alone, I'll love to be the air you breathe, the air that caresses your skin, the air that you can't do without"

For a moment, silence reigned between them, Lia was struck dumb.

"As much as your words sound sweetly romantic, mate, I can't kiss nor fuck air so I'll rather be with you the way you are" Lia spoke in-between laughter, she just found his words hilarious.

"Also, how much of these honeyed words did you learn during my absence? Trust me, as much as I love those cheesy lines, I'll rather have my amorous sharp-tongued Asher back" she informed him, climbed onto the bed, and walked towards him on all fours.

Unknown to Lia, Raphael had a displeased disposition. He realized he had made a mistake but he was lucky that the girl wasn't suspecting, he would be more careful from now on.

His eyes darkened when he saw her crawl to him like a panther, feasting her eyes on her prey, deciding on the best way to pounce on him.

Raphael couldn't help but chuckle mirthlessly, his brother was blessed. So this was what he has been missing out on all this while.

He fought against his elongating fangs, wanting to mark her as his before fucking her brain out; bonding with her finally as one in body and soul.

But no matter how much he wanted her, he had to get rid of that Daniel first. He would give himself out the instant he tried to force himself on her. Asher the perfect gentleman would never force her to do anything against her wish.

Or he could wait patiently until the incense did its work and he wouldn't even need to worry about her desiring him.

"About that incense," Lia raised the topic, resting her chin on his chest since she was lying beside him on the bed.

Raphael almost thought she had somehow read his mind until she added.

"I don't think I would like to use that ever again, it made me feel horrible this morning. I had these throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, and no, relaxing or not, do not use that on me?"

His face squinched sincerely, "That's surprising, it did nothing to me at all"

Lia breathed, "That must be because my body works differently, I'm a hybrid- a made one" she pointed out.

Yeah, that must be it. The witch should put more into consideration when making the new and improved version of the incense.

Maybe, he should consider changing it into a perfume- something fancier and in a bottle plus a gift from Asher. The girl wouldn't hesitate to accept and use the gift from her beloved.

"No problem, I wouldn't use it on you any longer- without your consent"

Lia's heart warmed, Asher was really good to her, "I don't deserve you nor Daniel," she shook her head.

"You both are so understanding and good to me. Who am I to receive all this?"

"You're my mate, you deserve the best. If anything, I'm the one who doesn't deserve anything" he told her.

Unfortunately, the trusting Lia didn't notice the use of his singular possessive pronoun. The original Asher would always try to remind her that she was his as much as she was to Daniel.

She bit down on her lips," Also, I'm thirsty"

"You want to feed on me?"

She nodded and watched her mate smile- if only she knew the reason behind that smile.

The universe was helping him out today, how lucky he was. All his motives for coming over to her place were being achieved one after the other.

Lia was enthralled viewing his long, lean, and nimble fingers work on his buttons, it was so sexy she bit down on her lips, her blood throbbing with anticipation.

This made her notice how different she was with both mates- Daniel and Asher.

Daniel was like the perfect romantic boyfriend; he was warm, caring, gentle, and catering to all her needs. He was everything those romantic authors would describe in their books, so cheesy yet Lia loved it.

Unlike Asher who was like a burning flame with that smoldering look, it was enough to bring her down to her knees. Asher was not the type to bring her flowers like Daniel but one thing was for sure, he was passionate about what or who he likes.

So while Daniel was like the warm sun caressing one's skin, Asher was the flame that burned to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Raphael asked when she tried to kiss him, "Aren't you going to feed first before we move to other things"

Lia who was sitting astride him threw her hands up, "Weren't you the one who always told me to arouse you before feeding on you? Why are you suddenly forgetful?
