Darius knew that what he was about to do was a bad idea, that he should just cut his losses and turn around lest he lost even more dignity in front of his drunken mate. However, seeing her like this was making him lose himself. There was simply no way that he could walk away from her now.

“Fine.”

With a reluctant grunt, the king lowered himself to grab a towel from Xen’s bed and pat her down. Positioning himself behind her, Darius began dabbing the towel against her bare skin, her sweat quickly diffusing into the cloth as she moaned and panted in front of him. It was ridiculous, but it was also making his blood boil.

‘What the hell am I even doing…’ he inwardly lamented.

“Hah… Thaaattt hittsss the spooottt….”

Darius flinched as he heard her moan against his touch. Well, technically, it was because of the towel, but what was even the difference at this point? Each dab he made almost made his skin crawl. It was as if the towel was practically an extension of himself, a keen desire to be close to her making him drool at the prospect of going further.

“Uhh… So hot….”

“What the-”

Without any warning, Xen suddenly dropped her dress off her shoulders, Darius’s eyes widening as she practically stripped herself bare in front of him.

“Muuuuchhh bettteeerr….”

Hearing her sigh in relief, the raging hard on beneath his pants almost threatened to rip off his pants as he inwardly seethed at the sight of her. It was demeaning. It was tempting. There was no way that he would ever be satisfied just keeping his hands off her now!

[See?! Do it!]

Ignoring his impatient wolf, Darius did his best to keep his efforts to the task at hand. There would be no taking advantage of her tonight, not after hearing her words earlier.

[Isn’t that exactly why you should do it?!] Zeus howled out. [She wants you! There’s no way she’ll resist!]

The king almost wanted to knock himself out. He knew that his wolf was right, that his mate was far too drunk to even fight him off. He could go all the way, and she wouldn’t even so much as a protest as much as she’d scream at him for more.

[See?! Why stop yourself?! You’re already thinking of doing it!]

“No… I’m a better man than that…”

“A-Ah…”

The king’s eyes snapped open wide upon hearing a rather suggestive moan come out of her lips. It took him out of his stupor, at least, but surely what he was doing wasn’t giving her any sort of pleasure.

[Look again, loverboy!]

Darius blinked at his wolf’s words. Almost hesitantly, his focus cleared up as he felt something soft and full in his hands. Sure enough, his hands were already cupping her soft breasts, her nipples as hard as diamonds as his fingers moved against his will.

‘What am I doing!?’

“D-Darrriusss….” Xenia moaned and squirmed in front of him, her throaty gasps making him even more off-balanced as his hands moved on their own.

“X-Xen…”

His tongue felt scathing hot as he leaned into her back, licking the salty sweat off the crane of her neck as he suckled on her skin. How badly he wanted to stop, to apologize for taking advantage of her in such a vulnerable state. But how could he?

He couldn’t even stop his hands from roaming her perfect body.

“A-Ahh… D-Darriuusss…”

Even from behind, he could smell the heavy scent of alcohol in her breath as she panted and moaned with his every movement. His hands were tweaking at her nipples, moving up and down her entire torso as if to envelop her in his greedy touch. The guilt in his heart grew the longer he went on, but his need to continue only spurned him to keep going.

“Daaarriuusss…”

The king groaned as he did his best to keep himself from going further. He refrained from turning her around and kissing her outright, knowing full well that doing so would render him to take her right then and there.

“Restraint… Restraint…”

Darius found himself chanting even as he let his lips scour her bare back. The salty sweet taste of her sweaty skin was making him insane, but he was at least sane enough to avoid using his eyes. Instead, he let his traitorous hands do the talking as his left hand roamed further down beneath her dress.

“A-Ahh!”

Hearing her squeal as his fingers found her wet petals, her juices drenched his fingers as he went into the attack. There was no stopping him now, even as every logical sense of his mind screamed at him to stop.

[Why stop?! Go even further beyond!]

Absolutely not!

“A-AAHH!!!”

Darius flinched as he felt Xen squirm and twitch in his embrace, he had just plunged his fingers into her, and her inner walls immediately clenched painfully tight against his digits. To think that she came as soon as he penetrated her… The notion of her insides clenching against his length was just a prospect that he wanted to find out as soon as possible!

“X-Xen…”

He growled out his own desires, his instincts raging as he kept his eyes closed. Opening them now would just show her panting for him, and he wouldn’t be able to stop himself at that point.

Still, there was no other option.

Opening her eyes, he fully expected himself to jump his mate right then and there. She was silent, but knowing her drunken self, surely she was just waiting for him to take her.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, what he found was something that was, quite frankly, to be expected.

“Xen?”

Instead of a panting and moaning mate, Darius was face to face with a woman so utterly plastered that she had passed out after one climax.

“My love…”

With a sigh, Darius hastily laid Xen down on her bed. Quickly pulling up her sheets, he made sure that she wouldn’t be cold before practically bolting out of her room. There was no way that he’d be able to sleep now. He had to cool himself off.

“Dammit, Xen,” he growled. “You’re really making this hard for me…”
