Chapter 303 A Lifetime of Commitment*

As much as her body didn’t want to do so just yet, Xenia found herself waking up at dawn due to her growing urge to pee. Grumbling, she managed to free herself from Darius’s embrace without waking him as she made her way to the privy.

Feeling herself, she was sore all over due to the countless amounts of lovemaking she did with her husband. They were both so unquenchable with their needs that every minute they spent together seemed very important to them. They didn’t want to idle for even the slightest, electing to enjoy each other’s bodies for as much as they could.

In the private privy chamber inside their chamber, Xenia ended up cleaning herself along with doing her business, seeing as she was still practically drenched with their combined love fluids. After cleaning herself up, she then covered herself up with a robe.

Going out, instead of walking back to bed, Xenia elected to head to the full-body sized mirror installed in the chamber. She then slightly pulled down the silk covering her naked body and smiled, admiring the mark her husband had put between her neck and shoulder.

She raised her hand, gently touching the peculiar mark on her skin. She bet that it was quite a magnificent mark when it came to its design, and leaning in further to look at it more closely, she saw how it was quite different from Jayra’s mark. Xenia understood how each pack had its own symbol and mark, and she could only assume that hers would be different as well. It was a bit dark so she couldn’t properly see the details on her mark, but surely it was beautiful.

She closed her eyes, recalling the unexplainable feeling she had the moment that she felt Darius’s fangs sink into her skin. It all happened so fast that she felt a strong surge of energy coursing through her body, the suddenness of it causing her to pass out before she could even relish the feeling.

“Hmm, I’ll look at it closely tomorrow morning.” She opened her eyes, once again staring at the mark with a satisfied smile on her face.

With that out of the way, Xenia then turned around to join her husband back on the bed, snuggling herself into his warmth as she hummed in satisfaction. It just felt so good to be in his arms like this. She had no plans in escaping her husband’s arms for the rest of tomorrow before she eventually left for the trials. Who knew when she’d be able to come back into his arms like this? But one thing was for sure though… She would do her utmost not to take too long.

A few hours passed…

***

Darius had already gotten up from the bed and cleaned himself up first before instructing Dale to arrange for breakfast inside of his chamber. He had no plans to leave their bedroom at all for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, he would need to send Xen to the Element Forest, and he wanted their remaining hours to be spent on nothing except solely spending time with her.

Looking back to the bed, Xen was currently sleeping soundly in all of her naked glory. Even though he was aching to touch her, Darius controlled himself from doing so. He was well-aware of how her body was overly exhausted from their escapades, and he wanted her rested up for as much as possible.

“Maybe a few more minutes…” he murmured as he gently laid back on the bed just so he could stare closely and drown himself in her beauty. And that was not to mention her alluring and addictive scent that still lingered in his nostrils.

Smiling, Darius absently admired his mate’s sleeping form. She was very peaceful in her sleep, and he could also feel how calm and collected her emotions were while she was sleeping.

A few minutes later, Dale knocked on their door, and Darius let them prepare the breakfast on the table. Once that was done, he then instructed them to leave instantly.

Alone with his wife once more, he moved to rest his elbow on the bed, his knuckles propping up his chin as he continued to stare at his mate… that was now officially his wife.

Xen moved, the bedsheet covering her body slipping down and inadvertently giving him a better view of her wonderful upper body under the light rays seeping through his bedchamber. He smiled as he saw the visible mark on her shoulder… It was beautiful; a permanent symbol indicating she was his wherever she went.

“This won’t do,” Darius breathed out, gently moving closer to her before showering her skin with soft and gentle kisses on her face all the way down to her neck. “It’s so hard to control myself when there’s a feast like this in front of me.”

Making his way down to her shoulder, he stopped particularly over the mark he had created, lovingly licking it with extra care. She smelled so good and delectable that he spared no inch of her skin untouched from all the loving nudging of his nose, followed by the feathery kisses that he did alongside all the licking and suckling. He loved every part of her, and he couldn’t stop worshipping her glorious body as he continued his ministrations on his sleeping wife.

Xenia, on the other hand, unconsciously moaned when she felt something pleasurable happening to her body. She slowly opened her eyes, squinting them tenderly as she adjusted to the sudden light that greeted her.

She wasn’t even done waking up when she felt the wet sensation building up between her thighs. Supporting her upper body with her elbows, she raised her head a bit, only for her eyes to widen as she watched Darius’s head diving deep in between her thighs. He was holding her legs firmly, spreading them wide as his tongue assaulted her slick pussy.

“Lov-Ahhhhh!”

She screamed as the sudden assault of his tongue inside her core pushed her over the edge. She helplessly slammed her upper body back on the bed, her body suddenly feeling weak from his ministrations. Her body was trembling, and her breath hitched from the unexpected climax.

“You’re too wet, my love,” Darius seductively whispered on her entrance before licking and suckling on her nub.

Her lower body started moving on its own when she felt Darius’s tongue thrust itself into her aching cave once more, his thumb continuously rubbing her clit in a two-pronged assault against her person. The pleasure was too much that before she knew it, her body convulsed in yet another climax, her juices oozing out so much that Darius determinedly lapped it all clean.

Still shivering, she grabbed Darius’s head and pulled him up on top of her.

“What a way to wake me up…” she murmured out with a pout, but her words were quickly followed by a loud gasp when Darius’s without warning suddenly slammed his hard rod deep inside of her.

He bore that roguish grin he always had as he whispered, “There’s no way you’re getting out of this bedchamber today, my love. We’ll stay here for the whole day and night, making love without pause.”

Smiling, Xenia simply pulled him, kissing his lips passionately as he rocked her to yet another burst of euphoria that only he himself could give. She wondered how the two of them would last not seeing each other during the trial, and she could only hope that she’d even survive.

[That’s why you shouldn’t take too long to come back to me…] Darius answered her through their mind link.

[I’ll do my best. That, I promise you,] Xenia answered back even as they continued merging their bodies into one, not only physically, but emotionally. A connection not just by the passion of love, but by a lifetime of commitment for one another.
