CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs

«Then, what happened?» Lara asked.

She did remember everything very well until the kiss. Nate had then carried her to the bed, but... What later?

Oh, well, she could guess. But she also wanted to feel everything again. To recall the feeling of being complete.

«You don't remember?»

«From this moment on, things get cloudy. At some point, there's a void of a few hours, and I wake up in the morning with a headache.»

«No headache tomorrow!» he promised.

What had he done to make her head hurt, though? Was he too fierce? Or was it due to the link clashing against her human rationality?

«I know. I might even remember what I'm missing now.»

«When the food arrived, we parted. I had to open the door.»

«Okay...»

«Then, I walked back to you and... I carried you to the bed.»

He observed her for a moment until she raised her arms. His instinct reacted before his brain, and he surrounded her with his arms again.

He carried her to the bed like the first time and leaned her in the middle, careful not to hurt her. There, Lara looked up like she had done then.

She watched him while he also found some space on the mattress, and she placed her hands on his chest. That was what her instinct pushed her to do.

Their lips found each other again, and they kissed as if their lives depended on it. Nate's hand trailed down her thigh, to her knee.

She interrupted the kiss, pushing him away.

«You really remember!» she exclaimed. «Everything!»

«I told you so,» was his reply. He wasn't so happy to be rejected like that. What had he done wrong? He was reproducing precisely their first night together.

Oh, not too precisely. They weren't ready for another pair of twins. But they would soon be, he realised.

If Lara didn't reject the link, they would want other pups sooner than later. Maybe not twins - sure. Maybe a single baby would have been enough this time.

But they would reach to it.

«I thought about that night every single Black Moon until meeting you again, Lara. How could I forget whatever detail? I remember what I did, what you did... And how you reacted. That's what made me unresting all these years. I couldn't understand what exactly made you decide to leave.»

«It was nothing you did, Nate.»

«Now, I know it. But then, I was young and dumb.»

«Hey, you were the same age I am now! Am I dumb?»

«No, just naive. But I was dumb. Now, shall we return to work?»

«Oh, yes, sure...» she chuckled. She surrounded his neck with her arms and kissed him again.

She locked her leg around his hip when he pulled her knee, and she sighed when his weight blocked her on the mattress. She couldn't move away like that. Not that she wanted to - but she could imagine what Nate had thought about it over the years. Read the latest on empire

His kisses and caresses were sweeter than they were passionate, for once. He was happier to be with her than he was excited.

«I love this,» she chuckled. «The way you touch me, how you kiss me... I love it all!»

Nate winced, surprised. Sure, they were trying to reproduce their first night and help her remember. But it was also the perfect chance to express their feelings.

He also loved anything she would do, but it didn't sound right to tell her at that moment. He loved her shy caresses, as well as the way she had gripped his arms before talking.

Something deep inside him moved, and he forgot about their intentions. He left a thousand kisses on her cheeks and forehead before moving to her neck, down her chest and stomach.

Lara furrowed her brows, surprised. It felt wrong, for some reason. She didn't remember what had happened, but she somehow knew he didn't do that kind of thing. He didn't peck her like that... It was too intimate for the first time they met.

«Hey, Nate, are you sure you did this?»

«I didn't,» he said, playfully biting on her hip.

He raised her skirt and kissed his way to her underwear.

«I didn't do this, in fact,» he said before moving the last piece of clothing to the side and licking her core. His tongue moved in circles around her clit and her opening, teasing her until she felt the need to moan. Her panting guided him to the spots she liked, and his heart sighed content when she arched her back and covered her mouth not to scream.

Her toes curled, and all her muscles tensed up at the unexpected waves of pleasure. It had lasted so short that she almost felt embarrassed - but it had been an unfair surprise attack!

She closed her eyes at the peak, and a stubborn tear rolled down her left eye. Their first attempt at reviving that night had failed just like that. Nate would have heard her, as soon as she was able to talk again.

He wasn't supposed to deviate so much from how things went. How could she remember if all he did was add many more memories for the future?

«B-bad,» she stuttered, but she couldn't finish her sentence.

He was so bad, right. But she hadn't done enough to stop him. On the contrary, as soon as he had raised her skirt, she had surrendered without a word.

It was her fault as much as it was Nate's.

«Oh, how unfair,» she sighed, turning to the side and hiding in Nate's arms.

«Your fault,» he said, sinking his nose in her hair and inhaling her scent. «You shouldn't have said what you said.»

She nodded against his chest, almost apologising for being naughty.

«Maybe we should try another time,» she whispered.

«No, why? We still have time, Lara. It's early.»

She looked at the clock. Not that early, but it had been late that night too. They were on time?

«As you wish,» she said, still smitten because of pleasure.
