Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

Both of them were definitely surprised to see each other standing in the middle of the hallway, but none of them could say anything but stare. Mercedes felt her heart pound wildly in her heart and a sweat broke out on her forehead. Felix's gaze was intense and made her feel things that she had never felt before. Even without words, their lust and desire-filled eyes spoke volumes. Before Mercedes could realize it, she was grabbed and slammed into the wall. Felix was in front of her breathing heavily and looking at her face.

Her breath hitched, and she tensed and peered into his lust-filled eyes. She was sure her eyes were mirroring as their breaths mingled with each other.

Felix was barely hanging on by a thread as Roland was trying to gain control of him, but he knew he couldn't allow that just yet. If he did, then Roland would surely do something he would regret. Sure, he wanted Marcedes as madly and desperately as Roland, but he wanted to make sure that she was in place with him. He would never want to put her under pressure if she was not ready. But looking at her heart-shaped face and eyes filled with curiosity and desire, it was highly doubtful that she was not on the same page as him. It made him a little more excited.

He leaned his face to the crook of her neck, making her squirm. " I couldn't stop thinking about you. I was unable to sleep because thoughts of you in my arms swarmed my mind." He confessed without hesitation and moved his head to connect his eyes with her. Her mouth was agape and she was breathing heavily. She tried to say something, but the cat caught her tongue. That made Felix chuckle a little at seeing how innocent she was.

" So, we're you thinking about me as well?" he asked huskily and traced his nose on her neckline, sniffing her sweet scent that drove him and Roland mad.

" Say something, girl. Snap out of it and say you were thinking about him as well. Go on!" Reina beckons Mercedes, who is still stunned and out of him. She didn't realize it when she pulled her arms out of Felix and grabbed his face. This shocked Felix as well as herself, but she couldn't back out now. Before Felix could react, Mercedes pulled his face closer to her and placed her lips on his. For a few seconds, they froze before he decided to take over.

He moved his lips and grabbed her waist, roughly pulling her onto his body. Mercedes let him have the control he needed. Reina was cheering inside her head, proud of her human. He never expected such a bold statement. They continued to kiss until Felix broke the kiss and attacked her neck. She grabbed his hair and enjoyed his sweet kisses and nibbling on her neck up to the spot below her ear. Never did she have thought that her first kiss would be so passionate.

He suddenly pulled away from her, making her alarmed. For a moment she thought something was wrong, but that changed when he grabbed her by the hand and dragged her in the direction of his room. She was breathing heavily, and her heart was beating erratically in anticipation of what was to come. He threw the door of his room open and pulled her inside. He closed the door again and pushed her back on it.

By the look in his eyes, she knew that there was no stopping this now. If she had any doubts or concerns, she should have addressed them while they were still in the hallway. Even though everything was suddenly rushing, she was fine with it. She was not afraid of anything bad happening because she knew Felix would be gentle and consider her.

" Tell me to stop now. I promise I will respect your wish and stop it right here," he breathed out huskily, the jest of his breath covering her face. She deliberated for a second but quickly concluded. What was the point of delaying it any longer? It is bound to happen anyway, so why not today? Mercedes thought of a way to convince herself. There was no time to think much about it. This is what men and women do when they want each other. She grabbed his shirt and kissed him by surprise again. Felix was stunned again but quickly controlled the situation.

Mercedes wrapped her arms around Felix and slithered his muscled arms around her waist and grounded his body on her. Their tongues mingled and dueled until they were out of breath. He broke the kiss and carried Mercedes bridal, making her squeal a little. He chuckled at her cuteness. He still couldn't believe that this was happening. He was acting like a pro a few moments ago, but he was truly nervous and anxious. He wanted to make this night an unforgettable one for both of them.

He gently laid her on his bed and crawled up to her. He studied her for a few seconds, seeing her mildly disheveled hair and plump swollen lips as a result of their heated make-out session a while ago. Her chest was heaving up and down, bringing attention to her breasts. She looked like an innocent yet sexy little kitten. She was his kitten and only his. His heart swelled with pride and joy.

He leaned closer to her with a smile and caressed her heart-shaped face and pushed back the stray strands of hair. He cupped her face and slowly connected their lips, engaging in a sensual kiss. He was on top of her but made sure not to crush her with his figure. He couldn't get enough of kissing her sweet honey-laced lips. They were so addictive. He trailed down from her neck to her chest while squeezing her clothed chest. His other hand was trailing the outline of her body, causing her to shiver. Excitement shone in Felix's eyes, but Mercedes was nervous. This was the first time she had been in such a situation with a man.

With no prior relationship or sexual experience, she didn't know what to do. She felt embarrassed and almost regretted not stopping when she had the chance. Felix seemed to sense her discomfort as his expression changed.

" What's wrong? Did I do something worrying?" he asked with a worried tone while still hovering over her. She bit her bottom lip and looked away from him. She was shy, and her cheeks turned red.

Felix was confused but he kind of understood the situation. It clicked in his mind. She was putting up a front in order not to disappoint. He rolled off her and settled beside her on the bed. He sighed and pulled Mercedes closer to him and laid her head on his chest.

" I should have been considerate. It's alright. I understand that you are not yet ready. I will wait for you, so there is no need to pressure yourself to be ready. Okay?" He carried her head and she buried her face in his chest. She was relieved and assured by his words. Although she felt bad for chickening out. The big moment could have happened tonight, but she just had to ruin it. She was surprised that Reina was quiet and not giving her an earful. Maybe she is disappointed in her that she can't even express it. For a second she thought of resuming but quickly decided against it. She can't keep switching, she needs to make up her mind already.

She raised her head to look at Felix. " I am sorry, Felix. I should have stopped when you gave me the chance."

" What are you saying? There is no need to feel sorry. Having you in my arms and my bed is enough. Other things could come later but now let's get some rest. Don't think too much. I am fine, I promise," he said, giving her a sweet smile which she returned. She craned her neck and kissed him before laying back on his chest. She wrapped her arms around his waist and let his steady heartbeat lull her to sleep. Felix just watched her sleep while playing with the tresses of her hair. He tried not to feel too bummed about how things turned out. He desired to mark her after mating with her to show everyone that she was his. But he meant what he said. What matters is how she feels and if she is not yet ready for that, then he will wait for her. Roland whined and disappeared, making Felix chuckle. The beast was pumped up and ready to devour its prey. Too bad.
