Chapter 35

ANSEL POV

“I think I should get going,” Maggie said from behind Karin, but Ansel hardly heard her. He continued to look from the ring to Karin. Quickly moving past them, Maggie all but sprinted to get out of the line of fire.

Karin backed into the villa and Ansel followed her, shutting the door behind him. “I see the good doctor has proposed,” he said.

The unhinged look on his face had returned. “Yes, he did,” she said cautiously.

“So he proposed knowing that you’re my surrogate?”

“Yes.”

“Just making sure that I have the story correct before I kill him.”

“Ansel, you can’t kill him.”

“Yes I can,” he said lethally. “I suggest you learn that rather quickly. I may have remained calm earlier today, but make no mistake, I will slaughter anyone who touches you.”

Karin’s bottom lip quivered. “Please, I’m begging you not to kill him. If you just let me fin—”

Ansel grabbed her in his arms. “Stop talking,” he demanded. Wrapping his hands in her hair, he craned her head back, making her look at him. He brought his face inches from hers. He remained silent, but the look on his face shifted from anger to something else. “I’m not letting you leave me again. So I also suggest for the sake of his life you link him and tell him that your answer is no. Then take the ring and make sure it’s never seen again.”

He slammed his lips against hers and slipped his tongue into her mouth. Hearing her moan, he pulled away and ran his tongue down her neck. “You’re mine,” he said, then trailed kisses from her neck to his mark behind her ear. He kissed the spot and her knees buckled. “Tell him you’re mine. You always have been, and you always will be.” He locked their eyes again, and like his, Karin’s shifted in color. “Do it now.”

“Alright,” she said.

Using his powers, Ansel listened in to her and Ethan’s link.

“I can’t marry you.”

“What? Why?”

She paused, and Ansel replaced his lips on his mark. He scathed the spot with his teeth and her legs buckled again.

“B-because…I belong to the Second Prince.”

“I don’t understand. You don’t have to—”

Satisfied, Ansel severed the link. He looked at her and smirked at the way her eyes widened. “Why so surprised? Did you forget all my abilities?”

“No, I didn’t.” He could feel the heat radiating from her body. “Are you going to let me go now?” she asked.

“Is that what you really want?” She bit her bottom lip but didn’t drop her gaze. “Karin, if you want me to let you go, you’re going to have to tell me that. Say it, and I will release you.”

Karin exhaled through her nose in frustration then dropped the ring. It hit the floor and rolled under the couch. “No,” she said, smiling softly at him. “That’s not what I want.”

Ansel clashed their lips together and picked her up. Wrapping her legs around him, she returned his kiss with the same amount of intensity. He walked to the bedroom and threw her on the bed. Not giving her a second to react, he grabbed her leg and yanked her to him. Karin sat up and without words she unbuckled his pants. Pulling them down, she released him from his briefs and took his hardened member into her mouth. Ansel gritted his teeth at the warmth around his shaft as she continued to pleasure him.

He looked down and realizing she was watching; he tangled his hand in her hair again and guided her. The slurping sound and the saliva dripping down the sides of her mouth caused him to push himself deeper into her throat. “Fuck…” he groaned before stopping her. He tore at her clothes, leaving her completely nude.

Ansel removed the remainder of his clothes. He could feel Jeff coming to the surface, and the smell of suzuran exuding from Karin caused them to sync.

“It’s time,” Jeff said as he listened to the sultry sounds coming from Ada as she and Karin synced as well. Ansel joined her on the bed and took one of her nipples into his mouth. Teasing it, he gently bit it before giving the other the same attention. He trailed kisses down her stomach and dipped his tongue into her navel. He spread her thighs wide and placed his tongue on her clitoris. She jerked, but he held her steady. Karin’s toes curled, and she gripped the sheets hard. Her taste was addictive, and Ansel found himself unable to stop even after her first climax.

“I-I can’t cum anymore,” she panted out, and he stopped his torture.

He raised his head and wiped his mouth. “I wouldn’t be so sure of that,” he said. Positioning himself between her legs, he looked her deeply in the eyes. She nodded and arched her back, and the last of his restraint broke. Placing his hand on the side of her face, he used the other to enter her. The tightness of her walls made his jaw flex. Karin wrapped her legs around his waist, and he kissed her again. He stroked slowly, giving her a moment to adjust to his size.

Not breaking eye contact, Ansel cupped her face and increased his intensity. Her moans of pleasure filled the room, causing him to thrust deeper. She dug her nails into his back, unwrapped her legs, and he could see her eyes roll to the back of her head.

Pulling out of her, Ansel sat up on his shins, and entered her again. He spread her legs wider and slowly rubbed her clitoris, making her jerk again. Alternating the pressure, he watched the different displays of ecstasy cross her face as her climax approached. “Please…I’m close,” she said and heated tears fell from her eyes.

“I know.” He thrusted deeper inside her. “Open your eyes.” When she did, he rubbed her clit harder, and her whole body convulsed. “Cum,” he commanded, and Karin burst at the seams. Ansel leaned down and kissed away one of her tears. “You’re mine. Only mine,” he said, stroking slower inside her as her orgasm still coursed through her body. The look of ecstasy on her face caused a low growl to come from his mouth. He gritted his teeth, feeling his own body react. Thrusting hard inside her, he locked their lips in a searing kiss and released.

Ansel pulled out of her and scooped her in his arms. They laid in silence as he tried to process that he’d actually came. He stroked Karin’s hair and listened to her breathing return to normal. “Are you alright?” he asked.

She nodded. “I’m just a little surprised, that’s all.”

“About?”

“About you being here. About what happened.” She kissed his fingers. “But I’m happy about it,” she whispered.

“Me too.”

He held her tighter, and she snuggled closer to him.

“I was never going to say yes,” she said. He stilled, and she turned and faced him. “That’s what I was trying to tell you before you went all mad man on me. The answer was always going to be no.”

“And why is that?”

“Because for everything he is, there is one important thing that he isn’t.”

“And that would be?”

He saw her cheeks redden. “He isn’t you.”

The amount of love in her eyes seemed to hold him captive. He kissed her, and she smiled against his lips. “But don’t get a big head about it,” she said.

He chuckled. “Never. However, now that makes me think all of this was a convoluted plan to provoke me.”

“I would never try to provoke you!” He arched his eyebrow, and she shrank. “Not like this, at least,” she grumbled. He soon saw a mischievous smile form on her face.

“What’s going on in that mind of yours?” he asked. She removed his arms and pushed against him, and he laid on his back.

“Provoking you,” she said, and kissed his chest.

Ansel’s breathing harshened as she made her way down. “Naughty, Little Wolf,” he said, and she giggled as he pulled her on top of him.
