○━━━ let your wild side out let it roam free ━━・

The two wolves were stuck staring at one another. Vilkas knew if he looked away, let that aura of power drop for a moment, Farkas was going to try to kill him. He also knew he had been stupid and a pure bastard. When Vilkas had walked up there stairs, he had no intention of doing what he did. It had been their scents mixed together, the way it had grabbed the wolf and shaken him awake. It was wrong. He was the Alpha, and that meant Kasia belonged to him. He could take her away, even from her mate. But, looking at the other side of it, seeing his best friend, a person and not an animal, he knew he deserved whatever Farkas intended to do. The other wolf, silver hair tossed all over from his fight with the rest, was flexing his hands. Like he was fighting power Vilkas had over him. Kill, kill, kill. Never had Farkas felt like this, felt so out of control. He was not himself. Hated it. It was only the small voice to his left that stopped him, made his pupils shrink back to normal. He glanced over and saw her. Saw that bright pink hair and pretty little face. And for a moment, for just long enough, it snapped whatever tether the anger had on him. Farkas wrapped his arms around her like they had not seen one another for years. One around her shoulders, pulling her into his chest, the other around her waist. The scent of them both struck like a blow, but he could only press his cheek against her face, try to get his scent back on her. "I don't blame you, Sia. I don't. I just..." The words were breaking along with his voice. Farkas realized he was on the verge of tears, and something went hard inside of his soul. He looked at Vilkas over her shoulder, glared at him with violent anger again. Anything to keep from simply falling apart. The look on Vilkas' face was full of pain and shame. And only one word popped into the Beta wolf's head. Good. Vilkas took a step forward and Farkas snarled again, holding Kasia tighter. So, the Alpha stepped back again. Held up his hands. And slowly, Farkas loosened his hold enough to let Kasia slip free if she wanted. When he started to speak again, he addressed his Alpha, even if it sounded like it was for Kasia. "You just became a wolf... and we all knew how you were split, how much you love us both. An Alpha putting you in that position today was cruel. And your brother doing it was even worse." Farkas let his arms fall to his side, even as he pressed a kiss to her head. Then, he stepped back. Kasia was young, stuck between human and wolf for the first time, but he would never put her in the position Vilkas had. So, he put a hand on the doorknob to his room and gave Kasia a soft smile. "I'm going to get some things together. Talk to him." The last word was nearly spit out, his face showing a flicker of anger as he mentioned the other wolf. And Vilkas knew his face crumbled at the tone. Alpha and asshole, but aware of it. And now, Vilkas could not bring himself to move closer, to try to touch Kasia. "Fuck, Sia... I didn't meant to... I couldn't think anymore. I smelled him on you and I just... lost my fucking mind. I can't explain it. Can't tell you how loud the wolf inside me gets. And I know that isn't an excuse. I know I'm a fucking piece of shit. But, I don't want to force you two apart. Even my wolf doesn't want that." ​

Strong arms wrapped around her and cuddled her into his side. Farkas placed his cheek to her hair, inhaling her scent. She felt him stiffen, but he didn’t pull away. She smelled like her brother, lust and sex. Arms wrapped around his waist as she curled into his side, pressing her smaller body closer to him. For a moment, her brother and their Alpha was forgotten as she rubbed her face against his. The nuzzling affection of wolves. It was also scenting. She was reclaiming his scent, replacing that of Vilkas’ with Ark’s. Those words made something loosen in her heart and she turned her back on Vilkas to lift a hand to his face. Her lips were soft, sweet and the kiss was chaste. That pain, she was in part to blame and her heart hurt again, but for an entirely new reason now. Turning, she looked to her brother in a circled of Farkas’ arms. Her brother took a step towards them and his arms tightened, tension vibrating through his body as he snarled at Vilkas. His grip was painful, but she said nothing until he relaxed slowly. His arms loosened to the point she could step away if she wanted, but she lingered near him, pressed close to his side. His voice came from beside her and she frowned. The words hitting home and her eyes darkened with confusion and hurt as she gazed up at Vilkas. He’d taken advantage of her in a way. She shifted uneasily and curled closer to Farkas. Lips pressed to her hair and she made a soft sound in her throat, one of pleasure at the affection. Her eyes followed Farkas and she nodded some, her arms wrapping around herself as he left them. Turning she faced her brother, hugging herself tight. His words came first and she frowned. “I am still new.. But you are meant to protect us. To protect me.” There was hurt in her voice. “You knew my feelings.” He had allowed her to say no, but thinking back, Kasia wondered if she could have said no to Vilkas. Her darkest secret, darkest desire and the new found desire to please her Alpha. It had almost been.. A “Trap.” Her face contorted with anger. “I don’t even know if I could have said no in the moment Vilkas!” Her voice rose and she gave a small, angry growl. “I have.. Craved you and thought it could never be.” Her cheeks heated with shame and anger. “You knew, they knew.. Everyone knew my secret.” She took a step back from him. “I.. I trust that you didn't plan it, but you should have taken more care. It wasn’t as if you didn’t know what had just happened.” “I love you, but right now.. I feel.. Used.” Behind her the door opened and Sia turned away from Vilkas. She did love him, but in the moment, she was confused and hurting. Moving to Ark’s side, her hand found his. “Lets go..” Her voice trailed off and she found she couldn’t look back at him. Knew that she wouldn’t be strong enough to see the hurt in his eyes. “I will.. Text you later, Vilkas.” The pair headed down the stairs and as they came to the door she blushed looking down at what she was wearing. “Where are we going to go Ark?” Her voice was a whisper, knowing what she looked like at the moment. Her lack of clothing. They couldn’t go to her parents..#f48082 ​ ​

Vilkas felt like he was exactly as bad Farkas seemed to think he was. And when his friend left the room, he thought maybe Kasia would be gentle. Tell him that she understood. Instead, she explained that Farkas was right. Absolutely right. And he knew there was really nothing he could say. No way to prevent them from thinking the worst. Still, he had to try. "I didn't try to use you. I really meant that I would stop." There was doubt in his voice as he said that. He meant it, truly and completely. His ability to act on it was something that he could not promise. If Kasia had told him to stop, would he have been able to take the scent of her, aroused for him even if she knew better? And could she have said no? Vilkas had not tried to use his dominance to order her, but there was no turning it off with another wolf. They could feel it pouring off him from across a room. He just wanted to talk to his fucking sister before they locked themselves in the room for the night. Just wanted to tell her that he was happy for her and Farkas, that he really did approve. And he had given in to impulse and fucked it all up. There was an attempt at words again. "I never intended to force you two apart. I just... I really can't explain it." Farkas had gathered up the clothes that Kasia had left behind, putting them into a backpack. He added a few of his own things, enough for them to share if needed. And, most importantly, he sent a text. When he opened the door, he could see Kasia was angry with her brother. Even if she had not yelled, punished him in a way Farkas knew he could not, the look on his face said enough. And when she saw him, she said what he wanted to hear. They would be leaving together. The silver haired wolf waited until they were all the way down the stairs, hands laced together tightly, to answer her. "We can go to June's apartment. I texted her, told her we needed to sleep somewhere else. She is going to stay here. I'm pissed, but Vilkas shouldn't be stuck here alone." And there it was. He still cared about his best friend. Because the stupid fucking wolf in him understood. Vilkas was his Alpha and he had a right to claim any woman in the pack. When things were different, and people were just as wild as wolves, almost every female in the pack belonged to the Alpha. Now, it was a dick move at best. And Ark knew that Vilkas had not meant to do it. He was angry because that stupid animal in Kas's head had been stronger than what he felt as a friend and a brother. Instead of going right to the door, Farkas made a side trip to the kitchen, grabbing the full case of beer that still sat on the floor. With a small sigh, he looked Kasia over. She still looked so goddamn pretty. All he could think to do was lean in and press his cheek to her own, try to make her scent mix with his own. And, once he got that stupid animal urge out, he released her hand just long enough to pull the backpack off his shoulder. He produced a pair of shorts that would likely go past her knees, but it was better than nothing. "I know it isn't the best thing to wear, but at least you won't have to put your butt on the seat. The tail should probably go, though." Somehow, Farkas managed a smile. Because he still had Kasia with him. He should have let her go to the bathroom and clean up, but the whole building was full of Vilkas's scent and it was making him want to rage again. So, once she got herself righted, he stowed the tail in a side pocket of the bag, collected his medicinal beer, and put the bag on his back again, he was holding her hand. Her car was waiting for them at the end of the driveway, along with four wolves who looked so anxious they could puke. All that Farkas could manage was thank you to June, who gave them both a sad smile. "Don't worry about it. We're family." ​

Trust. She trusted that he thought he would have or at least tried to. She also trusted that he’d not tried to take advantage of her. Yet, it did little to change what had happened. On one hand, Sia didn’t regret it. She’d craved her brother as long as she’d craved Ark. What she did regret was the circumstance in which it had happened. The fact that it had put him in such a position to hurt two people he loved. To make what happen.. Tarnish. “I know, Kas..” Her voice was sad and she gave him one last glance before allowing Ark to lead her down the stairs. He wouldn’t be alone. That comforted her and more than that, it made her look at her mate with affection. He was mad, perhaps even hated their Alpha, his best friend, her brother, but he’d made sure to take care of him. To protect his Alpha, as was his duty as his beta. As they paused in the kitchen, beer grabbed her wrinkled nose at the box, though said nothing otherwise. His pause, looking at her, had her blinking up at him. His cheek rubbed against hers and she rose on her toes, returning the entirely animal gesture, the motion normal, comforting as she mingled their scents together. With Ark’s help the tail was removed and the shorts were slid on. They were huge on her, but it kept her from being naked as they drove through town. It made her feel less vulnerable. Which she was struggling with at the moment. Outside, she met the pack, their anxiety spiking the air, turning her stomach uneasily. Iris smiled at her softly, not willing to risk Farkas’ anger by coming closer to the young wolf. “Its okay pup,” she offered, seeing her anxiety. They had always known and no one blamed her. They also did not blame Vilkas. They had known their feelings and it made sense, even if it hurt their hearts to see their family so torn. Still, even knowing it was okay, having known them all for so long, she felt uneasy. They’d found her pinned to a wall with her brother cumming in her.. It was embarrassing. She handed Ark her keys and slipped into the car, watching the pack head back inside. Shifting uneasily she watched Ark walk to the driver’s side and climb in. She was curled in the seat, her body language showing her unease. The way she curled away from him and into the door. She still felt like she’d done something wrong and now that they were alone, it was crushing in on her. When he noticed she shook her head some and pulled back. “When we get to June’s,” she promised. For now though, Kasia felt like she deserved.. Needed to be punished. Even if she was the only one who thought so. #f48082 ​ ​

Farkas accepted the keys from Kasia first, then June. He had only been to her apartment twice before, and both times had been shortly after she joined the pack. He still remembered the way, but was not sure what to expect when they got there. No, all he could do was slide into the driver seat and fit the key in the ignition. With the soft repetitive beep going off, waiting for him to start the car, he turned to give Kasia a gentle touch. He found her curled up against the door. When she pulled away, it felt like a punch to the gut. However, Farkas put all his effort in keeping his face neutral. Angry as he was, what Kasia was going through likely ate at her. He would make her tell him what she was thinking, then do his best to make it better. But, only when she was ready. Luckily, it was easy to stay calm. Being in Kasia's car made it so he could only smell her scent, wrapped around him like a blanket. It left him feeling a kind of calm, let him simply turn the key and start the car, his eyes on what he was doing. And, as they started to drive, he focused on the road. Let his mind empty in that way you could only do when you had something monotonous, muscle memory replacing any thought. He did make a mess of Kasia's seat and mirrors, having to adjust them repeatedly to match his height, but otherwise he entered an empty space and let the anger leave him. He missed a turn or two, his empty mind not exactly doing the best job of remembering directions, but it was still less than thirty minutes away. No one in the pack wanted to live further from the house than that. When they finally slowed to a stop in a parking space, Farkas had managed to become the normal wolf again. Soft and sweet, especially when Kasia was involved. He was no closer to forgiving his Alpha, but he was unlikely to lash out again any time soon. He had no idea what Kasia had thought about in the silence that had followed them here, but she seemed well aware that they had arrived. So, he went to retrieve the bag and beer from the back of the car. Now that he was here, calm, the beer felt stupid. Neither of them liked to drink it. He had just wanted to take alcohol with him, part out if spite and the other from a desire to forget. Now, he remembered that was not who he was. In the end, he left the beer in the trunk. Wearing only a pair of sweats, a t-shirt, and shoes without socks, he felt a little silly. Like they were going into a hotel after some kind of wild night. It was partially true, he supposed. He moved to the other side of the car to wait for Kasia, wanting nothing more than to feel her skin against his. So, despite her recoiling before, he took her hand as soon as she was out of the car, wrapping her small one in his much larger fingers. Thankfully, the keys for June's apartment were marked with a helpful number. 203. That meant they had a single flight of stairs to go up. Even so, Farkas took the elevator. Kasia was probably exhausted at this point. After everything that he had done, and immediately after... He forced those thoughts out of his head, let the small space drown him in Kasia's scent again, now so dominated by his own that he could barely detect any other wolf. All he would think about was this tiny creature beside him, how much he loved her. The door to the apartment proved to be a bit of a pain, with Farkas having to give up holding Kasia's hand in order to jam the key in the lock and twist hard. But, it came open with a little sound of protest. And inside was something that surprised him. Pastels, as far as the eye could see. Iris had always been a bit rougher, more on the punk side. June, it seemed, loved embracing a more traditional kind of femininity. Light blue walls, pink carpets, furniture patterned with flowers, pillows shaped like animals, all of it was much different than the woman he knew. None of it mattered, of course. He just could not keep the surprise off his face. Pulling Kasia along, he let her to the couch, tossing the bag of clothes to the side. Pushing a cat head pillow to the side, Farkas sank into it, and before Kasia could protest, dragged her down into his lap. "Talk to me, Sia. What are you thinking about?" ​

Silence was both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, Kasia almost wished he’d pushed through that barrier and comforted her. Tell her that it was okay again. Even as she wished for it, she knew she wouldn’t have been able to accept it. So the silence that grew was not uncomfortable, but allowed her to fall into her mind and her actions. Allowed her time to process and punish herself. All she’d needed to say was no. No, she had Ark and that should have been enough. They had just gotten done fucking, making love, mating and she didn’t more. Greedy, selfish. She’d still wanted her brother and when he spilled his own secret it had broken something in her. She still should have said no, showing some loyalty to Farkas. He was a good man, he wanted her. But so had Vilkas.. Her mind was a spiral of these thoughts. Both trying to work out what she’d done and what she could have done. In the end though? Kasia only felt like she’d betrayed the man beside her. She could have, should have been stronger. The distance from Vilkas made her not feel that press of his power, warping her memory of the event. By the time they arrived, her stomach was in knots and her guilt was pressing down on her and she couldn’t figure a way out. The car door opened and she slipped out to find Ark there. His hand captured hers and she followed him. Meek and a shadow of the flirtatious women from earlier. Weak. She cuddled into him and his scent in the elevator. His scent washing over her, soothing her. Inside the wash of pink made her pause in the doorway and for a moment, it broke through her gloom, her lips quirking slightly. So.. girly. June would never live this down and that thought brightened her mood slightly as she was led into the room, the door closing behind them. Ark sat and pulled her into his lap, giving her no choice in the matter and she felt thankful and frustrated at it. She didn’t deserve him. “That at the first test, I betrayed you..” Those words were broken and she couldn’t meet his eyes. She’d made herself out to be the monster. That she could have said no. That Vilkas would have respected it. But.. “Because I am greedy and wanted to have my cake and eat it too.. I have hurt you.” She didn’t bring up that she’d hurt Vilkas, but that too weighed on her. That she’d broken their friendship. It was all her. Not Vilkas. Her voice lowered to a near whisper. “I don’t deserve you, let alone your kindness..” #f48082 ​ ​

Farkas had no idea what he expected Kasia to say. For him, this was solely on his Alpha. He knew what it was like. Hell, Farkas had been in the other wolf's thrall since they were children. He understood the power that an Alpha commanded over any wolf. One in their pack essentially signed their life over. If not for that animal instinct to be a part of the group, to find a pack and cede control to the Alpha, none of them would do it. Tolerate it. So, when Kasia spoke, he felt something drop in his stomach. The silver-haired wolf found himself pulling her closer, letting her lean into him even if she thought she was not worthy of it. There was a spark of that anger again, directed at his best friend. Kasia did not know better, had not seen the pack dynamics played out from the perspective of a wolf. And, until her first shift, she likely would never be able to grasp it. "You aren't being fair to yourself, Sia. Did you see what happened when Vilkas told us to stop? I wanted to rip his throat out and I could barely move when he gave me an order. It's like trying to bend a joint the wrong direction trying to fight an Alpha. It hurts, feels unnatural. It can even break you." Farkas knew it was partly some part of him trying to reclaim her, just as much as it was to comfort, but he leaned in and kissed the top of her head, then moved down to her ear, before tilting her head back and pressing his lips to her neck. He followed it up with a persistent nuzzling of his nose to her skin. Mine. He wanted to make her so covered in his scent any other wolf would never touch her. No matter what she had done, he would likely forgive. Right now, he saw nothing he needed to do so for. She was pulled into a whirlpool she had never known existed. "I've known how you felt. And today... today you were riding a high. Getting everything you wanted all at once. You should ask Iris and June what it's like being around Vilkas. They practically drool after him, and they don't feel that way about him. Your wolf wanted him, he was offering. No one would expect you to say no. I promise." He was slow to pull away from her, to give up the scent of her and the desire to mark her. Just like Farkas knew Kasia would have had to be impossibly strong willed, fierce enough to challenge Vilkas for his spot as Alpha, he knew she was stubborn enough to not give this up. So, he kissed her throat, brushing his nose on her skin again. "If you feel obligated to blame yourself, I can make you an offer. You go take a shower and come back. I'll give you a punishment, then make sure you are covered in my scent again. How does that sound?" And there he was. The wolf Farkas always was. Sweet and caring, but practical. The one who kept the machine running while Vilkas barked orders. He had claimed Kasia as his mate, just like Vilkas was his Alpha. And, now that he was far away from that dark rage he had felt in the moment, he was trying to process the reality of it all. They would never leave the pack, and the bond he had with Vilkas would never go away. They would all have to live with this one way or another. With a sigh, he leaned back on the couch. "You can take the bag and pick whatever to wear. I grabbed everything you left in my room." ​

He soothed her, her smaller form cuddled into him as he spoke. He rationalized what had happened and told her what she knew on some level, but had trouble processing. She wasn’t fully wolf, not yet. Lips brushed her hair and she shivered. Then her ear and when his lips found her throat she gave a soft sound of acceptance. She was his.. She nuzzled her cheek against his hair and whimpered. This sound wasn’t pained or aroused. It was the sad cry of a puppy. While her mind told her he was just soothing her, Kasia knew he also spoke the truth. A kiss was placed on the column of her neck and she closed her eyes tightly. The offer was accepted instantly. She still felt a need to be punished and knew that with his help, she could move past what happened. It wouldn't fix anything though. She’d never not smell like her mate, which would put her brother in a very awkward palace. One she didn’t know how to fix. Though, at that moment, she knew it wasn’t her place to fix it. The sigh made her shift in his lap, rising some to press her lips to his. “I will shower and come back.” Leaving him made her stomach twist, but she knew she must. She needed a shower. To scrub herself free of both their scents.. Then he would punish her. Help her.. Forgive herself and move on. Then he’d replace his scent. Her mate. Picking up the bag on her way out, she made her way by scent toward the bathroom. Inside she closed the door and locked it. She didn’t expect him to join her and the locked door gave her a sense of security. Not from him, but the world. Kasia felt.. Tender. Fiddling with the taps, she waited till the water warmed before undressing. The shirt and shorts laid to one side she exhaled a shaky breath before stepping under the water. Warm, it chased the chill from her skin and she tipped her face into the spray. For a long while, she stood there, feeling the water run over her naked body.. Trembling though not cold. Kasia wanted to try but found she couldn’t. Her head fell forward, pressing against the cool tile and her fingers toyed with the knob again, turning the heat up slowly. Cooking herself. It was something Sia did often when struggling. She lingered in the water, washing herself until her skin glowed from the heat. The scents of Vilkas and Farkas running down her body and swirling down the train. Taking care to clean every inch of herself, meticulous, so no part of her smelled of anything but the obnoxious floral scent that June favored. She smelled like roses from head to toe when she slowly turned the water off. Dark pink hair clung her her scalp, neck and shoulders as she reached for a towel. The soft terry cloth wicked the moisture from her skin and her hair was roughly toweled till it no longer dripped. Naked, she padded back through the hallways till she found Ark. He’d not moved and she came to kneel before him. Her cheek resting on his knee. “I have one request..” Her voice was husky, her skin still glowing from the heat of the shower. “Make me cry, Ark... I need it.” #f48082 ​ ​

Farkas loved the way she reacted to his touch. It was a little spark of enjoyment in the twisted up parts of his soul. Letting her go was painful, but he knew she needed to wash up, get their scents off, reset herself. When the door closed behind her and he heard that soft click as she locked it, Farkas let all of his emotions out in one long sigh. His eyes closed and he breathed it out, like meditation. And for a few seconds, he stayed like that. Emptied all the air out and let his body crave. It was a reminder that life was real, that other people were real. No matter how he left himself get caught up in his wolf bullshit, Kasia was still a person and needed to be treated with something besides instinctive want. And when the lack of oxygen began to hurt, made his heart rate spike for a moment as his body begged him to breath, he took a deep gulp of air and came down from it. Let himself feel normal. He could hear the water running, knew that Kasia was fully into her shower. And he took this time to do the things that were no fun. Sent a text to June saying that they got in fine, messaged the HR contact at the company currently employing his and Vilkas' services to inform them there would be a few days break. Because the other wolf would not do those things. He would sulk and rage in equal parts, mostly at himself. Probably drink whatever was left in the house, then disappear into the woods and spend a day or two in his other skin. Three days. He would give Vilkas three days to get his shit together. And when Kasia came out of the bathroom completely naked, he almost dropped his phone. Farkas was absolutely sure he would never get over it. How fucking perfect she was to him. Her skin was pink from the heat of her shower, but her nipples were so pale compared to it, drawing his eyes to them. Then, down to look at her thighs, her gorgeous curves. When they finally moved back to her face, there was obvious desire in his eyes. Nothing could ever put out the fire he was looking at her with. And when she moved to her knees, pressed her cheek to his knee and offered herself in supplication with only that one request, that dark part of him, the very human part, opened an eye. "You are going to be spanked. I'm going to keep going until you tell me to stop. And when you say stop, you will get three more. Because it is a punishment. Agreed?" Even if this was to satisfy some twisted sense of obligation, Farkas had learned the important parts of things like this. Consent was first and foremost. As deep as his kinks went, how twisted his desires were, he would never do anything without warning, never hurt her without her permission. And when she gave it, Farkas reached down and lifted her face from his knee. His thumb ran along her bottom lip and he knew he was already growing hard right in front of her. Blatantly obvious given his lack of underwear and loose sweats. And when he stood, it was right in front of her. Except, it was time for punishment and he knew she would love to touch him, taste him. So, he kept out of her reach. "Up on your knees. Hands on the back of the couch." He was almost breathless as he instructed her. Farkas could never tell her the truth with words. That he had fantasized about this too. Sensations to the extremes. That was what he loved. Whether it was spanking her until her tears ran down her cheeks or making her scream in pleasure until she fought to be free of his touch. He wanted it all. And once she was in position, her full ass pressed out toward him, Kasia could hear him draw in a sharp breath before he started with no warning. A slap filled the room, but it was not so hard as to really hurt. No, he hit the softest part of her ass with the tips of his fingers, appreciating how it ran along the curve of her cheek in a ripple. He waited. Waited until Kasia questioned it. Then, when her first words escaped, he brought a hand down hard, striking with his palm high on her ass. It was a whip crack of sound compared to the first, her cheek instantly turning pink, brighter than her skin. And then he did it again, switching sides. Soon, Ark was finding a pattern in chaos. Never the same way twice. He slapped her ass on the left side, then the right. Slapped her left cheek three times. Used both hands to hit both at once. He never let her know what to expect, struck her ass until pink turned to red and his palms stung, and he kept going until she gave the words. When she finally called for him to stop, he put a hand on her lower back, his palm hot against her skin, and gave her the real punishment. One slap on each side that rocked her whole body forward, followed by one, not nearly as hard but plenty enough to sting along with the spike of pleasure, right against her pussy. ​

To have known her, Kasia didn’t seem the submissive type. It was Ark and her brother that drew that desire from her. It was shown as she sank to her knees before Farkas. With her mind and heart in turmoil, she knew what she needed or at least, what she thought she needed to soothe them. A reset of sorts. She needed to cry and as she couldn’t find the tears on her own, she needed her Mate’s help. His words made her shiver and she nodded. “I understand,” her voice was breathy and she closed her eyes for a moment. The pad of his thumb ran along her lower lip and she made a soft sound, lashes rising. Arousal would have been noticed even had she not seen him growing hard beneath his sweats. She could smell it and almost taste it on her tongue. Lifted to her feet, Sia moved to where Ark had told her to move. Her knees sunk into the plush cushions and her hands gripped the back of the couch tightly as she waited. She deserved to be punished and indeed to cry, to break the seal on her emotions and allow them to drain from her until she was empty. Then and only then could Ark fill her once more. Slap. The sound made her jump, though it hadn’t hurt. Her face turned, looking over her shoulder. That surely wasn’t it. The next fell before any words could leave her lip and she gasped. The blows fell in an irregular fashion, leaving her guessing, never able to prepare. At first, there was her own arousal as the pain licked along her system.. Filled her. It lingered even as true pain filled her. Till each new slap made her cry out, the sound ringing with suffering rather than arousal. Tears had started at some point, falling down her cheeks with each fall of his hand. Her ass was so warm beneath his hand, a bright red.. “Stop..” The gasping cry came in a watery tone as she sobbed. Aroused and hurting, her ass ached from his hand. The last three hits drew shouts of pain. She’d known they were coming. He’d told her they would. The only surprise came as his hand came down, the sharp sting along her drenched pussy. Her head fell forward and she closed her eyes, breathing ragged before she turned on the couch. Rising, she turned and stood on the couch, feet sinking into the surface some. Her fingers trailed against his jaw and before sinking into the hair at the back of his neck. Pulling him toward her, her arms lined around his neck and he her mouth capturing his. The tears were slowly drying on her cheeks, leaving salty trails along them as her body pressed closer to his. Lips trailed along his cheek to his jaw, teeth scraping along his skin. “Ark.” His name was a plea and a demand as her lips trailed to his ear, licking at the surface, her hands slipping down his chest, fingers hooking in his pants, pulling at them gently, trying to push them down his hips. Punishment over, she needed him. Craved him. #f48082[/COLOR] ​ ​

 

[Lady Jace Beleren]

○━━━ living in a lunar spell he finds his heaven ━━・

Just like Sia could tell how much he was enjoying this, scent it all over him, Ark did not need to touch her to know how much this was turning her on. It hurt. He could tell from the sounds she made with each slap. But, Ark knew better than anyone how good it could feel to be hurt. The women who had wanted to stay with him, however brief it had ended up being, had informed him of the line between pleasure and pain. It felt like that had all been a buildup to this. To giving the one he wanted most exactly what she needed. And Ark knew that he needed it too when she told him to stop. When those last three slaps had him aching against his sweats. Because he had loved watching her head fall forward, hearing her whimper. And when he felt how burning hot she was, so slick and ready, Ark felt like he found the perfect mate all over again. When their mouths met, he growled with a savage hunger. Not a wolf growl, but still primal and full of want. Her arms wrapped around his neck just as his moved to rest on her lower back, running up and down her skin so she could feel that his palms stung just as much as her ass, the skin so hot that it seared her with his touch. He kissed Kasia like he owned her, just like she did to him. It was that reset they both needed. A reminder that they were not going to let anything ruin this. When her mouth moved from his, there was a smile on his face, different from the soft ones he gave her all these years. It was full of wicked thoughts and the need to make them real. But, when she began to tug at his pants, nipped at his skin and dragged her teeth hard enough to leave trails of red skin, he moved his hands up to hold her face, make her look him in the eyes. He could see the lines of her tears down her cheeks and he wanted her to see the way his eyes flared, excitement written all over his face. He had made her cry, and because she had wanted it, it made him love it. Never what she did not want, but always more than she thought she could take. He tilted like he planned to kiss her again, but his tongue extended instead. Ran along her cheek to sample the salty tear on her cheek. And he purred for her. "Did you like being made to cry? Not just because you wanted to be punished. You liked being pushed, didn't you? I want to find out everything about you, Sia." There was a promise in those words. He would explore every inch of her, memorize every reaction. She had managed to figure out how to get his sweats down from around his waist, letting him free to throb in the open air. And Ark was done testing, at least for the moment. With her arms still around his neck, he let his hands drift down her body. Over her breasts, his palms still hot as they ran over her nipples, and down to her hips. Then, they moved lower, wrapped around the backs of her thighs before grabbing tight. His hands wrapped more than halfway around each as he pulled her legs from under her, lifted them to his sides while her arms held her aloft. And he guided her down so her back rested against the it. He did not seat her on it, though. Instead, he moved to kneel on the cushions, making her sit in his lap, his cock pressed against her as he ached. There was no gentle lovemaking about to happen. He was going to make her body crave him, always. Lifting her weight again, he let her rest her back fully on the couch, his mouth moving inches from her ear. "Put me inside." Ark wanted her to do it all on her own. Put him inside because she wanted it. He kept her steady while her hands moved down to hold him. And once he was lined up, the swollen head of his cock spreading her open, he plunged into her. So hot and slick from her punishment that he had no trouble hilting himself. A perfect fit. A stray thought caught in his mind, a little challenge to himself. Could he make her cry with pleasure next? And would her tears taste the same? ​
