Chapter 125: Watching in the Shadows.
Aurora’s POV
My eyes widened slightly as the laughter grew louder, and I let out a soft chuckle.
“Looks like we’re not the only ones enjoying the view tonight.”
Alessandro smirked, shaking his head. “Guess not.”
The giggling continued, followed by hushed whispers and the sound of car doors opening.
A couple emerged, the woman adjusting her coat while the man ran a hand through his messy hair.
They didn’t seem to notice us as they walked away into the woods, still lost in their own world.
I sighed, crossing my arms. “Must be nice.”
Alessandro glanced at me. “What?”
“Being that carefree,” I said, nodding toward the couple.
“Being able to laugh, to just... enjoy the moment without thinking about the past or the future.”
He looked at me as if he was studying me, the way the dim light of the town below reflected in my eyes.
“You can have that too,” he said quietly.
I turned to him, my face unreadable.
“Can I?”
He nodded. “You just have to let yourself.”
For a moment, I didn’t say anything. Then I let out a small breath and leaned back against the car beside him, turning my head up to the sky.
The stars were scattered across the night like tiny silver flecks, endless and unbothered by the weight of the world below.
“I used to love watching the stars when I was younger,” I murmured.
“Before… everything.”
He turned his gaze upward too. “And now?”
“Now, they just remind me of how small we are,” I admitted.
“How little control we actually have.”
He was silent and I guessed he was in deep thought about what I just said.
“Maybe. Or maybe they remind us that there’s more out there. That no matter what happens, life goes on.”
I glanced at him, a ghost of a smile on my lips. “That’s oddly optimistic coming from you.”
He smirked. “I have my moments.”
Silence stretched between us again, but this time, it felt different. Lighter.
I didn’t want to break it, but at the same time, there was something else I needed to say.
“Aurora,” he started, turning to face me fully.
I looked at him, waiting.
“I know that when you came to the Shadow Pack I was mean to you and treated you like you didn’t belong, but that was before I got to know the real you.”
I stayed quiet, letting him continue.
“I care about you,” he said again, firmer this time.
“And I don’t just mean as someone I want to protect. I mean you. The way you challenge me, the way you don’t back down, the way you—”
He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “You’re not just another person in the pack to me, Aurora.”
My lips parted slightly, my breath shaky.
He stepped closer, just enough to feel the warmth radiating off me.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know if you’re ready for anything, if you ever will be. But I do know one thing.”
I swallowed hard. “What?”
He reached out, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his fingers barely grazing my skin.
“When you’re ready to stop running,” he murmured,
“I’ll be right here.”
My breath hitched, my body tensing ever so slightly.
For a second, I thought I might step away, might shut down the conversation like I always did.
But instead, I stayed right where I was, my gaze locked onto him.
The wind picked up slightly, sending a shiver down my spine.
Alessandro must have noticed it immediately and without thinking, shrugged off his jacket, draping it over my shoulders.
I blinked up at him in surprise.
“Don’t read into it,” he teased, smirking.
“Just don’t need you freezing to death before our casual night is over.”
I let out a breathy laugh, shaking my head.
“Right. Casual.”
But even as he said it, we both knew the truth.
Nothing about this was casual anymore.
“I will be right back, let me get us something warm to drink.” he said and left me standing close to the car to enjoy the view alone.
Just as I was standing on my own, I heard the same couple that came out of their car, giggling close to the woods. I didn’t know what came over me, but I became intrigued and so I walked towards where the giggling was coming from and instantly their voices subsided to whispers.
Then I quietly moved closer to peek through the bushes. There I saw them, naked, there was a small river there and they were bathing and playing together.
I noticed that they were soaping each other and the lady was pulling the guys cock, her foam covered hand slipping up and down the slippery shaft.
I watched in awe as he grabbed at her huge breasts, which looked like melons, and gave them a good washing, taking care to tweak her nipples before his mouth descended upon them and his other hand disappeared between her thighs.
I should walk away and mind my business, but I didn’t know why I stood there and kept watching them. My pussy twitched madly as his tongue flickered over her nipples before he sucked one deep into his mouth, stretching it out as she squealed with delight.
She grabbed hold of his head, smothering him into her breasts as water gushed over his hair and face before he broke free to take in some air.
Checking to make sure there was no one looking at me as I watched them.
I found myself desiring to be touched like the lady. While I closed my eyes and pictured being touched, my mind went to Alessandro who was here with me.
We have never kissed or touched before, but I still remember the dream I had about him.
Holding my breath, I watched as the man stood behind the lady and bent her forward. His massive cock, all shiny and wet, probed around her arse cheeks before it slipped into her pussy.
She placed her hands against the wall and pushed back, grinding her arse into him, while his fingers gripped her hips and he slammed his rock hard cock into her.
The slapping of their wet bodies and her moaning seemed to echo in the quiet place.
Watching them more and more was turning me on. I told myself that I shouldn’t be watching them, but my eyes just couldn’t stop itself.
"I have to stop watching this," I whispered to myself.
But I couldn't look away. The couple was still kissing and f**king each other.
My body felt strange. I was excited, but I knew I shouldn't be.
"What's wrong with me?" I thought. I should have been disgusted, but instead, I was turned on.
As I kept watching, my body started to react. My heart was beating fast, and my skin felt funny.
I was embarrassed, but I couldn't move. I was stuck.
"No, no, no," I told myself.
"I need to leave now." But my feet wouldn't move. I was trapped. I wanted to leave, but I also wanted to keep watching.
Just then, the couple got even louder. I knew I really had to go. But I was still watching until I heard.
“Aurora, where are you?”
Sh*t it was Alessandro.
“Aurora? He asked again when I didn’t answer. His voice became louder.
“Where are you?”
Fear ran through me like a shock. I quickly turned away from the couple, my heart beating fast.
I took short, uneven breaths, trying to calm down.
"Aurora?"
Alessandro's voice was closer now. I pressed myself against the tree, feeling embarrassed. What was I doing?
Then, I felt someone behind me. It was Alessandro. His voice was low and firm.
"Aurora."
I jumped around to face him. His eyebrows were frowned, and his eyes were looking at me strangely.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked, his voice calm but curious.
I tried to speak, but I couldn't find the words. Should I tell him the truth? That I was watching the couple?
But before I could answer, Alessandro looked past me. His body became tense.
Then, he heard the couple's noises. His jaw clenched, and his body became rigid.
He realized what I had been doing. "You were watching them," he said quietly.
I felt ashamed. "I—"
I started to say, but Alessandro's eyes locked onto mine. He took a step closer to me, his eyes dark and serious.
