67. LARA: HONEYMOON

“I’d feel much better if—”
“We’ll be fine,” Silas assured Devrim. “My senses are a lot better than they use to be. I don’t think anyone would try anything. We’ll be taking a business class plane. You told me that we need to stay off radar and that’s what we’ll be doing.”
Devrim and Silas stared at each other silently. My eyes darted away from them towards Obsidian who was leaning casually against the car. He had a cigarette hanging from his lips and his eyes were obviously focused on Vanya. A small smile slid onto my face. So she was the one he had feelings for.
“Lara.”
My eyes snapped towards Silas. “Yes?”
Amusement filled his eyes. Without saying a word, he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me against his side. I instantly relaxed against him. We were officially married! We were now husband and wife. I glanced down at the ring on my finger and smiled. Silas wore almost an exact replica.
“Do you have anything you want to do before we leave?” I glanced up at him. “We have about half an hour before our plane leaves.”
My eyes darted over to Obsidian again. “I just have to talk to someone. I’ll be right back.”
Without waiting for a reply, I stepped away from Silas and made my way towards the brooding man. Obsidian glanced at me when I stopped next to him. He sighed and reached up to pull the cigarette from his mouth. To my amusement he actually threw it to the ground and stomped on it. No man had ever put out their cigarette in my presence like he had.
“Hey.”
He grunted. Some of my confidence faded.
“How are you?”
He blinked at me. I sighed and then leaned against the car next to him. Mirroring his stance, I watched Vanya like he had been watching her. She was totally oblivious to his gaze on her.
“Just go for it.”
“W-what?” he croaked.
I straightened and turned towards him. He was frowning down at me with his lips pursed. I swallowed and then gave him a small smile.
“You know what I’ve learned since I met Silas?” He didn’t answer. “I learned that life is too short to worry about the ‘what if’s’ and live with regrets. You might never get the chance to be with her. When we were at the cliff, what was the first thing you thought of?”
It looked like he wasn’t going to answer me, but he surprised me when he answered my question without any hesitation. “Vanya. I thought of Vanya.”
“Stop being a pussy,” I smirked even though colour was flooding my cheeks from embarrassment. “Take a leap of faith, Obsidian.”
I gave him one last smile before I spun around and headed back to Silas. He smiled but didn’t ask what I said to him. With a few more goodbyes, Silas and I headed towards the airport building. It was a lot bigger than the one in Silas’s home town which I couldn’t understand since we were on an island.
Just the thought of his home made pain flash through me. I instantly shook the thoughts away. What happened had happened. Nobody could change that but we could make the best of what we had now. It was time to start our new life together.

I stretched lazily under the sheets and sighed.
My body instantly relaxed again. I opened my eyes and blinked up at the ceiling. A few rays of sun were slowly starting to fill the room. One glance at the clock on my beside table assured me that it was still too earlier to get up. I turned my head and smiled when my eyes fell on Silas. He was peacefully asleep on his stomach with both arms stretched over his head and buried underneath the pillow.
My eyes trailed lower over his bare skin. The sheets had slipped down but only covered his ass. I would never get tired of watching him. I smiled and turned onto my side to move the strands of hair from his forehead.
When Silas told me that we were going on a honeymoon, I never expected him to have rent a private island. We were totally alone on an island and I had to say that I loved it! There was no place I rather be than here on an island with my husband. He said that we could stay as long as I wanted to.
Silas stirred and then turned onto his back. I waited for him to wake up, but he didn’t. He was fast asleep which wasn’t that surprising. We went to bed at two o’clock this morning. Pushing myself up onto my elbow, I leaned over him and pressed a kiss against his lips. A gasp fell from my lips when his hand shot up and gripped the back of my neck.
His lips parted beneath mine and his tongue delved into my mouth. I moaned, and reached out to grip his shoulder. Silas suddenly ripped the sheet away and pulled me on top of him. His arousal was hard to miss and it matched my own. I broke the kiss and trailed my lips over his chin and down his neck. A shudder raced through him when I nipped at his neck where my mark was.
“Fuck,” Silas groaned. “I want you, sweetness.”
I smiled against his skin. Silas gripped my hips when I moved lower. I circled his nipple with my tongue and then sucked it into my mouth. A low growl fell from his lips, making his chest vibrate against my lips. His body jerked and his hold on my hips tightened when I bit down. Another curse fell from his lips.
My lips trailed lower and lower until I reached the sexy V that led down to his very aroused flesh. I wrapped my hand around his cock and my lips around the tip. The sweet salty taste of his pre-cum instantly assaulted my senses. A moan slipped past my lips as I took him deeper into my mouth.
“Lara,” he growled.
I gasped when he suddenly sat up and gripped my arms. Silas had me on my back and was hovering over me within seconds. I stared up at him in surprise. He spread my legs with his before settling between them. My lips parted but the words died down when he entered me in one thrust.
His lips smashed down on mine again as he stated to fuck me. I wrapped my legs higher on his hips and dug my nails into his skin. My actions seemed to spur him on. The sound of the bed slamming against the wall and skin slapping on skin was drowned out by Silas’s low growls and sounds of pleasure.
Silas threw his head back and roared when he reached his peak. The feel of his cock twitching inside me and then the sudden pressure of his cum, made me follow him over the edge. His body slumped against mine, pressing my weight deeper into the mattress. My body started responding again when his lips trailed up my neck. He nipped at my earlobe before raising his head to stare down at me.
“Hi.”
He chuckled. “Good morning, sweetness.”
“A very good morning,” I muttered.
His smile widened. Silas shifted until he leaned onto his elbows. One of his hands got buried in my hair and his other reached up to trail his knuckles over my cheek and down to the crook of my neck. I could see the pride shining in his eyes as he stared at his mark. Was he feeling the same as me?
“I marked you.”
“I marked you too.”
His eyes shot up to mine. Silas seemed to hesitate but he spoke anyway. “Remember that day I picked you up at your apartment for Andrea’s weddings?”
The mention of Andrea’s name made some of the happiness fade. It’s been so long since we talked and I really missed her. I swallowed and then nodded at him.
“Remember in the car when I was fingering you?” Colour flooded my cheeks. “You bit me then. You have no idea how badly I wanted to mark you right then. I wanted you to bare my mark.”
“You knew then?” I asked softly. “You knew that I was yours?”
He licked his lips. “I knew the moment I met you that you were made for me, Lara.”
Tears filled my eyes. How could I not have known like he had? Why was I so damn confused and he was so damn sure that I belonged to him when I still doubt him? I cupped his cheeks and leaned up to kiss him. I poured every ounce of love I felt for him into the kiss. It was slow and sweet and so unlike any other kiss we’ve shared before which made the tears spill over.
“Lara—”
“I love you so much, Silas,” I quickly interrupted. “I won’t be able to live without you.”
“And I wouldn’t survive without you,” he whispered. “Luckily we get to life a very, very, very long life together.”
I smiled at him. “Is that so?”
Silas shifted his hips. “Shifters live for a very long time, sweetness. We age slowly and we never get tired of fucking.”
“Well that’s good then,” I said huskily. “Show me what you got, baby.”
