Acting on Impulse

Kaiden's POV

I didn’t give her a chance to decide. I wasn't even going to give myself the chance to decide either.


I was hell bent on doing this. My hands fumbled with the ties of her dress, my fingers were clumsy and urgent as I worked to loosen them.


She stiffened beneath my touch, I could feel her body tremble slightly, but she didn’t resist. Instead, she watched me with wide, dark eyes, her lips parted in a mixture of surprise and desire.


“You shouldn’t…” she started, her voice came out in a whisper, but it was lost as I captured her lips again, silencing any protest she might have made.


I didn't want to think this through. I had wanted to do this for so long and now was the best time. The perfect excuse, you may say…


The dress slipped down from her shoulders, and revealed the soft curve of her body, and I felt a surge of possessiveness rush through me.


Fuck. She looked heavenly and all mine.
She was mine—she had always been mine, and tonight, I would make sure she knew that.


The doubts, the anger, the rumors—all of it faded as I focused on the woman in my arms, the woman who had haunted my thoughts and dreams since the moment I laid eyes on her.


I kissed her with a hunger that bordered on desperation, my hands explored the smooth skin that was now exposed to me.


Lilian’s breath hitched as my fingers traced over her curves, and she arched into me, her hands shakily clutched at my shirt as if needing something to hold on to.


“Lilian…” I murmured her name against her skin, I could feel the shiver that ran through her in response. My hands continued their journey, pushing the fabric of her dress lower, until it pooled around her waist, leaving her bare before me.


The sight of her, the warmth of her skin, sent a rush of desire through me that was impossible to ignore. I could feel my manhood growing harder and more impatient.


“Kaiden… wait…” she tried again, her voice was still shaky, but the plea was weak, almost as if she didn’t truly want me to stop.


I looked into her eyes, searching for any sign that she wanted this as much as I did, and what I saw there made my decision for me.


Her eyes, which were dark with desire, mirrored the same longing I felt, the same need that had been simmering beneath the surface for too long.



I kissed her again, this time I did so slower, more deliberate, letting her feel every ounce of the passion that burned inside me.


She responded with equal fervor, her fingers slipping under the hem of my shirt, tugging it upwards until I had to break the kiss to pull it over my head.


The moment it was gone, I returned to her, pulling her against me so that there was nothing between us but the heat of our bodies.


I lost myself in the sensation of her, in the way her soft skin felt against mine, the way her breath hitched every time I touched her. The world outside us—everything that had driven me to drink, to escape—it all faded into the background.


There was only Lilian, only the way she made me feel, like nothing else mattered.


And I realized that she was what I needed, even more than the alcohol. Who needed alcohol when you could get intoxicated in the arms of the woman you desperately wanted to be with.



My hands roamed over her body, trying my hardest to commit every curve, every dip to my memory. Her hands moved over me in return, they were tentative at first but grew bolder as she became more lost in the moment.


We were both adrift, caught in a storm of emotions and desires that had been building for far too long.


“Kaiden…” Her voice was a breathless whisper as I lifted her, guiding her back onto the bed.


She went willingly, her eyes locked on mine. I knew she trusted me.


I covered her with my body, my lips never left hers as I made a slow, deliberate path down her neck, over her collarbone, and lower still.


Her breath came in quick, shallow gasps, her fingers threading through my hair as I kissed my way across her skin, savoring the taste of her, the feel of her wriggling in pleasure beneath me.



Time seemed to lose all meaning. There was no past, no future—only the present, the need to be with her, to claim her in every way possible.


I wasn’t sure when it happened, when we finally crossed that line, but when it did, it felt like the world shifted beneath us, like something deep and primal had finally snapped.


I could feel her everywhere and it made me run wild. My wolf threatened to come out and take control but I fought it.


I didn't think she would be able to handle it. My wolf was too primal for her. It could hurt her and that was not my intention. I wanted her to enjoy this. To savor it.


We moved together in a rhythm as old as time itself, the world outside us became distant and forgotten.


The connection between us, the bond that had always been there, now pulsed with new life, with a strength that was impossible to ignore. It was as if everything we had been through, every argument, every moment of tension, had led to this, to the moment where nothing else mattered but the two of us, our bodies against each other's. Just the two of us.



“Kaiden…” Her voice was soft, it was filled with so much emotion, and it only drove me further, pushing me to show her exactly what she meant to me.


Finally I knew that we were drawing to the close. I heard her scream underneath me and that pushed me off the edge.


What had felt like a slow build erupted into a cannon and it happened so fast that I couldn't stop it until I saw myself collapsing on the bed beside her, panting heavily.


....
It was over and we both lay together, tangled in the sheets, our breaths came out fast, not so even rhythms as we came down from the high of our union.


I held her close, my heart was still racing, my mind still spun from the alcohol and the intensity of what had just happened between us.


It wasn't expected. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her wet hair so tenderly.


“Lilian…” I whispered, my lips brushed gently against her hair as I pulled her even closer.

She murmured something in response as her body relaxed against mine as sleep began to claim her.
