~ Chapter Sixteen - Part 1 ~

Damien was confused. He wasn’t sure what was going on with Katalina. First, she had been wearing that amazingly sexy red dress that made his heart race and had his wolf, Ranger, begging for control. Next, she had made them a romantic dinner and even his favorite dessert with an extra surprise. Then, when he had tried to help her clean up, she shooed him away, telling him to take a relaxing shower.
Damien wasn’t paying any attention to their room as he went to the shower. When he stepped into the bathroom, he stopped in his tracks.
There were lit candles all over the bathroom. Damien raised an eyebrow as he walked to the shower and turned it on. He stripped, careful not to leave his clothes close to any of the candles, before getting into the shower. The water was hot and relaxing as Damien stepped under it. He let out a groan of appreciation as the water immediately started loosening up his muscles. He quickly washed up but stayed under the hot spray for a bit longer. It was pretty relaxing with the candles lit.
Damien finally got out of the shower and dried off a bit before wrapping the towel around his waist. He walked towards the door and frowned when he saw that there was no longer light on in the bedroom. He wondered if Katalina had gone to bed. He opened the door, and his eyes widened when he saw more candles lit around the room. He searched the room and found Katalina standing by the bed in the sexiest lingerie he had ever seen and her heels. “What is going on, little dove?” He asked as he walked up and gently caressed her face.
Katalina cleared her throat and firmly pushed him onto the bed. “Don’t worry, love,” she pushed him onto his back and leaned over him for a minute. She tilted her face so close to his that her lips brushed against his when she whispered. “Let me take care of you.”
Damien’s eyes burned with a hunger she knew all too well, but he let her take the lead. “Okay, dove,” he said quietly.
Katalina smiled as she stood up straight. “Turn onto your stomach for me, love,” she said softly.
Damien did as she asked and turned onto his stomach. Katalina climbed on top of him and grabbed the warmed massage oils she had bought earlier with Autumn’s help. She poured a bit into her hands and started massaging his neck and shoulders. Damien groaned as she magically worked the knots out his neck and shoulders. She massaged his entire body until all the knots and soreness were gone. Next, she removed his towel and rubbed some oil onto his back. She rubbed every inch of his back until all the tension and knots were gone.
When Katalina had finished with his backside, she gently patted his back. “Turn over for me, love,” she whispered as she stood up to give him space to do so.
Damien turned his back and watched as she sat on top of him again. He could feel his eyes shifting between his and Ranger’s as Katalina sat on his lap with her legs on either side of his hips. He groaned as she started massaging his chest with the same oils. He knew she might have been giving him an innocent massage to help him relax, but that didn’t stop the hunger that burned through his body. The need that he felt as she moved down to massage his thighs. She was so close to his rock-hard erection. He had been that way since he saw her in her almost non-existent lingerie. He tried to control himself as she massaged his legs and feet.
Once Katalina had finished massaging his entire body, she sat on his lap again. Damien placed his hands on her hips and sat up a bit. He knew his voice had a rough edge when he spoke as he tried to keep Ranger contained. “Now, my little dove,” his grip tightened slightly as his eyes flashed back and forth between his and Rangers’. “I know that something is going on in your wicked little mind,” he tilted his head slightly as he looked into her eyes. “What’s going on?” He asked softly.
Katalina sighed as she lightly trailed her fingers over his chest and stomach. “While we were on our mission to help Anna, I did a lot of thinking. Not just about this whole war thing but also about us,” she whispered. She bit her lip as she looked down at her hands, which were lightly drawing random shapes over his chest and stomach. “Ever since I’ve gotten Savannah, I know how hard it is to keep my hands off you. I understand how hard it must be for you,” Katalina said softly without lifting her eyes from his chest. “I know that you’ve been patient with me, and I truly appreciate that,” she said as she finally looked into his eyes again. “I had time to think about everything, and I’m ready. I’m ready to become yours completely. I’m ready to start a family with you,” she whispered as she raised her hands to caress his face.
Damien stared at her wide eyes as his hands tightened more on her hips. He knew his eyes had shifted to Ranger’s as he asked her. “Are you completely sure, little dove?” He ground his teeth together before continuing. “I’m not going to be able to stop once we get started.”
Katalina took a deep breath and nodded. “I am sure, love,” she looked into his eyes and firmly held his face in her hands. “Make me yours, Damien.”
Damien didn’t need any more than that. He gently flipped them over so that Katalina was underneath him. “If I start to get too rough, just tell me, dove,” he whispered. “I’ll do my best to control Ranger, but I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to.”
Katalina gave him a nod. “I understand, love.”
Damien nodded and kissed Katalina with every ounce of passion in his body. He trailed kisses from the corner of her mouth down her neck. He licked and nipped to the top of the lingerie that covered her breasts. “This looks amazing on you, dove, but it has to come off.”
Katalina sat up slightly and pulled at the string that held it together. It fell away from her breasts as Damien gently pushed it down. “It’s all one piece,” she whispered.
Damien grinned as he pulled it down her body until he got to her heels. He tore it off her but grinned. “I think I want you to keep the heels on while we do this. They are sexy as hell.”
