116 The Alpha’s Insecurity
“Mmph...”
Ronan could not remember the last time Lucien took the initiative to kiss him, let alone kiss him in front of others.
Lucien pried Ronan’s lips open and gently sucked on his tongue. Ronan’s mind went blank right away. For all it mattered, Kendra just dissipated into thin air. Both of his hands flew to Lucien’s waist and kneaded it.
Lucien’s eyes fluttered open.
The kiss ended as fast as it began. Lucien’s tongue lightly scraped Ronan’s lips as they parted, leaving Ronan to ache for more. Just like a desert wanderer who only got to take one precious sip of water.
“I believe you have the answer now,” Lucien said to Kendra. Speechless, Kendra stared at Lucien without blinking even once. She looked as if she was about to get a heart attack soon.
It was not some she-wolf of good breeding from a different pack.
It was not some rogue she-wolf.
It was... the Alpha of the Infinite Eclipse Pack!
.....
Rumors about Lucien and Ronan did spread in the Silent Walkers Pack years ago, but Kendra dismissed them completely. She never thought that... that Lucien... that Lucien and Ronan!!!
Seeing that Kendra was still in her own world, Lucien passed her a curt smile and turned to look at Ronan. The Alpha cleared his throat to suppress the urge to kiss Lucien one more time.
“Let’s go,” Lucien said. He then dragged the Alpha out of the kitchen.
Ronan shot Kendra a sympathetic look before he left the kitchen. It was too bad for Kendra, but Ronan felt a little better now that he was not the only one who had to suffer from Lucien’s merciless rejections.
He obediently followed as Lucien dragged him all the way to his bedroom. He only let go of Ronan’s hand after the door closed behind them.
“What are you following me around for?” Lucien demanded to know. He put both hands at his waist and pinned Ronan with a glare.
The latter merely covered the top half of his face with his hand and sighed.
“You don’t really have anything to talk about, do you?”
“No,” Ronan admitted.
They already agreed to sleep early that night. There was no urgent matter to talk about. Not yet anyway.
Lucien furrowed his brows at the man in front of him. “You know I hate to be followed around.”
“I know,” he repeated his words.
Ronan might have grown up, but he was acting the same way he did back then when they were teenagers. Lucien remembered the young Ronan who stalked him for days. He ended up scolding the boy, only to hear his love confession that warm summer day.
Lucien put his arms around Ronan and leaned against the man’s broad and warm chest. Ronan wrapped his lover in an embrace and pressed a kiss on the side of his head.
“Did you feel insecure?” Lucien asked.
“Mhm. A little.”
Lucien looked up at Ronan.
“And now?”
Now? Ronan was happy that Lucien openly disclosed their relationship to Kendra, but the fact that Kendra pursued Lucien was disconcerting enough. How many more flies did Ronan have to swat away to keep Lucien safe?
His insecurity might never go away.
“Oh, Ronan.”
Best
Lucien sighed. He pulled away from Ronan’s embrace when the Alpha failed to respond to his query.
“Lulu.”
Ronan pulled Lucien back into his arms.
“I am sorry. It’s just... The temptation is too big. You always preached about being a good Alpha, marrying a Luna, and having pups. Now you have the chance to do so. I can’t blame you if you want to grasp the chance.”
Ronan did not even want to talk about Kendra and Lucien being childhood sweethearts. Or that Kendra knew Lucien longer than Ronan did. Thinking about these things only served to add fuel to Ronan’s jealousy.
Lucien grabbed Ronan by his jaw and grinned from ear to ear.
“Is that so? Should I go back to Kendra now to tell her that we can hold the wedding ceremony right after the war ends? And then we can start making babies together...”
“NO!!!!” Ronan did not want to listen more to Lucien’s alternative love life. One without Ronan. The Alpha tightened his arms around Lucien’s body. “You are mine. You promised to give us a chance.”
He meant to be intimidating, but he sounded like he was begging instead.
“Heh.”
Lucien patted Ronan’s cheek a couple of times.
“Isn’t it better to just trust me? I will not go against my words. Not without a good reason anyway.”
Landon would ensure that any good reason turned into a meaningless wisp of smoke.
“Mh, you better don’t.”
Ronan took Lucien’s hand and planted small kisses along his palm and the inner side of his hand. An idea manifested itself in Ronan’s head. There was something that Lucien could do for him to alleviate his insecurity to some degrees.
Ronan did not shy away from asking directly.
“I need something, Lulu. Something to tell everyone that you are mine.”
“Go buy us a pair of rings. I will wear it,” Lucien quipped, still thinking about the Clearwater family’s heirloom ring.
A chuckle escaped Ronan. Rings? If anything, it would be hand shackles, not rings.
“Eventually,” he said. “But for now I want something else.”
“Like what?”
“Like this.”
Ronan’s hand wandered to Lucien’s neck and settled on his nape.
“Let me bite you.”
Lucien raised an eyebrow in surprise. Ronan Silverback, asking for permission to bite him? Was Judgment Day nearing or what?
“Fancy hearing you ask for permission. You never bothered with it before.”
Ronan flashed Lucien a charming smile.
“Should you not reward me for my good behavior then?”
“Heh,” Lucien scoffed. “We are not having sex right now. Even if you bite me, it is not going to do anything.”
“It’s fine. I just want to leave my mark on you.”
Lucien rolled with his eyes.
He then unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt and pulled it down, exposing his nape to Ronan’s eyes.
“Go ahead,” Lucien said in a sultry voice. “Bite me all you want, then.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
