Chapter 358 Zeke and Alicia - Part 7

Alicia felt like he was tearing her apart. He was so hard, so thick, and so freaking rough, and yet, the pleasure was overwhelming.

Ezekiel had always been intense when he stopped holding himself back, but right now, this was a whole new level. His strength was simply insane. If she hadn't been temporarily healed by Elle's incredible fae magic, she was certain she wouldn't be able to keep up with him. She was certain she would actually break.

She now understood why he had been torturing himself by holding back. Right now, there was no sign of the calm, collected, and ever-so-regal Ezekiel that everyone knew. Right now, he was high demon Ezekiel, out of control.

And yet, despite his impossibly hard thrusts that made her yelp in both pleasure and pain, Alicia found herself thrilled and exhilarated. Heaven above... she was truly at this man's mercy. She was fully and irrevocably his, regardless of what he had become. And she fully and irrevocably wanted him, desired him, loved him, no matter how extreme he had become.

She was just glad that despite everything that was going on with her, she had always been able to handle him. As if no matter what, she was made for him, and he for her.

As she looked up at his handsome face, Alicia felt so lucky that she was the only one seeing him like this. The only one who would ever know this side of him.

"Ez... ze... kiel..." she uttered his name brokenly due to his hard thrusts when he growled and stood up at the end of the bed.

He pulled her by her legs, and then lifted her lower back before his cock impaled into her. She shrieked, her mouth hanging open. He was so damn deep inside her.

"Oh, Ali... cia..." he moaned her name, his eyes glassy with lust. And when she followed his line of sight and saw what he was staring at, she saw a little bulge appearing every time he thrust into her. To watch her body bulge like that... she was... hypnotized.

"Fuck... you're driving me... crazy..." he moaned as his pace went impossibly fast, and Alicia felt like her breath was being taken away.

She couldn't even utter a coherent word anymore as his deliciously intense thrusts began to bring her to the very heights of heaven once again.

And then he bent and claimed her mouth without stopping or slowing down his thrusts until Alicia scratched his back, and Alicia bit his neck, drinking his blood as they both shattered at the same time.

Their orgasm was so intense it was almost impossible. So intense that it seemed to have lasted for eternity. So intense that when they finally came back to earth, they looked at each other with eyes filled with disbelief.

For a long while, the two of them remained entangled, never moving away from each other's embrace. He didn't even bother to pull out of her.

No words came out of their lips as they simply held each other, listening to their heartbeats, to their breaths.

Until finally, Zeke lifted his hand and his fingers gently brushed against her cheek.

"I love you," he whispered, his voice husky and deep as he kissed her forehead.

Alicia smiled, her heart so full of utter happiness and contentment as she remembered the exact words he had told her more than ten years ago. When he said, "When I come back... I will say those words to you every chance I get. And as many times as you want to hear it."

"I love you too... so much," she replied, tearing up because he had finally fulfilled his promise.

Zeke's fingers brushed against her cheek, his touch gentle and comforting. "Please don't..."

"These are tears of joy, my love," she said, smiling, and he kissed her eyes.

"Are you... okay?" he asked, his voice barely audible, that if she hadn't become a vampire, she was certain it wouldn't be possible for her to hear him. "I know I was... too much."

"I love you," she replied. "I loved it..."

He caught his lower lip between his teeth before he buried his face in her hair, groaning.

"It was... so indescribably good, Ezekiel. And you didn't hurt me. At all," she assured. "If you're skeptical, you can check yourself."

He groaned again, but his groan was such a sexy sound to her.

And then he released a long breath, as if he was so beyond relieved.

"You don't have to sleep if you don't want to," he murmured, his voice filled with tenderness. "We can stay like this for as long as you desire." His gaze met hers, full of love.

"I remember back when you always wanted me to go to sleep," she grinned at him, and he smiled back, his eyes gleaming like billions of stars.

Just then, Alicia was also reminded of the question she had been meaning to ask him.

"Ezekiel..." she murmured his name, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and vulnerability.

"Hmm..." he responded, his voice laced with warmth and affection.

"Is the reason why you couldn't tell me 'I love you' back then really because you wanted to wait until you returned?" she asked, her gaze searching his face for answers.

"I... I wanted to avoid... saying it."

"Why?" she asked hesitantly.

"Because..." he paused for a moment. "The few times I uttered those words to someone I care about... every time I returned to them, they weren't there waiting for me... alive," he revealed.

Alicia's heart clenched hard.

"I've been able to say it now, at long last, because I am no longer leaving you," his gaze held hers, unwavering. "This time, we will go together, Alicia."

She nodded, smiling back at him before she buried her face against his chest.

"What will you do when we meet again and I no longer... remember you?" Alicia then asked after listening to his heartbeat for a long while.

"I'll seduce you in an instant," he responded with a mischievous smirk.

"You do know I will most probably point a dagger at your neck if you do that, don't you, my husband?"

"I know. But I also know you will never do more than that. Though, I do expect a powerful punch from you," he told her, and they both chuckled.
