Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 

Willow 

In the gentle embrace of slumber I languidly shifted, drawing comfort from the delightful warmth enveloping me. It was an embrace so reassuring that I yearned to immerse myself further, to dissolve into its familiar, inviting embrace. Amidst this comforting cocoon, an unmistakable masculine scent mingled with the familiar warmth, wafting up to greet my senses. Gradually, I roused from my somnolent state, my gaze meeting the blurry apparition of Reuben’s countenance. With a series of deliberate blinks, clarity seeped into my vision, revealing his peaceful repose; his eyes gently shut, deeply ensconced in slumber. 

Our faces were in such close proximity that the slightest movement on my part threatened an inadvertent meeting of our l*ps. 

Stationary and contemplative, I directed my gaze–upward, registering the unfamiliarity of my surroundings. I was in Reuben’s bed. How had circumstances conspired to place me in this condition with him? 

As I tried to piece together the events of the previous night, my mind felt like a foggy puzzle that was missing crucial pieces. However, when my gaze locked onto Reuben’s l*ps, the memories flooded back. I remembered him rushing to the riverbank to rescue me, escorting me back to the sanctuary of the Emerald Bright Pack, then enveloping my cold shaking form with his warmth. I hesitated, pausing in my recollection as my mind touched upon the segment where he stripped me, leaving me bare as we shared the warmth of his b*dy. My pulse quickened at the recollection of the fervent heat that coursed between us. His lustful eyes held the depths of his desires as he warmed me with his b*dy heat. Just thinking about his self control from the previous night when it came to his lust for me, drew my attention subconsciously to his crimson–hued l*ps. 

I found myself compelled to graze my fingertips over my own lower l*p, still tender from the lingering imprint of his k*ss. 

He had k*ssed me. 

Not once, but twice throughout the night. Then to make matters worse I could not resist it even though I did not k*ss back. After six long years, I was once again back in his 

arms. 

The memory of our n*ked bodies tucked beneath this blanket brought back the vivid recollection of Reuben’s arousal from the previous night, his desire to be intimate with me. Even in the throes of undeniable desire, he refrained from laying a finger upon me

after my refusal. His self control surprised and attracted me for some reason. 

I couldn’t resist the impulse to lift my hand and brush a fingertip over Reuben’s eyelashes. The contrast between the Reuben I knew from six years ago and the person laying before me now was surprising. 

How profoundly he had transformed over these six years? If this were the Reuben I knew six years ago, he would have employed any means necessary to coax my compliance whether it was pushing me, cajoling me, or manipulating me to have a S*x with him but this time… 

“He accepted his punishment,” Ceri’s voice reverberated within the recesses of my mind, her words resonating with my thoughts. 

My heart raced hearing her words. Reuben was never one to concede fallibility or entertain the notion of making mistakes, let alone accept a punishment. Yet, last night, he acquiesced. He cradled me in his arms, exposed and vulnerable, yet abstained from any S*xual advances, embracing me solely to impart warmth upon my chilled form. 

The boundaries between being a married couple and lovers had blurred for Reuben and I long ago, especially after we learned we were mates. Our n*ked entwined bodies. throughout the night had become our version of a marriage bed, his whispered intimate confessions served as our vows. The warmth radiating from his b*dy had woven itself into my very being, creating an addiction that persisted even after six years apart. 

Throughout our time together, there had rarely been a day when we refrained from physical proximity. Our hands seemed to have a mind of their own, seeking each other out instinctively. However, this time despite the familiarity and history between us, he respected my refusal and kept his hands to himself. It was a departure from our usual closeness, a testament to his restraint and respect for my boundaries at that moment. 

My fingers, seemingly guided by some subconscious impulse, grazed his long beautiful lashes. Suddenly, his eyes shot open, catching me off guard. Startled, I withdrew my hand but his swift grip captured my wrist midway. 

“Where did you learn this bad habit of touching me in sleep, Willow?” His voice, slow and seductive, penetrated the air as his gaze bore into mine. 

“I… I was just…” I bit my l*p, unable to think of an excuse. I did not know why I touched. him either. 

A small smile appeared on Reuben’s l*ps as he rubbed his nose against mine softly, “Do you want me to die of morning hardness?” he whispered.

His mention of “morning hardness” brought a sudden awareness to the firm presence pressing that had been against my belly since the beginning. My face flushed crimson. in realization. “I… I’m sorry,” I stammered, quickly averting my eyes in embarrassment. 

Wait a minute! Why was I apologizing and feeling guilty for his hardness? Ceri suddenly shot me a meaningful look at this thought. As I pondered this, I could not help but wonder was he awake all along? Had he merely closed his eyes, waiting to see how I would react? 

Reuben chuckled warmly, pulling me into a tight embrace. “It’s alright, you can try out every possible bad habit on me one by one. Your ‘torture‘ brings me pleasure too,” he teased, lowering his face to nibble softly on my flushed ear. 

Unexpectedly, a soft moan sl*pped passed my l*ps, eliciting a reflexive flinch, and a rush of embarrassment. I glanced at him with wide eyes, cursing myself for sounding so needy and explicit. Shit, I hadn’t meant to reveal that side of myself. His smile in response to my reaction only deepened the redness stealing over my cheeks. He still knew exactly how to find my weak points even after all this time. A mere nip from him sent a flood of sparks through my entire b*dy especially between my legs, increasing my achiness of my wet channel. 

This man… he was intentionally turning me on! 

“I… I should go,” I stammered, attempting to push him away, feeling a surge of panic that he might notice my arousal. 

“No, you’ll get cold, he pulled me back, refusing to release his tight hold on me. Ceri got lost in his embrace, relishing the attention of our mate, I however felt a conflicting rush of sensations. My n*pples responded to the contact with his bare chest, stiffening at the touch. I bit down on my li 

trying to suppress the forbidden sensations and my rising arousal. 

“I’m really fine now, I should go,” I insisted, squirming in his grasp, urgency pushing me to escape the room before things escalated. 

“Shh… His sudden movement caught me off guard as he gently pressed me back onto the bed, his b*dy hovering over mine, maintaining the closeness between us. “It’s not something you or I can decide, Willow,” he murmured, tucking my hair behind my ear. The warmth of his touch a shiver down my spine, his gaze locked onto mine, observing my every reaction as our bodies remained intimately entwined. 

Then who gets to decide?” I asked, averting my gaze from his, feeling the intensity of his presence combine with the awareness of every curve and contour that our close proximity allowed him to feel.

A knock on the door broke the charged atmosphere, as Mia’s voice filled the room, “Alpha, it’s Mia. You called for me?” 

Startled, I became acutely aware of our n*kedness, feeling like I had been caught in the act while Reuben remained unfazed. “Why did you call her?” I questioned, shooting a disapproving glance at him. Calm as ever, he rose from my b*dy then from the bed. Panicking, I hastily pulled the blanket over my chest, sitting up on the bed. 

“Don’t worry, the doors are locked,” he chuckled, tossing one of his clean white shirts at my head. I looked at his shirt for a second then realized it was the shirt that I had gifted him for graduation. He… he still had it? 

“Wear it for now,” he playfully ruffled my hair, reminiscent of the way he used to treat me when we first met eleven years ago. My hands paused before I could pull the shirt over my head, the tips of my ears turning red at the familiar gesture. Back when we were together he had acted like my guardian, treating me delicately, and my feeling couldn’t help but be stirred by his nostalgic behavior once again. It made: 

tingle. 

my heart 

“Stop it…” I began, pushing his hand away and gazed up at him with a serious expression. “I haven’t failed to notice how handsy you’ve been all morning, I gave him a serious look. “Have you misunderstood something? Just because I slept with you last night doesn’t mean you can- 

“Can not what?” he interrupted, leaning down and silencing me with a sudden, passionate k*ss. I gasped in surprise, my eyes widening as he deepened the k*ss, leaving me breathless before gently breaking it. 

“Don’t threaten to snatch something away that is already mine, Willow,” he whispered, his thumb possessively rubbing my lower l*p. His eyes burned with desire as he continued, “You know how easily I am provoked, right?” I stared into his intense gaze as my breath caught in my throat, uncertain of his cryptic words. “Put the shirt on, opening the door,” he stated, withdrawing his hand and heading towards the door. 

I am 

I sat there buttoning the shirt still processing the intensity of the moment and meaning behind his words as he opened the door for Mia. 

“Check her,” Reuben ordered Mia, prompting her to approach me. However, my attention was drawn to the wide–open door, through which Ella had passed with another pack member. Her eyes locked on the scene, me in Reuben’s shirt with messy bedding tucked around me and Reuben halfway dressed in front of the wardrobe. She paused abruptly as I witnessed a pinched expression on her face. 

“How are you feeling, Willow?” Mia’s inquiry grabbed my attention.

“I’m fine.” I replied with a smile, glancing back at the now–empty doorway where Ella had vanished. 

“Hmm… I doubt it. Mia murmured while checking my eyes. “Are you feeling weak?” 

“Yes, a little,” I shyly admitted. Reuben, who had been standing by the wardrobe, immediately glanced in my direction.
