Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 137: Melting into His Touch

*Eliza*

“This place is….” I couldn’t even form words….

Jared carried me through the white picket fence gate that surrounded the front yard. He carried me up the stone

walkway lined with ground-creeping roses that were closed for the night.

On the covered porch, there was a bench swing, and the garden around the porch was stunning.

I could practically see our child playing in the yard when they got older.

My heart swelled and I clung to Jared as he carried me up the stairs.

On the inside, the house was cozy. There was a moderate size living room that opened into a kitchen with double

doors to a patio in the backyard.

He carried me up the carpeted stairs and to the master bedroom. It was a three-bedroom house and when we

walked past one of the closed doors, he paused.

“This could be the nursery.” He nodded to the closed door.

My stomach squirmed and I still could think of anything to say. This was so perfect it literally took my breath away.

In the master bedroom, Jared lay me on the large bed, right in the middle.

“This is… unreal….” I whispered.

Jared smirked as he pulled my heels off. “Well, we never had a real honeymoon, so the time we spend here can

make up for that.”

Jared’s eyes lit up as he roamed them over me. My heart hammered in my chest and I felt shy suddenly. I curled

my knees to my chest as he sat on the bed beside me.

“Where do you think you’re going?” He grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently.

I felt my cheeks get warm. The blush spread down my neck and across my breast. Why was I so shy suddenly?

“This is so much more than what I expected,” I admitted.

Jared ran his thumb across my knuckles. “I only want to make you feel comfortable. If this is too much, we can go

back to your parents’ house.”

I shook my head quickly. “No, that’s not what I meant. This place is amazing. I just can’t believe it is all ours!”

“Believe it. Since this is unofficially our honeymoon, I think it is only fair that I spend an unreasonable amount of

time pampering you.”

I giggled. “Is there an unreasonable amount of time to do that?”

Jared smirked. “No, absolutely not. Seeing as you’ve been on your feet all day, I thought I’d start there.”

“Start…?”

Jared pulled a bottle of lotion out of the bedside table. He repositioned himself on the end of the bed and pushed

my dress up my legs.

He squirted some lotion into his hand and slathered it on one of my feet. The lotion was cold but I forgot about that

a second later when Jared started massaging my foot, working his fingers into all the creases and crevices.

Moaning, I leaned back on the pillows and relaxed. I closed my eyes, enjoying the way he dug all the tension out of

my feet.

After several minutes, Jared switched to my other foot. The feeling was just as divine and I melted into his touch.

Slowly, he worked up my calves, using the same massaging techniques to work the tension out of my legs. As he

went, he pushed my dress up higher to get to my thighs.

I relaxed completely, turning into a puddle of mush as all the tension left my body and his fingers continued to relax

me.

All the loneliness I’d been feeling, how much I missed him, it welled to the surface again. How could I have thought

that he didn’t care about me? With how much care he showed me now, it was inconceivable to think he ever felt

any differently toward me.

I opened my eyes and saw Jared looking at me. His eyes were filled with so much love and adoration. It was like he

could barely contain his emotions.

At that moment, I knew without a doubt that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and I was going to….

“What’s on your mind?” Jared asked.

He leaned in closer, hovering just above my face.

I licked my lips slowly, trembling.

“I was thinking about… how I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Jared grinned and closed the space between us. He kissed me hard on the lips. Instantly, I wrapped my arms

around him and pulled him down to me.

I parted my lips, inviting him in. Jared pushed his tongue into my mouth, rolling it over mine. I pushed back with my

tongue, tasting him.

He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.

Our kiss brought a familiar spark back to me. I felt like I could sense his every emotion and desire. It was the same

connection we’d always had.

I moaned against Jared’s lips, kissing him more fervently. He ran his hands down my sides, the silk of my dress

rubbing against my skin, sending shivers through me.

I unbuttoned Jared’s shirt, running my fingers up and down his muscular chest. He grunted and pressed his lips

harder to mine.

Finally, I had to pull away and catch my breath. Panting, I looked deeply into Jared’s eyes. His expression was so full

of love and appreciation I thought my heart would explode.

I still clung to him, refusing to let him go. Now that I had him back, I’d never let him go.

“I love you, Eliza,” he whispered. His voice was deep and quiet but filled with emotion, almost like he was afraid to

express those things aloud.

He bowed his head, resting his forehead against mine.

“I never want to lose you or our child.”

My heart swelled in my chest, about ready to burst right through my rib cage. Jared lifted his head and our eyes

met again. I couldn’t speak. All I could do was stare deeply into his eyes and hope that he saw how much love I had

for him there.

Jared wanted what I wanted. He wanted to be together forever and to protect our child. I really couldn’t ask for

more from the man I’d given my life to.

“I love you too, Jared. And I want to be with you forever, a real family.”

A spark ignited in Jared’s eyes. He grinned and kissed me again. I grabbed him, pulling him closer, and rolled my

body against his.

Jared smirked against my lips and pulled the zipper down the back of my dress.

Clothes on the floor, he kissed along my jawline, down my neck, and across my shoulder. His lips were warm and

hot, sending shocks of pleasure through me as his hands moved up and down my sides.

I ran my fingers down Jared’s spine and he shivered, bringing his lips back to mine. We explored each other’s

bodies with the lightest, most erotic caresses. I memorized each line and curve of his muscles.

Our lips never parted as we gave over to our passions. My legs quivered with desire, every moment, every touch

reminding me why I loved him and how much I craved his touch.

Moaning, I pulled his body against mine, skin on skin, and I wrapped my legs around him. My insides pulsing with

heat and lust.

Jared grunted, pleased. He grabbed my hips and thrust inside of me, slowly, tantalizingly.

I threw my head back, moaning as his stiff arousal filled me completely, stretching my insides apart pleasantly.

I curled my fingers around his shoulders, gasping as I kept kissing him.

I gave myself over to him completely, letting passion and pleasure drive me as our bodies moved together in the

perfect rhythm.

Completely spent, Jared and I lay together, our legs still intertwined, our heavy breathing mixed together. He rested

his head on my breast, clinging to me. My heart beat rapidly against his cheek.

After a long moment, Jared turned on his side. He slipped one arm around my shoulders, pulling me against him,

and he placed his other hand on my belly.

“How’s everything going in there?”

“We are absolutely fine,” I assured, covering his hand with mine.

“Ever since you told me you were pregnant, I’ve had all these beautiful dreams of our future and our family. Now, I

want to spend the rest of my life making sure they come true.”

“What kind of dreams?” I tilted my head up to look into his face.

“Eventually… a little house out of the way where we can raise our kids quietly.”

“Kids?” I asked.

Jared chuckled. “Well, after seeing you and your family, I feel like a big family is the way to go.”

I sighed and rested my head on his chest.

“So, yes, we will raise our kids in a quiet part of the countryside. But we will make regular visits to the capital so our

kids can visit with their cousins and family. And hopefully, we can come to the Light Realm regularly so we can see

your parents and the entire extended family.”

“You really have it all planned out, don’t you?” I asked. I yawned and smiled. Jared painted a beautiful picture of our

future together.

“Our children won’t want for anything but they won’t be spoiled, either. They’ll live real, exciting lives with

adventure and enrichment.”

“Not too much adventure, I hope. Look where that got us….” I giggled again.

“Our lives haven’t been so bad. Just look where we are now.”

I nodded and snuggled closer to Jared. I felt so safe and loved in his embrace. When he talked to me about the

future, I knew he’d always be there to hold me.

I listened to Jared talk about the future of our family and what he wanted us to have as my eyelids grew heavy. I felt

his heart beating against his cheek, my own heart beating in my breast in time with his.

Like we were one.

Suddenly, I realized that I was home–not in the Light Realm, not in the house that we were in, but with Jared. He

was my home. Wherever he was, it was my home. Nothing could ever tear us apart again, I was sure of it.

Jared’s voice faded away into heavy breathing. Our arms still wrapped around each other, legs entwined, I felt like it

was the perfect ending to a great day.

My eyelids finally drooped closed. Jared’s chest rose and fell deeply. He was asleep.

I was right on the edge of sleep when a shiver ran down my spine and I heard a distant, eerie voice.

“You may have won for now, but I’m not going anywhere….”

The whisper was so faint I thought I was dreaming it. But I knew the voice.

Hestia….

“I will finish what I started, in this generation or the next. You’ll never be rid of me.”
