Chapter 476

~Snow’s POV~

The morning air was crisp, the kind that clung to your skin and reminded you the world kept spinning, even when your heart was tied up in knots.

I zipped up my travelling bag even as the weight of the trip ahead pressed on my shoulders. The alliance with Alpha Draven couldn’t wait—not after the threats we’d sniffed out along the border.

Zara stepped into the room barefoot from the restroom, having brushed her teeth and washed her face, her hair still tousled from sleep. "Let me come with you."

I didn’t even look up. "No."

She pouted, arms folded over the oversized shirt she’d stolen from my drawer. My favourite one.

"Snow—"

I turned and walked toward her, cupping her cheek gently. "You know I love you. I cannot let you undertake this journey. You’ve done enough already... bringing me back and keeping yourself for me amongst other things. Now, rest and allow me to finish this."

Zara’s eyes narrowed, and she pressed her lips tightly. "I’m not fragile, you know."

"I know," I murmured, brushing my thumb across her cheekbone. "But you’ve been out of work too long. You need to stabilise the company while I’m gone. You’re needed here."

She cocked a brow. "Exactly why I should come."

"No. I’m the head. I’m your alpha. Your husband—" she narrowed her eyes, giving me that icy deathly stare and I swallowed as I quickly corrected myself. "—To be."

Zara smiled, her dangerous look gone without a trace. I sighed, tilting my head. "Yes. I know we divorced, but Zara, please... listen to me."

Her voice dropped low. "Then let us do it as a couple."

I stared at her for a long second, jaw clenching, thinking of how to stop this woman from stressing herself.

But then she said it. "I’ll just have to go to Kaid and ask for help."

Everything inside me snapped.

In the blink of an eye, I grabbed her and had her pinned against the wall before I even realized I’d moved. My lips crushed hers, wild and full of heat, possessive in a way words could never be.

She whimpered beneath me, her fingers curling in my shirt.

I pulled back, breath ragged, heart thundering. "Don’t say his name like that," I growled, my eyes burning—one violet, the other blue as I stared into her eyes, but I ignored it, thinking it was nothing and focused on my bride-to-be. "You belong to me. Don’t make me take you here and now."

Zara blinked up at me, stunned and breathless. "Oh, okay then. I’ll just... get ready."

I leaned in again, brushing my lips against hers. "That’s not what I meant."

She stilled when I pushed my hips forward, letting my crotch brush agains hers.

"I meant fuck you silly right now," I whispered against her skin, "so no one else’s mouth, no one else’s fingers, could ever make you feel even half as good."

Zara’s cheeks flushed. She licked her lips. "You already have."

That was all the invitation I needed.

I scooped her up and dropped her gently onto the couch, kneeling between her legs. Her shirt had ridden up from the rush, baring the smooth expanse of her thighs—long, warm, and already trembling.

I didn’t rush.

I ran my hands up her legs slowly, fingertips grazing her skin like she was silk spun over steel. The soft moan she let out was worth the patience. When I reached her hips, I pushed her shirt higher, exposing the curve of her waist, her stomach, until her breasts spilled free. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Zara sucked in a breath, her chest rising as I took in the sight of her—flushed, breathing hard, already so reactive.

"You’re beautiful," I murmured.

Then I leaned down and caught her nipple in my mouth, sucking gently at first, then deeper, tongue swirling as my hand found the other breast, rolling the hardened peak between my fingers.

She gasped, arching into me, fingers flying to my hair as she clutched me close.

"Snow... oh gods... yes..."

Her voice was breathy, pleading, and it only drove me further.

I gave each breast the same reverence—tongue flicking, lips pulling, hands kneading. I wanted her trembling before I even made it between her legs.

By the time I kissed a slow trail down her stomach, her body was already twitching beneath my touch, skin burning with heat. I paused just above the waistband of her panties, pressing a kiss to the soft flesh of her hip.

Her hips lifted without a word. An offering.

Good girl.

I hooked my fingers under the thin fabric and peeled it down inch by inch, teasing every part of her thighs with soft bites and open-mouthed kisses until she was squirming.

"You’re going slow on purpose," she panted.

"Of course," I said, voice husky. "You deserve to be worshipped."

And I meant every damn word.

I nudged her thighs apart and settled between them, inhaling her scent. Gods, she was already wet, slick and glistening, swollen with need.

I kissed the inside of her thigh first, slowly and deliberately, then moved higher. She whimpered when I blew a soft breath against her core, her hips jerking in anticipation.

"Snow, please..."
