Chapter 252: Love And Lust
Liam’s P.O.V.
The moonlight spilled across the polished floor of our little mating cabin, creating shadows that danced around us like silent witnesses. Mai and I stood at the heart of it all, fingers entwined, hearts pounding in sync. It still felt surreal—after everything we’d survived, every battle and scar—we were finally here. The pack’s jubilant escort had faded into the distance, leaving only the quiet hum of our breaths and the promise of what was to come.
Mai’s curls tumbled freely down her back, untamed and bold, a perfect counter to the refined grace of the space around us. Her eyes pinned me in place—intense, strong, full of fire. In them, I saw her strength, her hunger, her unwavering love. I met her gaze head-on, unshaken. We had bled, healed, and risen together. Now, nothing stood between us and the sacred moment we were about to claim.
I could feel my heart vibrating with electricity and I knew Mai felt the same way, but before anything else, we needed a moment to breathe—to wash away the remnants of the night and step into this new beginning sparkling.
"That was fun but very hectic. Let’s take a shower, oK?" Mai said as if reading my mind.
I raised an eyebrow. "Together?"
She rolled her eyes but smiled. "Obviously, idiot. Do you know how long I’ve wanted to shower with you?"
I laughed, and she shook her head. Then, without another word, she took my hand in her warm one and led me toward the bathroom.
The steam from the shower enveloped the bathroom, blurring the edges of the mirror and clinging to our skin like a second layer. Mai and I stood just inside the threshold, our breaths coming in short, eager gasps.
