Chapter 538 - 538: Naughty Wolf
Later that day, Xavier stepped out of the washroom after washing the grime and sweat off his skin. The comms panel on the wall chimed twice, and he slapped the receiver button with a wet hand.
"She is awake," the onboard doctor reported through the speaker. "Her vitals are completely stable."
Xavier turned the water off and pulled on a fresh pair of black trousers and a plain shirt from the cabinet. He walked straight out of the quarters and headed down the corridor toward the medical sector.
He pushed through the doors of the secure recovery ward and saw Lyra sitting on the edge of the elevated bed. The diagnostic cables were completely unhooked and tossed onto a nearby tray. Her silver hair framed her face as she held her hands up and stared at her palms. The traits from the mutation had retreated beneath her skin
She looked up when he walked into the room.
"You look entirely normal again," Xavier said.
"You look entirely normal again," Xavier said as he walked closer to the medical bed.
Lyra let out a breath and dropped her hands to her lap while shaking her head. "I feel completely different. My entire body is burning up from the inside, and I can hear the ship's engines running three decks down. What exactly did you do to me?"
Xavier stopped right in front of her and crossed his arms. "Your genetic structure was unraveling because the old experiment was killing you. I had to break your stasis tank and force a mutation using a Demonic Core, and I used my Golden Authority to fuse it directly into your biology."
Lyra processed the information for a moment before her eyes widened slightly. "So I am a demon now?"
"Your Lykaios biology stabilized the new traits," Xavier explained. "You are an evolved version of yourself."
Lyra leaned forward and rested her head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders to hold her close. She let out a contented sigh and relaxed completely against him, her skin feeling feverish through the fabric of his shirt.
"I really thought I was going to die in that tank," she murmured into his chest. "I could feel my organs shutting down one by one."
"I told you I would fix it," Xavier said while stroking her silver hair. "You belong to me, and I wouldn't let a failed lab experiment take you away."
Lyra tilted her head back to look at him with a faint smile touching her lips. She shifted closer to the edge of the bed and spread her legs, pulling him by the waist so he stood flush against her thighs.
Her hands slid down his stomach and rested casually on his belt, her fingers brushing against the fabric of his trousers as she sought more of his body heat.
"You really saved me," she said, her thumb tracing the line of his hip without really thinking about it.
"I always will," Xavier replied as he felt her hand move.
Her fingers slipped slightly lower as she leaned closer into him, and her eyes widened when she realized what she was touching. A heavy blush crept onto her cheeks as she looked down at his lap, but she made no effort to move her hand away.
"You are not wearing any underwear," Lyra pointed out.
"I was in a rush to get down here," Xavier said as he felt himself getting hard from the casual friction of her touch.
Lyra kept her hand exactly where it was, and she trailed her palm directly over his crotch. "I have all this extra energy coursing through my veins right now, and I need to burn it off somehow."
"You just woke up from a coma."
"My new biology is telling me to mate," Lyra said with a completely straight face as she unbuckled his belt and popped the button of his trousers. "And I definitely cannot go back to sleep anyway."
Xavier let out a quiet breath as he looked down at her determined expression, and he reached out to gently cup her cheek while her fingers worked his zipper down completely.
"You do not have to rush into this just because your body feels overloaded with energy right now," he whispered while running his thumb across her cheekbone.
Lyra leaned into his touch and closed her eyes for a brief moment before looking up at him again. "I want to do this," she replied as she pushed his trousers down his hips and freed his cock.
"Even back on Earth, I wanted to mate with you, but I didn't have the courage to ask you. I felt entirely helpless, but now…I just want to feel you close to me right now."
Xavier looked down at her flushed face as he hooked his fingers under the collar of her medical gown. He pulled the plain fabric down her shoulders and let it pool around her waist before tossing it entirely aside so she sat completely naked on the edge of the elevated bed.
Her pale skin felt incredibly warm under his touch while his hands traced the new contours of her body, taking in the flawless perfection of her healed form. He leaned in and pressed his mouth against hers for their very first kiss, letting his lips move against hers with deep affection.
Lyra gasped into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him deeper into the embrace. Her tongue slipped past his lips to taste him for the first time, and a surge of unnatural heat radiated from her core as they explored each other's mouths.
"You belong to me now," Xavier murmured against her lips as he trailed his hands down her sides and gripped her waist. "A little wolf completely bound to my will."
Lyra let out a breathless laugh and tilted her head back to expose her neck to him, playing right into the dynamic. "I am your obedient pet," she whispered while looking up at him with half-lidded eyes. "Command me to do whatever you want, Master."
