The Lycan King novel Chapter 3

Nikolai

'Arrange for a dress by tomorrow morning and have the room service send in some food.' I mind linked Vladimir.-

'Yes, Alpha.' He replied.

I removed my shoes and entered the bathroom and saw Ava standing straight, her hands at her sides and her head bowed down. She stiffened further when she heard me come in.

She is scared of me. And the only way to get rid of your fears is to face them.

I took her hand in mine and walked her to the shower area and turned on the shower on the warmer side—enough that it wouldn't burn her fragile skin but would warm her up quickly.

"Undress me." I told her softly. I wanted her to feel comfortable with me. Deep down, I know she is my mate. How? I don't know. But she just is.

Her hands trembled as she slowly undid my jacket buttons before pushing it off my shoulders. I helped her take it off my arms and threw it aside.

She took a shaky breath as she stepped forward and undid my tie, throwing it over my jacket.

Next, she started undoing the buttons of my shirt. Her hands fumbled as she did. She was deathly scared of what she thought was about to happen.

"Rule number one." I spoke as I stood still while she undid my buttons. "Know that I will have your best interest at heart. You have to trust me or else this won't work."

She pressed her lips together and a frown marred her forehead as she nodded and continued concentrating on undoing the buttons.

"I need your words Ava." I told her as she undid the last button.

"Yes, Master." She said softly. My dick jolted at her calling me that. But sadly, that will have to go.

She hesitated before she reached the belt buckle, undid it and pulled the belt out of the loops.

"Rule number two. You will call me by my name. Nikolai." I told her.

Her breath hitched and her lips parted in surprise. "Yes Nikolai." She said so softly that I hardly heard it, even with the enhanced hearing.

Slowly, she undid the button of my pants and pushed it down. I stepped out of them and kicked it aside. The last remaining clothing I had on was my boxer.

Her lower lip trembled as she hooked her thumbs in the elastic of the boxer by my waist.

"What was Rule number one?" I asked her.

"To know that you have my best interest at heart. And that I should trust you." She whispered.

"Good girl." I praised, causing blush to rise on her cheeks. "Go on."

Slowly, with unsure hands she pulled down my boxer. I stepped out of it and kicked it aside too.

She immediately stepped back, looking terrified of my cock. This is the first time in my entire life this has happened and I have to agree that I didn't like it.

"I'm going to bathe you. I want to remove the touch of every person who has touched you. You are only allowed to know and remember my touch." I told her so she knew what to expect. "After which, I want you to bathe me. I want you to know that I'm not going to hurt you. I want you to feel for yourself that you are safe with me. I want you to feel the strength beneath the skin and know that it will be used to protect you. Because that's what I do. I protect what time mine." This will decrease her fear.
