Axel let out a heavy sob and then sniffed. Then, he took a deep breath, bringing his hands up to wipe his eyes before clearing his throat and lifting his head to look at her.
“I thought I would lose you without even having a chance to say goodbye. Just like my father,” he said firmly. He pushed out the words and then clenched his jaw tight to hold back the emotions that crowded his heart.
Alice felt the tears that rolled onto her cheeks. She swallowed and sniffed.
For so long, she had known that her life would be given for the mission at any time. That her value was in accomplishing whatever task was assigned to her and not in her return home.
Holden may have wanted her to return. He may have even been grateful when she came back through the door each time. But not at the cost of the mission.
She had never thought about the value of life applying to herself.
Watching the tears fall from his eyes, hearing the pain in his voice. It broke her heart. She loved him, and she knew that he loved her. But still, she hadn’t expected this reaction.
Alice knew Axel would be upset with her. She knew he would be angry at her for doing things independently without explaining or asking for his help.
She just never realized it would be because he was scared of losing her.
But if she thought about it differently. If she considered how she would feel if Axel was the one in danger. Her heart pounded painfully in her chest, and there was a lead weight in her stomach.
No. That was something that could never happen.
Alice pushed away the fear of her imagined scenario. Instead, she reached out and held his face in her hands.
“I am so sorry, Axel,” she whispered. “I wasn’t thinking….”
She took in a shaky breath.
“I know,” he replied, lowering his eyes.
Alice lifted his chin, making him look up at her again.
“That doesn’t make it okay,” she smiled sadly.
Axel’s jaw shook, and his eyes were glossy from the tears he held back.
Alice let go of his face and stood up. He moved back against the couch to allow the room she needed to stand. She then straddled him. His hands naturally moved to her hips as he looked at her mournfully.
“I am truly sorry, Axel,” she said. “I have spent too much of my life not understanding what it means to care about someone or have someone care about me. I wasn’t trying to be cruel. I just honestly didn’t think about my death meaning anything to anyone.”
Axel closed his eyes. His hands at her hips wrapped around her waist and pulled her close. He laid his head on her chest.
“You mean something to me!” he cried angrily into her shirt. “You are not a doll, or some tool, or someone that can just be thrown away! You are Alice. My mate! My love!”
“I know,” she whispered, petting his hair softly as her tears fell.
“Don’t forget about me, Alice… please…” he whispered through soft cries.
“I know. And I won’t forget, never again.”
They held each other for a long time.
Continuing to talk about their feelings, honesty, and communication, Alice told Axel about the lab. About her time there and the memory that had demanded her return.
She told him about knowing that Holden would come for her, knowing that he would always find her.
Axel looked up at her with care. Holden was a monster, and she knew that better than anyone. But he was still her father. So he couldn’t help but wonder how she would take the news.
“Alice…” he said, reaching up and gently placing his hand on her cheek. “There is something I need to tell you.”
Alice leaned into his hand and smiled warmly.
“What is it?” she asked.
Axel took a deep breath.
“When I first got word that you woke up, Alexander and I were at the lab,” he said.
Alice sat up and looked at him.
“We were looking to see if there was anything salvageable,” he continued. “And while we were there, we found a room… a panic room. It was in the lab where the children were.”
“A panic room?” she asked. “I had no idea… is that where Holden escaped to?”
Axel nodded.
Alice sighed.
“I’m sure he knows every hidey-hole and exit of every building he walks into,” she said, shaking her head. “Always an escape route to guarantee his survival.”
“Not this time,” Axel whispered.
There was a jump in her heartbeat, a slight gasp, and the smallest widening of her eyes. If it were anyone but Axel that watched her, they would have missed it all.
“You mean…” she asked, without asking.
Axel nodded.
“He was trapped inside… and there was an explosion.”
Alice’s eyes narrowed, and her brows furrowed.
“An explosion? Inside the room?” she asked.
Axel nodded.
He saw the wheels turning in her mind. She had the same thought he did. Holden was not someone that would kill himself or be careless enough for an accident in a room he was trapped inside of.
Axel reached his other hand up and held her face, pulling her attention back to him.
“Tomorrow,” he whispered.
“What?”
“Think about what it means or what really happened tomorrow,” Axel clarified. “Tonight is the full moon. We may not be able to run through the trees, but we can still celebrate each other and our bond.”
Alice smiled and leaned forward, kissing him gently. Axel had been on a rollercoaster of emotion over the past few days. But now, all he wanted was to be with her in every way.
The tears they had shed dried away, and the sorrow in their hearts became a desire.
Axel and Alice poured themselves into each other through kisses and soft touches. They peeled away the layers of clothing that came between them and shared their deep feelings of loneliness and longing through the connection of their bodies.
Axel was hesitant to be too aggressive in his advances, with Alice having just recovered, but Alice felt more alive than ever.
She felt stronger, hungrier.
As he tried to move against her in a gentle rhythm, Alice squeezed herself around him, pulling him deeper inside her as he grunted and groaned out the surprise and sudden pleasure.
Alice rolled her hips as she tugged at his hair. Axel could not hold back the urge to thrust up against her harder and faster.
“Yes!” Alice cried out, gripping tighter to his golden locks. “Yes, please… harder!”
Encouraged by her words, Axel held her tightly as he let go of his control and thrust into her with wild abandon.
Alice’s eyes shot open wide, and she cried out with each thrust as a jolt of pleasure shot through her body.
They both felt the climax approaching. Their need and desire flowed back and forth between them as the pleasure grew and grew within until they both screamed out with the overwhelming warmth and delight of their shared orgasm.
Alice clung to Axel, panting into his shoulder as her nails dug deeply into his back. She let out soft gasps as her walls continued to clench around his still, mostly firm cock.
Axel let out heavy breaths against her chest, giving soft kisses to each breast as he felt the gentle squeezing around him, already preparing him for another round.
His tongue slid along the line of flesh between her breasts, tasting the sweet saltiness of her sweat. The soft whimper that escaped Alice’s lips and the gentle way she was already beginning to rock her hips while he was still buried inside her filled him with primal urges.
“Axel…” Alice whispered.
Axel mumbled a question in response. His lips pressed to her skin, and the vibration sent tingles through Alice, making her close her eyes and lose focus for a moment.
“Mmm…” she sighed.
Axel smiled and nipped at her flesh.
Alice rocked her hips roughly, drawing a gasp and a soft growl from Axel. Alice smiled, reached her hand into his hair, and tugged gently so that he looked up at her.
The dark stormy hazel looked up at her with hunger, almost making her forget what she wanted to say. She almost lost herself in that desire that stared back at her.
“Axel,” she whispered.
“Yes?” he replied, keeping his eyes on her as he moved very gently inside her.
Alice bit the inside of her lip to help her focus.
“After everything you have learned about me…” she whispered, letting out a soft pant as a jolt of pleasure shot through her. “After everything I have done….”
Axel stretched his tongue out to flick the hard nipple of her breast. Alice gasped and tugged on his hair once more.
“After all that?” Axel asked, tracing his tongue around her nipple as he encouraged her to dare to focus on something other than what he could do to her.
She licked her lips.
