Chapter 403: BOTH OF THEM WERE BEING RECKLESS

Cane asked for a kiss from her and a peck on the tip of her nose was nowhere close to a kiss... Iris felt a little bit disappointed.

Iris followed Cane to the door once they were done having their breakfast, engulfed in a comfortable silence.

Outside, Hanna had been waiting for Cane to leave, so she could accompany her missy all day. She knew the merchant would come and the Alpha wouldn’t allow her to go out, which Hanna thought was a good thing, because she didn’t like the merchant either and he was used to appearing out of nowhere in front of her missy, every so often.

Thus, it would be safe for her missy to stay inside.

"Be good, don’t go out," Cane said before he left her in the bedroom.

"Okay," Iris mumbled. She fiddled with her fingers and before Cane turned around and opened the door, she tiptoed and tried to kiss his lips.

Unfortunately, her height proved to be the problem, because even after tiptoeing, she still couldn’t reach his lips, which made her position look so awkward.

Blushing, Iris immediately backed away, while Cane stared at her with amusement dancing in his eyes to see how his mate was trying to give him a kiss. She became bolder and bolder. Should he call this a good thing?

"Take care." Iris waved at him clumsily, while avoiding his gaze.

Instead of leaving, Cane took a step forward and leaned his body forward, so they were on the same eye level, yet he didn’t make the move. "Didn’t you want to kiss me earlier?"

Iris blushed even more, as she was caught red handed. Well, that was pretty obvious actually...

"You are the one who told me you wanted to kiss me," Iris retorted, but she glanced at his lips and this was enough for Cane to know she wanted it too.

This time, Cane pressed his lips gently against hers, which made her body stiffen, but he cradled her head and massaged her nape to make her relax, as Iris reciprocated his kiss clumsily. Her soft lips felt so right against his. He ran his tongue over her lips and coaxed her to open her mouth.

When Iris didn’t get the cue, Cane squeezed her bottom, which made her gasp and he plunged his tongue deep into her mouth. He could taste the sweetness when he sucked her little tongue.

At this moment, their bodies were pressed against one another’s, as they could feel the beating of each other’s hearts. They were breathing heavily and Cane’s eyes dimmed slightly, as he lifted Iris’ body and slammed her against the wall.

"Ah!" Iris screeched because her head hit the sturdy wall and this made Cane realize what he had done. He abruptly took a step back, which made Iris lose her balance.

However, before she could fall to the floor, Cane held her by her elbows to steady her again. His eyes darkened when he checked on her.

"Are you okay?" He asked stiffly. His whole body was strung up, knowing he almost lost it for a moment there.

"I- I am fine..." Iris felt a little bit dizzy, not because of the collision with the wall, but because of the kiss earlier, though her back and the back of her head hurt a little bit as well.

Cane rubbed the back of her head to alleviate the pain.

Only when Iris was slightly better, did he put some distance between them again. "I need to leave, stay inside." And this time, he didn’t wait for her response before he left.

For a moment, Iris only stood there, staring at the closed door. She forgot about this. Cane could be very rough and harsh during sex. Amee had told her how the slavery had messed up with him. Not only had her father caused his infertility, he also made it hard for him to get his release, unless it was through violence.

Only because Cane didn’t do anything all this time, despite them sleeping in the same bed and cuddling every night, it didn’t mean that part of him was gone. Cane managed to hold himself back around her. But, once he was aroused, he must get the deed done and Iris knew it would be a painful experience for her. Even when she was in heat, it was still so painful to do it with him...

Iris lowered her head. Is it possible to take that step? Would she be able to handle it, knowing it would be painful? She didn’t want to be in pain...

Right at that time, Hanna entered the room, she looked cheerful, but her smile immediately faded away when she caught Iris’ gloomy expression.

"What happened, miss?" she asked, approaching Iris, whose face was still so red. "Are you sick?" Hanna frowned and put her hand over her forehead.

"I am fine," Iris said lightly, as she pushed away her hand.

"Ah!" Hanna’s eyes filled with amusement. "Did the Alpha just kiss you? That’s why you are still blushing now?" She teased her and Iris simply turned around and looked for her lizard.

She hoped what happened earlier wouldn’t make everything they had worked for between them thus far suffer a setback....

============================

When Cane arrived at the site, where they would work on the tunnel that connected the Riverside pack and the Crystal Moon pack, Lou and Alpha Dristan were having a conversation.

Both of them turned their bodies around to greet Cane.

"Good morning, Alpha Cane," Dristan greeted him politely, smiling, as if it was a great pleasure for him to see Cane.

"You are late," Lou grumbled, though he was also smiling, but Cane dismissed him.

The merchant looked a little bit messy because he just arrived at this pack an hour ago while he didn’t get enough sleep last night. His red cloak fluttered against the wind.

"Have you told him about our plan?" Cane asked Alpha Dristan. He didn’t even spare Lou a glance.

"Yes, he had told me about your plan." It was Lou who answered Cane’s question, drawing his attention toward himself. "I don’t agree to cooperate."
