Each thrust of Eric's hips made Emelia slip further and further up the bed. She had nothing to hold onto, so she felt even more unstable.
A mouth nibbled at her neck, causing Emelia to arch her back and provide more access to that area.
She looked up, her pleasure-hazed eyes meeting Eric's own before he opened his mouth and bit into her shoulder.
It was not a gentle bite, and the pain made Emelia snap out of her daze for a second. But the cock hitting her insides and rubbing against her walls dragged her back into that daze.
"Ugh, I need… to go a… little… faster… I'm gonna… come…"
Eric grunted as he thrust faster, and his hold on Emelia felt possessive.
With one final thrust, Eric grabbed Emelia with everything he had and pulled out of her. Semen dropped from his penis all over Emelia's legs, and her twitching pussy was covered in white as well.
Her body protested as the pleasure was suddenly cut off, and she let out a whine in protest.
Eric heard that, and his hand reached out to rub Emelia's wet and wanting pussy before she came once more.
She felt exhausted but a little distracted at the same time.
"Tsk, it's a pity I had to pull out of you, but I don't wanna risk getting you pregnant so soon. I liked sex with you too much. Hey, how about we do this again soon?"
Eric asked, but Emelia already felt her eyes close.
Her brain also chose this time to remind her that she forgot to take the morning-after pill last night, but thankfully, her cycle had just ended, so there was no chance of conception… potentially.
'Thinking is… too hard. I will do that tomorrow. For now… I should go to sleep.'
Emelia closed her eyes and allowed the sleep to take control of her mind. Inside the darkness of her mind, no one could irritate her or make her do things she did not want to.
The warmth of an alpha around her and the weight of his body worked wonders to lure Emelia into a deep sleep.
Eric looked down with an almost dumbfounded expression as he watched Emelia sleeping in front of him like a baby.
"Hey, did you seriously fall asleep? What about clean-up? Hey… ugh, this is why I hate inexperienced virgins. They get tired so easily, and they don't even allow me to go a second round."
Eric complained, but despite his words, his face had a calm look on it.
After a long time, he felt this fulfilled, and his body also felt calmer. The urge to sleep around and mate was no longer bothering him.
"Hey, isn't this the first time I've felt this calm after coming? Usually, coming just makes me feel worse, especially when I don't know."
Eric's curse kept him horny at night, and that was why he needed constant companionship—to get it out of his system.
But nothing had worked so far for him. The most he could do was get it out of his system for a while, and then it came back with a vengeance. And even when he felt calmer, it usually hurt.
"How weird. This feels so nice. Does peace feel like this? I want to keep it. It's so addicting. I wonder if it would feel even better if I devour for a little longer. Ah, I still don't know why this is happening."
Eric questioned as he looked at his hands. They felt much more stable.
He reached out his hand to almost grab Emelia's face before his hands changed track and patted her head instead.
Once he had his fill, Eric grabbed a few strands of Emelia's hair and brought them up to his lips to press a kiss.
"I wonder if I am feeling like this because you are the warden or because I developed feelings for you in the past two days. Well, whatever the case is, I don't care. I just know that you are the solution to my problem."
Emelia was asleep, so she could not react or tell the alpha what she felt. But Eric had a feeling that it wouldn't be anything pleasant to hear either.
He did not think of much when he went to sleep. His plans would have to wait for now because he needed to figure out some things on his own.
But one thing that he did know was the fact that Emelia was special. Now, if she was the only one special or if there were other Heinsbergs who were special, that needed to be looked into.
"Isn't the oldest Heinsberg heiress an omega? Should I try and check with her if I feel the same way? Surely, an omega would be better than a beta."
Eric questioned, but his heart did not feel the same way. For some reason, just thinking about another omega in this situation felt wrong to him, and Eric could not figure out why.
He had been with countless omegas before, so what had changed now?
Maybe it was the way Emelia had looked at him through half-lidded eyes, defiant yet inviting.
Or maybe it was the way she let herself be vulnerable, surrendering despite every instinct telling her not to.
Whatever it was, Eric couldn't shake the feeling in his chest. It was unfamiliar, like a warmth that refused to fade, lingering long after the climax.
He watched her breathing softly, her body curled slightly toward his as if unconsciously seeking him out. That small movement shouldn't have meant anything, but it made something tighten inside him.
"No other woman's done this to me."
He whispered to himself.
It wasn't just the sex. It wasn't just the temporary calm. Something about her was different. Dangerous, even.
He let out a shaky breath as he lay down beside her and wrapped an arm loosely around her waist. She stirred slightly but didn't wake.
Maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe it was just the bond reacting to something in her blood. But Eric had a gut feeling it was more than that.
"I'll figure it out. And when I do… I'm not letting you go.
He murmured, eyes drifting shut.
With that thought, sleep finally claimed him too.

Emelia woke up early, and her body protested when she tried to move. Not only did her muscles hurt, but she also felt suffocated.
She rubbed her face against the thing that was holding her hostage, and she immediately opened her eyes when she felt a firm chest in front of her.
Emelia held in her gasp as she opened her eyes and noticed that Eric was in her bed. And not only that, but he was holding her close as well.
Feeling awkward, she finally found a way to slip out of his hold and take a deep breath.
"This will be the last time. It was a one-time help offer, and I won't need to do this again. No matter how much my body enjoyed it in the moment, it is not worth the pain the next morning."
Eric had been as big as Liam, and unlike Liam, he had not been gentle with her.
Not to say Emelia did not enjoy it. But she could not keep up with it.
