448: OH, DO I HURT YOU?

OH, DO I HURT YOU?

Iris refused to look at Cane. She pressed her face against his chest, while Cane patted her shoulders and then simply ripped off her dress, so he could get rid of it, before he ran the water, after he managed to get her out of her dress. 

Meanwhile, Iris still refused to look at him, though she was cooperative enough to let Cane get her of her dress. The water felt warm when Cane put more flame stone into the water. 

Iris lifted her head and moved her body out of instinct when Cane brushed away her hair. She didn't want him to look at her back. 

"It's okay." Cane leaned over and kissed the tip of her nose, as he pulled her head to rest against his chest again. 

Iris obliged and let Cane to put soap on her back. "Is it there?" she asked.

She knew what Cane was looking for and because she already knew about it, there was no need for him to deny it. "No. Your scars covered your back."

"It's ugly, right? It's disgusting." Iris didn't hear what Cane said, she only spoke what was in her mind out of her insecurity. She didn't want him to stare at her ugly back, whether the tattoo was there or not. 

Cane pushed her body, but kept her within his arm length, as he stared at her. "Do you find my phallus also disgusting?" What was the different between her back and his phallus, both part of their body covered with scars. "Or, do you find my face also disgusting?" There was visible scar on his face, a reminder of what horrible nightmare Gerald had given to him. 

Realizing what Cane meant with that, Iris looked mortified. "NO! No! I didn't mean it in that way." Iris raised her hands to cup his face, as she whimpered. "I am sorry. I didn't mean it in that way."

Cane took her hands and kissed her palms. "Don't say anything like that. You are mine and I take an offense when someone talk bad about what is mine, including you. Understood?"

Iris bit her lip and Cane pinched her chin, waiting for her reply. 

"Your answer, Iris."

"Okay," she said in small voice. 

Cane leaned over to kiss the tip of her nose. "Everything about you is beautiful, Iris. I will never ask for more, you are more than enough for me."

Iris smiled softly, she felt a little bit better after what Cane said. 

The alpha then sat her on his laps, in which, Iris could feel that thing nudged her bottom. "Mm… Cane…" She was not sure how to bring this up. 

"Hm?" Cane asked, as he took a soap and started to rub it on her shoulder. 

"Why don't you… mm, why didn't you… you know…" Iris bit her lip again. "You are still hard…" She blushed when the words left her lips and Cane only chuckled. 

"Thank you for pointing it out."

And after that, he didn't say anything and focus on his task to clean her up, he would brush his palm against her perky nipples innocently every now and then, while Iris was struggling to get her point across. 

"Cane, why didn't you… why didn't we…" Iris stared at Cane and realized he intentionally ignored her. "Cane!"

"What?" Cane tilted his head, as he rested his hand on top of her bare thigh under the warm water, but even so, Iris still could feel the heat from his skin. 

"Why didn't you…"

"…Fuck you?" Cane raised one of his brows, which made Iris stunned with his choice of word. "What? Did it ring a bell?"

"Cane… you know?"

Cane knew what she meant. "Yes, I know." He knew what Lu had been doing when he took over his body. That damned lycan! "If he tried to do anything like that again, you stab him with the dagger I gave you, understood?"

Iris pursed her lips. "Isn't that mean, I stab you?"

"Hm, even so, do it."

"No."

Cane stopped what he was doing and stared at Iris seriously. "This is not a request, Iris. I don't want refusal. If something like that happened again and you can't get away from him, stab him. I don't want him to touch you."

Iris crossed her arms stubbornly, which without her realizing it, her movement pushed her breasts up and this was a tempting sight for the alpha. "No. Actually, it's still you, who will touch me, right?"

"Iris, I am serious." Cane's voice was dark and demanding. "He will not touch you, even with my body. No question and I don't accept 'no' as an answer." 

Iris was slightly taken aback with how stern Cane was. He had never been so demanding like this. "Okay." She promised him, but there was no way she would stab him. 

Unfortunately, she didn't know what future would hold for them. 

"After all, I will never do that thing again to you," Iris added in small voice. Now, she knew for sure what would happen when she saw the shifter's spirit beast. She would never do that again to Cane. 

"Okay. There is nothing to be worried then." Cane didn't have any intention to give up his body to the damned lycan again, especially when he lusted over his mate. He then continued to take care of her hair now. 

"So, can you see the tattoo?" Iris asked, playing with bubble, as she stared at Cane. She liked it when he massaged her scalps. 

"No. If the tattoo is there, I think the scars covered it."

"Oh." Iris put the bubble on top of his head and Cane smiled at her childishness. "How can you take back your body from the lycan?"

"Because I am angry," Cane said. He still could feel his desire for her, but he didn't want to disrupt this serene moment. He had never done anything like this before and having a conversation, while bathing, hit different. Or, maybe it was because, who was the person he was having conversation with. 

"You are angry because he touched me?" 

"Hm." Cane massaged her scalps and she purred like a kitten, which made him smile and pecked her lips. 

"So, you do know what he was saying and what he was doing when he took over your body."

"Some of it yes."

"Why don't you take your body sooner?"

"Because I don't have the energy to do so." He felt so lethargic whenever he tried.

"Cane."

"Hm?"

"What is your plan with… her?" Iris put soap on his shoulder and started to run her hand on his skin, but Cane stopped her. He wanted this peacefulness to last a little bit longer. 

"I will use her to get to alpha Gallot," Cane replied lightly. He remembered what he told Sofia this morning. 

"How?" Iris asked again. 

"Deceiving an alpha for faking their firstborn is a crime, especially when it related to the royal blood," Cane said simply. 

"I think, some time you need to elaborate your plan to Ethan and Jace more, because the two of them looked so defeated and stressful, when they can't ask you for instruction." Jace had talked with Iris about this before, the beta literally asked this favor to Iris to bring up this topic with Cane and Iris thought, she really needed to mention about it. With Cane was gone, they were at lost and there were a lot of things at stake if they didn't make any decision as soon as possible. 

But, the problem was; they didn't have any idea, which direction or the whole picture of Cane's plan was. 

However, Iris didn't want to step her boundaries and start telling him what he needed to do, because she herself didn't know any better. 

"I will think about that," Cane said, he actually considered the suggestion. The alpha then attentively washed her hair. 

Both of them felt comfortable with each other for being naked like this, she didn't mind he touched her and so did he. 

"Cane."

"Hm?"

"Why didn't you make love with me earlier?" Finally, Iris could ask this question, though she was trying to hold back her embarrassment. 

"I will, Iris, but earlier, my intention was to please you."0

Iris bit her lip, she glanced down and she still could feel his hardness. How he could hold back for so long? Didn't it torture him? Amee said, he couldn't get it down once he was being hard. How he would take care of it?

Iris didn't even want to think Cane would ask someone else to help him with this problem, though she knew, the ridiculous thought, was only her jealousy that was talking. How long did he plan to be like this? Would he be like this during dinner with the king too? 

"Should I please you in turn now?"

Cane chuckled, he stopped what he was doing and stared at his mate with amusement in his eyes. "How do you plan to do so?"

Iris didn't know… but, she saw it once, she did this to him. Even though she didn't like to remember that certain event, but she thought, it could help. 

"Like this?" Iris moved a little bit from his laps and then wrapped her hand around his hardness, which made Cane gasped in surprised, he didn't expect her to do this. 

"Iris!" He gripped the edge of the bathup, while Iris moved her hand up and down, trying to figure out what she was going to do with it. Cane hissed dangerously. 

"Oh, do I hurt you?"
