MAXIM'S POV
Falling into temptation which was in the form of Amaya was another mistake I had made. Why had I been so weak? Why couldn't I have stayed strong? Why didn't I hold myself back from giving into her?
I blamed my heated desire and what happened during the ritual. Bathing her with my blood did a number on me. There was something about the way my blood cascaded her skin, filling her pores with my scent. When I started to smell myself on her, my body reacted with a strong need. It made my head spark and get filled with how good she looked in the pond, surrounded by my blood, in my essence.
My wolf almost lost control for the first time. He was welcoming his mate and that worsened when I saw her walk into the kitchen. The room filled with my scent oozing off her, my mouth watered, and my body heated up from it. I was going mad and when I stood close to her, there was a strong heat radiating off her that my body reacted to.
