Page 133 of Rejecting his Mate

My heart squeezes. “I love you too.” I snuggle against his chest, my arms wrapping around his waist. “I want to save my mom and those girls.”

“And we will, but not tonight.”

No, not tonight, but we’re coming for the Order, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life destroying it piece by piece.

Chapter 32

Cade

A WEEK LATER…

Gripping her hips, I slide my cock in and out of her. Halle’s breasts bounce with each thrust, and she has never looked more beautiful. She is everything to me.

“Cade.” She gasps my name, and my cock feels impossibly harder.

I love her little moans of pleasure and the way she grips the sheets of the bed as if she is hanging on for her life.

Her pussy, or what I can see of it, is swollen from my tongue working her over before I entered her. I reach out with one hand, applying pressure to her clit and enjoying the instant reaction that gets. Her thighs try to clamp together even as they shake, but my body between them keeps them parted.

Her red hair is spread over the mattress as I poundinto her over and over. Lifting one of her legs so I can push deeper inside her makes her moan. “I’m close.”

I can tell by the way her pussy is clamping around my cock. She hasn't had her first heat cycle yet, but I cannot wait until my cock swells inside her, knotting us together. It can take months, sometimes even a year after a mating bond clicks into place, for heat to begin. Considering all the shit happening, it is probably a good thing. This is not the moment for pups, but a part of me wants to see her stomach grow with our young.

As this thought enters my head, I stroke a hand over her flat stomach, imagining what she will look like. I want to fuck my seed deep inside her, mark my territory. The claiming mark on her neck is visible and prominent, but I need more. I want to own her as completely as she owns me.

“You’re mine,” I tell her something she already knows.

“In every way,” she agrees.

“I love how you take my cock,” I say as I bottom out inside her. “You look so perfect like this.”

“Fuck me harder.” I don’t miss the begging note to her voice, and I’m happy to oblige.

I slam into her, setting a ruthless pace as I fuck her into the mattress.

Our eyes remain locked on each other’s as I circle my hips with each thrust. My wolf growls, a contented sound that reverberates through my brain as we both barrel toward our climax.

Halle's hits first, her pussy clamping so tight aroundmy cock that I groan, and it's enough to make me spill my load inside her.

She milks me until nothing is left, and only then do I pull out of her. My fingers spread her folds, watching my cum leaking out, knowing I marked her so completely.

Using my thumb, I push it back inside her, even though I know the chances of her getting pregnant like this are slim to zero. The heat cycle is a wolf’s most fertile time, and that’s why knotting only occurs then, ensuring a successful pregnancy.

Halle watches me, her eyes heated and sated. “I like you when you’re like this.”

“Like what?”

“Possessive.”

If she thinks this is possessive, she has seen nothing yet. Every time she is away from me, I want to put her over my shoulder and drag her back. It is hard to keep my mate in perspective. My wolf and I are both very aware that she could have died the night of the attack. Neither of us would survive without her, so I will do everything in my power to ensure her safety.

Halle must sense my turmoil through the bond because she comes up on her elbows before sitting fully and taking my hand. “I’m right here,” she assures me.

“Things are going to get bad,” I say. “It is difficult for me to ignore that. All I want to do is bundle you up and get you the fuck out of here.”

“I know, I’m scared too. As much as I hate to admit it, though, Hester was right. We are stronger together. The bond between the five of us is something else.”

I bring her hand to my mouth, pressing kisses acrossher knuckles. I constantly itch to touch her. She has spent much of her time learning how to hone her magic, and I feel better knowing she will be stronger the next time there is an attack. I know another is bound to come.
