Fuck, I really want to see it, but I want to kiss him more.
Zack kept stroking at his mark, thoroughly enjoying the shiver that ran through my body each time, until I cupped the back of his head and brought his lips down onto mine. He moaned with pleasure as I slightly lowered myself under his body, our members brushing together as I moved my kisses to his jaw and had to bite back a growl at the sight of his bare neck.
Mine.
Zack’s breath halted when I ran my tongue along with the place where my mark was going to sit. I got ready to ask for his consent, but when I moved my lips away from his skin, he only forced himself back against my mouth again.Okay, Mr Delta, I know what you want.
My wolf’s instincts took over as my lips started to kiss his skin, my eyes glowing that bright, piercing blue at the moment I plunged my teeth into his muscle. The bond hit me like a fucking truck. The rich copper taste of his blood was like fine wine in my mouth. My eyes rolled back into my head at the moment our bond snapped completely into place. I could feel the power of just us against one another surge around us like a pleasant storm.
He practically collapsed onto my chest when I released him from my grip, forcing me to lean down so I could lick away the excess blood and look at my gorgeous mark on my even more gorgeous mate. It was still healing, but I could faintly see it taking on the form of two wolves embracing. A perfect representation of exactly how I felt about him, about us.
“I love you, Tay. I need you to know that. I know how fucking lucky I am to have you, after everything... I swear to you, I’m going to spend the rest of our lives proving to you that I was worth the fucking hassle.” I couldn’t help but laugh at his little confession. The truth was, he was already worth every minute of it.
Slowly, he gently drifted off into sleep, still lying against my body. I loved him, but he was practically crushing me, so I slowly moved him onto the bed next to me, gazing at my perfect man.
I felt perfectly content, perfectly happy. A small smile played on my lips as I stared at him before sleep overcame me, too…
For Someone We Love
Raven
The following day, I left the cottage early after showering and headed to training, feeling restless and nervous. My heart was breaking, and although I knew it was a decision I had decided on, it still hurt. I would talk to Damon, no matter what, right after. I couldn’t keep delaying it.
After training and once I had showered, I quickly grabbed an oversized hoodie that fell to my thighs and some over-the-knee boots. I left the packhouse, my hair still wet from the shower, and headed straight to Damon’s like a woman on a mission.
Not today. Not today. Nothing is going to stop me.
I rang the doorbell, letting out a breath I didn’t know I was even holding when I finally reached Damon’s home.
Damon? I’m outside,I said through the link softly. My heart cracked a little more.
This must be important, huh?His deep, sexy voice came.
Hmm,I replied, feeling awful and waiting for him to open up. He did a few moments later. He had a shirt on, but the buttons were undone, showing off his perfect body. My stomach fluttered, and the pain in my chest reminded me of our connection.
“Hey,” I said softly.
“Hey, gorgeous,” he greeted, pulling me into his arms. I closed my eyes, hugging him tightly. His beating heart was like a soothing melody compared to the thundering of mine…
The decision I had made… was there really no other way? I knew the answer to that…
“Hey… what’s wrong? Are you okay?” His soft voice brought me out of my reverie, my heart beating like a drum as I slowly moved back and nodded, forcing a smile. I was the selfish one, wanting them both… but I knew whom I was prioritising and what needed to be done was for the both of us.
“Yeah, kinda… can we talk?” I asked softly.
“Sure,” he said. “Shall we go for a walk?”
“Okay,” I agreed, thinking we could go towards the woods, somewhere alone…
Maybe being inside would just make it even more suffocating.
He stepped out and locked up behind himself, shoving the keys into his pocket. He gave me a small, sexy smile and began to button up his shirt, hiding those perfect abs from the world. We stayed silent, and he let me lead as we walked along. With every step I took, I felt as if my feet were dragging.Goddess… please… give me strength…
I slowed down when we were in a deserted area of the woods, the rustle of the leaves like a whisper of disapproval at what I was about to do. Walking down towards the river, I stopped and looked around. We were a good way away from the Alpha’s home. I sat down, motioning for him to sit opposite me. He sat, his soft blue eyes meeting mine, and my heart clenched painfully. Why did I feel like he knew this was bad news…?
“It’s okay, Raven. You can tell me whatever you need to. You know that,” he said softly, taking hold of my hands, those sparks of pleasure wrapping me in warmth, and kissing my knuckles softly. I closed my eyes before staring down at our hands. He was special, too….
“I haven’t been fair,” I said softly, my eyes stinging already. No matter how hard I tried to keep the tears at bay, I knew I wouldn’t be able to, not today. He frowned slightly, concern clear in his eyes, yet he waited for me to speak.
