Page 45 of Unbreakable Bond
Chapter 18
Rafe raiseda hand to his brother before turning his full attention on his little mate. He was growling. He could feel it in his chest but he couldn’t seem to stop. Not even as he watched Zoey walk away from Michael and towards him. Coming back to him, which filled him with relief but still didn’t wipe out hisirritation.
He'd been forced to let his mate go off with his brother. With his brother who loved her. And she loved him too. He could feel the warmth between them through the bond he had with them both. He could feel it like a thorn in his side that he knew would never go away, not fully. Because even though Zoey had made it clear she chose him, wanted him, the feelings she and Michael shared would never goaway.
They were best friends. Family now. He’d heard her say that and it had made him want to smile and cringe at the sametime.
It was one of the only things he’d heard because he’d had to put up with that asshole Enforcer glaring at him and making snide comments the whole time Zoey was talking to Michael. In fact, the bastard had talked so much that Rafe had barely been able to catch any of his brother and his mate’s conversation. He’d known Darius since they were all kids but they’d never been friends. Darius was usually a man of very few words and Rafe didn’t doubt for a second that the bastard had only bothered talking to him to keep Rafe fromeavesdropping.
He was a good Enforcer. He had Michael’s back. Rafe could respect that. He still flipped him off as he climbed into thetruck.
“Stop scowling at your brother.” Zoey grinned as she bounded up the steps and straight into hisarms.
He let out a rough breath and caught her. He pulled her in tight but the growl in his chest worked up his throat. She smelled all wrong. Like Michael. He scowled, hatingit.
“Rafe.” She giggled when he nuzzled his face into her throat. “Thattickles.”
“You smell like him.” He growled in response and continued to rub himself againsther.
“We onlyhugged.”
“You should only ever smell likeme.”
Zoey giggled again, as if it were funny, but it wasn’t funny. He was serious. Completely serious. He nuzzled her neck and stroked his hands over her body. He rubbed her against him, needing to remark her with his scent in every way. His wolf rubbed up against his skin and he groaned when he felt Zoey’s pulse stutter and then race. He could feel her wolf respond too, lunge for the surface and she moanedtoo.
Done. He was done for. He hitched her up easily. Tiny little mate. Fit him so well. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he slipped his hands to her ass. He rubbed her against his already hardening cock, ignoring the engine that fired up in the drive as Darius and Michael left them alone. Zoeymoaned.
“Wolves are sensitive to touch and smell.” He gave into the urge to lick the pulse hammering in her neck, “No more hugging other men. You’remine.”
Her arms tightened around his neck as she arched against him “Mmm, are you going to do this every time I come home with another male scent onme?”
He growled and she giggledagain.
“Because if so, it’s not really a threat.” Her voice was breathy and she pulled on his hair, “Oh, God, Rafe, please… I want you.Please.”
He grinned and nipped at her ear. His mate was perfect. Absolutely perfect. Beautiful and sassy too. Funny. Sweet. And his, allhis.
“Needyou.”
It was the day of a full moon. It heightened both of their emotions. Good and bad. He knew that. But he didn’t think it was just the moon making them want each other likethis.
Everything between them was so new. Her wolf was newborn. The bond and the heat and everything that went along with being mated, with being a wolf, it was all so new. But it was strong, so damnstrong.
He’d never been mated before so he couldn’t know for sure but he thought it was more than just the bond, just their wolves. He couldn’t get enough of her. Couldn’t imagine he everwould.
He thought he was falling for her. Him. The man. It had nothing to do with his wolf. He was falling for this woman that made him feel so much, so easily. Made him feel like he could have everything he’d everwanted.
Rafe turned and pushed her up against the side of the house. He took her mouth with his and she opened for him immediately. He would never get used to the kick of adrenaline when he tasted her sweetness. He wanted her on his tongue all the time, never wanted to taste anything that wasn’ther.
Zoey writhed against him, breaking the kiss to gasp for air, “Rafe,please…”
Since he could hear the truck with the others down the road he knew they were far enough away not to see, he ripped the jacket she’d put on off her shoulders and pushed her shirt up. Her perfect little tits spilled out and he lowered his head to take a perky pink nipple into his mouth. She gasped his name and he sucked on her,hard.
He curled his tongue over the hard nub, “So damnresponsive.”
Rafe moved to her other breast and gave it the same treatment. He loved the way she moaned and sighed when he touched her. Loved that she writhed and begged for more. He loved these sweet little nipples, all red and standing at attention for him, loved the way her arousal spread a flush down her neck turning her pale skinpink.
It was gorgeous. She was gorgeous. The only way she would be more gorgeous was if… Rafe sank his teeth into the smooth curve of herbreast.
