Page 67 of Unbreakable Bond
Everything he’d gone through, it had been to get him here. To her. Maybe if he’d stayed all those years ago he would have known she was his long before now, but he wasn’t sure he would have been ready for her then. Just like she hadn’t been ready for him. Fate had a plan and this was their part of it. Mates, together,finally.
“Let me love you,Zo.”
She was the one that pressed their mouths together and he groaned when she tried to take control. She could be a bossy little thing and he loved that about her. But this, this would always be where his alpha nature refused to give up control. He wrapped a hand in her hair and tugged gently, but enough to sting, causing her to gasp and give him the upperhand.
His tongue was in her mouth a second later and Zoey whimpered and arched against him. Her taste spread through him and his wolf growled, wanting more of their mate. Rafe consciously pushed the animal down, wanting Zoey for himself as he carried her towards their bedroom. This was aboutthem.
Once he’d kicked the door to the bedroom shut behind them he slowly lowered Zoey to the ground, “Clothes off. Gonna burn this shit and kill my brother if he ever loans you another item ofclothing.”
Zoey giggled softly and made quick work of tugging off the oversized shirt she’d been wearing, “It was this or go naked at the lodge. I assumed you’re prefer the rest of the pack not see me undressed but I guess I can refuse the clothes nexttime.”
A growl worked its way up his throat making her laugh again as he snatched the clothes from her and tossed them aside, “Nobody sees you like this butme.”
“Possessive bastard.” Sheteased.
“My mate.” He dropped his pants and kicked them off, “Mine. Kill anybody that so much as looks atyou.”
“You’re so sexy when you’re acting like a homicidal maniac.” Zoey giggled again as she stepped forward and stroked a hand down his chest, “You’re mine too, Rafe. Rememberthat.”
“Yours.” He groaned as her fingers danced across his hip, “I’m all yours,baby.”
“This too.” Her voice dropped low as she wrapped her small hand around his rock-hard length and his hips automatically kicked forward. “This ismine.”
“Fuck,yes.”
“Just in case I’m not knocked up yet, why don’t you come here and put a pup in me.” She tugged gently, all but leading him by his dick towards the bed and like a dog desperate for her attention he followed. “I want what’s mine,mate.”
Rafe was on her instantly. He tossed her onto the bed and followed her down, pinning her beneath him. Mate. God, was there a better word in the English language? He loved it. Loved that he was hers. Loved it when she called him hers. Hermate.
He nudged her thighs open and notched himself between them as he took her mouth again. She was all movement beneath him. Arching and rolling her hips, her nails scoring his back as she urged him closer. She was needy, for him, and he loved it. Wanted nothing more than to sate her, to give her what she needed from him, but before he did, he had one more thing he knew they needed to talkabout.
He broke the kiss and trailed his lips across her jaw, towards her ear, “Zo, baby, I want you to marryme.”
She gasped and he leaned back to look her in the eyes. She was breathing hard and her bottom lip was pinned between her teeth again. Her beautiful eyes searched his face and whatever she found there made her soften, made her hold him tight even as her body stilled beneathhim.
“Are you asking?” She finally spoke softly, her throat bobbing as she swallowedhard.
“Yes.” He forced out even though they both knew he wanted to make it an order, “Will you marry me, Zoey? You’re my mate. You’re my heart. I love you more with every breath I take and I can’t imagine my life without you. I don’t want to. We’re already mated, we sealed the bond but I want the ceremony too. I want to tie you to me in every way I can and I want itnow.”
“Now?” Her lips teased into asmile.
He chuckled at her sense of humor and rocked his hips against her, “Well, not now-now but, before you birth our pups now, for sure.” He nuzzled her lips, “I know it’s fast but that’s how we wolves do things. Fast and completely, we don’t do anything in half measure and you’re mine. I just want to make itofficial.”
“Okay.”
His eyebrows shot up again, “Okay? Okay you’ll marry meor…”
“Yes.” She giggled and cupped his jaw, “Yes, I’ll marry you Rafe. I want you tied to me in every way too. My mate. My husband. Myeverything.”
His eyes burned and he squeezed them shut tight, trying to keep back tears. Everything. She was his everything and she was going to give him everything he’d ever wanted. A home and a family. He had the perfect little mate and she was his, allhis.
When he opened his eyes she was stroking his hair gently, caressing and soothing him in the way that only she could and his voice broke, “I loveyou.”
“I love you too.” She leaned up and nipped at his lips. “I love you,Rafe.”
He kissed her again, hard and possessive, and she wrapped herself around him. Right where she belonged. With him. Against him. He rocked his hips and groaned. Surrounding him. His wolf hummed from deep inside his chest. He was happy and content too for the first time in so long. They were in agreement. Zoey was theirs and they were going to do right by her. They were going to make her happy. Give her world. Because they were herstoo.
He slid a hand between them and Zoey gasped and arched, crying out his name, “Rafe!”
