Page 21 of Healed By My Mate


Font Size:

I watch my mate as she eats, trying to calm myself, but it’s no use.All I can think about is being with Quinn.

I want to strip her naked, spread her over the bed, and lick every inch of her.

I want to hear her scream my name.

I want to make her come.

I want her as addicted to me as I am to her.

“Are you eating?”she asks.

“Yep,” I say abruptly, but make no move to sit at the table with her.

She stares at me for a beat.I grind my teeth.

“Are you okay?”

I nod stiffly.“I can feel the mating heat.”

“Yeah, me too,” she says softly.

Claim her!my wolf screams.

“It’s, uh, affecting me more than I expected,” I admit.

“Do you want to leave?”

“No!”I shout at the same time as my wolf.“No, I’m okay.I’ll be okay.”

Quinn licks her lips as she finishes eating, then turns her gaze on me.She seems so at ease, so unaffected by the mating heat, and I wonder what it’s like for a human.

“I’m going to take a shower,” she says.

She stands, and the movement carries her scent my way.That’s when I smell it.

Her arousal.

She wants us,my wolf barks.Claim her.

She might look unbothered, but now I know she’s feeling it too.Maybe as strongly as I am.

Quinn disappears into the bathroom before I can say anything, and I collapse onto a chair at the table.

The water turns on a minute later.I shove a French fry into my mouth as I work to regain control of my body.

My wolf paces inside me like a caged beast.I briefly debate leaving to let him out for a run.

We’re not leaving our mate,he growls.

I sigh.Yeah, I know.Tonight is going to suck.

Tonight is going to be the best night of our lives.

I shake my head.She’s not ready.

She wants us!You smelled her.Listen.

I pause, my ears straining.Then I let out a moan.
