Gideon quietly pulled his clothes off, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and showered.He wrapped a towel around his waist.
He closed the shades to prevent the sun from coming in the next morning.He wanted to stay wrapped around her as long as possible.
He raised the blanket and slid in next to her.He gently straddled her hips and then bent, kissing and licking everywhere he could reach.
“Mm,” she hummed.
He brushed her hair to the side and started sucking on her neck.He smiled when she started to wiggle and raise her hips.She’d always been so passionate, and he didn’t want that ever to stop.
“Gideon?”
“Yes, mate,” he said against her shoulder.“It’s me.”
He felt her start to move more as she slowly woke up.He knew the moment she realized he was really there.
“Gideon?”
Gideon growled.“It better be me, mate.”
“Stop saying that and get off of me.”
“I’ll never stop.You are my mate...”
“No, I’m not.It was a way for you to get me to marry you quickly.”
“That’s bullshit,” he said.“You are my mate.The one person the universe chose for me, and I’m not letting you go.”
“You might not have a choice.”
“Now, wait a damn minute...”
“No.I’ll stay long enough...”
He reached between their bodies, slid a finger down the crease of her ass, and pushed it into her cunt, making her breath catch.
Even though she was mad at him, she still wanted him.
“Fuck, mate.Do you feel that?”
She tried to shake her head, but could only scream when he shoved two fingers into her cunt.Lying on her stomach with her legs together had to make the pressure tighter.
“Oh, God, Gideon.Do something.”
He chuckled.“I am.”
“God, I hate you.”
He let his teeth elongate and pressed the tips into the spot where her neck met her shoulder.“You don’t.You’re mad, and I understand that.But you certainly don’t hate me.”
“How do you know?”
He gripped the hair on the back of her neck and lifted her head.“Because you’re my mate.I feel everything you do.At the party, I was a few doors down the hall, but I still felt your turmoil and rushed into the ballroom to find you had left.”
He gritted his teeth to hold back his anger.“You ran from me.”
“I just want a little time...”
“Bullshit.That’s the last thing you need.I’ll tell you everything, but after I tighten our bond and mark you as my own.”
