“You know, my sweet girl, pretending like last night didn’t happen doesn’t make it any less real.”
Her shoulders tensed but she didn’t respond, which only had me grinning even more.
I could smell the fact that her pussy was wet right now, her need for me stronger than anything else, even her need to keep her independence and distance from our mating.
“I’m not pretending anything.”
We didn’t speak for several more moments before she finally stopped and turned to face me, her hands on her tucked-in waist.
“Really?” I crossed my arms over my chest and cocked an eyebrow. For the first time in my life, and ever since finding my mate, I felt amusement. Living life being stoic and void of any kind of emotion was my default. This was… this was different but good.
She was just so tiny compared to me, yet she had this fiery disposition that turned me on so fucking much it was almost infuriating.
“So you’re not trying to pretend that I didn’t have my hand shoved between your thighs as I stroked your pussy until you came for me?”
Her mouth dropped open before she snapped it shut, and the fact that her cheeks instantly turned even redder had my cock jerking and thickening even more.
Ada’s embarrassment was an aphrodisiac, and I found myself taking a step closer. But when she lifted a hand, palm toward me, I stopped.
“I can’t do this with you. Not right now.”
I ground my molars. “Do what exactly?”
She was silent for a moment, and I lowered my head but kept my focus on her.
“You’re mine and I’m yours. And I’ll keep reminding you of that fact until you understand, Ada. There’s no way around that. Fate gave us each other, and if you think you can escape destiny, if you think I will even let you deny being mine, you’ll find out soon enough, sweetheart, that I always get what I want.”
Her little nose twitched, and I could hear her clenching her jaw tightly, her teeth scraping together. “I’m not denying anything, Sebastian.”
Holy shit, it sounded good hearing my name fall from her lips… especially when she was coming.
She rubbed her forehead, and as much as I wanted to go to her, to comfort her, I held still. I could already tell I was going to be an overbearing bastard when it came to my mate.
“I’m not denying or fighting anything,” she whispered and dropped her hand to grip the side of her pant leg, her gaze never wavering from mine. “I guess I just want to focus on one life-changing event at a time.” She held her arms out as if gesturing to the dark forest all around us. “And getting out of this hellhole is my main priority, even if every single part of me is saying accepting that I now have a mate and”—she glanced away before saying—“completing the mating should come first.”
A deep rumble of pleasure left me at hearing her say that, and knowing that she was fighting this for self-preservation and not because she saw me as an incompatible mate fate had given her.
“Ah, my female, you please me to no end.” The only thing that mattered anymore in my life was her. And the longer I went without claiming her, without piercing her neck and giving her my mark, the more unbearable I’d be.
The more angry and desperate I’d become.
The more possessive and obsessed I’d become where she was concerned.
Hell, I’d break a fucker’s neck just for looking at her, and I hadn’t even claimed my female yet.
“So you admit you want me,” I said smugly and grinned, then chuckled when she rolled her eyes.
I felt a warmth spread throughout the center of my chest as her perfect, pink bow-like lips curved up slightly.
“I’m not gonna stroke your ego even more by admitting anything.” She cast me a sly glance. “You know I want you.”
That one phrase was whispered so low I almost didn’t hear it, but I found myself right in front of her a second later, my hand loosely wrapped around her throat as I crowded around her small body. I added a little pressure, seeing her pupils dilate and getting harder at the fact that my tiny female was into the darker desires I so desperately wanted to give her.
The longer I stared into her green eyes, the more I felt myself get lost. “So perfect,” I whispered and slid my hand up the column of her neck so I could smooth my thumb along her bottom lip.
She parted her mouth as she took in a sharp breath.
“So perfect I can’t believe you’re real…” I leaned in, inhaling deeply and making a pleasurable sound deep within my chest. “Or that you’re mine.” I was just about to kiss her, to press her to the ground and bury my face in her sweet pussy when a faint chittering sound that was far too close for comfort echoed all around us.
