Not Your Mate Anymore

chapter 13

We had finished our dinner in silence as we both tried to steal glances at one another. My heart was beating so fast, I was surprised he hadn't mentioned it, werewolf hearing and all.

I was down one bottle of champagne and he was playing it safe by drinking water. If anyone had to guess who the virgin was here... he let out a loud sigh and shook his head. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Max stood up and took his jacket off, placing it on his chair. He walks into his room and then I heard music. Why didn't I think of that!?

He walks out and looks at me. His eyes piercing through my soul and my heart beats even faster. He walked up to me with his hand out. I looked at his hand and then back at him with confusion. Well I know that he was asking me to dance but I was hoping he'd take the lead with this and lead me to his bed. I didn't trust myself with my knees all weak.

"Kimberly, dance with me.." he says to me and I place my hand in his giant one as I stand up. A slow song playing the background..

We danced in silence for a minute until he stopped dancing and he pulled away from me.

"This isn't right.." he says and walks away from me and back in his room. I hear Joe- No one else comes close play through his speakers but not too loudly. I smile because this was the song my dad used to play for my mother. I always used to tell him how my dad would play this song and tell us how this was the song that played on the stereo in the diner when my mom and dad met. This was the song that they both loved and I ended up loving it.

He walks out and grabs my hand gently and leads me to his balcony railing, looking into my eyes. He clears his throat...

"Sabrina Kimberly Trent, I know what you're doing. This has been eating at me all morning but I can't imagine how you must be feeling. You know how I feel about you or you at least have an idea. The deal was to wait until you were 18 and I was going to try win your heart but I guess I need to put my feelings on the table as I can't allow myself to do this without putting it all out there. We both deserve honesty and I will give it to you." He says to me.

"I think about you when I wake up and before sleep takes over at night. I want to think about you. I have myself imagining moments with you that we haven't experienced yet and they give me such hope. The moon didn't choose you for me but I choose you for myself. I want to love you every day." He says to me and I have to keep blinking so I don't cry ruining all that make up.

"I find myself sleeping in your room so I can feel closer to you. You are very special to me Kimberly, so so special.

I'm a very traditional man, being a Lycan and all. We are raised to expect certain things from women but you have me questioning my upbringing and passed down beliefs. I hate how time is forcing you to go down this road. I wanted to court you, the human way. Win your heart and mind. The plan was to take you out on a date but here you are, making me question my manhood and if I deserve a woman like you at all.." he says to me and I squeeze his hand. A tear slips from my eye as I look into his, seeing the sincerity in his eyes.

"I hate how we are forced into this. I hate that you have to do all of this, rushing as we are all afraid of the unknown. I can't imagine a life where another man touches you right now but I also hate how we are put in this predicament because of someone's greed. You are still so young but life has thrown the worst at you, yet here you are. Goddess knows I want you in every way, I dream of the ways I'll take your body and make it mine. I want the world to know that you're mine. If I had my way, you'd reek of me head to toe." He says and I giggle.

Male wolves.

"I want to make love to you and show you how much you drive me crazy. I want to love you so hard, you'll never question the love I have for you. I can't wait for you to show off the mark I will place on your neck for the world see and I want all of that so bad. You don't know what your touch does to me Kimberly.. but I need you to know that you don't have to do this right now. I'll always wait for you baby." He says to me, kissing my forehead. I pull away from his embrace and look into his eyes.

"Maximus. You're right, life has played some really cruel games but thanks to you and my family, I always come out on top. Finding out that there's a man out there that wants my virtue for his sick and twisted game put the pedal in my 'wait until you're really sure' virtue game but it also put a lot in perspective. I know I want to be with you, today or in 20years. I know that Percy was my mate but he's not anymore. I choose you Max, to be my love, my chosen mate. I didn't rush into going all the way because I didn't really think about it and I didn't feel like I needed to but you're right, finding out that someone could use my body to bring evil children into the world has rushed my decision making but for some time now, you have been the one for me." I say to him.

"I want you in every way. I crave your touch in the most intimate ways even though that's foreign to me. Your touch alone does so much to me and if tomorrow I was to be captured, I'll know that I spent my night in your arms. I know you'll search every inch of this earth until you find me or die trying and that alone has made it easy to give you my heart and my body. I want to be yours. I want to walk around with your mark on my neck. I want to have your scent on me for all the she wolves to sniff out. I want to share a connection with you that only the mating bond can provide. I want to carry your pups and have our family of wolves run in the woods. I want you to take me tonight and tomorrow night. I want you to walk around with my mark on your neck and if I'm ever captured, I want them to see your mark on my neck and know I'm yours. I am yours Maximus. Truly yours. Now, make it so. Take me now" I say to him.

I turn around and walk into his room. He follows right behind me. I stop right close to his bed and pull the zipper on th side of my dress. I let the dress slip down my body and land on the floor. I'm stark

naked, no underwear in sight.

He takes in his breath as he checks me out.

"I know you've been with other women and I don't hold that against you. I'm just hoping this would be different because of what we mean to each other. So get naked and take the lead." I say to him as I walk up to him and rip his shirt off his body..

I take his hands and place them on both my breasts.

"Make me yours. I want you to be the Alpha in our bedroom as you are with the pack. I want to feel your power as I submit myself to you, as your woman. I want you to be the one to give me pleasure and know your touch alone." I say to him biting my lower lip. I move his one hand down my stomach and to my core and look him straight in the eyes.

"Please Alpha..." I whine out.

I needed him badly now and the champagne gave me a boosted confidence which wasn't going to last long thanks to these wolf genes and knowing Maximus, he was going to take this very slow. To make sure I'm okay with this.

He puts a finger in my core and I have to hold onto his shoulders.

"Goddess you're so wet... I've touched myself a thousand times thinking about this day. I just want to thrust into you but I'm not going to rush. I will take my time with you. Get ready for a night of no sleep. Tonight, I will make you mine." He says..

I was a goner. This sexy beast of a man was all mine and he was about to take me. I went from being horny to crazy wanting. I wanted him bad and I was going to get him. All mine.

He pulled away from me and stripped naked. His manhood standing straight and I bite my lip. His eyes darkened at the sight of my lip in between my teeth.

It was going to be a long night. I was so ready for this....
