Vivianna #2
As I munched on my breakfast, Rik went to go check on Koit.
He kissed me on the top of the head before he left and nodded at Tav.
I crunched on my bacon, thoughts whirling around in my brain.
Could I really be okay with having more than one mate?
Would they? Did Rik really feel it was okay to walk away from his pack, his family?
What if Koit didn’t approve? What if Koit decided not to join us?
Did I want Koit too? Oh god, when will these pain meds start working, my brain is going to explode!
Talk to your mate, you’re not alone in this anymore. He is right here at your side, wanting to help you when you ask for it.
She was right. I needed to remember that I wasn’t alone. I had someone who’d given up everything to be with me through this. I looked over at Tav and saw him watching me intently.
“Care to share the war that’s going on in your brain?” he finally asked.
“Do I even deserve the right to have more than one mate? I’m beyond happy to have you by my side, but am I worthy of you giving everything up? Could I ask them to do the same?” I said, finally getting to the core of what was bothering me.
Tav lifted his hand to cup my cheek. “You’re not getting it, love.
You didn’t ask me to do anything, I chose you.
Mating can’t happen unless both sides are truly meant for each other.
You can’t force someone to be mated to you and vice versa.
We don’t know the ins and outs of it. Some say there might be some magic involved, but no one ends up mating a person that wasn’t meant for them.
You, my love, have so much to do for this world, that I know deep down you deserve all the love and support you can possibly handle. ”
I felt a tear trail its way down my cheek as my heart burst with love for my mate.
I couldn’t deny it any longer—I was head over heels in love with this man that I’d only known for a matter of days.
He was right. I knew he was mine and I was his.
I also knew that I felt that way about Rik.
I wouldn’t rush things. I wanted them to happen when they should.
I needed to just trust that I wasn’t the one forcing them to make the choice.
“Thank you,” I said and kissed him soundly this time.
Tav moved the tray out of the way and crawled over to me to continue our kiss. Tav and I made out, enjoying each other’s bodies, groping under clothes, building the sexual tension around us when a knock sounded on the door.
Tav growled at the intrusion. “What?”
I clapped a hand over my mouth to hide my laughter at seeing him so undone. I’d made the chill, go-with-the-flow Tav turn into a snarling hot mess of a man.
“Just wanted to see if Viv was interested in going into town,” Koit’s chipper voice called from the other side of the door.
“Sounds great, I just need some time to get ready,” I called from under Tav.
“Tav, just so you know, a quickie doesn’t fall into the category of getting ready, in case you were wondering,” Koit said, snickering as he walked away.
That wolf is growing on me every day. We sure he’s a beta?
I must agree—he doesn’t seem to back down from the guys, and he’ll pull crap like this just to set them off. There must be more to that story.
Tav rolled off me and stood on the other side of the bed.
I pouted at him, seeing that he was going to take Koit’s advice.
I, on the other hand, had different plans.
I bounced off the bed and saw that I was only wearing a large T-shirt and underwear.
I pulled the shirt off and dropped it on the floor, holding Tav’s gaze.
I gave him a smirk as I tossed my hair over my shoulder and walked into the bathroom, leaving the door open and inviting.
I quickly turned the shower on so the water would start to warm up before he made it in here after me.
Sure enough, moments later, Tav was in the bathroom, naked and ready for me.
He scooped me up and walked us both into the shower, kissing my neck.
He murmured against my skin, adding an extra layer of intensity to his kisses.
I shoved my hand into his hair, letting my nails scrape into his scalp, then pulled his head back so I could have his mouth.
I licked across his lower lip, asking for entry, which he granted gladly.
As I had my way with him, he leaned me against the wall of the shower, and with one arm around my waist, held me secure.
He used his other hand to rip off my underwear, then checked to see how wet I was for him.
Finding that I was more than ready, he rubbed my clit a few times and then slid me down over him.
