Chapter Seventeen
Gideon stopped in front of his door and put the key in the scanner. The woman downstairs could tell if he went to his room from the sensors on his door, so he decided not to take a chance on her seeing him and sending security.
He closed the door and started walking up and down the hallways, following his mate’s scent.
He made sure to use the stairs because the elevators had cameras. He knew they had cameras in the hallways, but he knew from experience they only monitored the elevators and room sensors unless they had a reason to keep watch.
He thought he’d fooled the woman downstairs, but he wasn’t going to take a chance that the woman would call the police.
Her scent hit him when he reached the top floor. He followed it down the hallway and to her door. He knew he had no key, but he could break in and do it in such a way that no one would know except Jessica if she were awake.
Gideon grabbed the handle and used a small knife he carried to jimmy the lock. It was amazing how easy it was, and it also pissed him off. She had deliberately put herself in harm’s way, and he wasn’t happy about it. He’d deal with that eventually. Now, he just needed to hold her.
He shut the door and looked around. There was enough light coming in through the window that he could see her clearly, face down on the bed, naked, with the blanket pushed down enough that her back was naked and practically glowed.
What broke his heart were the dried tears on her cheeks. He wanted to kill his cousin, but he also had to take some responsibility for her pain because he hadn’t told her about the will. Now, she would think he was deceiving her.
His main objective right now was to bond with his mate. He needed to show her, in every way, to whom she belonged.
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.”
“I thought you already did that.”
“I have. But I’m going to do it again when I think you need to be reminded.”
The movement in her cunt grew as he pushed her passion to a higher level.
She tried raising her hips again, but his weight kept them pinned to the mattress.
“Please let me...”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you‘re coming four or five times before I take your ass and mark you with my fangs.”
“Here’s the first one,” he said when he felt her tighten on his fingers. “That’s it, let it take you.”
She pressed her face into the pillow as she screamed, making him smile.
“Now, I need a taste.” He separated her legs as he moved down so his mouth could get to her tasty nectar.
He easily held her steady as his tongue took his first taste.
“Fuck, nothing tastes as good as my mate. Sweet and juicy.” He ate at her, sucking what slid out of her, and demanded she make more for him.
His grip on her hips tightened when she started to thrash around.
Another scream flew from her. He continued for a moment before moving up her body again. He pressed his lips to her temple before he started to press his cock into her cunt.
Fuck, he almost blacked out at the exquisite feeling of having her wrapped around his cock. Within another five minutes, he’d made her come two more times.
“Now, I’m going in your ass.”
Gideon smiled when she shuddered. He pulled out of her cunt and slid into her asshole. She was so far gone that she tried to push back against him, begging him to go deeper and let her come.
His teeth snapped together when he pushed the last few inches into her. He pressed his lips against the back of her head. “I’ll take care of you, mate.”
He started to glide in and out slowly, driving them both crazy with lust.
“Gideon,” she yelled.
“All right. Brace yourself because I’m going to ride you until you’ll be able to feel it for a few days.”
His thrusts sped up, and every move was calculated to bring her the most pleasure. It didn’t take long before he felt her start to tighten, making it hard for him to hold back enough to let her go first.
Her scream built. He knew it would only take a few more thrusts for her to go over, so he smoothed the hair out of his way, let his teeth elongate, and pressed them against her shoulder.
They penetrated at the same time she let go, and it made it even better for her. A groan tore from his throat as his seed filled her tight chasm.
They were both shaking, and it made it hard for him to keep his weight off of her. He slid them to the side, making sure his cock was still in her, and wrapped his arms around her.
He comforted her as her body calmed and her breathing evened out.
“Get some rest, mate. I’ll wake you up in a bit so we can take a bath.”
“Gideon...”
“I know. We have some things to talk about.”
She nodded.
“Rest.”
He listened to her breathing for a long time as his thoughts swirled in his head. He was surprised and felt a bit anxious. He never had been the most tactful or diplomatic person. In fact, most of his pack thought he was always grouchy and liked barking at his people.
He decided no matter what. It would get resolved before they left that room.
