CHAPTER 27
E mery
There is no name for all of the sensations running through me. At least, no name that I can identify. There is, however, intense need. I need Chance.
Everywhere.
He feels it too because his hands and lips are everywhere.
In the back of my mind, I know the decent good girl Emery would be embarrassed by how wonton I am with need.
But the Emery that just discovered what she truly is?
The Emery that’s let go of hiding her instincts and covering herself up with what’s supposed to be acceptable as a woman?
This Emery doesn’t give a shit about pretense, shame, or anything of the sort.
All I want is Chance, kissing me, touching me, and yes, fucking me.
Mate!
My wolf.
My wolf. She chants the one word like a mantra. I can’t deny her truth. What she’s always known. That she and I are one, and that this man who holds us like we’re the most precious gift ever presented, is ours.
“Please, Chance,” I beg against his lips.
A gasp escapes my mouth when he suddenly spins me around, presses a hand to the back of my shoulder, forcing me to bend over before him. At this point, I’m so wet that moisture starts running down the insides of my thighs.
A deep moan pushes out of my throat and through my lips when he slides inside of me from behind. I release a rush of air as relief floods my veins. This is what I needed.
Chance’s rough fingers dig into the soft flesh of my waist as he pounds into me. I brace myself with my hands against the cave wall, and spread my legs wider to receive everything he’s giving me.
He slides in impossibly deeper. A growl pushes through my lips and I arch my back.
“Yes, yes,” I pant over and over.
Chance holds nothing back as he takes me like a savage beast. Exactly the kind I crave. With one hand I pinch my nipples, heightening my pleasure to an almost impossible level.
The orgasm starts deep inside of my pussy and spreads throughout my body in an instant. Before I can catch my breath, my pussy walls are contracting and milking Chance for his orgasm.
But he doesn’t come.
Instead, he continues to pound me throughout my orgasm until the contractions ease and I’m able to loosen the muscles of my body.
Then he pulls out of me.
There’s no time to lament his absence because he quickly spins me around and lifts me so that my legs wrap around his waist.
“I need to see you as I claim you.” His voice is so husky that it alone sends a chill down my spin.
I place both of my hands in his hair, letting my fingers massage his scalp. Chance’s eyelids flutter and his cock slaps against my ass. The sexiest groan I’ve ever heard spills from his lips.
“I love you,” I tell him while looking into his eyes.
His eyes widen.
“I-I love you, Emery,” he replies as he squeezes my hips. “Mine. You’re mine. My mate. Fucking mine,” he growls at the same time he slams his cock back inside of me.
The air is stolen from my lungs.
More than that, though, a bright light flashes before my eyes. It feels as if I’m falling and falling. Yet there’s no fear.
All I see is Chance amid the brightness. I curl my fingers into his back, clinging to him.
He holds me with the same vigor as the colors around us change from a bright white to red, purple, green and a host of other colors.
Chance nor I speak any words as the colors around us transform and fade from one to another. After a while the colors fade, leaving behind nothing but the beautiful night sky with a full moon high in the air.
And us.
There’s the two of us. Chance’s eyes silently making promises I would’ve never believed until recently.
Now, I cling to those unspoken promises.
I love you.
Mate.
Mine.
I will always protect you.
They say all of this and more.
My vision blurs from tears. Moreso, from the years of always feeling as if I didn’t truly belong to anything or anyone. Right here and now that loneliness ends.
With my mate.
“Mate,” Chance finally says against my mouth.
We’re back inside the cave. He continues to pound inside of me, another orgasm quickly builds.
Fear that I won’t survive this one invades my thoughts. But Chance tightens his hold on me and brings our mouths together. The kiss erases any doubt.
I tighten my fingers into his flesh when my second orgasm rips through me. This time Chance is coming with me. I feel his release.
Another bright light flashes around us. It feels as if it encases us, cementing us as the only two people that exist.
Mine! Chance says, but his lips don’t move.
However, I’m too overcome with the energy pulsing through the both of us, to take note of it.
Chance steals another kiss, claiming my lips. I surrender to it all, not fully understanding, but knowing that this time with him is different. Something I can’t explain has been cemented between the two of us.
It takes a long while for the traces of both of our orgasms to fade into the background. Chance holds me for what feels like eternity, but at the same time, not nearly long enough.
He slowly releases me just enough to let my legs fall to the ground beneath us. For a beat, I wasn’t certain there was a ground underneath our feet. I still have the sensation as if I’m soaring inches above the ground.
It’s the shakiness of my legs, however, that tell me I am on earth. It’s me, not the ground that’s unsteady.
I attempt to take a step and almost tumble into Chance. But as always, his strong arms are there to hold me up.
“What—what just happened?” I ask.
His fierce gaze meets mine as he replies, “We’re mated.”
“What does that mean?” I whisper.
A beautiful smile tips his lips. “We’re bound to one another for eternity. Mother Moon made it so.” He glances toward the cave’s entrance.
From our vantage point, we can make out only a part of the glowing supermoon. Its position appears as if she’s beckoning us forward.
I’m yours and that means you’re mine. I think the words and smile while a thrill runs through me at the realization.
Yet, when I look back at Chance, his entire body’s stiff.
There’s a stunned expression on his face as he looks down at me. He appears frozen in time. Aside from the steady rise and fall of his chest, one could easily mistake him for a statue.
Chance? I call. “What’s wrong?”
He slowly blinks.
I heard you. He answers without moving his mouth.
