Oh baby, you’re mine.
Smiling slightly, I bite into his neck, my heart pounding as my emotions course through me. He throbs against my core as I feel a
current like a lightning bolt shoot through us as our bond becomes full and complete.
I feel complete. I extract my teeth, gently licking the wound before I softly kiss it. He hugs me tightly, one hand squeezing my ass
slightly before he kisses my forehead and gently turns us so I’m lying down beside him once more.
Our eyes meet and I smile. I’ve never felt happier...
He doesn’t say anything, his eyes full of emotions as he tenderly combs his fingers through my hair soothingly and I close my
eyes, allowing myself to succumb to the blissful sleep that is summoning me...
“Here.”
I smile as I gingerly sit down on the bed, taking the large steaming mug of coffee from him.
It’s the following morning and I’m glad we wasted no time in hitting the bedroom as soon as we got home yesterday evening. It
gave me a decent amount of time to rest it off, even though I still feel so exhausted.
I’m wearing one of his tops that’s not been washed, enjoying his scent, and he’s practically eye fucking me again.
“Did you sleep good?” he asks, crouching before me as he cups my thigh, brushing his thumb over one of the fading bruises.
“I slept better than good.” I murmur, leaning down, my core clenching at his touch that sends pleasure rippling through me. He
turns his head, kissing me softly, and it takes my all not to let go of the coffee mug.
Almost as if he can read my mind, he reaches for it, placing it down on the bedside table before he changes positions and gets
on his knees in front of me, making him tower slightly above me as he cups my face and kisses me.
My heart pounds, my thighs squeezing his hips as we kiss passionately. “Fuck, I have to go to work.” I groan, forcing myself
back.
For the first time, I wish I could be irresponsible and just skip work again!
“I’ll continue later...” he says, standing up. My gaze follows his abs and that bulge in his pants. He’s only in a pair of sweats and
the urge to yank them down and-
Down girl.
“So, there’s a disease going around at the hospital, one that we are calling ARKI and from what one of the doctors said they do
think we might actually know something about it... I requested to be allowed to do some research and wes granted that.” I say,
trying to clear my mind,
“I think I’ve heard of it, it reminded me of the word Arkan, Ark?” he says, passing me my mug again. I frown, tilting my head,
“What are you trying to say? That the Arkan are behind it? But why? ARK stands for the components that make up the disease,”
“Still... sounds off to me,” he replies, confusing me.
“But it targets humans-”
“To create fear against us? Might sound like a conspiracy theory, but I have come across some crazy things in life. This wouldn’t
be so far–fetched,” he answers quietly.
I frown deeply, it made sense but... “If that was the case, wouldn’t they be creating fear regarding it. It’s not even been chased by
the media.” I drink my coffee slowly.
“Maybe the timing isn’t right, but the fact they let you- a transfer doctor in on the research, seems fishy to me either way,” he
says, running his fingers through his hair.
“I did think that for a moment, but they might just be desperate. They are short- staffed.” I reason as I stand up, downing the rest
of my coffee and placing my mug down on the bedside table.
He tugs me close. “Hmm.”
“And I’ll be working with Doctor Owen,” I add, certain the name will ring a bell and I rather he knows then find out later.
“The doctor that woman at the restaurant mentioned?” he asks, his face unreadable.
I nod. “Yes, although she didn’t even know the full facts. I didn’t agree to be his date for the charity ball. I told him, I’ll think about
it to get rid of him and I told him yesterday no and that I have a boyfriend.” I snake my arm around his neck and tug him down for
another kiss.
“Good... As long as he knows you’re mine...” he says quietly, his eyes are cold for a second, reminding me that he is indeed not
someone to mess with.
“Oh, he’ll know. My mark is clear proof of that.” I whisper.
He doesn’t reply, giving me a small nod and kissing me once more. We’re bonded fully, mated, and united, but right now, at this
moment, I don’t know what he’s thinking.
He kisses me and I kiss him back, fuelled by my feelings for him.
But he’s right. Cassian needs to make sure he doesn’t overstep and I’ll make that very clear.
