Taming Her Beastly Mate

Bella stepped out of Alexis’ room and her beast immediately confirmed that Brian was her mate. Had she been suppressing her dragon all this time? That couldn’t have been the case. It was more likely that the longer she was around Brian the natural pull began to work. And that was when the urges began to show up while she was suppressing the truth. All dragons have the ability to suppress their beasts to a certain extent. Since it is like suppressing your urges. However, Bella has more control over this as it is a skill she had worked on. Deep down she had trained herself to suppress the mate pull.

‘Mate!’ Bella’s inner beast stirred as she met with the concerned hazel eyes.

“Bella, are you alright? You didn’t change?” Brian studied her face. Her eyes were slightly red as if she had been crying. His eyes darted up to see that Alexis had a faint smile on her lips. She nodded to him that everything was okay. And his gaze went back to his mate.

Bella intertwined her fingers tightly together as she bit her inner l*p hard drawing little droplets in her mouth. The force pulling her to Brian was almost suffocating. Her breath strangled in her throat and her heartbeat accelerated. She felt like she was almost gasping for breath as the sensation rolled over her in waves. His scent washed over her swamping her senses giving her an oddly mingled panic and longing feeling. The desire was so strong it scared her.

Bella could see he was still staring at her waiting for her to say something. But her mouth suddenly felt too dry to speak. She tried to swallow the spit that wasn’t there making her throat stick together. She felt Alexis’ hand land on her shoulder. She turned her head to see an encouraging smile on her face.

“Remember what we talked about.”

Bella nodded her head slowly as she listened to Alexis’ voice. She remembered but she felt much braver a moment ago behind the closed doors. It was different now that she was allowing her beast out of suppression. But she could see the concern in Brian’s eyes, and she felt a pang in her chest. Something that made her feel like she needed to protect him.

“Brian,” Bella murmured as she tried to ignore the liquid desire that was flooding through her. “Can we go somewhere and talk?” She watched as a warm smile spread on his face. He nodded his head and reached his hand out to her.

“Sure, come on. I’ll show you my office. How does that sound?” Brian watched her curiously as she stared at his hand as if it was a deadly creature. Then she slowly reached her hand out placing just her fingertips in his hands. He watched as her lips pursed together tightly and she looked like she was in pain. He glanced up at Alexis again worried, but she only nodded her head at him to go on.

Brian felt slightly annoyed that Alexis was dismissing Bella’s issues so casually. But he admitted if it was anything serious, she wouldn’t be so relaxed about it. He held her fingers gently and led her back down the stairs where they had come from. Bella stayed quiet the whole way. He led her into his office and then stopped to shut his door.

Bella took a few steps away from Brian as she tried to focus on the room around her. She was trying to ignore how every breath she was inhaling the aphrodisiac of Brian’s sweet male scent. She turned to look at him. She caught his golden gaze wandering over her before his eyes returned back to their hazel coloring. It looked like he was also struggling to reign in his beast. This reassured her and gave her the courage she needed to finally try to speak.

“Brian, I—I can feel the mate pull.” She chewed on her inner l*p as she watched his eyes flashing in color. “But I’m—I’m scared of it.” The moment she mentioned she was scared his hazel coloring took over. He stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her. Immediately, sweet sparks erupted over her body as the tingles threatened to fuse them together. She felt like all her strength had been drained from her in that moment. She let her body lie against him while she rested her head on his chest, inhaling the smell that was made just for her.

“You don’t have to be afraid Bella. You don’t have to do anything you aren’t ready for. We can take our time and get to know each other if that is what worries you? I’m here for you Bella. Tell me how I can help.” Brian leaned his head on top of hers. He smiled as he felt his beast calm having her in his arms.

“Are you sure you want me as your mate? Because having a crystal dragon as a mate can be—” Bella explained everything that she had to Alexis. She appreciated how Brian let her say everything that was on her mind. He just quietly held her and sifted his hand through her hair. When she was finally done, she waited in silence for what he was going to say.

“I want you, Bella. I don’t care if having you puts a target on my back. It is one that I would gladly bear. A fated mate is a blessing, Bella. You are looking at it the wrong way. This isn’t someone you are forced to have. It is the primitive cry of your beast telling you this is the person compatible with your soul. It is the person that we can share a beautiful trust with.” Brian ran his nose in her hair as he breathed in her scent. “You are everything Bella. You are everything that I have ever wanted and everything I didn’t even know I needed.”

Bella pulled back as her fingers began to tremble. She looked up at his face and then her eyes settled on his lips. Maybe if she could at least taste them, she would calm down. And as if Brian was sensing that she watched as his head lowered, his mouth closing on hers.

Bella was surprised by the gentle quality of his searing hot k**s. Her lips parted easily under his gentle persuasive pressure and his tongue moved into her mouth. He made a rough sound in his throat as he adjusted her body fully in his arms. He pressed her to him, his hand sliding down her back to her h**s. He applied pressure to her, arching her into the power of his loins and thighs.

Instinctively, Bella’s fingers gripped into Brian’s shirt. She was responding to the heated pleasure that began to flare deeply within her. There was an almost primitive call beckoning her and she became aware of his male attraction. Her beast was straining to answer the call and respond to her mate. His lips forcefully parted from hers as he took in a shuddering breath.

“Maybe I should get you to your room…”

Bella was panting in ragged breaths as she looked at him in confusion. Had she done something wrong? She felt his fingers trembling on her as he closed his eyes.

“I don’t think… I’m not going to be able to control myself. I want you too badly, Bella.” Brian said roughly, his voice was shaking with the force of his desire. “I think it is best to remove the temptation from me.” A dark chuckle escaped his lips. “I think you should probably slap me. If you only knew of the thoughts going through my mind… you would be within your rights to slap me.”

Bella smiled and reached her hand out allowing her fingers to rub over his chest. The beckoning tingles erupted as a purr of pleasure echoed from his throat. “Maybe I want you to show me the thoughts in your mind.”

“No,” Brian had his eyes closed as he enjoyed her touch. “You aren’t ready for all of this Bella.”

Bella could feel his body tense as it trembled with need. He was doing everything in his power to hold himself off for her. She could feel the mate pull but because she had voiced she wasn’t ready he was holding back… for her. It was like a light switched on in her head. She wasn’t confused anymore and she knew exactly what she wanted.

“Brian,” Bella watched as his eyes fluttered open looked down at her. “Take me to your room tonight.”

“Bells,” Brian whispered out in a ragged breath.

“Brian, I’m not asking you. I’m telling you. I want my mate. Mark me, Brian.”

The last bit of restraint from Brian was gone. His lips came and crashed down on hers. He lifted her body into his as he took control of her. He parted her lips for the invasion of his tongue as he moved them from his office.

Bella felt delirious with the pleasure of his k****s and at that moment, she felt like she could die of contentment. His lava tongue entangled with her own bringing a warm sensation over her whole body. During his feverish k****s, she listened to the clicking sound of a door. She opened her eyes as he slid her body down his front. She looked around to see somehow they had managed to make it to another room, Brian’s room she guessed. She turned her gaze back to his to see him standing there with clenched fists.

“Bells, are you sure? After this point… I won’t be able to stop.” Brian’s eyes were fixated on her as she smiled at him. She crisscrossed her hands in front of her and grabbed the bottom hem of her shirt pulling it over her head. An inarticulate sound of hunger ripped through his throat as he hastily discarded his own shirt. He kicked his pants off next as she did the same. He stepped towards her his eyes trailing over her body.

He stretched his hand to her back unsnapping her bra, baring her breasts and freeing them. He wrapped a strong arm around her and lowered his head to the soft flesh. His tongue snaked out to capture her taunt bud and he drew it into his searing moist mouth. A strangled cry from surprise and exhilarating pleasure escaped Bella’s throat. Brian lifted her body and carried her to his bed. All the while he continued to devour her and trace his tongue over her bud.

He came on top of her as they reached the bed. His hand then made the reverse journey downwards. He hooked his fingers around her panties and tugged them off of her. Then his hand traced back over her leg making the journey back to her moist center. She arched into him as his hand slipped between her inner thighs.

Bella lifted her h**s again as she felt an aching desire for him. He slipped two fingers inside of her as electric pleasure shuddered throughout her body. His fingers moved against her wetness easily as her body readily accepted him. She arched into his fingers as his head moved over to take in her other bud. She m****d from the heated pleasure as she bucked against his hand. She let out a cry as her body gripped his fingers and her body shook with her c****x.

Brian kicked off his bottoms and moved up to brush his lips over Bella’s. “My Bells.” His hot breath whispered as he moved his lips to her neck. He licked over her skin which was throbbing with the pounding of her pulse. His lips moved over the frantic rhythm that continued to increase with the anticipation of what was coming. He began to suck on her neck as he singed her with the heat of his beast. At the same time, he moved himself between her legs. The probing of his maleness found her moist and surrendering, she arched into him readily and he took her easily.

Bella felt surging electric pleasure flowing all through her body. The hot ember pushing into her neck and the jolting pleasure from her center was madness. He slowly moved against her as she took ragged breaths. She arched into him finding a rhythm of their passionate dance. She had never experienced anything like this. There were so many electrifying sensations rippling through her body. It wasn’t long until the wildly surging pleasure began to peak again. And soon it swept through her as she gripped her fingers tightly into him. Pushing him down to her. Only moments later she felt his body tighten as he too surrendered to pleasure. A hoarse cry came from him as he relaxed his body against her.

After a long minute, he stirred lifting up on his elbows to look at her. He kissed her mouth and feathered her face with soft intimate k****s. He then tilted his head to admire the mark he left on her neck. A tired smile reached his lips as he proudly looked at it. He had marked his mate.

“Brian,” Bella smiled as his gaze returned to hers. “I feel you.” She tapped her chest lightly. “I feel our connection.”

“And it will never leave you. Just like I won’t.” Brian leaned down and captured her lips gently moving against them. “My sweet Bells.” He moved his nose into her cheek as he gave her a soft k**s before rolling over beside her. He pulled her into his arms and curled his body into her.

He felt a strong sense of possessiveness wash over him as their connection fastened tightly together. Brian smiled and kissed the top of her head. He felt her slightly stir into his touch. Her sweet quiet rhythm of breathing showed she had already drifted off to sleep.

Brian closed his eyes as he breathed in her comforting scent. This feeling was greater than anything he could have ever imagined. He had his mate. She was marked. And she was his.

Then his eyes opened widely. Oh sh.it. He had forgotten during the heat of everything that he still had a role to play. He still had to pretend to be Alexis’ mate. Though he reasoned he could still do it. And now that Bella was marked it would keep other dragons away from her. Until everything is sorted out with Erebus, they could stay upstairs in the spare room Bella was going to stay in. They would still be able to put on their charade. Alexis had her mate, and he had his.

He closed his eyes again as he let himself be lulled to sleep by the soothing scent of his mate.
