sighed and stroked her hair.
“Go to sleep now, Sasha.”
****
Even with the most painful erection he’d ever had,
he slept better than he could remember in years. He held his mate close,
stroking her hair and listening to her breathing.
Savron had no idea how this was going to work
between them, and he hoped she forgave him for what he’d done. How did you
explain to a woman that you’d mate-marked her, that they now had a bond
stronger than a human marriage?
Sasha snuggled more into him, and he chuckled as she
moaned, “It can’t be morning. I only just got to sleep.”
“It’s almost lunchtime.”
She sat up fast, and he watched as she groaned and lay
back on him. “I didn’t realize it was that late. I have to get up and call my
mum. I need to go home, too, as I’ve got a dance class late this afternoon I
can’t miss. I have a big competition in a couple of weeks.” This time she
slowly got up. “I’m going to be busy for the next several weeks. I have an
assignment I need to have done by Friday, and I need to have at least half of a
book read for English, plus homework I do for every other subject, and that’s
just this week.”
She got off him, walked to the bathroom, and shut
the door. His little mate had no idea that she couldn’t brush him off. He wasn’t
going to let her. He heard her do her
morning business and then he heard the toilet seat go down and the lid strain
as she sat. He chuckled and went after her. He opened the door to see her
sitting on the toilet her feet tucked under his shirt and her head rested on
her knees.
“You want to talk in here or out there?”
Sasha turned bright red and eased off the toilet
seat. “Can we go sit in your lounge room?”
“Sure.”
Savron turned and walked to his lounge room. He felt
her follow behind him. He sat on the sofa and pulled her next to him as she
walked by him to sit on the recliner.
They sat for a moment in the quiet just cuddling. He
knew she had a million questions.
“Ask.”
“What did you do to me last night?”
“Well I thought that was obvious, but if you want a
re—”
Sasha whacked his chest and made a choking embarrassed
noise. “Not that. I know what that was. I was talking about you biting me.” She
reached up and rubbed his mark.
“I mated you.” He leaned down and kissed his mark. She
shivered against his body. “You are the one woman in the world that I and my lion
could and will love. The woman who can have my children. The woman who is the other half of my soul. The only woman who can soothe my savage beast.” He cupped
her face. “The one woman in the whole universe who was made
just for me, and I just for you.”
Sasha’s breathing was coming in pants, and her eyes
were wide as saucers. “How do you know this?” she whispered.
He kissed her, bringing her onto him so she
straddled his lap. Sasha’s arms came straight around his neck, and she held him
tight. His body came alive, and Sasha’s scent intensified.
Fuck .
This was going to be the hardest thing he’d ever done. When she’d told him last
night she was a virgin and was saving it for someone special, the man she’d
marry, he knew he couldn’t have sex with her. It had to be her choice. Savron
wanted it to be her choice. He wanted Sasha to choose him.
Pulling his mouth from hers, he groaned at her passion-filled
eyes. “This.” He pointed to her and then himself. “You’re irresistible to me. I
knew you were something special as soon as I saw you. It took me a while to
figure it out, I’ll admit, but my lion went crazy and knew instantly.” He
tucked some of her hair behind her ear. “Do you remember how I acted on your
birthday?”
She nodded.
“That was when I knew for sure. I got out of my car,
and desert rose hit me full force. Then I saw you in that tiny, tight dress, and I almost came in my pants. I thought you were, are, the most beautiful
thing I’d ever seen.” He let his hands trail down her back.
“Go to sleep now, Sasha.”
