The Alpha Female’s Second Chance Mate

Chapter 8

In the blink of an eye Finnegan had me pressed against the balcony railing. The slit in my dress allowed me to hike one leg up onto his hip. His mouth descended on mine feverishly and I was in heaven. His tongue was exploring my mouth and it felt like I had been thirsty for ages and his kisses were a tall glass of water. I kissed him back just as urgently as he was kissing me and I thought I would never get enough.

With my leg pulled up like this I could feel his member pressed right against me. I had never wanted James like this. Sure, we had made out and had been pressed up on each other. But the most we had done was touching over top of our clothes. But right now I wanted to shred Finnegan’s clothes and make him take me right here and now. Makes me think it should have been Finnegan this whole time. But apparently James didn’t agree. Because right as I was about to tell Finnegan to take me to his room, James barged out onto the balcony.

“Get your hands off my mate!” “Seriously James? Again? I am not your mate anymore.” Even as James was storming toward us Finnegan and I didn’t let go of each other. And I kept my leg right where it was. Maybe it was wrong, but I liked that I could still feel him pressing right against that most sensitive spot. Just noticing that he was still pressed against me, I flexed my hips against his just the smallest amount. It seriously felt like I couldn’t help myself. Even with James there I still wanted to climb Finnegan like a tree. The pressure of that small movement had my eyes wanting to roll to the back of my head.

Feeling my hips flex against his, Finnegan pulled his gaze from James to look at me. He pushed his hips back against mine and that motion alone made me heat up even more. I leaned forward and nipped at his lower lip before I was pulled roughly away from him. “Ava what are you doing!” The loss of physical contact with Finnegan made me frown before I started glaring at James.

“I am enjoying the company of my mate. Something that you would know about if you hadn’t kept company with someone else first.” “I am your mate! Only me! You can’t just go around calling someone else your mate! You’re going to have to get over what happened and accept me! Accept us!” James had grabbed both of my arms and was so mad he was shaking, when Finnegan ripped his hands off of me. “If you touch MY mate again I will break your hands. I don’t care if you’re my brother.”

James gave a sarcastic laugh before responding, “Oh brother, you know she is my mate. Just because you want her doesn’t mean you can have her.” “Oh James, yes he can. The moon goddess has given me a second chance mate and there’s nothing you can do about it. Just accept my rejection and maybe you will have a second chance too.” “He can’t be your mate because I still am! I haven’t accepted your rejection and I never will. You will be bound to me until the day you die. You will be mine.”

Quite a few people had come out onto the large balcony to see what was going on. I didn’t really pay attention to the crowd until I saw a woman push through them in a pinky puffy dress. “James just accept her rejection and be with me! We are so good together. Better than you would ever be with her!” “Sarah I don’t want you! I wish I had never slept with you!”

Finally, the Alpha and Luna ordered the crowd out of the way. The Alpha pulled James back by his arm while the Luna approached Finnegan and I. “Are you two really second chance mates?” Finnegan’s arms wrapped around me and I melted into him as I answered for us. “Yes Luna, Finnegan and I really are second chance mates. I don’t want to hurt James but I’m not going to hide and wallow in pity until he comes to his senses.” “Oh Ava. You are going to make a lovely Luna.” Luna Debra smiles softly at me and leaned forward to give me a kiss on the cheek. Then she turned and walked towards James. “James, you are my son and I love you. But I have never been more disappointed in you as I have been lately. You need to accept her rejection so that the both of you can properly move on.” “But mom I can’t. I love her so much and she was meant for me. Not HIM!” “Well clearly the moon goddess decided they were meant for each other. Maybe this was her plan all along. Or maybe she saw that you weren’t worthy of her.” Then Luna Debra turned delicately on her heel and left. Alpha dragged James out behind her and Finnegan and I were alone again.

“So, mate, where were we?” His words lit the fire in my belly again and when he kissed me that fire spread lower and lower until my cl*t was pulsing with need. I moaned into his mouth and he scooped me up, bridal style, and carried me right through the ball. Many people stared as he carried me past everyone but I was too busy giggling and kissing his neck to care.
