Chapter Thirteen Reaction

Amelia's POV

We sit in silence for a few minutes. Isaiah doesn't speak as I fidget idly mulling through my spinning thoughts. I can feel his heart beating steadily beneath my head and I use the sound to ground myself. Opening and closing my mouth I struggle to voice the words already forming in my mind.

I can't bring myself to look into Isaiah’s eyes as I pour my secret out baring my ugly truth to him. I started from the beginning, from the moment the realization of who the girl in the woods was hit me. My voice shakes as I recall losing Acacia and I have to pause.

“We knew,” he whispers and my heart breaks slightly knowing Ishmael felt the loss of his mate during that time.

Acacia whines her large snout diving between her paws.

“I'm sorry,” I apologize sniffing.

It was a careless decision, he could've been left mateless had anything gone wrong and I hadn't considered him in the slightest. Saying aloud the things I did made them all the more real. It didn't matter how tight he held me, I felt cold. He shouldn't have to comfort me for my mistake.

“You only did what you believe to be right, I will never fault you for that,” Isaiah assures me.

Even as he pulls me closer I can't force myself to look at him, to see if his eyes will betray the warmth he's showing and reveal to me a disdain and anger I will never be able to heal from. Worse yet if I see pain. I will never forgive myself for hurting him.

“It doesn't make it right.”

We both knew what I said is true. Doing what you believe is right does not make it right. His twin had done that and then so had he. I should have learned from their mistakes and yet I had broken his trust.

“Look at me, Amelia,” Isaiah says his fingertips trailing up my cheek gently.

I lean into his touch feeling his hand cup my cheek. My gentle giant.

“I told you our mate would understand,” Acacia remarks.

I don't reply closing our link and focusing on my mate. She can continue her I told you so later. A tear escapes from the corner of my eye silently rolling down my cheek only to be caught by Isaiah’s soft lips as my head is tilting upward. Downcasting my eyes I suppress the sob surfacing in my throat.

“Open those gorgeous eyes, my goddess,” he tries again.

“I'm not sure I want to,” I confess.

“Please baby,” he begs and I feel his nose brush mine.

I gather my strength preparing for the worst and pry my eyes open. My mate's warm chocolaty brown eyes stare into mine. He’s so close the tiny golden flecks begin to swirl in mesmerizing circles and I begin to get lost.

Isaiah’s POV

I had already forgiven Amelia, so seeing her staring at me like this simply awoke the beast. A low growl leaves my throat and Ishmael pushes closer to the surface causing our canines to elongate as my d**k hardens uncomfortably in my jeans.

“Don’t give me that look,” I warn Amelia my hand sliding down her cheek and wrapping around her delicate throat.

I tilt her chin upward and the dim light shines into her sparkling eyes. Her eyes darken even more with l**t as I squeeze slightly. A little more pressure and her lips part in a breathy moan.

“What look?” she asks nibbling her bottom lip and looking at me through lowered lashes.

“You know exactly what look I'm talking about,” I reply using my thumb to tug her bottom lip from between her teeth.

Her lips wrap around my thumb sucking it gently before releasing.

“Baby girl,” I groan my jeans becoming tighter around my growing erection.

“Yes, Daddy?” She answers sweetly.

“Those eyes are begging me to take you right here, right now.”

“Are they?” she asks as if she doesn't have a clue.

“They are.”

“It's because of you.”

“Explain,” I say running my hand down to her breast and kneading making her moan while pressing herself closer.

“When I look at you I can't believe how incredibly sexy you are,” she tells me.

“Oh yeah?”

“Mhmm and when you look at me like you could devour me it turns me on and makes me wanna feel your lips on every inch of my body and have you deep inside of me. So I look at you like I do because I'm imagining just that” she finishes her eyes never leaving mine.

“f**k baby, that's exactly what I'm going to do,” I growl ripping her shirt from her body and crashing my mouth onto hers.

Her lips part readily allowing me access and I use my tongue to f**k her mouth greedily. Her tongue swirls around mine battling for dominance and her hardening n*****s poke into my chest. I suck on her bottom lip biting it roughly before releasing and allowing her to momentarily catch her breath.

I will gladly give Amelia whatever her heart desires and tasting every inch of her is a win for the both of us. Pushing her back on the sofa I rest between her thighs. My body hovers over her as I move down her neck and back to her earlobe. I place hot, wet, open-mouthed kisses over her tanned skin.

“Isaiah,” she moans my name drawing it out until it's cut off with the start of another moan.

“Yes, baby?”

“Mmmm,” Amelia hums rocking against me.

“Words Princess,” I tell her plucking her n****e with my thumb and index finger while my mouth hovers over the other.

“I love you,” she pants her back arching so that her n****e brushes my mouth.

“I love you too.”

I close my teeth over her taut bud nipping playfully. Amelia's hands twine through my hair pulling me closer and I shake my head. It's my turn to be in full control.

Stopping I remove her hands from my hair and clasp her wrists in my left hand racing them above her head. With my right hand, I remove my belt and place it around her wrists. Securing the makeshift tie to the couch I search Amelia’s eyes for any objection. Seeing none, I take it as my cue to continue.
