My Secret

Chapter 9

Emily POV

Luna has been pacing in my mind this whole time, somewhat distracting me from Damien. I am not sure I heard him correctly.

"THEY ARE ACCEPTING US!" Luna shouts excitedly.

Calm down, Luna you are making my head hurt, we don't know what their decision is going to be, I replied.

"You really are stupid, aren't you?" Luna stated, bluntly.

"Luna, what are you talking about?" "Wait! did he just say what I think he said!?"

It took me a minute to process that he said they were accepting us and not rejecting us.

"OMG! They are accepting us, Luna! I cannot believe this! I always thought we'd be rejected because of the great responsibility we are and not to mention how much a pain protecting us is going to be!" I yell to Luna through our connection.

"Way to sound like a squealing schoolgirl," Luna replies, very much so over my dramatics. "Shut up already and tell the poor guy! You are making us look very stupid right now!" Luna whines.

"Damien, we are so happy that you are accepting us. We have, well, maybe more so me than my wolf, have been so worried that we would be rejected and would have to continue hiding. I did not even want to think about what the future would hold without my mate. I do not know everything that will happen or what is to come. I am not even 100% sure what all of my powers are." I reply quickly.

"None of that matters to me. You are mine and I will do whatever it takes to keep you as mine. I will not let anyone hurt you or steal you away from me," Damien replies quickly.

"whooof, what a relief that is, now you know what we should do? Huh, do ya? Do ya?" Luna practically yells to me.

"Luna, why are you always such a horndog? Why is everything s****l with you? Give me a couple of minutes to come to terms with my step-brother being my mate and what I WANT to do next, Ok?" I reply sternly. Luna quickly rolls her eyes and flits her tail back and forth a couple of times before laying down in the back of my mind giving me a chance to decide how I am feeling.

I do have to admit that I want him and want to mate with him already. It is a struggle being in his room with his scent everywhere. I now know why I felt so comfortable in here. I usually am very shy, especially around guys, even more so, hot guys like Damien. I see Damien staring at me. His eyes keep flickering back a forth between his eyes and the black of his wolf's eyes. I can see that he is trying to keep himself and his wolf under control and keep himself from pouncing on me.

I can't say that I would be opposed to that. "Count me in on that! Pounce away, PLEASE!" Luna butts in quickly.

"I thought you were keeping to yourself!" I reply snarkily.

Damien POV

I am really struggling with keeping to myself right now. All I can think about is touching her and claiming her. The thought of sinking my teeth into that pretty little shoulder is getting me hard. I haven't even touched her again and I am getting so hard, it's going to be very uncomfortable soon. Her scent feels like home and I just want to wrap myself in her and her scent. She is obviously arguing with her wolf but I can sense her excitement.

I decide to make the first move. I slowly start to walk towards her. We aren't very far apart to begin with because of my reaction to her scent and because Shadow decided to push himself through just a bit too much. She is standing there with her big doe eyes, watching me come closer. I do not stop and keep walking towards her, she starts to take steps backward until I have her up against the wall with my chest against the front of her. I put my face between her neck and shoulder and take a deep breath in, trying to get as much of her scent as I can. I slowly start to kiss her neck and down to the junction between her neck and shoulder where my mark will be. I am assuming my mark will be placed on that pretty little neck before the night is over. As soon as I press my lips to her marking spot, her breath hitches and I can tell shes holding back a moan.

"Don't hold back from me, I want to hear everything," I reply huskily. She gives me a small nod.

"Words, beautiful. I need to hear you"

"Ok, I will use my words," she replies, breathless.

I continue kissing her neck and shoulder. She beings to squirm under my touch. I can tell this is doing as much for her as it is for me because her arousal is beginning to fill the room making it harder for me to go slow. I grab her hip and hold her closer to me. I want to feel all of her, pressed up against me. I bring my head up from her neck to look at her and the next thing I know she has pressed her lips to mine in a gentle but emotion-filled kiss. Her lips are soft and luscious. I have never felt anything close to this amazing. I cannot imagine how it is going to feel to be inside her, filling her to the brim, and making her scream my name.

I grab her hips and pull her up, she immediately wraps her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. She is holding on tightly but not breaking our kiss. She beings to deepen the kiss. As soon as she deepens the kiss, it snaps something in me and there is no stopping me from mating her right here, right now.
