Forbidden Mate

Chapter 13

The car ride out of the city and to the forest was quiet and awkward. Like what am I supposed to say to the hottest guy I have ever laid eyes on who just so happens to be the person I am destined to mate with for life? 

I don't even notice that we have stopped and Alaric has walked around the car to open my door until. 

"Mon amour is everything okay" kneeling down at my side 

"Uh yes, um" I take his outstretched hand and  a wave of calmness washes over me the tingles spread throughout my body. "Can we just walk for a bit?" 

"Of course Mon amour" we start to wake hand in hand not saying a word. I have so much running through my head that I have to say something. 

"Why do you call me Mon amour? I know what it means but why?" 

"Well I have always called you that" he chuckles I give his a confused look completely bewildered by what he has just said. "I have known you were my mate for many, many years now. Remember I said about when you were introduced to the council" I nod "Well that night the moon goddess came to me, told me how special you are and what we were" we walk a bit further as Iet this information sink in "then I hadn't seen you for close to 3 years and it killed me not seeing the stunning fearless young lady I was destined to be with. Then there you were sat in the 5th row" 

"Wait what" 

"Do you really think a pair of enchanted glasses would stop me recognising you?" 

"Well yeah, nobody was supposed to know who I was" 

.

He stops and faces me pushing a stray strand of hair behind my ear. A breath catches in  the back of my throat "Mon amour no spell, enchantment or distance could stop me from seeing you" looking into his eyes he has me. I know that I can't deny the attraction and pull of the mate bond I can't help but glance between his eyes and his perfect plump cushioned lips. "May I?" He whispers as he closes the distance between us. I am lost for words so just nod. Hos lips meet mine they are so soft and fit perfectly with mine he pulls back and we both smile. This time I pull him in and elongate the kiss. He runs his hand down my arm and the tingles cause me to gasp giving him all the access. His tongue expertly explores my mouth and we fight for dominance. It's a battle neither of us want to lose but I'm weak to him and let him dominate my mouth. I pull back panting, the smile never leaving my face. 

"Wow" I breath out as Alaric chuckles "why have I been hiding from this bond for so long?" 

"Mon amour I have been asking myself the same thing, come" he says, placing his large hand in mine and we continue our walk through the forest. I stumble and double over in pain as me heat flares up the worst  it has been since it started. Before I know what is happening I'm in Alaric's arms being carried bridal style traveling at immense speed. He gently lowers me to the ground. He takes off his jacket and shirt placing them on a low branch. 

Oh no he's not. Is he. I'm not ready for this. Next he removes his shoes and trousers. Then there he is stood before me in nothing but a pair of black boxers. His perfectly sculpted pecs and chest I can't help but stare at. I want to run my hand down them.  To feel each hard ripple of his exquisite body. I start to picture all of the things I want to do to him right here right now. I'm so lost in thought I hadn't realised he had removed my shoes and was helping me stand to remove my dress. When I feel it fall at my feet I instinctively cover myself with my arms. 

"Mon amour, never hide yourself from me" he take my arms and moves them to around his neck placing his hand under my but and lifting. I wrap my legs around his waist and feel his hardness pressing against my inner thigh. 

Oh god. Oh god. Not how I wanted this to happen. He starts to walk with me staring straight into my eyes. Eyes that are swirling with so many emotions. Before I can say anything he lowers us down into icy cold water. I can't contain the moan that leaves my lips just at the relief the water gives me. I'm pretty sure I could hear steam rising from around me. 

"Oh goddess yes" I moan again. Earning me a raised eyebrow from Alaric. "What? Don't look at me like that. You have no idea how amazing this cold water feels" to which he simply laughs. That sexy laugh he does  that causes warmth to spread between my legs. I shift a little and this time it is Alaric's turn to moan. I guess I may have accidentally on purpose shifted myself by rubbing against his hardness. 

Just watching his reaction sends me into a frenzy and my lips crash into his. The need to taste him was too much.  My tongue explores every inch of his mouth fighting for dominance and this time I wasn't backing down. When I pull back to catch my breath I feel my heat leave as it does my whole body shivers and I realise just what has been going on. 

"Alaric, is it okay if we don't, you know…. It's just not how I imagined it would be" 

"Princess I know what you mean, it's not special like this" he nods

"No it's not that it's not special. I honestly think any time spent with you is special. It's just here it's not perfect. Do you know what I mean?" 

"If you want special and perfection then that is what you shall have" picking me up and carrying me from the river he hands me my dress and his jacket to pull on but I hand them back and let my wolf forward. At least this way I know I will definitely warm up and dry off. 

"Hello beautiful", Alaric whispers to my wolf " I guess now we know why you loved all of the attention out here"
