Mate Protect Me

Chapter 9 – Touch Her and I’ll Kill You

Baden spoke to Derick about the nightmares, Gemma’s eating and her overall condition while he threw on some clothes. Derick listened saying everything sounded quite promising in terms of her recovery. However from her reaction to him earlier, “Baden she has obviously been abused leading to some quite traumatic memories. We will need to wait and see how she responds around females, though for the moment it seems like men make her quite uneasy.”

Before Baden could respond Gemma emerged from the bathroom. Her scent enveloped the room, this was the longest they had spent apart since he had found her. She had blow dried her almost white hair which cascaded around her almost down to her hips. She wore tight fitting jeans which looked like they were painted on they fit so well. A little skin on her mid-rift was showing displaying her hip bones sending waves of lust through his body remembering the touch of her skin. Lastly her top was blue matching her eyes as she walked to Baden staying as far from Derick as she could manage. Baden claimed her as soon as she got close pulling her in front of his body while wrapping his arms around her. Looking down at her Baden could see she was wearing a purple lacey bra which only just fit the fulness of her breasts which were pushed together causing a deep cleavage. “Baden?” Gemma asked quizzically feeling a huge wave of lust through her. 

Embarrassed knowing what she was feeling through the bond, Baden cleared his throat trying to calm his body which was not possible. “This is Derick, our pack doctor”. Derick took a step closer, Gemma panicked trying to back up, only leading her to push back harder into Baden’s body. “Gem it’s ok, he’s just going to check you over. Derick was the one who treated your back while you slept”.

As Derick continued forward, “No” Gemma screeched in fear turning her body clinging to Baden like a small frightened child. Baden’s protective instincts kicked in at Gem’s voice and fear through the bond, his red eyes glowed at Derick stopping him from taking another step. Leaning down he picked up Gemma holding her close as tears streamed down her face.

Baden pulled down one of her straps on her top. “Stay still for me princess, I’m right hear nothing bad is going to happen, I swear to you”. Linking to Derick, “hurry up come look at her back quickly.” Pausing for a moment he added, “touch her skin and ill rip yours off strip by strip.” Derick moved forward quickly and silently nodding at the nearly healed red scar. Derick moved back to the door.

“Luna, my queen your wound is healing well, I will take my leave. Alpha” With that Derick bowed exiting the room quickly under the watch of glowing red eyes of Baden.

Hearing the door click shut Gemma relaxed her grip a little. Baden reached to pull her top strap up properly, “see everything is fine princess and Derick says you are healing well”. A shiver ran down Gemma’s spine as Baden’s finger light brushed her shoulder fixing her strap. Realizing the effect of his touch he caressed her shoulder moving slowly sliding to her neck with the tips of his fingers in an attempt to coax her face out of his neck. “How about we go get some breakfast then?”

Releasing her grip Baden followed suit allowing Gemma to slide deliciously down his body. The friction was intoxicating leaving him hard and wanting. Before she could turn around to walk towards the door Baden griped her arm pulling her back into his embrace. Pausing when his face was at her level he held her chin between his fingers. Red flushed Gemma cheeks as Baden’s warm breath hit her face and his red eyes which held no coldness for her continued to gaze into her own. “You look stunning princess”, with that Baden took her lips demanding more attention. Gemma’s palm rested flat on his chest as she couldn’t resist kissing him back.

This man was otherworldly she couldn’t even explain her attraction. Every touch was like electricity, his voice calming, his embrace was warmth and safety itself. He was better then any dream and he was hers. She smiled thinking he even had her mark, he would be branded forever as her man, her property. “Bae”, she started between kisses. He cut her off moaning at the sound of his shortened name from her mouth lifting her onto the bed, before climbing up hovering over her body. In that moment a big gurgle sounded from Gemma’s stomach. Looking torn he pulled her up from the bed, “breakfast, but we will continue this later”. He stated, the surety of the words leaving Gemma’s heart pounding with anticipation.

Taking Gemma’s hand firmly he led her out his, no their bedroom he thought with a satisfied smirk. The kitchen was situated on the bottom floor at the other end of the den. Only some wolves had bedrooms in the den the bulk of the pack lived on site in group houses. Making their way from upstairs many people stared at Gemma. Baden noticed Gemma manoeuvring herself to stay as far away from any male that came near while getting as close as possible to him. Not that any male would go anywhere near her with the daggers he was giving any man that so much as looked at her. By the time they reached the kitchen she was pretty well walking forward while wrapped in his arms between her fear through the bond and his possessive nature.

Baden lifted Gemma onto a bar stall leaning against the main island bench, ignoring the other women in the kitchen who’s jaws almost dropped off. “You sit here princess; I’ll get Sarah to make you breakfast. I’ll be 2 minutes”. Gemma nodded back smiling as she grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl in front of her.
