Lunar Eclipse

Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

(Soren’s POV)

I stood at the large bang that resounded through the room, thinking it was just a guard coming it I took my time turning around only to see my sweet mate standing in the doorway. My body froze, I couldn’t think just look at her. She was shorter than me, 5’8” possibly but she seemed so small in the doorway, I knew that looks could be deceiving she could take care of herself.

My nerves bubbled up as I looked at her, she looked amazing in those jeans and the light blue button down she was wearing made her eyes stand out more. The top two buttons of her shirt were open not enough for me to see cleavage but it only made me want to undo the rest of those buttons. I kicked myself mentally wishing I had something nicer to wear for her, I wanted to look like I belonged next to her.

Warm apples and brown sugar hit my nose making things stir that were probably not going to be involved in todays meeting. I inhaled deeply trying to keep her scent in my lungs forever. Her eyes fluttered as well but she still didn’t say anything.

“Annette?” as I spoke her name a visible shiver went through her.

“Yes that is me Soren” now it was my turn to shiver, her name on my lips was everything I had been dreaming about since I met her.

“Please come sit down” I waved my hand to the seat at the table in front of me. Annette weaved through the empty tables before coming to sit in front of me. She walked with such easy grace, the way her hips moved hypnotized me, thinking of how nice those hips would look naked with my hands gripping them…

It was a good thing I was sitting down because my c**k started to stir in my sweats, I would have to readjust myself soon if this kept up. As Annette sat down she learned forward which gave me a view of her cleavage through the top two buttons that were undone.

Though it pained me I adverted my eyes out of respect to her, we did not know each other yet and for me to perve on her already would be perceived as creepy, mate or not. Raguel wanted to keep staring at her, he also wanted to take her on the table then mark her neck right here. He would be less than helpful right now so I shoved him to the back of my head and refocused on Annette.

“I, u-um, uhh” she was having some trouble finding what to say. I was torn between wanting to help her find something to say and letting her continue to stutter so I could hear her voice more.

“It is nice to finally meet your human half. You wolf form is beautiful as well but I think this form is even more exquisite” I gave her my best, most sincere smile which was rewarded with the most attractive blush I had ever encountered.

Instinctively I leaned forward, wanting to be as close to her as possible. My hand was itching to reach out and feel how warm her cheek got with that blush, how soft her skin was. Our eyes connected and the world fell away, I didn’t notice anything around but her, why would I? She was my whole world now, my life.

Annette broke the eye connect first looking down into her lap, her hair shifted sliding over her shoulder to hang next to her face. Her beautiful dark hair starkly contrasted her alabaster skin, icy blue eyes, and that lovely blush I was already in love with.

Without thinking my hand reached up and brushed her hair away from her face, tucking it back behind her ear then cupped her cheek which was even softer than I thought. Touching her sent sparks shooting down my arms. Closing her eyes she leaned into my hand, that was all it took. Tilting her head up I crashed my lips onto hers, all of my emotions flowing into that one singular action.

Her lips were so soft but firm as they moved against mine matching my fevered motions. Her tongue ran along the seam of my lips asking for entry and without a second thought I opened my lips to her. Her tongue darted into my mouth, dancing with my tongue drawing a moan from deep in my chest. A hand found its way to the back of my neck pulling at the hair there, growling I threw the insignificant object that was separating me and my mate across the room.

When our bodies collided every other thought that might have been lingering in my brain left instantaneously, only the need, the want to be with Annette remained. My c**k was now at full attention, pressing into her stomach while her breasts were pressed against my chest. I needed to feel her skin against mine but didn’t want to take my lips off of hers for one second.

Something or someone grabbed my arm, it wasn’t my mate there were no tingles that her touch brought. My wolf jumped to the surface at the hand on my arm, to the both of us it was a threat to our mate. In a millisecond Annette was behind me, before I could even asses the threat my claws were out and a threatening growl escaped my lips.

“You get a regular visit, not a conjugal visit” it was one of the guards that had shown me to my cell earlier.

“Sorry, Thomas I understand” My mate spoke up behind me, she knew this male? My wolf thrashed with jealousy, she was on first name terms with another male. Coming to my senses I shifted my claws back, clearing my throat I muttered an apology to the guard, Thomas shrugged walking back through the door I didn’t realized had opened.

“I will get the table” Annette muttered walking across the room to grab the table, I could see where my hand had gripped the table to throw it, metal was dented. I didn’t take my eyes off Annette as she walked away from me, I could still feel the tingles where her body was pressed against mine. She put the table back down between us again then took her seat, unlike before our kiss I now found the table irritating and wanted to move it again.

Her eyes didn’t meet mine they were staring in an area much lower than that, cheeks still flaming. Looking down I saw why her expression was so embarrassed, the sweats had done little to restrain my erection. I refocused on the situation and sat down looking at her sheepishly, this is not how I wanted our first meeting to go but I am so, so happy that it did go this way. I would have it any other way, I would take every second I could possibly get with Annette.
