HIS REJECTED MATE

Chapter2

Salina sauntered over to Braxton, a mischievous smile on her face. Braxton tilted his head to the side, studying her face.

"What's that look for?"

Salina chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. " I just remembered the first time we met; you were so grumpyyy".

Braxton smiled, wrapping his arms around Salina's waist.

"But here you are now, smiling at me".

Braxton shrugged, smirking down at his bundle of joy. " It's the Sal's effect, I guess".

Salina laughed and winked, happiness radiating through her. " You got that".

Slowly the big smile on her face disappeared and she sighed. She lowered her head to Braxton's chest, and then she looked up at him, her eyes holding so many emotions.

What are mine doing right now?

He's not supposed to be here. I'm just going to end up peeling open the scars on my heart.

"You know, you are not supposed to be here, right?"

Braxton sighed. "Yeah".

"Why are you, then? Is something wrong back home?"

Braxton shook his head at her, the upper side of his lips tugging up slightly. Salina gives him a look.

"What is it?"

"I love the way you called my pack, home".

Salina pulled away from Braxton instantly, her guard going up. She made her way to her bed and sat on the edge.

"Why are you here, Brax? A lot of things could go wrong if you are caught here".

Braxton groaned. "I don't care anymore, Sal".

He made his way to her and knelt between her feet. He reached for her hands and wrapped his hands around it.

"I miss you so bad, Sal. Whenever I wake up and whenever I go to bed, I'm always thinking about you. I keep wondering if you are okay, what you are doing, and if you miss me just the way I miss you". He raised Salina's hands to his lips and kissed them. "It felt like I was going crazy, Sal. It felt like my heart was being shredded into tiny little pieces".

Salina shook her head. "Our mate bond is broken, though. Why would you still feel that torn? It doesn't work that way, does it? You are supposed to forget about me".

"Well, I didn't. For the exact same reason you didn't forget me, either. My wolf misses you. I miss you".

"Mine is different, Braxton". Salina stood up from her bed and paced her room. "I don't have my wolf, I can easily forget you".

Braxton grabbed Salina's shoulder and turned her to look at him. "You jumped into my arms just now. You literally just shared a kiss with me, Sal".

Salina shook her head. "I was just surprised to see you, Brax. I wasn't expecting to see you here, that just it".

"Which means that the reaction was the honest truth since I took you by surprise. It meant you had no time to think and rationalize".

Salina groaned internally.

Does he have to be so damn smart?

Braxton placed a finger under her chin and tilted her head up. " Look into my eyes and tell me you forgot about me, Sal. That you don't love me anymore".

Tears welled up in Salina's eyes, and she looked away from Braxton immediately.

"There is no point, Brax".

"I have a plan, Sal. I'm going to claim you officially; I will let the whole world know the truth, and that is, that you are MY MATE!"

"Look at me, Sal". Braxton gently moved Salina's face to his." I love you".

Tears rolled down Salina's cheeks, and Braxton leaned down, kissing her cheeks dry. He pulled away, their faces inches apart.

It was hard to tell who moved first, but their lips locked in a hot, passionate kiss. Braxton sucked on her lower lips, biting down gently on it.

Salina gasped and pressed herself against Braxton, rubbing up against him like a cat. Taking advantage, Braxton slipped his tongue into Salina's mouth, their tongues fighting against each other.

Braxton lifted her up against him and Salina wrapped her legs around his waist. Braxton walked to the queen-size bed behind them and lowered them down on it.

Salina wrapped her legs tighter around Braxton's waist and ground against his erection through his pants. Braxton groaned and moved his hands to the hem of Salina's Singlet, pulling it up and above her head.

He pecked her lips. "I have missed you, Sal".

He pulled the sports bra she had under above her head too, her perky breast springing free.

Braxton's breath caught and cursed under his breath. "You are so f*****g beautiful, Sal".

Salina blushed. She gave Braxton a look. "No cursing. Aren't you the one always saying that, huh?"

Braxton smirked at her and lowered his head to her chest, pulling one light pink n****e into his head. He sucked down on it.

"f**k! Brax...."

Braxton's lips tugged up slightly as he had been aiming for that reaction. Rolling his tongue around one n****e, he pinched and tugged at the other with his hands. Salina squirmed under him as sensations ran straight from her chest to the area between her legs.

Salina lifted her hips off the bed, seeking relief for her aching core. She pressed her middle against Braxton's, grinding against it.

"I... I need you, Brax.....please."

Braxton pulled away. He flicked his tongue at both breasts, earning a low moan from Salina.

"Where baby? What do you need? Talk to me".

Braxton leaned down and kissed Salina, tugging at her lower lips.

"Tell me what you want, baby".

"You.... You... I want you, Brax".

Braxton trailed his down from Salina's neck to her n****e and down to her quivering stomach.

"Where?"

Salina rolled her eyes and groaned in exasperation as she felt a growing sense of urgency. She knew she needed to get to the finish line first, but her small legs were starting to feel the effects of her sprinting.

She glanced at Braxton, a wry smile on his face, and took a deep breath. With all her strength, she reached out for his hands and placed them firmly on her hips, trying to ground herself. Braxton let out a chuckle, and she could tell he was enjoying her frustration. Still, he steadied her, and she let out a sigh of relief.
