Chapter 45

(**Irina’s POV**)
*Mature Content*

As I straddle Sebastion, all the things that have kept me from doing this seem trivial. Vicktor will know something went wrong the moment he finds Zasha missing from where ever it is he has her. With the location of where he has this half of his collection now, it is only a matter of time until we free them. That will alert him instantly. That is all for tomorrow. Tonight, is for my mate and I.

Seeing his eyes go from his beautiful brown to pure onyx the second I tell him to mark me, lets me know Aries is one hundred percent on board with the idea. Feeling Sebastion’s erection pressing against my core lets me know he is too. When his eyes return to their normal color, I am surprised by the hesitation in their depths.

“Why the change of mind?” His voice is strained and husky as hell.

“More like a change of heart. I realize that waiting until we get Zasha back is silly now. The moment we free her and the others, he will know. What is the point of holding ourselves back from something we both really want? It will bring us closer together. Which, from the dance we have been doing, is something we need. I want to be complete, Sebastion. Mark me, make me yours in every way possible, then tomorrow we let Aries and Anya have their fun.”

With a growl, Sebastion reverses our positions, so I am pinned under him. “Once I do this, there is no going back.”

“Mark me, Sebastion.” I tilt my head to the side to give him my neck.

“Oh, I will, but I want to be buried deep inside you when I do. I want you to cum for me the second I sink my teeth into your flesh.”

His deep husky voice has a shiver running up my spine. Sparks erupt on my skin as he undoes the top button of my silk top. His lips kissing the exposed flesh as it is revealed. Then another button and another kiss until one by one he has my shirt fully open to expose my breasts to his hungry eyes. I was expecting rough, but his gentle caresses has my core dripping for him.

“I love the smell of your arousal.” He kisses a trail from my chest to the edge of my pants. His eyes flicking up at me as he inhales my scent.

I lift my hips when he hooks his finger into the waistband of my pants. Wasting no time, he pulls them down off my legs, then tosses them away. My shirt soon follows, leaving me naked for his eyes to devour. The way his eyes keep flashing to onyx sends a shiver of delight through me. Part of me wants this moment to just be between me and Sebastion. While the other part of me really wants to play with Aries again.

“I can sense what you want, little mate.” Aries growls at me through Sebastion. “We can play later.” With that said, he receded back into Sebastion’s mind.

On a growl, Sebastion lowers his briefs enough to have his erection springing free, then he plunges deep inside me. There is the rough I was expecting. Just the way I want him. Primal and not holding back. He pins both my arms above my head with one hand and uses the other to lift my leg over his hip. With brutally hard thrusts, he rams himself in and out of my body.

The knowledge that he has the power to be rough with me makes my desire for him go higher. I may look like a porcelain doll, but I am far from fragile. Raking my nails down his back, I arch my back and meet him thrust for thrust with my hips. The coppery smell of blood lets me know I spilt the skin of his back with my nails. This doesn’t slow him at all it causes him to be rougher.

Sebastion lets go of my hands, folds my legs up high until I am rolled into a ball, then he continues his delicious pounding on my core. I moan his name as I feel my orgasm building. “Sebastion, please.”

“Please what? What do you want me to do?”

“Make me yours, now!” I arch my back up off the bed and give him my neck.

“Not yet, I want you to cum for me first. I want to feel you pussy milking my cock as I mark you.”

Oh, fuck me! Where did my sweet Sebastion go? Who is this sex god pounding into me? Whoever he is, I love it. On a strangled cry, my entire body trembles as my orgasm rolls over me. Pain immediately mixes with the pleasure as he sinks his teeth into my neck. He continues to thrust into me, but slower, gentler now.

My eyes widen as the bond between us flares to life. His feelings and thoughts flow into me and leaves me in awe. Every single thing he has ever said to me has been true. He loves me for who I am and will do anything in his power to make me happy. One truth that rocks me to my soul is that I am the only woman in his heart.

I wrap my arms around him tight as he removes his teeth and licks the mark clean of blood. When he gives me his neck in return, there is no hesitation at all. I latch onto his neck and plunge my teeth deep, making my mark on him, staking my claim on my mate at last. His thrusts falter, then with a feral growl he slams into me one last time as he finds his release.

The bond between us breaks wide open as my mark is made. We are one. He can now hear and feel everything I do. From the moan he lets out, I can feel that he wasn’t prepared for what he found. His hands leave my legs, allowing me to open for him to rest on my chest after I seal his mark with my tongue. His arms come around me and hold me close.

The twitching of his cock makes me realize we are still joined, and he is far from finished with me. I let out a moan as he withdraws from my body. A pout forming on my lips when he sits up, pulling me up with him.

“As much as I want to continue this, we should go to the clearing and let Aries and Anya complete their part of the bond. They deserve this for us being stupid and making them wait so long.”

“They can wait just a little longer,” I moan as he runs his hands down to my ass.

A yelp follows as he slaps my ass. “We will have time for more tonight. If you behave now, I may let Aries come out to play like you want.”

Oh, what a sneaky man. “Will you get mad at me if you do?”

“No, I have to admit that I am a tad curious and what this will be like. Having my wolf control my body while he fucks you. I am not sure I will like it and I can’t promise not to be jealous, but I will try it for you.”

“How about we try that another night? Tonight, is for us.”

“Then you better put clothes on before I take you again.”

Stretching my body and pressing my breasts against his chest, I run my hand down to stroke his throbbing erection. “That isn’t a bad thing. Take me again, Sebastion.”

**I want my mate too, Irina.** Anya growls at me. I can feel her beating at the walls of my mind.

With a groan, I climb off the bed, grab his black t-shirt off the floor and slip in on. “Fine, let’s go. My wolf is furious with me right now. She wants her mate too and is determined to get him.”

“They feel the bond is complete and want to mark each other too. Though it won’t do anything to the bond. Let’s go.” Sebastion stands up, pulling his briefs up over his still rock-hard erection. Then he grabs his pants off the floor and slips them on. A chuckle leaving his lips as he zips them up. “Don’t pout, my love, I will take them off again soon.”

As long as our wolves don’t take the rest of the night to do their thing, I will be happy. I want to spend more time making love to my mate before the sun comes up. Tomorrow we start the war on Treadstone, so tonight I want to savor every moment we have together.

(**Sebastion’s POV**)
*Hours later*

Laying in my bed after we showered off the blood from our wolves' little adventure, I smile at the feelings coming from my mate. She is happy and sated, for now. We made love in the shower as we cleaned ourselves, neither of us could resist the pull of the bond. The water sliding over her skin made my palms itch to touch her.

Now we lay exhausted in my bed. She is wrapped around me with her head on my chest. Her mind is blank as she slips into sleep. Closing my eyes, I allow sleep to claim me. I am more relaxed than I have been in longer than I can remember. A sense of peace settles over me as darkness blankets my mind.

I am not sure what woke me, but my eyes snap open a few minutes later. A tiny figure is standing at the foot of my bed, holding a stuffed wolf in his hands. Moving the blanket aside, I motion for him to climb into the bed with us. We are both dressed in our nightclothes. He doesn’t hesitate and rushes to the side of the bed to climb up to me.

“Did you have a nightmare?” I whisper as he snuggles into my side.

The feeling of my mate on one side and my son on the other fills me with a profound happiness.

“Yes. I made a mess in my bed.”

He hasn’t wet the bed in weeks now. I thought it was past us. Oh, my sweet boy, I am sorry for my sins. I pull him tight to me and stroke his hair. “That is alright, Jace, we can clean it tomorrow. You are safe in here with me.”

“When will you bring the little girl here?”

“Zasha?”

“Yeah, you said I would have a sister soon.”

I feel Irina lift her head off my chest as she reaches a hand out to stroke his little cheek. To my surprise, he let her and snuggled into her touch.

“Would you like to have a sister?” She asks him quietly.

“I have never had a sister, just Callie, my cousin. I think I would like to have a sister or a brother. Maybe both.” His eyes look up at us with a serious expression.

“Why don’t we work on bringing your sister here, then maybe one day we will talk about giving you a brother.” Her voice is so soothing and the truth in her words makes my heart beat faster.

*Do you really want that? To have a child with me?*

*I really do. I can already picture what a child of ours will look like.*

*They better have your eyes.*

She chuckles as she scoots away from me to make room between us. “Jace, crawl over your daddy and come lay by me. We don’t want you rolling out of bed.”

With a giggle, Jace does as she asks, then he demands a story. I can see a new night time battle emerge from tonight. Keeping him in his own bed will be a challenge from here on. Irina has won him over completely. I can see the love for her shining in his pale brown eyes. Looking over at her as she tells him a story, I can see the same for him in her eyes.

Irina will be the mother he has always wanted and deserved. That she loves him already proves it. I can hardly wait to make our family complete by bringing Zasha home. I know there will be a period of adjustment for all of us, but I think having Jace and Calista here will help her. There will also need to be some one-on-one time for just Irina and her daughter.

Too long have they spent apart. They will need to get to know each other again. From what my mother tells me, a child knows their mother, that bond can never be broken. I hope for both Irina and Zasha’s sake that is true.

I stroke Irina’s hair as I feel her sadness. Jace has fallen asleep between us and her eyes roam his face as she watches him sleep.

*Tomorrow night. You will have her back tomorrow night, my love.*

*You can’t promise that, Sebastion. We don’t know what he has left for me to find at the house. Hysin said to be wary.*

*We will have four vampires, and three werewolves with us. Whatever he has for us, we will deal with.*

*Who is coming with us tomorrow?*

*Flint, Justin, and Gabriel, my head of security. I mind-linked them all while you were getting dressed for bed. My friend Monroe is also coming, but he will be there to help at the office to get them all free. He has offered to give all we find sanctuary until Rayne and Parker can find places for them.*

*You have been busy. Thank you for everything you are doing.*

*You never have to thank me for this. I do it because I love you.*

Her face lights up and I feel her joy through the bond. I lean in and kiss her forehead. Soon exhaustion takes her as sleep pulls her down. I spend some time watching my sleeping family. Images of her round with my child make me smile as I watch her sleep. When should I tell her that twins are very strong in my family?

Arianna and I are just one set of twins in the Drakos family. My father has a twin brother and a set of twin sisters. Maybe we will continue that tradition. I am getting ahead of myself, I know, but this is the first time in so long that I have let myself dream of the future. A future that holds my mate, her daughter, and my son.

With those thoughts in my head, I finally let sleep claim me. Tomorrow will be full of challenges. Only the Moon Goddess knows what is in store for us.
