Chapter 26

**Chase**


Something in me snapped.

It was adorable how shy and embarrassed Nova felt thinking of one of her mates while we were about to get hot and heavy. I didn't give a shit since she was getting even more turned on and I would have to get used to the idea at some point. I was sharing her with three other guys, so it wouldn't be unusual for her to think of them in that way.

She isn't used to having an intense sexual drive as I do, but she would catch on fast.

Then she stood and threatened to let Eli take over for me and I lost it. No way was I letting her out of this room before I finally got to have her. The small time we have spent together has been driving me crazy, especially after the few tastes of her I've had. I need this or I'll die of blue balls before the week is over. That is not a nice way to go. I would rather die with my beautiful mate riding me and being drunk on pure bliss.

Anyway, I digress.

Right now I need to get my girl's ass in my bed.

She's woken a beast and when I turn her to face me her eyes widen. No doubt all my pent-up desire is showing all over my face. I'm in physical pain at this point. I though the session we had before would hold me over since it was so intense but now I think it just made me hornier.

So before she can walk out the door I grab her wrist. Her whole body is still and she turns to look at me. Her eyes widen and I know it's because I probably look feral to her. I don't care. I need her and no way am I letting anyone touch her right now but me.

When I open my mouth my voice comes out almost possessed.

"No one gets to have you right now but me mate," I growl before I slam my lips against hers in a bruising kiss.

She whimpers but doesn't push me away. Instead, she fists her hands in my shirt and I feel a small shot of pain. She's nipped at me with her fangs and I swear the shot of pain shot right down to my dick. It only makes me more desperate for her.

I break the kiss long enough to pull the oversized shirt she's wearing over her head. She isn't wearing a bra which leaves her breasts wide open for me to drool over. They aren't big but are big enough for me to cup in my hands. Which is exactly what I do. She gasps and her eyes slide shut as she lets me touch her.

"Baby you have no idea what you're doing to me." I don't care that my voice cracks or that I sound desperate.

I would beg her on my knees to let me keep touching her if she asked me to.

"Chase...stop talking." She bites through clenched teeth.

"I'll just use my mouth for other things then."

Her mouth opens to say something but she said she didn't want me talking so that goes for her too. Besides, I rather hear something other than words come out of that pretty mouth. I lean forward and kiss her again. She melts into me and I let my hands explore all of her soft skin. In my exploration, though I feel something that has my mind snapping out of the lust cloud.

"What's this?" I brush my finger over the raised skin and she shivers.

"Oh. Some injuries don't heal even for a vampire." She glances down at the long scar that runs along her side and up to below her right breast.

"What did this?" I ask keeping my eyes fixed on the large imperfection.

It doesn't matter to me that she has scars but it fills me with murderous rage.

"It was one of the first experiments they did on us when we were young. They...cut us open and tried removing organs to see if they held the key to our...abilities." She cringes.

"They took your organs?" I can't hide the disgust in my words.

I mean what the fuck?

"Only ones we could live without. They didn't want to kill us straight away. So they took a kidney, parts of the liver, appendix...stuff like that." She shrugs like it's no big deal.

Like fuck it's not.

"A soon as we find those bastards I'm going to kill them a thousand times over for what they did to you."

My eyes are still fixed on the reminder of the pain she's endured when her hand cups my cheek. I lift my head to look at her.

"I'm okay Chase. I survived."

I nod because it's clear she doesn't want to focus on this anymore.

"If this bothers you we don't have to..." She waves a hand between us and I watch her face fall.

I grab her hand and move it to rest on my chest over my heart.

"Nothing could make me want you less. You are beautiful and powerful. A little scar won't stop me from wanting you in every way."

To drive that point home I kiss her again, but this time it's slow. I try to pour everything I'm feeling for her into that kiss because I mean every word I said. She is even more beautiful to me now knowing all she endured. Of course, I still want to torture the people who did that to her, but right now she needs to know it doesn't change anything.

When I pull back again she makes a disgruntled sound. "Chase please."

That does it.

"I got you, sweetheart." I wrap my arms around her waist and lift her off her feet.

I take a few steps over to the bed and lay her down with my arm still around her. There is no way I'll be letting her go now. She wiggles underneath me and I realize she's searching for the hem of my shirt. I pull back and slip it over my head as quickly as possible. Her eyes slide over my chest and the look is so intense it almost feels like she's touching me. That's what she does next. She reaches out and runs her fingers along my chest and stomach. My muscles tighten under the feather-light touch and I bite back a moan. Even that small touch has me going wild.

When her hand reaches my neck she tightens her grip around it and pulls me firmly back down for a kiss. I can tell she isn't using all her strength but it's enough to leave a small ache behind. Something I have to admit that I like. It wasn't often that I enjoyed pain with my pleasure. Most of my partners weren't into that and I wasn't going to force them.

Right now though I wouldn't mind a little pain. Pain that includes my mate feeding on me again. I just need to get her comfortable enough to want to feed. When I feel another sharp stab to my lip I smile. My girl was getting lost in pleasure and not holding back. To test how far she would go I pulled her bottom lip between my teeth and bit down. Her reaction was sudden and so fast that I didn't feel a thing until her fangs had latched on to me.

She had pulled away from our kiss and gone for my neck again. The flood of pleasure made my body go weak to the point that the only thing keeping me upright was her holding onto me.

"Shit sweetheart. This is torture." I can't stop the guttural sound that escapes my lips when she releases her fangs and licks along the wound.

"You shouldn't tempt an animal, Chase." Her voice sounds deep and velvety which only heightens the feelings she's worked up inside me.

Speaking of...

"I need to be inside you now...please." I am not above begging at this point.

"Then take me, mate." She whispers in that smooth voice and that's all the permission I need.

I lift myself on one arm and fumble with the sweatpants she's wearing. When I can't seem to get my fingers to work right she takes mercy on me and slides the offensive clothes off herself. She does me a favor and pushes my pants down as well. I kick them off and am glad she took my boxers with them. There isn't a stitch of clothes between us now and when I grind down onto her I groan so loudly I know the others could hear me. I think half the neighborhood heard me.

"Fuck..." I don't think I'll make it inside her.

No, I need to hold back. As if she senses my desperation she takes over and twists us around so I am on my back. This is another first for me. I was always the one in control but I am more than willing to let Nova have her way with me.

"Hold still Little Chase." Her eyes are blood red now and I suck in a breath when she lifts herself to her knees.

Our eyes stay locked on each other as she lines herself up. With one swift movement, she sinks her teeth into me again as she sinks down on me. I cry out at the dual sensation and come just like that.

Holy shit...
