Chapter 15

“Sasha.” He kissed her neck again as he took her hands in his and pressed them against the wall. “How did you know it was me?”
“You’re the only one that sets my body on fire,” she blurted.
He kissed her neck just behind her ear. “I can tell you why you react this way to me if you want.”
“Tell me.”
“We are what are called mates.” He ran his hand down her arm. Fireworks exploded inside of her at his touch. “It is a bond that is untouchable by anything else. It is a pull that is very rarely fought. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to fight it. I want you by my side and I want you to be mine. It’s the same thing your sister feels for my gamma. It makes everyone else not worth our time and nobody will ever compare to that of our mates.”
“Aiden, we can’t be mates.”
He stiffened behind her. “Why is that?”
“Because.. Because I am human.”
“So? We have been given the all clear to be together.”
“I will never be accepted by your clan.”
“They don’t have a choice.”
“I-”
“You are grasping at straws, Sasha. I want you and there is nothing that will stop me from pursuing you. I don’t just want you. I need you. With you by my side, our clan will be stronger. We will be stronger. With us together, nobody will be able to stand in our way.”
“Aiden.. What if I don’t want you?”
He fell silent, behind her. He leaned in closer to her and sniffed her neck. “You smell like you want me.”
“What if I don’t want to be with you?”
“What are you saying?”
“That we shouldn’t be together.”
His hands moved down her arms again to grasp her wrists. “Don’t move.”
He ran his hands over her sides, skimming her breasts. Her heart sped up and her arousal skyrocketed under his touch. His hands moved under shirt to glide over her skin, teasing her even more. She whimpered and he froze.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“No.” Her eyes closed. “I want you to touch me.”
His fingers stroked her stomach again, before sliding south towards her waistband. He played with the button on her pants. She groaned and pressed her hips forward into his hand.
“Aiden, please.”
He kissed her neck again. “What do you want, Sasha?,” he growled.
“You! Please,” she begged.
He pulled his hand away. “I think I should leave.”
He began to back away.
“Aiden, please. Don’t leave me.” She felt him stop moving and she released her held breath. “Please.”
He backed away more. “I refuse to let you use me solely for sexual gratification.”
“Aiden.. Please, we can’t be together.”
He moved back towards her until he was almost touching her. His hands went to the wall beside her head as he leaned down to her ear.
“You have yet to give me a valid reason.”
“Because I am human.”
“That is irrelevant and you already said that.”
“We don’t know each other.”
“We can change that.”
“Aiden-”
He forced her to turn around and tilted her chin up. “Sasha, if you even think about being with someone else, I will kill every single man or woman who thinks they have a chance with you.”
She swallowed hard. “Aiden, please. I’m burning up.”
“Say it.”
“Say what?”
He rubbed his body against hers, igniting even more flames on her skin. “You know what I want to hear.”
“I don’t.”
He let her go and took a step back. “I’ll see you at dinner, Sasha.”
“Aiden, stop. I.. I want you.”
He eyed her over his shoulder. “How?”
“I want you physically and I want to get to know you, but I’m scared.”
“Of what?”
She shook her head. He touched her cheek, his eyes softening.
“Of what?,” he asked again, quieter.
“Scared I will fall for you.”
“Good. You can catch up to me.”
“Aiden, please. Try to understand that-”
“You are so perfect, Sasha,” he murmured, cutting her off.
She gripped his wrist. “I’m just me.”
“Just you is better than most people on their best day.”
She looked up at him. “Aiden, please, touch me.”
“Tell me why I should.”
She sighed. “I need to know if it will be the same.”
“The same as what?”
“If your touch in reality is just as exhilarating as in my dreams. So far it has been better,” she confided nervously.
He stared at her. “In your dreams?”
She blushed and lowered her head. “The man from my recurring dream… is you. I told Lani about it and described how you looked and smelled.. That’s how she recognized you at the selection ceremony.”
He watched her as he tried to process what she was saying. “How is that possible?”
“I don’t know. The Goddess gave them to me. I don’t ask her why. I just accept them.”
He cursed under his breath before turning her back around to face the wall. He put her hands back beside her head. His hands roamed over her body and her knees wobbled. His touch left her and she groaned.
“Aiden… please.”
“Wait.”
Her heart pounded as she did as he requested. What was he doing? Was he going to leave her? She didn’t think she could survive it if he walked away from her right at this moment. Her body was entirely too eager for his touch. His hands moved around her waist again and seconds later the chastity belt sagged in her pants. She jumped when he took the lock off fully. He stuck his hands into her pants to fumble with the metal. He slid his hand into it and she cried out when the fire between her legs sprang into a fuel induced rager. He kissed her neck again as his fingers stroked over her clit, before running over her lips. She helplessly rocked her hips to his hand. Her head dropped back against his shoulder and she cried out. He kissed her neck again, placing little bites along her skin.
“Shh, we have to be quiet, baby. We're in the library and we can not be found breaking the rules.”
He used two fingers to spread her folds, before driving one deep into her. She screamed out as her knees folded in on themselves. His other arm went around her waist to hold her up. He pressed her torso back against the wall as he added another finger. Her juices ran down his hand and she felt his hard on pressed against her back.
“Aiden,” she panted. “Take me.”
He gripped her throat and tilted her head back to kiss her lips. “I will not take you until you are committed to being our queen.”
“Aiden-”
His fingers curled up inside of her pussy and her hips bucked. The arm around her waist shifted so that his hand pressed down onto her stomach. The pressure increased inside of her and she mewled. Her pussy started tightening and she started moving around more. He growled, sinking his teeth into her shoulder to hold her in place. She cried out as his teeth pierced her skin.
“That’s it. Cum for me, my queen.”
“Aiden.”
“Louder!”
He forced her flat against the wall as his fingers moved faster and his thumb made little circles on her clit. His hand pressed down on her stomach again. Her body coiled tighter and she came undone around his fingers. Her muscles clenched around his fingers before releasing briefly, only to cling to him again.
“AIDEN!”
She sagged against the wall, panting hard. He slowly removed his hand from her belt, before redoing it around her waist. His hand wound around her throat, gently squeezing.
“You are mine. Only mine! Test my patience and all of their deaths will be on your shoulders. I gave you an out once. That is all you are getting. Mikhail will not let you go and I will be damned if I let you go either.”
She swallowed hard and a moment later he was gone. She slid down the wall onto the floor while her legs continued to tremble. The way he touched her was the same as in her dream, but the feelings he created inside of her were a thousand times more pleasurable. If she had trusted the Goddess with everything else in her life, would it be so wrong to accept him as her mate, if that was truly what they were? It made sense. Only he had the ability to make her feel this way.
“Fuck,” she muttered. “I might have to really marry that man.”
