Chapter 22

**Marilyn**

"You okay Lyn?" Daniel asked on the way home from visiting his mother.
"Fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked curiously.
"My mom is a little..." he paused trying to think of the right word.
"Over protective? High spirited?" I said finishing for him.
"Yeah," he said awkwardly.
"It's okay. I understand. She loves you and she has every right to question me," I told him truthfully.
"You handled yourself pretty well in there under the circumstances. It really meant a lot to me. I know it was hard for you."
I felt a burst of pride at his words. It made me feel like he understood how I felt. I liked his mom but I would have been lying if I said I wasn't embarrassed. She made me feel guilty and a little ashamed. But I was able to push those feelings to the side and stand up for myself. I was just glad that counted for something.
"Thanks. It was hard but I finally learned to stop wanting to bash my head against a wall every time someone mentions Ryland. We got through it and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks."
He gave my hand a reassuring squeeze and I could feel the sparks when we touched. It was like the more time we spent together the stronger they got. I was starting to feel like it would literally kill me if we were apart. I wondered if he felt it too. I wanted to ask him why he hadn't marked me but I didn't want to seem pushy or make him feel like he had to. Often times people hear about females being forcibly marked. They never take into account the pressure put on the males by females to make such a commitment. There were some she wolves out there who would do anything and I mean anything to get a male of Daniel's status to mark them. It's sad to say some of them succeed before the male is able to find his true mate. I'm just lucky I met him when I did before something like that happened.
It was dark when we got back so we ordered some take out and spent the rest of the night cuddled up. It was nice having him near me even though part of me wanted more, so much more. I wanted him to loose control like that night in the club before we got interrupted. I wanted him to possess my body in every way possible. It was like torture not having his hands all over my body when he was lying there shirtless in all his glory. I really needed to find a way to control my thoughts because lately it seemed like they were heading further and further south. Every time I saw him he looked even more delicious than before and it was getting difficult to fight my urges. What was wrong with me?
We ended up falling asleep and lucky I didn't jump him. When morning came I woke up to an empty bed. I was disappointed thinking he had left to take care of some pack business or go to some meeting when I noticed the shower was running.
The next thing I knew I couldn't breathe. My breath caught in my throat and it felt like I was about to have a heart attack. He was beyond sexy, gorgeous, flawless and any other word I could think of. He had on nothing but a towel around his waist and I just wanted to jump him and make him mark and mate me. His eyes snapped to me and I knew he could smell my arousal. I didn't care. I was ready for whatever happened next.
It was like everything was in slow motion as he walked over to me.
"Lyn. Baby what are you trying to do to me?"
He said climbing on the bed and hovering over me, his hands on either side of my head. My legs automatically wrapped around him and he inhaled my scent. He groaned before he started to kiss and suck all over my neck. I moaned when he found my soft spot and I felt him smirk.
He crashed his lips to mine and let his hands roam. I had never felt like this in my life. It was like I was on fire. Like someone had lit a flame inside me and he was the only one that could put it out.
"You smell so sweet. I think your heat is about to start," he said placing open mouth kisses on my chest. I wasn't quite sure when he removed my shirt and I didn't sleep in a bra. I was exposed except for my panties which I was praying would be next.
He started sucking on my left breast as he played with the other, squeezing and fondling it. It felt amazing and I couldn't think of one good reason why we hadn't done this sooner.
"I want you," he whispered huskily in my ear. I could feel is large erection poking through his towel. He really wanted me.
"I'm yours," I told him meaning every word. I wanted him just as bad if not worse. I was wetter than I had ever been and we hadn't even gotten very far.
He let his teeth scrap across the sweet spot on my neck and I shivered. He wanted to mark me and I wanted him to.
"Daniel please."
"Please what baby?" he said teasing the skin pulling it lightly with his teeth. He was teasing me and it was like torture. He started grinding into me I couldn't take it anymore.
"Mark me," I said breathless. That's all it took for him him to sank his teeth into my neck. I cried out from the pain and pleasure of it all. I felt like I was flying as he licked the wound clean. I felt him rip my panties and I held my breath as he kissed from my neck to my breast down to my waist and then lower.
"You have no idea how long I have wanted to taste you," he said before licking my soaked core.
"Ohhh Danielll," I screamed as he devoured my sex. Swirling his tongue around and around as I grinded my hips into his face trying to get closer. I ran my fingers threw his hair as he groaned. He spread my legs wider and sucked. Never had I felt anything so amazing.
He stuck a finger inside me and I gasped.
"Fuck I didn't know you were this tight," he said before he continued eating me like I was his favorite meal.
"Ahhhh," I cried feeling the biggest climax I had ever felt coming on.
"Cum," he commanded and I did. All over his face and fingers put he didn't seem to mind. I laid there panting like I had just run a marathon. He went into the bathroom to clean his face and brush his teeth I suppose. But I was confused. Why didn't he go all the way?
He went into the closet and got dressed. I couldn't help myself. I had to know. Was it me?
"Ummm Daniel?" I asked nervously wrapping the sheets around me.
"Yes love," he said smiling.
"I was just wondering. Why didn't you... you know, finish the job?"
"You mean why I didn't mate you? Make you scream my name even louder as I pounded into you? Fuck you so hard you wouldn't be able to walk straight? Make love to you until you forgot your own name? Dive so deep inside you that you would feel every inch of me until you passed out from the pleasure?" I felt myself get wet again as he licked his lips. His eyes never left mine as I nodded my head eagerly. I didn't trust myself to speak. I knew I would only stutter.
"The only reason you are right side up right now is because we have to leave for West Wood Territory soon. But believe me, I will more than make up for it," he said in a husky voice running a finger across my mark. I shivered at his touch since I couldn't control my body's reaction to him. I had forgotten we were leaving today. It slipped my mind after meeting his mother and everything.
"Now get that sexy ass of yours in the shower before I have to tell Rick he has to go without his Gamma," he said smacking my behind making me squeal. I went to take my shower glad that everything was fine between us. Hopefully the trip to West Wood would go smoothly.
