Chapter 39: Marked

-Nova-

We quickly met up with the others and I told them everything I knew, even my own story, and what had happened the night I had run into Rhys. When we were finally allowed to sleep, it was damn dark outside and in the middle of the night. I was not sure if I was going to go sleep in a jail cell, but then Rhys had taken my hand and led me out of the office, when he climbed the stairs instead of going down, I understood I was going with him back to the bedroom, but I was not sure why. When we came inside, I was not sure what to do with myself. I just stopped in the middle of the room, but then I heard the door close and Rhys locking it. I turned around scared and saw him watching me like a predator would watch prey.

“I hope everything you told us today was true,” he said.

“It is all true,” I said.

“Hmm … we will see.”

He started to circle me, and I felt nervous when he did that.

“I should probably do my own interrogation,” he said.

“Your own?”

His hand came around my throat, and he pulled me closer, pressing me up against his body.

“That’s right. I know how to make you truly vulnerable, and then you will tell me every one of your secrets,” he said.

“I … I don’t have any more secrets,” I told him.

“Don’t you?”

I shook my head.

“We will see. Strip.”

“W-What?” I asked.

He took a step back and then crossed his arms, while a small smug smile spread on his lips.

“Do I need to repeat myself? Strip.”

“Rhys, you can’t be serious,” I said.

“Maybe you weren’t honest then.”

I looked at him confused but then decided to play along. It seemed like my mate really wanted me vulnerable, and not just figuratively. He wanted me completely bared, then so be it. I stripped off all of my clothes, and I saw his eyes glow for a short moment. Oh, he really wanted me. He might be angry, even resenting me a little, but he wanted me. His eyes ran everywhere, taking in every little inch.

“Bent over the bed.”

He was serious?!

When he didn’t say he wasn’t, I walked closer to the bed, and did as he told me. My ass was high up in the air. Shit, it felt like all the air had disappeared, and my heart was hammering inside my chest. It took so long, but then finally I felt him behind me. His fingers grazed my ass and then his hand came down hard on it, making me bite my lip, so I wouldn’t let out any sounds. He did it again and again, and then I couldn’t keep the whimper in.

“*Rhys *…” I begged quietly.

“You have really been very disobedient,” he said and spanked my ass again.

It stung like crazy! It was nothing like the last time. This time it truly was a punishment, and I knew I deserved it after everything I did. Of course, he didn’t actually aim to hurt me. Like truly hurt me. He made my ass sting, yes, but he was not out to make me scream in pain. He just made sure I remembered this moment, as his hand continued to collide with my ass cheeks over and over until my backside was burning and I was telling him how sorry I was and begging him to stop.

“Now,” he finally said, when he stopped spanking me.

We were both breathing heavily, and their air felt thick as the tension rose. He ran a hand into my hair and pulled on it, so I had to bend backwards. It didn’t really hurt, but it certainly left me very vulnerable.

“Did you speak the truth earlier today?” he asked.

“I told you! Everything I said was true!” I said.

“Even when you said you loved me?” he asked.

I felt my heart beating faster, and I knew I had never said truer words.

“Yes,” I whispered.

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why do you love me?” he leaned down and whispered in my ear before he ran his warm lips down to my marking spot.

“Because …”

“Because? That is not an answer,” he said darkly.

“Because you make me feel better than anyone has ever made me feel. You make me happy, and when I thought I could be nothing more than a rogue you showed me that was not true,” I told him.

“So, it is all about what I make you feel?” he asked.

“No, you are much kinder than I ever thought pack members could be. You are strong too. Brave, and when you love someone, you sure do make it clear to them. Our parents might have had problems with each other, but I don’t want us to have any. I want us to be together,” I told him.

“For the rest of your lives?” he asked.

I nodded.

“Good. That was all I needed to hear,” he said and then let go of my hair.

I was very confused about why he suddenly backed off, but then, without warning, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and I screamed. First in pain, then in pleasure. Rhys was marking me as his, and he had done it rather roughly, but it soon turned into the most blinding pleasure I had ever felt, and I came hard, pushing back against him, and needing him inside of me, and he clearly understood what I needed, because in no time he had freed his hard cock and was spearing inside of me, making it burn so good that I was coming again, as he fucked me harder and harder.

It felt like I could barely take it as he asserted his dominance over me. I knew why he was doing it. After betraying him and running off with my brother, he needed to feel in control. He needed to feel like he could truly trust me again, and that I would never betray him again. I never would though. I let him have me however he wanted me, and he made me feel so good. I came again, burying my face in the bed, as I screamed into it, and then finally Rhys released me from his tight grip. He pulled out of me and then placed me on my knees in front of him before he made me take him into my mouth and suck him off, but it wasn’t long before he grabbed tightly onto my hair and started to fuck my mouth, and then he was coming down my throat. I swallowed it all and then pulled back and looked up at him. There was something very calm over him now, and when he picked me up and placed me on the bed, he did it so gently. He leaned over me and licked the wound on my shoulder, helping it close, before he got rid of his clothes and joined me in the bed.

“You don’t want me to mark you?” I asked as we were lying down.

“Only if you want to,” he said, and brushed my hair away from my new mark.

I smiled and pushed up while pushing him down. He smiled as he saw me crawl up his body and straddle him.

“I want to,” I said.

He pushed up, so he was sitting and I smiled as I took in all of him, just enjoying the powerful mate I had been given.

“I love you,” I told him.

“Then show me.”

My smile grew and then I pushed his head a little to the side before I felt my canines grow longer. I sank them into his shoulder, but much gentler than he had done to me. I felt his powerful blood fill my mouth and I drank it greedily, as I felt our bond click into place, and now I could feel his pleasure as my own. I pushed up a little, and Rhys pushed away the blanket, and when I sank down again, I felt his cock slide inside me, stretching me again, and then he was coming inside of me, unable to hold back since I was marking him. It felt damn powerful, but it was far from enough. As soon as he was done and I had let go of him, he turned us around and started to fuck me, the bed banging against the wall, and he reached out, grabbing the headboard, while I clung to him and our lips found each other.

We were one now, and there was no one who could pull us apart.
