The Rise of Venus

Mates

Song: Love Making Music by Mash Music and Beats

"Are you sure about this?" Leo asked. "We don't have to if you don't want to."

I cupped his blushing cheeks, smiling down at who I believed to be the most beautiful man in the entire world. My blessing, my love, my Mate.

I desired him more than the sunflower yearned for the morning star's warm embrace.

Was I sure about this?

What a silly question.

Between his hard on, my arousal, and our bodies screaming for us to become one I was certain I was sure about this. This wasn't about the stars, the rules, the Oracle, or the prophecies. This was about him and I only.

My heart was ready to fall all the way in love now because I knew he'd be there to catch me.

"I'm sure." Capturing his lips once more, I resumed our gentle dance of heart fluttering twists and turns. The heat within both our bodies demanded we rip each other's clothes off and claim every inch of skin that we could. The throbbing within trembled. It was an insatiable need that could only be satisfied by pure carnal pleasure. But somehow, through the power of our animal instincts, we managed to keep things slow. We managed to keep our wits about us and I was insanely happy because of that.

Fucking could come later.

Right now, I wanted to make love to my Mate.

"Wait a minute." Leo pulled away from our kiss with a pained expression. His blood red eyes practically shouted how hard he was fighting his inner beast. I felt a sense of pride wash over me at his show of restraint. With gentle hands he traced the curves of my breasts before pressing a gentle kiss over my heart. "Turn around, Blue Eyes."

Leo opened his legs wider as I settled between him comfortably. With my back facing him I held my breath as Leo's fingers rested at the edge of my long shirt. "Can I?"

I closed my eyes to keep the welling tears in and nodded. The room was eerily silent as my shirt fell to the floor in a crumpled heap. My long hair was swept to the side to clear the way for Leo to gaze upon my hideous back. The quiet panting's of our labored breathing were the only things to be heard as my bra came undone.

Before I could even begin to degrade myself Leo began to pepper soft kisses over my many scars. Each jagged line of cut lashings, each bump of raised skin felt the tender sting of Leo's kisses. With each brushing of his petal lips Leo lavished my insecurity with his unwavering love.

His warm chest pressed against my back and he held me in a quiet silence. Warmth pulsed between our naked bodies and the rising inferno spread faster. I leaned into his safe embrace and didn't bother hiding the tears that fell.

Leo rubbed circles over my stomach, making the fire jump to his feather-like touches. His heated lips pressed against my Mark making me jolt at the flash of arousal seeping into my thin panties.

"I know you're not ready to talk about it now," he mumbled into my neck. "But when you are, I'm here for you."

Leo trailed kisses up and down my exposed neck, sucking and nibbling until I was beyond sensitive. He couldn't give me a simple touch on my neck without it feeling like temptation itself.

"You're so beautiful." His large hands pulled back as he kneaded my stiff back. The building heat from his massage had me melting under his ministrations in no time. The attention he showered upon me sent my heat skyrocketing. I had to rub my thighs together to dull the growing ache between my legs.
