Twisted Fate

Chapter 37

Astrid

For a moment, I paused wide-eyed, staring up at him while his lips moved fiercely against mine. The same man who demanded I'd be the one to reject him was now hovering over me and kissing me as if he'd been starved of my affection for eternity. The same man who swore the council would have our heads if they found out we're mates. I couldn't believe Arlo was kissing me after so long. But I was more shocked at the internal war it created inside of me.

I spent most of my time trying to avoid the mate bond at all costs. And up until now, I was doing a pretty damn good job. We'd been keeping our promise to stay friends and stick together through this chaotic time. But he ruined it for us. He ruined me for good. 

How am I supposed to forget how good this feels between us?

Instead of overthinking it, I closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around his neck, and let go for the moment. It felt so good to be kissing my mate after so much time had passed. I didn't realize how much my wolf missed him, this side of him- loving and affectionate. Then again, Arlo was always this way.

Arlo sucked on my bottom lip, and without hesitation, I opened my mouth for him. Our tongues fought wildly, expressing the feelings that were growing stronger and stronger each day we spent together. I dropped my aching hands to feel him. The sparks danced on my fingertips as they explored the warmth of his bare chest, tracing the outlines of his tattoos. And then my hands found their way to his dark curly hair, running my fingers freely through. Something I'd been dying to do since the beginning.

He soon pulled back and buried his face in the crook of my neck. By now, my legs were wobbly, and my panties became wet with my arousal. Arlo licked, nipped, and sucked at the most sensitive spot on my neck. My wolf began flashing images of him sinking his canines in that spot, claiming me as his forever.

We were already pretty close, but it wasn't enough for me. I desperately needed to be as close to him as possible. I united our lips again and wrapped my legs around his waist. The thought of him pounding into me drove me wild. It didn't help that he was only wearing bottoms, and I could feel his bulge digging into my stomach. At the feel of him, I moaned inside his mouth and bucked my hips up, desperate to feel some friction.

"Arlo," I moaned as the tortured teasing continued. He growled lowly at the sound of his name rolling off my lips in an erotic rhythm. He looked down at me with his demonic red eyes, mentally undressing me.

"I want you," His voice was deep and guttural. I knew his demon-wolf had complete control over him. It would be so easy for him to lose control if I pushed his buttons. I wonder how far I could take this before he cracked completely. A mischievous smiled stretched my lips as I looked him deep in the eyes.

"How bad do you want me?" I whispered against his lips, reaching down to the bulge in his shorts. He felt thick and lengthy, promising to rip my virginity apart. Never in my life had I done something so bold. It was like his demon-wolf brought out this different side of me. Lust and desire clouded my vision.

I was so turned on; I could feel the warm wetness dripping down my folds. My feminine scent spread throughout the bedroom, tempting his self-control. His nostrils flared before he sat back on the bed and brought me with him. I straddled his hips, rocking myself slowly.

"Don't start something you can't finish, mate," His demon-wolf warned me. Was that a challenge?

"Start what?" I asked innocently. I pecked him on the lips and slowly left a trail of kisses down his neck. Arlo made a deep sound at the back of his throat in satisfaction and gripped my hips. I could feel his claws slightly digging into my skin, turning me on even more.
