More Than Human

Chapter 75

Daniel's hands hovered over my shoulders then down my arms to eventually take hold of my hands. I was shaking, not afraid of him but afraid of the past. Knowing he could feel what I felt I mumbled "I'm sorry."
I was surprised when he bent his head low to my ear and whispered "if you're not ready we can stop." That brought tears to my eyes as Harry's voice echoed in my head. Cupping my face Daniel frowned "don't let him hurt you anymore. If you are not ready then I don't want to. It matters to me that this is a moment you cherish not fear." I turned away so my back was to him my heart felt like it would burst from my chest. "Amy..."
"I'm ready I'm just afraid of the pain..." turning back to him I added "like last time." My hand had drifted up to my neck, where the scar still remained.
Daniel took my hand and placed it on his chest "if at any point you want to stop just say." Nodding I let him lead me to the side of the bed. It was obvious the growing need between the two of us, I could barely hold back. Carefully he lay me down on my back, climbing onto the bed he straddled over me so his head was in line with my chest and my heart. "The moment it's too much tell me," he growled low attempting to contain himself. Knowing I was ready he unbuttoned my shirt to expose my chest but still covering my breasts. Bending his head low he left soft kisses trailing along my collarbone to my beating heart. With one last look to reassure me he drove his teeth into the skin. This time the burning heat was warmth, strength flowing from him to me. I wasn't afraid and I wasn't in pain. His tongue lapped round the teeth marks as I grinned tipping my head back. With instinct guiding us both he slipped and arm round my waist pulling me up, arching my back. Trailing kisses up my collarbone to my shoulder and up my neck as he pulled me into his lap. I wrapped my legs round him, the bulge in his trousers was unmistakable. I gripped onto his shoulders as he stood up out of the bed. He pressed me against the wall as he tugged at his trousers and I pulled his shirt off. Once out of his own clothes including his boxers he helped me out of my clothes and soon we were bare.
Laying me back on the bed he raised my legs as we locked lips kissing feverishly. Just as he was about to go for it a lightening bolt of pure fear made me push him away. My eyes felt hot, blurred. I thought o could see Harry's face grinning, blood dripping as I heard myself scream and mutter "please no." Daniel slipped his arms round me and grabbed a pillow making me hug it. He then tucked me in front of him with his legs round me. I soon calmed down burying my face in the pillow. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry" I had felt ready. Why did that happen?
"It's okay, you've got to feel comfortable." His voice was soothing "we will work through this but hey," he placed his hand over his mark on me, "you are my beautiful mate." He kissed the top of my head and I leaned back into him closing my eyes. This was where I belonged, this was safe.
