Don't lose HOPE [COMPLETED]

Chapter 40

HOPE

Zeke stands in front of me in just his boxers with his hands on my waist and a big smile on his face. "You're happy," he says with so much love in his eyes. He nuzzles my neck and breathes in my scent. I wrap my arms around his neck and he lifts me up. We stand there holding each other for a while, projecting our love for each other.

"I'm really happy...and I'm really in love with you," I say after a while.

He gently places me on the bed and lays himself on top of me, holding himself up on his forearms. He kisses me softly, then nuzzles my neck again.

"I love you so much, Hope, and it makes me so happy that you are, and I can feel that you're so much stronger. I'm so proud of you."

A happy-tear slips my eye and we start kissing. It's slow and passionate, not hungry and desperate like it usually is since we're so needy for each other all the time.

Zeke stands up on his knees and slowly pulls my panties off. While he stands up and removes his boxers, I take off my bra. He lies down on top of me again and enters me slowly while we're kissing. I moan and he growls, but it's more like a guttural purr. He's moving slowly in and out of me while kissing me all over. He licks the first mark he gave, but he doesn't bite me this time. He doesn't have to, to make that euphoric feeling spread through my whole body while he's making love to me. I don't need that adrenaline rush it gave me, because I already feel enough strength and happiness to last for a lifetime. His eyes are glowing beautifully red and his big, strong body oozes dominance and protectiveness, and I know that he will always keep me safe.

He thrusts in harder and keeps himself fully inside of me for a while before slowly moving out again, and then repeats the same motion. The feeling is so intense that my orgasm comes harder than ever before. I scream out his name and he growls loudly and shoots his warm cum into me. I'm sweaty and panting, but I've never felt to content. Zeke nuzzles my neck again and licks my mark, making me shiver.

Zeke slowly pulls out, making me whimper. He goes into the bathroom and starts filling the tub, then comes and lifts me up in his arms. He sits us down in the big tub and my muscles instantly relaxe from the warm water. I lean my back on his chest and he takes the loofa and cleans my whole body so gently. I fall asleep like that and wake up in bed the next morning, lying on his chest with his arms wrapped around me, as usual. I sigh content and he growls and hugs me tighter when he feels me waking up. I chuckle at his possessiveness, but I love it. I love him.

We've been back at school for a few weeks now, and there's only a month until graduation. I'm not shy anymore, but I still don't interact with the other students if I don't have to. We keep to our group, Chris, Evelyn, Ryan, Ben, Zeke and I. Ryan met his mate a week ago. She's in our pack and she's really sweet. He's been a little more on edge since he's in this school during the days and she goes to school in the pack village. They don't see each other as much as they want, and I feel for them. Richard said that it would be suspicious if he transferred school again and that it's better for them to endure the last four weeks. Ryan has been relieved from pack-duty during those weeks so they can spend as much time together as possible when they're not in school. It's important for the mate-bond the first few weeks even if he's already marked her.

Zeke has been extra possessive over me for some reason. As soon as a guy comes near me, even if he just walks past me, Zeke pulls me to his chest and growls quietly. I don't think they can hear it, but his look is more than enough to scare them away and make them take detours.

When we eat dinner this evening, Kate looks at me a little strangely, then seems to mind-link Richard.

"Zeke, Hope, Dr. Alana has talked to the elders about the several markings and want you to come to the hospital after dinner," Richard says. "It's nothing to worry about, she just wants to do a quick check-up again to see that nothing has changed. We will come with you since we want to know what she's found out."
