The Goddess's Blessing

Chapter Five

I wasn't really paying attention to where my mate was taking us as my body was hyperaware of his and how his body was pressed against mine especially how his body moved and reacted to mine. Even though I'm not the one running or walking my breathing was coming up short almost like I was panting like I ran for twenty minutes straight without stopping to breathe. This is my first time experiencing the mate bond and it is pretty powerful and fast-working. It almost feels like my brain can no longer function on anything other than how much my body and I want this man. I noticed his jaw tick as he clenched his teeth and tried to focus on wherever he was taking us as he rushed forward trying to take us there as quickly as possible all the while refusing to look at me.

While looking up at him I eventually noticed that we were no longer outside, and we were in fact inside a building. The moment I noticed we were now in a building somewhere just a second after I realized that was the same moment he started taking us up the stairs. He tightened his hold on me pushing my body even closer to his to try and ensure I wouldn't be jostled around too much or to ensure that he wouldn't drop me while going upstairs.

I was gritting my teeth as I tried to fight the temptation of having my mate in my arms as my body was responding to hers but so was my wolf as he was practically howling for me to take her and claim her as mine. And it wasn't helping that I could feel her body respond to mine just like my body was to hers especially since I could smell her arousal. It is torturous as all I wanted to do was devour her and her soft, supple pink lips. I was taking the stairs to my office and was taking them two at a time but even that was worse as the moment I did that she tightened her grip around my neck. The moment she tightened her hold around my neck I caused her body to press closer to mine which just made my body react all over again.

I growled in frustration at this entire situation and the moment I growled I felt her body shiver against mine. It was a good thing right as that happened, I just reached the top of the steps because the moment she shivered I closed my eyes and groaned. God how I wish I could bang my head against the wall to try and get myself under control. I know my parents had told me stories about the mate bond and how special it is, but I never expected it to be this powerful or truly damning.

When he closed his eyes and groaned, I wanted to ask if he was alright but before I could ask, he opened his eyes again and started walking again. It was just a matter of seconds before we stood in front of a large oak door and the moment, we reached the door he then set me down. He then pulled a key out of his pocket to open the door with and the moment he opened the door he pushed it open the door and intended to go in. However, the moment he took a step inside the room I reached out and grabbed his wrist to ask him if he was alright but the moment, I touched his wrist he turned around and pinned me to the wall. He had both of his hands on the wall on either side of my head and he left some distance between our bodies, so they weren't touching one another.

When he spoke his voice was deep and husky as he spoke through clenched teeth "I wouldn't touch me right now or else I can't guarantee what will happen next." He looked so tormented as he tried to calm himself down all the while trying to keep his wolf at bay. I knew I should have listened to him, but I couldn't stop myself as I couldn't sit back and do nothing as he looked so tortured. I reached out my hand and cupped his cheek in my hand and he immediately leaned into my touch closing his eyes as he did so.

He groaned before opening his eyes and said, "You're not making any of this easy on me." I chuckled "Nothing worth having in life is easy." He looked at me with surprise and wonder shining through his eyes before leaning down and touching his forehead to mine "You are certainly full of surprises, my dear mate." I smiled at him "I'll take that as a compliment." He chuckled a bit and leaned back a bit "I'm sure you will."
