Blood Legacy (Rewritten)

68. Nathan

His breath came out in harsh pants, his blood running faster through his veins and his muscles straining after that forceful reclaim of control from his wolf, his eyelids fluttering a few times as he found himself staring at the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his entire life.

"Carina..."

Her cheeks were flushed, those beautiful blue eyes misted with desire as she stared up at him. Her luscious lips were slightly parted as well, escaping laboured puffs of air as she laid there underneath him, stiff as a board.

His curious gaze trailed lower, taking notice of the way her ripped t-shirt hung loose to her sides, leaving her stomach bare and her bra-clad breasts exposed.

"Holy Goddess, are you okay?" He scooted back a little and sat up in an obvious attempt to give her some space, his own lips parting upon noticing that her panties were also missing, her glistening pussy barely covered by that tiny skirt.

Shit. He thickly swallowed, struggling not to inhale too much of that delicious scent of hers or look too much as he could already feel that hint of desire poking at him too, his dick already straining so painfully against the tight constraint of his jeans.

"Did he hurt you?" His jaw clenched, his worry for what his wolf must've done to her outweighing his want for her.

"No, I-"

"You shouldn't have done that. You have to be careful with him, you shouldn't be riling him up like that," He warned her, reminiscing the way she'd taunted him earlier in the living room, making him lose control over his wolf the very second she started running.
She'd played a very dangerous game.
He usually had very little trouble when it came to reasoning with his wolf regarding any other matters, but when it came down to his own mate, that was a whole different story.
His mate was the only being capable of making him force his way out like that.

"Why?" Her voice sounded so meek and breathless, watching her squirm a little from underneath him.

"He's basically an animal, Carina. He relies on instinct. If you let him have you, he's not gonna be as careful as I am. Or gentle. He could hurt you, Carina," His wolf was very brutal when it came to having sex. He'd let him have his fun a few times with other female wolves in the past and it didn't end well. He'd almost always hurt his partners during intercourse. He didn't want him to hurt her too. Not to mention that those females were way stronger than her anyway. He didn't even want to imagine what his wolf could do to her.

"He didn't hurt me. He just..." Her cheeks bloomed with more colour, momentarily looking away,
"...said that he wanted to play."

"Well, I can guarantee you wouldn't like his idea of play," He offered her a sympatethic smile.

She blew out a tired and annoyed breath, dragging a hand over her face.
"I swear, sometimes it's like I'm dating Dr. Jekyll and Hyde with you, dude,"

He let out a chuckle at the sound of her words, taking a moment to register exactly what she just said. She said that they were dating.
She was finally starting to indentify what was happening between them as a genuine relationship.

At least she's not rejecting the idea of being with us anymore.

He couldn't help but smile at that, staring down at the sight of his cute little mate with nothing but pure adoration glinting in his eyes.

She's finally starting to accept me. Us.

He outstretched his hand, waiting for her to place her palm in his. And the moment she did just that he pulled her up and closer against him, peering between those beautiful eyes before pressing a soft and tender kiss over her lips.

He could feel her hesitate at first, evidently confused and wondering what was going on, but all that melted away the moment he wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her tighter against him, hearing her soft sigh as she gave in to the kiss.

He smiled against her lips, offering her another sweet kiss before pulling back to simply look at her, one of his hands burying in those silky locks at the back of her head as he let his gaze roam over her face.

"Goddess...you're so fucking beautiful," He couldn't stop himself from saying it out loud, watching those cheeks bloom with colour again as she peered up at him with those round and big blue eyes of hers.

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes upon. I'm still having trouble trying to understand why the Goddess paired you with such a bastard like me but either way, I can't help but feel so fucking grateful for it. I thank the stars and the Moon every night for blessing me with the sexiest, most beautiful and perfect mate one could ever have,"

"I'm so happy that you're mine," He softly whispered against her lips, hearing her sigh again as he placed both hands over the sides of her neck. And after a shuddering breath he leaned over and pressed his lips over hers again, giving her a passionate and equally gentle kiss.
