The Chef's Sick Mate (Book 17 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 14

Linc spent Gina's work days thinking over the entire situation and contemplating what he wanted to do. Did he want his fated? Or did he want to keep his relationship with Gina?

He knew he'd been playing with fire when he'd gotten into a relationship with her. He wasn't getting any younger and at some point, he would come across the woman he was fated to. He'd heard from the others how touching another woman was completely repulsive and he knew once he set eyes on his mate, his feelings for Gina would be severed. And Lincoln wasn't sure if he wanted that.

This mate of his, she was the woman he was fated to be with. His other half. The woman he was destined to be with. He'd been waiting for quite some time for her, and now it seemed she would finally be entering his life. But he had his reservations. What if she didn't care for the way he liked sex? What if they weren't compatible?

It was laughable really for him to think such a thing. They would be compatible. She was his other half. They would be more compatible than he could ever hope to be with Gina. Falling in love with her would be simple, and she would be perfect for him.

She was beautiful. He was well aware of that. She'd visited him every night in his dreams. Every night she wore that pale blue dress that matched her gorgeous eyes. The male in him knew she had perfect tits, and a perfect ass. The dress wrapped around her like a lovers caress, but Linc longed to strip it off of her and see what she had hidden underneath. He wanted her desperately, but there was never any sex in his mate dreams, and that annoyed him to no end.

He'd woken up every morning hard as a rock, and annoyed that there was no one there for him to fuck. He ended up jacking off, and more often than not, his thoughts drifted to his mate instead of the woman he had fucked just a few days ago. Which made no sense to him at all. He knew what it was like to be deep inside Gina. He'd never even seen his mate naked.

Maybe her shouldn't want her like that when he was dating another woman, but he couldn't help himself. There was something about her that called to him, even in his dreams. She was his. Period. He shook his head at how possessive he was feeling over a woman he didn't even know. Already.

And then there was Gina. The woman he already knew intimately. The woman who loved it rough and loved for him to dominate her. The woman who had introduced him to the type of sex she liked and had made him realize he liked it too.

Ever since that first night with her after meeting her at the bar, he hadn't been able to stay away. She'd wanted it rough that night, wanted him to spank her ass, much harder than he'd expected. He'd turned her ass red, and turned her completely on more than she already had been. It has started with him making her cum in the bar. Linc knew that had aroused her a lot, and it had just gone from there. The sight of her on her hands and knees, her ass red from a spanking, aroused him just as much as it did her.

Throughout the following week, it was all he thought about. His need for that same pussy again. For sex with her again. For him to make her cum again. And again. Gina. He ended up back in the same bar exactly one week later and sure enough, there she was, waiting for him. He'd been seated in the back with her, talking over drinks, and he'd ended up fingering her right there, bringing her to a silent orgasm with his mouth sealed over hers again. He loved making her cum. 

They'd left the bar shortly after that, and headed over to the same hotel. He'd stopped the elevator they were taking up to their room, and commanded her to get on her knees so she could suck his dick.

She'd been shocked; that had been obvious. But then she'd smiled and did as he asked, dropping to her knees and pulling out his cock before pulling it into her mouth. Linc had groaned in sheer ecstasy. He hadn't had a blow job in quite a while and Gina was damn good at them. It took no time before he was close to cumming and he'd pulled her up to her feet, tucking his dick back in his jeans before he started the elevator back up.

They'd gotten off the elevator a few moments later, much to the annoyance of the other guests. Linc had just glared at them, his dick still hard from the tease. She'd be finishing him off in the hotel room.

After that night, and more great kinky sex, he'd exchanged numbers with her and started dating her. The sex was amazing, and Linc enjoyed doing what he could to push her limits. He'd gotten blow jobs in public, and brought her to orgasm more times than he could count.

Linc enjoyed taking her out on dates. They would both dress up and he'd take her out to fancy restaurants or wherever else. He'd make her wear a vibrator that he could control with his phone, or he'd make her wear nipples clamps or bands. He'd keep her on edge, driving her crazy with need, then bring her home and fuck her hard.

But aside from the sex, he just really enjoyed her company. Gina was just plain down fun to hang out with. She spent all of her days off with him, and if he was off, he sometimes went to her apartment and spent the night.

Thinking back over the last five years, he realized how much he'd enjoyed being with her. He could see himself spending the rest of his life with her. He cared very deeply for her, probably loved her, though he'd never been willing to admit that out loud. It was something he'd always thought to only say to his mate.

He went through all of the pros and cons of each woman, weighing them in his mind, and debating who he wanted. Who he was choosing to tie himself to for forever.

By the end of her work week, Linc had made up his mind. He'd take Gina as his Chosen Mate. He was pretty sure she'd be thrilled with that. She'd occasionally mentioned them being more than what they were. He knew she wanted to get engaged, married and have children. If she still wanted that after he explained what he was to her, he'd give it to her. He'd marry her, something he never thought he'd actually do, but if that was what she needed, then he'd comply.

But first, he needed to tell her everything. Everything. She had no idea that he was a werewolf. That was going to be a shock. But hopefully she would accept him and agree to be with him. To commit her life to him. Then they could figure out their job and living situation.

He'd like to move back into the pack house permanently. He missed being with his pack more than he thought he would. He wasn't sure how she would feel about that though, but he supposed they'd figure it out.

His wolf wasn't super crazy about giving up his fated, but he did like Gina. He'd mark her if it came down to it. He'd assured Linc that he would, though he wasn't overly thrilled with this decision. 'Not sure it's the right one. We're not fated to be with her."

'But you like her.'

'I do, but still not Mate.'

'But she will be once we mark her,' Linc argued.

'Okay,' Maddox agreed reluctantly.

Now, he had to convince Gina herself. She was going to be late tonight, which annoyed Linc, but he'd deal with it. He was looked forward to being buried inside her sweet pussy. Four days was much to long to go without. Especially when he planned to take her as his mate.

He'd planned a romantic evening, making one of her favorite meals. The table was already set, candles lit, and he had the sex already planned out in his mind. The bed was ready and waiting and if everything went exactly the way he wanted it to, they'd eat, talk, she'd agree to be his, and then they'd fuck well into the night. That was the plan. Hopefully it happened exactly like that.

Gine finally arrived back at his house and walked inside, her bag slung over her shoulder. Linc was in the kitchen, finishing up the meal he'd spent the last hour preparing for them. Gina walked in, and wrapped her arms around him from behind. And that's when he smelled it. His heart dropped.
