Knocking On Heaven's Door Part One

Alessio POV

Sexual arousal and summer rain; a heady concoction that I chased on the breeze, closer to the cabin, closer to her. A hushed moan, a slow purr; her little throat made the most delicious sounds, even when I was not the one to pleasure her. Short shorts and a low-cut tank top; the only protection of her bare skin on my own, that could so easily be ripped away from her. Silken skin and smooth curves; her body fit so right with mine that it was wrong, how much it made me want her. Strawberry kisses and dancing tongue; the only taste that came close to that kiss was the sweet nectar that came from her.

"Luna!" My voice was a loud growl that ripped through my chest as I clutched her to me, lips hungry for hers. As I buried my tongue in her mouth, I angrily waved away my family as they ran towards us, eyeing the door that I had just sent to the ground in splinters beneath my combat boot. "My Luna!"

"My Alessio..." Her own voice was a mixture between harsh pant and hurried whisper, as if she didn't say my name quick enough someone would rip the sound from her throat. Her eyes gazed into mine as she folded herself into my arms, chest rising and falling in time with my own. Her fingers weaved into my hair to keep me in place above her as our tongues fought for dominance; my Mate was a Luna twice over, it was about time she started fighting for what she wanted!

"Oh, so you want me to fight for what I want, do you?" Her delicate brow hit the ceiling as she batted her lashes up at me, sucking in a breath through red, parted lips. "In that case..." she trailed off in a sing-song voice with a growing smirk, "you need to go turn the electricity back on..." Her voice carried a note of finality as she waved her hand between us dismissively, even while her eyes sparkled playfully. "Please, Alex?!? I, um, I'm kinda scared of the dark..."

Cocking my head sideways, I ran my hands slowly up her bare arms and cupped both of her cheeks, eyes gazing into hers as we breathed the same sexually charged air between us. "Luna, there is nothing in this world to be afraid of, I swear; I will protect you. I love you, little one..." Slowly dragging my lips across hers, I breathed a heavy sigh and ran a hand through my hair. "I will be right back."

"Miss you already..." Pressing her lips briefly to mine once more, she flashed a smile before playfully shoving me over and out of the front door and into the night. Goddess, I missed her already...

~000~

The cabin was still dark, even after I'd just spent the past minute away from my Mate to fix the electricity; the lights flickered back to life as I touched the switch, though, so perhaps my little Mate was not so scared of the dark as she thought. Speaking of my Mate...

Walking into the small living room, my eyes searched the darkness for my Mate, but found her to be missing; where the hell was she?!? Her scent of roses, leather, and pure sex trailed through the living room and into the connecting hallway that led to the bedroom. Stumbling in my tracks, I glanced in the floor and froze, as an immediate smirk tugged at my lips; there, in a trail that led to the bedroom, lay my Mate's clothes. My little Mate definitely had something up her sleeve...

Grabbing a candlestick from the holder that was connected to the wall, I swung the light around the room once more, just to be certain my Mate was indeed where I thought she was; a candlestick attached to the wall has only ever been seen in movies, true, but I thought that it would be pretty damn romantic, especially that the sole purpose of this cabin was for Mates to get away while the female was in Heat. I just never thought that one idea of romance for others would be my downfall...

Following the trail of her scent and clothes, I find the bedroom with ease; I knew where it was in the first place, obviously, but when you're hunting your Mate as intently as I was- with every sense that I could possibly use, and my Wolf even still wanting to take over- your mind isn't really in it. Coming up short as I found the door closed, I blew out a breath; I knew exactly where my Mate was, and I knew exactly what she wanted- what we both wanted...

We had already begun a pretty dangerous game of hard-to-get, and it had led us here, to the bedroom. I only hoped we were both ready to play the rest of the game as hard as we had in the beginning...

If I knew nothing else, I knew that I loved her with all of my heart and soul, that my every breath was for her; I would easily give my life for her, without a second thought, and be proud to do it. She was my Mate, and I hers, and everything that had thrown us together was by Fate, but it was all so much more than that; even if we were not predestined to be together, to love each other, I would have still found her, and fallen in love with her. Fate or no Fate, destiny or no destiny, she was mine, and I was hers; that's way it was always supposed to be, that's the way it will always be.

Here goes... I'm knocking on Heaven's door.
