Rebel : The Unwilling Mate

8. Luna

That night I soaked in the tub for a good hour with the jets on, working up the courage to tell Russell I wanted to make love with him. I felt so inexperienced and so young. I was confident in so many other aspects of life but the idea of s*x made me endlessly nervous. I heard him enter the adjacent bedroom and tried to build my confidence.

"Russell," I called.

I heard his footsteps nearing the door.

"Can we talk?" I asked, knowing he could hear me.

"I suppose," he said, opening the door.

He sat in the nice arm chair positioned next to the tub. I covered myself with the bubbles and leaned on the side of the bath.

"You must know this is incredibly difficult for me," Russell crossed his arms.

"I've changed my mind," I said.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Being candid," I started, "I was going to try to leave here. I've been a rogue my whole life. This life is luxurious and polite and I just don't know if it's cut out for me, but I want to mate with you too. I know my wolf loves yours and... I know I'm in love with you."

"You can't leave me," there was a small growl in his words, his eyes dark.

"Come here," I reached out my arms and he knelt beside the bathtub. I placed my hands on the sides of his face, bags had formed under his eyes. I felt his jawline with my thumbs, he watched my eyes looking at him. His skin in contact with mine made me feel electric and I felt adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I pulled him in and smashed his lips against mine, pulling on the collar of his shirt. He broke our kiss for a moment and pulled his shirt off. As I slipped my tongue into his mouth I reached down to unbuckle his belt.

"What are you doing?" He said against my lips.

"Come in with me," I said, unbuttoning his jeans. He stood and took off his pants and boxers. I swallowed hard as he stepped into the tub with me.

"I don't wanna do this if you're not ready," he said lowly.

"I'm ready," I said firmly.

I sat with my back to him as he washed my hair with gentle hands. I felt happy under his touch. He rubbed my shoulders and kissed my neck. I leaned back into his arms.

"This is nice," he said, brushing my cheek with his thumb.

"Agreed," I said. He picked me up from the tub and stood me up. He then grabbed a towel and started to dry us off. All the while staring at my body while I stared at his.

He pressed me against him and softly kissed me, his lips slightly wet from the bath water. Picking me up, we continued kissing as he carried me to the bed. I didn't feel nervous at all when he laid on top of me, kissing the mark on my neck gently. His body felt right on mine, as if he belonged there.

"Ready?" He whispered against my ear, sending chills down my spine.

"Give it to me," I whispered back. He picked me up by the waist and threw me further onto the bed. His canines were sharp and his eyes dark as he climbed over me.

Russell grabbed my wrists and held them over my head as he sucked my neck. I gasped as I fought his control over my arms. I wanted to touch him so badly.

"Patience," he said. I relaxed underneath him as he made love to me... Not once, but three times before we were finally satisfied.

(To keep this book PG-13, I will be leaving out the sexual details. However, if you'd like me to put the full details in, I will add them to a separate book containing only the intimate chapters from this book. Leave a comment if you're interested).

The next morning came too quickly. I woke up wrapped in Russell's arms for the first time. They were tightly wrapped around my naked waist. As I breathed in and out, his scent filled my nose, making me at ease. 

I felt his heartbeat against my shoulder blades.
