Love by the Mystic Sea

Chapter Seventeen ♛

A/N: Sorry for the late update and I promise that I will keep up with regular updates! Happy reading~

I look down at Carita's lovely heart shaped face. Her emerald eyes seemed to shine as she looked into my eyes. A delicious red flush covered her cheeks, neck, and the tips of her ears. I wonder if that blush more of her mouthwatering light golden skin. I look at her and wonder how my little dove will react to what I am going to tell her about the chain of fate.

"The chain of fate will not break until both of us are lost in the upmost passion, further binding us together even more" I said.

My voice was deep and a hint of lust can be detected in my voice.

Since I laid eyes on her I have fantasized what she would look like in the heat of passion as I make love to her. However, now is not the time for me to fully make her mine, since she is exhausted from today's events. Also, my little dove deserves to be taken fully once she has had the opportunity to get to know me more, but she is still tempting beyond words.

Her emerald eyes widen while looking into my piercing blue eyes with specks of jade. Her small body is pressed against mine, melting against my body like a second skin. Her free hand clings to my emerald shirt to support herself, as shivers softly against me. My arms are wrapped security around her waist to keep her shaking body from falling.

"If we are meant to...Um..Be bonded to the fullest extent, how do we trick the chain of fate?" She stuttered softly as she spoke.

Carita seems very shy and innocent. I wish she will always keep that with her, but also gain confidence when we are together. Before I met Carita and found out that she was my mate, I reasreached possible methods to remove the chains of fate.

I could not bring myself to be at such an intimate level with a woman I did not know, and at the time that I thought was my false mate. I sought information from various books and journals left behind by scholars and my ancestors. It was there that I gained some insight that there was a possibility to mislead the chains of fate, which binds mates together during and after the mating ceremony.

I know that the temple's Priest has a vast knowledge of the chain of fate, but this was not a topic I could ask him about, since it is in the interest of the Emerald Isle that I produce an heir. Now that I have met Carita, and know that she is my true mate, I cannot help but want to get lost in the upmost passion with her. I cannot do that at the moment, but that does not mean I do not find her desirable. It is quite the opposite, her body and her reactions to my touch, to my voice, call out to me. I have had to will myself to calm own, so I would not ravish her on several occasions since we met.

" It should work if we surround our bodies in heat. Our bath is through those double doors," I answer.

I move my head toward the large wooden double doors. Carita remained silent for a moment as she released her strong hold from my shirt. She moved her hand to sooth the wrinkle lines her tight grip left on my skirt.

"Will we have to completely undress?" she asks. Her voice is soft. Her eyes focus on my shirt-covered chest, while a light flush covers her cheeks.

"No, we can remain in our underwear. I want you to feel comfortable enough to be naked in front of me, and to see me naked" I answer.

I know that I will require all of the control and patience I process to keep my promise to her. I meant what I said about wanting her to feel comfortable around me. If that means that I have to wait than so be it. I know that it will be worth the wait.

"Ok. I think I can manage that" she said softly.

I chuckled softly at her response and lead her to our private bath. After we stepped through the doors, I watched her emerald eyes take in the large and impressive bath. Once she took in her surroundings a happy sequel escaped her soft pink lips.
