Chapter 43.

Rhett's hold around me tightened as I answered. My words were quiet, but powerful. He reached up to brush my hair from my neck and my head fell instinctively to he side as he kissed just beneath my ear, sending shivers down my spine as my entire body tingled. He trailed kisses lightly down my neck before stopping at the mark his wolf had given me. "Will you accept my mark Lili?" His breath was hot against my skin as he spoke. "Will you be my mate and my Luna?"

I nodded as my breath increased in speed, becoming shallow. He pulled away and his fingers reached up to tug my chin to look up at him. "I want to hear you say it."

I looked into his eyes as they swirled darker, his jaw clenching in restraint as his eyes bored into mine. It was as if time around us was standing completely still.

"Yes." My words came out solid and sure, shattering the charged silence surrounding us.

Within a moment, he had scooped me up and walked me over to stand in front of the bed, stopping as the back of my knees bumped against it. He leaned down, his lips meeting mine. The kiss was passionate and consuming and I could feel the heat rolling off of him as my own began to radiate throughout my entire body. My hands snaked around his neck to pull him closer down to me, pressing my body against his as his own wrapped tightly around my waist, his hands gripping into my hips. He didn't wait for permission this time as his tongue plunged into my mouth. I gasped slightly as our tongues tangled, my fingers reaching up to tangle into his dark hair.

He picked me up in one movement, my legs wrapping around his waist as he guided us down onto the bed, his mouth never releasing mine. I could feel his muscles rippling beneath my touch as his hands began to roam my body, raking up my hips and waist before trailing up my rib cage. He touched it gently, wary of my lingering bruises before palming my breasts. I felt him harden against me, his erection pressing against my body and my hips instinctively began to rock against his. He let out a low growl, the kiss turning hungry as he ground his hips back against mine.

Heat began to pool at my core as he released my mouth, trailing his lips down my jaw and neck, massaging his tongue against my skin as he nipped and sucked the sensitive flesh beneath. My hands drug down his back as a breathy moan escaped my lips.

He pulled back slightly to remove his flannel shirt and pull the T-shirt over his head, revealing his powerful strong chest and chiseled abs. He reached for the hem of my shirt, his fingers brushing lightly against my skin as he began to push it over my waist, pulling it over my head. My eyes fell to the v disappearing into his waistband and my hands dropped to remove them as he followed, removing my own.

He dropped the clothes to the floor before wedging himself between my legs and leaning down to claim my mouth once more, this time tender and deep. He pulled away only long enough to drop our last remaining clothing with the rest and slide his own underwear off with them.

I fought to keep my jaw shut as his erection sprang out, standing proud and large as he leaned forward to hover his strong body over mine. His eyes raked down my figure, as if memorizing every inch. I fought the reflex to cover myself as my own eyes took in the handsome man above me. He was stunning, like he'd been cut from stone. Not a flaw in sight.

"You're so beautiful." He said, his voice husky and low.

I felt a blush creep up my cheeks as his hand brushed against them, causing my heart to beat faster. His steel blue eyes captured mind, possessing them and not allowing them free. I felt exposed, like he could see into my very soul.

He leaned down to kiss me, breathing in my scent as he pushed his hips between my thighs. Just the feel of his manhood pressed against my hip had heat pooling at my core and my hands began to rake up his back, my nails lightly dragging up his skin. He growled lowly against my lips and the kiss began to turn hungrier, his lips claiming mine as his tongue plundered my mouth.
