A Chosen Daughter

Chapter 31*E

With a glare and a stiff nod Alpha Stephens backs away a couple of steps before turning to leave the garden. "Sorry about him" Chris mutters to Leah.
"Where's blondie gone?" Daniel asks again
Leah sighs looking at him briefly "Marie has gone to scout ahead for me, confirm the intel"
"Us" Chris states. Leah looks at him confused "You said for me but you meant for us! ... Right?" He clarifies
"Ah! No! I meant as I said ... she scouts ahead for me" Matt, Arron and Michael chuckle as if she's told an amusing joke while Chris and Daniel scowl. "Right .. so really how many of us are going?" Michael ventures
"We volunteer ourselves" Arron adds while Matt and Michael nod. Leah smiles tightly. She hated this part! It was such a waste of time! But she would admit, part of her did enjoy putting the men in their places too.

"You seem to be hard of hearing! I go alone!" Growls meet her statement as protests are thrown into the mix.
"You can't be serious?!" Chris demands
"Oh but I am! It's standard procedure now, one or two of my sisters scout out the area confirm my intel, I go in solo to handle the situation!"
"Like Hell you are!!" Chris, Matt and Arron growl simultaneously. Leah raises a brow at them "Look your wasting time! You are not coming with! There are checkpoints you can man if you must do something" with that her claws spring out and she slices the pad of her thumb open. "I'll show one of you them" Leah states as beads of blood come to surface. Chris is immediately in front of her, slicing his thumb and joining the weeping cuts together. He folds both his hands securely around hers holding her hand captured between both of his. Leah blinks with surprise at him before she narrows her eyes slightly. Chris smiles at her.

"This will be the main checkpoint" Leah sends him an image of the area, he nods
"I know that part"
"These are the back up checkpoints, best to have someone at these just in case. I don't anticipate any difficulties but it's best to have plans in place." Chris nods again, before letting his eyes wonder across her face, smiling slightly. "It's best to have warriors that are medically trained at the back ups and some of the actual medical team at the main checkpoint. The rest would be best preparing the hospital wing if you have one"
"We do!" He assures her. Leah try's to tug her hand free, but Chris keeps a firm grip. "That's all the checkpoints for you" he nods
"Not going to share the rest of your intel?"
"No need to!" Leah smiles sweetly as Chris narrows his eyes in response to her words "They're my pack members!"
"And I will return them safely don't you worry!"
He scoffs "Oh but I will! Not only do I have members of my pack in a dangerous situation, my mate is arguing to enter it solo!"
"It's not anything I haven't done many times before!!" Leah replies heatedly.

Chris opens his mouth to argue, but stops when she try's to tug her hand free again. Instead he raises her hand to his mouth, moves his thumb to the side as he slowly drags his tongue against the pad of her thumb.
Lick.
His tongue works to clean and heal her cut. Lick.
Sparks shoot across her skin.
Lick.
Tingles run up her arms and down her spine.
Lick.
She can feel the caress of his tongue all over her nerves.

Leah shivers and fights her mounting libido. Successfully she masks her scent, hides the visible signs, although her breaths are quicker. Shallower. Desperately she fights not to close her eyes or release the moan sitting in her throat, as her pleasure climbs higher and higher. Chris closes his eyes in bliss. While Leah is successful in hiding her arousal to his pack, he can feel it ping down the mate bond to arouse him In return. Which of course was jolting back along the bond to Leah doubling her pleasure. That was how it worked after all; Mates feel each other's Lust and Pleasure, bouncing it back and forth, doubling, tripling, again and again, until both reach a mind blowing climax. Oh how lovely it worked Chris thought, as he ceased licking her thumb clean and places a small chaste kiss on the newly healed pad instead.

Leah sucks in a breath as Chris looks deeply into her eyes and simply smiles at her.
