Mated & Blooded

Chapter 7

(Lucas's POV)

It had been hard to catch Kalli even for my wolf. She was fast. Vampire fast! She struggled when I first reached her and she really didn't want to come back with me but I eventually convinced her. We'd spent the next couple hours in silence going through the movements of making and eating something. I was really glad that I had stocked the fridge just the day before. It had been my intention on spending the weekend at the house working on the second floor. So far, the only room upstairs that was semi-finished was the master bedroom since I had to have somewhere to sleep when I stayed here.

Thinking about the master bedroom made my cheeks heat and I found myself looking over at Kalli who was drying the last of our dinner plates. She was so damn beautiful. Everything about her was sexy as hell even those pointy little vampire ears she had. Our sleeping arrangements were sure to cause her to have another fit.

Kalli just couldn't seem to wrap herself around the fact that nothing and no one could make me not want her. She was convinced that I was going to reject her. She couldn't be more wrong. She was my other half. Without her in my life I am and would be nothing. Life would not be worth living without my mate.

Even as a young pup, I dreamed of my mate. I knew she would be special and different than other shewolves. I knew she would be made just for me. My life was going to be defined not by how strong of an alpha I was, but by how great I was as a mate and father. I wanted nothing more than to spend my days and nights with my mate and pups.

That was something my father and I could never agree on. My father had never found his true mate. At thirty, he feared he would never find his true mate and started to bed all the unmated shewolves in our pack and the surrounding packs. He'd managed to get several of them with pups. I was the first male born, so he wed my mother and laid claim to me as his heir. My mother was much younger than him, and when her true mate found her, my father had him killed to prevent her from running away with him. My mother hasn't spoken to my father since. My childhood was full of hatred and anger.

I would not have that for my pups. My mom would lie in bed with me when I was small and tell me stories of how a mated pair was meant to be. How, I would know and feel about my mate. Most importantly she told me of the pain I would live with, day and night for the rest of my life, if I didn't have my mate. I didn't want to live like that. I wanted the peace and serenity my mother promised my mate would bring me.

Kalli, brushed into me as she was putting the last plate away in the cabinet. It looked like she wanted to move away from me, so I reached out and grabbed her hand. She paused for a half second then relaxed and gripped my hand back. Progress I thought. She was at least accepting my touch. Now, to get her beyond that and accepting me. I cleared my throat and spoke as I led her back into the living room.

"Relax Kalli, let's go sit in the living room and just get to know each other a little better. No pressure Kalli, just you, me and a little normal conversation. What do you say?"

She nodded at me, and sat on the couch. I saw her shiver and realized it was a little chilly. I looked around and saw fresh wood still in the corner, so I decided I would start a fire in the fireplace. That would keep my mate warm, and besides I heard women think that fires can be romantic.

I knelt down in front of the fire place and started putting some kindle in the bottom. I could feel Kalli watching me from behind as I stacked wood in the fireplace. Her eyes seemed to be raking over my entire body. I heard her breath hitch and I smelled her sudden desire. My wolf and my body reacted immediately. I liked that my mate found me attractive. My wolf loved it. I knew now however wasn't the time to take advantage of my mate's attraction to us so I continued to build the fire and ignore the smell of her desire.

I got the fire started and put a larger log on top of the now burning kindle before standing up. I adjusted myself in my pants while my back was still turned to her and gave myself a pep talk on taking it slow. I stood there with my back to her for a good two to three minutes. When I finally turned, my mate was staring at me like she wanted to eat me alive. Her erotic scent of her desire slammed into me and it pushed me beyond caring about taking it slow. I was instantly at her side, my lips seeking hers.

She felt so damn good in my arms. I pulled her as close as humanly possible to me. Our bodies were touching from top to toe. My lips were devouring hers. I could feel her body heating with each stroke of my tongue against her lips. I increased the pressure of my tongue and forced her to open her mouth against mine. Once I gained access to her mouth, our tongues started a slow dance around each other.

I know my mate was enjoying our kissing as much as I, since she started to moan softly in the back of her throat. Her moans were all the encouragement I needed to feel her body. I started roaming my hands over her body. I took my time touching every part of her that was exposed. Her face, her neck, her upper arms, down her shirt finally resting them on her lush hips.

I pushed her shirt up just a bit, and found my hands moving over to caress her flat warm stomach. She must have liked the feeling of my hands on her stomach because she moaned louder and buried her hand in my hair. The noises she was making were driving me crazy. I had shivers moving down my spine. I was rock solid hard with need for her. I pushed her down against the couch so that I could press my whole body into hers. I was on top of her covering every square inch of her body. I started to press my lower half into hers. She continued to moan and started to grind herself against me. Oh god, it felt so good. She feels so good.

Cohesive thinking was leaving me. I hadn't intended to go this far. I wasn't going to be able to stop myself from completing the bond with my mate and marking her as mine. If we kept this up for even a moment longer, she wasn't going to have a choice. I wasn't going to be able to stop. I needed my mate completely. I needed to bury myself within her body and spread my seed within her womb. My wolf wanted to bite her and leave our mark on her body for the rest of the world to see. I needed Kalli to be all mine.

I found myself pulling at her clothes. I wanted her top and bra off. I wanted to get my lips on her breast. I wanted to see my mate naked before I completely mated with her. I heard her shirt tear and knew I had rid us of her top and bra. I pulled my lips from hers, and gazed down at her now naked chest. It was even better than I'd imagined. Kalli had beautiful pert breast that were made for sucking. I leaned down and took one nipple into my mouth. Kalli was making the most adorable noises. I teased, licked and nipped at her nipple. I blew my hot breath across it and saw it tighten. I moved to her other nipple and did the same.

I started reaching towards her pants with the intention of getting them out of our way as well. I had the button undone, and started to adjust us on the couch when the shrill sound of my cell hit me like a blast of cold water.
