The princess of the realm

chapter two: the bond

~Hunter~
Now that I was close to her, I could clearly see almost all of Asta's features, from her soft pink lips to the brown ring around her pupils, giving the green a more natural look rather than being bright emerald, and the small sputter of freckles on her nose and cheeks.
"What do you mean mating bond?", she said in a stern voice.
"A mating bond is where-"
"I know what a mating bond is I'm not an idiot, what I mean is what dose the mating bond have to do with you finding me?", she snapped inturupting me.
"The reason I found you", I began "is because of the mating scent", I said clearly.
Her face paled.
"Are we mates, is that the reason I could smell home yet it was sweet and had a citrus smell?", she said almost to quietly for me to hear.
She was a complete stranger and yet I knew her, she was so familiar like I had met her before but the only thing i could say to her was,
"Yes"

~Asta~
Hunter sat there with an almost sad expression on his face and I realized that I had met him before once apon a time in another life a life when I wanted to follow in my mother's footsteps and become queen of Faalein the city that lit up after dark and became a beautiful place of colours and art in the day.
The sad expression on his face made my heart ache and a small part of my soul snapped into place, like a puzzle finally coming together, like half of me had just been found and two simple words started to dance in my mind.
'My mate'
I made myself look into his beautiful sky blue eyes and started to go over each of his features, from his tan skin and black hair to his face that showed years of hurt and loss. I decided at that moment that I would accept the bond even if I barely knew him I would because deep in my soul I needed someone to walk a path with me back to happiness and I knew that he did too.
"I accept the bond", I whispered so low a human wouldn't be able to hear.
His eyes widened and his expression became soft and loving.
"I do too", he said back to me with a grin forming on his face.
I realised then that I was still only wearing a towel and heat instantly rushed between my thighs and I knew that he could smell it.
He straitened and walked around the bench and stood right in front of me his grinn widened and a primal part of me wanted him to kiss me all over and not stop.
I stared at his eyes and saw the unspoken question there as if he needed to be told that I was his.
"You are mine", I whispered
Whatever tether he'd had on himself quickly vanished and in one quick movement he picked me up and windowed us to what I could only assume was his bedroom. He placed me on my bed and his soft lips met mine. Our kiss was wild and untamed and I knew exactly what he would do if he got between my legs. He broke off the kiss and was fully undressed in a heartbeat. Now only my towel was between us and I quickly tore it off. Now Hunter was kneeling between my legs yet he didn't move he just knelt there as if he had all off the time in the world to look at me, but I needed him, to feel him inside of me.
"You are mine", I said to him.
One move had him deep inside of me and I gasped. He smiled and pulled back ever so slowly.
"Say it again", he whispered and I knew what he meant.
"You are mine"
He bent over and kissed me at the same time pushing back into me.
I moaned and that had him pulling back and back in again but still so slowly.
I couldn't handly it I needed him and he was enjoying making me want him. So I moved too quickly for him to realise and instantly I was on top of him, his gorgeous wings pinned underneath.
His grin was so wide and at the same time shocked but I had already started to move ever so slowly. He moaned and I bent over and kissed him as if I could swallow the sound. I started to move faster and yelled his named as release barreled through me. That was his undoing and he spilled into me.
"I love you", I whispered as I lay down beside him.
Sleep consumed me shortly afterward and I dreamt of a grassy plain and Hunter as if there was no care in the world.
