For the Love of Miranova

Chapter 18: Happy Birthday

Round two was slower and more sensual. Sam took his time bringing her to ecstacy over and over again. He made sure Kalysta felt just how much he loved and cared about her and her every need. His kisses and touches were gentle and hot against her soft, sensitive skin and he cherished every moan, whimper, and whisper that escaped her lips. The way her nails dug into the flesh on his back, shoulders, and ribcage, only excited him more. He made her climax until she couldn't take it anymore and then and only then did he allow himself to climax. He wanted to be sure that she would remember this day for the rest of her life just as he would.

Breathless and blissful, he watched over her as she lay snug on his chest. The alarm clock beside them told him it was just after 8am and he smiled to himself. For nearly 2 hours they'd been making love and they still had a day at the water park planned along with a night at the club. Yet as her breathing shallowed on his chest indicating she had fallen asleep, he regretted nothing. In fact, he would do it all over again in a heartbeat if it meant he could have her in his arms like he did now.

His careful fingers tenderly stroked back her hair from her sleeping face, down her shoulder, and across her back. An affectionate smile spread across his face when she stretched an arm across his abs and snuggled closer to him. He was mesmerized by how soft her skin felt under his touch and by how the corners of her mouth would quirk up in a small smile every time he would touch a sensitive spot of her flesh.

Someone is ticklish, he chuckled to himself.

On the table beside him his phone vibrated informing him that he had a text, and he slowly reached out for it, careful to not disturb his sleeping mate. It was from Nekolette.

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY LITTLE BRO!! 🎂🥳❤️ I'll be by soon to drop you off some clothes. Kolby wants to get you a present and some stuff for the water park so I told Mom I'd go with them. Love you guys and see you later! 💋💋

He quickly replied with his thanks and put the phone back on the table before wrapping his arms around his woman and drifting off to sleep.

When he woke just a few hours later, she was no longer asleep on his chest and for a brief second, he panicked.

Kaly...

He heard her gasp and drop something from what sounded like the bathroom in front of him, and that's when he realized the water was running.

I didn't...

Hear me? Like I can hear you?

He watched as the glass door of her shower quickly slid over and she poked her soaked head through.

"Are you fucking with me right now?" She asked squinting at him.

"Oh not at all, sweetheart," he grinned. "We're officially mated, baby."

They were right...they have to be...

"Who was? About what?" He quipped sitting up in the bed.

After a brief pause, she bit down on her lip. She knew she would have to tell him. He would find out one way or another and she didn't want to keep anything from him.

"Can we talk about it tomorrow? When it's not your birthday?"

"Kaly..." He frowned, "Sweetheart, what's going on? Birthday or not, you can tell me..."

After blowing out a heavy sigh, she turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around her frame. "There is reason to believe that I was never actually Nik's mate..." She admitted sitting beside him on the bed.

"What?!"

Sam was livid. Kalysta could feel his fury crashing through the room like a tidal wave and she flinched in response, which he immediately noticed and began apologizing for. Making her feel any amount of discomfort was not ever something he wanted for her.
