"I'm not going to apologize for you being my mate because I would rather have no one else but I do wish you didn't have to deal with the hardships", I tell her, sincerely sorry for the stress she now has because of me. She puts her head down again and stares at our hands. I place my other hand on her palm so that her hand is sandwiched between my own. She smiles, still looking down and places her hand on top of the hand sandwich I made. I take my hand and place it underneath her chin. I push upwards so that she's looking me in the eye. She gives a small smile then her eyes well up. A few tears cascade down her cheeks. I wipe them away wishing they had never appeared. Taya whimpers then bites her bottom lip, I assume to keep from crying any further. I place my hands on the sides of her face and lean in. Slowly I place a kiss on her forehead, then her nose then each cheek. She closes her eyes so I press a kiss onto each eyelid. Then the corners of her mouth. Finally I kiss her lips. Jesse and Taya are soul mates, their love developing rather quickly but is their love strong enough to make it through the mating rights? This book contains mature content.
