Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 349

~ Josie ~

This was all so surreal, was I even awake because this felt like some kind of heaven.

I should be mad at him, I am mad at him…but I can’t deny that urge to be with him…it’s multiplied. If I found him sexy before…nothing would prepare me for how that desire for him now is.

I can feel her pushing forward, her eyes roaming the length of him as his hair dampens under the shower. He pulls me into him, his hands gripping me on my hips as I hear a pur escape from me.

It’s like a rattle on my chest, a smirk forming upon his lips as I tut in embarrassment.

My fingers lace themselves within the waistband of his black boxers only for him to pull them back out and spin me.

“Let’s keep it clean shall we?” His lips press against the tip of my shoulder.

“I think it’s pretty unfair that I’m the naked one.”

“Because it’s taking all my self control to hold my wolf back.” His tongue licks across my shoulder to my neck, where I feel him smell me.

“I don’t mind.” I look up at him from behind, flirting with my eyelashes.

He doesn’t respond and I chose to not push him. The hard bulge in his boxers is telling me that he wants to be with me but he is more concerned about getting me showered…and that to me shows he cares more than having sex with me.

Adrenaline was pumping through my system and it wouldn’t be long before it faded away, for the true grave severity of what I’ve been through to hit me. But for now, I was going to enjoy this chaotic euphoric feeling flooding through me.

I let him wash my hair, my head leaning into his hands as he takes care of me. When his hands skim across my chest, his eyes glow a spectacular ruinous black. His jaw tensing as his body starts to shake violently.

I look down, his fingers lathering against three wounds…three scars. I hadn’t even noticed. Even with my wolf now, these won’t ever heal, these are like birth marks and I’m okay with that. But it seems to create a chemical reaction within him.

“Knox..” I place a hand to his face, his eyes darting up to look at mine. Remorse, regret, hatred for who did this, revenge…his eyes shared a mix of emotion.

“I’m safe now.” I try to hush his burning anger.
