Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 600

~ Cleo ~

We were at the end of the bed, just holding one another. Just inhaling each other’s scents.

He had to leave, I know he does…but I can’t let him go.

I can’t let go.

“Please be careful.” I whisper into his ear, dropping my walls so that he could feel my anxiety through the mate bond.

He doesn’t respond, he just holds me closer to him, tightening his arms around me. I could block my emotions but I need him to know that I am not okay with this.

“Please don’t make me raise our child alone.” A near fear of mine, one that has only sprung upon me…yet I feel as if I’ve had this fear all my life. The intensity of it was like nothing I had ever felt before.

“It won’t come to that, I promise.” His lips nibble across my neck line, my body leaning into his, craving more.

“I’m going to hold you to that.” I determinedly respond.

He places a lingering kiss upon my lips before picking me up and turning us so that I was now lying back on the bed. His muscular body completely towering over me.

I was the only one of us semi decently dressed. His entire greek god body was on full display for me, something my fingers waste no time in touching again.

His abs were rock hard, just looking at them made me wet again for him.

I was covered in his essence, his musky coconut scent seeping into my pores.

I didn’t want to wash him off but I will need to, if I plan to sit across the breakfast table from his and my family in the morning, I had no choice.

The way we have had sex for the last five hours will be noticeable not only by the smell, but by the glow upon my skin.

I was in an all consuming post-coital high until he finally muttered the words that he needed to leave.
