Kidnapped by my mate (Belle and Grayson) novel Chapter 17

Kidnapped by My Mate Chapter 17

Sweet relief from the pain that I had dealt with for the past several days came crashing into my b*dy, and I let out a s ob.

Grayson wrapped his arms tightly around my middle and then shifted them to beneath my butt so he could lift me.

Waist and clung to him for what felt like dear life.

I wrapped my legs around his

“I’m so sorry,” he whispered into my hair. “G od, I’m so sorry.”

I nodded my head to show that I understood, and pressed myself closer to him.

“I’m sorry too,” I whispered into his n*eck.

He squeezed me gently. No more words were needed.

We stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding each other and breathing each other in.

It was pure bliss, and I never wanted it to end.

But then Grayson moved. I panicked. Was he going to put me down? Was he going to leave me again? He must have sensed my panic because he ran a hand soothingly up and down my back as

he walked.

“Shh,” he said. “I’ve got you.”

He carried me past the room I’d spent the last few days in and into the room next to it.

Without letting go of me, he closed the door and then made his way over to the bed.

He laid us down so we were both on our sides facing each other with our bodies entwined.

Our foreheads touched, and for a while, we just stared into each other’s eyes.

Our breathing became in sync and everything felt so…right.

After some time I brought my hand up to touch the dark bags under his eyes.

“When was the last time you slept?” I asked him.

He shrugged his shoulders a bit. “About the last time you did.”

I furrowed my brow. “I’ve slept a lot over the last few days.”

He pulled me closer, tightening his hold on me.

“No, you’ve passed out. And never for more than a few minutes. There’s a difference between passing out and sleeping.”

“How did you know I passed out?”

“Because I felt it. I felt everything you went through.”

“You did?” I asked, surprised.

He nodded slowly and ran a thumb over my cheekbone.

“Our bond is stronger than the average werewolf couple. I’m not sure why. I can feel your strongest emotions. Usually that doesn’t happen until after you’ve completed the mating process.”

I shuddered when he reached a hand under my shirt and ran it up and down my back.

“Do I even want to know what the mating process is?”

He smiled slightly.

“I’m probably not the best person to tell you. But I promise you’ll enjoy every second of it. You’ll be begging me not to stop.”

His eyes drifted between us, roaming over my b*dy. He licked his l*ps hungrily.

I scoffed and shoved at his shoulder lightly. He growled playfully and squeezed me tighter to

him. His teeth nipped at my ear.

“S-so, um,” I stuttered when he leaned back to look at me. “The mating process. It, uh, has to do with, um”-I cleared my throat a bit―”that?”

Grayson’s eyes glittered with amusement. “Do you mean S**, mate?”

My cheeks blushed a dark red. I nodded my head.

Grayson licked his l*ps and smirked.

“Yes. It has to do with lots and lots of S**.”

His voice was deeper than usual, and I noticed that his eyes were slowly becoming darker the more we talked about the topic. I shifted uncomfortably thinking about Grayson and me having S**. He noticed that I was moving farther away from him, and he immediately pulled me closer.

“Nuh-uh, you are not getting away from me. I don’t care how nervous S** makes you.”

I looked anywhere but his eyes. He didn’t know it, but I had never had S** before. I just hadn’t

had the time for boys when my dad got sick.

The thought of having S** for the first time with someone who seemed as experienced as Grayson made my stomach turn into knots.

Grayson’s hand went under my chin, and he lifted my head until my eyes met his.

UNLIMITE

“You have nothing to worry about, beautiful. Nothing will happen until you are one hundred percent ready and comfortable. Even then, I will take care of you. I’ll always take care of you.”

I relaxed a bit, even though the idea still made me nervous. Hearing his words, I wanted to melt into a puddle. He pressed his forehead against mine again, and we stayed like that for a while. It was interesting to stare into his swirling black eyes. It was almost as if they were sucking me in.

I found myself reaching up and cupping his face. I ran a thumb under his eyes.

“That’s your wolf?” I asked quietly.

Grayson placed his hand over mine and turned his head to k*ss my palm gently. “Yes.”

“Are you going to turn into a wolf now?”

“No, don’t worry about that. He’s just watching you. I mean, he’s always watching through my eyes. He’s just more present now because we’re so close to you.”

I continued to stare into his eyes as the black swirled around like a mist in his irises.

It was mesmerizing.

“What is he doing right now?”

“He’s worrying about you. He doesn’t enjoy seeing you so sad. He also continues to remind me of the fact that you haven’t eaten or slept in days. He’s mad at me for not taking care of you.”

“He can talk to you?”

Grayson shook his head. “No. He doesn’t speak. He is a wolf, after all. But somehow we just understand each other. We are the same being. My wolf is me just as much as I am him.”

“Huh,” I breathed out, intrigued by everything that Grayson was saying. It was all so interesting.

“He likes that you’re curious about him. He enjoys having your attention.”

“He does?”
