Kidnapped By My Mate Chapter 20

After our steamy shower, Grayson dressed me in one of his shirts and a pair of his sweatpants even after I had told him I could wear my own clothes.

He ignored my request, saying something about feeling better with me in his clothes.

Then he stood for several minutes, and told me he was debating with his wolf over whether we should eat first or sleep. I wanted to go to sleep, so I was happy when Grayson brought me to the

bed.

But to be honest, I probably would have gone to sleep whether or not he’d told me I could.

I tried to keep my distance from him while we were sleeping, but he wasn’t having any of that. When we lay down, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to him so I was lying on his chest. His arms wrapped around me tightly, and our legs tangled together.

It was by far the best sleep of my life. Not that I would tell him that. He doesn’t need a bigger

ego.

I woke up to the feeling of Grayson playing with my hair as I lay on his chest. My entire b*dy was buzzing with electricity and contentment.

I thought about a few days ago when I’d first met him and how absolutely terrified I’d been.

I’d had every right to be terrified. And I didn’t regret pushing Grayson away, although it had hurt both of us more than I could ever imagine.

It had given me time to think. It had given me time to really come to terms with our bond and the connection that we had. There was no way that I could deny the bond between us now.

I was one hundred percent certain that Grayson was my mate, and that I was his. I was done denying it.

I tilted my head up at him and smiled, “Good morning.”

He smiled down at me and k*ssed my forehead.

“Actually, good afternoon. It’s about 4 p.m. in Paris right now.”

4 p.m.? How is that possible?

I sat un and looked out the window Sure enough it was dark outside “Oh my gosh How long

I sat up and looked out the window. Sure enough, it was dark outside. “Oh my gosh. How long did we sleep?”

He shrugged, turning over on his side. “Not sure. I’m just glad you got some rest. My wolf was getting ready to sit on you again.”

He reached up and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

I laughed again, thinking about the last time he did that: he’d almost flattened my lungs.

“Well, I’m glad he didn’t.”

Grayson sat up and wrapped his arms around me again.

“Come here. I’m not ready to let you out of my arms yet.” He lay back down and brought me

with him.

I giggled. On plain instinct, I reached up and k*ssed his l*ps. When I moved away, my eyes. widened as I realized what I had just done.

“I did not mean to do that.”

Grayson growled and tugged me closer when I tried to move away.

“Trust me, mate, I did not mind at all. You can k*ss me anytime you want.”

I rolled my eyes. “You would say that. You just like k*ssing me because I’m your so–called mate.”

“Even if you weren’t my mate, baby girl, I would still be extremely attracted to you. People only mate when they’d make a good couple even without the bond. The bond just makes it easier for us to come together and know that we are meant for each other at first sight. It speeds the process along.”

His eyes darkened a bit. “Plus, it makes S** ten times better.”

I gasped and tried to shove him away, but his arms were like steel traps. “Is your mind always in the gutter?”

He smirked. “Baby, you are on top of me, straddling me, wearing my clothes. How could my mind not be in the gutter?”

I didn’t know what to say, but thankfully my stomach responded for me. It let out a loud rumble. I blushed.

Grayson laughed. “C’mon, let’s get some food in you.”

As we walked downstairs, he kept one hand on my back, making sure that some part of him was always touching me. I’d never thought I would say this, but I was glad that he maintained physical contact with me.

The thought of being in pain again—the pain that I felt when he wasn’t nearby–terrified me.

Kyle was already in the kitchen when we walked in. He smiled at me and wiggled his eyebrows. “Well, it’s good to see that you’re feeling better, Lu-”

“Don’t talk to her until she’s eaten,” Grayson snapped, completely interrupting Kyle.

I gaped at him, but he just kept pushing me toward the table, where a bunch of breakfast food was laid out, even though it was closer to dinner.

I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at Grayson.

“Excuse me, he can talk to me if he wants to. You need to stop bossing people around.”

I noticed that Grayson’s eyes were black again. I knew then that I probably shouldn’t mess with him. Without saying a word, he scooped me up in his arms, bridal style, and carried me to the table.

He sat down, keeping me in his lap.

“No,” he said. “Food!” He shoved a plate in front of me and nodded toward it, signaling for me

to take some.

When I squirmed in his lap, he tightened his arms around me and growled loudly in my ear. I winced. Clearly, Grayson wasn’t in an arguing mood.

I gave Kyle an apologetic look, which he returned with a shrug and a smile that said he dealt with this sort of thing all the time.

Grayson grabbed my chin gently and moved my head so I was looking at him. “Don’t pay attention to Kyle. Eat.”

I rolled my eyes. “Bossy much?”

Grayson squeezed my hips in warning, and I smiled cheekily as I reached for some food.

I could feel his hot breath on my ear as I ate, and it just made me squirm in his lap even more.

“Tomorrow we’ll eat at the best restaurant in Paris.”

I looked back at him as I took a big bite of a croissant. “So you’ve been here before?”

He nodded, then grabbed my wrist and brought the croissant in my hand to his mouth, taking a giant bite out of it.
