The One He Claimed by cooper (Sophie and Hunter) novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54

“I’ll go now before it gets dark,” I tell him.

He holds onto my hand. “Hurry home to me, Kins.”

I nod and turn to head upstairs. Every time he says something like that, my heart melts a little bit more. Not for the first time, I wonder what it would have been like for us if our mating night had been like Alpha Hunter’s and Luna Sophie’s.

When I get to the mountain, I see that the food is gone. I’m glad because the scent of sex and Alpha Hunter still lingers in this area, but if the she–wolves are hungry enough, that won’t deter them, at least not until they have food in their stomachs. I leave the food and the note that we are offering sanctuary. I also added that Sophie Meyers has found her mate, our Alpha, but he mated her privately and she is now the Luna of our pack. I’m hoping that they trust my words enough to at least check out our pack.

When I return, Lucas and I have dinner and once Alpha Hunter and Luna Sophie return, we head to our room. It’s good to know that at least two more Alphas are on our side and while I would have liked to talk to Luna Sophie more, I’m exhausted and as Lucas expected, I’m

very sore.

“I think I need to start training more,” I tell him as we walk into our room. “Are you still sore?”

“No, but it took several hours to wear off,” he says. “Why don’t you get

ready for bed and lie down, I’ll massage your legs.”

I do as he suggests, and he begins massaging my legs. I know he wants to touch me more than I’m comfortable allowing, so this is a nice compromise, and my mate’s fingers are magic.

I try to be good, but a moan slips out occasionally. I can see that he’s getting aroused and while it makes me nervous that he might want something more, he doesn’t act on it. I feel bad for my mate. I feel his arousal pressed against my back every night when we go to sleep and every morning when we wake. I know it must be hard for him, but even now, he doesn’t push me. He accepts what I’m willing to give him.

“How’s that?” he asks me nearly an hour later.

“So much better.” I tell him.

“Good, we should get some sleep,” he says, moving up to lay behind me. Yep, he’s hard as a rock. I feel like I want to thank him, in a way that might be more meaningful to him and push me in my desire to show more trust in him, so I turn in his arms and rest my hand on his shoulder.

“Kinsley?”

“I thought… I mean, I’m not ready to have sex, but I thought, maybe we could kiss for a bit before we go to sleep?”

“I’d like that. If at any point it gets to be more than you want, let me know,” he says.

I nod and tilt my head up to his. His warm lips press softly against mine. He takes his time, slowly deepening the kiss and when his tongue licks the seam of my lips, I open for him, letting him slide his tongue into my mouth. I love the way he tastes, fresh and clean, like the forest after the rain.

I hear myself whimper against him and he growls softly in return. I can feel my body responding to my mate, heat pooling in my core, making my body crave more. I begin pressing myself closer against him,

wanting to ease the ache between my thighs.

“Will you let me help you with that?” he asks me, pulling away enough to look at me in the dark room.

“I don’t…”

“Just my hands. Nothing else. I can smell your arousal, Kinsley. It’s making me crazy, so I’m guessing that your body is craving a release.”

I nod.

“Let me give you what your body wants,” he says softly.

I nod and he slides his hand down my body, gently running his fingers under the silk pajama top that I’m wearing. The feel of his fingers against my skin makes my body feel like it’s on fire, desperately needing a release.

He continues kissing me, shifting so that his hand can move down into my sleep shorts. He gently massages his way to my core, his hand sliding between my thighs.

“You’re soaking wet, Kins,” he growls against my mouth before taking

the kiss even deeper. When his fingers find my clit, I gasp, looking up

at Lucas.

“Will you unbutton your top for me, I want to see you, I want to taste you.”
