The Silent Alpha novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Soul Binding Part I

***Talia***

“Mark me,” I murmur, climbing onto his bare lap and straddling Zane between my thighs.

Zane’s cheeks flush in their cute, timid way, his stutter more pronounced when he speaks.

“A-Ar-Are y-you sure?” He blinks, a nervous smile curling on his lips as] guide his hands and place them on my hips.

“ Be-Because I-I ca-can wai-” I press my mouth over his, parting my lips ever so slightly so that my tongue slips between the seams of his mouth.

Small sparks tingle across my face, my wolf purring at the sensation of our tongues meeting for a dance.

When I pull away, I cup his cheeks and force him to look at me, his large brown eyes full of love and hope as they gaze back at me.

Desire burns across my heart as I realize he is the only man to ever make me feel this safe and loved before, the only one who does not hesitate to protect me, even from my own feelings.

He is gentle when I need him to be and strong when I patience left for myself and he loves me.

He loves me...

and it feels so good to be loved by him.

I lean my forehead against his, pecking his perfect lips and inhaling his rich scent.

“Make me yours,” I whisper, standing up to unzip my jeans and slide them off.

His cheeks burn bright red as he blinks up at me, unsure if he should watch or look away.

Wanting to make him squirm just a little, I slowly pull my blouse over my head sol remain only in my bra and panties.

My eyes flick towards the hardening member between his legs, a smirk spreading across my cheeks as I play with the straps of my bra.

I position my feet on either side of his thighs, Zane timidly sliding his hands up and down my calves.

Hesitation flickers in his eyes but he nonetheless leans forward and peppers kisses on my legs, an ache building in my core.

Very gently, I lower myself onto his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist so that our bodies are pressed up against each other.

He tries to kiss me but I dodge his lips and shower kisses on his jaw all the way down to his neck, basking in his delicious scent.

My tongue slides over his bare flesh while my “Ta-Talia, ar-are y-you sure?” He asks once more, cupping my face to get me to stop kissing him.

His brows are furrowed in genuine concern, his actions verifying that I am, in fact, making the right choice because he cares enough to ask.

“You are the only thing I’m sure about right now,” I murmur, cupping his face.

“And I trust you'll take care of my heart,” I murmur between kisses.

“Won’t you?” “Y-yes,” he nods.

“I-l promise.” “Then make me yours,” I giggle, pecking him on the lips and reaching for his hands.

“Please.” I guide his hands to my bra and notice his hands trembling a little as they grip the clasp.

“Don’t be nervous,” I whisper in his ear, lowering my voice as I nibble on his ear lobe.

“You don’t have to be scared.

Not with me,” I reassure him, slowly gyrating my hips against his growing member.

“I’m going to be yours, right?” I ask, Zane nodding as he swallows the lump in his throat.

“Then show me,” I murmur, kissing the tip of his nose.

“Show me what it means to be yours.” Gold flecks appear in his eyes, Grayson and Zane gazing back at me as if their souls were merging for amoment to “There you are,” I whisper.

“My mate.

My perfect mate.” Zane closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, the muscles in his face relaxing so that when he looks at me again, it’s just him and I.

My mate gently raises his hand to my face, his fingers lightly grazing my skin.

He traces my eyes and nose with the back of his index finger until his thumb comes to rest on my lips, parting them slightly.

“Be-beautiful,” he says in a low voice, a calm smile on his lips.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies flutters in my belly, the word finding new meaning when it leaves Zane’s lips.

For so long, I felt inadequate as I strived for perfection and yet now, in Zane’s arms, I am beautiful despite my tousled hair and swollen eyes.

I do not have to be anything but myself with him, and it makes my heart soar to know I will always be safe with Zane.

I feel his hand slide down my neck, stopping just below my marking spot where he begins to trace a heart shape.

Sparks erupt beneath his lips when he leans over to kiss it, my entire body reacting to him and his touch.

on my skin.

“Goddess, I-I love y-you,” he repeats with conviction.

He raises his head and looks me deep in my eyes in search of any doubt, his fears and anxieties melting away when he realizes all I want is him.

Zane pulls me closer to him, brushing away my hair from my shoulders to expose my neck.
