Every time I felt him retreat, I wanted to weep. Every time he pushed back in, I felt like everything in the world was right. When his mouth closed over my nipple, I thought I might die. I was a live wire. Everything felt heightened, amazing, and right. I sobbed out his name as the first orgasm crashed over me. Cade slowed down, pushing my ass up a little so he was slamming the head of his cock on my g-spot every time he pushed in, catapulting me into another orgasm before I had come down from the first.

“Fuck, Bells. Just like that, Princess. Strangle my cock like you can’t get enough of it.”

His dirty words were fuel to the fire inside me. When I finally came down from my orgasm, Cade pulled out and flipped me on my stomach. I bunched the sheets by my head and I was sure my eyes rolled to the back of my head when he pushed in again. How could this feel so right?

Cade pulled my body up until it was flushed up against his chest. His hands went to my breasts, tweaking and pulling on both hardened nipples as he continued to thrust up into me. His panting breaths and moans in my ear a testament of how much he enjoyed making love to me. Cade sucked on my neck, the sensation of his lips so close to my marking spot was making me fly so close to the stars, and I felt like I was going to die if he didn’t mark me. The two desperate words I wanted to cry out as he laid tiny love bites on my shoulder were at the tip of my tongue.

“Cade!” I cried out instead, in pleasure and frustration.

He wasn’t mine, but he felt like he was mine. It wasn’t fair. I pulled on his hair, making him growl. One of his hands dropped down to my mound, in search of my clit. When he found it, Cade pulled on the little bundle. I gasped and he growled as he felt me teetering on the edge of the precipice. He continued working onmy clit, pinching, pulling and flicking all the while thrusting into my core in an unrelenting rhythm that promised paradise.

“Come for me, Princess. I want to feel your pussy milk my cock.” Cade bit the sensitive piece of my earlobe and I detonated.

I sobbed out a cry and I threw my head back. The light burst behind my eyes and I could swear I had an out-of-body experience, watching the way Cade pumped into me until he roared his release.

It felt like hours, but was probably minutes, before I felt my soul return to my body. I was back on the bed, cradled against Cade’s body, one of his legs possessive over mine, his arms caging me to his body.

Reality crashed around me as my heart slowed. How was I supposed to tell him no? How was I supposed to let this man go? He was so deep in my soul, that I didn’t know where mine ended and his began. His scent was so embedded in my pores that I wouldn’t be surprised if I no longer smelled like me. A tear left my eyes before I could stop it, then another.

“Bells? What’s wrong?” Cade tried to turn me so he could look at me, but instead, I pulled away. I needed time to get myself together, so I got out of bed. “Where are you going?”

“I need to shower and go down to help with breakfast.”

“Princess, we need to talk,” Cade answered, trying to follow me to the bathroom.

I stood at the entrance and shook my head.

“When are you leaving?” I asked.

Cade stopped, his concern increasing.

“Ten days. I need to be back in Arizona to oversee the construction and the installation of the temporary housing.”

My heart broke into little pieces. I thought I had more time. I thought I’d be able to hold him out until the council arrived to let me know if I could become alpha. I was out of time, and I had no answers that would satisfy us both.

“I have to shower.”

“We need to talk about this, Bells.”

“There’s nothing to talk about, Cade. We knew what this was from the start. You agreed to it.”

“Like hell, I did!” Cade’s voice was full of anger, but his face revealed the hurt under it, and I couldn’t bear to see it there, so I turned away.

“I need to shower. I’ll talk to you later.”

I walked in and locked the door. I felt the door jiggling for a moment. When it stopped, I wondered if he would try to break down the door.

“We’re not done, Bells. Sooner or later, you’re going to have to talk about this. I’m not giving up so easily, Princess.”

I turned on the shower and when I heard the door to my bedroom slam shut, I let out the sob I’d been holding back. I sank down to the floor, covering my face with my hands. But, I didn’t even have time to grieve properly, so I pulled myself up and took a deep breath before I went into the shower, hoping the water would help my raw emotions settle.

Instead, I began to feel the rage building inside me and I let out a scream and punched the shower wall. The tempered glass wasn’t able to take the hit and shattered into a million little pieces. I stood there in shock, the irony that my heart felt like the glass did at the moment, not lost on me. I continued to shower, not caring about the mess. I was numb by the time the water ran cold and I walked over the glass shards without feeling it dig into my heels. I picked out the shards, wiped my feet of blood and threw the towel into the bathroom as I exited. I changed into clothes for the day and walked down to help prep for breakfast.

Chapter Thirty

Bellarose

Somehow, I managed to work the entire day without breaking down, skipping lunch and dinner so I wouldn’t have to talk to anyone. I could feel Cade’s eyes in the back of my head as I walked past the dining room, picked up my monkey and put him to bed. Instead of heading to my room, I crawled into bed with Adam and read to him again until he was fast asleep. I stayed there for hours, combing his hair and watching him sleep, trying my best not to think about anything.
