Page 52 of The Last Ultimatum: Part 1

He eased my shirt up and over my head.

As he kissed his way down my neck, I froze as he reached the spot he'd already tried to mark me twice.

Before I could freak out, he dropped a kiss there and moved on.

I could feel his hot breath through my bra as his mouth covered me and nibbled through the silky fabric.

I moaned in pleasure.

The truth was, while I liked to push my boundaries at times, when it came to intimacy, I was a good girl. I'd always known I would mate well and I had saved myself for it. Right now, I didn't know if I would end up mating Lachlan or be stuck with Aiden. I was tired of doing the right thing. Nothing else mattered but sharing this moment with my one true mate.

I freely gave myself to him.

“Yes,” I cried out, letting him know I was all in, damn the consequences.

The noises of appreciation that he made only stoked the fire within me even more until I was a blazing inferno within.

I wanted to touch him and feel his skin against mine.

Carefully, I removed his shirt with far more patience than I felt and I allowed myself to explore his body. It was exquisite. Every time he gave a sound of encouragement it emboldened me to continue.

“Tell me you want this too,” he said in a strained voice.

“Yes,” I managed to say.

I was blinded with emotions, acting on feelings, and not thinking logically. But I didn't care. I wanted this more than I'd ever wanted anything.

We continued to kiss and grope each other like two horny teens. I smiled at the thought and couldn't help but wonder if it would always be this way. And would we be together long enough to find out.

At peace with my decision to allow him to take my virginity right here and right now, I participated with new vigor.

The first time his hand dipped down and touched me at my core I nearly splintered into a million pieces. I was hot, wet, and ready for him.

I reached down to unzip his pants, one more step to what I most wanted.

“We're approaching descent. Please return to your seats and buckle in. We'll be landing in approximately fifteen minutes.”

I jumped back like I'd just touched fire.

Lachlan groaned in frustration. He seemed to be judging the time and then looked defeated as he brushed my now slightly sweat dampened hair from my face and gave me one last chaste kiss before sitting up and gathering up our clothes.

Inside I was screaming in frustration, but I tried to play it cool.

“Saved by the bell, I guess. We really shouldn't be encouraging a bond.”

He looked at me for a moment and then nodded.

“Yeah.”

To my surprise, there wasn't any awkwardness between us as we redressed and took our seats. For some reason I thought there should be, but there wasn't. I realized that I was more comfortable with Lachlan than I had ever been with anyone else in my entire life.

“I'm sorry,” he said softly once we were back in our seats.

“For what?” I blurted out in a knee jerk reaction.

“I shouldn't have taken advantage of the situation.”

“You didn't take advantage of it or me. I wanted this.”
