“I’m sorry I made you wait but I really would be honored to be your mate,” I tell him, rolling myself on top of him so that I can look in his eyes so he knows I’m serious.

“My sweet kitten, you have no idea how long I’ve waited for you to say that, probably from the first moment I saw you. You owned my heart in a way no one ever has,” he says, running his fingers along my cheek. I can feel the tears well up in my eyes but I don’t bother trying to stop them. His words spoke right to my heart, filling it with the love I need right now when things are out of control.

“I love you Darius,” I tell him even as my tears fall from my eyes and paint his body beneath me.

“We can’t mate now though love, you just went through something traumatic and I don’t want you to regret your decision later when you start to feel better,” he says with a grim expression on his face as if it hurt him just to say the words. For me, I’m shocked that he would actually turn me down.

The pounding of my heart and the dread I now feel in my stomach makes me uncomfortable looking down at him but I won’t let him push me away. Things have been out of my control since I was kidnapped, but this is very much in my control.

“You don’t get to tell me how to feel Darius, if you don’t want to seal the bond that’s one thing but you don’t get to make up your mind about my feelings on the subject,” I tell him before rolling away, or attempting to. His hands on my hips stop my escape before I even have a chance.

“I’m not trying to tell you how to feel—”

“Yes you are, and there is no way I’d ever regret making you my mate Darius. I know what I went through and it only makes me more certain this is what I want,” I tell him and this time it’s his eyes that fill with tears.

“I love you kitten more than you can even fathom, but there are a lot of things in my past that you don’t know about. You would be tying yourself to a monster,” he says as if somehow he’s now trying to talk me out of mating him.

Silly vampire.

“You’re an idiot if you think your past could make me not love the man I have for the past year. You’re stuck with me for the rest of your life whether you like it or not,” I tell him, and my body shakes on top of him from the laughter that leaves his lips.

“You’re the most precious thing in the world to me, thank you for loving a monster like me even though I don’t deserve it,” he says, releasing my hips and lightly running his fingers along my sides, sending goosebumps across my cooling skin.

“I’ve seen real monsters and you aren’t one of them,” I tell him, a shiver rolling down my spine from remembering how the witches made me feel.

Placing my lips to his I kiss him aggressively hoping to push back the memories of how the dark magic felt slithering over my body.

No! Don’t think about that now! Just feel what Dar is doing.

His hands grip my ass as he pulls me tightly to grind against him. Our tongues mingle together gently massaging one another as our kiss continues. Moans leave my lips as my skin heats up and I feel his length harden beneath me. Gentle really isn’t how we normally are when we're together in bed but right now this is exactly what I need.

Pulling back for air I take a few deep breaths as I smile down at him. His hand still cupping my face, he tucks a few strands of hair behind my ear.

“Are you sure, Jade?” he asks using my stripper name, which to him is my real name, it means he’s serious. I’m sure that he heard Delly call me Ana last night but he hasn’t brought it up yet. Another reason I love my vampire is his patience with me and waiting for me to be ready to share.

“More than ready. Make love to me Darius and make me your mate,” I say my voice husky and filled with need, not only for his body but for his acceptance and love.

With that he rolls me gently on my back and smirks down at me. His lips meet the skin of my neck first in a kiss but he moves down my body quickly stopping at my breasts to torture each peak momentarily. First he sucks on the nipple almost to the point of pain before giving it a little nip, not breaking the skin only sending a delicious shock straight to my clit.

Moisture gathers between my legs and I can’t lay still as he moves to the other peaked nipple.

“Dar please,” I beg, but it doesn’t seem to affect him any, or at least not his speed.

“Kitten, I only get to make you my mate once, so I'd like for it to be memorable and last more than a few moments. It’s hard enough with the sweet sounds you’re making, please don’t beg,” he comments before kissing his way down my stomach heading directly for the ache that is screaming for relief between my thighs.

He lays a small kiss on my hip bone before spreading my legs wide enough for his shoulders to fit between them. His hot breath on my most intimate parts have me holding my breath in anticipation. The first touch of his tongue against my clit and my back bows off the bed. Flames inside of me burst forth as he continues his attention on my clit, and when he adds his fingers, fucking me slowly I swear I’m ready to combust.

Every nerve in my body is alight with pleasure, my limbs tingle and my hands fist the sheets beneath me as I feel my orgasm come closer. When he sucks my clit hard, I’m lost in pleasure as I tip over the edge into oblivion.

“Oh Dar,” I moan loudly into the room as my body shakes and my hands abandon the sheets to instead grip Darius’ hair in both hands and hold him close until the pleasure becomes almost too much. Only then do I push him away.

“God kitten, you taste so good,” he says, smiling up at me while licking his lips provocatively at me. “I think you should taste yourself so that you can know just how addictive you are.”

Moving up my body he places his lips to mine and I taste myself on his lips. It’s a strange and weirdly erotic feeling but I don’t mind it in the least especially when I feel him line himself up and slowly push his way in. Groaning, I bite his lips and smirk when I feel his body shiver above me.

“Just wait until I sink my teeth deep into your porcelain skin to mark you as mine,” I tease him as he pulls back from the kiss and starts thrusting his hips harder.

“Don’t talk like that kitten, or you’ll make me embarrass myself during our mating,” he groans, and I can’t help but smile at him. My reply dies in my throat though as he continues his pace vigorously fucking me into the bed.
