I closed the distance between us. She stood up and I pulled her into my arms.
The feeling of her body pressed against mine sent my mind into ecstasy. The bond was fucking amazing and I couldn't believe that this perfect woman was mine.
“I missed you,” I mumbled as I buried my nose in her hair. “I missed you so fucking much.”
I took a deep breath and released it slowly. She shivered when my breath touched her skin. I ran my hand up and down her back, wishing that I could just rip the shirt off her body and feel her soft skin under my fingertips. She pressed herself closer to me, making me smile. She wanted me as much as I wanted her.
I looked down at the desk and saw a bunch of hand-written books. I couldn't tell what was written.
“What are you doing with all of these books, Angel?” I asked as I placed a small kiss on the top of her head.
She looked up at me. I lifted my hand and caressed her soft cheek. I just couldn't resist. I was just about to bend down to kiss her, but she started talking.
“You know that I have magic, right?” she asked me quietly.
I nodded. “I know. Why?”
She took a deep breath and stepped away from me. I felt empty and cold without her in my arms.
“Sophia?” I called her, narrowing my eyes.
Why did she step away from me?
“My magic is unpredictable, Hunter,” she mumbled, looking down at the books on her desk. “It’s dangerous.”
My heart raced. What was she trying to say?
“I’m having trouble controlling the darkness inside me,” she continued, her voice laced with worry and fear. “I am a danger to you and your pack.”
What the fuck was she trying to say?!
I didn’t fucking understand. Was she trying to reject me?
No! Over my dead fucking body!
I was just about to grab her when she started pacing around the room.
“I can’t hurt you, Hunter,” she said, her voice trembling. “I would never forgive myself if I hurt someone in your pack. I would never...”
I stopped her rambling by approaching her and pressing her against the wall. I placed my hands on the wall, caging her in. I bent down to look at her beautiful face.
My heart was going a mile a minute. I wasn’t going to let her leave me.
She looked into my eyes for the first time since I walked into her office. I shivered and gulped.
“What the fuck are you saying, Sophia?” I mumbled. “You are not leaving me. You are not rejecting me. I am not scared of your magic. You are not dangerous. You will not hurt anyone.”
She glanced down at my lips, making all the blood in my body rush down to my dick.
Fuck.
“Hunter, I...” she mumbled, but I couldn't hold back anymore.
I pressed my lips against hers, using my tongue to part them open. Her taste invaded my senses and I was in fucking heaven.
She wasn’t leaving me. I wasn’t going to let that happen. She was fucking mine, and I would never let her go.
