Chapter 146: _ Let
Love You
I was sitting but it seed like I was on my toes, anticipation buzzed through my veins. But then, with a teasing chuckle, he pulled the glass away.
"Such a clumsy wolf," he murmured, his dark eyes gleaming with amusent.
It was then I felt a bead of water clung to the corner of my lips. He reached out his thumb and brushed it against the wet spot with a deliberate slowness that sent shivers down my spine.
"Seems I’ll have to nd that mistake." He groaned as though this was such heavy work, his gaze dropping to my lips.
Before I could even stamr a reply, his face dipped towards mine. And then, his lips t mine.
The kiss ca as demanding as always. It ca as a possession. His lips were firm, almost harsh, yet there was an undercurrent of tenderness in them that left
breathless.
I lted into his touch, all thoughts of resistance forgotten if I even had any. My arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. His scent– a mix of battle, sweat, and sothing uniquely him, filled my senses.
It was intoxicating like a heady cocktail that fueled the fire igniting within .
The kiss deepened with his tongue tracing zig zag lines against mine but sending jolts of electrifying pleasure down my spine. A low moan escaped my lips.
"Damn you, Isleen. You shouldn’t have done that." He moaned back into my mouth.
It seed my moan had ignited a new spark within him. Maybe I wanted it to.
Maybe I wanted more. Give
more, Rhett. I was done with waiting.
His grip on my waist tightened, pulling
flush against his hard body. I pulled him even closer and closer, willing myself to beco one with him.
What was this pleasure? What was this feeling?
Why did it seem like Gamma Rhett knew that pathway to heaven? Every ti he kissed , I never failed to catch a glimpse of paradise.
Suddenly, he pulled away abruptly, leaving
breathless and yearning for more. His eyes were dark with desire and his chest heaving with ragged breaths.
"This," he licked his lips like a manaic, "is just a taste of what could be. And I swear to you, Isleen, if you don’t return to sleep now, I will carry you in my hands to my room and pounce my tiredness, frustration, and grief into you until your moans make
forget my worries.
My head spun.
Where in hell’s na did Rhett know to talk like this? Didn’t he know what his words were doing to ?
His words were like a delicious tornt. They were like a promise of sothing both forbidden and thrilling. But before I could respond, a loud groan echoed from him.
"Should it have been that we were alone, I might have fixed you against that slab and drilled you from behind." He kissed my lips briefly. "But let’s respect my son."
I was about to nod when he continued. "Where is our relationship leading, Isleen?" He asked.
Our relationship? Did we have a ’relationship’?
My cheeks burned like embers. His words were like a wave, crashing over
with raw desire and a possessiveness that both terrified and thrilled .
"D-do you even consider this a relationship, Gamma Rhett?" I stamred. "How can we call this a relationship?"
A harsh laugh escaped his lips. "Relationship, pretty Oga? Perhaps not in the conventional sense. But make no mistake, you are mine. What we share goes beyond the pleasantries of courtship." His gaze held mine, his dark eyes blazing with an intensity that made my throat dry. "You felt the pull, didn’t you, Isleen? The sa undeniable connection I feel when I’m near you? The mate bond aside, the mark aside, we are soulmates, darling. Soulmates."
S-soulmates?
We were soulmates?
My mind spun. Co to think of it, others like Lupe and her mate shared the mate bond, and yet, look at the condition of their relationship.
Rhett and I, it was always all spark and flas between us. Perhaps, what the mate bond did was to push out the truth in us.
Perhaps, we both had sothing beyond reason and were just blaming it on the bond.
My world said he was right. She wanted
to drop my guard. She was pleading for
to give in.
The connection between us was undeniable. I could feel it like a magnetic force that drew
to him like a moth to a fla. But could this be love?
Or was it sothing darker?
The way he claid , the possessiveness in his voice– they all just seed to set my senses on fire.
He seed to sense my hesitation. His jaw clenched, and a trace of frustration flashed in his face. "Look," he sighed, the harsh edge to his voice softening slightly. "I won’t lie. These past few weeks have been hell. The attack, the loss– it’s taken its toll too. And then there’s you, a constant presence in my mind, a fire I can’t seem to extinguish."
His words surprised .
Was this the mighty Gamma Rhett?
I yearned to pinch myself awake from this dream but couldn’t even move a muscle.
This was like a glimpse of vulnerability beneath his stoic facade. Could it be that he, the mighty Gamma Rhett was falling in love with ?
I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. I must say sothing. I needed to say sothing.
However, whatever it was I was going to say, none of it would be to disagree with him. I would no longer fight this. I wanted Rhett and that was it.
What I needed right now was an assurance that I wouldn’t regret this.
"I understand," I said softly. "You’ve been through so much. But what about , Gamma Rhett? I’m confused. Lost. And yes, there’s an undeniable attraction between us, maybe thanks to bond or maybe not but where does this go? What exactly are your expectations? For us to complete the mating process and finally make our reveal?"
The thought of completing the mating process, of finally having him ’drilling’ all of his pent-up emotions in
just as he had said earlier was as exciting as it was daunting.
