My Hunted Mate

Chapter Fifteen

Corinna

When we reach the floor where Kai's bedroom is, he leads me to the room across from his, telling me

he'll be across the hall if I need anything then leaves me standing in the room alone and confused.

Lifting the red jumper over my head, I toss it to the floor as I wander over to two doors beside the

balcony, switching on the lights in both to find the white marble room I was looking for.

Padding across the bathroom, I bend over to fill the bath, dumping way more soap into the water than

necessary. As the giant tub that's nearly identical to Kai's in everything but colour fills, I close the

bathroom door, flicking the lock just in case Josephine wanted to try give me a goodbye.

After nearly an hour in the bath, the water gets cold so I allow it to drain from the tub while I step out of

it, humming while wrapping a towel around my body and exiting the bathroom that now smelled just as Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

strongly as lavender as I did.

As I enter the room I'd be sleeping in, I pause mid step when I see Olive sitting on my bed with a tear

stained face. I show no emotion on my face while waiting for her to speak first, not knowing what way

she would be towards me now after everything with her sister.

She gives me a sad smile, that relaxes me slightly. " I just wanted to came to say how sorry I am about

my sister, what she did... There are no words for how messed up that was. I also wanted to make sure

you knew, how grateful I am that you helped me get away from those hunters. "

" Oh.. I'm sorry about your sister too. " I mumble, unsure what what else to say on the matter.

" Well how about I try in some way to apologise on her behalf and take you shopping tomorrow evening

when the sun starts to go down? " she offers kindly.

" That would be lovely, considering all I have right now to wear are Kai's clothes. " I give her an

awkward smile.

" Kai? " She furrows her eyebrows for a brief moment before she realises. " Oh Mal, right. " she laughs.

We both stare at each other awkwardly for a couple of seconds before she stands. " I'll let you get out

of that towel, I'll see you tomorrow. "

She closes the double doors behind her softly, they shut with a click and when they do I drop my towel

to the floor grabbing the jumper that I'd tossed on the floor earlier and pull it over my head before

crawling into the bed and under the sheets, I lean over and switch off the lights over the bed, closing

my eyes in an attempt to sleep.

I'm unsure how long tossing and turning passes before I huff, laying on my back staring at the posts on

the bed frame. I can smell Kai's scent from in here, making me restless and disappointed that he's not

in bed with me. I consider going over to his room but I talk myself out of it realising that he probably

wouldn't have given me this room if he wanted me to stay in his.

Another huff escapes me as I turn onto my side, facing the balcony that was now covered by dark blue

curtains that matched the little flowers on the bedsheets. I close my eyes, trying again to force myself

asleep but they flick open when I hear the soft click of the bedroom door opening.

Malakai's scent overwhelms my senses as he crawls into the bed, he gets under the blanket then

moves over so the front of his body is perfectly aligned with mine and he snakes his arm around my

waist. He pushes the fabric of his jumper up so he can rest his palm flat on my lower stomach.

" Can't sleep? " He whispers into my ear, laying a soft kiss behind it.

A smile takes over my face. " I'll be able to now you're here. " I whisper back.

" Are you sure about that? " I can feel his smirk against my neck as he pushes his body closer to mine,

intertwining his bare legs with mine.

Turning to face him, I place my arm under my head and my hand on his bare chest, running my fingers

along his torso softly. " I'm not too sure now. " I hum as I feel his body.

He places his hand over mine, laying it flat on his chest, gaining my attention. His blue eyes shine with

worry, making me frown. " Please don't run away from me again. "

" I... I don't want to put anyone in danger by staying. " I admit softly.

" You're not putting anyone in danger Cori, I just need you to stay. I'll protect you, I'll stand with you and

you don't have to tell me anything until you're ready but I want you to accept being mine and accept

that I am yours. " He scans my face, begging me with his eyes.

" Okay. " I agree.

His beautiful face seems to light up. " Okay, you'll stay? "

" I'll stay. " I reassure him.

He leans forward planting his lips on my forehead, then my nose, then my cheek. He keeps his face

close to mine, staring into my eyes making me feel more at home than I had ever felt anywhere. A

feeling of familiarity, warmth and happiness settles within me. My eyes fall to his full lips then I lean into

him more.

" Can I kiss you? " He mumbles, his lips brush mine slightly.

Instead of answering him, I connect my lips with his. The kiss is soft, tender and I melt into him straight

away, I trail my hand up his chest, around his neck until my fingers are tangled in his long hair. He

slides his hand down to sit on my lower back, he pulls me forward making me gasp softly and wrap my

leg over his thigh.

He rolls me onto my back so that he is above me, never breaking the kiss. I hook my other leg around

his waist, pulling his lower half to mine. His hands feel up my hips under his jumper, pulling it up while

his hands move up my body. He pauses when his hands hold either side of my rib cage.

" You can touch me. " I tell him, he instantly moves his hands take hold of my breasts, his thumbs rub

over my nipples and I hum at the sensation. I find myself trailing one of my hands down his spine until it

settles on his ass cheek, I give it a gentle squeeze, as I press my front against his.

My breath comes out in slow pants as his trails kisses along my jawline, he reaches my earlobe and

sucks it into his mouth, then continues down my neck nipping at it then leaving wet kisses over the

stinging flesh.

He reaches the dip where my neck meets my shoulder, his tongue runs along where I'm supposed to

bear his mark, a soft moan slips past my mouth. By now I know my eyes are glowing purple, as he

pulls away to look at me I'm met with pitch black eyes.

" We should stop. " His voice is husky as he speaks.

" You don't..you're not... Oh. " I look away from him.

" I very much want to continue and I'm very much... enjoying myself. " He rids me of my insecure

thoughts, grabbing my hand and placing it on his hard bulge in his boxers, my lower stomach knots and

my lower half begins to ache as I feel him.

"The problem is all I want right now, is to pin you down, claim you as mine and mate with you for the

entire night. " His words only make the ache between my legs grow. He pulses in my hand and buries

his head in my neck, inhaling deeply. " I can smell how turned on you are for me darling. "

He pulls his head back, smashing his lips to mine again. This kiss is much more heated, but it's still

slow, passionate. He takes my lower lip between his teeth, I feel his fangs trail along it as he releases

it. I slide my tongue against his mouth a little, making him slide his to meet mine, I moan as I taste him.

He pulls away again. " I don't want to rush you into anything Corinna. If you want to stop tell me, just

tell me what you want to do.
