His movement was so swift that she fell right into his chest, their lips almost brushing when she looked up to face him.
Marcus watched her suck in a deep breath as she came down from the high of the moment. The way her nipple was pressed against him, had his inside on a hot coal and he almost felt himself squirt.
Fuck.
"Are you okay? You almost didn't see that one" Marcus said with a nervous chuckle.
"I'm sorry. I was just uhm, sort of distracted." She said with a sigh before looking down at her feet.
Marcus could tell he made her nervous as much as she did him and that was good. It was a step closer. He was sure.
Shortly afterward, they began to move again, this time in complete awkward silence before Marcus decided to break it with his next question.
"So, uhm, do you have like a_ "
"_Boyfriend?" She quickly finished for him and he nodded.
"Yeah, do you have a boyfriend?"
She shook her head slightly before looking back at him. "Sam and I are just friends. He tells me he likes me but I can tell that he doesn't and I guess I'm just crazy to think he'd likes me as much as I do him"
"Sam is crazy, blind and just stupid if he can't like someone like you, Laura. You are every man's dream. My dream actually" Marcus blurted out before he could stop himself and she arches a curious brow at me.
"Well, I didn't mean it in a pervert way. I'm just trying to explain what he was out for not liking you and may I add, he might not be so crazy after all. I mean, not liking you means someone who really likes you would get a chance to like you"
Laura only laughed at his words.
"Well i doubt there is anyone out there who would like me the way I like him"
Her words seems to have hurt him a little but not enough to sway him even in the slightest.
"That's where you are wrong. There is someone who would literally worship everything about you. He is already in your life but you just haven't realized it just yet"
Marcus had replied with so much passion and conviction that Laura was almost convinced as she was left wondering who it could be.
They continued to walk until she staggered on something but was able to regain her balance before he could reach her.
"Are you okay? Maybe we should rest a little before we continue" He suggested and she agreed with a nod.
"I need to catch my breath and drink some water"
She grab her bottle water before drinking from it and then offered the rest to him as well.
"Here you go, have some.
" No, I'm fine"
She arched a brow, "Are you sure?"
"Of course"
"You are weird" she muttered under her breath and he chuckled.
"I have been told same so i guess i really am weird"
"True. So how much time do you think we have before nightfall?"
"We still have a mile to go so i'd say about seven hours before it's dark"
The thought of dusk brings frown to his face. Marcus knew he had to get her out of there before that old bat come snooping through the dark.
He needed to be in a territory he could easily call for back up and where they currently are is not exactly a good place to be engaging a vampire as old as Lin in a one on one fight.
Laura might get hurt and he really can't afford that.
He looked at her while she looked ahead into the distance. Smeared with ice, no make up and probably freezing her ass off yet so fucking beautiful.
He ought to be glad that Sam is blind to all of the things he is seeing. She was perfect and the moon goddess couldn't have chosen a better mate for him.
This moment out here in the cold is one he is always going to remember for as long as he lived. Marcus has already committed every part of her to memory.
The more he looked at her, the more he found something about her he was certain to obsessed about.
He'd give anything just to pull out the band in her hair and run his fingers through it while she moans out his name.
As though she could read his thought, she went ahead and closed her eyes while poking out her chest, so much so that her nipple was directly fixed towards his gaze.
Marcus could feel those two ripe buds begging to be sucked into his mouth until she was left begging him for a release. He wonders if anyone has been with her before. He doubt it but still, it made no difference to him.
When the time came for them to mate, he promised to show her what it means to be loved and adored. To have a real man love all of you without reservation or holding back.
Marcus knew. Oh he knew that day won't be long now as he could already imagine and feel it like the very blood rushing through his veins and feeling him even more aroused than ever.
He quickly looked away with a labored sigh. Marcus knew he was doomed. Already intoxicated with the thought of her even though he is yet to have a taste of her.
Now he knew why newly mated are never separated from one another no matter what. The feeling is like that of addiction. Always have this needs to get high and lost in the feel of the one that shares a part of your soul.
It was truly amazing. A phenomenon that can't be explained. It's even more crazy that many don't get to feel this way. Many werewolves go through life without meeting their mate. Most of them get tired of waiting and go rogue mating with whomever they come across.
Marcus finding his own mate and in a woman like Laura is something he would forever be grateful for.
More minutes rolled by before she turned to him away, his time looking a lot eager to move.
"I think, I'm ready for us to keep moving now."
"Alright ma'am. Ready when you are" Marcus chirped happily and she smiled.
"Need help carrying your bag pack?" Marcus asked shortly, finally realizing he haven't even offered to help her since.
No wonder she got tired so easily when they started out earlier.
What an ass he had being, he mentally scolded himself before reaching to lift her bag but she stopped him midway.
"No..no, it's fine really. I can carry my own bag pack. Thank you offering to help me"
She said politely and Marcus nodded in understanding.
"Okay Laura. I absolutely forgot you already survived a day on your own before I came along. You definitely don't need me doting on you"
"Hahaha, very funny, Marcus but still no thanks"
He didn't mean to make joke out of the situation but he was glad she quickly catch up even though she doesn't in anyway think it was also funny. A woman with a complete sense of wit.
Perfect.
