Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 151

Briar

“Aren’t you cold?” Carter asked as he wrapped his arms around me from behind, as I stared at the valley. One hand rested across my lower stomach, his thumb gently stroking the skin. I shook my head no, I had been running hot recently, probably the pregnancy hormones kicking in. To be honest, the cool breeze across my skin felt good, but nothing felt better than basking in the feel of his arms around me. He kissed my hair and inhaled before I found myself asking.

“How does it feel when you shift?” I felt a smile turn up on his lips against my ear.

“Like breaking free, becoming whole, it feels right, like becoming one with the world around you,” he tells me.

I sit with that for a moment, a sense of longing rising within me. I wanted that, the wolf seemed to agree, as my skin felt suddenly itchy and I found myself flexing my fingers. To stave off that feeling. I hooked one hand onto his arm, wrapped around my shoulders, letting the other interlace with his hand over my flat stomach. When Lana had rushed out last night, she came back with a box of saltines and five pregnancy tests. I had stared at them in disbelief one after the other before I sank onto the hotel bed and stared at the wall. Lana, for once, was quiet, letting me process. My brain was doing math. I had my period since being here once or twice, after the stress and trauma, missing a few months wasn’t unheard of, but I was sure the baby was Carter's after I let the fact sync in. I have had a monthly cycle since escaping Creedon. After that, I let my resolve take over. I had already given Carter my heart. If he didn’t want the baby, I’d run, knowing that Jake had left another purpose for me, that this pack was my people, just solidified the stance I had resolved last night. I’d stand and fight for my future with Carter. I’d become whatever I had to be to ensure this child had the life they deserved. I would fight for it, if need be. A fierceness rose up and told me I would most definitely kill for it. The way Carter held me told me he would kill for our future, too.

I turned in Carter's arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. He looked down at me, the swirl of emotion hard to read, so I sought it deep down within myself to that place I had discovered. Love, pride, a primal sort of protection, but deeper down, the anxiety churned. I understood our future was uncertain, that we would have to fight for it tooth and claw. But we would do it together, and that made all the difference.

As she turned in my arms, she cupped my cheeks, she stared up at me, but I felt her as she accessed the bond between us, feeling me entirely in my emotions. I did the same. Her thumbs stroked the stubble across my cheeks, and I felt the overwhelming sense of rightness wash over me from her side of the bond. She chose us. My eyes focused back on hers as her hands tangled into my hair at the back of my head and brought my face down to hers. Our mouths met, and I lifted her up by her thighs to tangle her legs around my waist before I moved us inside. The kiss poured promises from both sides as I left the door open and plastered her against the wall next to the fridge. We broke apart, and her heated breath panted. I gripped the back of her jeans and she released her legs from me as I yanked them down the second her feet hit the floor. I pulled them over her hips not bothering with the zipper as she unbuckled my belt and undid the button of my pants letting them fall around my ankles. She kicked out of her shoes and lobbed them and her pants aside with her foot. Her jeans had come off too easily. Two weeks away and she was already losing too much weight, I’d fix that, but right now we needed this. I kicked my pants to the side. She pulled my cock from my boxers next and I groaned. I needed her so damn much, it was a marvel I could breath without her in the same room, I realized. I crashed my mouth to hers again, my forefingers looping into the side of her panties, pulling them, panting, with my true strength I ripped them, letting them fall to the floor. She took in a sharp breath. I just lifted her at her thighs and flattened her back against the wall as I guided my cock to her entrance. 

I paused, “I need you,” I growled into her ear.

“I need you too.” she responded. I found her pussy wet for me as I thrust inch after inch into her. My eyes rolled into the back of my head just from the feel of her. Her hot breath ghosted across my neck, urging me further. The heat of her mouth nipped across my jaw, making me near feral.

“If I bite you, you’re mine,” I growled against her skin. “I don’t know if I can hold back anymore,” I admitted

“Do it,” she replied with finality, her eyes on mine; her mind seemed to be made up. “I chose you, Carter, before I knew of any bond between us. I still choose you.”

I sank down into our bond, wanting to be sure it wasn’t just the sex making her say things she didn’t mean. I found only acceptance there. She trusted me and anything to get that fucking parasite off her would do for me, but honestly, I had chosen her the day I met her, I realized. A rush of saliva filled my mouth as the need for her washed over me with the solidarity. My canines elongate,d and I bit down on her flawless neck, sinking my canines into her flesh as I thrust into her. I felt the euphoria wash over her, the same as mine; as my claim on her became solid, blocking Creedon’s from compromising her further. I lapped at the wound I had created, as she quaked and shivered between me and the wall, her beautiful aqua eyes lost in the haze of the feeling, her wolf watching me through her half lidded eyes, her chest heaved with her breaths, mouth open as she panted, a glimmer of white caught my attention, her canines had lengthened into sharp points.

“If you want me, sweetheart, you need to claim me,” I said, looking her dead in the eyes
