Mine to Protect Chapter 101: YOU AND ME

*Hazel*

The next morning, I wake up to an empty bed, Derek must have got up to handle his work, he could have woken me, we have so many things to do. Although I don’t really know how to act around him after what happened yesterday; we had sex, incredible sex, but we haven’t really sorted things out between us.

We have eaten the cake without paying the bill, and now I don’t know if we have enough money to pay. After yesterday I can’t deny anymore that I still love him, it’s not just physical attraction, we are connected more deeply than that. But what if he thinks that I am easy because I slept with him, when I repeatedly said that I wouldn’t? I said that I wasn’t ready, and then I jumped on his cock the first chance I got. Doesn’t this make me a hypocrite and a slutty person?

Just when I am having this internal monologue, Derek opens the door and shuts it behind him. He’s wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and he’s all sweaty, so I imagine he’s gone training or working out.

“Hey,” I say, a little embarrassed, but Derek doesn’t answer, his eyes are glowing blue, and he stalks toward me like I am his prey. With one fluid movement his sends the bedsheet flying to the floor, uncovering my nakedness. I stay there frozen, not sure what to do.

“Fucking you once wasn’t nearly enough, I have woken up with this erection, and no number of cold showers or running can make it go down, so now you have to take responsibility for what you have done to me,” he says, pointing to his crotch.

And he’s not kidding, I can see clearly the tent in his shorts, and I wonder how he’s gone around the packhouse and training grounds like that!

A laugh escapes me at the thought, making him frown.

“Do you find this funny?” he asks, arching an eyebrow.

“Well, it is a little amusing, you going around like that. But you are right, it is my responsibility to help you solve this little problem,” I say, licking my lips. So much for not acting slutty, but it’s not my fault, the sight of his hard dick is making me horny as hell, I blame it on the mate bond!

I climb off the bed, and sway my hips sexily on purpose, then push him onto the bed, making him sit down, his weight resting on his elbows. He’s watching me in trepidation, and I decide to play a little with him, before giving him what he wants.

I slide his shorts and boxers down, freeing his huge hard cock from his restraints, then I massage it with my hand slowly in circular motions, licking with my tongue the bids of precum that are leaking from his tip.

“You taste delicious,” I moan, licking my lips again.

Then I lick his length from his hilt to its tip multiple times, until it is wet enough, just to my liking, and I keep pumping it in my hand, while I suck his balls in my mouth, earning a low growl from him.

“Do you like it?” I ask him, trying to sound sexy.

Derek bends down towards me, and grabs me by my hair, not in a painful way, his mouth reaches my ear, while his other hand strokes my pussy, making me moan.

“I want you to take my cock into those sweet lips of yours, and suck it until you drink every last drop,” he growls again, making me shiver. I don’t know why I like him when he’s so bossy and dominant, maybe I like a man who can make me submit.

He taps my pussy hard with his hand, sending more pleasure through me, and then he rests back again on his elbows on the bed, watching me intently, waiting for me to follow his orders.

I don’t disappoint him, I start sucking him hard, sucking my cheeks in, to heighten his pleasure, and I don’t stop, even when his thrusts make me gag, and I feel like I can’t breathe. Strangely his rough behaviour excites me, making me more aroused than ever, so much that I am dripping wet, my things all coated with my juices.

When he comes into my mouth, with a loud sigh of pleasure, I swallow it all happily, I like the taste of him, and I adore seeing him completely lost in his release.

Yesterday, I still wasn’t sure if I could forget and forgive all the bad memories, and today I am already giving my whole to him again; his closeness and repentant attitude, the knowledge that our lives could end soon, have given me the clarity I needed, the strength to offer my heart to him again, hoping that this time he will handle it with care.

Against all my efforts, Derek’s erection still doesn’t go down, making me feel a little bad for him, and making me wonder what levels of libido Alphas normally have. We end up having sex all day, never leaving the secure walls of our room, we would sleep when we are tired, and have some food brought to our room when we are hungry.

But even like this, I still feel like we haven’t set things straight between us, so the next day, I decide to make a surprise for Derek. After he’s gone out for a meeting, I prepare some food to go, and place it in a bag, then I tell Alice that I am setting up a date for Derek and I, I tell her to pass on to Derek, that he can find me in our spot, when he comes back. Then I gather my clothes in the bag with the food, turn into my wolf, and run towards the spot where he once proposed to me, the spot where we shared some of our best memories.

It takes me two hours to find the spot, not being very good at remembering routes, and being the place quite difficult to find. But when I get there, I can’t help feeling excited, the place is exactly as it was last time, mesmerizing and incredible!

The perfect place for my proposal.

It’s already evening when Derek gets here, and he finds me asleep on the picnic blanket I have brought with me.

“Kitten, I am sorry. Alice passed me your message only when I came back, she told me you waited the whole day, I am so sorry.”

“Don’t worry, I told her to do that, I didn’t want to disturb you now that you are so busy.”

“I would never be too busy for you, so don’t do this again, knowing that you have been here on your own a whole day, without communicating with anyone, nearly scared me to death.”

I laugh a little, “Don’t die on me now, then, there’s something important I want to talk to you about.”

He sits on the blanket with me, draping a warm arm around my shoulders.

“Derek, I am sorry for rejecting you, I should never have done that, I should have given you more time. And I am sorry for what happened with Lukas, it was never my intention to hurt any of you, and I can assure you that I have no feelings for him, and vice versa.”

Derek swallows, but doesn’t say anything, so I continue.

“Yesterday we have reconnected on a physical level, and I am happy we did, I just hope you don’t regret any of it.”

“Never,” he says, grabbing my hand in his.

“Good, because I wanted to ask you, if you would like to …be my mate again.”

At this point my face must be completely red, I don’t even dare look him in the eyes, scared of what I will find there.

Derek lifts my chin up to meet his eyes, and they are full of emotions and affection, making me relax just a little.

“First of all, don’t apologize for rejecting me, I deserved it, and I needed something that could bring me out of my state of blind rage, your rejection did just that, it brought me back to the present, and made me see clearly all my mistakes. I am the one who should say sorry for the way I have treated you at the time. I feel so lucky that you decided to forgive me, I thought I had lost you forever.”

“So, you are going to be my mate again?” I ask, summarizing his speech.

“I never stopped being your mate, like you have never ceased being mine.”
