Book #4 Sirens call ***COMPLETED***

#9

She knew running was risky. It was a last ditch effort to escape a mad man. Two of them really. Her father forcing the mate bond to a man twice her age and not even her fated mate. She grabbed his hand suddenly and stared him down deep in her own world as the thoughts came pouring in. "I wanted to take this slow. I wanted to get to know you and do this differently than our kind normally does it. I know how patient you have been waiting on me. I don't want to run anymore. I don't want my name to be hope. I want my red hair back and my name back. I don't want to be someone else any more. It has only been a small amount of time and I really suck at it." She looked up to see the waitress bring their food and place it in front of them. The food smelled of garlic and it wafted through the air. Her stomach was flipping as she continued to form a plan inside her brain. "I want to accpet you as my mate. I want to go ahead with the mating process,but, as Alana not Hope."

His mouth had dropped open as she said the words he had been prayig to hear since he found out she was his mate. Everything in the tiny restaurant melted away and all he saw in his world was the two of them. Nothing else mattered. A smile crept up his face. "I can not tell you how happy I am to hear you say this. When do you want to do the mating process? I can wait as long as you need." He didn't want to push her away. He was terrified she would change his mind. Abe knew his heart couldn't make it if she changed. His wolf was pacing back and forth excited and nervous all at the same time. There was hope.

She shook her head as she took a bite of her food. "Mmm, this is delicious." She took a few more bites before she answered him. It was a long silent pause as he waited with baited breath. His stomach was turning in anticipation. Maybe she was changing her mind already? His mind was spinning and he couldn't stop it. "I don't want to wait. I want to do this tonight." He started choking on his food when her words hit his ears. He was happy and surprised. It hit him llike a wave in the ocean. She was accepting him. She was accpeting them together. Alana was saying yes to their mate bond. It was everything he wanted. She was everything he wanted. He tried pretending his mouth hadn't dropped open in shock.

"Are you sure? I mean I am all in it. I want nothing more but are you sure about this?" He closed his eyes bringing his fingers to the bridge of his nose squeazing it. He didn't want to say anything to scare her off. He was scared for his life in this very moment. He was struggling to stay calm."I don't want oyu to feel like I am forcing this on you."

Her msile was coy and it teased his senses. She lit his body on fire with that smile and his sense of control was melting away rapidly. "I mean, if you do not want to mark me and make me your mate I can....." She never got to finish her sentence. He stood up as his chair dropped to the floor and made his way to the other side of the table where she sat. reaching out to grab her hand he pulled her into his chest and lay a deep passionate kiss on her soft pink lips. Lips he had been dying to know how they felt and tasted. Her scent surrounded him, enveloping his body and sending deep waves of pleasure thour out his now fully engulfed body. She was everything and he wasn't about to let her go. There was no way he could. He nad his wolf would never recover if she chose to leave. They were hers no and forever and he would give his life to protect her. He pulled back taking in a deep breath. She moaned causing him to shiver."I take that as you accepting my proposal?"

"Can we leave right now? It seems night enough for me. You have no idea how hard it is to control myself right now." Her gigle resinated inside his soul. It was shattering to him and he melted into her once more taking in her lips and deepening the kiss betweewn them. He was claiming her in that moment making her his. He owuld never let her go. "If we don't leave soon, I am going to claim you n this restaruant in front of everyone."

"Check Please!" She yelled, trying to keep her voice steady, Tasting him she had lost all resolve to keep her distance. HIs chest was hard against her hands and she could feel every ridge of his masculine muscles. She shuddered as he threw some nills on the table. She knew it was more than enough to pay the bill and he dragged her out of the little place to the waiting SUV. It was a promise of what was to come. The desire and th epassion that they shared between them. A promise of love and protection for eternity. A promise that he would be there every moment he could to worship her and love her. It gave her hope for a future she hioped to have with him. A future of a family that she wanted rather than was forced on her. It was a long quiet drive back to the palace as he held her hand tight in his not releasing her for a second. The constant touch made her ache and long for him to be closer. The space between them a cavern that needed to be filled. The desire burned hot between the both of them. Their bodies heating with pleasure they anticipated to come. The knowledge they were pledging themselves to each other. Pledging themselves to love was sending a deep need for each other that would never burn out. This was something promised to them both by the moon goddess and they were taking it in and accepting the challenge. They barely knew each pother but there was something so deep and carnal about what they were doing. They were naimals and they were not denying their carnal animalistic side. They were embracing it. Alana's body was awake with desire. She needed to feel him closer to her body. They pulled up in front of the palace wasting no time to grab their things and make their way inside.

He grabbed her hand pulling her towards the steps of the palace. Their bodies crashed into each other as his lips landed on hers taking her in and exploring her mouth with his tongue. Pleasure coursed through her body at his touch as she felt her core heat with the desire. Her pleasure was bulding and they hadn't even started yet. She knew it was going to be everything she had ever wanted. His hands slid up her sides gripping her waist and pulling her closer to his rock hard body. She could feel his erection pressing into her causing her brain to deep dive into the pleasure she was feeling. His body was hard against her as he gropped her and keeping her close. She knew she wouldn't last much longer. She needed him like the very breath she needed for life. She had never felt this for any one else in her life and it felt so right to be with him. Everything about it felt so right. She hadn't even realized they had made their way to the top of the stairs near the palace doors. She felt herself being pressed against the hard wood doors as he gropped her cheeks under her dress. He was turning into a beast as his resolve was torn away. They knew there was no turning back now. There was no stoppng what they had started. They would never be the same again. He lifted her up onto him as she wrappe dher legs around his waist grinding into him causing him to moan out in pleasure.

Her desire was pooling in her panities as her need grew deeper with every touch. "Alana,"

Her name on his tongue sent a jolt through her. She liked the way he said it. She wanted to hear it again. Her brain was fuzzy as she spoke to him,"Mmmm, yes?" She could barely get words out as her brain was rapidly firing with a need to be to be taken by this beast.

"If you want me to stop you need to tell me now because we are getting to a point I won't be ale to the further we go."

She looked into his deep green eyes. She could see himself restraining against his desire. "I need you Abe." She barely whispered it on his tongue and anything he had that kept him from taking her was gone. Melted away like ice. He was going to make her his and it was going to be the most delicious feeling either of them had ever felt or tasted.
