Free Unforgiven (The Forbidden Bond 2) by Cat Miller Page B

she wanted him.
    “Chase, baby. Please. I need…” Damn it! They had been intimate for six months but it was still hard to say what she wanted.
    “Tell me what you need, my Lovely. I want to give it to you.” He purred and gave her another stroke of his tongue. Dani almost bucked him off of her. The force of her need was so great. She realized then that she had hurt him. The look on his face was intense, almost playful, but on closer inspection her senses were picking up sadness. He had felt her doubt before she entered the room and was hurt by it. She answered him the only way she knew how. With the truth.
    “I need you, Chase Deidrick, to love me always. I need you to cherish my body, as I will cherish yours. I need you to understand my need to protect you from anything that could bring you harm. Even if that means protecting you from me. And I need you to be my one true mate in this life and all the lives that follow.” She released a sigh of regret for hurting him tonight of all nights. “I need you to love me.”

    She had taken his breath away. Fighting tears of joy, Chase rested his forehead on her belly while gripping her rounded hips. She hadn’t really doubted him. It was her worthiness to be his mate she had doubted. All thoughts of making her beg fled. He lowered his head again and gave her what she needed. He lapped at her ruthlessly until her cries of pleasure echoed off the ceiling and filled the room. Once assured that he had satisfied his mate’s needs he climbed over her and looked deeply into her obsidian, passion-filled eyes. When he rested himself against her, Danielle moaned a restless sound of needy longing.
    “I will always love and cherish your body and soul. I have loved you since we first met. It just took me a while to realize how singularly unique a love so precious could be and I will spend eternity proving the depth of my love to you. I will be your one true mate in this life and all the lives that follow.”
    With those vows of love, which were not the traditionalbonding vows, Chase pushed forward to enter her slick body. It seemed to him that Danielle had been very careful to keep her distance telepathically during their love play, but her restraint snapped when his length filled and stretched her tight depths. He moved slowly in an effort to maintain control. His Lovely’s mind had entered his own and the glory of their joined bodies and minds threatened to unravel him completely. With every long stroke into her bodyhe felt her pleasure at being entered as well as his own at feeling her heat grasp him and trying to hold him every move.As he inhaled the intoxicating vanilla and lavender scent that followed her every move, he instantly knew her joy in the scent of summer that radiated off of him. He possessed her bodyand knew what it felt like to be possessed in return. He was close, too close. Chase pulled back slowly, and slid his hand between himself and his writhing mate-to-be. Careful to still his body, Chase caressed her little bud of nerves with his thumb, and allowed her to move against him. It was still very intense, but he needed to hold out. The sun was about to rise and he wanted to take his mate into his soul with her namesake sunlight glistening on her sweat dampened skin.

    “I need to… I have to…” Dani panted. She wanted to explode with him but he was holding back.
    “Yes, Lovely. Melt for me. I’m not done with you yet. Will you accept my bond in the light of day? I want to watch the sunrise on the first day of our bond to each other.”
    He was gritting his teeth and straining for control. Dani tried frantically to pull back some from their telepathic connection. She was about to lose it and she would surely drag him with her. It seemed to help and he breathed more easily. Dani couldn’t hold off any longer. She bucked against his body and pressed herself into his hand. The world tilted and she came apart in his arms. Slowly, she drifted
