"Xan claimed you. A wolfless is her fated mate?" Luca questioned, confused.
Before I could answer, Xan stormed into the room. "I didn't mean to!"
"I only wanted to mark him as my slave, but my wolf took over," Xan tried to explain herself.
"Before or after you felt the fated mate bond?" Luca questioned. I couldn't tell if he was angry or amused.
"Why didn't you reject him the moment it happened?" Luca spoke again before she could.
"I tried. I even shifted into my human form, but he got away, and when I caught up with him again, my wolf took over." Her voice panicked.
It was then that I discovered Xan's weakness…. Luca.
"This could have been prevented if you had allowed my Shamika to bind us with a spell," Xan cried.
"Oh. So now this is my fault?" Luca questioned.
"Of course not. That is not what I am saying," Xan tried to rectify the situation.
"I could kill him. You know I have the right since he belongs to me," Xan suggested, sending fear down my spine.
"I thought he is my birthday gift?" Luca corrected her.
"Ok. Well, you can kill him," Xan tried again.
"Leave us," Luca said, his eyes on mine.
"You could just send me to Alpha Eric's pack to turn me into a vampire when he gets hold of a vampire again," I gave my two cents.
"Who is asking you?" Xan half shouted at me.
"We will do no such thing," Luca said and shut the door behind Xan, locking it.
"Come," Luca said, taking my hand and walking me to the bed.
"Have you ever been with a man?" He asked, his voice tender.
"No," I answered truthfully.
"It sounds like your heart is about to jump out of your chest," Luca half chuckled, placing his hand on my chest.
"I don't want to die," my voice trembled.
"I promise you no harm will come to you," Luca tried to calm me down.
"You just promised," I stated in shock.
"I sure did," Luca chuckled.
Everyone knows a vampire promise holds more power than a promise made by any other species. If they break their promise or even just attempt or think about breaking it, they're skin starts to boil. If it is a broken promise, they will burn until they die.
"Can I kiss you?" Luca's voice came softly. Gently. Soothing.
I wanted to ask him why he even asks permission since he owns my ass, but I decided to just say yes.
"Yes," I agreed, knowing protection from him could go a long way. It will buy me time to find my sister. I wonder if he could help me find her. I knew Xan must have been going crazy hearing my thoughts. *
He explores my lips with the tip of his finger first. My eyes were fixated on his face. The look of great interest was displayed across his face and his beautiful eyes. His lips replaced his fingers. I didn't expect the kiss to be so soft, so tender. He parted my lips slightly with his wet tongue. I didn't know what to expect from being kissed by a man, but I surely didn't expect that. His hand slipped around my head. I wasn't sure if I should touch him back. Hell, I wasn't sure if I wanted to touch him back, but I needed his protection. I slowly raised my one hand and touched his arm. The touch made him deepen the kiss. I've never been kissed like that in my life. I felt my chest swell as I tasted him, smelled him, felt him.
He took a deep breath through his nose, taking my scent in. He pulled away from the kiss, but our lips were still against each other. "I want you."
I felt his hands trace down my back to my rear end. He gave me a tight squeeze, "You won't regret it."
I wasn't sure why he was stating it like he needed permission. How many times do I have to tell him I am his slave?
"You know I don't have a choice in the matter," I reminded him.
My words made him stop, and he stepped away from me as if touching me had burned him.
"I won't have you if it is not mutual," Luca said and walked over to where my cargo pants were lying, I assume it was his since it appeared he was the only male in the pack. He passed the pants to me. "There are a few shirts in the closet."
"I am sorry," I tried to rectify the situation, not putting the cargo pants on just yet. "I've never been with a man. It has never even crossed my mind." I walked over to him, closing the gap between us. "But the way you just kissed me," I started finding myself wanting him to kiss me again. "I've never felt anything like that either."
My words light up his face. The pure joy on his face, for some reason, gave me butterflies. I didn't understand why it made me happy to see him happy since I had just met him.
His hands found the side of my face, and he gently kissed me again but this time I kissed him back.
He pulled out of the kiss. "We will take it slow. There is no rush."
"Ok," Is all I managed to say. I thought we were going to have sex that instant but much to my surprise Luca turned away and pulled on his own clothing.
"Get dressed," he ordered me with a gorgeous smile. "It is my birthday and I want to go party."
"Oh. Ok. Well have fun," I stated and put on the shorts.
"Grab a pants and something nice from my closet. You are coming with me," Luca said, radiating with excitement. "First, we will go to my pack. I need a wolfless drink."
"You can drink from me. Is that not the real reason Xan gifted me to you?" I questioned half confused.
"Thanks for the offer but since my blood is running through your veins I can't drink from you for at least two days," he explained.
"Oh. I forgot about that small detail," I added as I walked over to his closet.
I pulled out an outfit and turned it to him. "How about this?"
"Perfect," he smiled brushing his hands through his hair styling it a bit.
After getting dressed he dragged his hands through my hair. "There, perfect."
I couldn't help but smile at him.
"You got to stop doing that if you don't want me to fck you," Luca stated and unlocked the door.
Of course, Xan was standing there arms folded.
