Mated to the Alpha Knight novel Chapter 15

Emrys was right.

Ostana and Laker were quite busy as they had been for hours now; a small alarm clock glowed its blue numbers harshly into the overall dark room, 1:01. Sighing, I turned onto my side and tried to drown out the sounds that came from two floors up, my thoughts drifting back to what they now seemed to long for all the time - Emrys. It made sense he is not my brother, thank Goddess above, but that still left such a mystery to me; who is he? Where is he from? Why did he grow up with me? And the one question that seemed to bother me the most, why did my parents lie to me?

Plus it didn’t help that my body was starting to feel like it was catching on fire again… Stupid werewolf heat.

As the couple started another round, and since I stupidly agreed to watch the horror movie from earlier, sleep was desolate even though my eyes were heavy and mind clouded. Taking my phone, turning on the flashlight, and tiptoeing down the hall I knocked softly against the white door.

Not a minute more, Emrys opened up the door with a sleepy smile. “Couldn’t sleep?”

Rolling my eyes and shaking my head no, he allowed me to enter and I pointed to the desk with a small lamp on after turning off my phone's light. “You neither,”

“Nope,” He popped the ‘p’ and shut the door behind me, my mind instantly relaxing with him near me. “Aren’t you glad you didn’t take a room on the third or fourth floor,” Emrys chuckled as I sat down on his bed, his eyes watching me closely as I moved his untouched dark grey covers over my bare legs, and rested my chin in my palm.

“Very glad… At this point, I’m ready to sleep outside next to the hobo’s,”

“Well, I can’t have my mate catching a cold,” Emrys chuckled as he sat down next to me on the bed, his scent blessing my nose, and his nearness chasing away both the heat and thoughts of the horror movie. Smiling, I looked to his pink lips and noticed just how soft they looked; a small scar etched above his lip seemed new. “Kiss me,” A whisper.

Leaning in, allowing time to dance between us shortly, I touched my lips to his and shivers fell down my spine as those addicting sparks crossed over my body; why did I ever push this - Him away? How could I now?

Emrys slid his tongue over my lips, asking for entrance, which I could never deny him and as he deepened the kiss, Emrys gently pushed me back against the pillows; his strong body hovering over mine, one hand holding himself up while his other cupped my chin. Every corner of my mouth was explored by his slow moving tongue and I found myself locking my arms around his neck, pulling him closer and begging for him to make the kiss deeper and deeper; a small moan involuntary left my mouth only to be silenced by his. Emrys’ hand that cupped my chin gripped my waist not a second more after I moaned, and with a small whine of protest from me, he pulled away only to remove his shirt and his hands clasping on to my hips with a grip.
