The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 18

He began with leaving blatant marks on her inner thigh, riling her up until she could barely take it anymore. His eyes were still on her, watching her as he moved closer to the apex of her thighs.

Quinn was impossibly wet, so much so that she felt ashamed of herself. It’s been months since she had any form of intimate contact, and now this man was giving her more than Jeo ever could with just a few touches.

Her hands clenched by her side as she waited for him to reach the climax, as well as the conclusion of this night. He chuckled, the sound throaty. “You’re so impatient, little red…but then again, it’s time I gave you what you want.”

With those words, his lips dived between her folds and Quinn hurled over from the pleasure, shiver after shiver wracking down her spine. She straightened herself, not able to hold back her cry when the anticipation that had been drowning her finally washed her up ashore.

She grabbed the back of his head, shoving it deeper between her thighs as his tongue circled her flesh and his lips sucked greedily at the pink nob. “I…goddess…I’m close.”

His teeth grazed her clit and then a finger of his circled the rim of her entrance before slowly sinking inside. Quinn moaned, feeling the pleasure all the way down to her curling toes.

Her legs were shaking so much that she could barely hold herself up…this was bliss, fervent butterflies were burning a path in the pit of her stomach. The heat was rising, to a point where she could not hold back the explosion. Her body stiffened, head thrown back as she finally let go, coming on his finger that had dug so deep into her.

He didn’t stop lapping at her essence, not until the prominent convulsion of her body came to a sudden stop. He pulled away then, licking her slick off his lips and sliding her leg off his shoulder.

He straightened himself, standing to his feet and towering over her. “Was that enough? Did you finally recognize the compatibility and the bond between us? Is this enough to prove that you are mine?”

He smirked, index finger sliding across her neck, stopping at the burn mark that was there. “Or must I just mark you? It’d be nice to replace his stupid mark with mine once and for all.”

At those words, Quinn’s body tensed, her eyes glancing down to her clothes on the low grass and then up at him. It seemed she’d been drunk before, but she had sobered up now, what had she done? How could she have…?

He said he was her mate, but it could have been a lie…and even if it was the truth…Quinn didn’t…she didn’t want to start all over again, to get hurt all over again.

Jeo had done enough damage…she couldn’t deal with the emotional trauma of being betrayed again. Pushing herself off the tree, she walked around him, ready to run away, but he grabbed her hand…just like he did that night when Jeo hauled her away from him. “Quinn, where are you going? At least stay here a little longer with me.”

“No…” Quinn clenched her jaws, hauling her hand out of his. “I don’t want anything to do with you anymore…consider tonight a mistake, one that I terribly regret.”

And then she ran off, changing into her silver wolf mid-run. She ran back home, not even greeting her parents as she walked inside; naked and sad. Her father tried to talk to her, but she slammed the door in his face…putting on some clothes before curling up beneath the sheets.

She was an idiot…she’d just made a fool out of herself, and for what?

The tears that rushed down her cheeks, she wiped them, tangibly feeling as her pride diminished. She shouldn’t have fallen for that, shouldn’t have fallen for him.

His mouth was as wild as lupins, he was the alpha king; he could get any woman he wanted, and he chose her? The girl with the scar of an abandoned mark on her neck…

Quinn laughed bitterly. If she fell for him, he’d toss her aside…because him too would soon realize that she wasn’t enough, even if it takes him three years.

With a trembling hand, Quinn pulled the sheets from over her head and looked blurrily at the black jacket splayed out across her pillow. She reached for it, pulling it against her chest after inhaling its scent.

As predicted, it calmed her, giving her a reason to find peace in her sleep.
