The Brutal Alpha's Tender Daughter novel Chapter 64

However, I also understood that she wanted to be alone right now.

I let myself get distracted by the kids and their enthusiastic personalities, but I could feel how nervous I was and how fast my heart was beating in my chest. Black spots appeared in my vision and I could feel myself starting to tremble.

And suddenly it smelt like christmas. Like freshly baked cookies, pines and happiness and I knew Nathan had arrived. Instantly my vision cleared and my hands ceased their trembling.

I rose from my seat on the ground with the children like a was in a daze and slowly turned around.

And there he stood, Nathan, my mate.

Distantly I heard Faith calling the kids, but I could not focus on anything else except the most perfect looking man the moongoddess had ever created.

And finally I knew how a real meeting between mates should be.

My heart beat frantically in my chest, but it was not out of fear but out of joy.

We both walked towards each other and I marvelled at my mate's physique. It was true that Levin and Nathan looked alike, but in my eyes they could not be more different.

Nathan was very muscular and I longed to find safety in his embrace.

His eyes were the colour of scotch and held so much yearning that I had to remind myself to breath before I lost myself in them.

Nathan had a three-day stubble that together with his sharp bone structure made him look irresistible and made me long to feel it under my fingertips.

His hair was the same dark brown colour as Levin's, but it was a bit longer making me itch to run my fingers through it in order to find out if it was as soft as it looked.

His lips had a small smile on them and I knew instantly that Nathan was not used to smiling or laughing often. My heart literally melted when I realized that he smiled because of me.

And finally we were standing in front of each other and I knew deep in my bones that he was meant to be mine.

Slowly he raised his right hand and gently caressed my cheek. I instantly leaned into his touch, already becoming addicted to the powerful tingles coursing through me.

How could I have ever mistaken the tingles with Levin for the real deal?

Everything with Nathan felt so much stronger and there was no doubt at all if he was my mate or not.

My wolf howled joyusly in my mind, finally feeling whole.

"That is if you want me as well.", he added uncertainly and I hated the look of hurt and doubt in his eyes. I immediately realized that Nathan was used to getting his way and it filled me with power that Nathan was as much dependent on me as I was already on him.

"I want you, goddess do I want you!", I rushed out and saw his brown eyes soften with my words.

The haunted look vanished instantly from his eyes only to be replaced with longing and could it be love?

Slowly as if Nathan was unsure as to how I would react he closed the distance between our lips.

Unlike Levin's and mine first kiss I was not frozen in place, I instantly took action, because as soon as his lips touched mine a fire started to build and I needed to get closer.

My hands slipped from Nathan's face into his hair and his answering growl had his embrace tighten on me even further.

His tongue gently stroke over my lips and although I had never been kissed like this I just knew what to to.

So I opened my mouth and as soon as his tongue touched mine I moaned in ecstasy.

His answering growl let me know that I was doing everything right and when I started to imitate what he was doing with his tongue he suddenly drew back.
